When Li Qiu heard this, he gasped: "Da Lang? What are you doing in Yumen Street?!" Yumen Street is connected to the palace gate of Xiqi Palace. Generally speaking, Yumen Street will think of the palace gate.

Zhao Yuan's face was expressionless, and he slowly got out of bed.The knee hurts when he moves, but he still can't bear it. He frowned slightly, and moved towards Mu Shi's place with one leg. If he wants to go to the palace gate, he must at least dress neatly. You have to be charged with a disorderly appearance in front of the palace gate.

Li Qiu seemed to be aware of Zhao Yuan's indifference to her, coupled with those inexplicable thoughts just now, he was a little flustered.She hurriedly got up to support the little boy, sat on her knees and begged: "Lang, please listen to me, sir, just go to the palace to discuss with Zhi Jinwu about the guards of the ceremony. Don't make trouble, just in case If something goes wrong, how can I explain to the gentleman?"

Zhao Yuan didn't look at her, pointed to Mu Shi and said: "I don't want to go outside the palace gate and wait for my father, how can I make trouble? Go and change my clothes, if you don't want to, it's the same if I ask Li Xia to come in. "After that, I will call someone.

Li Qiu was in a hurry, Mr. Lang had only called her before, because he was afraid that people in the house would be disturbed.In desperation, she had no choice but to take the clothes for him to change into. She felt uneasy and didn't know what was wrong with Da Lang, so she suddenly lost her temper.

The inner court guard directly invited Zhao Chen to enter the car, and none of the personal guards around him gave way.Jia Xun and others were in the guard camp in the outskirts, and the city gate was closed before dawn, and Yi Tuo and others guarded the door, waiting for Lu Hui to come over.He was not surprised when he saw Zhao Yuan being hugged by Li Qiu.

When Li Qiu saw him, he felt relieved, and said, "Yicu, at least you can persuade Da Lang not to go out."

Unexpectedly, Yi Tuo looked at Zhao Yuan, and there was agreement in his tone: "Da Lang will go as soon as he goes, and the subordinates will go with him in the car."

Only then did Zhao Yuan show a small smile.

When the two got into the Xuan car and Li Qiu looked down at them anxiously, Zhao Yuan's heart softened.He has always known that Li Qiu, this woman is different from Li Chun and the others, she really only recognizes her father in her heart, only cares about her father, and to him, but because of her father's love, she loves the house and the crow.

Li Qiu probably knows that he is not my father's biological son.

Zhao Yuan thought to himself: I can accept that Li Qiu has opinions on me, but I can't stand Li Qiu stopping me from seeing my father.In this world, only Father can blame him, other than that, no one has the right to tell him what to do.No matter what others think, as long as Father doesn't dislike him, he doesn't need to care about other people's eyes.

"Auntie, the night dew is cold, go in quickly." Zhao Yuan sighed, and said softly to Liqiu, "Don't worry, I will wait for Father in the distance, and I will never cause trouble for him."

Li Qiu forced a smile: "I have nothing to worry about." She felt that her tone was too harsh, and said again, "Guard B, be careful about Da Lang's knees, don't let him catch cold." After speaking, she stuffed herself again. A bag of things was put into his arms, "This is for your stomachs on the road, and there is a pot of hot tea in the car."

Xuan car moved forward slowly, and the moonlight poured in from the gap of the car curtain like water.Zhao Yuan gently opened the curtain and looked back, seeing Li Qiu wearing thin clothes, still standing on the steps watching them from a distance, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart.Everything he had always thought seemed untrue. Li Qiu who raised him since he was a child, such a kind and gentle Li Qiu, what did he think of him in his heart?

He would rather not know this kind of answer for the rest of his life.

Only Father is real, only Father.

He lowered the curtain in frustration and bowed his head in silence.

Yi Tuo had never had such an opportunity to sit in the same car with their young master, so close.He quietly observed the child sitting next to him...too small, with a big head, a thin neck, and weak shoulders, hanging down like this—won't it break?He secretly shivered, and couldn't help but glance towards Zhao Yuan again.

