The man smiled, like a spring breeze and rain, warming people's hearts. He put down the tray in his hand and said casually: "I didn't expect that your 10,000-year-old iceberg was also enlightened, is this the maid you brought back?" ”

Long Yunche shook his head lightly, frowned and looked at the door and said coldly: "Father-in-law He! ”

The man who had just brought the man into the door at the door, and the person dressed as his father-in-law before he had time to speak out hurriedly knelt down and said: "The prince forgives the sin, it is the old slave who is not strict in discipline, and this slave collided with the prince and the Mu people." ”

"Father-in-law He, what the prince means is that our palace doesn't need a maidservant, what's the matter with this person?" Feng Yi, who had been following Long Yunche, also frowned.

Father-in-law He bent over, but half-tilted his head, his white and beardless face was wrinkled, and he said with a smile on his face: "Lord, this is all the kindness of the Queen Mother and her old man." The Queen Mother said that you have already reached the age when you should marry, but you have been delayed for the sake of state affairs. It's really unreasonable that this huge palace doesn't even have a handmaid. I heard that you were about to return to Kyoto, so I sent a few palace maids over. However, these are all sent when they are new to the palace, so they don't know the rules very well. The old slave will go back and step up his retraining. ”

Listening to Grandpa He's words, even Luo Qianqian heard a little bit of the way. This queen mother is going to meddle in the back house of the prince's family.

Long Yunche glanced at Gonggong He coldly and said, "Since this is the case, it is good to discipline." Don't live up to the Queen Mother's kindness. ”

When Gonggong He heard this, the corners of his lips turned up slightly, and he immediately kowtowed again, saying yes, and was about to pull the maid away, but was stopped by Long Yunche and said, "This woman doesn't need to be brought back." ”

Before Father-in-law He could react, Long Yun Chesen said coldly: "A woman who doesn't know how to settle down shouldn't stay in the house anymore." Wind Wing, throw her out of me. ”

"Yes!" Wind Wing stepped forward and picked up the already shivering maid and walked out.

Gonggong He was a little dazed, and said in a trance: "Lord, this person was sent by the Queen Mother, this ......"

Long Yunche didn't look at him again, but waved his hand and said, "Father-in-law He doesn't need to say much, the Queen Mother won't blame you." Stand down! ”

Father-in-law He wanted to say something more, but after seeing Long Yunche's cold eyes, he suddenly trembled, lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, and bent down to withdraw from the room.

Seeing that there was no one else, the man didn't need Long Yunche to let him, Shi Shiran sat on the chair next to him, poured a cup of tea for Long Yunche, and poured another cup for himself, before he said slowly: "This father-in-law seems to have been a person next to the Queen Mother, aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother and her old man will blame?" ”

Long Yunche took the teacup, took a shallow sip and said: "The queen mother is also a person who knows how to measure, and she will never blame this king for a eunuch who looks up to people." ”

The man smiled and said, "I think what the Queen Mother said is right, there should be a woman in charge of this palace to help you take care of it." ”

Long Yunche put down the cup this time, looked at the man with a cold face and said, "If you have something to say, you have nothing to do!" ”

"Tsk, why are you still so grumpy." The man smiled and said: "The shopkeeper of my Baicaotang came back from the purchase today, and happened to meet you entering the city, so he reported it to me directly, I thought that I hadn't seen it for a long time, so I hurriedly put down the work in my hand and rushed over, did the prince just drive me away?" ”

Long Yunche's sword eyebrows moved slightly and did not speak, and he looked at the man with a cold gaze.

The man helplessly raised his hand to hold the corner of his eyebrows, the smile on the corner of his lips narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "There has been a theft in the palace, and it is estimated that there will be a holy decree to pass you into the palace soon." ”

Long Yunche's cold eyes flashed slightly, and the man continued: "I won't say much about the details of this matter, someone will naturally tell you after entering the palace." I'm here just to be entrusted by someone, and I hope you can protect someone. ”

"Who?" Long Yunche was really a little surprised this time, who could invite the emperor's eldest brother to intercede?

The man's eyebrows stretched at this moment, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "You also know this person-Ouyang Yichen, the little prince of Pingbei Palace, he entrusted me to protect Chen Nuo, the commander of the Praetorian Guard." ”

"I know Chen Nuo." Long Yunche said in a deep voice: "How come Ouyang Yichen's kid also recognizes him?" What happened to him? ”

"On the day of the palace theft, Chen Nuo happened to be on duty with his troops. The theft seems to be a difficult one. The emperor was furious and ordered all the officers and soldiers of the night to be beaten and thrown into the prison. He also ordered the Dali Temple to catch the thieves within five days, otherwise all the officers and soldiers who were imprisoned would be killed. Now Dali Temple is making every effort to detect the thieves. Ouyang Yichen was worried that Chen Nuo would not be able to hold on, and you were not in the imperial capital, so he asked me for help. ”

Long Yunche said a little abruptly when he heard this: "No wonder I went to Dali Temple today to hand over the prisoners, and found that there were so few people in the government. He raised his eyes and glanced at the man, and snorted: "He's looking for you, why did you push me here?" ”

The man smiled slightly: "I don't know what the emperor lost." I also went to the palace to inquire before, and it was only said that it was the emperor's beloved thing, but no one knew what it was. I don't know what to lose, how to prescribe the right medicine to protect people. As it happens, you're back, and only you can do it. ”

Long Yunche knew that he said that he went to the palace to inquire about the man's queen sister to find out the news, if even the queen didn't know what the emperor lost, this matter would indeed be difficult to do.

