Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen met Ning Yongnian in the Changchun Palace of Concubine Hua.
Even if the emperor was called down from the concubine's bed in the middle of the night, there would be no one left.
However, the more this happens, the more the anger of the Wei family is highlighted.
"..."
"What?!"
"Is there such a thing?!"
In the luxurious hall surrounded by fragrance, Ning Yongnian slammed the tea cup on the table with a look of anger on his face.
"I will send someone to investigate right now, and the mastermind behind the scenes will be found out! No matter who it is, they will be severely punished!!"
"Oh, by the way, Aiqing also wants that mica mushroom, right...come here!"
"My servant is here." The old eunuch opened the door and came in.
"The Tianshan Sect gave me a piece of mica a while ago, and I kept it in my private treasury."
Ning Yongnian looked at the old eunuch, waved his hand and ordered: "Hurry up and find it! Someone in Wei Aiqing's family is waiting for this to save his life!"
"Yes! I'll go right away, slave!"
The old eunuch responded and immediately turned around and went out in a hurry, but he slowly stopped just after walking out of the Changchun Palace.
The little eunuch following him was a little confused: "Father, aren't we going to find that mica? Why don't we leave?"
"The mica is gone."
"Ah? How do you know it's gone when you haven't even looked for it?"
The young eunuch was greatly surprised: "Father, could it be you..."
"Shut up! Why did I accept such a loser like you!"
The old eunuch glared at the young eunuch angrily and lowered his voice to explain: "The emperor said it's gone, so it's gone!"
"Where is your Majesty..."
The young eunuch wanted to argue again, but when he saw the old eunuch's eyes, he shrank his neck and changed his question.
"My son is stupid, so I need my adoptive father to give me some advice."
"snort!"
The old eunuch exhaled through his nostrils, stroked the young eunuch's hand and asked, "Let me ask you, when the emperor spoke to me just now, did you see clearly how his hands were placed outside the door?"
"ah?"
The young eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then he reluctantly replied after recalling: "I only remember that the emperor did wave his hand to his adoptive father. How exactly did he wave it... It seems like this?"
One of his hands was touched by the old eunuch, and the other hand waved left and right in the air twice.
"You have some sense."
The old eunuch nodded and explained: "Today I will tell you this habit of the emperor, please listen carefully."
"When the emperor orders something in front of outsiders, he waves his hands left and right to indicate not to do it, and waves his hands back and forth to indicate he is going to do it."
"You remember?"
"Ah! Remember."
The young eunuch nodded first, then shook his head and asked in confusion: "But why is the emperor unwilling to give Mr. Wei that mica mushroom? Isn't there someone in the Wei family who is waiting for this thing to save his life?"
"Of course it's because the emperor is unwilling to save that man's life."
"Why not save? This is not a good time to win over the Wei family..."
"okay!"
The old eunuch suddenly gave a sharp shout and stopped explaining.
"Just figure it out for yourself!"
…
…
Hanging Mirror Division.
When Wei Changtian dried the rice paper filled with words and put it into an envelope, and then put the envelope into his chest, the mother-in-law jade around his waist also started to feel hot.
Sure enough, just as he thought, Ning Yongnian did not take out the mica.
The skill of intensifying conflicts is slippery.
He sighed softly, stood up and walked out of the room, walking along the stone path to the deepest part of the Xuanjing Department.
It was already late at night, and apart from the occasional patrolling sentry, there was no one on the road. Only a small building was heavily guarded.
The architectural style of this small building is different from other buildings in Xuanjing Division. There are no windows or plaques in the whole building, only a tightly closed black iron door... At first glance, it looks a bit like a fortress in a previous life.
This door has been opened a total of thirteen times in the more than four hundred years since the establishment of the Xuanjing Division. The last time was more than sixty years ago, when a five-hundred-year-old monster appeared on the outskirts of the city.
As for what is in such a mysterious building?
There is only one thing - ancestral jade.
The mother jade is an object worn by everyone in the hanging mirror department. If the mother jade is burned, the child jade will also become hot.
This process is point-to-point, equivalent to a two-way conversation.
But Zuyu is different. As long as the Zuyu is burned, all the Ziyu associated with it will react, which is a bit like sending a group text message.
As for how many group text messages Zuyu in this small building can send...
Except for the internal guards who have to protect the palace, they are all the people in charge of the Xuanjing Department.
In other words, if someone sends this signal...Hualing Guards, Buyi Guards, Zongmi Department, Liuye Department, and Niangan Department all have no missions in Beijing, and they all need to arrive at the Xuanjing Division within a quarter of an hour.
The Yamen is at your disposal.
With such a battle, it is no wonder that this gate has only been opened thirteen times in more than four hundred years.
"Master Wei! Why are you still in the Yamen?"
Seeing Wei Changtian approaching, several guards on the night shift immediately straightened up and greeted, "Isn't today the Double Ninth Festival? You didn't go to appreciate the chrysanthemums?"
"No."
Wei Changtian shook his head and said with a smile, "Brothers, please open the door."
"It's easy to talk, let's just...what?!"
All the officers' eyes widened for a moment, thinking that they heard wrongly: "Wei, Mr. Wei, you just said..."
"I said……"
Wei Changtian looked as usual, with a smile still hanging on his lips: "Open the door."
"Sir, I dare to ask you a question."
One of the smarter guards asked in a low voice: "Do you know what is inside this door?"
"Of course I know."
"Then...what big thing happened? Did the commander ask you to come?"
"This matter has nothing to do with my father."
"..."
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Several guards looked at each other in disbelief. Although no one said a word, they all stood in front of the iron gate in unison, forming a confrontation with Wei Changtian.
There are three keys to open this door. One is in the hands of the previous commanders of the Xuanjing Division, one is in the hands of the previous emperors, and the other...
"According to the regulations of the Xuanjing Department, if there is a serious emergency and there is no time to report it!"
Wei Changtian pointed to the black key embedded in the keyhole and shouted in a deep voice: "Anyone can open this door Zhuoyu!"
"What do you mean by blocking the door now?!"
"this……"
Now the guards were even more dumbfounded.
Wei Changtian is right. The Xuanjing Division does have such a rule - if there is a particularly serious situation and it is too late to report it, everyone can come here to open the door.
The original intention of setting up this third key is to prevent the waste of time in reporting at different levels, causing the best time to respond to the crisis to be missed.
but……
But since the establishment of the Daxuanjing Division, there has never been a time when anyone other than the commander and the emperor came to open the door!
After all, once the ancestral jade is burned, it is equivalent to sounding the highest level of city-wide alarm, and the consequences this may cause...
"Wei, Mr. Wei, why are you..."
"You have no right to know."
"Then why don't you ask the command first..."
"I said, this matter has nothing to do with my father."
Wei Changtian completely lost his patience.
Qiuyun has more than an hour left to live, and he must get the mica mushroom before then.
Stepping in front of the guards, Wei Changtian's tone was ferocious for the first time, his eyes fixed on the key on the black iron door.
"If anything happens, I will bear the responsibility alone and it has nothing to do with you!"
