In the misty night, Gu Shengchao changed into his night clothes and quietly walked outside the palace before the moon rose. There are tall turrets at the four corners of the palace, and the city walls are constantly patrolled by royal guards armed with guns. The defense is tight and it is impossible to climb over the wall. Gu Shengchao came to the place where Fan Lixin told him, which was blocked by low bushes. He leaned over to the moat, took off his coat and hid in the bushes, leaving only his underwear and underwear. He quietly entered the water and took a deep breath. He dived into the water with his breath and moved forward along the river bank.
According to what was shown on the map, Gu Shengchao turned a corner and swam forward for a while. His hands suddenly felt empty. It should be the passage leading to the palace. Anyway, without looking at anything, he touched it with his hands and found that there was indeed a guardrail in the middle. He tentatively grabbed it with both hands and pushed it to both sides. The guardrail spread out like soft dough. He was overjoyed and continued to swim forward by touching the stone wall. He suddenly felt enlightened as he passed through the narrow passage and looked up at the bright light shining through the water.
Gu Shengchao floated up cautiously, his exposed face just hidden under a lotus leaf.
He heard a woman's voice speaking.
"Your Highness, run slowly and be careful." Footsteps were heard one after another around the pond. It should be the palace maid chasing the prince, the child of Concubine Lan who later became the queen as mentioned by Prince Juncheng.
The prince smiled and ran, his innocent look making people forget that this was a palace filled with intrigues and intrigues. Gu Shengchao also remembered the carefree days of his childhood. His parents' smiles had long been blurred in his mind, but that warm scene was something he would never forget.
Gu Shengchao inhaled slowly and returned to normal. He stepped on the water with his feet so that he could float without causing any splash.
"Hong'er, run slowly, this kid is really disobedient." Another woman came over.
"Empress!" The palace maid stopped to salute. No one was chasing her. The prince in front also stopped to take a deep breath and said proudly: "I can't catch up, but I'm faster."
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince runs so fast." The palace maid praised.
"Hong'er, look at how sweaty you are from running around. Go back with your mother and wipe yourself off." The prince ran to the queen's side, jumped up and walked away, and the palace maid followed.
Gu Shengchao sensed that there was no one else nearby, so he climbed out of the pool, hid under the rockery nearby and shook off the water stains on his body. He hid in the night with his bare feet and quietly slipped towards the Grand Hall in front. The Dahong Hall was brightly lit, and there was a guard handle at the door. Ancient Sage Chao had heard Fan Lixin explain that that was where the emperor went to court in the morning, and there would be no one there now. The memorials were reviewed in the evening in the Questioning Pavilion. Because the emperor was ignored by the eunuch Wen Zhe, it should be Wen Zhe who was reading the memorials of the ministers.
Gu Shengchao looked around and determined the location. It should be on the left behind the Dahong Hall. He waited for the patrolling eunuchs to pass by, then jumped in front of the Questioning Pavilion like a civet cat. Sensing that there was no one inside, he opened the ajar door and quietly entered. The lights are on in the Asking Pavilion. Although it is not as grand as the Dahong Palace, the tall eaves, carved beams and painted buildings are also very exquisite. The complex structure gives Gu Shengchao more stealth options. He quietly jumped onto the rafter and found a dark place to hide, waiting for Wen Zhe to arrive.
After a moment of burning incense, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps approaching, and a man with a big belly walked in surrounded by many eunuchs. He sat on the soft couch in the middle, and several eunuchs took the memorial and placed it on the table one after another. Gu Shengchao saw clearly that this fat man must be Wen Zhe.
"Have the people from Baisha City arrived?" Wen Zhe opened a memorial and asked casually.
"Back to my father-in-law, he's already here. He should come to see his father-in-law tonight."
Wen Zhe said "Yes" and said, "They will be brought here after they enter the palace. I want to receive them personally."
A eunuch ordered to retreat.
The ancient sage Chao couldn't believe what he heard. You must know that there are five major sects in the world today. The Dawu Dynasty has the King Wu Palace, the Xileng Kingdom has the Yunqi Palace, the Hu people in the north have Baisha City, and the poisonous and witch sects in the high mountains and miasma in the south. Wen Zhe first had help from Liao Weikang, the envoy from the left side of King Wu's palace, and now Baisha City has come to help. His hidden strength cannot be underestimated.
Wen Zhe reviewed the memorial very quickly, and soon a eunuch screamed: "The Queen is here."
Wen Zhe stood up in a hurry and led a group of eunuchs to greet him. The empress walked over with the support of the palace maid and sat down where Wen Zhe had been. The prince also followed and sat next to his mother to read the memorial.
"Back to your Majesty, the world has been peaceful recently. Most of the memorials are flattering words and nothing important. There is no need to bother your Majesty." Wen Zhe said respectfully.
After reading a memorial, the Queen threw it on the table and said with a solemn expression: "This memorial from Jiangdong County says that bandits are rampant. What's going on?"
Wen Zhe's expression remained normal and he said: "Back to my wife, it's just a bunch of bandits running around. It's nothing to worry about. We have already issued an order to the county government to wipe them out."
The Queen nodded slightly: "Is there anything else you want to report?"
Wen Zhe looked back, and the eunuch behind him immediately understood. He walked over and picked up the prince and said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Wen and the Queen are going to discuss important national affairs. Let's go back and rest first, so as not to cause any trouble, okay?"
