Chapter 15: The Final Step (2)

Fang Ling smiled slightly, then said goodbye and left, and Zhou Qian sent him all the way to the door, and after he was gone, he suddenly remembered that he forgot how much silver was needed for the consultation fee, and that such a magical pill must be extremely expensive.

However, as long as the mother can get better, even if the family is bankrupt, it is worth it!

was finally able to treat Mrs. Zhou, which meant that the last step of Chen's plan to leave the palace was almost completed.

Although it has not been a few days since the prince's wedding, because of the appearance of Pei Yuandan, the treatment time has been greatly shortened, and Fang Ling is finally relieved.

When he returned to the palace, it was already the hour.

It was the first time for Fang Ling to return to the palace so late, and he also encountered patrolling forbidden troops along the way, but fortunately, he had a waist card on his body, which saved him a lot of trouble.

And when he came to the outside of the Binghua Palace, he suddenly found that the palace gate was actually wide open, and there were two forbidden army guards standing at the door.

Fang Ling was taken aback, and hurriedly walked over, and when he was about to enter the door, the two guards shouted sharply: "Stop!"

Fang Ling was not surprised at all, there were very few guards in this palace who knew him, and he was not reckless enough to rush in directly, but stopped and looked towards the courtyard.

I saw that in the courtyard in front of the hall, in addition to my mother, there was a middle-aged man in his forties.

The man was wearing a black forbidden officer's uniform, a silver-ringed long knife at his waist, a full beard, and a pair of eyes like eagle kites, exuding a faint evil aura all over his body.

"Emperor. Seeing his son standing at the door and being stopped, Su Shi hurriedly called.

Only then did the two guards of the forbidden army suddenly understand that it was the legendary prince at the door, but the two did not show much respect, but each took a step back and bowed slightly.

Fang Ling didn't take the attitude of the two of them to heart, he walked in quickly, and saw his mother give him a look, Fang Ling understood in his heart that Xiao Xue had already hidden.

He was immediately relieved, and at the same time, he vaguely sniffed out the situation, and also recognized this middle-aged man, Cao Wenzhong, the commander of the forbidden army.

In the imperial city, the soldiers guarding the inner and outer palaces belong to the forbidden army, and the power of the commander of the forbidden army is very large, directly obeying the emperor's orders, and there are 100,000 forbidden troops under his command, and the imperial guards are only a small part of them.

Therefore, the gap between Dong Canghai's deputy commander of the imperial guard and the commander of the forbidden army is very large.

Regarding Cao Wenzhong, Fang Ling also heard some from Dong Canghai, and it is said that this person is a relative of Empress Song, so he was promoted all the way here.

Cao Wenzhong bowed slightly, saluted, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Great Prince has been living in the cold palace for a long time, but I didn't expect to come back so late." ”

Fang Ling said calmly: "I'm just idle and bored, go to the palace to breathe, what's the matter, could it be that this also violates the ban in the palace?"

Cao Wenzhong chuckled and said, "How dare I care about the affairs of His Royal Highness the Great Prince? It's just that there are assassins in the palace and I am worried about His Highness's safety." ”

"What, assassin?" Fang Ling exclaimed in surprise, and the premonition in his heart was finally confirmed, and the matter was indeed related to Judd.

Cao Wenzhong said: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Great Prince doesn't know that something big happened in the palace, and just an hour ago, someone found the body of Father-in-law Jia, the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Office. ”
