Chapter 162: The Bronze Gate
I looked at her suspiciously, and I was in a state of wariness for this woman. When I was in Taiyue Mountain, she wanted to kill me because of Xiao Jingqi, and at this time I couldn't tell if she was on my side.
She obeys Xiao Jingqi's orders, and may be loyal to Xiao Jingqi, but I don't necessarily have a heart that is loyal to me.
She came to my Zhaoyang Palace at this time to tell me about this, and I still don't understand the meaning at the moment.
Are you here to expose me, or do you want to hear my truth, to find out my intentions?
In my contemplation, Nangong Ni smiled faintly, "Niangniang is nervous, Ni and Niangniang are fellow travelers, Ni is in this palace, Niangniang does not expose Ni, but also looks at Ni on the same side, Hou Ye's heart is clear, and Niangniang doesn't want to put Hou Ye in danger, right?" ”
My back stiffened, "Then the palace thinks clearly, what is the Nangong girl in this palace?" ”
She smiled charmingly, "Ni said, Ni ordered to hide in the palace to help Niangniang, can Niangniang be trusted?" ”
I looked at the girl in front of me in a daze, her words were not like a joke, if they were, but I never saw her help me in any way.
I laughed, confused.
Nangong Ni looked at me and muttered, "Presumably Master Hou has already told Niangniang, Niangniang's lost jade unicorn is in the palace......"
I was stunned and looked at her seriously.
She continued, "Ni ordered the Hou Ye to hide in the palace to help Niang Niang find the Jade Qilin. ”
I raised my eyebrows, "Miss Nangong is really willing to help Bengong?" ”
"Of course, Hou Ye's words, Ni can't help but obey." She replied to me solemnly, "I don't know if Niangniang can still remember the theft of the Taihua Hall on the wedding night of the King of Beihai." ”
In this way, I saw Nangong Ni that night, and it was she who went back to the palace first to steal from the Taihua Palace.
"That night, Ni Ke was trying to help Niang Niang find the jade unicorn, and almost let the palace guards catch her......"
"And what about later?" I hurriedly asked, wondering about the whereabouts of the jade unicorn.
Nangong Ni shook her head, "Ni didn't succeed, and it alarmed the slaves and maids of Taihua Palace." ”
I relieved my heart, and it can be seen that the jade unicorn is still in the hands of the Empress Dowager.
"Then, what good plan does Miss Nangong have?" I wanted to get the jade qilin back as soon as possible, so I hurriedly asked her.
Nangong Ni took a step in front of me, turned around and looked at me again, "Ni thinks that it will be difficult to get the jade unicorn if the Empress Dowager has been in the palace, only if she leaves the palace for a while, maybe Ni will have a chance." Ni also wanted to complete the task assigned by the Hou Ye as soon as possible and leave the Great Wei Palace as soon as possible. ”
To get the Empress Dowager out of the palace, I have to think about it, and I have to have a plan.
This night, Nangong Ni and I met secretly, and after she left quietly, I have been worried about this matter.
Getting the Jade Qilin is the reason why I stayed in this palace after I woke up.
Where is Xiao Jingqi? What's he doing.
I was silent in Zhaoyang Palace for a day, and my mind was always worried. Suddenly thought that two days later is the Midyear Festival, the Empress Dowager will definitely go to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors, that day, maybe it is a good time to sneak into the Taihua Hall to get the jade unicorn.
At this time, the only ones who can help me are Nangong Ni, Yi'er, as for Xiao Jingqi, he still doesn't show up, the court is arresting him, but he hasn't given up yet.

Cai Yue cautiously walked in front of Feng Zhaoyi with the tray, put down the tray, and said respectfully, "Zhaoyi Niangniang, your moisturizing ointment slave is ready." ”
Feng Zhaoyi glanced at the copper bowl placed on the tray, and the crystal clear cream in the copper bowl made people feel dazzling when they saw it.
