Liu Mingzhi and Qinglian discussed it for about half an hour and carefully discussed the steps to take in the palace before getting up and preparing to enter the palace!
"Husband!"
Liu Mingzhi looked blankly at the third princess's jade hand holding his wrist: "Yan'er, is there anything else? Did my husband not explain it clearly enough just now?"
The third princess looked at her husband with a blank expression angrily: "I understand, I understand, but you have forgotten what you said in the Qinzheng Palace that day. You want to enter the palace to present treasures!"
The third princess released her grip on Young Master Liu's hand and spread her hands. She pursed her lips a few times and looked at the empty hands of Young Master Liu and the others.
"Present treasure, present treasure, where is the treasure? If you don't prepare everything, you will be in trouble soon if someone notices something!"
Young Master Liu suddenly understood, and raised his hand and patted his forehead: "Yes, yes, yes, we almost forgot the reason for entering the palace when we were discussing things, but Yan'er still remembers it clearly. Look at my husband's brains."
Liu Mingzhi looked around Qinglian's room and his eyes lit up when he saw the brocade box on the table. He poured the jewelry inside on the table. Liu Mingzhi picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the porcelain plate on the side and put it on the table. The lid was closed inside the brocade box.
"We have the treasure, now we can enter the palace!"
The three Qinglian girls looked blankly at the brocade box purchased by their husband. Their foreheads were full of black lines. Are you sure this is really okay?
"What are you waiting for? Let's go. We have to prepare armor for Lian'er and Yun Shu. If we delay any longer, it will get dark."
After finishing speaking, Young Master Liu took the lead and walked towards the door with the brocade box in his arms. Seeing this, the three Qinglian girls could only follow him with their lips twitching.
I can only pray in my heart that the move into the palace will go smoothly and that nothing will happen.
Once word spreads about using sweet-scented osmanthus cakes as treasures, the reputation of both the palace and King Pingjian will be affected. Although it won't be embarrassing, it will definitely make people laugh.
Among the soldiers, Young Master Liu picked two pieces of armor with breast protectors for the two women and put them on them. There was nothing he could do about it. The two women's figures were too protruding. It would be easy to wear armor without breast protectors. You can see something is wrong.
Everything was ready. Princess Liu Dashao, who was dressed in a dragon robe and a phoenix robe, and two handsome soldiers drove slowly towards the palace in a carriage.
After a few sticks of incense, the carriage stopped steadily outside the palace gate.
"The last general Yang Tai meets with King Qiansui and His Royal Highness the Third Princess!"
"Let's meet the prince and the princess!"
"Everyone is free of charge!"
"Thank you, prince, thank you princess!"
Liu Mingzhi adjusted the cloak behind him and shuddered as he looked at the icy and snowy Imperial City. The weather had just snowed and it was really freezing.
As soon as I got off the carriage, the cold wind kept pouring into my clothes from any gaps.
"Yang Tai, you are on duty again today. It snowed heavily one after another. It's quite cold to stand outside guarding the palace gate!"
"Reporting to the prince, there is nothing we can do when the rotation comes to the general's place. No matter how cold it is, we have to keep guard. Who let the general and the brothers eat this bowl of rice? Fortunately, there are three posts a day. In half an hour, someone will come to replace the general. That’s it.”
"Thank you for your hard work. I have kept my promise and will present the treasure to His Majesty in three days. Now that it is due, I have no choice but to go out in the severe cold. Move the horses away!"
Yang Tai nodded slightly and stared closely at the brocade box in Liu Mingzhi's hand. The meaning was self-evident.
Liu Mingzhi handed the brocade box to Yang Tai with a strange expression: "It can be inspected, but it cannot be opened. The treasures inside cannot be seen. Only His Majesty can see it in person."
Yang Tai, who was about to inspect it, froze and looked at Young Master Liu with embarrassment. He couldn't open the brocade box and check whether the contents inside would be harmful to His Majesty.
The third princess sighed helplessly: "Commander Yang, don't you feel relieved that I am here?"
"I don't dare!"
Yang Tai hesitated for a moment, then held the brocade box and shook it by his ear a few times. Hearing the dull and light echo in the brocade box, Yang Tai breathed a sigh of relief.
