Looking for an opportunity at night is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it will not be a palace to try your luck Ouchi masters are everywhere, maintaining the stability of the palace, once they perceive the wind and grass, they will inevitably swarm and surge. There are hundreds of nightmares, and they are running around the palace, how can they not be aware of ghosts?

The number of people entering the palace is not more than three, and the light work is not bad. You still need to be careful, but you have to plan everything so far.

According to the normal state of the saint, at least after the next court, he would always stay in the imperial study for a while, and then go for a walk in the imperial garden. Or go to which lady's palace to wander, or stay in the imperial study and never come out.

In any case, the Holy One had a custom that had been indelible for decades, and he would always eat in the imperial dining room at dinner in the evening. or send someone to invite the concubine over, or enjoy it alone, and never move to the palace.

If you find the opportunity to meet Your Majesty during the meal, you will be considered to have completed the first verse. However, even though this section is very difficult to walk, although Zhao Li knows where the imperial dining room is, he can still find a way to go. But how can you walk safely when you are sinful?

In desperation, Zhao Li lay against the wall, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. Since she is the grandmother who knows Ye, she is an old man in the palace, and she must know a lot about this palace.

But she lives in Ziyun Garden, and she hasn't left the palace for many years, how much can she know about this Nuo Palace?

However, she is an old man in the palace, and even if she doesn't know the situation, she can give advice for herself.

Zhao Li immediately thought about it, turned over the wall, and looked left and right with the probe. When he saw that there was no one to do, he fell into the wall and hurried to a remote place. The sun was shining, and when he reached the shade of flowers, fruits and willows, Zhao Li touched his knees with both hands, and after a short rest, he walked east.

Although he has been away from the palace for a few months, he still remembers the road shape of this Ziyun Garden. Zhao Li did not delay for a moment and walked forward. After walking a few miles, I saw a royal residence in Nuoda, which was known to be the imperial residence of His Royal Highness Xiao Zong, who had not been seen for many months. It's just that I don't know if he still lives here, but the prince generally doesn't move easily, unless his status increases.

For example, if he is crowned as a prince, or he is given a knight and a pearl to handle political affairs for the saint, he will move to the middle palace for a period of time.

Zhao Li didn't dare to go any further, for fear of being detected by the guards or being targeted by the big inner masters. However, as far as she knew, Xiao Zong's status among the princes was prominent, and the saint did not attach much importance to him.

Lord Ouchi has always only protected the safety of the Son of Heaven, and if there is any left, he will also take care of the prince a little. Ordinary princes won't pay attention to it, let alone Xiao Zong, just leave a little royal forest army.

And the Imperial Forest Army is mostly protected in front of the palace, and to the east of the palace city, the sergeants are becoming more and more scarce.

Back then, Ye Ji was able to escape safely, and he was also attached to the geographical advantages. At this time, Zhao Li hesitated, secretly thinking that with his light skill of stepping on Yan, as long as he was not hit head-on, he would be able to dodge past without showing a trace

But if it is by chance, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are rushing out, and the consequences will not be good.

I can't listen to the argument like Lu Yunxiang, and I don't know if there is anyone in this thick wall.

The situation was urgent, and Zhao Li didn't dare to delay any longer. It was noon, and the palace maids and eunuchs were taking a lunch break. By noon, everything would have returned to normal. Even in the middle of nowhere, there will be overseers walking around.

Zhao Li didn't have time to think about it, stepped forward, turned around the wall, and it was the main gate of the imperial house. Zhao Li calmed down and stepped on the ground. Luck goes, flashes quickly, and the shadow flows.

Zhao Li glanced sideways, but he didn't see anyone guarding in front of the imperial palace. Although it feels strange, it also avoids the risk of being detected.

After a false alarm, Zhao Li took a reassuring pill and continued to hurry. Suddenly, he saw the line of royal forest troops in front of him, and he was immediately shocked. Sideways to the wall, hesitating against the wall.

I was nervous, thinking that in a few moments, the Royal Forest Army would come here. At that time, he had no door to heaven and no sound to go to earth.

