When I came to the gate of the harem, the waiter stopped!

But an old palace maid came out, and after a few words of negotiation with the chamberlain, the chamberlain left.

The old palace maid greeted Lu Xunyi, her eyes first looked at Lu Xunyi with a little caution, and looked at Lu Xunyi for a long time.

Especially stared at his bloodstained clothes, but finally didn't say anything, raised his head and asked, "Each is Mr. Lu from the Ming Palace?" ”

"I don't dare to be called Mr. Mama, I am looking for righteousness in Xialu, but I am just a small general in the Ming Palace." No longer as obvious as when he was on the Golden Palace before, Lu Xunyi obviously restrained his momentum when he came here, and in the face of this palace maid, he also bowed down to show his respect.

Seeing his posture, the old palace maid was slightly stunned.

Today's noon on Mingfu Street, she has been clear, the situation in the hall just now, other Niangniang palaces may not know for the time being, but the queen knows it.

The momentum of this person, the courage of seeing the mountains as nothing, and even the envoys of the flag country competing against each other, is really shocking.

But at this time, after seeing it with his own eyes, he found that this person was not sharp, but his attitude was respectful and not like a grandmaster.

was a little surprised, his eyes turned slightly, and he returned the salute and said, "Mr. Lu, the queen wants to see you!" ”

Sure enough, it's the queen!

Lu Xunyi's face was straight, but he looked down at the clothes on his body, and said: "Mama, I am in a hurry to come down, and I don't know if I want to see my mother, I haven't sorted out my clothes before, you see how this is good......"

As he spoke, he was tidying up his clothes with his hands, but his body had already been scratched by the sword light, and the blood stains everywhere had not dried up, so no matter how he sorted them, there was no way to really hide the traces.

When the old palace maid saw his appearance, her eyes were slightly paused, and she glanced at Lu Xunyi again before she spoke: "If Mr. doesn't mind, how about the old slave let you take you to change into a neat and tidy shirt and come over?" ”

"If that's the case, that's great, trouble Mama!" Lu Xunyi immediately nodded in response.

Soon, someone from the palace took him away.

Of course, it was impossible to change clothes in the queen's palace, so I went to an empty palace, freshened up, and then changed into civilian clothes, and then re-entered the palace under the leadership of the old palace maid.

Lu Xunyi bowed his head slightly all the way, but his eyes were not idle, and he secretly observed.

I can see that the dust in this palace is not clean, the carved railings are all available, the flowers and plants are also fresh, and every other section, you can see the inner servants and palace maids walking around.

He judged in his heart, depending on the situation, the queen's situation in the palace should be fine.

It's not as worried as the sixth master fears.

Entering Beijing this time to find out about the queen's recent situation is also one of Lu Xunyi's important responsibilities!

Since Mo Bai secretly walked the pearl and his brother died, Mo Bai has always been worried about the queen, after all, he can't show up, the prince is dead again, and the queen's knees are equivalent to being cut off.

The blow of the pain of losing a child, even the mother of a country, cannot easily bear it.

And the queen herself is sick, and she doesn't know what to do?

For so many years, Mo Bai has always arranged for someone to investigate, but the queen is in the harem, and there has been almost no news for many years, but there is news that there is a concubine Lan who has won the holy favor alone.

Mo Bai didn't care who Concubine Lan was, and no matter how favored he was, he was only worried that in this complex harem where mothers and sons are expensive, after a child has no heirs to rely on, and the emperor has another favorite concubine, what kind of life will the queen live in this long deep palace?

Lu Xunyi originally agreed with the sixth master's worries, but seeing this environment at this time, he felt that at least, the queen should have a stable position in this palace and not be treated slowly!

Along the way, after a short time, I have entered a main hall.

"Niangniang, Mr. Lu is here!" The old palace maid stopped at the door, first signaled to Lu Xunyi, and then asked for instructions in the hall.

Lu Xunyi could sense that there was a person sitting on the top in the hall, and his eyes were looking towards him, but he did not look up at random, but bowed his head, waiting for the summons.

"Coming? Then let him in! The person inside did not speak immediately, but paused slightly before slowly speaking.

The voice was quite calm, but Lu Xunyi, as a grandmaster, could still hear the trace of trill.

"Mr. Lu, please!" The old palace maid spoke.