Although the prince was a little reluctant to give up, he had no choice but to obey the eunuch's hold. Soon, the eunuch and the palace maid left cleanly and closed the door.
There were no other people waiting in the Questioning Pavilion. The Queen Mother immediately stood up and stood aside to serve with her hands down. Wen Zhe sat down on the couch majestically. The Queen Mother immediately poured hot tea and held it in both hands: "Master Wen, please use the tea! "
Gu Shengchao saw it clearly from above. At first he thought he was dazzled, so he pinched himself hard before he believed that this was an absolute fact.
Wen Zhe took the tea cup and drank it down with peace of mind. He pulled the Queen into his arms and took up his hands. However, the Queen looked happy and said, "Does the promise made by Lord Wen count?"
"Of course." Wen Zhe said without hesitation: "When I kill this boy Juncheng, the world will not belong to you two."
The empress sat on Wen Zhe's lap and giggled: "When Hong'er ascends to the throne of God, the world's major events will still have to be decided by Mr. Wen. How can we orphans and widowed mothers understand this?"
Wen Zhe's big hands wandered around the Queen's body and asked: "Remember to take the medicine I gave you on time for the emperor to take. Your Majesty is weak and the medicine is too strong. If you die, it will be too ostentatious. Take your time. You will be seriously ill in less than a hundred days." Even gods can't save him. At that time, let Hong'er ascend the throne, and let that kid Juncheng be unable to fly."
The Queen Empress hugged Wen Zhe's neck and said softly: "I remember, I dissolved it into the soup every day for the Holy One to take. In the past few days, I started to cough, as if I had a cold. But the Ninth Prince has the support of the officials, so it is not that easy. Overturned."
Wen Zhe pinched the Queen's pink face with his right hand and said, "Don't worry, I have the support of King Wu Palace and Baisha City. Juncheng is the grasshopper of the Queen of Autumn, we can control it."
The empress was touched by Wen Zhe in her private area. She laughed wildly without fear of being overheard by the eunuchs outside. She said puzzledly: "I just don't understand. It would be great to let that boy Juncheng continue to be a hostage in Xileng Kingdom. I have to do it." If you exchange protons with the Serang Kingdom, you will be causing trouble for yourself."
Wen Zhe shook his head: "You don't understand. Letting the tiger return to the mountain will eventually bring disaster. Only by closing the door and beating the dog can we catch them all."
The Queen Empress praised: "Master Wen is still smarter. Prince Wu is the leading noble and decent sect in our Wu Dynasty. He is connected to the royal family by blood. He can obey Master Wen's orders, which shows that he is superior in skills."
Wen Zhe was overwhelmed with pride: "Wuwangdian is only interested in profit. As long as you give them benefits, of course you will obey. That kid Juncheng is just a prince with no power. Wuwangdian will not do business at a loss, so it is natural for him to join forces with me."
As Wen Zhe spoke, he subconsciously let go of his hand. The Empress picked up his hand and put it on her body again, "Juncheng's ability to return to the capital from the West Cold Kingdom alive is enough to prove that he is very cunning and it is not easy to kill him."
"The Criminal Department are all zombies, a bunch of trash. If I had let them die in the wilderness, how could they have come to the capital alive." Wen Zhe was angry, and his hands became stronger and squeezed the Queen. She couldn't bear it. He yelled "Ouch", then snuggled into Wen Zhe's arms and let him bully him.
Wen Zhe snorted coldly and said: "On the day of the Flower Appreciation Festival, I knew that Juncheng was going to do something secretly. Fortunately, the heavy rain helped me, but he didn't know that in a few days I would hold the Flower Appreciation Festival again in the name of the Holy One, so that They were unprepared and caught off guard. We were taking a boat ride on the lake to admire the moon. At this time, the water ghosts I secretly trained came out of the water with reed poles in their mouths, overturned their boats, and died in the water. Their lives. Those who are lucky enough to land are not afraid. With the help of King Wu Palace and Baisha City, as well as the elite Imperial Forest Army, they will never come back."
The queen's delicate body trembled under Wen Zhe's hands, and her moans became louder and louder, without caring about the eunuchs waiting outside. Suddenly, the eunuch outside knocked on the door softly and whispered: "Eunuch, the envoy from Baisha City has arrived at the palace gate."
Wen Zhe stopped moving and said disappointedly: "Okay."
The queen stood up in a hurry, straightened her crown, and ran out in messy clothes. The eunuchs were not surprised. One eunuch carried a lantern and led the way to lead the queen back to the palace.
Not long after, footsteps were heard in the distance. The footsteps were uniform, steady and powerful, as if a beast was coming from a distance, which made people feel frightened. Wen Zhe couldn't help but stand up from his bed and came to the door of the room to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Wen." A sonorous and powerful voice came.
"This is the hero who is known as the No. 1 Warrior of Beihu and is known as the Nine-Headed Wolf!" Wen Zhe greeted him with a smile.
"Where, I am Xian Yutie, the title of the number one warrior depends on everyone's love." Xian Yutie came to the door and bowed his hands in salute. His face showed a bronze color under the light of the lamp. His tall and strong figure had a big belly like Wen Zhe's, which surprised Gu Shengchao. You must know that dodge and move are very important for practicing martial arts. A big belly will hinder the flexibility of movements and make it impossible to perform many moves.
A total of five people strode in. Wen Zhe gave up his seat, but he still sat back on the sofa. Everyone in Xianyu Tie was not polite and sat down. Everyone had a big belly, which was like a round shield protecting their lower abdomen.
