I saw that although his steps looked slow, he actually came to the desk not far away, saluted slowly, and then said loudly: "Cao Qiuhai see Your Majesty!"

"No courtesy!" Zhengde looked at Cao Qiuhai and saw that he was flat, so he asked, "This time you came to see me, but did the queen mother have any errands?"

"Back to Your Majesty! Yes!" Cao Qiuhai said without humility or arrogance, "The Queen Mother has an order, and she wants the ministers to come here to take the painting of the first emperor and bring it back to Cining Palace, and her old man should take a good look at it!"

"Father's painting?" Zhengde couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, in fact, the last painting, he was going to open it when he got his hands on it, but then he went to the leopard room to play, and he forgot about it, as for where this painting is now, he doesn't know!

What's more, he didn't expect this painting to come at this time, and he couldn't help but be confused, and he couldn't figure out where he had any posthumous paintings of the first emperor!

"Yes, I beg Your Majesty to grant it to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will bring it back to Cining Palace, so that you can return to the Queen Mother!" Cao Qiuhai nodded and said.

"But I don't know which one the queen mother wants!" Zhengde said, "I have a few paintings of my father here, all of which were scribbled to me by my father when he was interested!

Cao Qiuhai realized that Zhengde didn't remember what painting it was, and immediately said: "It was the one that His Majesty collected from His Royal Highness King An on the platform some time ago!"

"Uncle An's one?" Zhengde then understood, couldn't help but use his brain, slowly thought about the whereabouts of this painting, thought for a long time, and found that he really didn't know where to go, and had to say, "This, that one After I confiscated it, I was going to look at it carefully, after all, there are not many serious paintings of my father, and I don't have a few here! But then I didn't know where to put this painting, and I slowly forgot about it!"

"Ah, this ......" Cao Qiuhai didn't expect that the final reply he got turned out to be this reply, and he couldn't help but stand on the spot.

Zhengde thought that Empress Dowager Zhang missed the first emperor and wanted to see things and people, so he couldn't help but say: "But Cao Qiuhai, you don't have to worry, I still have two paintings left by my father here!"

An ode to mountains and rivers, and a night rain in Bauhinia City, are all rare masterpieces of my father, I will order someone to find them, and hand them over to you to take back to the queen mother!"

While speaking, Zhengde was about to tell Qiu Ju to pick up the painting, but Cao Qiuhai said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty! The Queen Mother specified that she wanted the painting that was confiscated from His Royal Highness King An!

"Oh, why is that?" Zhengde was also quite strange, could it be that one painting, is there anything different? or the one that was awarded to Uncle An, is the best painting of his father?

"The minister only knows that this is the Empress Dowager's decree, and nothing else knows!" Cao Qiuhai naturally knew why Empress Dowager Zhang needed this painting, so he had to bite the bullet and deceive the monarch, so he said.

"That's it! Okay! I sent someone to take you to the place where I usually stay, and if you look for it, you should be able to find that painting too!" Zhengde saw that Cao Qiuhai didn't know, so he couldn't help but nod his head and believing, and immediately turned his head and instructed Qiu Judao, "Qiu Ju, you have been with me all these days, you know where I have been and where I have stayed, right?"

"The old slave knows!" Qiu Ju nodded and said, "The old slave will scatter his hands and will definitely retrieve the painting of the first emperor for His Majesty!"

"Well, when Qiu Ban knows my intentions, then take Cao Aiqing and go quickly!" Zhengde praised Qiu Ju a little, and then sent Qiu Ju and Cao Qiuhai down.

"Yes! Your Majesty retires!" Cao Qiuhai saluted when he heard the words, got up and exited the imperial study.

Ning Xiu'er, who was on the side, saw Cao Qiuhai withdraw, and suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty is ready for me to help you and secretly leave the palace, right?"

"Huh, why is Sister Xiu'er like a roundworm in my belly? I haven't said this yet! You can guess it?"

Talking to Ning Xiu'er alone, Zhengde didn't even use my self-title, he actually used me, it seems that he is really kind to Ning Xiu'er.

"Your Majesty has always wanted to get out of the palace before, even if Liu Gongda presses you with the empress, you also want to make up for the excitement of the Righteous Demon War, I'm not wrong!"

Looking at the emperor in front of her, who seemed to be a younger brother, Ning Xiu'er sighed and said slowly.

"You're smart! Yes, what else?" said Emperor Zhengde, complimenting, and asked again.

"Watching the excitement is Your Majesty's favorite thing to do, not to mention the excitement of the Great War of Righteousness and Demons! In addition, Qiu Ju said that the stupid guy just now, Your Majesty will be surrounded by wolves when he leaves the palace, and there are many gangsters in the rivers and lakes, and he can't say that he wants to take His Majesty to fight and become famous and leave a name! If it is for other more cowardly and timid emperors, I am afraid that I will have to think about bringing a number of guards, and I may not dare to go to the rivers and lakes again! But Your Majesty is unique, the more dangerous it is, the more Your Majesty wants to try! Therefore, Your Majesty is more and more determined to leave the palace!" Ning Xiu'er looked at Emperor Zhengde and slowly analyzed.

"Yes, yes! Sister Xiu'er really knows me best, but sister rest assured, with my martial arts, I will definitely not be bullied in the rivers and lakes!"

