On the way out of the suburbs of Xijing, Xing Fusheng was afraid that he would miss Xin Zi, so he was careful all the way, never leaving the official road for half a step, even if he rested a little at night, and he slept on the side of the road, which slowed down the progress, and it took four or five days to finally meet Xin Zi and the others.

And after getting Xin Zi's instructions, after coming out of the courtyard of the Zhang family, Xing Fu put all his thoughts on the road, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he didn't dare to delay even a moment on the road, even if he drank water and ate, he never stopped, so he walked all the way down and arrived in Xijing City in only one day and one night.

Standing outside the Shunzhen Gate of the Forbidden Palace, he only felt top-heavy, and the next moment he was about to fall asleep on the ground, and the whole person was supported by the last bit of "Xin Zi's assignment must not be disappointed".

The guards guarding the palace gate saw Xing Fu standing there from a distance, looking over with a pale face, but his steps were extremely heavy, he thought for a moment and greeted him.

The errands who can be in the palace are not ordinary people, at least they are a hundred times more flexible than ordinary families in dealing with people, and the guards who rushed forward have been guarding the post outside Shunzhen's gate for three years, so he naturally has his advantages. One of them is that his ability to recognize people is a head above ordinary people. Although he can't talk about unforgettable, Xing Fu followed Xin Zi in and out of this gate to the Sacred Heart Palace to visit the Empress Dowager and Empress a year ago, but he remembered it.

Therefore, seeing Xing Fu staggering over with a tired face after a day and night journey, he boldly stepped forward to support him, and even asked, "Childe, what's the urgency?" ”

Xing Fu was dressed in a gray-brown shirt and trousers, except for the saber on his waist, there was no half of anything of value on his body, and if he was thrown on the street, he would definitely be regarded as a guardian or servant of a large family, but the guard on the errand still called him Gongzi, but it was just to hint that Xing Fu had followed Xin Zi, and he remembered it.

Xing Fu understood, threw a grateful glance at the guards, and said respectfully: "I have something important to ask to see the prince, and I bother the lord to let him go." ”

If these words came from other people's mouths, I was afraid that they would have been forked out by a few guards at this moment.

But this Xing Fu is Xin Zi's person, Xin Zi used to be so popular in front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and when it was time to leave, the two of them went out to see each other, and their group of errands in the palace could see it clearly, so they naturally didn't dare to act rashly at this moment.

The guard hugged Xing Fu, his face was silent, but his tone was obviously cold, and said, "Does the prince have a holy decree or a decree, or an edict?" ”

Of course Xing Fu didn't. He suddenly felt that the jade wrench pinned to his waist was heavy. If he takes out the wrench now, he is afraid that this guard will not recognize it, but if he hands over the wrench at will and let people help hand it over to the prince, he is not at ease, but apart from this jade wrench, what does he ask these guards to let him go into the palace to see the prince?

After thinking about it like this, he couldn't come up with a solution in the end, and fell into an awkward silence for a while.

Xing Fu was quietly supported by the guards who were guarding, but Yu Guang began to pay attention to the direction of the palace gate, and wondered if he could break in at this moment while he was unprepared, whether he could break through the obstacles in this palace and reach the prince's dormitory - after all, this West by the Forbidden Palace is not as good as the East Plains, although there are guards here, but there is no palace wall to block it, and the situation inside can be seen clearly from the outside, and it is not impossible to break in.

Here Xing Fu quickly figured out how to get out, but the voice of the enthusiastic guard came from his ears.

"What does Childe think of this? I'm going to the prince now to invite the people around him to come over, if you have anything important, just tell them, those people are the prince's personal servants, and they will definitely be able to help you bring the words, and the prince doesn't have to worry about leaking out, these people can be around the prince, they are all very tight-mouthed. ”

Unexpectedly, this guard actually guessed all his thoughts, and carefully thought about himself, Xing Fumu's face flashed with surprise.

He was still not at ease in his heart, after all, Xin Zi's matter was extraordinary, and even whether the prince himself could have the courage to take it down was a matter of two words, let alone the people around him. But he couldn't say that. After all, this guard has no friendship with him, but he is willing to give advice for himself like this, which is really rare, and he categorically did not refute his good intentions.

Thinking like this, Xing Fu could only look at the guard and smile gently, without answering.

The guards only acquiesced to Xing Fu, didn't say a word, bowed their hands, and turned around and went to the palace without waiting for Xing Fu to have a chance to say anything more.

Seeing this, Xing Fu was anxious to catch up, but was stopped by two guards outside the palace gate, and had no choice but to wait in the distance, waiting for the enthusiastic guards to come back and make plans.

The Forbidden Palace in the West is not big, and those who enter from the Shunzhen Gate with a little foot strength only need to walk up to the Sacred Heart Hall with about a cup of tea, and the place that the prince goes to most often on weekdays is the Sacred Heart Palace. The guard really entered the Shunzhen Gate and went straight to the Sacred Heart Temple.

When Banzhu Xiang passed, he saw him leading a half-tall and not thin eunuch out.

This eunuch Xing Fu recognized that he was originally the most powerful of the people who served in front of the prince, named Wang Qing. When the prince was killed before, Xin Zi rushed to the rescue, he was blocked outside the door.

Unexpectedly, in a case like the one before, he, who served closely, was not implicated, this person was either extremely hard in the background, or he was extremely appreciated by the prince or the nobles in the palace.

Just as he was thinking, the guards had already led the eunuch to Xing Fu.

"Grandpa Wang." Without waiting for the guards to introduce him, Xing Fu had already stepped forward and saluted the man.

"Lord Xing."

Wang Qing returned the salute, his demeanor was extremely humble, he didn't have the frame of the big eunuch beside the prince at all, and even respectfully called Xing Fu an adult. Not to mention that Xing Fu is now guilty of sin, even when Tang Yinbrown was alive in the past, he was just an unruly petty official who followed Lord Tang, and he was a member of the Dongyuan Imperial Court, but at this moment, he was honored by the big eunuch beside Prince Xiyou, and the degree of attention can be imagined, even the guards who stood aside and watched their noses and noses couldn't help frowning.

I don't know if he has something in his heart, Xing Fu always felt that the jade wrench that was originally placed on his waist was extremely restless at this time, and even made him a little uncomfortable, as if reminding him that it was time to present the wrench.

Wang Qing has already come to the front, waiting for him to speak with a deferential look, he is a person with the same heart as the prince, and there is no one more suitable to take this wrench than him.

But Xing Fu always had a voice in his heart reminding him that it was not time yet. To be sure, the wrench had to be presented to the prince himself.

So he gritted his teeth and swallowed back the words that came to his lips. (To be continued.) )
