Of course, the emperor would not agree to let Zhu Qiming leave the palace to avoid it because the palace was in the draft, otherwise, the previous "gentleman" would not be true, how could the Son of Heaven slap himself in the face? But the emperor must take into account the true intentions of the important ministers of the court and the central government who are covered up by high-sounding rhetoric, and these true intentions will induce the so-called "boiling of material discussions"!

In the Forbidden City, a place where the wind and clouds meet, direct expression of one's opinions is limited to specific occasions, and more often, people should be good at expressing their own subtext and be proficient in interpreting other people's subtext.

The subtext helped Zhu Qiming a lot, he was allowed to go back to live in Yuefu as he wished, at this moment, he only needed to go to Qingning Palace and Xianxi Palace to say hello, and then he could say goodbye to the Forbidden City in style.

After leaving the Yongsu Palace, Yang Pu urged a pair of old legs to chase Zhu Qiming, followed by Wang Ji.

Wang Ji shook his head, with a look of regret, "A good victory, as soon as it is disturbed by others, it has become a common thing, and even the celebration banquet at noon has been exempted. ”

Yang Pu looked ahead and slowed down slightly, "I was ambushed in the first battle, doesn't Your Highness think that I should say something in front of the emperor?" ”

"Xiao Wang has thought about it before and after, this matter has nothing to do with the leakage of military information, and there are also masters in Warat, who have calculated Xiao Wang's every move. However, the defeat of Zhao Gang is very strange, and it is worth the two adults to take a closer look. ”

"What is Your Highness suspecting?" Yang Pu turned his head, but his gaze fell on Wang Ji.

"Who recommended the eunuchs beside Zhao Gang? Is he dead or alive now? Zhu Qiming said softly.

"Your Highness is bright-eyed!" Wang Ji sighed, with a helpless face, "Zhaogang's entire army was wiped out, but Liu Ji, the eunuch of the prison army, was nowhere to be found, no one was alive, and no corpse was dead, which made people suspicious." But Liu Ji was the young eunuch of the royal prison before he became the eunuch of the supervising army, and he was recommended by the eunuch Xi Ning, the eunuch of the imperial eunuch's palm seal, and the point of suspicion was too obvious, the emperor did not speak, who could investigate deeply! ”

Yang Pu also sighed, bowed goodbye to Zhu Qiming with Wang Ji, and walked in the direction of Fengtian Palace.

The suspicion points to the imperial prison, and even to the royal celebrity Xining, of course, the important ministers of the court do not dare to make a mistake, not to mention that Liu Ji's whereabouts are unknown, so everyone can only bury all the suspicions in their stomachs!

So, did the emperor ever suspect the strangeness of Zhao Gang's successive attacks? This is a rather interesting question, the Son of Heaven's suspicions only become sensitive when it comes to the artifact of the kingdom, and other times, it is extremely dull. In this regard, Zhu Qiming did not dare to speculate.

He turned into the northbound road by the west wall, and not far in front of him was the Qingyuan Palace, which was a remote place, and he did not expect to meet the emperor's concubine.

"His Royal Highness King Yue!"

"His Royal Highness King Yue!"

Mao Gui and Wang Qing trotted over from the front of Qingyuan Palace, and kept greeting Zhu Qiming.

"This morning, when I heard the magpie calling, I knew that there would be a noble person entering the palace, no, it turned out to be Your Highness, you returned triumphantly!" Mao Gui's legs were fast, and he grabbed ahead of Wang Qing in a few steps.

Wang Qing tilted his neck and peeked out from behind Mao Gui, "Your Highness, I saw an auspicious cloud in the sky this morning, and I guessed that His Highness would return to Beijing in an auspicious way!" ”

"You two don't have to be polite." Zhu Qiming stopped, looked up at the sky, and wondered in his heart, are there auspicious clouds this morning? At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky have just begun to dissipate, how could there have been auspicious clouds before? It seems that Wang Qing's knotting ability is more than one and a half points worse than Mao Gui, and in terms of nonsense's kung fu, Mao Gui is more reliable!

