The Forbidden City is truly a magical place, and every time you come to it is a different experience.

Xu Ming hid behind the pillars of the pavilion and looked at the Zhongcui Palace that was close at hand, and took a deep breath. "It is understandable that there are masters in Chengqian Palace, after all, it is the dormitory of the thirteen princes. But the crown prince has been stationed in Jinling all the year round, and when he just came back, all the masters under his command were injured by the assassins, there is no reason why there are any very powerful masters in this Zhong Cui Palace!" Xu Ming thought so, held his breath and stared, and pinched his eyes to touch Zhong Cui Palace.

Zhongcui Palace is quite deserted, I think it is because it has not been inhabited for a long time, and the flowers and plants here are not as good as the cloister pavilions in other places. The few lonely flowers trembled in the cold wind, giving Xu Ming the feeling that the prince had been beaten into the cold palace.

As Xu Ming expected: Zhong Cui Palace has few guards, and its strength is not strong. He quickly got inside.

The roads in the palace are crisscrossed, and Xu Ming is half a road idiot, and he quickly got lost in the dark. Fortunately, it was very warm in the palace, and he also lit soothing incense, so that Xu Ming would not be irritable, but he really couldn't find the bedroom of the prince and Chen Yuanyuan. This time when he entered Beijing, the prince did not bring the princess of Liangguo, and the crown prince and concubine stayed in Jinling to temporarily replace the prince to deal with the affairs of Jinling.

Xu Ming shuttled between the corridors and explored most of the rooms in the Zhongcui Palace, but still did not find the bedrooms of the prince and Chen Yuanyuan. Just as Xu Ming was about to continue exploring inside, he suddenly felt a whirlwind of heaven and earth - there was a soft immortal powder in the tranquility incense! Xu Ming held his breath, and while silently reciting the heart purification mantra in his heart, he quickly rushed towards the outside of the Forbidden City. The moment Xu Ming jumped out of the walls of the Forbidden City, he finally lost consciousness and fainted.

"King Chen, Xu Ming is out of the Forbidden City. The thirteen princes in the South Palace were lying on the rocking chair and looking at the moon comfortably, and there was a palace maid standing beside him. "Good work, Elder Sun. The Thirteenth Prince nodded at the old man on the side.

"But the dose of this medicine is a bit large, he fainted as soon as he left the Forbidden City, do you want to ......?"

"Is there something wrong with people?" the thirteenth prince glanced at the palace maid and didn't let Sun Lao finish his words.

No, he fell into a haystack by a stable. ”

The Thirteenth Prince said lightly: "Forget it, let him sleep in the haystack." ”

Sun Lao nodded and retreated.

"Miss Guan, it's okay for you to be a palace maid for a few days!" the young prince looked at Guan Chunuan and smiled.

Guan Chunuan, who was dressed as a palace maid, gritted her teeth: "People have to bow their heads under the eaves, I admit it." But what have you done to my brother!"

Chen Wang looked innocent: "It's not good, you heard it just now, just let him sleep in the haystack, nothing else." Your senior brother broke into the Forbidden City at night, this is a felony of killing the head, and if you don't want to destroy the three clans, won't you be implicated at that time?"

Guan Chunuan looked at the young prince who was smiling harmlessly, and warned him viciously: "If my senior brother is in any danger, I will definitely not let you go!" This threat was extremely weak, and the young prince just smiled.

He looked at her with a cute expression of anger and said, "Guan Xiaogong maid, go and make a quilt for this king!"

"You, don't deceive people too much!" Guan Chunuan looked at King Chen, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames. However, the young man didn't look at her, but said lightly: "This is the duty of a palace maid." Seeing the angry but helpless Princess Ziyang Sect angrily go to the room to make a bed for him, the Thirteenth Prince couldn't help but sigh: "Xu Ming, this kid is really lucky!"

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu. Xu Ming always felt that someone was calling him in the dark, and he struggled to see who was in the dark, but gradually, the darkness swallowed him together. "!" Xu Ming was awakened by a nightmare, and when he sat up, his head collided with the head of the person in front of him, making the fear that Xu Ming had just felt in his dream disappear without a trace in an instant. "Brother Xu, do you see me so excited?" A familiar figure in front of him faced him sideways and rubbed his forehead with his hand. "Money boy?!" Xu Ming saw the person in front of him clearly and shouted in surprise.

As soon as the day dawned, the money boy who had been released from prison found a man in the grass pile on the side of the road. Qian Boy has been a lively master since he was a child, so he walked over to take a look and found Xu Ming sleeping in the haystack.

"I haven't seen you for so long, why is Brother Xu so down? I found a haystack on the side of the road and fell asleep?"

Xu Ming was very embarrassed, it can't be said that there was an accident in the Forbidden City. He scratched his head and pretended to be calm and said, "Unexpectedly, I actually opened a room in an inn. ”

"Which inn are you talking about? Isn't it this stable?" Xu Ming couldn't help but curse in his heart for the garbage name that Mu Yun's family gave to his inn.

Qian Xiaozi didn't tease Xu Ming anymore, but said sincerely: "If Brother Xu has no place to go, it's okay to come and live with me for a few days, it's a place anyway." ”

Xu Ming hurriedly shook his head: "No need, I have a place to go." ”

Qian Boy didn't force it, and the two continued to walk forward.

"Are you going home right away?" Xu Ming asked him.

Qian Boy nodded: "They have been asking people to come to me these days, saying that there is a big deal, but they don't dare to do it, and they want me to go back and make a decision." ”

Xu Ming said "oh": "I didn't expect you to be quite powerful, what kind of big deal, do you mind revealing it to me?"

