The carriage fell into silence for a while.
Lu Li didn't ask any more questions.
Of course, he wasn't desperate.
In fact, for a stranger whose soul has traveled through this world, after ten years of training, Lu Li has already developed a certain immunity to the unknowns of this world.
In other words, he doesn't have some 'old' views. After hearing about the existence of the upper world, I just felt that there were stronger people in the world, but I didn't have any other ideas.
However, his appropriate silence made Ge Xinyue sigh slightly, thinking that he could not withstand the blow, so he stopped speaking and gave him time to digest the information.
So, the carriage finally slowly drove into the palace gate.
Lu Li finally realized the 'heavy checks' that Ge Xinyue mentioned before.
A group of guards in black armor surrounded the carriage. Ge Xinyue showed the token of Prince Yan's Mansion with ease, and then went through a careful search by several guards. Even Lu Li answered a few questions. Only then did they Release.
Not long after, at the second palace gate, they were subject to more rigorous interrogation.
Even the carriage was carefully searched from top to bottom.
Under this increasingly strict search, they passed through six palace gates before truly entering the palace.
Even though Lu Li was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but complain: "Your Majesty is already at the peak of Mingyou. If there is someone in the world who wants to do something unethical to Your Majesty, this kind of investigation is just a fictitious thing, right?"
Ge Xinyue glanced at him with a smile and said: "This kind of interrogation is not designed for His Majesty."
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then he understood, "It seems that there are many female relatives in the palace."
"Your Majesty is not a womanizer, and there are only a few in the harem. The real targets of this kind of investigation are not only the safety of the prince and princess, but also the safety of the concubines. More importantly, he is afraid that someone will sneak into the palace and have access to the people in the palace."
Ge Xinyue explained: "There are secrets everywhere in the palace, and there are no secrets at all. If someone really sneaks in to spy on the news, just arresting a few palace maids or eunuchs may have unpredictable consequences for the overall situation. .”
"Sometimes, the safety of small people also needs the attention of big people." Ge Xinyue said this pointedly, and then said nothing more.
The carriage drove through the broad avenue and was finally stopped by a man in official uniform beside a side hall.
This man was one of the three people who were scolded by Mu Hongxiu when Lu Li first met her.
"Sir Zhao." Ge Xinyue got off the carriage and greeted the official.
But the other party waved his hands repeatedly, saying that you are welcome, then looked at Lu Li behind Ge Xinyue, and said with a smile: "Is this the brother Lu who paid for the disaster relief funds? You saved my life, please accept it." I pay homage!"
With that said, he was about to bow to Lu Li.
Lu Li stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Master Zhao? There is no need to be polite, it is all for the Holy Kingdom, there is no question of whether to save or not."
"Yes, yes, we are all working for the Holy Kingdom." Mr. Zhao also reacted, his smile became even wider, and he grabbed Lu Li's wrist and refused to let go: "But I, Zhao Jin, recognize your brother, and we will keep it privately from now on." You don’t need to call me Mr. Zhao when you meet me, just call me Brother Zhao!”
"Then you're welcome, brother Zhao?"
Lu Li patted the other person's hand, looked at each other, and immediately laughed tacitly.
Seeing the hypocritical performance of these two people, Ge Xinyue stood aside and finally interrupted: "Master Zhao, the time is almost up. Let's enter the palace."
Hearing this, Zhao Jin suddenly realized, "Manager Ge is right. Let's enter the palace quickly. His Highness King Yan has already arrived."
He quickly led the way.
He led the two of them towards the looming hall in the distance.
After a while, many officials in official uniforms appeared on both sides of the road. When meeting someone he knew, Zhao Jin nodded to them, but most of the time, it was those officials who took the initiative to stop and follow. Zhao Jin said hello.
Lu Li observed for a moment and roughly understood that Zhao Jin's official position and status were definitely not low.
When he reached the end of the road and passed the last gate, Lu Li saw the white jade steps in front of the palace, and there were already many people walking up.
