The banquet was a joyous one, with everyone reciting poems and composing poems, getting drunk and living wildly.
Li Taiyue sat in the middle, looking out of place. After drinking three glasses of wine when he first arrived, he sat in his seat with a frown on his face and didn't drink a drop of wine.
Seeing everyone reciting poems and answering questions, Li Taiyue shook his head gently, stood up and said goodbye to Baili Shuze, who was in charge: "Third prince, the government is involved in government affairs. Taiyue really does not have the leisure and elegance to do so, so I will take my leave first!"
Before Baili Shuze could say anything, Gu Shuci rushed to the side and said: "Master Li is concerned about the country and has the world in mind. Naturally, he is not as leisurely as me. But I don't know what achievements Mr. Li has made since he entered the court?"
Li Taiyue's face was slightly downcast and he said nothing.
He was originally in the Imperial Academy with Gu Shuci, but because he presented the Thirteen Strategies for Peace to the imperial court and advocated reform, he was appreciated by the prince Baili Changkong and promoted to the imperial court.
Although the people present did not say it on their faces, they were somewhat jealous in their hearts. It happened that not long after Li Taiyue entered the court, there were attacks from two dynasties and there was a domestic rebellion.
Gu Shuci continued: "Now that the city is full of turmoil, and the prince is also banned from his residence, Mr. Li should be careful!"
Li Taiyue snorted coldly and was about to walk away, but his sleeve was pulled by Song Ming who came over at some time: "Master Li, I have something unclear. I hope Master Li can ask for advice."
Li Taiyue was already full of anger, but when he heard what Song Ming said, he almost got angry. But suddenly he noticed something profound in Song Ming's eyes, so he nodded understandingly and followed Song Ming to the inner hall.
As soon as he entered this place, he heard Ye Ling say: "Master Li is the pillar of the imperial court, how can he associate with these scum and rotten scholars?"
Li Taiyue recognized Ye Ling and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master Ye..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Ling quickly waved his hand: "I have resigned and cannot be regarded as an adult."
"Ye... Ling," Li Taiyue immediately changed his words: "Now the whole city is arresting you, why are you still in the city?"
Li Taiyue didn't know the reason for arresting Ye Ling, but he still thought Ye Ling was a good person.
Ye Ling took out a storage ring with his backhand and handed it to Li Taiyue: "Master Li, what should I do with this?"
Li Taiyue didn't dare to answer and looked towards the door. Song Ming smiled and said: "This inner hall was set up by these people for the royal daughter to have fun. No movement will be heard by the outside world."
Hearing this, Li Taiyue felt relieved for a moment, then took the storage ring and explored it, and was immediately shocked: "How could such a thing happen!"
Ye Ling said: "Master Li, what do you think we should do?"
Li Taiyue remained silent. Could it be that he wanted to kill the king with a knife?
Seeing his reaction, Ye Ling laughed at himself and said, "I'm ignorant, so I'll take my leave!"
"Wait!"
Li Taiyue stopped Ye Ling and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance. I cannot make the decision without authorization. I will report this matter to the Prince Ming and the Right Minister and let them decide."
After saying that, Li Taiyue held the storage ring and turned to leave.
Ye Ling did not stop him and said to himself: "I hope there are still people in the world who can manage the world and help the people!"
Halfway through the banquet, Baili Shuze suddenly stood up and said: "Everyone, I have an appointment with my mother and concubine. I am going to the palace, so I have to go first!"
After hearing this, everyone stood up and sent each other off: "Send off the third prince!"
Song Ming took advantage of the opportunity and sneaked out and returned to Qintian Prison.
After entering the door, he went straight to the top of the tower and saw an old man in white sitting cross-legged on the observatory. It was Daqian Imperial Master Song Jinghe.
"grandfather!"
Song Ming came over, leaned against Song Jinghe, and said with a smile, "I met a very interesting person today."
Song Jinghe nodded without opening his eyes: "Grandpa already knows."
"Really?" Song Ming straightened up, looked at Song Jinghe, and asked, "Grandpa, do you think he can escape this disaster?"
Song Jinghe sighed: "The secret must not be revealed, but grandpa hopes that this disaster will not happen."
…
The palace is now under martial law, but the princes can still come and go.
When the third prince's car entered the imperial city, Baili Shuze walked down and ordered the surrounding entourage to go out and wait outside the city.
When there was no one around, Baili Shuze faced the carriageway and said, "Come out, there is no one else here."
Under the car, Ye Ling pulled out and stood in front of Baili Shuze. He knew that he couldn't hide it, he just wanted to know Baili Shuze's attitude.
Baili Shuze smiled and said: "You are so bold. If you dare to enter the imperial city at this time, aren't you asking for death?"
"Without the help of the third prince, how could I have come in?" Ye Ling also smiled and said, "It's just that the third prince and the second prince are siblings, so why would they help me?"
"Second brother?" Baili Shuze said with some doubts: "Why do you mention my second brother? Does this have anything to do with him?"
Ye Ling did not hide anything, and said: "My third brother Wu Qing is in his hands, and now his life or death is uncertain. Even my life, he must be very interested in it."
Baili Shuze didn't believe it. He waved and a set of clothes floated down in front of Ye Ling in the car: "Put on your clothes and pretend to be my follower. Although I don't know why you want to enter the imperial city, I don't want to report you. So. Don't get involved with me either, I can't bear the crime of treason."
Seeing Baili Shuze's frank smile, Ye Ling believed him, changed his clothes, dressed up as a eunuch's servant, and followed him.
