The carriage marched to the gate of the palace, and the guards guarding the gate raised their spears horizontally, blocking the way of King Chen's carriage. The coachman tightened the reins suddenly, causing King Chen, who was sitting in the carriage, to shake his body, "What's the matter?" King Chen said coldly.

"Back to the prince, the guards guarding the door blocked our way." The coachman replied softly.

The guards guarding the door are not fools, so they naturally recognize King Chen's carriage, but since the queen ordered that King Chen was not allowed to enter the palace, then they could only follow it, who made the queen the Bai family. But they didn't want to take the anger of King Chen, and King Chen's anger was not something that they little people could bear.

"Lord, the queen mother said, the palace has not been peaceful recently, there are often bandits haunting, and it is ordered that no one is allowed to enter the palace unless he is called." The guard said respectfully.

"Oh? What if the king insists on entering the palace? Tomorrow is the queen mother's birthday, and the king is entering the palace to give incense to the emperor's grandmother. King Chen said in a cold voice.

Hearing this, the guards were stunned, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Lord Wang, villain...... Villain ......"

The guards don't know what to say, King Chen has a gold medal given by the emperor, and he can enter the palace at any time without having to be edicted, these things are known to the whole Beichen, but today Jiang Guogong has just been imprisoned, and His Royal Highness King Chen is about to enter the palace, is it here to be a lobbyist for Jiang Guogong?

"You are so bold that you dare to block my brother's way, don't you want your heads?" The Xiyue County Lord rode on his horse and raised his eyebrows.

When the guards saw that it was Xiyue, their heads hurt even more, a King Chen was already hard to mess with, who knew that there was another Xiyue County Lord, Xiyue County Lord was used to messing around, but she was the pearl of King Ning's palm, if she offended the Xiyue County Lord, it would offend King Ning, not to mention that King Ning's family was extremely protective, even if King Ning didn't come forward, just the two elder brothers of the Xiyue County Lord, it would not be easy to mess with.

"I've seen the county lord." All the guards knelt down in unison.

"Hmph, you still know that I am the county lord, and I dare to block our way, beware that the whip of this county lord does not have eyes." Xiyue said coldly. After finishing speaking, the long whip was thrown out and hit the edge of the palace gate heavily, leaving a deep trace.

"County Lord, we are also under the will of the queen."

"Huh, Queen Mother? The queen only has the power to manage the affairs of the harem, where is there such power, isn't it you bastards who deliberately make things difficult? "Xiyue is aggressive.

"No, no, no, we really obeyed the queen's decree, and the queen said that no one will be allowed to enter the palace." The guard said cautiously.

"Anyone? Does that include us? Tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's birthday, today I and Brother Chen are going to light candles and incense for the Imperial Grandmother, do you still want to obstruct it? Xiyue said coldly.

"This ......, this ......" The guards didn't know what to say, you must know that tomorrow is the Queen Mother's life, according to custom, the Queen Mother's birthday is to let the younger generations light candles and incense in the Queen Mother's palace the day before, and kneel for a night, if the Queen Mother's life is delayed tomorrow, their heads really don't need to.

Immediately, the commander of the guard turned sideways and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, county lord, please." ”

Xiyue looked at the guards kneeling on the ground, who had already made way of a way, and didn't want to say anything more to them, and followed King Chen's carriage into the palace.

The Empress Dowager originally lived in Yonghua Palace, Yonghua Palace is located in the best position in the palace, but since the death of the Empress Dowager, it has lost its former brilliance, except for a few palace maids and eunuchs who do sprinkling and sweeping, there are few people here, King Chen and Xiyue also feel a burst of desertion when they walk into Yonghua Palace.

"Brother Yihan, let's go in." Xiyue said softly.

"Hmm." King Chen answered softly, and took the lead in walking into the Yonghua Palace.

Pushing open the door of the main hall of Yonghua Palace, the first thing that catches your eye is a portrait of the Empress Dowager wearing court clothes, with two fine sandalwood incense hanging above, and more than 100 white candles around it.

King Chen and Xiyue each picked up the fire fold on the table, lit the sandalwood, and began to light the candles one by one, these candles will be burned until tomorrow morning, at that time, all the royal families will enter the palace to chant for the Empress Dowager.

"Brother Yihan, Uncle Jiang, he ......" Xiyue wanted to speak and stopped. Now, Jiang Guogong has such a big event, Jiang Tian must be very anxious in her heart, she cares about Jiang Tian, and naturally hopes that Jiang Guogong is safe and sound, if Jiang Guogong really has an accident, then it is impossible for her and Jiang Tian to do so.

"Don't worry, I entered the palace today for this matter, and your sister-in-law has already done other things." King Chen whispered in relief as he lit the candle.

Xiyue likes Jiang Tian, that's definitely not wrong, Jiang Guogong's Mansion and Ning Wang's Mansion are also the right match, but if something happens to Jiang Guogong, Xiyue may not be able to marry the person she likes as she wishes.

