540: Enter the palace
In the middle of the night, Nalan Jinxiu was still asleep and was woken up by the sound of talking outside the door. She got up, put on her coat, put on her boots, and asked, "Who's outside?"
"Sir, the third master, please come into the palace. Long Yi said outside the door.
In the afternoon, Ji Hongye was originally in Wenyuan Pavilion to make an excerpt, but he was announced into the Taiji Hall by the holy decree, and he never came out again.
Long Yi and Ji Xiaobai waited until night, but there was no news coming out, so they visited the Taiji Hall at night. It turned out that Ji Hongye was detained, saying that he was having an affair with a noble person, and he was waiting for the saint to deal with it.
The saint had been resting until he just woke up, and he thought that this incident was true, and he was going to imprison Ji Hongye in Dali Temple. Ji Hongye is the first assistant of the dynasty, and if he wants to be convicted, he must be tried by three divisions. Before the crime was convicted, he could only be imprisoned in Dali Temple.
Nalan Jinxiu frowned when she heard this, and said coldly: "What is the situation now? Why do you want me to enter the palace?"
"Dali Temple is in charge of Lord Shen Qingzheng, he and the third master are not on good terms, if the third master enters there, I am afraid that he will not be able to wait for the trial of the three divisions. ”
"Where is the third master now?"
"Still in the Taiji Palace, Lord Sun and Peng Hou are still in a stalemate with King Xun. ”
"Is there a loophole in the fornication between the third master and the fragrant noble?"
Long Yi looked anxious and respectful: "The subordinates are not very clear. ”
"Did the third master ask you to invite me?"
"Yes. ”
Nalan Jinxiu wants the third brother to be cautious in doing things, since she wants to let her enter the palace, she must have discovered something. She said to Mu Li, "You come and give me a disguise." ”
Mu Li didn't want her to go, she also entered the palace last time, and then she was inexplicably put in prison by the Criminal Department. Then his whereabouts were unknown, and when he found it, he was covered in bruises.
The palace in Jinling is completely different from the Zhenbei palace in northern Xinjiang, where it seems to be cannibalistic. He knew that he couldn't follow, for fear that she would be in danger again, and that experience would not be able for him to bear a second time.
Seeing that he didn't move, Nalan Jinxiu explained: "Don't worry, no one knows that I am Bai Jin, and you will claim to the outside world that I am the doctor who treats the eyes of the third master, and if anyone asks, he will say that he is a herbalist in the rivers and lakes." ”
"But......" Mu Li couldn't rest assured, the palace was full of high-ranking and powerful people, and they all coveted the Shocking Cloud Order in her hand, if someone found out her identity, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Mu Li ......"
"You have to know that if something happens to you, Master Ji won't do his best to save it. The world is far away in the north, and we can't take risks. ”
"There are some things that you can't stop doing just because you know the danger, the third master is already Daning's last hope, he can't do anything. ”
Nalan Jinxiu saw the situation very thoroughly, and now the powerful King Xun and Zong Xuanyi are not auxiliary political talents. He can only pay attention to his own power, and after he gets power, he will only use it to serve himself, and there are no people in his eyes at all.
The family and the country are all over the world, and the people are ...... These things are almost meaningless to Mu Li. He used to have only a task in his eyes, but now he only has her in his eyes.
"I disagree. "His attitude is rare and resolute.
Nalan Jinxiu sighed and said in a consultative tone: "Then you will pretend to be my medicine boy and enter the palace with me." ”
Mu Li's expression softened a little when he heard her say this. He had observed the layout of the palace, and although the Jinyi Guard and the Forbidden Army were very powerful, if he wanted to bring her out, he should be able to.
He turned his head to Long Yi and said, "We can go, but you have to promise me that if we can't come out, you have to take Ji Xiaobai to pick us up." ”
Mu Li can't trust politicians like Ji Hongye, but he can trust Long Yi and Ji Xiaobai. This is a promise that belongs to those who practice martial arts, and they will do what they say.
Long Yi bowed to him with a serious expression: "This time, I won't watch my husband be in danger and ignore it." ”
Long Yi once regretted that he didn't reach out when she needed it. He has been loyal to the third master all his life, but he is also loyal to the righteous word in his heart. This time, if the true identity is revealed, he and Ji Xiaobai will definitely not stand idly by.
After getting his promise, Mu Li began to give Nalan a splendid disguise. Not all people can wear human skin masks, poorly made masks do not stand up to close scrutiny, and people's facial expressions will be stiff.
The human skin mask, which is made of excellent material, requires a unique potion. This potion allows the mask to fit perfectly to the person's face, as if it were their own.
Such a potion has a side effect, which is irritation of the skin. It's okay to use it once or twice once in a while, but it can be disfigured if you use it for a long time. That's why many people can be disguised, but still choose to wear a mask.
When Mu Li was in Jingyun, he had received very systematic training, and his disguise skills were superb, enough to confuse the real with the fake. Under his dress, Nalan Jinxiu soon turned into a middle-aged hunchbacked man with a yellow face and thin muscles, an ugly appearance, and some obscene features.