The young master seems to be in a low mood, with long eyelashes hanging down, against the pink skin, he looks very cute... It looks very pitiful, just like the young deer he and Xiao Bing once caught, with their eyes wide open. Big woof eyes whined at them, and yes, that fawn had long eyelashes too.

"Hey, do you want to eat something to make up for it?" Yi Cuo asked out of words.

He thought that Zhao Yuan might not pay attention to him, but the little man raised his head immediately: "What kind of food?"

Yi Cuu was stunned, so he laughed, showing his white teeth.He took the small parcel that Liqiu handed him and opened it. Inside were rice balls wrapped in small fragrant leaves. One was dipped with sesame seeds, and the other was dipped in soy flour.

He took one and handed it to Zhao Yuan: "It's a rice dumpling, can you eat it, Mr. Xiaolang?"

The rice ball is not big for Yi Cuu, but Zhao Yuan needs both hands to hold it. He reached out to take it, took a bite, and knew it was Liqiu's handicraft, with brown sugar stuffing inside.This food may seem inconspicuous, but it is not ordinary to be able to afford rice, let alone making rice into such a snack?

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but ask Yi Cuo, "Should I make a fuss about coming out?"

But Yi Cuo said: "Master Lang told his subordinates, if Xiaolang wants to go to Yumen Street, his subordinates just follow him."

Why?Zhao Yuan opened his eyes wide.After a long time, he was able to come out because his father left a message... It was strange that Dao Yixuan actually spoke for him and still followed him, and he still pretended to think that his protagonist's luck and domineering spirit finally appeared.

At this time, Yi Cuo added another sentence: "Besides, my subordinates are also worried about the Lord Lang. They just go to wait in front of the Xuanmen, and it doesn't matter if you think about it."

Only then did Zhao Yuan realize that this guy was trying to comfort him?

At the end of Yumen Street, after passing the Qilin Bridge, there is a black building gate, which is heavily guarded.After passing through the gate of this building, it is considered to have entered the range of Qi Qi Palace.There shouldn't be any cars on the road at this time, so a Jin Wuwei guard shouted from a distance: "Who is in front, before the hour, the Taoist door will not be opened!"

Zhao Yuan couldn't help looking at Yi Cuo, who was calm and motioned for the horse servant to move on.Soon they heard the sound of a neat line of footsteps, and the clang of armor against each other.

"Stop!" a voice snapped.

The horse servant then reined in the reins, and the Xuan car stopped slowly.

Yi Tuo carried Zhao Yuan behind him with one hand, and the curtain of the car was pushed aside by a long halberd, and the bright torch approached.The man holding the halberd was dressed as a Jinwu guard, similar to the uniform of the inner court guard, but the palace armor was gilded, reflecting the dazzling light in the firelight.

"At the General's Mansion?" the man said suddenly.

Yi Cuu then took out the waist card that Zhao Chen had left for him, the man's face was blurred, after a while he slowly backed away and retracted the halberd.The curtain of the car slowly fell, blocking the bright firelight.

"Open the door." The voice didn't speak to them.

As the column of soldiers left, the Xuan car swayed forward again. Looking at the curtains, Zhao Yuan felt that balls of torches fell behind their car, and the surrounding became quiet again.

"Did that person see the coat of arms of the Zhao family just now?" Zhao Yuan lifted the curtain of the car and looked around, but he didn't see his own flag.Strange, how did the person just now recognize them?

Yi Cuo was thoughtful: "I didn't plant a flag today... that person looks familiar."

Although the name of Xiqi Palace is a palace, it occupies a large area. It was built by Zhao royal family with the efforts of several generations of court craftsmen. There are many palaces, countless pavilions, large and small courtyards, and the terrain is also high.Generally speaking, Yumen Street is still the central axis, and all buildings are basically symmetrically arranged on both sides.

Zhao Chen entered the palace gate and arrived at the square in front of the hall. He was supposed to go straight up the thousand steps to meet Cheng Gong in the front hall, but the little eunuch who led the way lowered his head and led him to turn to the right.

