Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

Xu Chengze returned to Ninghe Palace, threw his head on the bed, fell into a coma, and didn't wake up until noon.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Alian's sad face.

"Alian, what's wrong with you?"

A-Lian said softly: "Princess, what are you trying to do? That emperor is so nice that you treat him with all your heart? You are so sick and insist on going to see him, but he doesn't know anything ah!"

Xu Chengze sat up slowly, and said with a smile: "It's because he doesn't know anything that I help him! If he knows everything, how can I have a chance? I do so much now because I want to wait for him to know the truth Afterwards, we will be spared the death penalty."

Mentioning this, Alian sighed, "Princess, no matter what, I and Yi Na are very grateful to you."

"Well. I am also very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."

"How could it be? You are so smart, even without us, you would have saved yourself from danger. I'm afraid, we are still dragging you down.

"

"Silly girl, since entering the palace, the fate of the three of us has been tied together. Don't say such things in the future. Don't worry, I will always try my best to save our lives."

"Princess, are you awake?"

Yi Na came in with her toiletries, saw that Alian's eyes were red, and didn't ask any further questions.She knew that Alian was more emotional than herself, but she didn't know what touched her heartstrings.

She said lightly: "Princess, it's already noon, you haven't eaten breakfast, must you be hungry?"

Xu Chengze had a good night's sleep and felt much better. He was indeed hungry.

He got out of bed, washed and changed his clothes.

"How's the situation with the Queen?"

Yi Na said: "Master Song of the Clan Mansion has arrived, and I heard that the trial has been going on all morning. The Kunning Palace is still surrounded, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. By the way, the Empress Dowager issued a decree, saying that the recent Go to Ding Xing."

Xu Chengze said: "This is good news."

"say,,

疋.

Xu Chengze had lunch, read a book for a while, and felt a little drowsy again.

The book fell on the table, waking him up.

He looked more closely, but squinted for less than half an hour.

He stood up and walked around, feeling that he was trapped in the big cage of the imperial palace, and he knew nothing about the outside world. He was just talking on paper and couldn't really help Guo Heng at all.

If you want to help Guo Heng, you can't rely on the information Guo Heng provided to him, but you have to collect it yourself, including both on the surface and in the dark.

He knew that the emperor had hidden guards, but their duty was only to protect the emperor's safety, and what he needed now was someone who could collect and pass on various information.This kind of person does not need much effort, as long as they are well-informed, but where can I find these people?Brother Yu knows kung fu, but he is too irritable and doesn't care about court affairs, so he is not a suitable candidate.Who should I turn to?

Xu Chengze walked around the room a few times with his hands behind his back, and stopped suddenly, I should go out of the palace to have a look.Isn't it the fastest news delivery?There is truth in the rumors!

He called Yi Na, and Yi Na hurried in.

"What is the princess' order?"

Xu Chengze said: "I want to leave the palace, can you find a way?"

Yi Na was shocked, "Princess, you mean to leave the palace at night?"

"No, it's daytime."

"Princess, this... is difficult. The palace is heavily guarded, it is difficult to go out at night, let alone during the day? And you have a special status, I am afraid that you can't even get out of this inner palace."

"Yes!"

Xu Chengze lowered his head, he doesn't know martial arts, even going out of the palace at night is an extravagant hope, let alone during the day.But what he wants to do, he must go out during the day.Moreover, the last few days are the best chance to leave the palace.There is no need for the empress dowager and empress to make up their minds. The emperor also strictly ordered all concubines to abide by the palace. He does not need to go out, and no outsiders will come to his Ninghe palace. This opportunity is too rare.

But, how could I go out in broad daylight?

"Princess, someone is asking to see you."

Alian's expression was very strange.

"Oh? Who?"

Xu Chengze wondered, didn't the concubine be allowed to go out?Who will come?To be honest, he didn't want to greet those concubines, sisters and sisters, it was too embarrassing.

A-Lian said: "Princess, it's a young man. He said his name is Kong Qingping. He said that as long as you give his name, you will see him."

Kong Qingping?The son of Kongfuma, the Marquis of Jiayue, and the emperor's direct cousin, I just met him a few days ago.what is he doing

What?

Xu Chengze lowered his head, saw that his clothes were messy, and said, "A-Lian invites someone in, and I'll change my clothes and go out."

A-Lian stood still hesitantly, "Princess, men and women don't know each other. You are a concubine in the harem, how can you meet foreign ministers? You are still a young man?"

Xu Chengze raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Qingping is not considered a foreign minister, he is the emperor's cousin. Since he can enter the inner palace, he dares to come to see me, so what am I afraid of?"

"Princess, you can't rely on the emperor to favor you, so you just ignore it..."

Xu Chengze smiled helplessly, "Alian, don't worry, I know it well. The emperor won't misunderstand."

"All right!"

Seeing that Xu Chengze was very calm, Alian had no choice but to go out to greet the man surnamed Kong.

Kong Qingping sat on a chair drinking tea, looking at the decorations in Ninghe Palace.The tables, chairs, and benches are all high-quality rosewood. Wherever you look, there are all beautiful decorations and all the utensils are fine.It seems that my imperial brother really has a deep affection for this princess.