When they arrived here, several young eunuchs had already come over to greet Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin nodded, then smiled at Ge Xinyue and Lu Li and said, "It's rare for your Majesty to take the initiative to hold a court meeting. I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement today."
After saying that, he said to Lu Li: "Brother Lu, don't blame me for being too talkative. A large part of His Majesty's reason today should be for you. If someone gives you trouble in court later, don't speak, no matter what you say. Let him have his way, but don't get into a fight with him in the palace because of your heat."
Hearing this, Lu Li smiled and said, "His Highness already told me when I came here. Apart from Your Majesty, no matter what you say to me, just smile."
"Your Highness is wise."
Zhao Jin raised his thumb and without further instructions, he winked at the young eunuchs.
Several young eunuchs immediately left with small steps.
This detail made Lu Li slightly puzzled and he looked at Ge Xinyue.
Ge Xinyue shook her head slightly, indicating that he should ignore it.
Lu Li didn't take it to heart.
Then, the three of them stepped onto the white jade steps and slowly walked towards the main hall.
By this time, no one was talking to each other anymore. These officials were sorting themselves out or thinking about what to say at the court meeting later.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"go in."
Arriving in front of the main hall, Ge Xinyue patted Lu Li on the shoulder.
Lu Li whispered: "Sister Ge isn't coming?"
"Although those of us who work in the palace have authority, we do not have official status. Your Majesty wants to see you, so that you can be allowed to attend the court meeting. Naturally, I am not qualified." Ge Xinyue explained and patted his shoulder again. , "Wait and be smarter."
Lu Li nodded, but he wasn't worried. Isn't it just a court meeting
In his previous life, he had seen countless emperors and met with many court meetings, and he could handle no matter how big the scene was.
But soon, he realized he was wrong.
And it was so wrong.
Because this is a real world after all.
Moreover, this is an imperial court composed of warriors!
After entering this huge palace that could not be described in words, Lu Li looked up and saw the chair that was dozens of feet high and seemed to be hanging in the sky. Lu Li once again understood deeply that nothing could be done in this place. Think in terms of past common sense.
Among all the officials in the field, which one has no cultivation level
I'm afraid that the legato book has to be delivered to the imperial chair in a high and high manner, right
With all kinds of strange thoughts in mind, Lu Li found the most secluded place to stand and began to secretly look at these officials.
After a rough visual inspection, there seemed to be hundreds of people present. Thinking of the saying of 'a hundred civil and military officials' in my previous life, I felt that it was extremely appropriate here.
Soon, he saw Mu Hongxiu at the forefront of the official team.
At this time, Mu Hongxiu was standing in the front row with a cold look on her face. Beside her, there was a man also wearing royal robes, chattering to her.
However, no matter what the other party said, Mu Hongxiu never looked at him seriously. Her indifferent expression seemed to treat the other party as a buzzing fly.
The man, who was obviously a prince, sighed one last time and said something unknown, which attracted Mu Hongxiu's murderous eyes.
He immediately closed his mouth and took a few steps back.
Another middle-aged man with a somewhat stocky figure came over happily.
He also wore a robe that represented the throne.
The six kings had already seen the third one. Lu Li looked around and found the figure of King Yun.
However, King Yun looked ugly at the moment and did not join in the fun with Mu Hongxiu. In other words, he did not dare to come near Mu Hongxiu.
Even though it was a court meeting, if Mu Hongxiu was really offended, she would dare to kill someone even in front of His Majesty. So King Yun simply stayed away and did not meet her.
"This old guy turns out to be scared sometimes." Lu Li complained disdainfully in his heart.
He still remembered that the resources that Mu Ningqiu left for him were probably misappropriated by this old guy, King Yun. The relationship between the two had already been formed at that time, and later he went to Prince Yan's Mansion and helped Mu Hongxiu do several important things, which indirectly ruined Prince Yun's plans.
It is expected that there will be no room for relaxation between the two.
Just when Lu Li was thinking wildly.
Next to the high throne, a kind-hearted old eunuch suddenly appeared.
Some noisy scenes immediately became quiet.
