Most of these buildings are golden and magnificent, completely highlighting the majesty of the imperial power; each palace adopts a strict central axis symmetrical layout, and the palace building itself is also divided into two parts, that is, "the front dynasty and the back bed": the "former dynasty" is the place where the emperor and the concubines govern and hold ceremonies, and the "back bed" is where the emperor and his concubines live and live.

Passing through the Daqing Palace, Emperor Zhao Xu did not deal with official business here, so Ximen Qing walked in the direction of Funing Palace.

Most of these buildings are golden and magnificent, completely highlighting the majesty of the imperial power; each palace adopts a strict central axis symmetrical layout, and the palace building itself is also divided into two parts, that is, "the front dynasty and the back bed": the "former dynasty" is the place where the emperor and the concubines govern and hold ceremonies, and the "back bed" is where the emperor and his concubines live and live.

Passing through the Daqing Palace, Emperor Zhao Xu did not deal with official business here, so Ximen Qing walked in the direction of Funing Palace.

Along the way, Ximenqing noticed something unusual. The eunuchs and palace maids who walked back and forth were not smiling and hurrying, which made the atmosphere in the palace reveal a strangeness. The more Ximenqing walked forward, the stronger this feeling became.

As soon as he came to the gate of Funing Palace, Ximenqing was intercepted by a team of forbidden soldiers, and to Ximenqing's surprise, his waist card did not work, and he was blocked outside the palace gate.

"I just came back from Suzhou, Jiangnan, and I have something important to tell the saint, and you have to stop it!" Ximenqing suppressed the surprise in his heart.

"On the orders of the Holy Lord, no one is allowed to enter the harem these days. The head of the guard said.

"When will the Holy One go to the front hall to work?"

"The Holy Lord is unwell today and is resting in the harem. It seems to be a rhetoric that has been thought of a long time ago, so I don't think about it.

There must be something that the emperor is tired of, and if the emperor goes to the front hall to work, can you, a guard at the door, know about it? Ximenqing deliberately tried to test the situation in the palace to ask this question, and the answer he got showed that the situation of Emperor Zhao Xu was really not optimistic.

"Then tomorrow will the Holy Lord go to the morning pilgrimage? I really have something very important to tell the Holy Lord!" Ximenqing asked again.

"You don't talk too much! How do I know these things as a janitor! You hurry up and leave quickly! Don't block the palace gate!" The head of the capital seemed to feel that he had said a little too much, and he was very impatient to drive Ximen Qing away. However, other people's hearts are not bad, and when Ximenqing turned around, he reminded him: "If you really have something important, go and report it to the Empress Dowager Gao~"

Ximen Qing thought to himself that this was the case, he could restrict the emperor's freedom and not see anyone, except for the Empress Dowager Gao, who else could there be?

It's useless to be anxious now, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. When the night comes, I don't want to go anywhere, I'll go?' Ximenqing thought to himself, 'The walls of the palace can't stop my way. ’

When I returned to my quarters, my room was covered with dust. This mansion was given to Ximenqing by Zhao Xu more than a month ago, but Ximenqing has never lived in it, and this is the first time he has come in.

Seeing that the house was full of dust and spider silk, Ximenqing frowned, shook his head helplessly, and decided in his heart to find an inn to stay overnight.

On the first floor of the inn, Ximenqing deliberately listened to the conversations of the diners, but the result was very disappointed that Ximenqing did not hear a single news from the palace.

The breeze swept away the last clouds of the night. There is only a bright moon left in the impoverished sky, and only when you stare wide-eyed can you faintly see a few stars emitting a dim light, which is the so-called "moon star rare".

Ximenqing sneaked into the palace and swept all the way towards Funing Palace. Passing through the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, there was no one to see, Ximen Qing pursed his lips and flew to a big tree not far away.

Waiting for the forbidden soldiers on patrol to go away, Ximen Qingluo came down and continued to move forward, but his brows were tightened more and more, and the defense in the palace at night was more than twice as strict as before. From the time he entered the palace to here, he had already encountered six teams of forbidden soldiers, and if he had been placed before, he would never have encountered such a situation.

Coming to the gate of Funing Palace again, the guards changed their soldiers, and Ximenqing did not disturb them, and directly restrained his breath and turned over the high wall.

"Chengqian Pavilion, how familiar!" Ximenqing stood in front of an attic, sighed with emotion, and then tiptoed to find it in the palace. Although Ximen Qing came to Funing Palace once, he didn't know where Zhao Xu lived.

This search, Ximenqing was taken aback. Because in the three corners of the Funing Palace, he found that there were masters. After Ximenqing's careful induction, it was deduced that they were all second-rate masters, and one of them even reached the level of the second-rate peak!

Presumably, these three people are the three martial arts masters who came to meet Zhao Xu after his assassination last time. They are the guards of the Empress Dowager Gao, and now they actually live here, Ximen Qing can know with his nose: Isn't this clearly spying on Emperor Zhao Xu!

'This Empress Dowager Gao has really made a lot of money!' Ximenqing felt that the current situation was not optimistic.

In front of a dormitory, Ximenqing found that the lights inside were still there, and the backs of the people inside were very familiar, which should be Emperor Zhao Xu. Fortunately for Ximenqing, it is estimated that Empress Dowager Gao has a lot of trust in the three martial arts masters, so she did not arrange soldiers to guard them here.

Restrain his breath and sneak into the dormitory, where several palace maids live. For the sake of safety, Ximenqing ordered their sleeping holes one after another before heading to the inner hall.

Zhao Xu really hasn't slept soundly in the past few days, and tonight is the same. Turning over many times, still not sleepy, Zhao Xu got up and ordered the maid to take charge of the lamp, and he himself put on his shoes and came to the table.

Zhao Xu read the book for a while, but lost interest, so he sat there alone, looking at the slight light, stunned.

Ten days ago, Zhao Xu sent Sima Bai to attack the Western Xia general Helian Enke at night, and when the news reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Gao, she was furious and did not say a word, and put the emperor Zhao Xu under house arrest in his own dormitory and Funing Palace.

Zhao Xu rubbed his forehead and sighed: "It's been so many days, why hasn't the master come back yet?" There is only one master by his side, Sima Bai, but the Empress Dowager Gao is full of people.

When he was sighing for a long time and being unhappy, Zhao Xu heard a soft "dong dong" sound from the window, and thought it was the wind blowing, but the sound was very rhythmic:

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

There was a pause three times, and then three times, and someone was tapping on the window!

Zhao Xu was extremely excited, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, he hurriedly ran to the window and whispered, "Is it the master?" He was worried that the loud voice would disturb the three martial arts masters.

"It's me. ”

The voice was very familiar, but it was not the master Sima Bai. Although there were only two brief sons, Zhao Xu still heard who was coming: "It's Brother Ximen, come in quickly, be careful, don't be seen by others." ”

The arrival of Ximenqing surprised Zhao Xu and moved him even more. I was surprised that I didn't tell him about it, and he would come over, and I was moved that my brother was in trouble, and he rushed to help~
