Cautiously continuing to walk up, passing by the dormitory, Ye Cheng turned his head to observe the ten soldiers standing at the door. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The soldier stood straight, his eyes looking straight ahead, and when Ye Cheng and the soldier met each other, he would have the illusion that the soldier was staring at him, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

But don't be afraid, that's just an illusion.

The ten soldiers paid no attention to the people walking on the mountain road around the mountain, and were only interested in those who wanted to enter the dormitory.

Now the door of the dormitory embedded in the cliff wall is closed, and Ye Cheng can't observe any information, so he can only continue to walk up.

Go up again.

Suddenly, a one-story palace-like building appeared in front of him, blocking the way.

The building occupies the mountain road around the mountain, and there are four large red columns in front of the door against the eaves of the house. The doors and windows of the building are all red, and there are white pieces of paper pasted on the lattices of the windows, which will break if touched by water.

On the building, only a piece of eaves slanted down from the door can be seen, and nothing can be seen from the back.

Because the building completely blocked the way, you had to pass through the gate if you wanted to pass through, but now the gate was closed, and two men in white robes stood on the left and right. The man crossed his hands behind his back, his expression was serious, giving people an unfamiliar sense of cold.

Ye Cheng stopped advancing, looked at the building and asked, "Cao Rou, what is the building in front?" ”

Cao Rou looked ahead with a solemn expression, pondered for a while, and said, "That's the Emperor's Road, a closed corridor on all sides. Through the Imperial Road, it is the place where the orthodox royal family lives....."

Where does the Orthodox royal family live?

These words made Ye Cheng a little surprised, if it was where the orthodox royal family lived, then why didn't the two orthodox royal families, Emperor Taishang and Cao Rou, live on it?

But soon he also figured out that the so-called change of dynasty, now that the unorthodox royal family is in charge, it is natural that the orthodox royal family will be excluded in various ways, and it is normal to be squeezed out of the original place of residence.

But there is one thing that Ye Cheng doesn't quite understand.

When I met the Emperor Taishang before, judging from the Emperor's words and the well in the room, it seems that the Emperor Taishang lived there a long time ago, and was not relegated there.

Ye Cheng shook his head slightly, and said in his heart, "Now is not the time to think about this, now should you think about how to save people"

Then he looked at Cao Rou and asked, "Then how are we going to get over now?" ”

"Now that the princess status is restricted, we can find someone to report it and go up," Bai Fang explained as he walked forward.

Cao Rou also followed.

The two people walked away one after another, and Ye Cheng also hurriedly followed Cao Rou's side.

Come to the front of the building.

With the majesty of a general, Bai Fang said, "Now the princess is going to come forward, you go and report it"

When the four soldiers saw the white square of more than two meters, they all looked up with a little fear on their faces.

The soldier in front of Baifang said with some hesitation, "You wait here, I will report this," and then he immediately turned around and opened the door and walked inside.

Ye Cheng looked inside through the crack in the open door, and was suddenly a little surprised!

Because the inside was closed on all sides, the light would be very dim, but now I saw that the inside was indeed red, like the bright light from an oil lamp illuminating the passage.

The soldiers walked for more than a minute to reach the end, and when the door at the end was opened, the strong sunlight shone obliquely into the passage.

"This passage is so long!" Ye Cheng said secretly in his heart.

Soon the soldier trotted all the way back, opened the door completely, and then stood on the door and said respectfully to Cao Rou, "Princess, please come in"

Cao Rou walked in solemnly, followed by Ye Cheng and Bai Fang.

Walking in the passage, Ye Cheng looked left and right, and sure enough, there were oil lamps hanging on the walls on both sides.

The oil from the oil lamp is placed on a copper bowl, and the copper bowl is dragged by a little bronze child with no clothes on, and then the child's right hand grasps the wall, and the feet are combined and kicked on the wall, this posture is a bit like doing gymnastics.

Walk out of the red Huangqian Road and come to the door at the end.

Outside the door, the sun was shining again.

"Bell!" Suddenly, there was a sound on the right hand side.

Ye Cheng felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, like a voice from a startling tree. He quickly turned the hill and looked to the right-hand side, the direction where the voice came from.

Just outside the end of the Imperial Road is a palace-style building embedded in the cliff wall, and a plaque hangs above the entrance of the building. The plaque is written in gold with three big characters of "Imperial Palace".

"What is this place?" Ye Cheng looked up at the plaque and asked strangely.

Cao Rou explained, "This is the Imperial Palace, which is a special yamen for controlling the royal children, and sometimes it is also used as a place to hold felons, and Uncle Xiao's family is locked up here."

"......" Ye Cheng's expression was solemn and he did not speak.

Then there was another slapping sound from inside.

Under the leadership of Cao Rou, Ye Cheng slowly walked into the imperial palace.

As soon as I entered the door, I was surrounded by an atmosphere of trial, and in the distance in front of me hung a plaque that read "Mirror hanging".

Beneath the plaque sat a round-faced, broad-faced, dressed in a dark uniform and wearing a dark black gauze hat. It may be because of the man's fat body and big head, and the gauze hat swayed with the man's movements, as if it was about to fall.

In front of the obese man knelt two men. These two people are Xiao An, who is dressed in white, and Beimao, who is carrying two shovels behind his back.

On each side of Xiao An and Bei Mao stood five soldiers dressed in dark uniforms, and on the back of the soldiers' services was written a large letter. They held the killing rod in both hands, and they had a playful expression on their faces.

Where the case should have been tried seriously, it became less rigorous in the laughter of these soldiers.

Ye Cheng asked strangely, "This is where the Yamen tried the case?" ”

Bai Fang looked ahead, and said with some disgust on his face, "This is not the previous imperial palace, it's just that after the unorthodox royal family took power, everything has changed. And the fat man sitting in the hall now is a yashou, and he is also a member of the unorthodox royal family. ”

Yashou? This title Ye Cheng is a little unfamiliar, but looking back, it should be the same position as the magistrate.

At this time, the fat man sitting in the hall found the three people standing at the door, he quickly stood up and walked towards the door. The fat body, when you walk up, your whole body is shaky.

Coming to Cao Rou, Ya Shou asked respectfully, "I don't know if the princess has something to do here?" ”

Cao Rou said with a serious face, "I heard that you have caught the eldest prince of the Xiao family, so I will take a look" Suddenly, her tone became more stern and said, "Is it that I have to get your approval to come to the imperial palace?" ”

The fat man was obviously a little panicked, and quickly bowed down and said in a panic, "No, no, no.... The princess can come whenever she wants," and then he turned sideways, stretched out his right hand to the hall, and said, "Princess, please."

Ye Cheng then walked behind Cao Rou and walked towards the hall.
