Chapter 142: Breaking into the Forbidden Palace at Night
The next day, Lang Fei woke up and returned to the main hall to see that everyone was already there. It was no wonder that he went to bed later than everyone else, so naturally he got up a little later.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the two elders ordered their servants to have a breakfast banquet. After the breakfast banquet, and with nothing to do, Lang Fei took Xue Ya and others around Qingniu Town. Every time they came to a familiar place,
He would always tell them about his childhood experiences.
Since it was daytime this time, the town was still lively, with all the shops open for business. Everyone who knew Lang Fei greeted them respectfully. After all, Lang Fei was no longer half of the people in Qingniu Town.
Young man, to the people of Qingniu Town, even an official here is like a phoenix flying on a branch, let alone a man like Lang Fei, a fairy who even the royal family wants to fawn over.
.
Along the way, despite repeated promises, Lang Fei felt that his mouth was dry and his body and mind were exhausted. It was better to fight against others for hundreds of rounds than to consume such energy. It happened that the people in this town were just like the people in the butcher shop.
Aunt Zhang asked Lang Fei to see if he could become an immortal now that his son was almost in his prime. The panicked Lang Fei hurriedly found an excuse and ran away.
In the afternoon, the boy didn't want to take them around anymore. Instead, he dragged Xue Ya and Xiaoyun back to his old house of Lang's family to pay homage to their ancestors, and then went to the back mountain to make breakfast.
The deceased parents visited the grave.
Life in Qingniu Town was leisurely, spending time with the two elders admiring flowers or sightseeing. After staying there for seven or eight days, it was time for Lang Fei to go to bed, so he said goodbye to the elders and explained his intention to leave.
Hearing that it was the prince's business, the two elders did not stop him, but reminded him to be more careful. So under the leadership of Mr. Xu, the group rushed to the capital at lightning speed.
When they arrived in the capital, it was hard to avoid alarming others. They first found a hotel, pretended to be tourists during the day, and took a tour of the capital. At night, the group gathered their energy and took advantage of the dark night to fly from the sky.
He flew over the inner courtyard of the palace, dodged the imperial guards on duty outside, and slowly landed into the East Palace.
After getting off the guard, Mr. Xu winked at everyone, and then led the way to the brightly lit main hall. Lang Fei and the others understood this, and followed Mr. Xu in with their bodies lightened one by one, keeping their voices as low as possible.
When they arrived at the palace gate, the confidant eunuch had already seen that it was Mr. Xu. In the blink of an eye, he saw the group of people behind him. He immediately beamed with joy, uttered a code word inward, and then came out to welcome him, standing aside with a respectful look on his face.
.
Nodding, Mr. Xu didn't even answer. He turned around, glanced at Lang Fei behind him, and stepped into the main palace.
As soon as everyone entered the palace gate, they saw a person hurriedly coming out of the inner palace. He was walking like a dragon and a tiger, and his crown was shining brightly. There was a bit of majesty in his nobility, but there was a bit of inseparable sorrow in his eyes.
Lang Fei recognized that it was the prince. He had not seen him for seven years, but he had aged a lot. When he looked at the prince, the prince also happened to raise his eyes to look at everyone. When he saw that Lang Fei and Xiaoyun's appearance remained the same, he was slightly startled and secretly sighed.
As a person of immortality, he did not dare to act like a prince in front of everyone, so he hurriedly took a few steps, came to Lang Fei, saluted and said: "Li Yan has met Mr. Lang and all of you."
"We haven't seen him for many years, and the prince's demeanor is still as good as before." Nodding at the prince's polite behavior, Lang Fei took the words and said politely.
Li Yan smiled slightly and said: "Where, where, these people who work hard every day are already old, how can they be compared to Mr. Shanglang and your sister, but they have not changed much in seven years. The way of cultivation can really make people...
Youth stays forever."
Hearing this, Lang Fei shook his head. The twists and turns in this process were unknown to outsiders. The two exchanged a few polite words, and Lang Fei introduced the people behind him one by one.
After the greetings were completed one by one, Li Yan turned to everyone and said: "Master Lang, everyone, this is not the place for conversation. Please follow me to the inner hall. Let's discuss the current matters later."
"Okay, Prince, please lead the way." Lang Fei responded and led everyone to follow Li Yan around the screen in the main hall, into the inner palace behind the hall, and to Li Yan's living room.
After everyone was ushered in, everyone sat down, and after the maids had finished serving tea, Li Yanping withdrew the servants, sighed quietly, and went straight to the topic: "This time, the young master has a lot of work to do."