When I turned back and saw that the palace wall was too high, and it was broad daylight, how could I climb straight up? However, if we did not do this, we would definitely be inspected by the Imperial Forest Army. Zhao Li was unable to decide, and suddenly heard a whisper from above, Zhao Li looked up sharply, but saw a handsome person looking down at her.

took a closer look, but it was Xiao Zong, Zhao Li was stunned, and at the last moment, he had to fly up the wall. But the wall was too high, Zhao Li couldn't reach it, and there was a difference of one or three points, but Xiao Zong grabbed his arm.

Xiao Zongwen was weak, and he couldn't pull Zhao Li for a while, so Zhao Li borrowed the force of the wall, his feet against the stone wall, and the force turned on the top. However, he used too much force, and fell straight into Xiao Zong's arms, and fell into the wall with him.

Zhao Li hurriedly transported his strength, landed on his feet first, and took Xiao Zong to stand firm.

However, Zhao Li's ankle was twisted, and he staggered for a while and fell to the ground. Xiao Zong hurriedly squatted down, but he didn't speak, only helped Zhao Li up.

Zhao Li was about to thank him in return, but he heard footsteps outside, it should be the Royal Forest Army patrolling here. At this juncture, there is no room for doubt. Zhao Li closed his mouth and waited for the Imperial Forest Army to get farther away.

But Xiao Zong walked forward without looking back. Zhao Li felt strange for a while, but he could only follow him. I was secretly worried in my heart, how could I meet the Imperial Forest Army for no reason? How could His Royal Highness Xiao Zong lend a helping hand in time? When did he notice him? Why did he not say a word when he saw him?

I haven't seen Xiao Zong in the past few months, and I don't know how he is doing. I must have resented myself in my heart.

Looking at Xiao Zong's thin figure and the vague back, Zhao Li suddenly felt sad. Feeling that he couldn't stand Xiao Zong, he sped up his steps a little, intending to apologize to him in person, but this was by no means a place to talk.

The two avoided the palace guards and walked in the courtyard of the imperial palace. Xiao Zong took Zhao Li to a separate court, then turned to the old house that had not been used for a long time, and closed the door. Go outside and say hello a few more times, so as not to suspect the guards.

Zhao Li stayed in the house, and it was difficult to calm down. Holding the time, I thought that I had to find a way to meet as soon as possible, otherwise everything I had done before would be in vain.

Trekking thousands of miles, risking the paradox of the prince of Kyoto, the danger of being captured by the imperial court soldiers, the difficulty of the iron bridge, and the worry of Brother Xu's body. If you can't get it, you will become benevolent, and your heart will be very uneasy. But he had no choice but to sit and wait for Xiao Zong to come.

Xiao Zong went outside, didn't stay too long, and came back to the old house for a while. When Zhao Li opened the door, he suddenly felt nervous, for fear that an unknown person would break into the house by mistake, so he hid in the dark and watched.

Seeing that the man was standing up, it was Xiao Zong who had just rescued him, so he calmed down and walked out consciously.

When Xiao Zong saw Zhao Li, he deliberately found a bench to sit down on the spot, and didn't say much. He only took out cotton pastries from his arms, plus a small pot of tea, and placed them on the dusty table.

Zhao Li came closer and looked at Xiao Zong. Seeing that his face was expressionless, he took the pastry and put it in his mouth, and said: "Thank you Your Highness for saving me, I don't know how Your Highness has been doing these days. ... Luckily. .”

Xiao Zong still didn't speak, just looked at her. After a while, he said: "County Lord, I still ate this pastry quickly, I must be hungry all the way." ”

Zhao Li felt quite strange, and he hadn't seen it for a long time, but the first sentence was actually this? But it was in line with his consistent temperament of being meticulous and considerate.

He nodded, and continued to eat the pastry in his hand, his cheeks full of powder.

