Chapter 134: Breaking into the East Palace

There are Yao people coming in the capital, but they don’t know how to wear Yao. Even if they are serious, it’s hard to find anything.

It was late at night, and the gates of each palace were already closed. Someone was waiting for Zhen'er at Donghua Gate, and Niu Yu stood at Donghua Gate.

"Wanzhen, you are so bold! The emperor is angry!"

"Why are you angry? You want your father-in-law to wait here. Don't you want to know the result?"

"Oh, you are not afraid of death, go back quickly."

"The situation is not very clear. There is a saying that a Yao man touched the capital, and it is said that he was the leader of the bandit in Dateng Gorge..." Zhen'er said, "I don't know whether it is true or not."

"Then let Master Long live to be careful. It is unsafe outside. In addition, the garrison of the Forbidden City must be strengthened." Niu Yu said, "Let's prepare now... You will come and report it. The emperor knows..."

It was already dawn, and Zhen'er came back from the Qing Palace and came to the East Palace. Her clothes had been changed back to the costumes of the palace maids, so she deliberately went to the imperial kitchen to take a detour.

The tunnel has begun to get lively.

"Aunt, are you here to see the prince's meal?" asked the eunuch in charge of Shangshijian. Zhen'er could only pretend to be here to see the food, so she said, "I'm just taking a look at it casually, my father-in-law doesn't have to worry about me."

Actually, I just take a walk here.

After coming out of the big kitchen, Zhen'er felt something was wrong, so why did the two servants follow her all the time?

"I am a palace maid... don't worry about other people's business..." Zhen'er walked forward, but these two people were also interesting. When they went left, they went left. These people should not recognize the way, but strangely, no one came to stop them. Logically speaking, the prince's Eastern Palace and the Emperor's Ganqing Palace were not together, so they probably became dizzy, but their goal was to follow them.

"Aunt Wan, you are back!" Zhong Ying was waiting outside.

"Girl, why did you get up so early?" Zhen'er grabbed Zhong Ying... and said softly, "The two behind him seem to be unkind. Go and let the prince avoid it. I will lead them to other places." Zhen'er said and went to a place with a lot of people. At this time, it was the time when the court officials went to court. Zhen'er saw those people wearing court uniforms... so he quickly turned around and walked towards the East Palace.

"Aunt, why are you back?" Zhong Ying said.

"Go away quickly and let Liang Fang take the prince to the side house." Zhen'er said softly with his ears. Seeing Zhong Ying running away, Zhen'er suddenly stopped at the entrance of the East Palace.

The two of them stepped up, and one of the older men said, "Aunt, is this the emperor's house?"

"What are you doing?" Zhen'er asked, "Why follow me?"

"We are a delivery man, and we all say we have never seen the emperor's place... so we come and see him." The young man said.

"Yes, this is the emperor's place..." Before Zhen'er could finish her words, she was holding her waist down. It was a small knife, not long, only seven inches long.

"Take us to the emperor's bedroom." said the older man.

Zhen'er took them into the East Palace. It seemed that they were illiterate and had no knowledge, otherwise why didn't they notice any abnormalities? The East Palace was not as large as the Ganqing Palace. Now it was time to perform good shows, Zhen'er walked slowly in. The garrison here was not so strict. After all, it was not the place where the emperor lived, but it was abnormal that there was no one in the yard. Zhen'er took them to the main hall, and the decoration was gorgeous and the area was limited. When the door was closed, they could not escape.

It felt very wrong that old age. I widened my eyes: "This is not the emperor's residence..."

"This is indeed the emperor's residence... Well, the emperor will not be in the bedroom now. He should have been in court by the time, and many people follow him. Moreover, he doesn't come here often, and the emperor has many places to live..."

"Why did you bring us here?" said the young man.

"Because I live... I live next to me, there are servants, palace maids and eunuchs... The emperor rarely comes."

"What about the other eunuchs and palace maids?"

"Maybe they all took part in the mission..." Zhen'er said.

"Kill her..." said the young man, "Let's go somewhere else..."

"This place is like a maze. If you kill him, we can't get out." said the older man.

"Let's hide here." said the young man, "Eat well and live well here. Wait until dark before killing the dog emperor. Are you a palace maid, who is here?"

"No...no one comes...there are many palaces and few people..." Zhen'er said.

"You talked stammeringly," said the older one, "must have not told the truth...take us out..."

They were leaving... Zhen'er was relieved, but her fate was hard to say, but two little thieves.

"Brother... aren't you just here to see the palace?" Zhen'er said, "Don't make a big deal of the noise, otherwise you will be killed if you are discovered by the Imperial Guard."

"We don't want to be known either." said the older man. "Anyway, we are not ready... But if we don't succeed this time, it will be difficult next time. Take us to the emperor's wife's side, and I don't believe that the emperor will not go to his wife."

Zhen'er was escorted by them to the East Palace where the prince lived, except for the prince's residence. The palace walls were long and long, so the two of them were too conspicuous. In fact, they also knew that such outfits in the harem were even more conspicuous. Fortunately, they had just changed into eunuch's clothes in the East Palace.

Walking through the long corridor, there was the Changning Palace where Concubine Zhou lived. The emperor may not come here, but he brought people in like this, but he was afraid that he would cause trouble for Concubine Zhou. The eunuchs and palace maids here would probably not be able to deal with these two people, let alone these two people were obviously coming to assassinate the emperor. But when they took action on the corridor, they were afraid of disturbing others. After all, if such a thing happened, it would be bloody.

After entering Changning Palace, a little eunuch came up: "Why did my aunt come here?"

"Have the Empress got up?" Zhen'er said.

"I'll go and report it now..." said the little eunuch.

"No need... let's wait until the empress finishes breakfast..." Zhen'er said. The little eunuch led them into the small house next to him. The two of them stared at Zhen'er. Zhen'er saw the little eunuch leaving and closed the door.

"It's almost..." Zhen'er was about to take action. When they were relaxing, they knocked them down with one hand, and the room was just right.

But a voice came from outside: "I heard that my aunt is here, so I asked her to have a meal with her!"

Concubine Zhou asked herself to accompany her to have dinner. This was a reward, but what should we do with these two people? I couldn't control it anymore. Zhen'er smiled slightly, flicked her fingers, and two pills entered the mouths of the two people.

"What did you give us food?" said the elderly.

"Pharm...a poison. I know you are not afraid of death, but what I am worried about is your safety. In fact, this medicine is not very poisonous. It's just that I want you to stay here and not leave randomly, otherwise things will not be done and your life will be lost." Zhen'er said.

"You...are you our inner support?" said the young man.

"We have no inner support," said the older, "Why do you want to do this? Kill it if you want to!"

"I don't want to kill you. The emperor must want to know why someone wanted to kill him." Zhen'er said, and the two fell to the ground. Zhen'er tidied up her clothes and opened the door and went out: "Tie them. Don't disturb others, otherwise I will kill your life."

There are already many side dishes in Concubine Zhou’s house. The Concubine’s diet is second only to the queen, and it is not something that can be eaten by one person. There are eight or nine varieties of breakfast.