Lang Fei said politely and said: "Now that I have caught up, I will help a bunch of people, which will be beneficial to the country and the people. Furthermore, my adopted father and adopted mother also often praise the prince for being honest and treating them well."
, Now that something like this is happening, I will naturally not sit idly by and ignore it. When I come here this time, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."
Li Yan was overjoyed, stood up, saluted Lang Fei, and said, "Li Yan thanks Mr. Lang for his noble deeds on behalf of the Han people."
"No need to be polite, let's talk about the matter in detail." Lang Fei waved his hand and gestured for him to elaborate on the details.
Glancing at Mr. Xu, Li Yan said: "Mr. Lang, have you heard what Mr. Xu said before and after the incident?" Seeing Lang Fei nod, he added: "The key to Li Yanjue is the elixir, but now I am banned.
There is no way to start an investigation in the East Palace. Seeing the collapse of the government, Zhisi can only feel anxious."
"Well, does your Majesty still take the elixir that the prince mentioned?"
Li Yan nodded and said: "According to the bribed guard, my father is still taking it. He will take one pill after every meal in the royal room. I had previously made an intention to steal one and find out what happened.
What kind of elixir is it? How could one know that the father is closely guarding it. When going to and from court, the elixir box must be carried with him, and the eunuchs and maids serving in the imperial palace are not allowed to take a step closer to the elixir box. Under such circumstances, there is still nothing that can be done to this day.
.”
"If you can't steal, you can always rob." But it was Zhu Ganglie who was eager to try on a whim.
"No, this palace is dotted with outposts and hidden sentries. The royal guards surrounded my father's palace like an iron barrel. Not even a fly could fly out. Even if Mr. Zhu has great powers, if he wants to grab it without alerting the snake,
It's impossible to get the elixir." Seeing the idiot being so reckless, Li Yan hurriedly stopped him.
"What's the problem if you want to steal the elixir? Prince, please rest assured later. Zhu Ganglie and I will go and come back." After saying this, Lang Fei stood up, greeted Xiao Bai'er, and walked out of the door with Zhu Ganglie.
.
"This... Mr. Lang?"
Xue Ya smiled softly and said: "Prince, don't worry. Since the young master said this, he must have his considerations. Don't worry. Please be patient and wait here for a while."
Hearing this, Li Yan glanced at Mr. Xu who looked calm again, and had no choice but to shake his head, sigh softly, and wait in peace.
It is said that Lang Fei and Zhu Ganglie rushed outside the courtyard, took advantage of the dark night and high wind, climbed on the back of Xiao Bai'er's tiger, and flew away from the East Palace in just a few flashes, heading far towards the deep inner palace.
The two men acted vigorously and resolutely. As they spoke, they felt the sky above the harem, but they were in trouble when they looked at the dimly lit palaces below. After all, these two boys were young and did not think things through very carefully. When they came here, they found that they were in a dull mood.
He came like flies, but he couldn't find where the imperial chamber was.
"Here, in such a large palace complex, which one is the imperial palace?" Xiao Bai'er stood in the air, while Lang Fei looked at the palace complex stretching for hundreds of miles below and couldn't help but be speechless.
Zhu Ganglie was also frightened. Although there are many palaces on the peaks of Danmen, it is a quiet fairyland after all. The pavilions and pavilions are well-proportioned, leisurely and freehand. How can they compare with the dense and majestic ones below?
."How about we go down and find someone to ask?"
Lang Fei turned around and slapped him. "We are here to steal elixirs. Do you know how to steal elixirs? We are thieves! Are you a thief who wants to ask for directions? Are you a pig?"
"Then what should we do? If there is no map and no guide, how can we find it? Why not go back first and find out where it is before we come back?"
Lang Fei frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "That's so troublesome. So, you go down and explore first. I think these palaces are occupied by people in the palace, and the living areas should be divided according to their status. After you go down, you can find out
Let’s calculate the truth and falsehood when we get back.”
After hearing this, Zhu Ganglie muttered reluctantly, "Why don't you go? I have to do this kind of hard work." Even though he complained like this, the idiot still got off Xiaobai'er's back and tiptoed over.
At this moment, the palace courtyard was transformed into a stream of light that disappeared into the palace in the blink of an eye.
Lang Fei and Xiao Bai'er waited on the roof for a while, and saw the idiot's head showing up with a sly look. Seeing that there were no patrolling guards in the courtyard, he walked out in a few steps, and with a loud sound, he climbed up the wall and returned.
Next to Lang Fei.
When Zhu Ganglie came to him, he saw that his pigskin face was red and he didn't answer. He looked distracted. Lang Fei was stunned and had to ask: "Who lives in this house?"
"Water lilies."
"...I asked you who lives in the house?"
