There is raindrops everywhere, and the sky and the earth are a patchwork of water.
Both inside and outside the palace were immersed in the heavy rain, accompanied by bursts of lightning and thunder, making the palace look particularly gloomy.
However, in the midst of such heavy rain, a small sedan slowly came out from the south gate of the palace.
The sedan bearers were four guards wearing dragon-coated golden armor.
The Panlong Golden Armor is an armor that only the imperial guards are qualified to wear. It is extremely gorgeous and they usually guard the palace.
However, the golden armor of these four guards is slightly different from the golden armor of the guards in the palace.
Because this is a guard's golden armor, and the chest is slightly raised, so it is obviously worn by a woman.
And these four guards are all women.
Even so, when they walked outside the palace, they looked heroic and majestic.
In addition to the four guards carrying the sedan, there was also a personal maid holding a yellow silk umbrella beside the sedan.
This palace maid was dressed in palace clothes and looked very cute. She was escorting this little girl as she walked outside the red palace wall.
On such a rainy night, this group of people were very conspicuous in this rainy night.
However, for some unknown reason, the imperial guards who were originally on duty here were all withdrawn.
The sedan walked thirty meters and then stopped, as if waiting for someone.
Sure enough, within two minutes, a black official sedan slowly approached.
After getting off the sedan, the guards carrying the sedan retreated thirty meters away and stood solemnly, facing all directions.
At this moment, in the rainy night, there were only two sedan chairs left outside the palace wall.
"I thought you wouldn't come."
The person in the black sedan said with a somewhat mocking tone.
"I didn't plan to come at all. If it weren't for Yu'er, I would never want to see you in my life."
A woman's voice came from the sedan. It was very beautiful, soft and weak, but it also had a bit of anger.
"Haha, Her Royal Highness the Princess has a good temper. Anyway, Yu'er is in danger now. It's up to you to save her."
"Asshole, I entrusted Yu'er to you, but you trained him to be like this, and now you still say such things, do you still want to be embarrassed?"
Suddenly, the princess in the sedan chair became furious.
"Yurou, are you blaming me? Haha, what qualifications do you have to blame me? He has been without a mother since he was a child, so I can only love him even more. As a father, I was wrong? But as a mother, how can you do your best as a mother?
Duty?"
The man in the sedan drank.
Immediately, the guards around him were alerted, and they couldn't help but turn their gazes.
"Shut up! I will handle Yu'er's matter. But if you continue to indulge him like this, I will not let you go. Luo'er, let's go."
The woman in the sedan said.
"promise."
The palace maid waved her hand, and it was a guard wearing golden armor who carried the princess slowly towards the palace.
At this moment, the person in the black sedan opened the door of the sedan and walked out.
The heavy rain soaked his clothes, and he remained silent for a long time as he watched the princess's sedan go further and further away.
"Master, we have to leave. The next guard will be here soon."
At this moment, the old housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion hurriedly reminded.
Tuoba Lingyun let out a long sigh, returned to the black sedan, and left here immediately.
The heavy rain is still pouring down, but nothing seems to have happened here.
————————————————————————————
In the palace of Prince Weiyuan, it was raining heavily.
Liu Xia stood in the corridor in the courtyard, hands behind his back, silent.
"Let me go, Liu Xia, you liar, originally said you would bring me here to see the wealth of the Tian family. See for yourself, it's heavy rain outside and light rain inside the house. Your palace is worse than the ruined temple outside."
Dabao came out cursing, with an angry look on his face.
The palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and water is leaking everywhere. Even the corridor in the courtyard is dripping.
"Be patient, and when I take action for you, I will ask people to decorate the palace."
Liu Xia smiled slightly.
At this time, Caiwei came out of Bai Rongxuan's room holding a wooden basin. She stretched out her hand and poured out the water in the basin. She sighed worriedly and said: "Brother, the leakage in the house is terrible. It needs to be given to Brother Bai."
Move the bed."
"Come here."
Liu Xia dragged Dabao and entered the house.
There are bottles and cans everywhere in the house, and now they are making a ticking sound.
When I looked up, the entire roof was leaking, and in large places, it was literally flowing down.
Bai Rongxuan's bed was leaning against the wall, and the mattress was all wet.
Liu Xia and Dabao lifted him up and placed him in the center of the house, where there was no leakage. Then they put up a tarp and settled down.
Seeing this, Liu Xia couldn't help but smile and said: "This emperor is cheating me too much. Just don't build the palace for me, and you won't let me build it myself."
"Brother, I think we should just stop being this prince. It would be so refreshing to travel around the country and do justice in the future. If you don't like anyone, just deal with him. Now, this also depends on the face, and that also depends on the face.
, it’s really unpleasant.”
Caiwei was wiping her fiery red hair with a towel and complained.
"Hey, why didn't your senior brother want to go to the rivers and lakes to have fun? It's a pity that once you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea."
Liu Xia walked up behind Caiwei and helped her wipe her hair.
He probably got his hair wet just now to protect Bai Rongxuan from the rain.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively."
At this time, Yao Wenxin also entered the room.
"Sister Wen Xin, why aren't you sleeping?"
"Slept well, you see."
Yao Wenxin stretched out his hand and saw that his sleeve was wet.
Liu Xia smiled awkwardly.
"You still have the nerve to laugh."
Yao Wenxin frowned.
"I really don't blame you for this. If you do, it's all that Tuoba Lingyun."
Liu Xia said aggrievedly.
Yao Wenxin then sat by the bed and said, "How long will this emperor want you to shut yourself up and think about it?"
