The silk book was stunned: "Is there a palace in Seoul?"
King Cheng nodded: "That palace is very secretive. When I was playing in the palace when I was a child, I occasionally heard the emperor's grandmother mention it. Didn't my father go hunting and go to the palace over there?"
The silk book is still puzzled: "Why do we say we are going hunting when we go to the palace?"
King Cheng thought of what Concubine Shu had said to him, and he felt more and more that the whereabouts of Emperor Tianji were too secretive. He could no longer suppress his curiosity, and whispered: "Boshu, you go out with me!"
The silk book asked: "Where is the prince going?"
"Seoul!" King Cheng said in a deep voice.
Silk Shu wanted to stop him, but seeing King Cheng's eyes firm, he had no choice but to nod.
As soon as Prince Cheng and his men left Prince Cheng's Mansion, a dark shadow followed them on the road.
Ji Changan was indeed in Seoul and lived in the palace, but he lived in the lobby in front of the palace.
No one is allowed to enter the palace backyard.
No information is allowed to be sent outside the palace, so Ji Changan can only activate the Eagle Guard to send the letter to King Cheng.
Shen Lin looked around and found that this place was very secretive and there was no possibility of getting out.
"Mr. Ji..." At this moment, Tian Linglong's delicate voice sounded outside the door again.
Shen Lin rolled his eyes helplessly: "Sir, your peach blossom is here again!"
Ji Changan glared at Shen Lin, and Shen Lin had to open the door obediently.
Outside the door, Tian Linglong was wearing a green gauze dress, bright and proud, noble and demure. Standing outside the door, behind her were four women holding four food boxes in their hands.
"Mr. Ji, this is a side dish I made by myself. Let me give it to you to try!" Tian Linglong stepped forward with a smile, "This palace has everything, but because the cook is a local, I'm afraid you won't be used to the cooking taste. I specially cooked a few dishes myself!”
Ji Changan smiled softly and said: "Actually, you don't have to work so hard, Princess. I like to eat Seoul food."
Tian Linglong smiled awkwardly: "Since I made it, you can try it!"
Ji Changan said again: "I have eaten enough, and I may have to disappoint the princess!"
Tian Linglong's face was full of disappointment, and she asked in a low voice: "Can't you even take a taste?"
Ji Changan frowned slightly.
Tian Linglong sighed in her heart and turned to leave.
The maid followed Tian Linglong and left. Looking at the dishes in the hands of the four women, she couldn't help but whisper: "Princess, how could Mr. Ji ruin your feelings like this? Even just one bite!"
"It's okay, there will be such a day!" Tian Linglong tugged on the ribbon on her arm and said quietly.
The maid sighed.
In the evening, Tian Linglong personally delivered food again, this time it was brought in together with the food from the palace.
"You can't be full this time, right?" Tian Linglong smiled softly, took the initiative to place the meals one by one, and handed them to Ji Changan with chopsticks, "Try it quickly. This is something I made new in the evening. It's better than the ones at noon. Even more delicious!”
Looking at the table of delicious and delicious food, and looking at Tian Linglong's attentive smile, Ji Changan couldn't refuse, so he took the chopsticks and took a bite.
Tian Linglong couldn't hide the joy on her face and looked at Ji Changan expectantly.
Ji Changan frowned slightly while chewing.
Tian Linglong's heart suddenly rose, and she asked in a low voice: "But it doesn't suit your taste?"
Ji Changan put down his chopsticks: "Not bad!"
Tian Linglong whispered: "You can tell me what flavor you like!"
Ji Changan raised his eyes and looked at Tian Linglong calmly: "Princess Tian, you did not do these menial tasks, and the princess does not have to wrong herself so much for me."
Ji Changan took a few bites and said he was full.
Tian Linglong was put away.
"The emperor has been in the inner courtyard these past few days and has not left the house. Does Princess Tian know what the emperor is busy with?" Ji Changan asked, wiping the corners of his mouth.
Tian Linglong then cheered up and said: "The emperor has been staying behind closed doors these days. He goes to the crabapple forest every day!"
Ji Changan wanted to ask something else, but suddenly there were several noises outside.
Dashan came in and said in a low voice: "Sir, we dragged out a few guards from the inner courtyard. I don't know what happened!"
Tian Linglong quickly said: "Maybe something happened in the backyard, I'll go take a look!"
After Tian Linglong finished speaking, she left immediately.
After Tian Linglong left, Ji Changan looked out through the window and saw the emperor's personal guards pulling out several guards. One of the guards Ji Changan knew was the black man who received Song Tuanyuan and Lu San that day.
Armored guard Chen San.
The black armored guard had flowers on his buttocks and was being dragged while shouting that he was wronged.
Ji Changan frowned. It seemed that the emperor might have noticed something strange about the crabapple tree!
Sure enough, at night, the entire palace was under martial law. Even Ji Changan could not leave the courtyard where he was, but only Tian Linglong could enter and leave Ji Changan's courtyard.
Tian Linglong still likes to cook some dishes and send them to her. Although Ji Changan doesn't like to eat them, she only eats a little each time and leaves more than half, but she still enjoys it.
One day, Tian Linglong did not deliver food as usual, so Ji Changan guessed that something must have happened in the inner courtyard.
Shen Lin hurried in and lowered his voice and said: "Master, I finally found out that someone entered the palace last night, but they were all caught by the emperor's secret guards!"
Shen Lin asked in a low voice again: "Master, do you think he is from King Cheng?"
Ji Changan simply counted the days and said quietly: "The days are indeed almost here!"
In the evening, Tian Linglong finally appeared with a food box.
"Is the emperor very busy lately?" Ji Changan asked while eating.
Tian Linglong glanced at the half box of vegetables that Ji Changan had eaten, and couldn't help but feel better. She said quietly: "The backyard is not peaceful recently, but with the emperor's secret guards around, it won't be a big problem!"
Ji Changan put down his chopsticks.
Tian Linglong placed a plate of crispy pork in front of Ji Changan, "Try this, I fried it for a long time, it's delicious!"
Ji Changan had to eat one piece.
Seeing that Ji Changan's expression was still so cold, Tian Linglong felt depressed and said quietly: "Someone entered the inner courtyard today. Although the person is dead, the emperor is in a very bad mood. Be careful!"
Ji Changan was stunned. The emperor was in a bad mood. Why should he be careful?
In the evening, the emperor's father-in-law came to deliver the imperial edict, asking Ji Changan to play chess in the backyard.
Ji Changan had long wanted to visit the backyard and immediately agreed to go.
Eunuch Zhang walked forward with a lantern. In the huge backyard of the palace, only Ji Changan and Eunuch Zhang were there.
Eunuch Zhang took Ji Changan to a house and whispered: "We're here!"
Ji Changan looked up and found that the room where the emperor lived was the queen's bedroom.