Qian Boy smiled: "It's okay. It is said that an assassin from the Liang Kingdom died, and he asked us to find a safe place to bury it, saying that there was a lot involved in this, and it was necessary to do it without knowing it. ”

"The assassin of the Liang Kingdom?" Xu Ming sensed that something was wrong: "Shall I go and take a look?"

"If you want to borrow it, just say it, what are you doing around the bush. ”

"I told you all that I had an inn with rooms open. ”

"I understand, I understand. The money boy showed an unfathomable smile that was extremely incommensurate with his age. Xu Ming suddenly wanted to take off his shoes and breathe on Qian Boy's face.

Xu Ming looked at the corpse in front of him and was amazed: Lin Haifeng, the assassin of the Heavenly Bright Moon Tower outside the sky! The master of the Transformation God Realm was lying in front of him at this moment.

Unlike Xu Ming's shock, Qian Boy was very calm, he squatted down and looked at the corpse, and touched it a few times. said to the teenagers next to him: This person should have died yesterday, and only the prince was assassinated yesterday, and this should be the assassin who assassinated the prince.

"However, wasn't it King Ning who assassinated the crown prince?"

Qian Boy shook his head: "We've been doing this for so long, haven't we understood the depth of the capital? ”

Qian Boy looked at one of the teenagers in the group and asked, "Old Wu, who sent this person and when did he send it?"

"It was Xu Runyu, who sent it at noon yesterday. The young man surnamed Wu had a square face and thick eyebrows, "This time Xu Runyu has a lot of money, three hundred taels!"

"Burying a corpse for three hundred taels is really willing. The money boy bowed his head and groaned.

"And do we still make this money?" a short boy asked the money boy weakly. The money boy smiled "hehe": "Earn, why don't you earn!" His smile gradually darkened: "Wealth is in danger!"

"So what are the Liangguo Zheng faction and the traitors going to do?" Xu Ming was lying on the bed of the inn puzzled, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but in the dark he always felt that he was inseparable from this matter, and Guan Chunuan was still in the hands of the Thirteen Princes, if something went wrong with the Thirteen Princes, Guan Chunuan might also be injured because of it. And his cheap sister Chen Yuanyuan was stabbed, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead. Now it's not whether he needs to be involved in this matter or not, it's how he should break the game.

Xu Ming began to think back to the suspense novels, suspense movies and various court dramas he had read in his previous life. But the real world, the real court deceit, is different from the world in the script after all. Xu Ming pondered for a long time, but he couldn't guess even the slightest bit of the purpose and plan of this group of rebels. Xu Ming felt that his IQ had been seriously insulted, and he felt like a fool in the Shangjing incident. "It's a bit of a use for fools!" Xu Ming was finally relieved, he admitted that his IQ was not enough to support his understanding of the conspirator's plans and strategies, and he decided to improve his cultivation first - being a thug and ensuring that he and the people around him would not be harmed, probably the only most useful thing Xu Ming could do right now.

Xu Ming hid in an inn and closed the pass, preparing to impact the Yuanying realm, but the capital was very lively - Emperor Hongzhi's birthday was coming.

Many ministers in the court were divided over whether to hold the emperor's birthday banquet this year. Hubu Shangshu said that in order to fight the epidemic, Jingguo's treasury can no longer support the grand banquet as in previous years, even if the royal treasury is added, it can only be barely managed, and if there is a spring famine, the consequences will be unimaginable. However, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is very much in favor of continuing to hold birthday banquets, first, the founding of the Zijing Dynasty, the emperor's birthday banquet has not stopped, and it is not in accordance with the etiquette law to stop the banquet; second, the birthday banquet is held for the prestige of Jingguo, showing the neighboring countries that Jingguo is still strong even if it is affected by this pandemic, and holding a grand birthday banquet at this time can deter neighboring countries and promote national prestige. The two second-grade officials almost fought in the Taiji Palace, but in the end, Emperor Hongzhi decided that according to the practice of previous years, the birthday banquet was held as usual.

The immortal cultivators in Dajing sent representatives to attend the birthday banquet of Emperor Hongzhi, and there were many monks from all over the city in Shangjing. The princes and princes who were outside also returned to Shangjing one after another, and the huge Forbidden City became lively.

When the third prince, Dongfang Yunlei, came to an inn, the inn was already overcrowded. The little guys were so busy that they almost pointed out the wrong direction to His Royal Highness King Wu. The three princes came to Xu Ming's door under the leadership of Muyun Tuohai. "Brother Xu is still breaking through the retreat, do you want to wait any longer?" Mu Yun Tuohai cautiously looked at the prince with a lazy face in front of him, after all, the royal people are always moody, and their performance cannot be handled by common sense. "It's too late to wait!" the third prince shook his head and stretched out his right hand to push open the door.

"Whew~" Looking at Xu Ming, who was sleeping soundly in front of him and his saliva was about to drip down, even the third prince rarely showed a look of surprise.

"Are you sleeping well at this time?" Dongfang Yunlei wanted to grab Xu Ming's neck and scold him fiercely by the neck of Xu Ming, who was yawning in front of him, but this was not in line with his usual personality. So His Royal Highness King Wu had a smile on his face that seemed to be lacking in everything.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Ming looked at Dongfang Yunlei, "Don't you go to the palace to help organize a banquet, do you have time to come to me?"

"Your sister is injured, why don't you go and take a look?" Dongfang Yunlei asked Xu Ming rhetorically.

"Do I have to tell you that I went to the palace twice and was kicked out?" Xu Ming pouted: "Then I have to be able to get in." ”

"I can take you in. ”

Xu Ming looked at Dongfang Yunlei's eyes. Dongfang Yunlei's eyes were still clear enough to see his heart, and he wasn't joking.