After the two of them stood still, Zhu Qiming moved his eyes to look at Qingyuan Palace, "Why are you here?" ”

Mao Gui's mouth was sharp, and taking advantage of Wang Qingshang's secret wording, he opened his mouth early: "Your Highness doesn't know, now there are only three hundred show girls left, and the Queen Mother wants to pick out fifty ladies from them, and she will come over every half a month to see them." Oh, isn't the Qingyuan Hall empty? There are 50 beautiful ladies who practice here during the day, in case the queen mother comes to inspect at any time. ”

Could it be that the Queen Mother is in the Qingyuan Palace? If that's the case, I'll have to go to Xianxi Palace to say hello! Zhu Qiming wanted to move to the Qingyuan Hall to greet the Queen Mother, but after thinking about it, there were fifty beautiful girls gathered in the Qingyuan Palace, how could a prince of his own trespass there!

His thoughts unconsciously fell to the draft, "How many ladies did the Queen Mother choose?" ”

This time, Wang Qing finally took the lead, "Back to Your Highness, the Queen Mother has only selected one person, and that is the eldest lady of the Zhou family." ”

Zhou's daughter? Expected! Zhu Qiming didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so strict, and only one person has been selected to this day, and the person selected is still the daughter of the Zhou family who has long been in the heart of the Queen Mother!

"Oh, Your Highness." Mao Gui seemed to have an understanding, turned his head to look around, and said in a low voice: "I wonder if you have heard of Haizhou Qian's?" She seems to have a great background, the Empress Dowager sent someone to send her into the Qingyuan Hall today, making it clear that she was signaling the Empress Dowager to choose her as soon as possible! ”

Do you dare to say such a thing? Zhu Qiming was surprised, thinking that Mao Gui didn't see much in front of his own prince, and it was inconvenient for him to blame him, so he asked casually: "What about the Qin family?" ”

"The little one almost forgot about this thing!" Mao Gui screamed softly, and then looked back again, becoming more and more cautious. The queen mother didn't seem to like her very well, but the emperor fell in love with her, and last night the emperor drove the Xianxi Palace and said to the queen mother in person that he wanted to set a treasure ring for the Qin family! Later, the queen mother seemed to obey the emperor's wishes, but she was afraid that she would be selected today. Your Royal Highness, the little one doesn't dare to hide half a point in front of you, if the Queen Mother finds out that someone is talking too much in the future, blame the little one, don't forget to say a few good words for the little one! ”

Zhu Qiming smiled indifferently, "What did you just say?" Why didn't the king hear a word? ”

Mao Gui's face softened, and his mouth was crooked to the side with a smile, "Your Highness is so kind to us little slaves!" ”

At this time, Meizi appeared from the gate of Qingyuan Palace, and when she saw Zhu Qiming at a glance, Ying Ying Yifu, her face seemed to be embarrassed, and then she bowed and retreated.

"Meizi's mouth is broken, Your Highness don't be like her!" Mao Gui said disdainfully.

A plum with a broken mouth secretly took the place of the well-thought-out red knotweed, which is really an aggressive thing! Zhu Qiming didn't want to think about it, so he wanted to leave for Qingning Palace to ask for peace, and suddenly saw Feng Duo leading a woman with a good appearance out of the Qingyuan Palace, and the woman had a jade ring on her arm, which looked particularly dazzling against the backdrop of a plain dress.

"Your Highness, look, she is the Haizhou Qian family, it seems that she was chosen by the Queen Mother!" Mao Gui reminded Zhu Qiming on his lips, but his eyes fell on his feet.

Feng Duo obviously saw Zhu Qiming and immediately bowed down. Qian turned around with Feng Duo and bowed slightly, and when Zhu Qiming saw this, he immediately returned the salute.

