That night, Yunzheng and Yueji walked around every corner of the palace.
The other servants didn't know why.
Only Yue Ji vaguely knew that her young lady was doing something mysterious, because she was holding the slender black writing brush, and every time she went to a corner of the palace, she would draw two random sketches.
If there was a slight fluctuation in spiritual power, Yueji really wouldn't be able to detect it.
However, she didn't ask Yunzheng.
Yunzheng was actually arranging mystical formations for Prince Yun's Mansion. As for why she chose tonight, it was because she couldn't sleep tonight and was not in the mood to practice.
…
The next morning.
There were many visitors at the door of Prince Yun's Mansion, half of them wanted to make friends with Prince Yun's Mansion, and the other half wanted to propose marriage to Yunzheng.
However, Prince Yun turned them all away.
"Humph, these snobbish people used to ignore us, Prince Yun's Mansion, but now they can't even reach us!" Old Prince Yun snorted angrily.
Yunzheng stayed in the palace for several days, sometimes taking care of Yun Miao, and sometimes chatting with Old Prince Yun. As for the matter of cultivation, she forgot about it for the time being.
After half a month of living so comfortably, Jiang Yichen came to Prince Yun's Mansion to find Yunzheng.
In the hall.
Yunzheng looked at the elegant young master in front of her and asked straight to the point: "Master Jiang, what do you want from me?"
Jiang Yichen shook his folding fan, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Yunzheng, actually I came to you this time to ask you why you left the Chu Kingdom?"
"To be honest, I have been paying attention to when you will set off..."
"Oh?" Yunzheng raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Yichen touched her eyes that seemed to penetrate people's hearts, covered his mouth and coughed, then smiled awkwardly and said: "I just want to be with you on the road!"
Companion on the road?
Why does this sound like a curse?
Yunzheng declined politely: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid to disappoint you. I'm used to being alone and free, so I will go to the Holy Capital by myself. You'd better find someone else."
As soon as he heard this, Jiang Yichen's handsome face fell, and his disappointment was clearly evident.
"Yunzheng, do you want to think about it again? At least I am a man and I can take care of you along the way."
"I don't need care."
"I can move and lift, and I can do some heavy lifting for you."
"I can do it myself."
"On the way, we will pass through several dangerous areas. If two people are together, they will take care of each other."
"I don't need to be a burden."
"..."
Even if Jiang Yichen spoke until his throat became hoarse, he still couldn't move Yunzheng in the slightest.
This made Jiang Yichen extremely frustrated.
Yunzheng saw Jiang Yichen's dejected look, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him: "You can do it yourself."
"Is it true that I can't go with you?" Jiang Yichen looked at her aggrievedly.
Yunzheng shook his head and explained: "I will go to a place to do some things next. That place is in the opposite direction from the Holy City, so it is inconvenient for me to go with you."
Jiang Yichen felt better immediately after hearing this answer. It turned out that she had something to do, so she refused to go with him.
He thought...
She despises herself!
Jiang Yichen agreed: "Okay, then I will wait for you in the Holy Capital. You must come!"
There was a look of perseverance on Yunzheng's face. She nodded slightly and said, "I will do it."
After Jiang Yichen was sent away, a young eunuch came with an imperial edict, saying that the emperor wanted Xuan Yunzheng to come to the palace to see him.
Yunzheng looked at the slightly unfamiliar little eunuch in front of her, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her eyes filled with a hint of unknown meaning.
"Why haven't I seen you before? Where is Eunuch Lin?"
Eunuch Lin was a popular person around the emperor, and he always asked Eunuch Lin to pass on important matters.
Now, a young eunuch has been replaced.
It has to be doubtful.
When the little eunuch heard this, he slightly tightened his grip on the whisk in his hand. His body trembled a little and his face turned pale.
He just pretended to be calm and said: "Eunuch Lin is not free. He is busy serving the emperor in the palace, so he just sent his servant here."
Yunzheng felt nervous, but it didn't show on her face.
"Then let's go." Yunzheng was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and said to Yue Ji: "You stay in the palace, I will be back later."
Although Yueji was confused, she still obediently agreed.
As soon as the young eunuch left the palace with Yunzheng, Prince Yun appeared.
He asked Yue Ji doubtfully, "Where is Zheng'er?"
Yue Jifu bowed and said, "Returning to the old prince, a eunuch just came to deliver the order, saying that the emperor wants to summon the young lady to the palace."
"Then why don't you follow the lady to the palace?"
"Miss, please ask Yueji not to follow you."
When Prince Yun heard this, he frowned, pondered for a moment, and then waved Yueji to go back to Yunfei Pavilion first.
Royal Palace.
As soon as Yunzheng entered the palace, she felt an inexplicable heaviness, and a faint smell of blood reached the tip of her nose. The imperial guards patrolled the palace as if they were a new group of people.
Moreover, they are patrolled very closely.
After the commander of the Imperial Guard glanced at her, he stepped forward, bowed to her and saluted: "Miss Yun, there has been some unrest in the palace recently. The Emperor has asked his subordinates to come down to protect your safety."
Yunzheng didn't say anything, but glanced at the large group of mighty imperial guards behind the leader, thoughtfully.
The commander of the imperial guard saw her silence and his eyes flickered slightly. He was afraid that she would notice something, and then quickly interrupted her thoughts and said: "Miss Yun, please come down."
Seeing that Yunzheng was still unmoved, the commander of the Imperial Guard secretly gave the young eunuch a look.
The little eunuch trembled, and with a pale face he echoed: "Miss Yun, let's follow the commander to see the emperor!"
Hearing this, Yunzheng chuckled lightly, "Okay."
The commander of the Imperial Guard and the young eunuch exchanged glances with each other, then raised their hands in a "please" gesture.
"Please, Miss Yun."
Yunzheng smiled and nodded slightly.
Along the way, it was almost eerily silent.
The eunuchs and maids who accidentally bumped into them knelt on the ground when they saw them, and lowered their heads very low.
There are still blood stains that have not been cleaned in the gaps between the masonry on the floor.
Seeing this, Yunzheng pretended to be curious and asked: "When did there disappear so many people in this palace?"
The little eunuch lowered his head guiltily.
Compared with the performance of the young eunuch, the commander of the Imperial Guard seemed to be more at ease. He explained with a smile, "It was because the Queen Mother was going to hold a grand banquet, so she summoned many of the servants in the palace, so she
So few people.”
"That's it." Yunzheng looked like he suddenly realized.
When the commander of the Imperial Guard saw her expression, he immediately despised her a lot.
Although it is said that her strength is mysterious and unpredictable, her age and experience show that she is just a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old girl.
I don’t know why the master kept telling him to be careful about her.