Mu Li was very satisfied with his work, he felt that the kind of place in the palace that eats people and does not spit out bones is the safest to have an ugly appearance.
Nalan Jinxiu was still worried in her heart, but after seeing herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but smile. She said a little helplessly: "Mu Li, do you want me to make everyone ugly?"
"It's good to be ugly. Mu Li didn't seem to understand her jokes, and replied in a calm voice, with a very serious attitude.
Long Yi watched them from the sidelines, always feeling that their world was self-contained, and the laughter in their eyes was not something he could imagine. And at this moment, the third master is still in danger, he can't laugh at all, but Madame can......
At the beginning, the third master could be a cold sidestander, what qualifications did he have to ask his wife to be anxious. It is already a great favor that people are willing to go into the palace with him to save people! In the final analysis, that letter of repair has long broken off the relationship between the third master and his wife, and it is really a matter of fact.
"You have to clean up for yourself, I guess there has never been a medicine boy like you. Nalan Jinxiu felt that Mu Li's current outfit still looked like a martial arts practitioner.
"Medicine boy?" Mu Li only found the point of her words now, how could he be a seven-foot man?
"Hmm. Nalan Jinxiu looked at his appearance and knew that he didn't like this title, and said, "Assistant, assistant can always be!"
Mu Li could only dress up according to her usual men's clothes and clean herself up. It's just wearing a robe and coat, and it looks like a gentleman. As for the sword he usually held in his arms, he naturally couldn't bring it into the palace.
If you don't have a weapon at hand, it can be fatal to those who practice martial arts. However, a master like Mu Li doesn't care anymore, even if he breaks a branch now, he can be sharper than an ordinary sword.
What's more, the brocade guards and the forbidden army in the palace all have swords, and if he really makes a move at that time, he will grab one and come over. Thinking like this, he put his sword on the table.
Before entering the palace, he had to be searched, and Nalan Jinxiu had been dressed as a man for a long time, and he couldn't see any difference from a man in appearance. When the palace man touched her chest, she was at ease.
However, Mu Li beside him frowned, if it weren't for the overall situation, he would have folded off that person's palm to make a bear paw. However, he saw that the two palace people did not have beards, and knew that these were eunuchs, and they were also born from a bitter background and deserved sympathy, so he didn't hate them in his heart.
The Taiji Hall is the sleeping hall of today's saint, and almost no one has set foot except for the palace maids and eunuchs who serve closely. Occasionally, concubines who have been turned over come to sleep, but no one has ever stayed here.
Emperor Yonglong is not a good woman, and he favors Concubine Liu. This kind of favor was even worse after Liu Guifei gave birth to the prince, Liu Guifei, as the head of the first palace, naturally would not be carried over, and Emperor Yonglong himself went.
To say that this fragrant noble man really has some means. She was not from a high background, and she was only named a female official during the draft, and she was responsible for the registration of books in the library pavilion. But Xiang Guiren has a strength, that is, talent.
Among the many harem women, there is definitely no shortage of beauty. But it is not easy to find someone like her, who is talented, has a likable personality, and has a low background.
The emperor, as the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, is the one with the least freedom in the whole world. Whoever he wants to like and who he wants to pamper, he must take into account the power and the current situation. Xiang Guiren's family can't influence anything, which becomes the reason for her favor.
Emperor Yonglong favored her, her treatment was naturally different, and she did stay in the Taiji Hall tonight. After Ji Hongye was announced, the people who served him naturally wanted to avoid it, including the fragrant nobles.
Later, the palace people heard Xiang Guiren shouting for help, and when they broke in, they saw her disheveled, and Ji Hongye was beside her. The two of them are still pulling, obviously disagreeing.
This kind of thing has not happened in the palace, sometimes it is the prince and the prince, sometimes it is the guard, and sometimes it is simply the eunuch. The palace is the most capable of dealing with this.
Originally, people were locked up first, and then the saint himself sent them down. But most of the people who make this kind of mistake are not powerful, and there is not much consideration for how to deal with it, it all depends on the mind of the saint.
Ji Hongye is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he has a fist in his hand, so it is definitely not so easy to deal with him. Even if the saint expressed his opinion, it still had to be reviewed by the three divisions.
After the incident, King Xun came, and his attitude was very obvious, just to avoid such news from spreading, and to laugh and be generous. He thinks that Ji Hongye is the first assistant, but his character is so corrupt that he is not enough to take on this important responsibility.
The commander of Jinyiwei is the brother of Princess Xun, and King Xun's words will naturally work, and there will be Jinyiwei who wants to arrest Ji Hongye at the moment. The Qianji Battalion is also in the palace, and it is mainly to protect the safety of cabinet members in normal times, and the two parties are naturally deadlocked.
Later, Sun Wenjie and Peng Jing came, the two of them were surprisingly consistent, no matter what, they couldn't listen to the words of the nobles.
Xiang Guiren does not have a strong family support behind her, no matter how talented and knowledgeable she is, she will suffer a loss when talking to eloquent masters like Ji Hongye and Sun Wenjie.