Lu Xunyi raised his feet and entered, but he still didn't raise his head, until he walked three meters away from the people in the hall, he stopped his steps and bowed properly: "Lu Xunyi greets the queen, Jin'an!" ”

The sound of three heads falling to the ground!

The old palace maid beside him was suddenly stunned, and then there were big waves in her eyes, and she was really shocked.

The queen was okay, she didn't seem to think much about whether the grandmaster was not a grandmaster, and just said softly: "No need to be polite, get up!" ”

"Xie Niangniang!" Lu Xunyi got up and looked up at the queen in front of him for the first time.

The queen is dressed in a wind robe and a phoenix hairpin, although she is also middle-aged, her face can still be seen in her former style.

What he observes naturally is not the queen's appearance, but the queen's temperament and mental state.

At a cursory glance, it's not bad, the queen's temperament looks peaceful.

To be honest, in Lu Xunyi's opinion, he couldn't even feel the noble temperament and sense of oppression of the nobles in this deep palace from the queen.

At this time, her eyes were slightly red, the hand on the table next to her was trembling slightly, and a pair of phoenix eyes were staring at her, obviously flickering with mood swings.

Lu Xunyi didn't dare to look at him, but he understood in his heart, and it was normal for the queen to be excited when she heard the news of King Ming.

At first sight, he didn't see anything unusual about the queen, but if Mo Bai was here, he would definitely find out that something was wrong at the first time.

I still remember that when Mo Bai first entered the palace, the queen's face was so young that he was surprised, where is the appearance of people who are now middle-aged?

In those days, even if the queen sat silently, but the nobility revealed by a look could be convincing, but now there is no light on the body, sitting there, if it is not for the thoughtfulness, there are still emotions in the eyes, I am afraid it is like sitting in a quiet thousand-year-old temple, a hundred years of silent Buddhism.

"Sir, the emperor really ......" The queen looked at Lu Xunyi and spoke, but stopped halfway through the words.

Lu Xunyi knew what she wanted to ask, her eyes raised, and her face solemnly confirmed: "Niangniang, rest assured, Your Highness is safe and sound, when you come, Your Highness has explained that if you have the opportunity to be summoned by the queen, I will hand over the token to you, and you can know that he is well." ”

"What's that?" When the queen heard this, her eyelids twitched, and she immediately asked.

The old palace maid's eyes also moved, and thousands of people said that the king was still alive, but the queen's heart had never been at peace.

As long as she didn't see each other for a day, she couldn't feel at ease.

In front of the two of them, Lu Xunyi took out a purse and an envelope from his pocket and presented them: "Your Highness said that this is the purse you took away when he came back, and you gave him the purse before leaving......

"Niangniang, this, this is His Royal Highness......"

"Mama, bring it to me quickly, quickly!"

Seeing the purse, the faces of the queen and the old palace maid immediately became excited, especially the queen, who was even more red and cried on the spot when she saw the purse.

The old palace maid hurriedly took it from Lu Xunyi's hand, holding the purse, she couldn't help but believe that she remembered that night, she handed it to Mo Bai with her own hands.

It's just that even if he was excited at this time, he still didn't relax his vigilance, held the purse, first shook it hard, checked the hidden weapon without a mechanism, and then baked it slightly on the purse.

Even if the poison is hidden, it is difficult to hurt people instantly, and then it is handed to the queen.

Lu Xunyi noticed her movements, but he didn't say anything, caution should be.

The queen held the purse, looked at it with tears for a long time, and said: "Mama, it's the emperor, it must be the emperor!" ”

"Yes, Niangniang, Your Highness must be fine!" The old palace maid nodded comfortingly.

Lu Xunyi raised the envelope in his hand again: "Niangniang, Your Highness also brought a letter!" ”

Hearing this, the queen held the purse in her hand and refused to let go, her eyes looked at the envelope in Lu Xunyi's hand, and obviously looked at the letter with apprehension and hope: "It was written by the emperor himself?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness said, Niang Niang will be able to read his handwriting!" Lu Xunyi nodded.

"I know, I know, the emperor even prescribed medicine to me back then......" The queen nodded and kept saying.

The old lady took the letter, and as soon as she started it, she felt heavy.

There was a slight movement in his eyes, it seemed that there was a lot of content in this letter, and his heart was a little more relaxed, it seemed that King Ming was attentive.

I hope that after reading it, I can be happier.

After checking that it was correct, he handed it to the queen, opened the envelope and put wax pills on it, and sure enough, there were no less than ten pieces of letter paper, which showed the length of this letter.

