It was getting dark, and Emperor Duan had just had dinner.

He put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief that Su Mao had prepared on the side, and wiped his mouth.

"Your Majesty doesn't use some more, these are all wild meat sent by General Chong, and only this time of year tastes the most delicious."

Emperor Duan got up and waved his hand, "It's all withdrawn, I don't know what happened to Jing Yi's side, these are boring compared to sticky bean buns, and I don't know if I will bring some into the palace when Jing Yi comes back." ”

Su Mao smiled and helped Emperor Duan to the dragon chair, turned his hand and quietly retreated a few subordinates, the hall became more and more private and quiet, he replied softly while massaging Emperor Duan's arm, "I will definitely bring it back, our prince has always been filial, and besides, our master also has His Majesty in his heart, and when I see the gift you carefully prepared for her, I will definitely be moved." ”

Emperor Duan unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, "Really? I think that back then, she didn't like gold, silver, jewelry, and preferred some novelties in the market, but it really stumped me. ”

Before Emperor Duan's words fell, he heard a long announcement from outside, "His Royal Highness King Yi and Princess Yi ask to see him!" ”

Emperor Duan stood up abruptly and looked at Su Mao on the side in surprise, "You're back so soon?" Quick, get him in! ”

"Yes!" Su Mao's small steps fell quickly, and he chattered happily as he walked, "It must be that the prince is afraid that you will be in a hurry, so he will enter the palace at this time to ask for peace, and the slave will go to greet the prince!" ”

As soon as Su Mao went out, he bumped into Duan Jingyi and Tang Meng, who were standing straight, and immediately congratulated in a low voice, "The prince came at the right time, Your Majesty just mentioned you, go in quickly!" ”

"There is Father-in-law."

Tang Meng and the others had just walked a few steps, and before they entered the palace gate, they were stopped by the forbidden army and the maid who was accompanying them, "Irrelevant people are not allowed to enter!" ”

At this time, Su Mao saw that Tang Meng was not followed by the little girls in the past, and the person behind her at this time lowered his head and covered his veil, so that people couldn't see their faces clearly.

Su Mao frowned and was stopped by Tang Meng before he got close, "I heard that my father has been busy with official business these days, so I specially selected a dancing girl from outside and sent it in, hoping to relieve my father's fatigue, and I also asked my father-in-law to be accommodating and let me bring people in." ”

Su Mao naturally trusted Duan Jingyi and Tang Meng, but he was not the only one who had the final say at Emperor Duan's door, for example, the forbidden army only obeyed Pei Mu's orders except for Emperor Duan, and the rest of the people didn't even give face to Su Mao.

Duan Jingyi said to the guards who were blocking him, "This is a person sent by King Yi's mansion, is it possible that you are suspicious of entering the palace with this king?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare, but Your Majesty, we have to be careful, as long as we ask the prince to let us search these dancing girls and make sure that there are no weapons to enter."

"Bold!"

Tang Meng subconsciously grabbed Duan Jingyi's arm, and before he could speak, he saw that His Royal Highness had a guard patrolling by, and it was not Pei Mu himself who was the leader.

"Commander Pei!" Tang Meng waved his hand and shouted.

Pei Mu was stunned, he didn't expect to see Tang Meng here, so he immediately went over and saluted Duan Jingyi, "The ministers pay their respects to the prince and princess." ”

Tang Meng's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the savior, she trotted over and pulled Pei Mu aside and whispered something in his ear, and before the words fell, she saw Pei Mu suddenly look at the masked man beside Duan Jingyi in shock.

He looked at Tang Meng again in horror as if he couldn't believe it, and it wasn't until the latter nodded solemnly that Pei Mu finally broke out in a cold sweat, and he said in a low and nervous voice, "You guys are too bold, don't you even put your mother ...... Send the master here! ”

"I know that this thing was done suddenly, but there must be a reason for it, so I also ask Commander Pei to take care of it in the palace, if there is really any danger, I ask you to help Eniang get out safely."

