The old palace man was a little slippery when he walked under the corridor, but this was a rule. If the master walked on the corridor, the slaves had to walk below, and they were not qualified to walk side by side with the masters.
The old palace man walked unsteadily, and Yeluen felt as if he had walked for a long time before reaching his destination.
He looked up and saw that it was not the main hall of Ziyu Palace, but the side hall. This was against the rules.
It is said that among the concubines in the palace, the one with the highest position lives in the main hall, while the side hall is reserved for the lower-ranked harem women.
Why did Rong Ziyu meet him in the side hall?
The old palace man glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty, there is only one empress in the Purple Jade Palace, our master."
Oh, that's right, the entire palace belongs to her anyway, and she can live wherever she wants.
Yeluen thought about these unimportant things to distract himself from his nervousness, and then he bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Yeluen, pays homage to your empress."
The door to the palace opposite was still open, but there was no reply.
Yeluen then looked at the old palace man.
The old palace man said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I just asked you to come here and didn't say anything else. I have no choice but to do what I was ordered to do."
Yeluen nodded and waved his hand, "In that case, then go in and tell the queen that the king has arrived."
The old palace man shook his head and said, "I don't dare. Your Majesty never allows your servants to enter the palace. Your Majesty, you should go in by yourself."
He lowered his head as he spoke, and Yeluen did not see the cold light flashing in his eyes.
Yeluen looked at the two doors in the middle. They were decorated with the same delicate patterns as the Linghua doors in the palace, but they were obviously in disrepair. The red paint was mottled, revealing the color of the wood underneath, making it look a bit dilapidated.
.
Presumably, she had a very unhappy life in the palace.
Yeluen sighed, and his heart began to hurt again.
After standing for a moment, he said again: "Since it is inconvenient for your Majesty to see guests, I'd better go back."
He came to ask for a meeting, but Rong Ziyu didn't take the initiative to see him. It might be inconvenient, so he'd better not go in.
After all, this is her palace, this is the royal palace, she is Yelu Feixiong's concubine, and since she is a prince, it is better to avoid suspicion.
Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain at that time. In that case, Yelu Feixiong will misunderstand her even more.
He can't ruin her innocence because of his own impulse.
With that said, he turned around and left.
But the old palace man said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has said, please come in."
Yeluen looked at him and frowned slightly, "Isn't it convenient for your Majesty to see guests? Why don't you show up?"
The old palace man didn't say anything, but sighed, "My queen has been unwell for a long time, and it's only been so long that the prince has come to visit her."
When Yeluen heard this, he glanced at him and said, "Mother, are you not feeling well? Have you called the imperial doctor?"
The old palace man shook his head and said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty refuses. Your Majesty must know your temper."
Yeluen was sad.
No matter who is right or wrong about his grudges with Rong Ziyu, there is actually no need to explore them anymore.
He thought for a while and then said: "The king has something important to come to consult the empress today, so it would be rude."
With that said, he stepped forward and pushed open the two water chestnut doors.
With a creak, the door opened, and a cool aroma rushed in, which lifted Yeluen's spirits.
He walked in slowly, and the old palace man outside stared at his back, his eyes becoming more and more sinister. It was so cold that it made people feel creepy.
