Chapter 136: The Empress
After Lin Chunxi came out of the restaurant, he took a detour back to the inn, and just explained the things of the night to a few people, and before he could elaborate, the shopkeeper hurriedly ran upstairs, found Lin Chunxi, and said in a panic, "Shaoxia, go down and take a look, someone is here to find you, I can tell you, it looks like a person in the palace, you have to deal with it carefully." , Lin Chunxi was stunned, at the beginning he thought it was Li Shanyuan's person, but after thinking about it, he had just come back from him, and if he was looking for himself, he should also be a person from the prince's mansion, not someone from the palace, I am afraid that something is wrong, Lin Chunxi hurriedly explained a few words, told a few junior brothers the location and task of the evening gathering, and told them that if he failed to return on time, he would go to the meeting place to wait for him first, and when he finished cooking, he rushed over to meet, and everyone received the order and said yes.
Subsequently, Lin Chunxi followed the shopkeeper downstairs, as soon as he turned the stairs, Lin Chunxi saw a person dressed as a palace eunuch sitting at the entrance of the inn, and there were several guards dressed in forbidden army costumes standing next to him, looking very arrogant and domineering, and the seats around him were also emptied by them, and the guests who had been waiting for the wine and food to be served were all driven away by these people, and the store dared not speak out, as long as the guests were compensated according to the price, but they did not dare to annoy the ancestors from these imperial cities.
The father-in-law who led the team saw Lin Chunxi and greeted him unexpectedly, with a smile on his face, "Little chivalrous guest, you can wait for you, come with me, the master is still waiting to see you." Although a few people did not come over to touch Lin Chunxi, but looking at the momentum, Lin Chunxi couldn't help but say no, no wonder, the people in this palace are domineering, especially the people who serve the royal family, to the people, where is there any politeness at all, ordinary people are too late to hide, no one dares to come over to join in the fun, they all hide far away, but they can't stop whispering all night, I don't know if this young man is a blessing or a curse to be brought to the palace.
Lin Chunxi didn't care, he saluted the father-in-law slightly, and then followed closely, surrounded by many forbidden soldiers and eunuchs in the palace, he left the inn in a hurry, and the group of people was very eye-catching.
Lin Chunxi and others have also been to the palace before, but the place where Li Shanyuan worked when he went, this time it was different, it was surrounded by everyone, and went directly to the inner courtyard of the palace, the father-in-law took Lin Chunxi to a room, motioned for him to sit down and wait for a while, and then after a while, a person came out of the other door of the room, and he was also dressed as a eunuch in the palace, but he looked more imposing than the previous eunuchs, and his clothes were also very different, I saw that this person's eyelids drooped slightly, his face was pale, and his face was more or less wrinkled, but it was still difficult to hide his pure inner family Taoism, this person also looked Lin Chunxi up and down, and then nodded slightly, without any expression on his face, pointed to the door he walked in when he came in, and motioned to go in with him, Lin Chunxi did not hesitate, stood up and walked out with the eunuch, then he found that behind the room he was staying in was a large courtyard, and after passing through the courtyard was a narrow path, I don't know where it leads, Lin Chunxi followed behind the eunuch, did not speak all the way, and took it to the end of the road, there was a small door, There were two little eunuchs standing at the door, and after the two saw them coming, they hurriedly trotted over, and said timidly, "Grandpa Hu, you are here, the master is waiting inside", Lin Chunxi heard "Grandpa Hu" Three words, his eyes are bright, he remembered that when he was reading the roster before, the last borrower on it was Gonggong Hu in the palace, could it be the same person, but he saw that this person's martial arts path was in a ruthless vein, and he couldn't figure out why there was such a strong eunuch in the palace, but after thinking about it, this is the palace of Wu Guo, where the masters are like clouds, and it is not strange that there is a eunuch who has good kung fu, but he doesn't know who the Gonggong Hu in front of him was instructed by whom, and what is the reason for calling him。
Gonggong Hu took Lin Chunxi and walked slowly into this small door, inside is a small courtyard, there is a small pavilion in the courtyard, a woman sits in the pavilion, behind him are two palace maids dressed as people, the woman is printed with tea in the hall, there are a few plates of pastries on the table, the woman did not look up at Lin Chunxi, but is still silently drinking tea. 3800
Hu Gonggong asked Lin Chunxi to stop, and then he walked in front of the woman, respectfully bowed slightly, and then whispered a few times, the woman raised her head, looked at Lin Chunxi carefully, and then waved her hand, the two palace maids immediately left the courtyard with interest, only the woman and Hu Gonggong and Lin Chunxi were left in the pavilion, the courtyard was very quiet, although it was full of flowers and plants, but there was no sound of insects chirping nearby, and there were no birds flying, I don't know if it was intentional or for some special reason. Hu Gonggong signaled Lin Chunxi to come over, and then said to him, "Don't you hurry up to meet the queen."
After Lin Chunxi heard this, he was shocked, Empress Wu would actually arrange for herself to come here for a secret meeting, there must be something important to discuss, Lin Chunxi was slightly stunned, and then immediately sobered up, and made a big salute to the woman in front of her, the woman looked at Lin Chunxi carefully, did not speak, and then continued to drink tea, and put a piece of jujube cake in her mouth, and tasted it carefully, as if no one appeared in front of her at all, with a calm look, without any waves on her face. Lin Chunxi knew that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him, but because of the identity of the other party, it was not easy to attack, so he was still waiting on the side.
After about half a burnt of incense, the woman raised her hand slightly and motioned for Lin Chunxi to come over, and then Gonggong Hu came over and moved a chair for Lin Chunxi to sit down, and then he still stood behind the woman without making a sound.
"You are the master invited by the prince, oh yes, what's it called, Lin Chunxi, right?", the queen suddenly opened her mouth.
Lin Chunxi replied unhurriedly, "It was here that Lin Chunxi met the queen."