Brother Huang has always been a cold person, why is he so affectionate towards a foreign princess?Kong Qingping was puzzled.In his impression, Guo Heng is not a person who is obsessed with beauty.Among the women who can enter the palace, which one is not good-looking?But Guo Heng was indifferent to them, even Concubine Lin Xian, who had two children, didn't necessarily think he was so attentive.

Kong Qingping didn't know how different this Adele was, was it just because she was good-looking?Although she was indeed beautiful, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

He was meditating when he heard a low voice.

"I don't know that the prince is here, but Adela is neglecting her. Please forgive me, my lord."

Kong Qingping hurriedly got up and saluted, "My brother dares to come here, please forgive my sister-in-law!"

Xu Chengze remembered seeing him by the Taiye Pond, with a playful smile on his face, with a bit of mischievousness, but now he was wearing a brand-new robe, with a stiff look, a bit unlike him.But when he heard him call out "Emperor's Wife", I laughed secretly in my heart, he!still that naughty boy

child.

Xu Chengze said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't bark, the empress is your serious emperor's wife."

There was no joke on Kong Qingping's face, "This is what the emperor asked the minister to shout, don't be embarrassed by the emperor's wife." Xu Chengze had no choice but to ask him to sit down, "Why did the prince come to the inner palace?"

Kong Qingping thanked him for sitting down, and said: "The minister came to the palace to look for the emperor's brother. The emperor was busy with government affairs and ignored the minister. The minister then went into the inner palace to see the old concubine Yi. After going out, I thought of the emperor's wife, and I said a word to the emperor's wife. Unforgettable to see, shocked to heaven, so I came to see you. Also please don't mention it to the emperor's sister-in-law."

Old lady Yi?Xu Chengze had heard of it.Her own son died at a young age.The eldest princess's mother, that is, the first emperor's mother, happened to pass away, and the eldest princess had no one to take care of her. She took the initiative to raise the eldest princess under her knees.There is a nurturing grace for the eldest princess.Therefore, after the first emperor ascended the throne, he named her Concubine Yi.In this way, Kong Qingping is her grandson.Later, after the death of the first emperor, she moved to live in Kangtai Hall, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha every day, and did not ask about the affairs of the palace.

When Kong Qingping was young, his body was weak and he seldom entered the palace.But every time I come, I will go to see Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yi also regards him as her grandchild.Now in this palace, the only people she cares about are Guo Heng and Kong Qingping.

Old Concubine Yi's nephew, Mu Yuanzhong, is the current Great General of Zhenbei. He is brave and good at fighting.

Because of the care of the former emperor's brothers and sisters and the strong support of her natal family, Old Concubine Yi has a very high status in the palace.

Xu Chengze thought about these intricate relationships, but said: "Your Majesty is joking. It is my honor to be favored by your Majesty. However, if I don't mention it to the Emperor, will the Emperor know? This is the Imperial Palace! "

That's what he said, but Xu Chengze didn't worry at all that the emperor would know that Kong Qingping had come to see him.Although there is a difference between men and women, it is strictly forbidden for officials outside the palace to enter.But Kong Qingping has a special status. He is the emperor's cousin, the nominal grandson of Concubine Yi, and a real relative of the emperor.Moreover, he and Kong Qingping are innocent, and he is not afraid of crooked shadows or gossip.

Kong Qingping smiled brightly, "What the emperor's wife said is true, I really admire the emperor's wife, so there is nothing I can't say."

"The son's words are very true."

After chatting a few gossips with Kong Qingping, Xu Chengze gradually had an idea in his mind.

He tentatively said: "I heard that the emperor wanted to appoint the son as the servant of the official department, but the son did not agree, I don't know why?"

Kong Qingping looked at Xu Chengze suddenly with serious eyes, does this woman know that concubines in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics?What's more, she is the princess of the Southern Border Kingdom?Isn't she afraid that I will join the emperor?

But Xu Chengze's face was calm, Kong Qingping didn't know whether he was just curious or had some thoughts.

The stern light in Kong Qingping's eyes flashed, he raised his brows, and said deliberately: "Now there is Grand Master Yan in charge of the court, and I am dignified Jiayue Hou Shizi, I don't want to see his face."

Xu Chengze put down his teacup and smiled faintly, "You don't want to see the grand master's face, so why don't you have the heart to let the emperor keep looking at his face? It's still the court of Daliang Kingdom, but how many ministers in the court are on the emperor's side? You He is the emperor's cousin, so he has the heart to let the emperor fight alone in the court? If Yan Zheng is sincere for the country and the people, with the emperor's mind, how can the emperor not respect him? But how can he deserve the emperor to treat him like this?"

Did she say these words in order to let me enter the court as an official to help Guo Heng?

Kong Qingping had a look of embarrassment on his face, "I can't decide this matter, I need my father's consent."

Xu Chengze sighed softly, "Your Majesty, the biggest difficulty your Majesty is facing now is that no one is available to you."

Kong Qingping raised his eyes to look at the beauty sitting in front of him, and saw that she lowered her head slightly, drinking water calmly, as if she didn't know how shocking what she just said was.

He was suspicious in his heart, and heard her say: "Does the prince really want to help the emperor?"
