The night is fading, like clear water rippling, and layers of palaces gradually surface.
Chu Zhao failed to break into the water.
As they approached, there were dense rain of arrows flying in the palace city ahead.
"Back back!"
Fortunately, even though he was running in the palace city, Long Wei's army also lined up to protect Chu Zhao in the middle. However, Eunuch Qi was watching the palace gate, and rushed forward excitedly, almost being shot through by arrows.
Eunuch Qi looked down at the trembling arrow feathers inserted into the gap between the bricks at his feet, both annoyed and frightened.
I was angry that it was better if the guards in the imperial city didn't recognize him. After all, he hadn't come out for many years and was only in the inner palace. How could the guards in the inner palace not recognize him?
The fear is because of this merciless feather arrow. Is something wrong with His Majesty?
"I am Qi Xuan, Eunuch Qi." He shouted again, "Go and report to Your Majesty, I am back-"
The palace gate opposite had no response.
But he knew that if he dared to step forward again, the feathered arrows would still fly over, and he rushed over with his name before.
No use.
Even if the guards knew him, they would not open the door for him without orders.
Eunuch Qi retreated step by step, and it was useless to call out his name, and he couldn't call him down. In the closed palace gate, even if His Majesty was alive, who knew how many strange thoughts were hidden?
Now he could only hope that the guards would report to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would know what it means to come back, after all, he was sent by His Majesty to serve and take care of His Highness.
They no longer stepped forward, no feather arrows shot from the palace gate, and no one came out to fight with them.
"I understand what the young master of the Xie family means." Eunuch Qi said helplessly, looking at Chu Zhao beside him, "Then wait."
Anyway, there is no danger at the Imperial City Gate now.
wait?
Chu Zhao looked at the palace gate in front of him, and the horse paced back and forth.
"Eunuch Qi, the palace guards don't recognize you. In addition to obeying the orders, there is another possibility that they are." She said, "It is someone who controls the inner palace."
Is it someone who has the content? Is the third prince of the imperial concubine?
Then you can't stop here!
The people in the inner palace also knew that he was serving His Highness. When the news came in, a massacre would inevitably come.
Just say it's an adventure! Turn around now-
Before Eunuch Qi could speak, he saw the girl urging her horse to move forward.
"Mr. Deng—" she shouted loudly, "Mr. Deng, I am Chu Zhao—"
Lord Deng?
Eunuch Qi was shocked. Who is Lord Deng referring to? He knew that a man named Deng Yi had also recommended him to His Majesty, but how could this little official control the inner palace?
......
......
The inner palace gate wall is not as tall as the imperial city.
Deng Yi was in the palace behind the palace gate, and the girl's voice floated from the blue mist.
The imperial guards also came in at this time to ask for instructions: "Taifu, what should you do if you call Taifu?"
Deng Yi ordered that no matter who approaches the inner palace, those who claim to be protectors will come to ask His Majesty whether he is safe or not, they will be killed without mercy as long as they are approaching.
As for that Eunuch Qi, what if he is the eunuch next to His Majesty?
The third prince is still the emperor's own son, and Concubine Zhao is also the emperor's pillow.
However, the visitor did not shout to see His Majesty, but called Lord Deng. He reported that his family was not a servant of the royal family, but a girl who had never appeared in the palace.
This was not the expected situation, and the guards could only 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 would arrive was this girl.
He smiled again, dissipating his surprise. It was not surprising that Chu Ku, who could make friends with both the King of Zhongshan and the Xie family, was naturally not a real ordinary person.
"They have a lot of people, not a scramble." The guard continued, "There are rules for marching, and the strength should not be underestimated."
And the breath is unfamiliar, not the familiar spirit of the army.
Strangeness makes people frighten.
Deng Yi said: "Don't be afraid." He put down the textbook and stood up, "I'll go and take a look."
.........
.........
A figure appeared on the inner palace gate tower. He waved his sleeves, as if dispersing the sky-blue mist.
Although it was not winter, although he was not wearing a black fur coat with gold edges, and there was no follower of iron armor, golden swords and black swords around him, Chu Zhao recognized it at a glance.
She met Mr. Deng again.