Feng Zhaoyi smiled faintly and said to Cai Yue, "Wait for the palace to put it on." ”
After Cai Yue responded, when Feng Zhaoyi lay down, she slowly applied the crystal paste in the copper bowl to her face.
After applying the cream, Cai Yue stayed by Feng Zhaoyi's side until a pillar of incense washed Feng Zhaoyi's face.
Feng Zhaoyi looked carefully at the face in the bronze mirror, which was extremely white and tender, and she was in a very good mood.
"Cai Yue, I really can't imagine that you will still have such a beautiful face, this palace really underestimates you, and in the future, I will serve you by my side in the future, and the face of this palace will be handed over to you, and this palace will not treat you badly."
Feng Zhaoyi turned around and said to Caiyue with an extremely excited expression.
Cai Yue was busy, "Thank you Niangniang, Cai Yue will definitely serve Niangniang well." ”
Feng Zhaoyi said idly, "Serve the palace to dress up, the palace is going to see the emperor." ”
After carefully serving Feng Zhaoyi's makeup, Cai Yue followed her to the Emperor's Taiji Palace.
The guards of the Taiji Hall hurriedly said after seeing Feng Zhaoyi coming to salute, "The emperor is busy, Zhaoyi Niangniang is waiting, let the servants go and report it." ”
Feng Zhaoyi was in a good mood, didn't care about the slackness of the minions, and raised his hand lightly, "Go and report." ”
But when the slave came out, he said, "The emperor is busy with government affairs, let Niangniang go back." ”
Feng Zhaoyi's face suddenly darkened, but she didn't show anger, but smiled again and said, "Then Gonggong Lao said to the emperor that the palace made dinner in Yong'an Palace tonight, and waited for the emperor to come and eat it." ”
The waiter nodded back to her hurriedly, "The slave must return, Zhaoyi Niangniang can rest assured." ”
Feng Zhaoyi smiled again, and when she turned around, the smile suddenly stiffened, and her face became gloomy.
Inside the Tai Chi Temple.
Gonggong Zhou stood quietly on the side, watching the emperor review the recital, and wanted to advise the emperor for refusing Feng Zhaoyi's visit just now.
In the past few days, the emperor has not let the harem maiden sleep after the disappearance of the concubine in the Yinshan Palace, and has not been close to the woman, which is not good.
When Qian'er brought the tea, Gonggong Zhou caught it and then put it lightly in front of the emperor, and said quietly, "Your Majesty, Zhaoyi Niangniang's request, should the emperor grant it." ”
Tuoba Hong looked up at Grandpa Zhou, his heart sank, and he didn't hear until he arrived, "Do I have to go?" ”
Gonggong Zhou nodded with a smile, "If the emperor is not close to other concubines, it will make those princes have strange thoughts in their hearts, which is not good for the emperor, and the emperor still needs the support of the princes at this time." ”
Tuoba Hong's mind flashed the Empress Dowager's joy for King Xianyang, and only after being depressed did he say indifferently, "Okay, I'll go tonight." ”
~~~~~~~~
The night wind howled, and the palace lights were lit up.
I sat alone in the dormitory, and asked Yinglin to prepare a pot of wine, and drank it slowly by myself.
Seeing me drinking, Ying Lin said beside her, "Master, you are in good health, and you should not drink." ”
I helped me with the jade hairpin that Xiao Jingqi gave me on my bun, and said with a light smile, "It's okay, this palace just drinks a little to warm up your body." ”
Ying Lin hurriedly said, "Then the master will drink less." ”
I pursed my lips and smiled, not listening to her, and drank one and poured another.
The slaves and maids of Zhaoyang Palace have all gone to rest, and I only let Yinglin stay by my side to serve.