Xiao Zong couldn't help but lift his sleeves to wipe them, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he put down his sleeves. Zhao Li said: "Your Highness, thank you for the righteous release that day, Zhao Li is grateful all his life." If there is no Your Highness. .. I'm afraid Zhao Li will regret it all his life. ”

Xiao Zong suddenly said: "It seems that the road chosen by the county lord and everything he did was what he wanted, and he was worthy of it." What should I do when I come back here today? Is it to disturb the palace, or is there something else? I am not guilty of petitioning. The county lord is in the dust, what can Xiao Zong help, just tell me. ”

When Zhao Li heard this, he felt quite uncomfortable. Thinking that it seemed that this Xiao Zong still had a grudge in his heart, he said to him: "Your Highness, Li'er knows that you are uncomfortable in your heart. Li'er left without permission, refuting the saint's face, and making Your Highness embarrassed. For this reason, Li'er had no choice but to ask His Highness for forgiveness. ”

Xiao Zong said: "The county lord doesn't need to say this. Just tell me what you're going to do. ”

Zhao Lidao thought about it for a while, and didn't know if he would tell Brother Xu everything. This time they want to meet with the saint, and Brother Xu has his own plan, which is to reveal the identity of his Royal Highness.

It is a matter of life and death, if Xiao Zong is not credible, it will definitely lead to a bloody disaster. If you think about it, it's better to be cautious.

Yu Chao Xiao Zong said: "This time I stole into the palace to meet with the saint. Talk to him about the calamities on the rivers and lakes, and hope that His Royal Highness will help. ”

Xiao Zongdao: "What did the county decide to talk to his father?"

Zhao Li said: "In recent months, what has happened on the rivers and lakes. Although His Highness is thousands of miles away, he should have heard of it. ”

Xiao Zongdao: "It turns out that the county lord wants to do the right thing for the heavens, and does he want to intercede for the various factions in the rivers and lakes?"

Zhao Li said: "Li'er just wants these bloody killings to stop here. ”

Xiao Zong said: "The county lord is a guilty person, do you think my father will listen to you? But I also know that your father, King Bianyang, did not obey the decree and sent troops to Jiangnan without authorization, and your father must be in charge of the world of our Xiao family!"

Zhao Liden knelt down and said timidly: "Your Highness is angry, my father was deceived by others to commit such a big crime!" Your Highness will definitely say a few words for my father in front of the saint, and all mistakes are Li'er's fault!"

As he spoke, he burst into tears, but he couldn't stop it. Seeing this, Xiao Zong was a little soft-hearted, but he didn't say soft words, but said: "Among the princes, I am the most disadvantaged. Even if I speak for you, for your father. Father and Emperor will not listen to half a word, and your entry into the palace is tantamount to a moth to a fire.

Although you won't go to jail, you'll be trapped in the palace. Presumably, the county lord has deeply realized that the sins committed by your father are now being done by the will of your father. This layer of window paper in the imperial court has been pierced. One wrong step, one wrong step, one wrong step all the time. ”

Zhao Li said: "There is still room for redemption, as long as you take me to see the saint." Li'er will be able to convince the saints. ”

Xiao Zong smiled and said, "Li'er, so far, when are you going to hide it from me?"

Zhao Li was puzzled: "Your Highness, what does this mean?"

Xiao Zong said: "Li'er, you grew up with me, what you think in your heart, I can see it at a glance." Even if you say it righteously, I don't believe that you returned to the palace alone. ”

Zhao Li stared for a moment, I don't know how Xiao Zong knew. Isn't he really good at hiding it? I was suddenly panicked, and I saw Xiao Zong get closer and said, "Li'er, you stole out of the palace and saw those friends of yours." Coming back to the palace this time, could it be that they didn't come with you?"

Zhao Li said: "None of them came, I came alone." ”

After that, his eyebrows tightened. When Xiao Zong saw it, he smiled again and said, "You came alone? That's a bit strange." ”

Zhao Li said: "What's the strange? I can convince the saint alone, what's the use of them coming?"

Xiao Zong said: "The palace is deep, and the county lord is lucky to be able to go to Ziyun Yuan, do you think you can still see the saint?"
