The edict is to be announced to the world.
But the secret edict is not needed.
If the secret edict did not come from Emperor Wu of Ming Dynasty, he would appoint someone to receive the edict.
Anyone can take it.
So go to Tianxing Tower first. If Emperor Mingwu has an oral edict, the eldest princess can directly take the secret edict.
Then get the edict.
If there is no oral edict, then we have to find a way to get the secret edict.
Lu Ning looked back at the golden platform.
His spiritual consciousness was unable to rush forward and was suppressed ten feet below by a layer of energy.
One can imagine that the person on the stage is very mysterious and powerful.
Half an hour later.
At the northernmost edge of the palace, there is a magnificent thirty-three-foot-high pavilion, with a blue plaque on it written in golden characters: Tianxing Tower.
Tianxing Tower is the main building of Qintian Prison.
There are ten floors in total, each floor is three feet tall.
When Lu Ning arrived with the eldest princess, he saw that there were also forbidden troops guarding the Tianxing downstairs.
Except.
In the Tianxing Tower, there were people of different ages, some wearing pharmacist robes, some wearing black and white Taoist robes, and some wearing alchemy robes.
They came in and out, greeting each other when they met.
But he ignored the eldest princess at all.
This made Lu Ning and Pei Tianbei feel a little strange.
"Sister Princess, why don't these people come over to salute?" Pei Tianbei frowned.
"Except for my father, they only have eyes for prison." The eldest princess said calmly.
He immediately picked up his skirt and walked toward Tianxing Tower.
However, at the entrance of the hall on the first floor, he was stopped by two forbidden soldiers.
The commander of the imperial army walked out quickly and saluted the eldest princess:
"I will finally see Her Royal Highness the Princess. Please stop."
"I can't go up the stairs?" The eldest princess frowned.
"Back to Your Highness, Master Jianzheng is not feeling well. He has told the generals that no one, including Your Majesty, will come in person."
The commander of the imperial army had no expression on his face and continued to lower his eyebrows and said:
"So your Highness, please don't embarrass me, General. Please come back."
The eldest princess frowned: "Is there anyone who can come before me?"
The commander of the Imperial Guard hesitated for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes, Crown Prince Anshan has been here."
"Zhou Yi, the eldest son of Prince Anshan?"
The eldest princess was stunned, and a cousin of the same age as herself flashed through her mind.
He has been studying in Confucius Institute.
Compared with Zhou Xiao, the prince of Yongshan, Zhouyi can be said to be unknown.
"What is he here for?" The eldest princess' face darkened.
"Back to Your Highness, Prince Anshan is here to visit Lord Jianzheng."
"How many people are accompanying you?"
"Three people are accompanying us."
Seeing the commander of the imperial army answering so neatly, the eldest princess frowned for a moment and said, "Is the secret edict in the hands of Lord Jianzheng?"
"Go back to your highness, I will not understand."
I saw the commander of the imperial army shaking his head like a rattle.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows. First of all, he shook his head in an exaggerated manner. Secondly, shouldn't his subconscious answer be 'I don't know', but the latter's answer was 'I don't understand'.
Is it hinting to the eldest princess that the secret edict is here?
The eldest princess pondered, turned and left.
Lu Ning and the others quickly followed.
Until four people disappeared.
At the far corner, three figures walked out.
The leader is a handsome young man dressed in white.
He tied his hair and wore a crown, indicating that he would be eighteen years old next year.
Adult and ready for marriage.
This person is Zhou Yi, the prince of Anshan. He is holding a paper fan in his hand, showing his elegance.
Behind him were two people.
A young man, a middle-aged man.
If Lu Ning were here, he must know that young man, it was Yuan Wu.
"It turns out that she can't go up, so I can rest assured."
With a smile on his face, Zhou Yi held a paper fan tightly and turned around to leave.
"Your Majesty, look!" Yuan Wu said with a raised brow.
Zhou Yi turned around and saw Prince Yongshan's luxurious carriage parked at the foot of Tianxing Tower.
The three of them immediately walked into the corner.
About a cup of tea.
Zhou Xiao left with the people angrily.
Zhou Yi sneered and took Yuan Wu and the others away from the north gate.
A quarter of an hour later.
Another luxury carriage stopped at the Tianxing Tower.
Beimang Crown Prince Xue Jingnian got off the carriage, followed only by a middle-aged man in dark blue robes.
