Hearing that there were thieves in the palace and the main area of the East Palace, Zhu Yunxi's eyes were cold and his muscles and bones were moving silently.
Now that the Crown Prince and his father have left Beijing for a tour to the west, Lu has been ordered to stay in the East Palace to copy scriptures and pray for blessings. The affairs of the East Palace have also been personally ordered by his father and handed over to his own hands.
It happened that at this moment, something happened in the East Palace.
What does this mean?
Are you saying that you are not good enough to take charge of the affairs of the East Palace after the Crown Prince leaves the capital for a tour to the west?
Zhu Yunxi's face had a thick layer of gloom.
Is there any thief in the majestic Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace who can pass through the many palace restrictions and come to the important place of the East Palace?
At this time, Sun Cheng had already fetched a Yanling sword that Zhu Yunxi had recently used for martial arts training and gave it to Zhu Yunxi.
At this time, fire was blazing outside the palace garden, and the sound of rushing footsteps could be heard from countless maids and guards in the East Palace.
Zhu Huang timidly wanted to step forward and hug Zhu Yunxi, but was hugged tightly by Cai Die who came out from behind.
Cai Die and Cailian looked at Zhu Yunxi's back with worried eyes.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Zhu Yunxi hummed without looking back, immediately clenched the scabbard, and looked at Sun Cheng: "Ask someone to follow you!"
The two led other pro-military guards and left the palace in a burst of wind.
At this time, the entire East Palace was in chaos, and it looked like a scene of chaos.
Sun Cheng led his people to protect him in front of Zhu Yunxi, looked back at the third master, and immediately grabbed a little palace lady who ran in front of him.
The little Gong'e, who was being carried by the fierce Sun Cheng, trembled all over when she saw his face, and lowered her head in fear, looking nervous.
Sun Cheng said in a deep voice: "What happened in the palace?"
There was nervousness and fear on the pretty face of the little palace lady. Knowing that Sun Cheng was from the third master's side, she hesitated and whispered: "A thief came in, bumped into the empress' side, and knocked over the candle. If it weren't for
I discovered it just in time and almost lost my life."
After hearing this, Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows.
He took a closer look at the little palace lady and saw that her dress was still stained with ashes and water stains, so he guessed that she was probably from the Lu family.
He immediately said: "Sun Cheng, follow me to the Crown Princess's place to protect her safety!"
Immediately, everyone walked straight to Lu's palace without stopping.
Along the way, even among the shrubs in the East Palace, people were seen searching and rummaging through them.
No, you can see several guards emerging from the palace walls.
Zhu Yunxi and others rushed all the way to the outside of Lu's palace, and saw more guards and palace people gathered here.
The main door of Lu's palace was tightly closed, and only bursts of movement could be heard from inside.
"Third Master, he belongs to Zhang Zhiyuan."
Sun Cheng, who was guarding the way ahead, looked at the hands at the door of the Crown Princess's palace, turned around and whispered a reminder.
Zhu Yunxi looked around and saw that Zhang Zhiyuan, who had now raised the general flag, was leading his own people and guarding the gate of the Crown Princess's bedroom with the East Palace guards.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi coming with someone, Zhang Zhiyuan had already noticed their presence, and his eyes came over quietly.
Zhu Yunxi led people forward.
"What happened in the Crown Princess's palace? Was the Crown Princess disturbed and tortured by thieves?"
After sweeping past the officers and soldiers blocking the palace door, Zhu Yunxi asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately stepped forward: "Reporting to Your Highness, the Crown Princess is safe, and the Second Master is accompanying the Crown Princess in the palace."
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Open the door, I want to say hello to the Crown Princess."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi took Sun Cheng and others to knock on the door.
Zhang Zhiyuan glanced at Zhu Yunxi silently. When the leader of the East Palace guard was about to exit, he held a knife in front of Zhu Yunxi.
In full view of everyone, Zhang Zhiyuan looked troubled, but he stood firmly in front of Prince Huaiyou.
Zhu Yunxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then anger appeared on his face, and he shouted in a deep voice: "What are you going to do! I want to go in to greet the Crown Princess now! Guard the left and right, and don't let the thieves act arrogantly!"
A few squeaks.
Sun Cheng and others behind Zhu Yunxi had already unsheathed their willow leaves and assumed a charging posture, ready to rush through these people who were blocking the princess's palace at any time.
The atmosphere instantly reached freezing point.
But Sun Cheng and the others could draw their swords, but those of them who were guarding the princess's chamber could not fight back.
In front of the Prince of Huaiyou County, they did not dare to break the rules and do anything transgressive.
However, under everyone's gaze, Zhang Zhiyuan showed no hesitation and showed the Yan Ling Dao in his hand without any fear.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess and the Second Master have an order that no one is allowed to enter tonight!"
Zhu Yunxi's face suddenly darkened, he took a step forward and asked: "You dare to stop me?"
Zhang Zhiyuan's whole body trembled: "Your Highness, this is the Crown Princess's order!"
Mr. Zhang is so brave!
Zhang Zongqi actually dared to stand in front of the Prince of Huaiyou without any fear for the sake of the Crown Princess and Prince Guangling.
Witnessing Zhang Zhiyuan's blocking move, people around him cast nervous and admiring glances.
Zhu Yunxi had a gloomy look on his face, staring intently at Zhang Zhiyuan who was standing in front of him.
Snap!
A crisp sound was heard in front of the princess's chamber.
Zhu Yunxi's face was full of coldness: "Presumptuous!"
Zhang Zhiyuan, the pro-army Yulinwei general banner and the pro-army guard of the Guangling County Prince in the East Palace, had half his face red and swollen. He lowered his head and still stubbornly stood in front of Zhu Yunxi.
"Tiger!"
Sun Cheng, who was behind, led his men with a low roar and stepped forward with a knife.
He led the people and approached Zhang Zhiyuan step by step. The two of them were almost face to face. He forced Zhang Zhiyuan aside and opened a path for Zhu Yunxi directly to the main entrance of the Crown Princess's palace.
Zhu Yunxi, escorted by Sun Cheng and others, walked all the way to the door of the palace.
"Who is making noise outside? Didn't you hear the mother and concubine's instructions?"
At this moment, a gap opened in the main door of Lu's palace, and Zhu Yunwen's head showed up.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi standing at the door of the palace with his leader showing the blade, Zhu Yunwen's eyes twitched.
Before he could speak.
Sun Cheng had already sent someone forward to push the palace door open.
When Zhu Yunwen was about to get angry and scold him.
Zhu Yunxi had already spoken: "Second brother, I have received orders from my father to take charge of the affairs of the East Palace after my father left the capital for a tour to the west. There is an accident in the East Palace tonight. I am bringing people to greet the Crown Princess, and I will be guarding her!"
After saying that, he had already stepped into the princess's chamber.
Zhu Yunwen was blocked by someone, with an angry look on his face, and he yelled: "Zhu Yunxi, what are you going to do! My mother and concubine have suffered a lot tonight, and I have issued an order that no one is allowed to enter!"
Zhu Yunxi looked back and glanced at Zhu Yunzhen lightly.
Looking at Zhu Yunwen with an angry face and hatred flashing in his eyes.
Zhu Yunxi directly ignored the other party's yelling. Now this good second brother has no chance to fight for anything.
Sun Cheng also never opened his eyes to look at Zhu Yunwen, but walked to the third master and whispered in his ear: "Zhang Zhiyuan said that there is a ghost in the palace."
"Is there a ghost?"
Zhu Yunxi frowned and looked at the princess's bedroom, which smelled of charcoal.