The queen's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, but her eyes quickly looked at the handwriting on the first sheet, and after just one glance, she raised her head and burst into tears: "Mama, it's the emperor's handwriting, that's right, you can see it, you can also see it......"

The old palace maid didn't take it, only took a closer look, then nodded and said: "Yes, it must be His Highness's words, His Highness's words are unique in the world, unique, and very special." ”

When the queen heard this, she took a deep breath and looked down at the letter in her hand.

I don't know what was written in the letter, but the old palace maid and Lu Xunyi both saw the queen, and at the beginning, the tears were even more fierce, and the trembling in their hands increased, but gradually, the tears stopped.

She read very slowly, ten pages of stationery, she seemed to be staring at each one for a long time, and when she saw the back, she didn't cry anymore, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hang a curvature.

When she finished reading the last page, she began to feel a little sluggish, the letter in her hand, but her thoughts drifted somewhere.

The old palace maid didn't bother her, and Lu Xunyi didn't dare.

After a long while, the queen came to her senses, looked down at the letter again, but this time there were tears in her eyes again, and finally sighed softly: "Silly child, as long as you are well, as long as you come back to the queen mother, the queen mother does not ask for anything else......"

"Niangniang, Mr. Lu has always been by His Royal Highness's side, don't you know about His Highness's current situation?" Seeing that it was not early, the old palace maid finally reminded her.

The queen raised her eyes and looked at Lu Xunyi again, but she seemed to come to her senses: "Huh? Mama, why don't you invite Mr. Lu to sit down! ”

Lu Xunyi immediately bowed: "Niangniang, in front of you, you don't dare to sit on a lowly position, just stand on a lowly position,"

"You are a generation of grandmasters, here for me, even if you are given to sit in the Golden Palace, what can't you sit?" When the queen said this, a smile appeared on her face and said: "You have been by the emperor's side for many years, and the emperor has said everything about your situation, but he doesn't treat you as an outsider, but he can't be too casual, he is still young, presumably on weekdays, there are many rudenesses in handling things, please bear with me!" ”

Lu Xunyi had a straight face, and immediately bowed down: "Niangniang, although the lowly position is cultivated as a teacher, but it is only a minister in the Ming Palace, Niangniang is the mother of His Royal Highness, if the humble position is cultivated by the grandmaster in front of Niangniang, is it not a retainer and a master?" What's more, the humble position has this kind of creation today, and it is also given by His Royal Highness, today I don't say that the humble position is just a mere grandmaster's cultivation, it is a real realm, and I don't dare to ask for a seat in front of my mother! ”

Before the queen heard this, the old palace maid sighed in her heart, these words were so similar to her thoughts.

However, this also reminded her of King Ming back then, she was different from the queen, she was originally a member of the queen's family, and she watched the queen grow up and had family affection, so she could maintain this relationship in this life.

But back then, King Ming, a gentleman boy, wanted to do this step, and she knew how difficult it was to make a martial arts master who had cultivated to the peerless level surrender like this, at least except for the queen, I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who can let her treat her like this.

"It's really a blessing for the emperor to have Mr. Lu by his side!" The queen sighed softly.

Lu Xunyi shook his head slightly: "I don't dare to be the queen's praise, I am humble and shallow, and I can be honored by His Royal Highness and not give up, but I just followed His Highness earlier. ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen and the old palace maid glanced at each other instantly, and they could see the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

The queen was silent, but in the end she didn't ask specifically, but said: "Mr. Lu, the emperor's letter probably explained the situation over the years, and I know that he is still well, and I am already very fortunate in my heart." The child is older, and he has his own way to go, so I won't inquire about other things, but there is one thing, but it is in my heart, I wonder if Mr. Lu can solve my doubts? ”

When the old palace maid heard this, her eyelids jumped.

And Lu Xunyi chuckled even more in his heart, and sure enough, in the end, he couldn't escape this question, and said stubbornly: "Niangniang, please ask, the humble position must know everything, and the words are endless!" ”

The queen was silent for a long time before she finally spoke: "Why did my son secretly leave Beijing back then, and why has there been no news for so many years?" ”

"Back then, when His Royal Highness left Beijing, he was ambushed by a Taoist master, although His Highness finally escaped from danger, but he was injured a little, and his body was fine, but his memory was wrong, for a long time, he forgot everything before, and it wasn't until not long ago that he recovered......" Lu Xunyi bowed his head and said.