Seeing that she was also a little sleepy, I glanced at her and said, "You also go to rest, and the palace will sit by itself." ”
Ying Lin hurriedly said, "Then how can I do it, the slave and maid are still serving by the master's side." ”
I waved my hand, "No, you go and rest." ”
At this time, Yi'er walked in, and said to Yinglin after blessing the ceremony, "Sister Yinglin will go to rest, and the slave will serve the mother." ”
Yinglin glanced at me, then at Yi'er, and said after hesitation, "Then Yi'er, you are so good to take care of the master." ”
After I waited for Yinglin to go out, I glanced at Yi'er, and Yi'er approached me.
My look gave her something was wrong.
I stood up and said to Yi'er very calmly, "Go out of the palace for a while, and you will stay here." ”
Yi'er frowned slightly, "In the middle of the night, Niang Niang wants to go out?" ”
I gave her a cold look, and Yi'er stopped talking.
I put on my cloak and left Zhaoyang Palace alone......
The night in the palace was quiet, and the palace guards only took turns on the main road.
I quietly came to a remote rockery garden, standing under the willow tree at the water's edge, I quietly looked at the water.
From time to time, I heard footsteps behind me, and when I turned around, I saw someone coming.
Someone came to salute me, and I looked at her with a blank face.
She was calm, not as frightened as she had that day, and I reached out and handed her a small packet of things, and she caught it.
I said to her quietly, "Use it on the day of the Midyear Festival." ”
She nodded hurriedly, "Yes, don't worry." ”
A dark smile tugged at the corners of my mouth.
"You have to be careful, if you are discovered, you know what to do......" I told her earnestly.
She hurriedly replied to me again, "The slave knows, don't worry." ”
I returned to Zhaoyang Palace, Yi'er had been waiting for me, and I was relieved to see me come back.
"The slave waits for the mother to go to bed." Yi'er took off my cloak.
"No need, you go to rest, Bengong go to the study and sit." I said softly.
Yi'er was stunned, I don't know why I didn't want to sleep tonight, but she didn't stop me in the end.
I went to the study in the side hall, stood in front of the bookcase, and looked at the painting hanging on the wall.
I looked at the painting of the deep mountains painted by Di Sheng, and I remembered that I went to Yinshan in my mind.
That year, I met with Diesheng on the mountain behind the palace, and the viburnum in that place grew very well. I know what Diesheng meant by this painting, but she was actually commemorating the day I met her.
In that year, Emperor Xianwen Tuoba Hong took Concubine Li Yunyu to Yinshan together, and Di Sheng was with Concubine Li.
And when I met Di Sheng, I wanted her to arrange for me to meet Concubine Li.
Yes, I need to go into the palace, and I need to go to a room in the palace, and that room is the study of the palace.
There are secrets there, there is a bronze door hidden behind the bookshelves.
That was after Li Amaranth and I fell into the abyss, soaked in the cold rock water, exhausted to find the exit, passed through the dark cave, Yongdao, and found a door, and when I came out of that door, it turned out to be the Yinshan Palace.
I discovered the secret and took down the key to open the bronze door behind the bookshelf wall. Fortunately, Concubine Li was passing by the study at that time, and she was surprised to see me, she helped me and Li Amaranth secretly send out of the palace.
I didn't find the medicine I needed, the White Worm Captain, but I did find that there was a space in the ground under the Yin Mountain Palace, which made me feel extremely mysterious.
I was drawn to the deep underground caverns, and I wanted to figure out what's underneath.
I made an appointment with Saucer Sheng, and wanted Concubine Li to help me enter again through the bronze door behind the bookshelf in the study of the palace.
But after Di Sheng asked me to disguise myself as a palace maid and mix in the palace, my strange appearance made the court guards find out, I didn't have time to go to the study, I was surrounded by the forbidden army, and I had to quietly throw the ink square to Concubine Li in a panic.
On that occasion, I was injured in the struggle to escape, and I quickly left Yinshan.
Concubine Li later returned to the palace and brought my Mo Fang back to the palace.
After I recovered from my injuries, late one night, I put on my night clothes and veiled myself and visited Concubine Li's Yaohua Palace at night, wanting to ask her if she wanted to return my Mofang.