"My prince, Xue Jingnian, is here to pay a visit to Lord Jianzheng."
Xue Jingnian stood at the door of the palace and said with his hands behind his back.
The commander of the imperial army walked out quickly and said respectfully: "Prince Xue, please come!"
Xue Jingnian nodded and walked into Tianxing Tower with his entourage.
…
Return to Yongle Palace.
Lu Ning found a young man wearing light blue brocade clothes standing outside the palace, with a face like a crown jewel.
It was Qi Yuansheng, the great talent of Qiu Shan.
Qi Yuansheng was originally very happy to see the eldest princess back.
When he saw Lu Ning following behind him, he was stunned.
"It's you!!"
Lu Ning glanced at him and said, "It's me, what?"
Qi Yuansheng was speechless. His poetry was defeated by a martial artist? I couldn't help but ask: "When did you become the captain of the Demon Suppression Division?"
"It's none of your business, right?" Lu Ning said angrily.
Qi Yuansheng blushed at the rebuke. Seeing the eldest princess staring at him, he hurriedly saluted: "Tianmu has met Her Royal Highness."
The eldest princess frowned: "If you don't take care of the noble concubine, what are you doing here?"
Qi Yuansheng lowered his voice and said, "The noble concubine has something to say to His Highness."
After hearing this, the eldest princess walked into the hall and said, "Come in."
Qi Yuansheng nodded and followed into the hall.
Lu Ning and Pei Tianbei looked at each other and quickly walked into the hall.
After the eldest princess sat down, the maids served tea.
"What message did the imperial concubine ask you to bring?"
Qi Yuansheng frowned and stared at Lu Ning and then said in a deep voice: "Go back to your highness, my sister... it is the noble concubine who means that your majesty is unconscious. She cannot leave the palace for the time being, but she is pregnant, and there are matters in the sixth house. Many."
"Please leave it to Your Highness the Princess to take more care of the imperial edict."
"As long as we stabilize the situation, we will win."
The eldest princess nodded: "I know, I will go back and tell the concubine so that she can raise the baby with peace of mind and don't have to worry about other things."
"After I stabilize the situation, I will send someone to send her back to Qiu Shan to recuperate."
Qi Yuansheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, I recently did...!"
"No need, I'm not in the mood to appreciate poetry right now. Let's talk about it later." The eldest princess quickly interrupted him.
Qi Yuansheng was slightly embarrassed and took his hand away from his chest.
The eldest princess continued: "You should understand the importance of the imperial concubine. Return to the Manlu Palace and personally take care of her daily life. If anything goes wrong, I will only ask you."
"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Qi Yuansheng stood up and glanced at the eldest princess with a little reluctance. He turned around and found that Lu Ning and Pei Tianbei were staring at him.
Just like guarding against thieves.
"snort!"
Qi Yuansheng glanced at Lu Ning and left quickly.
"Brother Lu, he doesn't seem to like you!" Pei Tianbei frowned.
"Maybe it's you." Lu Ning whispered back to him.
"Look at me? How dare he? I'll blow his head off." Pei Tianbei snorted.
Lu Ning twitched the corner of his mouth.
This idiot might actually dare to take action.
So he didn't answer.
The eldest princess glanced at the two of them: "What are you two muttering about?"
Pei Tianbei hurriedly rubbed his stomach and said, "Sister Princess, I'm hungry!"
The eldest princess looked at the hourglass and saw that it was almost noon.
Immediately ordered Bai Xue to start lunch.
Lu Ning and Pei Tianbei sat cross-legged in the main hall, each with a food table, and ate with open stomachs.
The look between the two of them made the eldest princess frown.
She stared at Lu Ning and said, "What do you think about what happened this morning?"
Lu Ning didn't expect the eldest princess to ask him, so he put down the half-eaten pork knuckle and wiped his hands and mouth.
"Your Highness, do you want to hear about Wen or Wu?"
Hearing this, the eldest princess and others looked at Lu Ning.
Seeing him pretending to be mysterious, everyone had a look of curiosity on their faces.
The eldest princess pondered and said: "Wen it."
Lu Ning cleared his voice: "When you return to Your Highness, I will just wait patiently."
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows: "What about the martial arts one?"
Lu Ning coughed lightly and said, "Wu is also waiting quietly."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became a little weird.
Especially the eyes of the eldest princess.
