Yuan Bao looked at him. When it comes to peace of mind, he is the only person His Majesty the Emperor can feel most at ease with. Is this a court official...
Ning Yunzhao had already reached out to pick it up from the shelf.
"This is going to be taken away."
"We can't keep this."
"This is His Majesty's favorite."
He picked them skillfully and neatly, moving faster than several chamberlains combined.
In any case, the emperor didn't even hide this kind of thing from him, and even took him with him. That's someone your Majesty can feel at ease with.
Since His Majesty is relieved, he should also be relieved.
"Then there is Lord Lao Ning." Yuan Bao said, turning to leave but then thought of something and pulled Ning Yunzhao, lowering his voice. "Hurry up and bring the most important things with you."
"Don't worry, father-in-law." Ning Yunzhao said in a low voice.
Yuan Bao then walked out quickly.
Ning Yunzhao continued to point to the things on the shelf.
"Put these away first," he said.
Several chamberlains were confused at this time, and when they saw Yuan Bao handing this place over to him, they naturally obeyed his orders and hurried over.
Ning Yunzhao went to look at the boxes that had been packed. He called the chamberlains to come here and picked some things to put in, and then asked them to go there. The four chamberlains were being ordered around and became more and more flustered.
"Come quickly, this must..."
Ning Yunzhao's voice sounded again, and several servants rushed over without waiting for him to finish.
"Be careful." Ning Yunzhao's voice shouted.
But it was still a step too late, because he was so panicked that he didn't notice that two chamberlains bumped into a box. They both fell down and the box was kicked over.
"Be careful, be careful." Another waiter stamped his feet anxiously.
Several people went to pick it up in a panic.
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Ning Yunzhao said, bending down and waving his hands, "Hurry up and finish the installation over there. It will be complete."
It was finally time to clean up, and several of the chamberlains felt inexplicably relieved, and hurriedly followed the instructions without being polite.
Ning Yunzhao squatted on the ground and put things back into the box one by one. Suddenly, a box seemed to be unsteadily opened and something fell out.
This is the jade seal.
Ning Yunzhao reached out and picked it up, but did not put it into the box. Instead, he stuffed it into the sleeve of his broad robe. The box he held in his other hand was closed at the same time, and he threw it into the box, and then put the rest as if nothing had happened.
The things were collected and packed and the box was closed.
"Okay." He stood up and said.
Several of the chamberlains over there had also finished packing and looked over. Just as they were about to speak, they saw a figure out of the corner of their eyes, and they couldn't help but tremble in fear.
"Who's there!" a waiter blurted out.
Ning Yunzhao froze, but he followed it with a natural expression and saw a person standing next to the column at the door of the hall.
He was wearing a scarlet robe, probably the same color as the column, or just as unpopular as the column. No one noticed him coming in, and no one knew how long he had been there.
This guy is like a ghost.
"Lu, Master Lu." Several chamberlains stammered.
Lu Yunqi looked at Ning Yunzhao.
Ning Yunzhao also looked at him and held his hands in front of him.
This look seemed to last for a blink of an eye, and seemed to be suffocatingly long.
"It's packed." Lu Yunqi said, "Let's go."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
"Hurry up."
"Lift up."
The chamberlains were talking and moving, making the palace noisy again and breaking the suffocation.
"I'm holding this little one." Ning Yunzhao followed. While helping, he glanced at the palace door again unintentionally.
Lu Yunqi's figure has disappeared.
The door of the emperor's palace was closed tightly, and several chamberlains stood quietly outside the door with their hands lowered. When they saw Lu Yunqi approaching, they all saluted.
"Eunuch Yuan is inside." A chamberlain reminded in a low voice.
Now Eunuch Yuan is very popular in front of the emperor, and his eunuchs are also out and about, and have a lot of unpleasantness with Beizhen Fusi. The two of them never appear in front of the emperor at the same time.
Sure enough, Lu Yunqi did not go inward when he heard this. He stopped beside them and stood quietly facing outward.
There were not only Eunuch Yuan in the palace, but also two of the Queen Mother's chamberlains.
The emperor was wrapped in a thick cloak and sitting on the bed, eating a bowl of soup.
"I understand. Tell the Queen Mother that I have taken all the medicine and tell her not to worry." He said with a strong nasal voice and put down the soup bowl with a somewhat joyful expression. "This eight-treasure soup sent by the Queen Mother is the best."
tasty."
The two eunuchs laughed.
"Your Majesty, the empress cooked this for you herself." A chamberlain said, "I have been watching for two whole hours, and I can only watch the size of the fire."
"The empress said that when you were a child, your majesty loved eating the eight-treasure soup she made the most." Another chamberlain also said with emotion.
The emperor sighed somewhat.
"Yes, I haven't eaten for many years." He said, feeling a little uneasy, "How can I let the queen endure like this... It's all of no use to me."
The two chamberlains were busy saluting.
