In the evening, the hustle and bustle of the streets of the capital ceased to be daylight, and Ruyi silently shrank in the corner of the car, anxiously heading towards the palace.

The evening breeze was slightly cool, and the newly changed summer clothes couldn't stop the cold, and Ruyi couldn't help but shiver a few times.

Lord Lu's title was there, and even if the princess wanted to ask for the crime, she still sat in the car and slowly drove towards an unknown palace.

Lu Ziqian was not by her side. At this time, Ruyi misses the sense of security when Lu Ziqian was by his side. Now that a person is facing the supreme imperial power of this dynasty, Ruyi can't help but feel fear.

What if the princess wants to kill her? The Lu family has lost power, who in this capital can help her?

Hu Yu has worked hard, but she was still summoned into the palace by a decree from the Queen Mother, such a royal scandal, Ruyi is not willing to involve Tang Qianqian.

She wants to go to this Hongmen banquet alone, not only to protect herself, but also not to let Lu Ziqian be affected.

The car entered through a small corner gate next to the east gate of the imperial city, without alarming anyone.

Ruyi heard the sound of the swords of the guards at the door, and then there was silence. The carriage seemed to move forward aimlessly, and Ruyi's heart gradually sank to the bottom with the swaying carriage.

The imperial city is located in the center of the capital, covering an area of more than 70 hectares, and there are countless palace buildings.

At this time, the sun was setting, Ruyi was hungry and tired, but the car was walking unhurriedly, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry to reach his destination at all.

There is a curfew in the imperial city, and when the lantern is held, the eunuchs and palace maids are not allowed to move around, and there are only guards or maids on duty everywhere along the way, and there is no sound quietly.

I don't know how long I walked, Ruyi only felt cold, cold and hungry, and the carriage finally stopped.

The curtain of the car was unceremoniously lifted, and one hand ripped Ruyi off the car and pushed it to the side.

Ruyi didn't react for a while, she was pushed and staggered, and Chun Tao, who had been walking with the car, hurriedly helped her and scolded the owner of that hand, "Why are you so rude? What should I do if I hurt my grandmother?! ”

The people on the side of the carriage slowly straightened their clothes, and then turned around and sneered at the two, "Rude? Little girl, this is the palace, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Lu family? Hmph, what is it, let alone ......"

The man stopped talking abruptly. Ruyi froze and looked up.

The one who spoke was a fifty-year-old grandmother, wearing a gown with pinched gold thread, her gray hair pulled up high, and the whole person looked very sharp.

It was getting late, and Ruyi couldn't see the grandmother's expression clearly, but now that she was in the palace, she had to make compromises.

So Ruyi stretched out his hand to stop Chun Tao, who was about to argue, and said politely to the grandmother, "Mama, don't worry about this girl, I apologize to you for her." Excuse me, what kind of place is this? ”

The grandmother didn't appreciate it at all, swept Ruyi coldly, ignored her question, turned around and left, "Follow me, don't look indiscriminately!" Then he turned and left.

Ruyi pulled Chun Tao and followed silently.

The sound of bangzi came faintly, mixed with the intermittent voice of the night patrol eunuch, "The sky is dry and dry, be careful of the fire candle - the sky is dry - the matter is dry - be careful - the pillar of fire-"

Mama led the master and servant through the corridors, and the little maids standing by the door opened the curtains in a regular manner, not moving at all.

Finally, in front of a brightly lit hall, the eunuch holding the dust in his hand screamed, "Grandma Lu Family--to-"

Accustomed to the dim light of the lantern, Ruyi was dazzled by the bright lights in the hall, and subconsciously raised his arm to block it.

The grandmother who led the way kicked Ruyi's leg violently, "Bold, don't you kneel down when you see the Queen Mother?!" ”

Ruyi was caught off guard and fell to the ground, hurting his knees.
