The clock at the gate of Dahua Palace is at the second quarter of Mao hour.
In the twelfth lunar month, the nights are long and the days are short, and when the clock rings, the sky is just slightly bright.
"Creak~~~" After a muffled sound, the palace door opened.
A group of armored guards walked quickly out of the palace gate with guns in hand and set up sentry posts on both sides.
Not far away, there was a sound of horses honking.
Tens of feet away, a tall white-haired old man rode towards the palace.
Seeing this, the guards raised their guns in alarm. The centurion walked to the front of the queue, tightened his grip on the saber at his waist, and asked sternly: "This is a palace forbidden area, who is in front of you? Get off your horse quickly!"
"Elder Princess's Mansion Chu Zhong!" the white-haired old man replied from afar.
After Xia Chengxuan ascended the throne, he appointed Du Chong as Minister of Internal Affairs, in charge of the palace's garrison affairs. After all, the people he trusted the most were still the people in Prince Jia's Mansion.
After Du Chong took over the defense of the imperial city, he selected 6,000 people from the capital's Golden Guards, Shenshao Camp, and White Army, and reorganized them into the current Miyagi Garrison Battalion. All the leaders of the garrison camp were from jawans. The palace.
"Eunuch Chu?"
The centurion on duty was originally a soldier under Lu Jianting. He had stayed in Prince Jia's Mansion for seven or eight years. He naturally knew Chu Zhong and knew that he was actually one of the closest people to Emperor Ruilin. Hearing that it was him, he hurriedly Returning the sword to its sheath, he quickly came forward to meet him.
"Eunuch Chu, it's only two o'clock now, and all the offices and departments have just arrived. Is there anything urgent? Please let me go and report."
Chu Zhong shook his head and replied in a deep voice: "I have something urgent to go to see the emperor. Take me to the internal affairs room quickly."
Although he is a close confidant of the emperor, he does not just meet the emperor. According to the etiquette, he had to find Du Chong first, and Du Chong, the minister of internal affairs, took him to the inner garden of the imperial court, and then asked the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report.
Everyone who came from Prince Jaw's Mansion knows that Chu Zhong has a very high status in Prince Jaw's Mansion. Even Xia Muchao and Ran Jingru are very respectful to him. Du Chong, Zhou Xukuan, Lu Jianting and others have always treated him with courtesy as their elders. When the officer on duty heard that he wanted to see Du Chong, he did not dare to embarrass himself. After explaining a few words, he personally led a few people and led him quickly to the internal affairs room inside the palace gate.
... ...
Hen Hongchen's martial arts is considered to be top-notch among the Nine Halls. However, his internal strength is still far inferior to Zhang Suiguang's.
Zhang Suiguang came with the intention of killing him and made no reservations. He hated the kick Hongchen received on the abdomen, which caused the internal organs in his body to shift. The kick he received on his arm had broken his humerus into four parts.
All the old and young Taoist priests in Zhenwu Temple knew that she had something to do with Mei Yuanchen. Zhan Ming had also asked the disciples to take good care of her, but they didn't want Zhang Suiguang to seriously injure her just after she left for a while, so they all felt ashamed of Mei Yuanchen. Dust, with a look of shame on his face.
After Zhang Suiguang left, Zhan Qian immediately checked Hen Hongchen's pulse. Knowing that she was seriously injured, he sent his disciples to call Zhan Ming back.
Hen Hongchen took the analgesic from Zhenwu Temple and fell asleep slowly.
When Mei Yuanchen opened the door and went in, he saw her side face at a glance, and her whole body was frozen as if she had lost her soul.
"What's wrong?" Yun Xiaoyang from behind saw him standing at the door and didn't understand, so she couldn't help but asked softly. She looked at Hen Hongchen lying on the bed from the side and was dumbfounded.
"Miss Haitang?"
When she was in Jinzhou, she met Haitang several times and naturally remembered her description. Hen Hongchen was lying on the bed. Although her face was pale, Yun Xiaoyang still recognized her as "Haitang" at a glance.
That night, after Hen Hongchen took Mei Xinyue and Fu Changsheng out of the Anxian Salt Transportation Bureau, Jiu Qingqing discovered them quickly and hurriedly sent people to chase them.