From his experience, he could immediately feel that the items in the brocade box were by no means sharp weapons that could cause harm to people.
As for poisons, Yang Tai is not worried. There are so many eunuchs in the palace who have many ways to check whether the treasures in the brocade boxes are poisonous.
Yang Tai returned the brocade box to Young Master Liu with a bitter look on his face: "Your Majesty, I am rude, this is my duty. I hope your Majesty will not take offense!"
"It doesn't matter, can I enter the palace now?"
"My lord, please wait a moment!"
Yang Tai skipped the third princess and walked towards Qinglian and Wenren Yunshu who were wearing armor behind them.
"Brothers, if you are offended, please raise your hands. This general wants to search you!"
Liu Mingzhi frowned. It was okay for his woman to be searched by other men, but she had to touch everything that should be touched and shouldn't be touched.
"Yang Tai!"
Yang Tai, who was about to search the two women, was startled and turned around to look at Liu Mingzhi in confusion.
"My lord, what's wrong?"
"You are insulting me!"
Yang Tai looked at Mr. Liu, whose eyes suddenly became majestic, and couldn't help but feel panicked: "My lord, forgive me, where can I start talking about this? How dare you, the general, be disrespectful to your lord!"
Liu Mingzhi took out his Three Armies Tiger Talisman from his arms and placed it in front of Yang Tai, his expression a little gloomy.
"Yang Tai, if I want to harm Your Majesty, do you need to use some dirty tricks? Who did you use to win against me?"
"snort!"
"Captain Yu, Captain Wen, protect the princess and follow me into the palace!"
"Got the order!"
Yang Tai looked at the backs of the four people rushing towards the palace gate, looking a little stiff and helpless.
"Commander, what should I do?"
Yang Tai glanced at the deputy general beside him and sighed quietly.
"What should we do? Keep standing guard. Your Majesty is right. He really wants to harm Your Majesty, so there is no need to use dirty tricks."
"Not to mention there are three princesses following!"
"Perhaps it's time for me to learn to be flexible. Looking at the prince's face just now, I'm afraid that my general's distrustful behavior has made the prince completely angry!"
"Alas! If I offend the King of One-to-One, I'm afraid my general's life will be difficult in the future!"
The deputy general looked at Yang Tai's wry smile and didn't know how to persuade him.
Young Master Liu, who was the first to rush towards the harem, suddenly stopped, looked around the surrounding palace walls with piercing eyes, and then took the third princess into his arms.
"Husband, get out of here, this is in the palace, not at home!"
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and turned to Qinglian behind him. Wenren Yunshu said: "Back off and walk back towards the palace gate. There is something wrong with the atmosphere in the palace. My husband feels a chilling smell!"
The two women were startled, and their pretty eyes immediately became solemn. They looked around at the surrounding environment and retreated toward the palace gate a hundred steps away with light steps.
Liu Mingzhi hugged the third princess tightly and followed the two girls towards the palace gate.
The other two girls are all masters of the third rank, but the third princess is a weak woman with no strength, so Liu Mingzhi naturally does not dare to be careless.
The third princess looked at her husband with a solemn expression in shock: "Husband, what happened!"
"Shhh, talk to you later!"
Liu Mingzhi glanced inadvertently towards the palace wall of the imperial city, looking at the figures of the imperial guards flashing up from time to time on the palace wall, Liu Mingzhi finally understood where the feeling of something wrong came from!
He can lead up to one million troops, and he knows the layout of the troops best. He just casually scanned and found out that the number of imperial guards on the palace wall was about 30% more than before.
There are no external enemies and no internal strife. It is obviously unreasonable for nearly half of the imperial guards to be in the palace.
Whether it was accidental or intentional, Liu Mingzhi no longer cared. He only knew that no matter what the situation was, he had to figure it out before he could enter the palace!
Looking at the palace gate dozens of steps away, which was motionless and not blocked at all, Liu Mingzhi also murmured in his heart, maybe he was overthinking.
In this case, what is the reason for the situation of the Praetorian Guards?
Thinking of the emperor's order in Queen Ren Qingrui's hand that could mobilize the imperial army, Liu Mingzhi's eyes narrowed, his face darkened, he hugged the third princess tightly and accelerated his pace!
