Inside the Wenhua Hall, the lights were brightly lit, but outside the Wenhua Hall, it was pitch black.
The high palace walls seemed to have swallowed up all the lights in the deep palace. Occasionally, someone carrying a lantern would pass by from a distance. I don’t know if they were patrolling guards or palace people walking around. In this dark place,
In the night, it looks like fireflies gliding around.
Jiang Wan drove away the guards of Wenhua Hall without politeness. He didn't even know which guard the guards here belonged to. However, where Zhu Youjian was, he couldn't help anyone with a sword.
exist.
No one contradicted him, and no one clashed with his people. More than a hundred people from Tingyu Tower were scattered around the Wenhua Hall, forming a large network that seemed sparse but was actually tight, and the end of this network
In the middle is the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Someone hurriedly walked over from a distance, followed closely by a few people who looked like eunuchs. The people guarding Tingyu Tower in Wenhua Hall seemed to not exist in his eyes, and he just walked over.
Heading towards the Wenhua Hall and...
"Stop!"
Several guards came forward to greet him: "Who is it and what is it?"
"Go away, our family has something urgent to report to Jiu Qiansui. If we delay the important matter, I will chop off your heads!"
The visitor ignored the guards' obstruction, directly pushed away the blocking hands and walked up the steps.
The guards who were blocking him all took a step forward and blocked his way with their hands on the hilts of their swords. Beside them, several guards also came closer with their hands on their weapons.
"You are so brave!" shouted a high-pitched voice.
"Silence!" As the machine sounded, Jiang Wan's voice also reached his ears: "There is a discussion in the palace. If you make any more noise, take it down on the spot!"
The light of the lanterns in the hands of the young eunuchs reflected on Jiang Wan's face. Seeing this expressionless face and the long knives of several people around him with exposed blades, the visitor decisively shut his mouth.
"Our family has extremely important matters, please report to Jiu Qiansui, the general, please inform me!"
"The big things are not as big as the things in the palace at the moment. Just wait here!" Jiang Wan glanced at the other party and realized that she did not recognize this person: "Eunuch Wei will naturally come out after the discussion is over!"
The man glanced at Jiang Wan several times, as if trying to remember Jiang Wan's appearance. Jiang Wan shook his head, turned and walked away.
In the Wenhua Hall, there was a loud bang, and then the sound of footsteps, as if someone was walking out. He took a few steps quickly and approached the edge of the hall.
Sure enough, everyone in the Wenhua Hall has settled down. Zhu Youjian is sitting on the chair in the middle with a solemn expression. The important ministers are leaving one by one. Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen are standing beside Zhu Youjian.
, with a respectful look on his face.
Wei Zhongxian whispered a few words to Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian did not speak, but glanced at the door of the hall, then stood up and walked towards Jiang Wan.
"I have arranged a resting place for your majesty. Your majesty expresses my condolences. There are many things to do tomorrow. If you don't get a good rest and become tired, I will definitely die!"
"I appreciate Wei Qing's kindness!" Zhu Youjian's face was still solemn, with no trace of sadness, joy or disgust: "Before the emperor's departure, I said that you are loyal and virtuous and should be entrusted to you. I feel sad in my heart.
, there are many complicated matters in the palace, and you have to take on more important responsibilities, so you should have a good rest. If you are tired, I will feel sorry for you!"
"I am terrified!"
"Wei Qing, there is no need to be afraid. Go and do your business. I have grown up in the palace since I was a child. I am not an outsider. I will stay in Qianqing Palace tonight!"
Before Wei Zhongxian could speak again, Zhu Youjian had already walked out of the palace and told Jiang Wan: "Go to Qianqing Palace!"
Wang Chengen was afraid that Jiang Wan was not familiar with the palace, so he hurriedly walked forward to lead the way. Jiang Wan nodded slightly and made a gesture behind him. The guards immediately gathered around and left Zhu Youjian surrounded.
"Godfather!"
Wei Zhongxian watched this group of people disappear into the darkness of the palace, and did not make a sound for a long time. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly shouted at the bottom of the steps. His body was slightly shaken, and he turned around with an angry look on his face.
"There is a little trouble. One of the girls you asked your son to arrange to serve His Highness King Xin suddenly disappeared. It was difficult to find someone at the last minute, and it was too late to replace someone..."
"Your Majesty, that's His Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian glanced coldly at the eunuch at the foot of the steps: "If you can't handle such a small thing, what's the use of keeping you?"
"No..." The eunuch's face turned pale: "My godfather will give my son a chance. Within two hours, I will definitely find that woman!"
"Give you half an hour. After half an hour, these four women have not appeared outside Qianqing Palace. You can find a rope and hang yourself!"
Wei Zhongxian walked down the steps without even looking at this guy: "If you delay our family's important event, you will die a hundred times, even if it is too many!"
In the distance, Wang Chengen silently led the way. Jiang Wan and four personal guards surrounded Zhu Youjian. The guards around him had serious expressions and their eyes were alert to the surrounding situation.
"Jiang Wan, I am not going back to the palace today!" Zhu Youjian suddenly said, "I will never go back to the palace in the future!"
"I know!" Jiang Wan said in a low voice: "Wherever your Majesty wants to go, you can go. I will definitely be by your side!"
"You already know!" Zhu Youjian muttered, "Actually, if possible, I would rather enter the palace tomorrow. However, the cabinet said that the country cannot live without a king for a day, so I have to live in this palace today. !”
"Are you worried that your Majesty is not safe in the palace?" Jiang Wan said softly: "Your Majesty has one hundred and twenty-four loyal and brave ministers, and more than twenty fire guns. As long as there are no rebellions, assassins will not be able to get close to your Majesty. By my side!"
"You know who I'm worried about!" Zhu Youjian looked at the Qianqing Palace in the distance, where the outline had appeared faintly: "Jiang Qing's family, if you can allow me to sleep peacefully and well, I will remember you. achievement!"
Jiang Wan nodded silently, took a few steps forward, and gave a few low instructions to the guards. Immediately, two small teams came out of the team and rushed into the Qianqing Palace.
When Zhu Youjian arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, all the maids and eunuchs in Qianqing Palace were driven out without these two teams of guards. Jiang Wan was still worried, and two more teams were behind the empty Qianqing Palace. I searched everything to make sure there was no outsider here.
"My lord, I'll be waiting around to wait for your majesty to rest. I'll leave it to you!"
Jiang Wan said to Wang Chengen: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law!"
"Manager Jiang has worked hard!" Wang Chengen nodded and followed Zhu Youjian into the palace.
People in the palace were pushed out one after another, and the palace door was closed tightly. Jiang Wan looked around: "Please be alert, even an ant is not allowed to approach the Qianqing Palace without my permission!"
