Chapter 217: Entering the Palace
"Yinhua, come on!"
"Your Highness......" Yinhua hesitated.
"I ordered you to come up, what are you afraid of?" Zhu Zhiling smiled, smiling very brightly.
Yinhua jumped as she said and crouched behind Zhu Zhiling, her small figure extremely inconspicuous. From a distance, it was almost impossible to see two men on horseback.
"Let's go! Go to Yong Kinmen! ”
The tower of the Yongjin Gate was empty.
It stands to reason that there should be a guard on duty above the city tower, but no, only a huge figure stood at the gate of the city tower.
Two pear flower guns on the back, a hairpin with tiger thorns on the head, white feathers and white armor, immovable.
The figure stood alone in front of the door, staring intently into the distance.
In the silence of the night, she faintly heard some shouts, and after a while, she could see some faint firelight in the distance, as if there were many people with torches.
The ugly time has passed, and when it is the time of yin.
As the old saying goes: Yin dreams are too evil to sleep.
Not to mention such a sleepless night.
Soon, a white horse galloped in. Tiehua suddenly felt that her right shoulder sank slightly, and the silver flower had landed firmly on it.
It was Zhu Zhiling right away, with golden armor, golden helmet and golden crown, holding a three-foot Shangfang Qingfeng sword, very powerful.
"Tiehua greets His Highness!"
Zhu Zhiling stopped his horse, looked around, and was a little surprised to find that there was no one.
“…… Did you transfer all the guards of the tower? ”
"Exactly."
Zhu Zhiling smiled, sure enough, he has been a master and servant for many years, and he has won his heart.
"Then come to the Yi Palace......
"For fear of disturbing the palace, there are still some guards left, which are not worth mentioning."
"Good!" Zhu Zhiling's eyes were quite appreciative: "Listen to my orders, three hundred people out of a thousand people will guard the gates of the palaces such as Qingwu, Qinglian, Qinghui, Qinghe, Qingcui, Qingjiu, etc., no matter who includes the royal family, they will all close the palace and guard themselves, and they will not be allowed to go out without my order." Two hundred people are guarding this Yongjin Gate, and none of them will be allowed to pass except me! The remaining 500 people, come with me to the Yi Palace! ”
"Yes!" After Tiehua listened to the order, he immediately divided the 1,000 people into three groups on the spot, and everything was in order.
Zhu Zhiling immediately looked at the bright fire in front of him, crowded with people, and secretly thought: Mother, don't blame me!
The army of 500 people is not much, but it is also impassable to crowd on the bluestone avenue leading to Laiyi Palace for a while.
Yongjinmen, the precept that non-royal families are not allowed to enter for a hundred years, has disintegrated with the moonlight overnight in the sound of many neat and hurried footsteps.
The palace maids in front of the palace were silently guarding outside the Dingxiang Palace, and suddenly saw the menacing soldiers entering with swords, and they were frightened and panicked.
"Pass my order, all the idle people in the Yi Palace will be detained in the side hall and not released."
For a while, there was a noise outside the Dingxiang Palace, and the palace maids fled in all directions screaming, leaving only no one in front of the palace gate.
Tiehua helped Zhu Zhiling get off the horse, and shouted: "Come forward and defend!" ”
Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers stood guard on both sides of the temple gate with their bright spears.
Zhu Zhiling took a deep breath and personally stretched out his hand to push open the heavy hall door.
The hall was dim and dark, and a wisp of golden incense came silently, somehow, the golden wisp incense tonight was extraordinarily strong, and even made people feel a little sullen.
There were a few low coughs in the hall, weak and weak.
Mother, you are indeed old.
Your daughter has come to the Yi Palace in her hand, but you can only lie in this square inch to survive.
Zhu Zhiling suddenly felt a trace of compassion.
It wasn't like that when my mother was young.
She is healthy, beautiful, resourceful, and observant.
Those hatreds aside, in the years she served as a supervisor and in the first few years after her ascension, as a ruler, she was worthy of the word perfect.
Yet she is still old.
Whether she is physically or mentally, she does not hesitate to let herself grow old.
She seems to think that time flies too slowly, and she lives a life of ignoring the world day after day, and she doesn't want to cause a little ripple.
"The Mother." Zhu Zhiling tried her best to call calmly.
"You're here." There was a calm voice behind the palace curtain, "It's so late, but there is something to play?" ”
"Yes, there is something urgent to play, and I ask the mother to remove the curtain."
The palace curtain was silent for a moment.
"I want to know, are you here tonight as a daughter, or as a courtier?"
Zhu Zhiling smiled slightly: "What does Mother think? ”
"If you come here late at night as a daughter to come to the Yi Palace and disturb the quiet, you are unfilial. If you break into the palace as a courtier, wearing heavy armor and holding a sharp blade, it is a serious crime. If it's the former, it's just a few words of reprimand for you to go back to the palace and face the wall. If it's the latter......"
When Emperor Ming spoke, Zhu Zhiling listened to every word with bated breath and contemplation, but she didn't hear a trace of fear, and there was not even a trace of panic between her words.
Worthy of a mother.
Emperor Ming's voice sounded again.
"You don't have to listen to me with mindfulness, do you think why you are surrounded by people who come to the palace, but I am not afraid at all, do you?"
Zhu Zhiling was stunned, her mother was really sharp.
"Why should I be afraid? I don't have a dark position, I don't have a left and right source, and I don't have those thoughts that are inconsistent with what is on the outside. ”
Zhu Zhiling couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, although it was just a few simple words, she seemed to hit what she had done.
Don't...... Don't! Emperor Wen had already taken the lead and told his mother everything?
That's impossible.
No matter how fast Emperor Wen is, he has to wait for himself to get rid of Mu Yunzuo in Hanjiang before he dares to turn his face, and it is impossible to preempt him.
Mother must be bluffing!
"Mother Emperor, you have been suspicious and worried in your daily life, but now that you are weak and weak, you must recuperate well, and you should not say these heart-wrenching words."
"Suspicious and suspicious...... You really dare to say what is in your heart tonight, you must know that you don't dare to do this on weekdays. ”
Having arrived at such a field, my mother has not forgotten the majesty of being a monarch.
Zhu Zhiling chuckled.
"Now that I don't dare, I dare, how does the mother plan to punish me?" There was a playful provocation in the tone.
"How to punish you? It's up to you what you want to do. ”
"The mother is old, and she has always been troubled by state affairs for many years, and her daughter wants to respect her filial piety, so that the mother can live in her old age without distractions." Zhu Zhiling looked around the hall and said: "If the mother emperor is used to living here and is reluctant to come to the Yi Palace, the daughter will give it to the mother emperor, and it is okay to still live in the Fuxing platform." ”
Behind the heavy curtains, a burst of violent laughter suddenly erupted.
"Hahahaha, give it to me? How? When did this come to the Yi Palace, when did it become your thing? ”
