Chapter 4: Three Years Ago

After leaving Ci'an Palace, Xiang Chi sat on the imperial chair carried by eight people, stretched his waist gently, and the queen mother agreed, and the establishment of Jinyiwei should not have many problems.

"Your Majesty, where are you going next?" Wei Zhong, who was following next to him, asked softly.

"Go to Kunning Palace, I have something to tell the queen," Xiang Chi instructed.

"Yes" Wei Zhong nodded, and shouted: "Set up Kunning Palace"

The accompanying guards, palace maids, eunuchs, immediately turned to the direction of Kunning Palace, the imperial city of Dachu is similar to the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, but the scale is much larger, covering an area of more than 5,000 acres, there are more than 9,312 palaces, all of which are glazed tile roofs, blue and white stone bases, and then decorated with brilliant paintings, entering the imperial city, as if entering another small world.

The whole palace is arranged along a north-south central axis, and unfolds to both sides, the north and south are straight, the left and right are symmetrical, the south reaches the Chengtian Gate, the north reaches the drum tower, the bell tower, the spirit is magnificent, and the planning is rigorous, representing the supremacy of the emperor of the Great Chu.

The three main halls at the front of the imperial city are the Fengtian Palace, the Jinluan Palace, and the Baohe Palace. They are all built on a nine-meter-high pedestal made of white marble, the Jinluan Hall is naturally the place of the early dynasty, the Mukden Hall is a place to rest and practice ceremonies before the ceremony, and the Bohol Hall is a place for inviting Chinese martial arts and princes of foreign clans during the annual festival.

The second half of the three halls is the inner court, with the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, the Kunning Palace as the center, the east and west wings are the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace respectively, it is the place where he and the concubine do things on weekdays, and live and live, the second half is different from the first half in the architectural style, rich in the breath of life, mostly self-contained courtyards, there are various pleasure places such as gardens, study, pavilions, mountains and stones.

When he left not long after, Xiang Chi turned his head to look, suddenly frowned slightly, and waved his hand: "Wait a minute"

"Your Majesty, what are your orders" Wei Zhong hurriedly said.

"I remember that the queen said that Yi Guiren lives in this Changxiu Palace," Xiang Chi pointed to the palace next to him and asked softly.

Wei Zhong raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly replied: "Really, it has been less than ten days since the Yi Guiren stayed, because His Majesty has just ascended the throne, the harem concubines are scarce, and the Yi Guiren is the master of Changxiu Palace for the time being, and will be redistributed in the future."

Xiang Chi squeezed his hand slightly, and after stepping down from the chair, he looked at the tall palace in front of him, and muttered with complicated eyes: "How long has it been since I have seen Yi Guiren?"

"Your Majesty, back then, Your Majesty ordered Yi Guiren to stay in the Hidden Mansion and not move into the East Palace, so it's been almost two years," Wei Zhong replied.

"In other words, she has been in the dive mansion alone for almost three years," Xiang Chi said.

"Yes, Your Majesty is merciful, thinking that in front of Yi Guiren's father who loves the people, is honest and upright, and calms the chaos and recklessness, he is canonized as a nobleman, and the queen personally placed the nobleman in Changxiu Palace"

Xiang Chi smiled coldly, "It seems that it has been three years, she is still this stubborn temper, she has been out for ten days, neither come to ask for guilt, nor come to greet her, it seems that letting him enter the imperial city is too wronged by her, does she still want to go back to her Yizhou, the country of abundance?"

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that the noble man has just moved into the imperial city, and he still needs to get used to it" Hearing this, Wei Zhong hurriedly said tactfully.

"Adaptation!! If it weren't for her father's sake, after the death of the first emperor, outside of Yizhou, when the Mang clan was in turmoil, she was stable, rewarded and punished, and kept the border stable, I wouldn't want to see her for a long time, since she was so unwilling, then let her go back to the dive mansion to stay" Xiang Chi waved his hand.

Wei Zhong was startled, and just after being about to answer, suddenly a palace maid rushed out of the Changxiu Palace, but when he saw Xiang Chi, whose face was pale, standing outside, he suddenly turned into a deep panic, and knelt down and said: "Slave and maid knock to see the emperor"

"What kind of system is it in a panic, it's so late, what are you going to do" Seeing that Xiang Chi ignored it, Wei Zhong hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, the nobleman is a little uncomfortable, and the slave is planning to go to the Tai Hospital to get some medicine," the palace maid immediately reported.