Taifu Deng was wearing a red and black official robe, and there was no guard around him. He stood alone on the palace gate, like a lonely crane.
Just like in that life, he became the Grand Tutor again.
Moreover, he controls this inner palace city.
"Mr. Deng." Chu Zhao shouted loudly, smiling, "Mr. Deng, I am Chu Zhao."
Standing on the city gate tower, through the dark green color, Deng Yi could already see the girl clearly, and even if he couldn't see clearly, he could recognize her.
He nodded: "Miss Chu."
His expression and voice were calm, as if he had seen him on the road, without any surprise or joy.
Chu Zhao smiled a little embarrassedly, yes, they were actually not familiar with each other, and they were familiar with each other because of escorts. How happy she was to see Deng Yi become the Grand Tutor?
Deng Yi was like being the Grand Tutor in his destiny, so his next step was to welcome Xiao Xun to be the crown prince.
"Mr. Deng." Chu Zhao said hurriedly, holding down the shoulder of the child in front of him, "I brought your highness."
Your Highness is still here in this life, and the prince is still there. Your Majesty does not need to adopt Xiao Xun as the prince.
Deng Yi looked down at the child in front of Chu Zhao, and he still looked unexcited or questioned.
"It's great that your highness is with Miss Chu." He said, "Then please ask Miss Chu to continue to protect your highness. It's not safe here. Miss Chu will take Your Highness away first."
What?
it turns out--
Chu Zhao was stunned, unexpected, and seemed to be nothing unexpected.
Eunuch Qi was shocked. He was even happier than Chu Zhao when he saw Deng Yi appear. This kid was even more powerful than he thought. The reason why he supported Deng Yi in front of the emperor was that he thought this person was available. As for how to use it, he had not yet thought about it.
Unexpectedly, this happened.
Deng Yi stood out in chaos.
This is probably called Shi Ye's fate.
No matter what, Deng Yi must know who gave him this fate. When the prince passed by and Eunuch Zhu wanted to take the opportunity to teach Deng Yi a lesson, he stopped him. Deng Yi also understood and thanked him.
That’s great. Deng Yi must know how to do it when he sees His Highness and when he sees him!
But what is this now?
Deng Yi saw that the little prince was indifferent 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 would be better if you are here. If you take care of Your Highness, your Majesty will be more at ease."
Eunuch Qi has been immersed in the imperial city for a long time, but he still doesn’t understand at this moment.
His face turned pale.
Your Majesty may be safe, but the inner palace city has indeed changed its master.
Deng Yi!
Whose person is he?
Imperial concubine?
Listening to Deng Yi and Eunuch Qi's words, Chu Zhao's heart was slowly sinking. She understood that it seemed that Deng Yi had chosen Xiao Xun as the crown prince at this moment.
At that time, she was still staring at Deng Yi and the King of Zhongshan. At that time, Deng Yi and the King of Zhongshan were already old friends.
Otherwise, why would it be so coincidental that he was here to investigate her, but it was the King of Zhongshan who reached out to stop her.
Chu Zhao looked at the inner palace gate, so close that she couldn't walk in.
She held the child in front of her tightly and saved the child from Xiao Xun. Can she still not stop Xiao Xun's fate as emperor?
"Miss Chu, go--" Eunuch Qi gritted his teeth and whispered, looking at the people standing on the city gate tower.
In fact, it is not certain whether you can leave.
Since Deng Yi refused to let Your Highness meet His Majesty, would he really be willing to let the prince’s orphan be spared? The safest thing is to eliminate the roots.
Perhaps, he is unable to fight, it is easy to defend the city, but it is not easy to fight, so let's take advantage of Deng Yi's powerlessness and escape quickly.
As long as you are alive, there is always hope.
Deng Yi on the city gate tower seemed to see through his thoughts, smiled, and turned around to say goodbye first.
He is leaving.
He just left.
Can't let him go!
"Deng Yi!" Chu Zhao shouted, "You owe me a meal!"
Owe a meal?
Eunuch Qi was shocked. What was he saying at this time? What was wrong with owe a meal? What could he do if he owe two or three meals?
Chapter completed!
