Empress Chu

Useless.

Even if those guards knew him, they wouldn't open the door for him without an order.

Eunuch Qi retreated step by step, it was useless to call out his name, and he couldn't call the little Highness down, inside the closed palace gate, even if His Majesty was still alive, who knew how many strange thoughts were hidden.

Now he can only hope that the imperial guards will report to the emperor, and hope that the emperor will know what his return means. After all, he was sent by His Majesty to serve and take care of His Highness.

They didn't go forward any more, no arrows were shot from the palace gate, and no one came out to fight them.

"I understand what Mr. Xie's words mean." Eunuch Qi said helplessly, then looked at Chu Zhao beside him, "Then just wait."

Anyway, there is no danger at the gate of the imperial city now.

Wait?

Chu Zhao looked at the palace gate ahead, and the horse paced back and forth.

"Eunuch Qi, the palace gate guards don't know you. Apart from obeying His Majesty's orders, there is another possibility." She said, "It's someone else who controls the inner palace."

Is someone else in control of the content?The imperial concubine and the third prince?

Then we can't stay here anymore!

The people in the inner palace also knew that he was serving His Highness, and when the news came in, there would be a massacre.

Let's just say it's an adventure!Now turn around—

Before Eunuch Qi could speak, he saw the girl urging the horse forward.

"Master Deng—" she shouted loudly, "Master Deng, I am Chu Zhao—"

Lord Deng?

Eunuch Qi was stunned, who is Mr. Deng referring to?He did know a man named Deng Yi, and he had recommended it to His Majesty, but how could this little official control the inner palace?

……

……

Compared with the imperial city, the gate wall of the inner palace is not so high and thick.

Deng Yi was in the hall of duty behind the palace gate, and the girl's voice came from the blue mist.

The imperial guard also came in at this time to ask for instructions: "Teacher, someone is calling you, what should I do?"

Deng Yi ordered that no matter who approached the inner palace, anyone who came to claim to be an escort to ask His Majesty if he was safe would be killed without mercy.

As for that Eunuch Qi, so what if he is the eunuch next to His Majesty?

The third prince is still the emperor's own son, and Concubine Zhao is still the emperor's pillow.

However, the person who came did not call to see His Majesty, but called Lord Deng, and reported that his family was not a servant of the emperor's relatives, but a girl who had never appeared in the court.

This is not the expected situation, the guards can only come to ask for instructions.

Chu Zhao?

Deng Yi looked up at the high palace wall, a little surprised, he knew that many people would come to this imperial city, but he didn't expect that the first one to come was this girl.

He smiled again, dispelling his surprise, and it's not surprising that Chu Ling, who can make King Zhongshan and the Xie family make friends, is naturally not a real ordinary person.

"There are quite a few of them, not a mob." The imperial guard continued, "There are rules for marching, and their strength should not be underestimated."

And the breath is strange, not the familiar air of the ranks.

Strangeness is scary.

Deng Yi said: "Don't be afraid." He put down the paper and stood up, "I'll go and have a look."

……

……

A figure appeared above the gate of the inner palace. He waved his sleeves, seeming to disperse the azure mist.

Even though it wasn't winter, even though he wasn't wearing a black fur coat with gold trim, and he didn't have any entourage surrounded by iron armor and golden swords, Chu Zhao recognized it at a glance.

She saw Mrs. Deng again.

Taifu Deng was wearing a red and black official robe, and there were no guards around him. He stood alone on the gate of the palace, like a lone crane.

Just like in that life, he really became a tutor again.

Moreover, it controls the inner palace city.

"Master Deng." Chu Zhao shouted loudly, smiling, "Master Deng, I am Chu Zhao."

Standing on the top of the city gate, Deng Yi could already see the girl clearly through the misty blue color, even if he couldn't see clearly, he could still recognize her.

He nodded: "Miss Chu."

He looked calm and said hello as if he met him on the road, without the slightest surprise or joy.

Chu Zhao's smile was a bit embarrassing, yes, they didn't know each other well, and they did because they were escorted. Seeing Deng Yi became a tutor, why was she happy.

Deng Yi seems to have become the Taifu in his destiny, so his next step is to respectfully welcome Xiao Xun as the crown prince.

"Master Deng." Chu Zhao hurriedly said, pressing the shoulder of the child in front of him, "I brought your Highness with me."

In this life, His Royal Highness is still alive, and the Crown Prince still has a queen, so His Majesty does not need to adopt Xiao Xun as the Crown Prince.

Deng Yi looked down and saw the child in front of Chu Zhao, his expression remained the same, neither excited nor questioned.

"It's great that your Highness is with Miss Chu." He said, "Then please Miss Chu continue to protect His Highness, it's not safe here, Miss Chu will take His Highness away first."

what?

it turns out--

Chu Zhao was startled, surprised, but it seemed that there was nothing unexpected.

Eunuch Qi was shocked. Originally seeing Deng Yi appearing, he was happier than Chu Zhao. This kid was more powerful than he imagined. The reason why he supported Deng Yi in front of the emperor was that he thought he could be useful. As for how to use him, he didn’t know Think about it.

I didn't expect this to happen.

Deng Yi stood out from the chaos.