"I don't know where Xiaogong wants to take me?" Zhao Chen stopped, his voice slightly cold.

The little eunuch stood in the middle of the narrow palace road, heard the words and bowed respectfully: "The general just follow the slave, but don't say much about the rest."

Zhao Chen had no choice but to continue walking with him, passing through a rich lacquered door with carved beams and painted buildings, he was shocked to see four women dressed as palace servants standing inside the door, and then realized that he had entered the inner palace unknowingly!Furious, he grabbed the young eunuch by the collar of his back coat and pulled him towards him, gritted his teeth and asked, "You're trying to kill me! Who sent you here?!"

The little eunuch was trembling with fear from his murderous look, but he still didn't dare to say more.Among the four maidservants guarding the gate, the woman on the right spoke at this moment: "Why should the general embarrass a little eunuch like him? You will know when you come with the maidservant."

Zhao Chen's face was cold, his hands relaxed, and the little eunuch immediately scrambled away.He stared at a few palace maids, but saw that they were standing freely, their bodies were straight, and their clothes were very regular, and they couldn't see anything special.

"Please come with the maidservant." The maidservant spoke again.

Zhao Chen knew that he had fallen into the trap this time, but if he didn't fall into the trap, he wouldn't be able to see the person who set it up.This trip is decided.

He said in a deep voice, "Lead the way."

Four palace maids led the way with moderate steps, two of them held brocade palace lanterns in their hands. The group of them passed through a flower gate covered with roses and entered a several-story courtyard. It is still early, and you can also see the exotic flowers and plants in this courtyard. Although it is almost late autumn, the garden is still full of fragrance.A white marble rainbow bridge spans the lake and connects the palace in the middle of the lake.

Zhao Chen had already guessed at this time, who would dare to fake the monarch's warrant to trick him into the inner palace.He looked up, and there was a plaque on the palace saying Feng Ling You Yi, which was the residence of Wang Ji Zhao Jing.

There are three entrances to the palace. The first entrance is paved with bricks and equipped with weapon racks, the second entrance is the atrium garden, and the third entrance is Zhao Jing's residence.

Zhao Chen stood outside the door and stopped, but soon stopped hesitating.Foreign ministers entered the inner palace, if they were found out, they would die, and whether they could enter Fengling Palace was no longer the key.

"Wang Ji, the general has arrived." The palace maid knelt on the porch and said softly.

Inside, there were two maidservants, one on the left and one on the right opened the door curtain of nine-fold gauze, and a row of golden bells at the end of the curtain jingled.The maid at the front turned sideways slightly, and said to Zhao Chen, "Wang Ji, please come in." The corner of her eyes slightly glanced at the saber at Zhao Chen's waist, "Please leave the saber, and this servant will take good care of it for you."

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand, unloaded Tong Ling, and threw it to the maidservant. Seeing that the woman couldn't catch the knife with both hands, and almost fell backwards, he raised the corners of his mouth, and went into the room on the corridor.

The beams of the main room are high and wide, and a heavy veil hangs down, and is tied with a ribbon on a carved column. A gold-lacquered peony painting screen is placed directly opposite the gate. It's cushions, red and gold-woven lichens are spread on the Xuan seats, and an incense burner is set in the corner of the room, and the fragrance seems to be there but not there.

Seeing that Zhao Jing was not in the main room, he frowned, but the maidservants seemed not to notice, and still led him all the way to the inner room.The inner room is as private to an unmarried woman as the body is private and cannot be seen by outside men, even fathers and brothers do not enter.He couldn't bear it any longer, and turned around to leave, but Zhao Jing's weak voice came from the partition in the inner room.

"Zhao Chen, don't go!"

With his back to the partition door, Zhao Chen kept walking, and there was a sudden rustling of clothes in the inner room.Then with stumbling steps, the partition was pushed open, and Zhao Jing's voice sounded clearly and flustered behind Zhao Chen.

"Don't go! I, I know your son's secret!"