The distance is a bit far, Zhu Qiming can't see Qian's appearance clearly, but the charm she exudes between her gestures is very good, which is not surprising, the person the Empress Dowager likes is naturally of good character!

"Feng Duo, you give a word for this king, today this king wanted to go to Qingning Palace to greet the Empress Dowager, but it seems to be a little inconvenient, so I have to go to say hello another day."

"Yes."

Feng Duo had just left with the Qian family, when he saw Juan'er leading the Qin family out of the Qingyuan Palace. The Qin clan also had a treasure ring on his arm.

"Your Highness, look, the Qin clan has also been selected!" This time, Wang Qing's eyes were sharp, and he grabbed ahead of Mao Gui.

The Qin clan and Juan'er didn't pay attention to the people here, they went straight into the palace gate, and their figures were quickly hidden by the woods.

"You give this king a message, because it is inconvenient today, this king will say hello to the queen mother another day."

Dropping these words, Zhu Qiming wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly his heart moved, so he stared at Wang Qing quietly, "Do you remember the past near the hospital last year?" You mentioned the first year of orthodoxy, what did you want to say at that time? ”

"The first year of orthodoxy? Oh, the little one remembered, that night the little one and Mao Gui returned late because they went to the lamp market to procure, and they saw a figure in the Xuanwu Gate, that person was sneaky and very suspicious. ”

Lights City? Zhu Qiming's heart was shocked, and the heavy fog that lingered in his mind suddenly rolled up violently, faintly as if the truth was about to come out!

"Who is he?"

"It seems to be ······" The corners of Wang Qing's mouth twitched, and then he blinked his eyes desperately, "Please forgive your Highness, the small eye disease has flare up again, and I will cry in the wind, if I don't take medicine, I'm afraid I will be blind, and the little one will retire and retire." ”

Tears in the wind? You squeezed desperately and didn't see you squeeze out a single tear! Zhu Qiming looked at Wang Qing, who was leaving in a hurry, and only felt that the mystery of the past had revealed a crack, and all the sins were about to be revealed to the world!

"Good you idiot!" Mao Gui scolded Wang Qing's back, turned around and smiled: "Your Highness, the little one also remembered, Wang Qing said at the time that the person was very similar······ Suddenly, he bowed his waist again and again, "Your Highness, Fang Cai Meizi seems to be greeting the little one, it must be the Queen Mother who has something to order, and the little one will retire!" ”

The characters who can make Mao Gui and Wang Qing jealous, and who want to stop talking in front of a prince are definitely not ordinary people! Zhu Qiming pondered for a moment, then turned around and returned the same way.

Thinking about his thoughts along the way, he unconsciously arrived in front of the Fengtian Temple.

"The things that were placed at the Shangyuan Festival banquet were not until today when we let the palace supervisor come to clean up, and the imperial eunuch was too unsightly!"

A shrill complaint came, and Zhu Qiming followed the prestige and saw more than a dozen attendants holding various musical instruments rushing out of the side door of Fengtian Palace.

Shangyuan Festival? Musical instrument? Zhu Qiming was in a trance. His thoughts suddenly returned to the first year of orthodoxy, which was also the Shangyuan Festival, he walked into the Fengtian Hall with his father, and then went to the Xianxi Palace, when the queen mother ordered Meizi to get the Baoqin, and Meizi seemed to have been gone for a long time.

Think again! By the way, afterwards, the two palace maids of Xianxi Palace mentioned a person, and it was he who accompanied Meizi to retrieve the Zhonghe Qin!

Could it be that he took the piano in the Fengtian Temple? At that time, the Empress Dowager and her father were in the Fengtian Palace, and they may have agreed to go to the Lantern Market·····

Zhu Qiming's mind suddenly rolled up in a turbulent wave, his eyes shone brightly, and his breathing became short.

When he was captured by the Tartar thieves, it was clear that someone was colluding with the inside and outside of Warat; Now that Zhao Gang is defeated, it is obviously because someone has secretly communicated with Wara, is it just a pure coincidence between the two!