Even if it is for the happiness of his sister, he will definitely help Jiang Guogong clear his name. It's just that what he hasn't been able to understand is why the other party wants to attack Jiang Guogong first.

"Sister-in-law, is there a way?" Xiyue said happily. When she heard King Chen say that other things would be handled by Chu Lixue, the stone in her heart fell, Chu Lixue's ability, Xiyue was very appreciative and admired.

Thankfully, Chu Lixue was her brother's wife, otherwise, Jiang Tian would definitely not have her existence in his eyes. A woman as bright and moving and extremely smart as Chu Lixue, what man doesn't like it.

At night, Xiyue and King Chen were kneeling in the hall to the Empress Dowager, Xiyue was originally an active character, and now she wants to kneel obediently for a night, but it is really like punishing her.

The night was deep, the bright moon was in the sky, the cold wind came in through the crack in the door, King Chen took off the cloak on his body and draped it on the sleepy Xiyue, but unexpectedly, the cloak had just been draped on Xiyue's body, Xiyue's body fell, and she fell asleep on the ground. King Chen smiled helplessly, and then continued to kneel there.

At this moment, there was a sound of Suo Suo from outside the door of the palace, and King Chen stood up vigilantly, leaned against the door, and looked through the crack in the door.

It turned out that two eunuch-like people were talking here, and looking at the two of them looking left and right, it seemed that they were afraid of being discovered.

"Everything is done, this time, Jiang Guogong will definitely die." One of the eunuchs whispered.

Hearing this, it was actually related to Jiang Guogong's matter, it really took no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, and I originally wanted to wait another hour and quietly go out to investigate, but I didn't expect them to choose to connect here.

"Well, things are done well, the Lord will definitely reward you well, you go back, don't be discovered." Another eunuch-like man lowered his voice.

Although the other party was wearing the clothes of a eunuch, he did not have a shrill voice like the eunuch just now, but a very gloomy man's voice.

Lord? Who is the Lord in these mouths? Will it be King An? They had already learned from Chu Lixue's mouth that the current King An was not real, but a strategist in the mansion of Kong Qi, the third prince of Southern Chu.

Could it be that today's events were also designed by him? Jiang Guogong doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, if he has to say something, then there are only Jiang Bai and the dead Jiang Nan.

But judging from the information they knew, the current King An should have nothing to do with Jiang Bai's family, could it be said that he would still attract the attention of others for someone else's woman?

Without thinking about it, King Chen waited for the man to leave, then quietly left the Yonghua Palace and chased in the direction where the eunuch left.

King Chen's light skills are excellent, and the guards in the palace are also trained by his own hands, if he didn't deliberately make a sound, those Janissaries would not be able to find King Chen, during the first emperor's period, King Chen often ran into the palace in the middle of the night without sleeping to train the Praetorian Guards, which made these Janissaries headaches one by one.

Following the figure of the eunuch, he came all the way to the emperor's Wende Pavilion, which was the place where the emperor specially summoned ministers to approve the folds.

This eunuch was not stopped from entering Wende Pavilion, which can only show one point, he is the eunuch of Wende Pavilion, so there is only one person who can enter and exit freely in Wende Pavilion and can still serve the emperor closely, and that is the high father-in-law of the same grade as Li Fu.

"Father-in-law Gao, it's so late, and you still haven't rested." King Chen stood behind Gonggong Gao and said softly.

Hearing this, Gonggong Gao was stunned, he didn't expect King Chen to be behind him, but when did King Chen come to Wende Pavilion? Why didn't he notice? Could it be that he was so engrossed in things just now that he didn't notice it?

Thinking of this, Gonggong Gao put on a decent smile, "Lord Wang, it's so late, why did you come to Wende Pavilion?" ”

"This king lit candles for the Queen Mother in Yonghua Palace tonight, and after a long time, I was a little sleepy, so I came out for a walk, and I didn't want to come here." King Chen said lightly.

Hearing this, Gao Gonggong's heart is not good, Yonghua Palace, could it be that the matter of his trip to Yonghua Palace just now was seen by King Chen? He took advantage of the late night to go quietly, and he shouldn't be discovered.

"Has the prince been in Yonghua Palace?" Gao Gonggong said tentatively.

"After lighting the candles, I came out for a spin, and now I'm ready to go back and kneel on the scriptures." King Chen chuckled.

King Chen didn't say anything about Xiyue also in Yonghua Palace, originally Xiyue was already asleep when the eunuch was connected, everything that happened in the courtyard, she definitely wouldn't know, if Xiyue was also involved, it would bring any danger to Xiyue.

"Yes, the prince kneels late at night, but you have to pay more attention to your body, it's late at night, the slave gives the prince "take a cloak, if you catch a cold and hurt your body, the emperor will blame the slave." After finishing speaking, Gao Gonggong flattered him and put the cloak on King Chen's body, and King Chen did not shirk it, and accepted everything happily, but looked at Gao Gonggong's eyes with some inquiry......