The man looked at Long Yunche and said, "I wonder if you can help with this?" ”

Long Yunche raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said, "Chen Nuo's master and my master are old acquaintances, and I have also had a relationship with him. With you and the little prince, I really have to help if I don't help. ”

The man's face was overjoyed, and he said with relief: "It seems that Chen Nuo, this kid is still a blessed person, and it will be okay to have you to help." He looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, I'll go back first." It is estimated that the emperor will announce you to the palace by tomorrow morning at the latest. ”

After the man finished speaking, he got up and left, and Long Yunche didn't get up to see him off, but still sat there without moving, falling into deep thought.

"Is that queen mother your mother?" Luo's shallow voice suddenly sounded in his head.

Long Yunche, who was interrupted from his train of thought, frowned, and subconsciously said, "What? ”

"Is the Queen Mother your mother?"

"It's not." Long Yunche quickly replied. There is nothing to hide from Luo Qianqian about this matter. But he asked strangely, "What are you asking for?" ”

Luo Qianqian said: "No wonder I felt weird just now. Didn't you say anything about this palace! That Gonggong He is obviously not of the same mind as you. ”

Long Yunche was a little surprised, he knew that this woman was indeed rare and thoughtful, but he didn't expect that just one side would be able to see that Gonggong He was not his person.

Long Yunche didn't speak, Luo Qianqian didn't ask, and asked again: "Who was that Mu Daren just now?" Is it your friend? "She was really curious. Listening to the conversation between the two, she could feel that the relationship between them was not ordinary, but how could such a gentle and elegant man be friends with this 10,000-year-old ice cube, she was really curious.

"It's none of your business, you don't have to know." Long Yunche replied indifferently.

"I'm in the same body as you, if I meet one day, I don't know how embarrassing his name is!" Luo Qianqian asked without giving up.

Long Yunche said directly: "We won't meet late at night. The implication is that you don't have a chance to meet.

Seeing that this trick was not good, Luo Qianqian didn't say more, don't say it, anyway, she has her own methods.

The two just stopped talking, and the father-in-law He who had left hurriedly came to the door again and whispered: "Lord, someone from the palace announced that you have entered the palace and are waiting at the door." ”

Long Yunche was stunned.

Luo Qianqian also heard it, and said curiously: "Come to announce your entry into the palace so soon?" What kind of valuables did your emperor lose! ”

The Forbidden Palace, which symbolizes the highest authority of the entire proud imperial dynasty, still exudes colorful colors in the afterglow of the sunset.

A dark golden carriage slowly came from the pipes, less than half an hour before the palace ban time. The steward and eunuch in charge of the palace ban and lock were already waiting in front of the door. Seeing a carriage coming from a distance, the eunuch who was chatting with the soldiers on duty looked at the carriage curiously.

Who is this? Still coming to the palace so late?

It's no wonder that he is curious, because every night after the palace door is locked, unless there is a palace change, no matter how big the palace door is, the palace door will not be opened again. Moreover, there is no place for ministers to rest in the Forbidden Palace, but all ministers who can't leave the palace can only be aggrieved to deal with a night in the waiting hall. Therefore, unless something big happens, no minister will rush into the palace at this hour.

The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to be careless, and four of them took spears together, forming a cross and blocking the palace gate. When the carriage reached the door, a man who looked like a commander interrupted and shouted, "The forbidden place of the palace! No trespassing! ”

Before the little eunuch who was driving the car could talk to Feng Yi, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a round-faced eunuch poked his head out of it and said: "Blind your dog eyes, King Jing entered the palace by the holy decree, don't hurry up and get out of the way!" ”

The commander was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the person coming, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Father-in-law Yu, just changed shifts, the villain doesn't know that father-in-law Yu is going out, please forgive my father-in-law." But soon the palace ban will be ......"

"Nonsense! The miscellaneous family doesn't know that there is a palace ban, and the prince is ordered to enter the palace, do you dare to stop it? The round-faced eunuch was already a little angry.

"But ......" This is true for the father-in-law who is the emperor's side, but he let people into the palace without a tooth card, and the commander is still a little hesitant. After all, there was a palace theft only two days ago, and his colleagues were still eating in prison, so he didn't dare to let them go easily.

Before the commander's words fell, an object in the carriage flew out of it and landed impartially in his arms.

"This is—" The Commander took a closer look at what was in his hand through the dimmer light, it was a rectangular jade plaque, with a lifelike flying dragon carved on the front, and three large characters on the back - from the dragon order.

In today's imperial court, there is only one piece from the Dragon Order, and only one person is qualified to carry this token, and that is the emperor's most favored eleventh prince - Long Yunche!