"She's still uncomfortable, I still think she's a stone, and the wind and rain won't invade her? I want to see if she is such a persevering person, what makes her unable to hold on" Xiang Chi said coldly, and walked directly inside.

However, after just stepping in, Xiang Chi was indeed stunned, only to see that the Changxiu Palace of Nuoda seemed empty, and there were still many fallen leaves on the ground, no one cleaned them, compared to the queen's group of slaves, this place was like a cold palace.

"Yi Guiren, are you alone to serve?" Xiang Chi frowned at the palace maid who followed.

"Your Majesty, the Inner Court Division has arranged some of them, but they either have something to do here, or they have to be busy there" The palace maid was already crying.

After Xiang Chi was slightly silent, he said coldly: "This is what she brought on herself."

Hearing this, the palace maid finally couldn't help it, and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, what happened three years ago, the noble person was framed"

"Joke," Xiang Chi said disdainfully.

"Your Majesty, the noble man received the letter back then, which is not fake, but it is just some greetings, and there is no offense in the slightest."

"I know, otherwise I would have destroyed the nine clans of that person, even her father should not think about it, it is not a letter that I am angry about, it is her reply" Xiang Chi said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the noble man replied to the letter, but it was by no means the one His Majesty saw, the noble person's letter explained her love and respect for His Majesty, let that cousin, to seek his own happiness, and at the same time, he also instructed that he must not send a letter privately, this will be a disaster for the family, if there is, she will personally hand it over to His Majesty, but I don't know why, the letter sent out to His Majesty's hands, turned into a gentle and complaining love letter" The palace maid cried.

"Her words, I know very well," Xiang Chi said solemnly.

"This slave doesn't know, but the noble man really didn't write, Your Majesty, how favored the noble man was in the Hidden Mansion back then, how can there be any words of homesickness every night, after this happened, His Majesty just wanted to enter the East Palace, within three years, the noble man wanted to see His Majesty countless times, but was blocked back by the guards, it seems that someone is not ready for her to see His Majesty, and finally entered the palace, the noble man did fall on the bed because of the wind and cold, and the Inner Court Division did not allocate silver taels and subordinates to Changxiu Palace at all, and the nobleman's illness is getting worse and worse" The palace maid said sadly.

Xiang Chi's eyes froze, his eyes of the Son of Heaven are indeed very wonderful, but there is also a shortcoming, that is, he can't look at women.

Yilu is the last one to enter the mansion during his subterfuge period, the beauty of the long, gentle and lovely, at that time he just crossed over, has not yet gotten rid of the shadow of the previous life, for such a beauty, naturally cherished, nostalgic night after night, but then he actually found that Yirong and a man outside was communicating, especially the appearance of the love letter, but he was angry with the seven orifices, almost ordered Bai Aya to die, but in the end because there was still a love, so she left her life, and at the same time strictly ordered no one to talk about this matter, violators, never tolerated.

And at this time, the first emperor just let him enter the East Palace and participate in political affairs, so there was no time for him to think about it at that time, after entering the East Palace, he had too many things, and emperors and women emerged in an endless stream, and they were gradually forgotten by him, until Yilu's father, Shu County Taishou Yining stabilized the rebellion between Chu and Mang, Xiang Chi reminded, and in order to appease Yining, who was about to be promoted to Yizhou, and let him work harder and be more loyal to Da Chu, Xiang Chi reluctantly canonized Yilu as a nobleman.

However, now this palace maid doesn't look like he is lying, and he is not the same as he was three years ago, could it be that he really misunderstood back then, or someone made an obstacle from it, changed the letter, and blocked the way.

Looking at the main hall in front of him, Xiang Chi immediately walked over, and at the same time said solemnly to Wei Chong: "Immediately order Ji Chen to arrest all the guards who stayed behind to guard the hidden mansion, I want to see if anyone really dares to deceive me."

"Yes"

"In addition, send the Imperial Doctor over"

"Yes"

After Xiang Chi entered the main hall, he heard a gentle cough, and immediately walked directly to the bedroom next to him.

After slowly lifting the curtain, suddenly a woman with long black hair scattered slightly, and a pale woman with a beautiful face was holding on to the bed pole, preparing to do it herself, when she raised her head slightly, the whole person trembled obviously, and her dim eyes instantly burst with tears.

"Your Majesty!"