Zhengde was like a child, patting his chest and reassuring Ning Xiu'er.

"If you want to go out, I know you can't stop it!" Ning Xiu'er said with a bitter face.

"Hey, hey!" Zhengde couldn't help but grimac, smirked, but didn't say much.

Seeing him like this, Ning Xiu'er couldn't help but glance at him, and said, "But it's really dangerous for you to leave the palace alone, no matter what, I won't agree!"

"But ......" Zhengde couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he heard this, if he was accompanied by a large number of guards, what was the point of going out of the palace by himself, how to experience the rivers and lakes, how to see the rivers and lakes?

"Okay! Don't object, otherwise I won't agree to you!" Ning Xiu'er unceremoniously interrupted Zhengde's words, and said sternly, "Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five Supreme, and you have to deal with the society of the world! Even if you lose a strand of hair, I'm afraid that there are many people in the world who will lose your heads! So I don't want anything else, I also hope that Your Majesty can take good care of yourself!"

Looking at Ning Xiu'er, who was full of determination and seemed to not give an inch, Zhengde couldn't help but sigh and regressed: "This...... I can promise my sister, but ......."

"Don't worry! I will only send people to protect you secretly, and I won't let them protect you! In this way, you have got the experience you want, and your safety is also guaranteed to a certain extent, promise me this, I will find a way to send you out of the palace, otherwise everything will not be discussed!" Ning Xiu'er said firmly.

"Good, good, good!" Zhengde couldn't help but smile, he naturally understood that this palace maid sister, more than anyone else, cared about his own safety, although he didn't want to be followed, but he didn't want to live up to Ning Xiu'er's heart, so he had to say three good words in a row, which was considered to be acceptable.

"That's good!" Ning Xiu'er saw that Zhengde finally agreed, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, her little face was a little red.

When Zhengde saw it, he couldn't help but look a little stupid, and whispered: "Sister, you are so beautiful......"

"Sigh!" Ning Xiu'er couldn't help but turn even redder when she heard this, and said a little shyly, "Okay, I'll go and arrange it, when do you want to leave the palace?"

"The sooner the better! I heard from Liu Gong that the Demon Sect is still confronting Shaolin and Wudang in Weihui, and I can't tell when a big war will start! If I don't go now, it's too late!" At the mention of leaving the palace, Zhengde instantly sobered up, said so, and immediately remembered something, and asked, "But how is my sister going to arrange for me to leave the palace?" And after I leave the palace, if the queen mother and Liu Gong ask, what are you going to do? Don't be punished by the queen mother and Liu Gong because of me!"

"Even if you still have a conscience!" Hearing that Zhengde was worried about herself, Ning Xiu'er was also quite sweet in her heart, and said with relief, "My business, you can rest assured! I am going to go to Zhang Yong for help, he is among the Eight Tigers, he is the most respected one for His Majesty, with his help, if you want to come out of the palace and what happens afterward, you can easily solve it!"

"Zhang Yong?" These Eight Tigers Zhengde naturally understand, and they also know that Ning Xiu'er asked Zhang Yong for help, which is a good choice, and the others led by Liu Jin are all against leaving the palace, if they are taught to know, it is impossible for them to get out!

But Zhang Yong is different, firstly, he has always been a little out of place with Liu Jin and others, and secondly, Zhang Yong is in charge of the 12th regimental battalion, and most of the strength of the Beijing battalion is under his control.

If he supports himself to leave the palace, then even if Liu Jin asks about it, it is impossible to really blame Ning Xiu'er. It's just that Zhengde still has some questions, "Will Zhang Yong support me to leave the palace?"

"Your Majesty rest assured!" Ning Xiu'er nodded and said, "Gonggong Zhang is loyal to His Majesty, even if His Majesty lets him die, he will not hesitate!

"That's good, you go and call him quickly!" Zhengde listened to Ning Xiu'er's words, thought about it silently, and felt that it was the same, so he nodded and agreed.

Ning Xiu'er got Zhengde's consent, and immediately went out of the imperial study to find Zhang Yong!

Originally, Zhang Yong, as the commander of the 12th regiment battalion, was usually in the mansion outside the palace, and he was definitely not in the palace at night.

It's just that Liu Jin came back today, and the civil and military forces jointly attacked, and Zhang Yong, as one of the Eight Tigers, also participated in the previous meeting of the celebrant supervisor.

After the Eight Tigers meeting of the celebrant eunuch, Liu Jin went to Cining Palace to discuss important matters with Empress Dowager Zhang, and Zhang Yong also stayed and discussed with Gao Feng all the time.

The two of them can be regarded as rare upright people among the Eight Tigers!

Although over the years, they have been known as the Eight Tigers to gain power, but Zhang Yong and Gao Feng have rarely participated in it, but they have only done more things within their own hands, and they have not gone too far out of line!

Now the civil and military alliance and attack Liu Jin is really an action against the Eight Tigers, although Zhang Yong and Gao Feng are doing the right thing, they are also afraid of catching fire and being rectified by the civil and military.

So after the two waited for the others to leave, they discussed for a long time in the warm pavilion of the celebrant supervisor, but they did not discuss the reason.

Just when the two of them were worried, a little eunuch outside came to report, saying that Ning Xiu'er had asked Zhang Yong to go to the imperial study in accordance with the holy will.