This is probably called time and fate.

No matter what, Deng Yi must know who gave him this fate. When the crown prince passed by and Eunuch Zhu wanted to take the opportunity to teach Deng Yi a lesson, he was the one who stopped him. Deng Yi also understood at that time and gave him a salute to thank him.

That's great, Deng Yi must know what to do when he sees His Highness and sees him!

But now what is this?

Deng Yi looked at His Royal Highness indifferently, and wanted to drive him away?

"Deng Yi!" He stepped forward and shouted, "You are crazy, this is Your Highness!"

Deng Yi looked at him: "Eunuch Qi, it's even better if you're here. With you taking care of His Highness, His Majesty will feel more at ease."

Eunuch Qi has been immersed in the imperial city for a long time, so he still doesn't understand at this moment.

His face was pale.

Your Majesty may be safe, but the palace city has indeed changed its owner.

Deng Yi!

Who is he from?

Concubine?

Hearing Deng Yi and Eunuch Qi's words again, Chu Zhao's heart suddenly sank, she understood, it seems that Deng Yi at this moment has already chosen Xiao Xun as the prince.

On the road at that time, she was still staring at Deng Yi and King Zhongshan talking, probably at that time, Deng Yi and King Zhongshan were old friends.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he was the one who came to track her down, and it was King Zhongshan who reached out to stop her.

Chu Zhao looked at the inner palace gate, which was so close that she couldn't go in.

She hugged the child in front of her tightly, and rescued the child from Xiao Xun's grasp, could she still not stop Xiao Xun's fate of becoming emperor?

"Miss Chu, let's go—" Eunuch Qi gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, looking bitterly at the people standing above the city gate.

In fact, it is not certain whether we can go or not.

Since Deng Yi refused to let His Highness see His Majesty, would he really let the prince's orphan go?It is safest to cut the weeds and root them out.

Perhaps, he has no ability to fight, defending the city is easy, but fighting is not easy, then take advantage of Deng Yi's powerlessness and run away.

As long as there is life, there is always hope.

Deng Yi on the top of the city gate seemed to have seen through his mind, smiled, turned around and left first.

He is leaving.

And so he went.

Can't let him go!

"Deng Yi!" Chu Zhao shouted, "You owe me a meal!"

owe a meal?

Eunuch Qi was stunned, what did he say at this time?What's wrong with missing a meal?What if I owe two or three meals?

Deng Yi, who turned around and walked on the city gate, stopped.

Chapter 119 Please come in

owe a meal.

Deng Yi looked at the girl downstairs at the city gate and smiled.

"Sure enough, food in the world is not free." He said, "I thought Miss Chu was very generous."

Chu Zhao looked at him: "I am very generous, and I will not be stingy with rewards when I ask for it. Mr. Deng has also seen it along the way. I am not indebted to anyone who has helped me."

This girl lied and acted along the way, and she was indeed generous.

but--

"Miss Chu." Deng Yi looked at her, "It's more about temptation than reward. Without those rewards, you can't drive them."

Speaking of which, he smiled.

"Miss Chu is very generous, but one meal is not enough to tempt me, Deng Yi."

He reached out and waved lightly.

"Miss Chu, if you can come here, I won't stop you from leaving, so let's go."

Eunuch Qi was already in a hurry, and urged Chu Zhao: "Let's go."

What Deng Yi said was obvious. He knew that Chu Zhao was able to come here because of Chu Ling's hidden ability, and because he was concerned about Chu Ling, he would not make things difficult for them and let them go.

Come on, as long as you're alive, there's always a chance.

His Majesty is still there, General Chu has the Longwei Army, and although the Yang family is destroyed, the Xie family still has a foundation, so His Highness still has a chance.

Chu Zhao held the reins and looked at Deng Yi who was about to turn around and leave again on the top of the city gate. The horse seemed to know her mood, and spun around on the spot.

She could indeed leave the imperial city and the capital smoothly, and even return to the border county and her father smoothly, but what about after that?

What about after Xiao Xun becomes emperor?

Not to mention the embarrassing identity of His Royal Highness, how could King Zhongshan and his son let him go.

If Xiao Xun was destined to ascend the throne, wouldn't the young Highness and her also be destined to die?

She must not go!

"Master Deng." She called again, "I invite you to dinner, not to seduce you, but to give you a gift. I know that adults are extraordinary, and I hope that one day in the future, you can raise your hand to help me survive."

Eunuch Qi was stunned, is this flattering Deng Yi?Is it a bit late to be nice now?

Turning around on the city wall, Deng Yi couldn't help laughing. He looked back at the girl downstairs at the city gate again. So, it wasn't a meal, it was an eye for a hero.

Seeing him turning back and smiling, Chu Zhao hurriedly looked at him: "Master Deng, that meal was worth a few taels of silver, which is worth mentioning, but that was the greatest sincerity that I, Chu Zhao, could give at that time. My lord, I, Chu Zhao, will never be stingy, even if I am tempting others on the road, I will still give out everything I can."

Deng Yi looked at the girl downstairs at the city gate, looked at the pleading in her eyes, and, firmness.

The sincerity she could show at that time was a meal.

After that, the sincerity she can get is not just a meal.
