Chen Lin glanced vaguely left and right, and after confirming that no one was there, she asked Kou Ji vigilantly, "Someone leaked the news to you?"
Kou Ji's eyes fell on the palace beside him and murmured to himself, "It's really hiding people..."
"To answer my question, who leaked the information to you?"
Chen Lin's eyes were gloomy and her tone was stiff.
Kou Ji twitched his lips and said dryly: "Are you afraid that I will leak the news, or are you afraid that others will talk nonsense?"
Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji and gritted her teeth: "Our family is worried that others will leak the news and it will harm you later."
Kou Ji clicked his lips, looked at Chen Lin seriously and said: "You are a pretty good eunuch..."
Chen Lin stared at him, "Is now the time to talk about this?"
Kou Ji spread his hands and said, "I guessed it."
Chen Lin looked unbelieving.
Kou Ji sighed and said: "When the officials were about to confer the title of National Preceptor, I guessed that the officials were going to kill him. I also heard that the officials were going to hold a ceremony to confer the title of National Preceptor in the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
Then the place to take action must be Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
Being canonized as a national advisor is a big deal.
There must be many Taoists coming to watch the ceremony.
To execute these people without leaving any trace, a lot of soldiers would be needed.
The only places that can hide those soldiers are these palaces."
Chen Lin was obviously relieved when she heard that Kou Ji had guessed it.
Chen Linrao glanced at Kou Ji meaningfully, "You are quite smart...but you are smart, but you have not learned to be careful in your words and deeds."
Chen Lin stepped forward and continued to walk forward. As she walked, she said quietly: "Our family is not from a good background and we don't know much about the truth. We have stayed in this palace peacefully for these years by being cautious in our words and deeds.
When it comes to secrets, our family knows more than anyone else.
But our family has never said a word to anyone.
Some secrets, once you know them, will kill you if they are revealed.
The palace contains the most deadly secrets..."
Kou Ji followed Chen Lin's footsteps and asked sideways: "You don't seem to care much about the official's arrangement in Yuqing Zhaoying Palace being revealed?"
Chen Lin paused at her feet and sighed: "This palace is the place with the most secrets, and it is also the place where secrets are least hidden. Our family can't control others, we can only control ourselves and not talk too much."
Kou Ji nodded slowly and did not ask what the meaning of this sentence was.
This sentence is easy to understand.
The most powerful person in the world lives in the palace, and every move he makes is taboo.
However, there are countless people in the world who want to know these taboos.
Among the maids, eunuchs, and concubines in the palace, there were many spies sent in by interested parties.
Even some concubines had connections outside the palace and secretly revealed the secrets of the palace.
After Chen Lin said this, she said no more.
Kou Ji didn't even join in to ask for trouble.
The two of them bypassed the Nine Layers Palace Gate, turned a corner at Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, and arrived at the Star Observation Tower next to it.
Downstairs from the Star Observation Building, people from three floors outside and three floors outside the Imperial Guard were standing guard.
Chen Lin showed her a waist card, and the imperial guards let the two of them in.
Follow the stairs of the Star Observation Tower and spiral up.
When they reached the second floor, Chen Lin's feet suddenly stopped, and Kou Ji was stunned.
Before he could react, Chen Lin pushed him from behind.
Kou Ji was immediately pushed into the main hall on the second floor of the Star Observation Tower.
Before Kou Ji could take a closer look, he heard a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha... Xiao Kou Aiqing is here!"
Zhao Heng's voice.
Kou Ji's first reaction was not to salute Zhao Heng, but to turn around and look at Chen Lin with an angry face.
"Damn eunuch! You tricked me!"
Chen Lin rolled her eyes and said in a very low voice: "If it weren't for the official's approval, how could our family bring you here..."
Zhao Heng, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the middle of the hall, saw this scene and laughed even louder.
He has a good impression of Kou Ji, and many of Kou Ji's rude actions are laughable in his eyes.
He felt that Kou Ji behaved openly and informally in front of him, which was much better than his hypocritical courtiers.
