The Imperial City is the most special place in the Capital of Gods, and it is also the most heavily guarded place. It is basically impossible to enter the palace unknowingly. Because an Imperial City must be in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, even at this moment.
His Majesty the Emperor would temporarily withdraw his gaze due to sadness, but thinking about it, Chen Chao wanted to enter the palace to see the Empress for the last time, which was almost impossible.
Because when His Majesty the Emperor returns his gaze, his gaze will definitely fall on that palace.
Even with Xie Nandu's status, it is difficult for him to enter the palace quietly.
But she thought about it and did not refuse Chen Chao's request. She quickly nodded and said, "Okay."
In the pouring rain, she looked so calm.
He didn't ask Chen Chao what he thought, nor did he tell him how difficult this matter would be.
Two people went to Xie's.
Xie Nandu walked in through the side door holding an umbrella, while Chen Chao stood outside under the eaves, silent.
Mrs. Xie also hung up white lanterns. Looking from here, not only the two lanterns at the door have turned white, in fact, even the lanterns further inside have turned white.
Chen Chao didn't know what this meant, but he was still very touched when he looked at the white lantern.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xie Nandu came out, still holding an umbrella and looking very normal. Not long after, a carriage came from a distance and stopped at the corner of the street.
Xie Nandu walked towards the carriage, followed closely by Chen Chao.
The steward still had the same old face, he was an acquaintance. He looked at Chen Chao, smiled and said in a flattering manner, "Commander Chen."
Chen Chao looked at him and nodded politely.
Then the two of them walked into the carriage and soon saw two sets of clothes in the carriage.
These are the clothes from the palace clothes bureau.
As strong as Mr. Xie, he couldn't blatantly send people into the palace, so he could only pretend.
Even so, in fact, Xie has already taken a huge risk. This cannot be erased by a simple favor, but more importantly, Xie is now willing to take on such a scenery for Chen Chao.
It is enough to explain many, many things.
After winning the martial arts test, Chen Chao became something different in the eyes of every family in the city.
The carriage drove slowly down the long street, heading towards the Imperial City despite the heavy rain. Now everyone was looking at the Imperial City, but Xie had a way to avoid those eyes and came to the front of the Imperial City.
It was a small door. It looked like a small door where the chamberlains usually went out of the palace to purchase supplies. This place was extremely remote from the core of the imperial city. Except for the chamberlains who went in and out of the palace, few people would come here.
Stepping out of the carriage, Chen Chao and Xie Nan entered the small door.
An old eunuch glanced at the two of them, and immediately someone brought two large baskets of clothes. The two silently picked up the two bamboo baskets, and then followed the old eunuch and walked inside.
No one was holding an umbrella at this moment, but no raindrops fell on the two of them, because at this moment, both of them were wearing two extremely large bamboo hats.
It's enough to cover the bodies of two people.
Those are really two very spacious bamboo hats.
There was white cloth floating on it.
But it soon got wet from the rain.
…
…
The two of them followed the old eunuch and met many palace servants with their heads lowered and red eyes. They were in a bad mood. It was definitely not because of the heavy rain today.
The bells had stopped ringing long ago, but along the way, we could still hear a lot of crying.
The sounds were not loud, but they reached the ears of the two people clearly.
Chen Chao looked a little unhappy when he heard these voices.
However, the old eunuch remained silent and walked in front, neither fast nor slow, as if he had no emotion towards the sounds.
I don’t know how long it took, but the old eunuch suddenly stopped. Not far ahead, I don’t know when a body appeared.
Shadow, it is an ordinary gray sea blue, wearing a gray hat.
That's a nun.
A very ordinary nun.
A little old-fashioned, but you can still see a bit of charm between his eyebrows.
But if you look carefully, you can see that there are many similarities between the nun's eyebrows and that of the deceased queen.
All the big shots in Shendu know that the Queen has a sister who is also the daughter of the Northern General. When His Majesty the Emperor raised his army, this sister spread a lot of news in Shendu.
She also helped His Majesty the Emperor a lot, but after Emperor Liang entered the capital, she refused those rewards and chose to become a monk in a nunnery outside the capital. Perhaps by doing so, the general's legitimate son was placed under house arrest.
Because of this, but no matter what, it is also true that this person never came to the divine capital again after entering the nunnery.
But now that the Queen has passed away, no matter how much disagreement she has with His Majesty the Emperor, she should come here at this moment.
The old eunuch saluted the nun seriously and said nothing.
The nun originally just raised her eyes to glance at the old eunuch, then saw Xie Nandu and Chen Chao. Looking at the faces that were obviously girls, the nun said coldly, "She just died, so you guys have lost all rules?"
When the Empress was alive, she was basically in charge of the entire palace. Thinking about today's day and seeing outsiders entering the palace today, the nun was naturally a little angry.
The old eunuch's face turned a little pale.
But before he could speak, Xie Nandu took a step forward, lifted up his sleeves, and revealed the jade bracelet given by the Queen.
Looking at the jade bracelet, the nun's mood changed again and again.
Finally, she looked at the jade bracelet and said with some disbelief, "She actually gave this to you!"
After hearing this, the old eunuch didn't understand why, so he quickly walked up and whispered to the nun.
After a moment, her expression changed again, she looked at Xie Nandu and said, "So you are that girl."
<
br> Nowadays, the city of God is very stormy. Naturally, they have all heard of Xie Nandu’s name. Even if this nun is devoted to practicing in that nunnery, they naturally know a little bit about it.
But she also heard that the boy Xie Nandu liked was not a certain royal family member, but the boy named Chen Chao.
The nun looked at Xie Nandu, then raised her head to look at Chen Chao. After a moment of silence, she shook her head, and then motioned to the old eunuch and the two people to leave.
The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and left with the two people.
I don’t know how long they walked, but the two of them seemed to have gone to a more remote part of the imperial city.
"That's your sister."
Xie Nandu suddenly spoke, she also knew about that matter.
It's just that the Queen has more than one sister, and she also heard from Chen Chao about what happened before.
What is the relationship between the Queen's two sisters?
Chen Chao said, "She has a bad relationship with my mother."
When his mother was brought into the palace, no one in the mansion looked kindly on her because she was an illegitimate daughter. Only the Queen was kind to his mother.
And the care between the other so-called sister and her mother can be said to be extremely poor.
"Do you know the reason why this man moved out of the capital of God to become a monk?" Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao.
Chen Chao shook his head, he didn't know these things.
Xie Nandu said, "I seem to have guessed something."
She is truly a talented woman, and there are some things that are difficult to hide from her.
…
…
The nun walked towards the palace, and no one dared to stop her along the way.
Not many people knew her, but everyone knew that she was a nun. Naturally, the only nun who could appear in the palace at this time was her.
The queen's sister.
Looking at those pale lanterns, the nun felt a little irritable.
