Ning Dai asked Yuan Zhuo what to do, and Yuan Zhuo said to help him get dressed, and at the same time sent Yuan'er to light the candles in the house.

The confused Yuan'er got the order and finally found the backbone, so she quickly followed the instructions, and the room was soon lit with candles.

People outside saw it and stopped shouting inside.

Yuan Zhuo dressed up with Ning Dai's help. Ning Dai was worried and took a fur cloak and put it on him to make sure he wouldn't catch the cold. Then she opened the door and walked out together.

As soon as they left the house, a hunky-backed middle-aged man strode forward. Behind him, a line of soldiers wearing heavy armor lined up, already surrounding the courtyard.

Qingshan and Yeliu were surrounded by several soldiers. The soldiers' hands were on their swords, ready to draw them out at any time.

Ning Dai frowned slightly and looked coldly at the person approaching.

The man who stepped forward was Yang Hezheng who had called out just now. He stood five steps away from Ning Dai and the others, and gave a hasty salute with cupped fists.

This ceremony was already careless, but the person thought it was too slow and didn't even finish it. He couldn't wait to say, "I'm bothering you late at night. I hope you'll forgive me."

He said he was sorry, but neither his tone nor his attitude showed any humility at all, which made people want to kick him in the face.

Yuan Zhuo coughed twice and said in a calm tone: "What is the purpose of Commander Yang's late night visit?"

Yang Hezheng grinned: "I have been ordered to come here to invite the prince to the palace."

Under orders?

The emperor's order?

Why did the emperor let them enter the palace in the middle of the night?

Ning Dai couldn't help but wonder to herself, could it be that what they said about the princes in the afternoon was spread to the emperor's ears, and the emperor was unhappy and wanted to call them to attack the emperor?

The emperor's hidden secrets are really comparable to the emperor's stuff factory of the Zhu family.

Of course, this is just her wild imagination. People who have seen a lot of troubles will not believe this nonsense, not to mention that the situation in front of them is clearly not simple. There is no need for such a pomp to launch an investigation.

When Yuan Zhuo heard this, his expression darkened significantly.

He glanced at the people around him calmly, then looked at Yang Hezheng and said, "Since I came here under orders, I will go with you."

Even the self-identification has been changed.

Ning Dai glanced at him involuntarily and did not make any expression.

Yang Hezheng chuckled and said before Ning Dai: "Your Majesty, my order is to invite the Prince and the Princess to enter the palace together."

Being robbed by him, Ning Dai felt relieved.

It's good that she wasn't left behind.

Otherwise, I would really be worried about this sick man.

Yuan Zhuo pursed his lips, looked at Yang Hezheng with cold eyes, and said nothing.

After Yang Hezheng finished speaking, he didn't give them any more time and urged them to leave for the palace immediately. When urging them, he also showed an attitude that if they couldn't go away, don't blame the big bosses for using violence.

Ning Dai and Yuan Zhuo looked at each other and walked out.

Due to Yuan Zhuo's physical condition, Yang Hezheng arranged a carriage for him personally.

It's just that tonight's carriage is not as comprehensive, comfortable and soft as it is when traveling on a regular basis. It is simply the worst low-end car.

Ning Dai's butt hurts from sitting down, let alone Yuan Zhuo, who has such a weak body.

With no other choice, Ning Dai could only try to let him lean on her.

The journey from the palace to the palace is not short.

Sniffing Ning Dai's faint fragrance, Yuan Zhuo sighed softly.

"Don't sigh when you have nothing to do. You are not a seventy-year-old."

Yuan Zhuo originally wanted to answer, but his uncontrollable cough interrupted his thoughts.

Ning Dai didn't have time to speak either.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the palace gate.

When they entered the palace last time, Yuan Zhuo's car was allowed to drive all the way into the palace and directly to its destination. But this time, they lost this privilege.

The only way to enter the palace was by walking.

The palace minister, but the road was brightly lit, and there was nothing like the "deep palace" mentioned in the poetry and calligraphy books. A few steps away, you could see soldiers stationed on both sides.

The firelight swayed with the cold wind, and the swaying soldiers' armor was half-dark and half-dark, which was extremely depressing.

Halfway through, Ning Dai couldn't help but sigh: "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, what a wonderful turn of events."

"Huh?" Yuan Zhuo next to him was puzzled.

Ning Dai looked back at him, then looked towards the long palace road, and sighed again.

"Nothing, I just remembered something from the distant past."

"What kind of past events?" Yuan Zhuo changed his usual temperament and now felt a little more motivated to break the casserole and ask the truth.

Anyway, it wasn't anything that couldn't be said, so Ning Dai told him.

"I just remembered that the last time I faced a similar situation, I was not in this position. The final winner was me." Just a little bit, she became the leader's woman.

When I think back on how impassioned and energetic I was back then, it makes me laugh a little compared to now.

Last time, it was a big deal. She walked with her head high and stepped into the nine-layered palace to open a new world. But now she doesn't know what the future holds. She is weak, pitiful and helpless, accompanying another who is sick, pitiful and helpless.

Let’s help each other and step into this heavily guarded palace together.

"Do you think things have changed?"

Yuan Zhuo had never participated in that world, and could only rely on her words to imagine it. As soon as he imagined how unparalleled she would be, a sense of joy overflowed from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"You two, you are still laughing after what happened." Yang Hezheng, who was leading the way, couldn't hear everything the two people behind him said, but he heard all about Yuan Zhuo's good mood and couldn't help but feel bad about it.

He turned around and said something.

"You have to worry about having fun in the midst of suffering? Are you free?" When she was in the palace before, Ning Dai didn't say a word, but now she couldn't hold it in, and she didn't want to hold it in anymore.

Yang Hezheng: "..."

Yang Hezheng's old face suddenly looked down, he stared at Ning Dai and sneered.

Ning Dai rolled her eyes.

Since it was night now and she was afraid that the other party's eyes would not work well, Ning Dai deliberately rolled her eyes thoroughly to make sure that the other party could see clearly.

Facts proved that her goal was achieved. Yang Hezheng looked at her eyes that almost rolled to the sky and felt extremely unhappy.

After all, he is a big man, and he cannot bear it when a woman rolls her eyes.

If he hadn't seen that his destination was about to arrive, he would have done something wrong, and he was told before going to the palace not to hurt the lives of these two people. Both Yang and Zheng wanted Ning Dai to understand her current identity.

Do you still think you are Princess Jin Gong? After tonight, it is hard to say what she will be and whether she will be alive.

All Yang Hezheng could do now was to turn around and speed up his pace deliberately.

His move really made Ning Dai quite unhappy.
