Chapter seven hundred and twentieth, adventure into the palace!
Chapter 726: Adventure into the palace!
"Princess--"
"I've seen the princess--"
"I've seen Princess Changning——"—
Chu Ning walked swaggeringly in the palace forbidden garden, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. All those passing by knelt down and bowed and greeted with sincerity. Although Chu Ning was the eldest princess of the late emperor, her body was filled with Chu's blood, and the Chu's clan elders and the current kings were still in the same family.
Moreover, King Hui now cares for Chu Ning very much and regards her as having already left. Not only did she retain her name and treatment as Princess Changning, but she also allowed her to walk freely inside and outside the palace without interfering. This is a hundred times more lucky than her brothers who were killed or demoted.
Among the crowd, there was a pretty eunuch bowing his head and bent down with a little restrained intention. However, while walking, he kept looking at the winding route of the forbidden area and the guardian power, both light and dark, with the light and darkness.
I am afraid that the entire West Wind Empire, except for the small courtyard where the old gods of the Song family live, is the most difficult to conquer here?
Chu Ning didn't look at those people, nor did she respond to them, and still maintained her previous arrogant and willful temper.
It is said that this move made King Hui's children very dissatisfied, and felt that she didn't know how to restrain herself even when the disaster was coming, and she was extremely stupid. However, King Hui praised her behavior, calling her "frank and straightforward", and forced her daughters to suffer internal injuries.
Chu Ning brought everyone into the harem, where the emperor and concubines, the Empress Dowager of the previous dynasty and others lived. Chu Ning would come from time to time to greet the Empress Dowager and other concubines, so he was very familiar with this area.
The quick pace suddenly stopped, Chu Ning turned around and said to everyone behind him, "I'll pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, you are all waiting outside. I have a Dzi bead that fell on the car. Xiao Anzi, go and help me get it back. That's the gift I want to give to the Empress Dowager."
"Yes." The eunuch with pretty eyebrows responded, turned around and walked outside.
After Chu Ning finished his order, he took his two confidant maids toward the Empress Dowager's Huaqing Palace...
The little eunuch walked in the harem with a quick movement like a ghost. Even the imperial guards who had set up their eyes, he just felt that the man had disappeared when he saw a flash of sight, as if he had disappeared.
Ice Spring Palace.
The location of this palace is not eye-catching, and it looks cold from the outside, like an ice spring, without any smoke.
Most people in the palace are snobbish, and even more so in the palace maids and eunuchs. The more favored the concubines, the more numerous people they will get to curry favor with. In places like Bingquan Palace, except for the elderly in their own palace, there are probably no one who comes to kowtow and greet during festivals.
Bangbangbangbangbangbangbang—
Inside the room, there were crisp and pleasant sounds of wooden fish.
Obviously, the person living in the Bingquan Palace is probably a master who likes to eat vegetarian food and worship Buddha.
Li Muyang's body was hidden in a golden phoenix tree with dense branches and leaves. After calming down and waiting for a while, he found that there was nothing strange around him. Then his body moved and disappeared from the tops of the golden phoenix tree.
Bangbangbang—
The woman wearing palace makeup was closing her eyes and reciting scriptures. Suddenly, she felt a cold wind blowing around her, and there was a feeling of uncomfortable restraint around her body.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a little eunuch wearing a black eunuch uniform standing in front of her, looking at herself thoughtfully.
"Who are you?" Gong Zhuang Beauty asked in a deep voice.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Li Muyang asked in confusion.
"You trespassed into my residence, it is probably because you are afraid of me. Why am I afraid of you?" Gong Zhuangmei shouted angrily. The originally gentle and quiet eyes were angry, and they also had a bit of majestic murderous aura. "Who are you? Why did you break into my residence?"
Li Muyang sighed softly, bowed deeply to the woman, and said, "Muyang has met my aunt."
“—”
The palace beauty was startled first, then looked at Li Muyang with shock on her face, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Are you Li Muyang?"
"I am Li Muyang." Li Muyang nodded and said.
"How did you - you are not - come here?" A shocked expression appeared on the face of the palace liren. Li Muyang was not just Li Muyang, he was still a dragon. This dragon was not in the sky, nor in the distance, but in front of him. What did he run to find out what he did? What purpose did he have?
"I'm asking my aunt a question." Li Muyang looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who looked a little similar to his mother Gongsun Yu, and said.
This woman is called Gongsun Shu. She is the cousin of Li Muyang's mother Gongsun Yu, not the sister of the same father and mother. Gongsun Shu's father Gongsun Haoran and Li Muyang's grandfather Gongsun Haoze are cousins and are also core members of the direct lineage of the Gongsun clan.
The Gongsun family married his mother Gongsun Yu to Lu, and sent a daughter to the Chu Palace to be a concubine for the late emperor. Strangely, Gong Hanshu has always been unloved by the late emperor. Not only did he get the title of a second-rank lady Huarui, he never left a son and half a daughter for the late emperor. Lu's family was plotting against him and the late emperor passed away, so the Gongsun family would naturally be implicated.
