Chapter 1064 East Gate of the Palace

The east gate of the palace is the gateway for internal officials, eunuchs and Shaofu officials to enter and leave the palace to do business, and there are still Qianniu Guards on duty.

At the intersection of the street dozens of feet away from the east gate, there is a snack stall sold by carts. It comes every day at dawn and is busy until the curfew before closing the stall home. It sells some pasta such as pancakes and pancakes. Because it tastes good, the price is very popular among people coming and going to visit nearby. Not only do the patrols go to eat a few every day, but even those who come out to do business in the palace will buy some to satisfy their hunger. Therefore, this snack stall has been set up here for nearly two years, and its business has always been very good.

The owner of the snack stall is a middle-aged man about 40 years old, but today there is a teenager helping the food stall, so pancakes are sold much more than usual.

Before and after Shen Shi, a man with a black bearded bun came out of the palace, wearing a white coat and hanging a nameplate on his chest, and he saw that he was the imperial physician in the palace.

"Doctor Fang, it's a bad time!" The owner of the food stall seemed very familiar with the imperial doctor, and greeted him with a smile from a distance.

"Well, the old rules, two pancakes." Doctor Fang threw down two Five Elements Tongbao.

"Hey, Doctor Fang wait, it will be fine soon!" The stall owner was very familiar with the pancakes and quickly grilled some vegetables, meat and minced sauce, wrapped them in two leaves and handed them to Doctor Fang.

"Be careful in the past few days, I heard that a dog ran away in the palace..." Doctor Fang left a blindsided sentence and left.

The stall owner moved his face slightly and whispered to the young man next to him: "There has been news in the palace, and Zhao Gao may come out in the past few days!"

"That's great, thank you!" The young man nodded slightly and put down the items in his hand, put on a tattered straw hat and looked at the east gate of the palace, turned around and walked across the street.

Recently it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the markets outside the city have closed, so Xianyang is extremely lively in the evening. Not only are there a large number of Xianyang people and many merchants and tourists from other counties in the Daqin, but also merchants from the Western Regions of Liang in the Liao Dynasty and other countries. Although the nearby palace is strictly managed, there are still many shops and halls. People are everywhere on the streets, and the lights are also on in many shops, and there are constant streams of people coming and going from the entire street.

In the evening, the temperature was already quite cold, and among the crowd, there were several beggars in ragged clothes and disheveled hair begging along the street, staying back and forth in front of nearby shops and food halls.

The boy wearing a hat walked straight to the eaves of a house on the side of the street, where there were still several beggars gathered together and curled up under the wall to take a nap. The boy gently kicked one of the beggars with his feet, and whispered in the direction of the palace: "There is news, Zhao Gao has movements. Notify everyone to pay close attention to the observation, keep an eye on all the suspicious people out, and be ready to act at any time!"

The beggar nodded and greeted several companions on both sides to stand up and quickly spread out, while the boy returned to the pancake stall to continue observing.

After half an hour of waiting, the sky became darker and the crowds on the streets gradually began to sparse, but there was still no big noise at the east gate. Although there were many people from the palace coming in and out, according to the clothing, it was not the Zhao Gao who had become a Miao doctor who put on makeup.

The palace gate will be closed in a moment.

The boy was a little disappointed, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. No matter who did this, he would be nervous. When he first came today, he heard the news that Zhao Gao would come out, which made him feel that he was not fully prepared, mainly because he was afraid that his companions would make the Marquis' big deal.

Death is not scary. They have lived from the brink of starving to death countless times since childhood. They have also seen many beggars of the same age or even younger. Now they have no worries about food and clothing with the Marquis. They only need to guard the house every day. In addition to the monthly monthly money, there are several new sets of clothes every year, and some of their relatives will receive more care.

And all this was something they never dared to think about before, just because they met the Marquis, gave them food, clothes and clothes, and spent a lot of money to make them eat and dress well every day. It is the time for them to truly repay the Marquis.

Therefore, this time the matter can only be successful but not failed. Chen Yong hopes that Zhao Gao will appear tomorrow, so they may prepare more properly.

"The hour of You is here, and the palace gate is about to close!" The stall owner glanced at the east gate of the palace and found that the Qianniu Guard guarding the gate had already started changing shifts, so he whispered a reminder.