The old palace maid pouted, this is knowing everything, saying everything?

He forgot everything, so how can he remember his medical skills?

And he forgot, did you also forget?

Didn't you follow him all the time? I don't know if I told him that he was the king of Ming? At that time, Mingzhu was still from the national dynasty, and you didn't know to take him to the government?

This reason is really unreasonable, but if you insist on saying it, you can't help it.

"Really?" When the queen heard this, she was silent for a while, and finally asked again.

Lu Xunyi felt some hot pain on his body, it was sweat flowing on the wound, he lowered his head: "Yes, Your Highness...... That's what it says! ”

The old palace maid also bowed her head.

The queen was silent again, and finally nodded: "I see!" ”

After speaking, he looked at the sky, and said to Lu Xunyi: "I heard the emperor say, you will stay in Beijing until the next year, I will give you a brand, if there is anything, you can come to the palace at any time to find me!" ”

"Xie Niangniang!" Lu Xunyi knew that he had sent off the guest, but he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the queen to ask more.

The same is true of the old palace maid!

Before leaving, Lu Xunyi asked: "Niangniang, Your Highness also asked me to ask you, I don't know how your leg disease is now?" ”

Speaking of this old palace maid, her eyes tightened, but the queen had already opened her mouth and smiled: "It's no big deal, thanks to the fact that the emperor left a prescription back then, I don't want to, even the diseases that have not been cured by many imperial doctors in the palace, but the emperor has a way." ”

……………………

……

came out of the queen's palace, but Lu Xunyi frowned.

"According to His Royal Highness, he left a prescription back then, and if he took the medicine according to the prescription, the queen would be cured in less than half a year, but the queen said that it was no big deal!"

"And the old palace maid just now obviously had a different complexion, she was about to send me out, but the queen stopped her and sent someone else to send me ......"

"From the time I entered the door to the time I came out, I never saw the queen get up, this ......"

"It shouldn't be, if the queen's leg has not recovered, why should she brute me? Explain the symptoms and let King Ming open it again, isn't it a good thing to be able to step up the cure? Could it be that I was worried about King Ming's thoughts, or maybe I was thinking too much, the queen was indeed well for her leg. ”

"That's it, the queen should summon me again, and next time I come over to find the old palace maid."

Lu Xunyi was already acting as a think tank in the Ming Palace, and before he finally left, he noticed some abnormalities, but it was difficult to figure it out, but this matter was not in a hurry for a while, as long as he could see the queen, this could always be figured out.

At this time, he was carrying a package, and feeling the weight of the package, his face darkened again.

These are some precious things given by the queen just now, not for him, but for the third junior brother.

This is the queen's pension, and she once said that she had to give some compensation to the family members left by the third junior brother.

The third junior brother has indeed become a family, but in fact there is no shortage of money, he is gone, and the Ming Wangfu will not let the widow suffer, but he can only accept what the queen gives.

Looking up at the slightly dim sky, a hint of softness flashed in his eyes.

Maybe soon, his wife and children, who only got married two years ago, will also receive such a pension, can they live in peace?

Thinking of Mingzhu's dark world, the softness in his eyes gradually faded, and his heart was iron-blooded again, this world, if you don't step out of the blue sky, how can you keep peace even if you have money?

The road still has to go on.

"Grandmaster, please!" The chamberlain spoke.

Lu Xunyi looked at this quiet yamen, he stood at the door, not surprised at all.

Naturally, the dynasty would not let go of looking for him to learn about King Ming.

"Good!" It didn't seem to be in the Queen's Palace, his waist was erected again.

A small office, with a simple tone, and in the dim light, a slightly pale figure was standing behind a desk.

"It turned out to be Lord Zhang, I haven't seen him for many years, but I'm fine!" Lu Xunyi looked at that face, but he was not the slightest surprised.

It was clear that he had known him for a long time and knew his duty.

"We've met?" Zhang Bangli smiled slightly.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be on the rainy night when King Ming left Beijing, I had the honor to meet the adult, and the adult was still a big man standing in the sun, at that time, I am afraid you will not pay attention to me and other nobodies." Lu Xunyi walked in and seemed to sigh with emotion.