"I don't know. People say that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. Who knows when he will be in a good mood?"
Liu Xia said helplessly.
At this moment, Liu Xia looked at Bai Rongxuan's injury and saw that it had begun to improve, so he felt relieved.
At this time, Caiwei suddenly saw a black box in the corner and opened it immediately. Inside were neatly carved wooden signs.
He asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Oh my god, there's mahjong here?"
Immediately, Dabao came over and picked it up to take a look.
"What is this thing for?"
Caiwei asked curiously.
"Of course it's for fun. We have nothing to do anyway, so let's go for a few laps."
"I don't know how to play."
"Me neither."
Yao Wenxin and Caiwei said.
"It's very simple, can you do it?"
Dabao looked towards Liu Xia.
"Well, neither can I."
Liu Xia smiled awkwardly.
"I'm going to teach you, let's gamble and play. Come on, come on, give out chips, one or two."
The three people looked at Dabao in unison.
"Brother, where did you meet this monk? He is proficient in all kinds of pornography, gambling and drugs."
"Don't look at me. When I met him, he called himself a monk."
"Are you going to have fun or not?"
Dabao frowned and said.
"Let's play. Idle time is idle. Come on, play around twice."
At that moment, the four people moved the table and put up the raincloth, and Dabao began to teach: "This one is called a Yitiao, this one is a handle. This east wind, this is the west wind..."
Then, the sound of mahjong was heard in the room.
Before I knew it, it was already the second day, but the rain showed no intention of stopping.
Dabao sat under Liu Xia's desk, looked at the pile of silver in front of the three of them, and said angrily: "I'll go, you three are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers! The poor monk will lose a lot."
Liu Xia and Yao Wenxin looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
Later, when Dabao saw Caiwei's strange smile, he immediately stood up and said, "I'm sorry, the poor monk forgot that you know how to transmit sounds. This is unfair."
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm willing to admit defeat. You still owe me ten taels of silver."
Caiwei frowned and said.
"You are cheating and won't give me anything."
Dabao said with his arms crossed.
"Sister, look, you are bullying me."
Caiwei said pitifully, shaking Yao Wenxin's arm.
Therefore, Yao Wenxin slowly stretched out his jade hand towards Dabao.
Dabao could only hand the last ten taels of silver in his wallet to Yao Wenxin.
"This is my wife Ben."
"You're a monk, what kind of wife do you want? Let's go and have some fun."
Caiwei took the money bag and collected all the money on the table.
Liu Xia had already stood up to look at Bai Rongxuan's injuries. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "The Emperor is here."
The people in the room were suddenly stunned.
"Why is he here?"
Liu Xia was so shocked that she hurriedly put on her court clothes and ran towards the front yard.
At this moment, the light rain was still falling in the sky. When I arrived in the front yard, I saw the emperor standing under the yellow umbrella inside the gate of the palace, followed by Eunuch Chen. The entire front yard of the palace was under guard by the imperial guards.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Liu Xia hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Get up, I'm feeling very bored in the palace, so I wanted to go out for a walk. I happened to be passing by your palace, so I came in to take a look."
The emperor looked at the surrounding areas of the palace, which were in ruins and repairs were still piled up on one side.
He couldn't help but frowned.
Then, the emperor walked towards the flower hall in the front yard.
He is very familiar with this place. Back then, his residence was here. His residence was not far from here and he often came here.
However, upon entering the flower hall, the emperor was stunned.
In the huge flower hall, all the furnishings have long been empty, except for a few stools with missing arms and legs. The ceiling of the roof is still dripping with rainwater, and the floor of the flower hall is stained with water stains in the east and west.
There was not even a place to sit in the entire flower hall.
Moreover, after entering the palace, I didn't see a single servant.
He couldn't help but drink: "Chen Mo, how did you work as an errand? This palace is already in such a dilapidated state, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Suddenly, people fell to their knees all around.
Chen Mo also hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "The sin of the humble minister deserves ten thousand death, the sin deserves ten thousand death."
"It's just nonsense. You are deliberately letting the foreign ministers see my joke, aren't you?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Eunuch Chen is not to blame for this matter. I had already prepared to repair the palace. I am just thinking about my mistakes behind closed doors, so those people don't dare to come again."
Liu Xia hurriedly came to the rescue for Eunuch Chen.
"You don't need to say more. Here is the decree to remove Huang Yunren from the post of construction director. Three hundred imperial staffs will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for careful investigation. In addition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be ordered to send people to repair the palace without any mistakes."
Chen Mo nodded hurriedly and said: "I will take care of it immediately."
When Liu Xia heard this, he guessed that the emperor had allocated money to repair the palace, but the unlucky eunuch had pocketed it himself.
This is why the palace was in such a state of ruin.
Otherwise, it would not have become this kind of virtue.
"My child, I have wronged you. These slaves are so daring. Five years ago, I allocated a special sum of money to repair the palace. I think it only took five years, and it would not be in such a dilapidated state. If I had known,
I won’t let you live here either.”
The emperor said with a bit of anger and a bit of guilt.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Liu Xia hurriedly knelt down and said.
"stand up."
However, the emperor looked around and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Back then, I often came here. But later, your father left and I was busy with paperwork, so I never came here again. Come on, accompany me around."
"
"According to the decree."
Liu Xia bowed her waist and said.
The size of the palace is actually quite large.
After exiting the door of the flower hall, I walked toward the back.
The emperor's personal entourage never left his side.
"I asked you to shut yourself up and think about your mistakes. Can you blame me in your heart?"