The two of them went to a palace one after another. On the way, Baili Shuze asked: "You haven't told me yet, why do you want to enter the imperial city?"
Ye Ling did not hide it: "The whole city is being searched, and I will be arrested sooner or later. But this is the safest place in the imperial city."
Baili Shuze smiled when he heard this: "That makes sense!"
Coming to the gate of a palace, a maid hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to the third prince!"
Baili Shuze smiled and nodded: "Is mother here?"
"The imperial concubine is waiting for the third prince in the palace."
Hearing this, Baili Shuze turned to Ye Ling and said, "Come in with me!"
The two of them climbed up the steps and came to the main hall. When they saw a luxurious lady sitting in front of them, it was the imperial concubine Liang Yu: "
The face is as red as hibiscus, and the lips are as red as a cherry. The pink makeup is light and charming, and the wind and willow fragrance are crisp and wonderful.
If you choose to accompany the king, it seems impossible to escape from the caged flowers. The moth sheds tears on the embroidered curtain, and there is no enchantment hidden in the scheme. "
Ye Ling looked up at this beautiful woman. She really didn't look like a rude and cunning woman who could stop Song Zheng from leaving the capital in the imperial street.
The third prince bowed his hands and said, "My dear, I wish my mother a happy life!"
Liang Yu stood up with a smile and came over, helped Baili Shuze up and said, "I knew you would come. I've been waiting for you for my mother."
As they talked, mother and son came to the seat holding hands and sat down, talking about common things.
Ye Ling stood aside with other palace servants. Listening to Liang Yu greeting his servants to bring various snacks and cakes: "Although cultivators are not greedy, my mother knows that you like these foods the most since you were a child, so I have already prepared them for you, waiting for you to come."
"Mom still knows what the child is thinking." Baili Shuze picked up a piece and put it in his mouth: "By the way, isn't the second brother here yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch outside the door shouted: "The second prince is here!"
Liang Yu said with a smile: "It just happened. It's so easy to talk about."
Ye Ling on the side was shocked. If Baili Qingfeng recognized him here, he would be the meat on the anvil and the fish in the net, and he would not be able to escape.
It happened that the servants who had just brought snacks turned around and retreated, and Ye Ling quickly followed behind, passing by Baili Qingfeng on the steps.
Seeing that Baili Qingfeng had no reaction, Ye Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, after the two of them passed by, Baili Qingfeng's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't say much.
Ye Ling walked out of the hall, but didn't know where to go. It was his first time to set foot in Nuo Grand Palace, and he didn't dare to wander around and cause trouble.
Just at this time, someone came over, patted Ye Ling on the shoulder and said, "Which palace are you from?"
Ye Ling was stunned, turned around and saw a arrogant eunuch. Realizing his identity, he quickly lowered his head and said nothing.
The eunuch didn't say anything when he saw Ye Ling, but he didn't care too much. He continued, "It just so happened that we were short of manpower today, so I sent this box of snacks to the Queen."
With that said, a young eunuch behind him handed the food box to Ye Ling.
"yes!"
Ye Ling responded, turned and left.
The little eunuch asked the big eunuch: "Why don't we go and deliver it?"
"What do you know?" said the eunuch: "Our queen is not favored by the Holy Emperor at all. Did you see that the imperial concubine is the popular one? We just take this opportunity to serve here. Please be smarter later." !”
"My son understands!"
The palace is deep, and except for some palaces, most of them are where the palace servants live. It may be said that the palace belongs to the royal family, but speaking of it, it is a larger place for outsiders to live.
Ye Ling restrained his breath and quietly probed out with his spiritual consciousness. I found that there were also many monks among the eunuchs in the palace, and their strength was between Qingyou Realm and Lingxu Realm.
People say that the innate yin and yang are extremely precious, so practicing as a child will make progress faster. Many of these eunuchs were sent to the palace at a young age and had long been imprisoned in pure Yang bodies, so their cultivation progressed very quickly.
It's just that after the Ying Chong realm, the yin and yang are of little use. The monks rely on their understanding of the great road to go one step further.
Ye Ling carefully carried the food box to the palace where the queen was. But that's good, at least no one will care about him, they will just treat him as a palace servant and avoid a lot of trouble.
…
In Wang Yuanzhong's residence, Li Taiyue presented the storage ring in front of Wang Yuanzhong and said solemnly: "This matter is of great importance. I dare not act rashly. Please ask the elder to deal with it."
Wang Yuanzhong took the storage ring in his hand, examined it carefully, and said slowly: "Do you know that if this matter spreads, it will bring disaster to my Daqian!"
Li Taiyue frowned slightly: "Does Mr. Ge want to hide it?"
Wang Yuanzhong stood up and looked out the window: "Your Majesty used evil methods to improve your cultivation, probably just to fight against the sky. It's just that your Majesty did it so secretly that even we don't know the secret. I really don't know what your Majesty is afraid of. What."
Li Taiyue nodded and said: "Lüzhou, Liangzhou, even Demon City, and the matter of Hidden Corpse Ridge may have a lot to do with it."
Wang Yuanzhong turned to look at the storage ring. Suddenly, a surge of energy rose up around him. He held the ring in his big hand, and then gave a soft drink. There was a space shock in his hand, and the ring was destroyed.
Li Taiyue was shocked: "Mr. Ge, you..."
"It's up to me to fight against this huge disaster. The government of Daqian will rely on you and the prince!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yuanzhong looked at the dark shadow flashing away from the door and remained silent...