However, the difference between the Gongsun clan and the Lu clan is that although they also have core figures as officials in the court, most of their energy is focused on doing business. Moreover, they are the biggest spokespersons of the Chu royal family among the people, and many of the royal business businesses are managed by them.
Therefore, even if the Song and Cui clans wanted to kill all the Lu clans this time, they did not attack the Gongsun clan too much. First, the Gongsun clan did not have any rebellion with the Lu clan. The people of Tiandu did not know whether the Lu clan had rebelled. Is it true that the people of the Song and Cui clans did not know whether the Song and Cui clans had rebelled?
Besides, if the Gongsun family was regarded as the Lu party because of marriage, and their family had a daughter as a concubine in the Chu Palace, would the Chu family betrayal? In addition, the Gongsun family always thought that they had gained the credit of the royal family, and they believed in the principle of opening up money, and they had attracted countless officials to corrupt them. Eliminating the Gongsun family would be detrimental to the stability of the court.
It can be said that the Gongsun clan escaped unscrupulously this time. Except for the several important positions that were taken away, most of their heads were saved.
Besides, there are many businesses in the Chu royal family that are still being looked at by the Gongsun clan. The holy family remains unchanged, and the day of recovery is close.
Li Muyang had always wanted to enter the palace, and after entering the palace, he wanted to have a good conversation with this aunt and find the answer to the question in his heart. He had previously entrusted his thoughts to his most trusted friend Yan Xiangma. But unexpectedly, Song Yu and Song Fuxiao's temporary attack caused Yan Xiangma to be seriously injured and then killed by the family. Li Muyang's plan could only be stranded.
Later, Chu Ning suddenly came up, and Li Muyang knew that the opportunity was coming again. He knew that Chu Ning's enemies, like his enemies, were both Song, Cui, and the current monarch Hui. Chu Ning did not believe that his father was stabbed by Lu Sukong, but unswervingly believed that his uncle killed his father.
Li Muyang discussed with Chu Ning, then pretended to be the guard beside Chu Ning, sneaked into the palace to meet his aunt who had never been masked.
"What does it mean?" Gongsun Shu asked.
"My aunt is in the palace - she looks peaceful?"
"The Emperor took a step earlier and left the waning people to survive. There was probably nothing but Ning Jing. So, what you said is not wrong - I am in the palace and I am indeed peaceful."
"They didn't cause trouble for my aunt?"
"Who will take a weak woman seriously?"
Li Muyang looked at Gongsun Shu with sharp eyes and said, "I want to know why the Lu family collapsed so quickly?"
"What?" Gongsun Shu looked at Li Muyang with a shocked look and asked.
"A hundred generals in a thousand years are talking about our Lu family. What I can't understand is why the Lu family collapsed so quickly? It seems that overnight, those forces that were originally loyal to the Lu family disappeared. They were either eradicated, turned against each other in the face of the battle, or surrendered to protect their lives. But if this is the case, how did the Lu family's reputation be obtained?"
"This is your Lu family's business. What do you ask me, a vassal who lives in the palace, do?" Gongsun Shu then climbed up from the cushion and stood in front of Li Muyang and asked back.
"It is because my aunt is in the inner palace that I want to meet you-" Li Muyang said, "And, my aunt is the bedsider of the late emperor. Can't even see his little intention? If my aunt is so stupid, it would be impossible to live such a peaceful and worry-free life after the late emperor's death. So, what kind of secret is hidden here? Auntie, we are a family, why should we hide it?"
Gongsun Shu avoided Li Muyang's eyes and said, "How can I know the thoughts of the late emperor? He was originally a poor woman who was unpopular, and he had no chance to meet each other on weekdays-"
"It seems that my aunt is still unwilling to tell the truth." Li Muyang said with regret. "What is it? Who manipulated all this behind the scenes? Also, why did Song Yu die? Who killed the people in Yuyuan?"
"Aren't these - aren't you all secretly manipulating them?" Gongsun Shu finally bravely met Li Muyang's eyes and said, "Everyone in and outside the palace says so."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Muyang's mouth and said, "It seems that my aunt has often come into contact with the outside of the palace."
"There will always be some news. After all, I am also from the Gongsun family."
"Gongsun Family--" Li Muyang looked at Gongsun Shu and said, "Grandpa, his old man, is in good health?"
"very good--"
Before Gongsun Shu could finish his words, he had already lost the figure of the young man.
Soon, a subtle sound of footsteps came from outside. Cai Wei, who had been waiting by his side, walked in and said, "Madam, you're going to have a meal."
"Okay. You go first. I will finish reading this "Medicine Buddha Sutra" and then I will go there."
When Cai Momo walked away, a man in black robe walked out from behind the huge Bodhisattva statue. Looking at Gongsun Shu's pale face, he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect him to come here anyway-I knew there would be such a day."