The stall owner did not know the purpose of these teenagers. His task was to convey the news from the palace, but the palace gate was about to be closed, so today's mission was completed.

"Ga~Ga~" Just as a group of Qianniu Guards were changing shifts and preparing to close the palace gate, with a few shouts, a double-bridle carriage came out of the palace. The closed carriage could not see who was inside, but the attitude of several Qianniu Guards who checked their waist signs was quite respectful.

The carriage stayed at the palace gate for only half a minute, then set off again and walked along the street, and soon disappeared into the brightly lit stream of people.

With the creaking sound of the palace gate, Qianniuwei also entered the palace. As a few lanterns rose on the palace wall, the outside of the east gate of the palace seemed extremely deserted.

"Uncle, who is on the carriage just now?" Chen Yong asked curiously after watching the carriage leave.

"I don't know, there are too many identities in this palace. Those who can ride in double-bridle carriages are at least five-rank officials or above, as well as wives, concubines, princesses, and princesses, all of which can be double-horsed. This car is not common..."

"You said this car is not common, which means it may not be the car of ordinary palace officials and wives and concubines?" Chen Yong's heart moved.

"Well, although it is not common, according to the appearance and regulations, to be precise, this car should be the car of a certain young man. I guess it was a boring man in the uterus. I went to Quyuan to find the young lady to have a romantic and happy life at night!" The stall owner nodded with a smile.

He was ordered to open a pancake stall here to guard the palace gate and be responsible for conveying the news. In the past two years, he had almost recognized the carriages entering and leaving the palace, and could identify the carriages with a little status, but he had hardly seen this car before.

"Strange, which young master's car is it? I haven't heard of any young master building a new car. Moreover, this car is obviously the old model from last year, and the axles have not been replaced yet..." The stall owner muttered with greasy hands, pulling his beard.

The palace has three gates, which means the meaning of the three talents of heaven, earth and man. It is the origin of the twelve palaces of Ziwei. Many palaces on both sides of the Wei River, including Xianyang Palace, are arranged according to the astrological arrangement of Ziwei Doushu, forming a seemingly messy but very complex structure. The palace is the location of the Ziwei Star Palace. According to the theory that Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things, three is the beginning of all things, which is used to represent the respectful status of the palace.

The main gate of the palace, also known as the South Heaven Gate, is the emperor's special gate. Although concubines and princesses can also enter and exit, they can only be used on major festivals, and they can only go to the small gate next to them. The east gate is also called the earth gate, which is the main entry and exit passage of the palace. The inner officials and concubines and royal families of the palace can enter and exit, but ordinary palace maids and eunuchs and other low-level servants can only enter and exit from the north gate behind the palace.

Zhao Gao is an imperial physician and has a relatively high status. If he enters and leaves, he will definitely go to the east gate, because he dare not walk to the south gate and the north gate will not allow him to pass.

The palace is strictly managed, and everyone has their own rules when entering and leaving. Even the princess and princesses dare not overthrow it, let alone an imperial physician. They can only go to the east gate when entering and leaving the palace. In the past, they might have been able to climb the sewer, but since Chen Xu had an accident in the palace, all the sewers were blocked by fences, and there was an imperial guard patrol day and night, so there was no possibility at all.

Moreover, Qianniuwei, who was on duty at the east gate, was familiar with Zhou Bo. Chen Xu had already said hello to Zhou Bo. He would immediately send a message whenever Zhao Gao was discovered. However, he did not see any action from Qianniuwei today, so the stall owner naturally would not think that there was anything wrong with the car just now. It felt that a young man secretly went out to jungle again.

However, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. As Chen Yong, who was on the first day of the mission, refused to let go of this suspicion. Moreover, the palace gate has been closed now, and it is no longer meaningful to continue staring at the palace gate. Therefore, after saying goodbye to the stall owner, he put on a hat and left.

"Has anyone ever targeted the car just now?" At the corner of the food hall, Chen Yong found a boy who had made up and became a beggar and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Madan followed, is there something wrong with this car?"

"This car may be the car of a certain young man, but the palace gate has been closed. It doesn't make much sense to keep an eye on it here. You and Fork continue to stay here, I'll follow you and take a look!"

"Okay! Be careful. If Zhao Gao is really inside, you must come back to find us so as not to miss the Marquis's big affairs!"