Zhao Heng laughed and said: "Xiao Kou Aiqing, don't blame Chen Lin. I asked Chen Lin not to disturb anyone and brought you here, but I didn't expect that Chen Lin would actually dress you up as a eunuch and wrong you.
Already."
Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin and slowly entered the hall.
"Your Majesty Kou Ji, please visit the official family."
Zhao Heng waved his hand and said: "I love you without any courtesy."
After Kou Ji got up, Zhao Heng said loudly to the royal relatives and civil and military officials in the hall: "My dear friends, haven't you been asking me recently about the crime of treason committed by those officials who were executed by me?
?
The person to answer your questions is here."
After Zhao Heng finished speaking, except for a few insiders, most people's eyes fell on Kou Ji.
Kou Ji instantly felt like he was being roasted on a fire.
He didn't understand Zhao Heng's intention of doing this.
Kou Ji quietly looked at the situation in the palace.
In the hall, there are three levels of seats.
Zhao Heng and Liu E sat high on the highest step.
On the second level, all the people sitting were members of the Zhao family.
The third level is the entire hall.
Kou Zhun led a group of civil servants on the left.
On the right is a middle-aged man in his forties.
His beard and hair were mixed with black and white, and he was wearing a suit of armor. He was sitting steadily.
Under him, other martial artists sat.
He should be Cao Wei.
After Kou Ji glanced at everyone, he cupped his hands and said, "Kou Ji has met all of you."
"No need to be polite..."
Kou Zhun and Cao Wei spoke together.
Kou Ji stood up.
"Kou Ji, do you know how many people have been executed for treason these days?"
Before Kou Ji could straighten up, someone asked a question.
The person who asked the question was actually a prince.
Kou Jigang was about to speak.
Zhao Heng suppressed the smile on his face and said lightly: "Now is not the time to talk... Zhou Huaizheng, show me your seat to Xiao Kou Aiqing."
"Thank you, officials."
Kou Ji cupped his hands and thanked him.
Zhou Huaizheng asked the young eunuch to hold a chair and table, and arranged Kou Ji to the last seat of the civil servants.
After Kou Ji sat down.
Then Zhao Heng said: "Kou Aiqing, the ceremony for canonizing the state master will begin soon, right?"
Kou Zhun cupped his hands and said, "If we go back to the official's house, we still have half an hour."
Zhao Heng nodded slowly and asked Cao Wei, "Cao Aiqing, how is the arrangement going?"
Cao Wei cupped his hands and said: "Go back to the official house, everything is ready."
"Then we, the monarchs and ministers, will wait quietly for half an hour..."
Zhao Heng spoke, and everyone in the hall waited quietly.
You can hear a needle drop.
The Yuqing Zhaoying Palace next to the Star Observation Tower is brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Taoist priests, wearing brand-new Taoist robes, frequently shuttled through the various halls in Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
From time to time, Taoist priests came from outside the palace and gathered among them.
Yuqing Zhaoying Palace is gradually filling up.
In order to make this canonization ceremony even more grand.
The Taoists spent a lot of money to bribe Kou Zhun and took over the arrangement of the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace from Kou Zhun.
After Kou Zhun received a huge bribe, he decisively removed the palace maids and eunuchs who had decorated the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, leaving the empty Yuqing Zhaoying Palace to the Taoists.
The Taoists really put in the effort to decorate the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
The entire palace, shrouded in mist and mist decorated by them, felt like a fairyland.
"Dong dong dong..."
When the first tom sounds.
Whether it was the Taoist priests in the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, the royal relatives on the Star Observation Tower, or the civil and military officials, they were all shocked.
The Taoists in Yuqing Zhaoying Palace quickly gathered together and gathered outside the main hall, waiting for Zhao Heng to arrive.
In the Star Observation Tower, Zhao Heng stood up slowly with Liu E's support.
His eyes passed over the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials, and he said calmly: "My dear friends, come with me to see a big show!"
