A few days later, the Shengwu Empire Palace hosted a banquet to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Li Xianglong's accession to the throne, the emperor who was now in his prime. Although Li Xianglong had only ascended the throne for 200 years, Li Xianglong, a third-level wizard, was actually over 1,900 years old. , his father did not advance to the third-level wizard, but died in less than two hundred years in power. As the third-generation emperor of the Shengwu Empire, unlike the founding king, who is now the fifth-level wizard Li Suye of the Supreme Emperor, he insisted on taking Nan The domineering power Lu Peninsula displayed was also different from his father's excessive hardships in stabilizing the world. He made bold moves to concentrate the imperial power in his own hands, aiming to achieve unparalleled hegemony.
On days like this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty naturally gathered together. The nineteen provinces of the Shengwu Empire and the Governor-General of Zhili were all here. The only one missing was the Continental Corridor, the Governor of the Northern War Zone, Marshal Tiebi Yan Fuzheng.
Of course, the marshal was not here, but the wife, who was the emperor's sister, still came with her daughter. However, his absence made people feel that this marshal with great military achievements was under house arrest because Marshal Zhennan was now under house arrest, which made Yan Fu Zheng was also a little scared.
In fact, many people also know in their hearts that Marshal Zhennan is an old friend of the Supreme Emperor. However, the empire is now almost four hundred years old and has already passed the initial crisis. Now, concentrating power has become what the emperor wants to do most. Li Suye The same is true, so his abdication is not to allow himself to bear the notoriety of killing his friends.
Li Xianglong brought the queen and a group of concubines, but the only missing one was the virtuous concubine Ye Yulin, which also explained something more.
At the same time, far away in the darkest place of the palace, just as they were entertaining the officials, a female official came to the Concubine Xian with fine wine and food and seemed to be respectful and said: "Concubine Xian, this is The Queen has specially given you the food for His Majesty’s birthday banquet, and the Queen wants us to watch you eat it alone to show your gratitude to His Majesty for the gift!”
It was indeed good food and wine, but the quantity was too large for one person to eat.
"Eat them all. How is this possible? Even three people can't eat so much." The palace maid who was following Ye Yulin couldn't help shouting.
Ye Yulin was married to Li Xianglong when he ascended the throne two hundred years ago. She is now over two hundred years old and has been an official wizard for a long time. She looks like she is in her early twenties, but now she looks a little haggard, and the people around her are calling. The woman's name is Ye Xuemei, she is Ye Yulin's personal maid who has been with him since he was a child. When she entered the palace, she was only thirteen years old. However, compared to Ye Yulin who was in his early twenties, she looked slightly older and looked older. Twenty-seven or eight, they are still official wizards, but the two of them have been imprisoned for a long time. Facing such a female official, there is nothing they can do.
"Could a little wise palace steward still want to disobey the Queen's will?" Seeing Ye Xuemei speak out, the female officer asked with a sneer.
At this moment, Ye Yulin grabbed the only one of his own in the palace and said with a smile: "I thank you, my concubine, but the queen didn't tell me when to finish eating. I eat slowly, so I have to let a few people eat." Just stand and wait a little longer.”
"Today is His Majesty's birthday. You must finish eating today." The female officer said bluntly.
"What if I can't finish eating?" Concubine Xian asked.
"There is also a bottle of wine here. If you can't finish it, just drink it!" the female officer said with a mocking tone.
Hearing this, Ye Yulin's whole body trembled. Although she had been prepared for it, His Majesty was really going to kill her, which also made her heart tremble.
"My dear concubine, you can have your majesty's birthday banquet before leaving. It is already your majesty's favor." The female officer was no longer secretive at this time.
"Okay, that's great. In that case, I'll let Xuemei eat with me. It's okay. Just think of it as a reward from me." Ye Yulin said.
"This is just a favor for you. As for her, she is not qualified yet. After sending you away, we will naturally send her to accompany you!" the female officer said coldly.
The female officer's ruthlessness gave both women an unspeakable chill, but at this moment, the palace door suddenly closed.
Several people were immediately shocked, and Ye Yufei and Ye Xuemei were also a little surprised. A cold light instantly fell from the top of the roof and chopped off the head of the female officer.
"What are you doing standing still? Change your clothes immediately and follow me." At this moment, a beautiful woman with sharp eyes appeared in front of them.
"Who are you?" The two people asked together, but at this time they discovered that this woman was definitely very powerful.
"I'm just doing someone a favor. After I put on my clothes, go to the west side door of the palace and someone will help me." After the woman finished speaking, she left directly.
Seeing this, the two people quickly changed into the clothes of ordinary palace maids, and then arrived at the west side of the palace. To their surprise, no one inquired along the way. Although the main guard force was in the main hall tonight, it was too much luck. alright.
When they arrived at the west side, they saw a carriage actually going out from the palace through the west gate. The carriage was given to Marshal Iron Wall by the late emperor himself and could drive in the palace.
"Are you from Marshal Tiebi?" Ye Yulin was a little surprised.
The woman didn't say anything. After the carriage approached, she led the people in in a flash.
"Ruoxue!" Ye Yulin was shocked when he saw the girl in the carriage.
"Concubine Xian, please don't talk until you leave the palace. Sister Hei, thank you for your help this time!" Yan Ruoxue said softly.
"The master asked me to help you. I also obeyed the master's instructions, and you also paid for it." Xu Qianning said.
"Don't worry, I've prepared what you want." Yan Ruoxue smiled.
Ye Yulin listened to the conversation between the two people, which made her feel a little surprised. She didn't expect that this girl, who she always thought was very innocent, actually had a side that she didn't recognize. As expected, no noble noble could be simple.
When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Xu Qianning told them not to speak, but the guard who inspected them looked at them briefly and let them go, seemingly confused.
"What happened this time was really simple. I thought it would take an adult's intervention to save people!" After coming out, Yan Ruoxue couldn't help but laugh.
"This is the Shengwu Empire's palace, but it's only a remote part of the palace. If you go to the main hall, it's not that easy. In addition, the Supreme Emperor is lucky that he doesn't practice here in the palace, otherwise he would probably be dead as soon as I arrive. Found it, now that it has come out, I will leave and bring the things to me next time!" Xu Qianning explained.
"I won't miss you!" Yan Ruoxue promised.
Ye Yulin watched this scene. After the mysterious and powerful woman left, with all the questions in his heart, he couldn't wait to ask Yan Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, was your father sending you to save me?"