Pei Mu looked serious and serious, "That's a matter of natural mothers, how can I sit idly by, I will definitely be nervous and careful, but this is really too dangerous, there are not a few ministers and harem mothers who come down to worship at that time, you are too shocking to send the head of the house to Your Majesty, are you not afraid of being recognized." ”

Tang Meng didn't know that it was so dangerous, but if he wanted to do something, he naturally had to pay, he comforted Pei Mu and said, "This is called darkness under the lamp, the more openly and honestly the person who appears next to his father, the less it will attract the attention of others, but in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, if something really happens, please be sure to send Eniang outside the palace, as long as you go out of the palace gate, there will naturally be someone from the prince to take over." ”

There is no other way to do it, Pei Mu nodded solemnly, "As long as I am here, I will definitely ensure the safety of the family!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and waved to the guards on the stairs behind him, "Release people!" ”

"Yes!" The guards returned to their original positions in an uproar, and Su Zhi quietly pulled Duan Jingyi's sleeves behind, and whispered happily, "Your daughter-in-law can do it, she is more capable than you!" ”

Duan Jingyi looked ahead without squinting and squeezed out a few words from the back molars, "E-Niang, please be more restrained!" ”

Convergence? Su Zhi rolled her eyes, she was about to go to her home stadium and restrain herself, and then she followed Duan Jingyi and Tang Meng to start again and swaggered into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Su Mao watched all this from behind and only felt that this masked woman was really familiar, but he never dared to guess that this person would be Su Zhi, he just instinctively entered the hall and blasted all the little eunuchs out, leaving only an absolutely trustworthy henchman waiting inside.

As soon as Duan Jingyi entered the door, he was forced to wait before he walked to the center to salute, and Emperor Duan, who was forced to wait, rushed over and grabbed his arm all of a sudden, "No courtesy, no courtesy, what do you say?" ”

Duan Jingyi raised his eyebrows and didn't answer, only then did Emperor Duan see that Tang Meng had also followed, he subconsciously coughed in an attempt to cover up his expression, and said in a deep voice, "Is there anything urgent about Jingyi entering the palace now?" ”

Who expected Emperor Duan's words to fall, and he heard a sneer from the corner.

The people in the hall immediately changed their faces in fright, and Emperor Duan's face turned black in an instant, and he suddenly looked at Tang Meng.

Tang Meng covered his mouth and shook his head in shock, then pointed his finger, and everyone's eyes fell on the masked woman's face.

Emperor Duan was furious, "Bold! Who dares to laugh at me! ”

Who knew that the woman was not afraid of not kneeling, so she walked straight over, Su Mao hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but as soon as she raised her hand, she suddenly saw the woman's eyebrows clearly, and immediately frightened Hua Du and said, "Your Majesty, she, she is ......"

Emperor Duan was angry, "Come on, drag her down for me......"

"Drag it down and cut it down?" A gentle and smiling voice sounded from behind the veil, like a thunderclap that directly hit Emperor Duan's Heavenly Spirit Gai, but at this time, many guards had rushed in from outside, and their swords were all swords-rattling, and the bright blades in their hands were straight towards Su Zhi's back.

Emperor Duan suddenly came back to his senses, and then he was shocked and hurriedly ran over to protect Su Zhi's back, "What are you doing, whoever told you to come in, go out!" ”

The forbidden soldiers were confused, but they had no choice but to collect their weapons in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, the room was quiet as if nothing had happened.

Emperor Duan ran back to Su Zhi in disbelief, he bent down slightly to look at her face, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Su Zhi laughed at him, "What, the emperor doesn't want to kill me?" ”

At this time, Emperor Cai and Su Mao both confirmed that the person in front of them was really Su Zhi, "Niangniang is really you!" How do you ...... The old slave is so happy! ”

Su Zhi looked at Emperor Duan, "I knew that you were busy in the new year, so I came, I didn't expect that I hadn't come back here for twenty years and it hadn't changed at all," Su Zhi stretched out her hand to Tang Meng after speaking, and then she had a small cloth bag in her hand, which was opened layer by layer and was full of things that Emperor Duan liked to eat, "You gave me so many things, I can't help but return the gift, it seems insincere to ask someone to bring it back, and now that I came in person, I don't know if the emperor is still satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, satisfied! I'm so satisfied! I just don't know how long you're going to stay this time? Emperor Duan looked at Su Zhi's face cautiously while being delighted.

Su Zhi's heart warmed, and she smiled, "If you don't drive me away, how about I plan to go back here for the New Year?" ”

"Good, good!" Emperor Duan was so happy that he couldn't care about anything else, he didn't even look at Duan Jingyi and waved his hand directly, "Jingyi has worked so hard, if there is nothing to do, go back and rest early!" ”