"...It's the water lily!"
Lang Fei was strange in his heart, secretly thinking that this palace was quite luxuriously decorated, so how could it be a flower room for raising water lilies? After waiting for a while, no idiot explained, Lang Fei had to shake his head to clear away his distracting thoughts, and asked: "Since you said so,
Don’t you think you are the emperor’s imperial chamber?”
Seeing the idiot nodding absentmindedly, Lang Fei had no choice but to urge Xiao Bai'er to fly forward for a moment and arrived at a palace courtyard with a completely different style from the previous one.
Without waiting for Lang Fei to answer, this time the idiot unexpectedly turned over and got off the tiger's back, slid down the courtyard wall, and ran into the hall in a few flashes. Lang Fei, who was looking at him consciously, was stunned, and secretly sighed that the idiot was abnormal, this time
Why aren't you tired anymore?
After still waiting for a moment, the fool turned around. Before Lang Fei could ask a question, he dropped another sentence: "Narcissus!"
Lang Fei was stunned when he heard this. After looking at the architectural style of the palace below for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh. "It's luxurious."
The two continued to move forward, and when they reached a splendid courtyard, Zhu Ganglie went down to investigate. After waiting for a while, he turned around and shouted in a low voice, "Peony."
Lang Fei was stunned, looked at the idiot up and down several times, and said: "Is it possible that this emperor grows flowers? All the palaces built with so much effort and effort to grow flowers are just for growing flowers?"
"Well" Zhu Ganglie spread his hands, looking extremely helpless. Seeing that he had become mute in an instant, Lang Fei glared at him fiercely, waited for him to sit on the back of the tiger, and continued to walk towards the next palace courtyard.
When they reached another place, Zhu Ganglie was about to get off the tiger but was held down by Lang Fei. "Stop now, let me see for myself this time." After saying this, the boy ignored the idiot's astonished eyes and made light of himself.
He jumped down into the inner courtyard, saw no one around him, swayed lightly with his feet, and jumped into the inner hall in a flash.
The red silk was flying and the green gauze was swaying. As soon as the boy entered the palace, he saw a flower in front of him. He was frightened and stopped suddenly. Just when he raised his head to take a look, a faint fragrance of powder came.
"Huh? It smells good." He couldn't help but take a sip. Lang Fei raised his head and looked around. His eyes swept over them one by one, and all he saw were bronze mirrors, red makeup, jade plates, pearls and other women's playthings. "Hmm.
, a woman's room?" Just as this thought arose in my mind, my eyes suddenly saw a translucent gauze curtain decorated with pearls and jade. Under it was a red rosewood and shell-carved landscape bed for a noble concubine, with a person lying on it. No,
To be precise, it is a delicate body. The silk gauze is semi-smooth, and the fragrant shoulders are as tender as crisps; the green scarf is obliquely covered, and the jade feet are as plain as snow; a thin gauze is lightly wrapped around the slender waist, and a hint of wild rice is vaguely exposed.
"Well, don't look at anything inappropriate." He muttered this, but his eyes glanced a few more times. "No wonder that idiot enjoyed it so much. It's so good to have such a sleeping beauty to appreciate it. He also made up a fancy name to fool me." After a while, he replied.
God, this kid looked at him fiercely for a few more times, and then turned around and walked out of the hall to go back to his business of stealing pills.
When he jumped up to the roof and came to Xiao Bai'er, the idiot was grinning at him with his teeth bared. "Brother Fei, how are you? What kind of flower is it?"
"Chrysanthemum!" Lang Fei glanced at him and uttered two words bitterly.
The idiot was startled when he heard this, and his legs suddenly clamped together. The little boy on his crotch was in pain and turned to look at him resentfully.
"Hey, it seems that this is not the upper room. Brother Fei, come up quickly and look for it again." The idiot didn't dare to dwell on the matter anymore, so he quickly changed the subject and called Lang Fei to come up.
"Huh!" With a cold snort, Lang Fei raised his legs and stepped onto the tiger's back. He looked around and frowned again. He turned around and asked, "I have searched so many courtyards and still can't find it. Where is the imperial chamber? Mr.
We cannot continue to search one building after another. If this is the case, we will not be able to search again even at dawn."
"By the way, didn't Li Yan say that the imperial chamber was tightly guarded by the imperial guards? We might as well go find the place where the guards are most densely guarded. I guess that would be where the imperial chamber is." The idiot pondered for a moment, then whispered in Lang Fei's ear.
He said something like this.
"Yeah. That makes sense. Let's go look for it some more." After saying that, he patted the tiger's neck, and Xiao Bai'er got the order and flew away in the air against the wind.