"Oh? There were a lot of people that night, but if it had been me, I would have remembered that you were one of those people who never showed up. Zhang Bangli stretched out his hand and signaled: "Master Grandmaster, please take a seat!" ”

"Yes, I did hide my head and tail back then, and I didn't dare to show my true face, otherwise how could I stand in front of you alive, I'm afraid I would have died at your hands, right?" Lu Xunyi nodded and sat down, and said softly.

"But it was a very good chance, I didn't expect that the outlaws in the slums of the capital back then have become a generation of martial arts masters today, admired by the world, Zhang admires, admires!" Zhang Bangli complimented him, and then returned to sit down opposite Lu Xunyi.

Lu Xunyi smiled: "Grandmaster? My junior brother is also a grandmaster, and his cultivation is still above me, but what about now? In fact, there is no difference, whether it is a grandmaster or a poor person, it is the same as back then, it is still a martial artist who dies at any time, there is no difference, but Lord Zhang really had a very good chance, I didn't expect that after experiencing the old things, not only did you not get convicted, but the tide rose, which really made Lu admire! ”

In the end, the corners of Zhang Bangli's mouth twitched, and he said slowly: "Zhang is also dedicated to the country, but he was guilty back then, relying on His Majesty's blowing, give me the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, in this life, I only hope to be able to die with all my might, and I will be satisfied with the sins of the year." ”

Lu Xunyi's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't want to, this Zhang Bangli is indeed very responsible, today's King Ming, the ministers of the world are jealous, this person is willing to confess his guilt and carry the black pot for His Majesty, it is really not easy.

However, this does not mean that Lu Xunyi will give him a good face, as King Ming said, Zhang Bangli is not suitable to accompany His Majesty, he is too conservative and timid, and now in troubled times, only one punch can become heaven and earth.

The voice was a little colder: "I'm afraid it's difficult, Your Highness's daughter's body, and the best in the world, don't say the younger generation, all the heroes in the world, I'm afraid there are few people who can be compared with it, such a hero, if he was killed back then, but I don't know, now the pearl people who are in pain, can Lord Zhang give them the backbone and hope to live." ”

Zhang Bangli's face darkened.

Lu Xunyi continued: "If you can't, I'm afraid that Lord Zhang can only cover his ears and steal the bell to comfort himself." ”

Zhang Bangli held the chair with his hand and didn't make a sound for a long time, but he was not a mortal in the end, so stimulating, he still endured it, although his heart was really aggrieved.

The events of the year have become a knot in his heart, and the biggest stain in this life is this, no one will be in front of him on weekdays, but at this moment, he is so bluntly sarcastic, how can he not feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, Master Grandmaster, let's leave the old days for later, let's get down to business first?" Zhang Bangli lowered his head and took out a pen and paper.

Lu Xunyi smiled: "Lord Zhang claims to be in control of the world's intelligence, presumably everything that should be known knows almost everything, okay, see if there is anything else I need to add, I'll talk about it." ”

"That night, who were the soldiers and horses disguised as the Youth Club?" Zhang Bangli smiled, and then said coldly.

The first question made Lu Xunyi's eyes shrink suddenly, but his face was not different: "Lord Zhang, I'm afraid you really think highly of me." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Bangli frowned.

"I said it to you but you don't believe it, I'm just a martial artist in the Ming Palace, like my junior brother who just died, I may die on the battlefield at any time, how can I know about such a big thing as you asked?" Lu Xunyi said lightly.

Zhang Bangli didn't believe it: "Your senior brothers have followed King Ming out of Beijing back then, and your senior brothers have been cultivated by the Ming Palace's Mansion and achieved the realm of grandmasters, Mr. Lu, do you want to tell Zhang that you are just a pawn and don't know anything?" I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Your Majesty! “

"Oh? Lord Zhang, after all, you are in charge of the world's intelligence, I don't want to embarrass you in person, but it doesn't work if you don't say it, okay, that's not okay, Lord Zhang, I'm afraid you're really wrong, in your eyes, the grandmaster seems to be very great, but to be honest, in our Ming Wangfu, the grandmaster is really nothing? I'm afraid you don't believe it, even the chef who cooks for King Ming is a grandmaster! Lu Xunyi's face was even lighter.

"Boom!" Zhang Bangli was about to pour tea with a teacup, when he heard this, there was a bang, and the teacup fell on the table: "Cook, cook?" ”

"Well, cook!" Lu Xunyi nodded: "In the Ming Palace, the grandmaster is this status!" ”