In order to escape, she had to sneak into Jishi Hall not far away, handed the two infants to a female disciple of Suxin Palace, gave a few instructions and left quietly.
Although Yun Xiaoyang knew that there was such a person as "Hate Hongchen", she had never met her, and she did not know that she and Haitang were twin sisters. Therefore, she opened her mouth and called out "Haitang".
After hearing the word "Haitang", Mei Yuanchen dared to conclude that he had read it correctly. With a "whoop", he walked to the bed like the wind, stretched out his hand and held Hen Hongchen's hand.
"Get out of the way first and let me take a look at her injuries."
Mei Yuanchen nodded and stepped aside.
Hate Hongchen has been training hard since she was a child. She is not only good at martial arts, but also has a good physical condition. However, Zhang Suiguang still seriously injured her legs.
After reading it from beginning to end, Yun Xiaoyang said sternly to Mei Yuanchen and Zhan Ming: "Her spleen is ruptured and her internal organs are displaced. She is in urgent need of Ganoderma lucidum and Cordyceps powder. The humerus of her left arm is broken. She needs to pick it up quickly. I need it." Plaster and board. She has blood stasis in her abdominal cavity, and I will have to perform acupuncture on her in the past few days. Although the injury is serious, there is no fear for her life, don't worry."
"Okay, I'll borrow Ganoderma lucidum and Cordyceps from Xu Xiaoyi right away." After hearing this, Zhan Ming's face softened slightly, he patted Mei Yuanchen and replied softly.
Knowing that "Begonia" was not in danger, Mei Yuanchen's tense heart finally relaxed a little.
"Senior brother, Zhi Zhuo just said that it was Haitang who was injured by Zhang Suiguang, right?" He stood up from the edge of the bed, approached Zhan Qian, and asked in a deep voice.
For him, Haitang's "lost recovery" is an unimaginable thing, and he cannot agree to anyone who wants to harm her!
If anyone hurt her, he would seek justice no matter what.
Zhan Qian did not answer him directly, but said softly: "Junior brother, you are injured, and it is important to recuperate now. As for Zhang Suiguang's injury to Miss Bai, it is better to wait until after the martial arts alliance, and have Junior Brother Zhan Ming step in for you. Want to ask for an explanation? This person has extremely high martial arts skills, so don’t be impulsive!"
He and Zhang Suiguang exchanged palms, so he naturally knew how powerful the other party was. Although Mei Yuanchen is his junior fellow student, the two have never competed with each other, so they don't know the depth of it.
However, from Zhan Qian's point of view, no matter how talented he is, at his current age, he will never be Zhang Suiguang's opponent. If he approaches recklessly, he will most likely suffer losses.
"Senior brother, Haitang is more important to me than life. Now that she has been beaten and seriously injured, I... How can I just let it go and pretend not to know anything?" Mei Yuanchen gritted his teeth and said bitterly. replied.
Before he finished speaking, he left for the outside. Fortunately, Zhan Wei blocked the door in time and said seriously: "Junior brother, please listen to me."
Although Mei Yuanchen was furious, he would not forcefully push Zhan Wei away.
"That white girl on the bed, she is not Miss Haitang, but Miss Haitang's sister!" Zhan Wei put his hand against him and said to him softly.
When he said this, he clearly felt Mei Yuanchen's whole body shake.
"You... what did you say?" Mei Yuanchen stared at Zhan Wei with wide eyes and asked in disbelief, "How is it possible? How could it not be Haitang?"
First he lost and found again, and then gained and lost again. In just half a cup of tea, he experienced the joys and sorrows of life again.
"If Miss Bai hadn't told us personally, senior brother and I wouldn't have believed it." Zhan Wei sighed and comforted, "Junior brother, this Miss Bai came to us at the city gate and asked us to tell you to be careful about Zhang Suiguang. We'll see you When I met her, I thought she was Miss Haitang, but she said she was Miss Haitang’s sister.”
"She has been waiting here for more than ten days just to tell you to be careful of Zhang Suiguang. Unexpectedly, she herself was injured by Zhang Suiguang two days in a row."
