In the quiet night of the deep palace, the cool breeze is like a naughty child looking into the Chaoyang Palace, playing with the candle flame in the golden flower cage. The flames flickered, and the darkness suddenly made Zhao Yan, who was sitting in front of the desk reviewing the folds, look at him, and couldn't help but temporarily close his eyes with a tired expression.

Jiang De was a careful person, and whispered to the little eunuch to quickly cover the doors and windows, and he quickly stepped forward to protect the candle flame in the golden flower cage, and reminded Zhao Yan softly.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time. It's late at night, and you might as well rest early. ”

With soft eyebrows, Zhao Yan, who had eased up, slowly opened his eyes and did not say a word, his hand took the opportunity to look in his arms, and the peach-shaped jade pendant appeared in front of him again. His fingers carefully rubbed the white jade body of the jade pendant, and Zhao Yan's eyes under the candle flame were full of brilliance, and his expression became obsessed.

From the time this jade pendant fell into Zhao Yan's hands, in just half a day, Jiang De remembered that it was the sixth time he had held it to see God. What is it that makes the emperor so obsessed, so close to being obsessed? After repeated deliberation, the sharp-minded Jiang De guessed that this matter was related to the late Concubine Huo Chen.

It's just that what does a piece of jade pendant mean? The more you dig deeper, the more foggy it becomes.

With a heavy sigh, Zhao Yan held the jade pendant tightly in the palm of his hand and asked Jiang De in a stern voice.

"Is there any news from the prison?"

"Back to the emperor, there was a word from the prison that the woman was not worried about her life for the time being, and the imperial doctors used some fierce medicine so she fell into a coma."

His eyes were slightly rippling, and a stern color floated on Zhao Yan's face, and the whole person suddenly straightened up and said in a fierce voice.

"Order someone to prepare, I have to go to the prison to see it in person to rest assured."

"Your Majesty!"

I heard that Zhao Yan wanted to go to the prison late at night. Jiang De knelt down in front of him with a "bang" to dissuade him.

"Please think twice. Now because of this matter, the palace is already full of soldiers, and people are panicking, if the emperor goes to visit the prison at this time. I don't know what turmoil has happened since the meeting. ”

"Jiang De, you have the courage to fatten up, even I dare to stop you!"

The sharp voice suddenly increased a lot, Jiang De buried his head tightly and didn't dare to look at Zhao Yan more, for fear that he would really not dare to say it when he saw Zhao Yan's expression.

The slave didn't dare to stop the emperor, but the woman was still in a coma, and she couldn't wake up for a while, and the emperor couldn't ask anything if he went to the prison. The slave is worried about the emperor's dragon body. There is no disrespect! ”

The body knelt on the ground and became even more humble, Jiang De lowered his head and pressed against the floor tiles, feeling that the whole person was going to be stuffed in. Suddenly, the Chaoyang Hall fell into a dead silence.

"Get up."

The stalemate lasted for a moment, and finally there was a turning point in Zhao Yan's softening words; Jiang De, who was relieved, didn't dare to be slack, and kowtowed three times in a row to thank the saint.

"Slave Xie Emperor is magnanimous!"

"There's some truth to your minion's words. Never mind. I am tired. Hurry up and order someone to prepare some hot water, I want to rest after bathing. ”

Loosening the attachment in his heart, Zhao Yan suddenly felt unprecedented exhaustion, and looked at Jiang De, who was still sticking to his side, his heart inexplicably softened a lot.

"Jiang De, you have also been tossing with me all day, so you don't need to wait here, go down and rest."

"Your Majesty." A tight and loose atmosphere. Jiang De's heart was also warm, and he hurriedly ordered the palace people on duty in the Chaoyang Palace: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and wait for the change! ”

Slow down the slightly heavy footsteps. Zhao Zhenyuan walked slowly to the inner hall, and the departing back was a little lonely against the background of the candlelight.

Although Zhao Yan had permission before, Jiang De still waited for Zhao Yan to go to bed and left Chaoyang Hall with peace of mind. Looking up, the stars are shining in the sky, which seems to indicate that tomorrow will be another good weather.

But at this time, Jiang De didn't seem to be in a good mood, walking on the brightly lit corridor, his always majestic face showed a bit of loneliness.

This palace compound is full of towers and palaces, and it is also like a cold palace everywhere, and the people who live here are destined to be trapped for a lifetime, trapped in no warmth and ruthlessness.

"Mr. Jiang, please stay."

Just as he was in a trance, suddenly a charming woman's voice sounded in the quiet night, stopping Jiang De's steps. Jiang De, who was shocked, looked at the front and back of the corridor several times, but he was even more puzzled, where is the person?! Unconsciously, vigilance suddenly filled my heart.

"Who is sneaking down on the miscellaneous family?! Come out. ”

A stern reprimand once again broke the silence here, only to see a dark shadow flash out from behind the rockery under the cover of the night, and a graceful woman's figure was faintly outlined in the night, which made people feel a little relaxed.

"Xinghu, the female official of Luoxiang Palace, has seen Manager Jiang."

The distance that was close receded into the night that covered the view, and the graceful woman gradually showed her true body, which turned out to be the female official of Luoxiang Palace, Xinghu. Slowing down her guard slightly, Jiang De looked at Xinghu who was blocking the road late at night with suspicion, and couldn't guess her current thoughts.

"It turned out to be the female official Xinghu girl next to the concubine, and the miscellaneous family thought that she had met some bad guys. It's so late, the Star Lake girl is here"

"Naturally, I'm waiting for Mr. Jiang to take care of you." Xinghu smiled sweetly, inexplicably having a sense of confusion, and continued to say what he meant: "The noble concubine Niangniang asked Mr. Jiang to come over the palace for a while. ”

Shocking like an epiphany blooming at night, fleeting, Jiang De suddenly guessed why Xinghu was blocking his way here, it seems that many people in the palace have trouble sleeping tonight because of this matter.

Without shirking, Jiang De smiled faintly and said in a thin voice.

"Then there is Miss Lao Xinghu to lead the way."

"Mr. Jiang, please."

Three quarters of the hour, the prison.

Carefully descending the stone steps to the end, as far as the eye can see, the dark passages that extend in all directions are shrouded in a dark environment, which looks deep and terrifying. The faint charcoal fire burning in the charcoal basin flashed a light blue flame from time to time, tempting the demons and monsters in the heart to rise straight out of the heart; The humid air, coupled with the heat of the day, gave people a suffocating heat, which invisibly urged the already panicked hearts of the people who came.

"Who's coming?! How dare you trespass into the heavens and prisons! ”

At this time, the two jailers guarding the pass found Gong Yihan and Luo Zhiqiu and others who had come to visit the prison, and blocked their way with a pull of their waist knives.

At this time, the two of them did not have much panic, Luo Zhiqiu took the lead in taking a step forward and showed the waist card in his hand.

"I waited for Wang Shaoqing's permission to come to the prison to visit the recidivist hour, please make it convenient for the two adults."

The two jailers looked relaxed, temporarily put away the golden knives facing each other in their hands, and carefully checked Luo Zhiqiu's waist card. After a while, although there was a look of affirmation, it seemed that the two of them did not intend to let go.

"The emperor has repeatedly ordered that woman to be a prisoner; No one can go in and visit without the emperor's permission. Although the two sons have the waist card of Lord Wang, we will never dare to disobey the holy order to let you in, in case something goes wrong, it will be a matter of losing your head. The two sons, please go back! (To be continued......)