"I dare not say that." A chamberlain said, "The empress said, Your Majesty, don't be anxious and take good care of yourself. There are so many troops stationed outside and so many people inside. Even if the Jin people come, there is nothing to fear. If you want to
Fight if you can, talk if you can, lie if you can, there are many ways, don’t scare yourself first..."
When he said this, the emperor suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed heavily, interrupting the chamberlain's words.
Yuan Bao was busy holding the tea bowl.
"Your Majesty." He patted her carefully while holding tea.
The emperor took a sip of tea to relieve his cough.
"Do you have any other instructions?" He asked respectfully in a hoarse voice.
The two chamberlains looked at each other.
"No, no, I just hope that your majesty will not be anxious, take good care of yourself, and don't be afraid," they said.
"Yes." The emperor said, with a bit of shame, "Let the Queen worry about it. I will take medicine and cover it up for one night. I will be fine tomorrow. I will go to see the Queen in person tomorrow."
The two chamberlains hurriedly responded and saluted again. Yuan Bao personally walked to the door. He watched the two chamberlains go out, closed the door and ran forward in three or two steps.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is in such great danger." He said in a low voice.
The emperor untied his cloak and threw it aside, revealing his neatly dressed robes.
This robe is not a dragon robe, but something commonly worn by rich people outside.
The emperor spat into the soup bowl in front of him and went in.
"You old man made soup for me and pretended to be a show-off. I loved eating it when I was a kid. When I was a kid, I could only watch others eat it." He said bitterly, "That damn ghost ate her to death. It's useless.
Now that I am useful and you want to feed me, I am not a fool."
Yuan Bao shook a dusty old hooded cloak and stepped forward cautiously.
"You've already been like this, and you're here to teach me a lesson. You think I'm useless and a waste." The emperor angrily took off his cloak and put it on, showing a cruel smile, "If you're good at what you do, then you'll wait to see Jin.
People."
After saying that, he looked at Yuan Bao.
Yuan Bao was so frightened by his expression that he forgot to say anything for a moment.
"Are you ready?" the emperor asked with a frown, then looked outside the door and raised his voice, "Where is Lu Yunqi? Is Lu Yunqi here?"
Lu Yunqi came in from outside and leaned over to salute.
"Everything is ready," he said.
"The news hasn't leaked yet?" the emperor asked.
Lu Yunqi responded yes.
"That's good." The emperor said with a sigh of relief, "The Jin people came to the capital, just to come to me and take me away from the palace like they did before."
He said this with a bit of a sneer.
"I am not the benevolent and filial Emperor who forgot his identity and went so far as to conscript himself as a gift to the Jin people. I am not that fool like King Su. I defended the imperial city and ended up losing my own life. I will not let the Jin people get their wish.
.”
He said as he pulled up his hat to cover his head and face.
"I left the capital, leaving you to rush in and rejoice in vain. When the reinforcements arrive from behind, what can you do?"
Yuan Bao lowered his head slightly and couldn't help but tremble.
However, this capital city, this imperial city, is not empty.
Not to mention that the capital city has a population of nearly one million, there are hundreds of thousands in the capital city alone.
If the golden man pounces... then this scene...
"What are you doing? What are you doing standing still? Do you want to stay here and wait to die?" the emperor shouted in a low voice.
The word death made Yuan Bao shiver.
No, no, of course he didn't want to die, he didn't want to die after the city was destroyed and massacred.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, let's go quickly." He hurriedly helped the emperor and said tremblingly.
........
.............
When dusk fell, the noisy capital city did not fall into silence. Instead, another kind of excitement began, especially tonight when more people poured into the city.
Tonight, in order to celebrate the annihilation of more than 300 golden soldiers on Jingdong Road, to dispel the frightened mood that has been felt since the beginning of the New Year, and to make up for the regret of missing the Lantern Festival due to the war, more than a dozen merchants have joined forces to hold a Lantern Festival.
Many officials had objected, believing that it was inappropriate during a war, but the emperor rejected it, saying that it was precisely because of the war that it was more important to appease the people.
At this time, the night has not yet completely fallen, and many lights in the city have been lit up, already showing a gleaming scene. Countless people have poured into the streets, waiting for the moment when the fireworks soar into the sky and the streets are filled with dazzling lights.
There was a sudden commotion on the busy street. Someone rushed into the crowd like crazy, stumbling around, causing a lot of exclamations and curses.
But the man didn't pay attention, but his expression turned pale, as if he was crazy.
"Jin Man! The Jin Man has arrived outside the city!" he shouted.
There was silence all around.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Crazy?"
"A lot of people have been scared crazy lately."
Immediately there was a burst of chatter and laughter, pointing at this person.
But soon a bigger commotion came from the direction of the city gate.
"The golden man is coming!"
"The city gate is closed!"
"The golden man is coming!"
"The Jinmen are coming!"
Continuous shouts came from the street, and people who were joking stopped, and their expressions changed from surprise to panic.
The shouts became more and more frequent, spreading from the four city gates, like a fire lit on a field of grass in winter.
The footsteps were chaotic, the cries were loud, and the entire capital was instantly on fire.
