In the south of the eastern capital, within a radius of ten miles, there are roads that are no more than one zhang wide, arranged horizontally and vertically, and there is no discipline.

The road is uneven, half sand and half slate, and the domestic water flows in the middle of the road, and after half of the road is blocked, it becomes a stinky ditch.

On both sides of the road, in rows of dilapidated houses no more than two people high, lived poor people in ragged clothes.

This is the largest slum in the Eastern Capital, where more than 300,000 poor people gather without food or clothing. Every day, people die because of the poor living conditions. Others, after getting sick, have no money for treatment, and endure the torture of illness every day.

Xiao Ningzi's father lives in a dilapidated house on one of the streets.

Sun Ning walked all the way, only to see that those children were all yellow and thin, and those old people were skinny, and their bones had obvious protruding marks, as if they would break as long as they were gently pulled.

He was shocked to see, and a strong compassion arose in his heart.

Looking at the broken door that couldn't cover the wind and frost at all, Sun Ning was sure that there was still not much difference from Xiao Ningzi's four-year-old impression, so he knocked on the door and said, "Is anyone there?"

No one answered.

Sun Ning pushed the door in, and a strong musty smell suddenly hit his nose.

This garbage-like house is full of broken things, many things have become moldy, smelly, and even insected, and I don't know how long it has been since no one cleaned them.

The only thing in the room that was still intact was the crooked broken bed.

A middle-aged man who was as thin as a firewood stick, his face was dark, and he was about to be poisoned, lying on the bed. Those eyes, motionless, seemed to be nothing, and they really looked like a dead man.

If it weren't for the snoring sound of the thick phlegm that could not be cleaned up in his chest between his breaths, it would have made people suspect that he was dead.

Sun Ning frowned slightly, the smell in the room not only rushed to his nose, but also spicy eyes, I really don't know how this person survived.

But after he identified it, he still recognized it, this is Xiao Ningzi's father.

"Father...... Dear, father!" Sun Ning walked over and called, "Father, how are you?"

He and Xiao Ningzi are not the same person for a long time. But in front of this kind of thing, you have to be a person to be considered a human being.

When he shouted the word father, Father Ning, who was lying on the bed as if he was dead, suddenly showed an excited look on his face, grabbed his hand, and looked him up and down: "Ning...... Are you Ning'er?"

"It's me!

"No! No, you're not my Ning'er! You were sent by Gui Xinlan, aren't you?" Father Ning's whole body trembled, and his hands holding Sun Ning's arms trembled violently, and he shouted incoherently: "No! Although we haven't seen each other for ten years, I can still see it between my eyebrows!"

Sun Ning couldn't help but be surprised, how could Father Ning know Gui Xinlan's name?

Now that he is cultivating martial arts, his eyesight has greatly improved, and he can naturally see that Father Ning is dying, and now he is just returning to the light. At most, he will die in less than a day.

"I still don't believe it! I don't believe you're Ning'er!" Ning's father screamed, "I ask you, who were you with before you were four years old?"

Sun Ning knew that he was verifying his identity, and his heart was even more strange. But he still recalled it in Xiao Ningzi's memory, and said half-loudly: "With you, I've always been with you, and I've never seen anyone else!"

"What did you call me then?"

"I call you Uncle Lan, you don't let me call you father, you let me call you Uncle Lan!"

"Tell me, why did you enter the palace?"

"One day...... A man found us and seemed to be trying to kill me. I don't know the exact process, but in the end I was taken to the palace......"

"Yes, yes, yes, I finally ask you, what was the sentence I told you when you entered the palace?"

"Live...... You have to live, no matter how hard it is, you have to live!"

After saying this, Father Ning trembled again. Suddenly, he didn't know where he got the strength, he got up from the bed with a grunt, kowtowed heavily, and shouted in tears: "Old slave Xu Canglan, the former leader of the Peony Palace, the second eunuch, meet the ten princes!"

"What?"

Sun Ning's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in surprise: "Ten princes, are you not confused?"

After a long speech, Sun Ning roughly understood......

More than ten years ago, a sage who was badly injured and was about to die somehow landed in the Peony Palace.

The lord of the Peony Palace, Emperor Wei's favorite concubine, Concubine Ming, not only did not have greed, but also took him in.

The sage was very moved, and before he died, he gave a holy light to Concubine Ming, who was pregnant with a fetus.

This baby is the Ten Princes, that is, Xiao Ningzi.

Concubine Ming asked her elder brother Uncle Sun Guo to take the body of the sage out of the palace and find a place to bury it properly.

This matter was discovered by the queen and the crown prince, who regarded Concubine Ming as a thorn in their side.

After a careful plan, Uncle Sun was killed, and Concubine Ming was tortured to death.

Xiao Ningzi was carried by Xu Canglan and escaped from the palace.

Later, he was found by Gui Xinlan, and to ask about the whereabouts of the sage's body to no avail, Xiao Ningzi was brought into the palace and became a eunuch again......

Sun Ning was not too interested in these old things.

But what shocked him was the Sage who died in the Peony Palace and was sent out, and his body.

Saint represents a supreme martial arts realm, and also represents a supreme position.

The Holy One, immortal for thousands of years, penetrates the heavens and the earth, and is omnipotent.

The Holy Bone is the best material for refining the supreme magic weapon.

Holy blood is the best treasure for improving cultivation.

Divine will is the only thing that refines the soul.

One can imagine what a violent tremor it would bring to the land when a great sage fell in the palace!

Concubine Ming and her brother Uncle Sun Guo were able not to be greedy for the bones of the sage, which is really commendable.

But I heard Xu Canglan say with difficulty: "I have also received the great favor of Concubine Ming, as well as Hai Chunlan Hai's father-in-law, he is now the head of the Internal Affairs Office and the chief eunuch, and the wind and grass in the palace are basically impossible to hide from him...... On the last day of every month, he would leave relevant messages in the Red Moon Tower. I followed the map and knew all these things......"

Sun Ning's eyes suddenly lit up.

Since he was taken out of the palace by the Nine Emperor Princes, he has never found a way to re-enter the palace. During these days, I really put a lot of thought into this matter, and I was at a loss.

How can it be easy to enter and exit the Imperial Palace?

But there are still five hundred red tigers in the palace, waiting to be slaughtered by themselves, this rich experience and vitality, you must not let go!

Now, this problem has been basically solved. As long as Hai Chunlan is found, it is natural to use the identity of the 'Ten Princes' and bring himself into the palace with his status.
