Yuehua is like a practice, overlooking the earth. In this silent night, a sparse human voice faintly sounded in a corner of Yuntai Hall.
"What? People are lost?"
"Reply to the lady, there are too many people on the street, those two people turned the corner and disappeared at once..." The black clothed man stammered, his forehead was sweaty, and it was trembling lightly.
"Trash! The two of you can't keep an eye on them, what does this palace want you to do?" The queen was furious, brushing her broad sleeves over the bone china tea set, only to see the golden phoenix wings embroidered on it unfold, followed by ear-piercing cracks. With a sound, all the servants around, whether they were related to this matter or not, all knelt down, wishing to bury their bodies in the ground.
The palace maid Jinxiu has been listening silently by the side, but now she raised her head and said softly: "My lady, please calm down, if you can find a way to prove that the two are Prince Lan and Princess Lan, it's not without gain."
Hearing this, the queen slowly narrowed her eyes, then turned to the man in black and asked, "Have you ever seen the face of one of them?"
"No." The black-clothed man's voice became more and more hollow, almost as low as the dust. "Tonight, there are ghost festival parades in Fengfeng. Everyone wears masks, but just looking at their bodies, they look like..."
"Absurd! There are too many people with similar physiques in this world. How does Ben Gong know that you are not with the wrong person? If the trouble breaks out and Chu Jinglan beats him down, the face of Ben Gong and the emperor will not be worth it!" The queen scolded repeatedly, and her sharp fingertips almost poked the man in black in the face, but in the interval of a few seconds, she suddenly thought of something, and her movements followed, "Bengong, let me ask you, who are you? When did you lose it?"
"It's the hour of the hour."
Because the bell in the city was tolled every time of the hour, the man in black remembered very clearly that they entered the alley shortly after the bell rang, and only then did they realize that the two had disappeared.
The queen glanced at it even more, as if she was calculating something, and after a while, her eyes suddenly brightened.
"If those two are really Chu Jinglan and Ye Huaiyang, their feet are not as good as yours, and they definitely haven't returned to Yulan Palace at this moment, you immediately go to Chunyuan to find Guozhang, and ask him to lie about a thief in the courtyard and call Zhang Chi, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, went to search the palace, and sent people to guard the foot of the mountain. Once they found their whereabouts, they would immediately bring people to the Yuntai Hall for this palace!"
"Yes, your subordinates obey!"
The man in black hurried out, and disappeared in a flash. The hall fell into silence at the same time. Jinxiu lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then spoke softly again.
"Niangniang, do you need to use the emperor's side..."
It's good not to mention it, but the Queen's face sank when she mentioned it, and she interrupted her words coldly: "We'll talk about it when there is definite evidence, so that I won't blame Ben Gong for disturbing his **!"
There is a saying that it can stop the delicate flowers everywhere in the palace, and the wild grass outside the palace. Chu Sanghuai has not come to Yuntai Hall for several days. The concubine Yunhai is making waves and playing in the fairy pavilion. I don't know how happy it is. Even if the queen can't bear it anymore, she will not disturb his good things at this time. Not to mention the reputation of being jealous, I am afraid that it will attract the wrath of thunder. .
Jinxiu also understood how powerful it was, so she persuaded gently, "Then why don't you go back to the couch and rest for a while, they probably have to search for a while, and when there is progress, the servants will wake you up."
The queen was pregnant, and at this point, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she let her go into the inner room to rest.
The night was getting darker, and the mountain was covered in heavy fog. Ten steps away was chaotic, and the direction was unclear. However, at this moment, the sound of the armor rubbing became louder.
Zhang Chi, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, had always been on good terms with the Wang family, so as soon as Wang Jian spoke, he immediately took someone to the Yulan Palace, which was terrifyingly fast, and arrived in just a quarter of an hour. After standing in front of the palace, he let the soldiers ring the door.
"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom-"
Speaking of which, today is still the Ghost Festival, and it's midnight again. The muffled voice is abrupt and terrifying. I don't know if the servants watching the night were frightened. There was no movement for a long time. After knocking twice, he raised his voice: "The forbidden army is searching, open the door!"
After a long time, a voice came from inside, a weak mosquito and gnat, extremely timid: "Who is it outside? How dare you make a noise in the middle of the night and disturb the dreams of the prince and princess?"
It was originally a question of guilt, but it was useless because of his weak momentum. After listening to Zhang Chi, he showed a disdainful smile and continued to shout in a rough voice: "The Spring Courtyard was stolen, someone saw the thief coming here, For the sake of safety, please cooperate with Wang Ye and Princess!"
There was another silence inside, and I listened carefully. It seemed that a few guards with good martial arts came over, and the person who responded immediately became a man.
"Dare to ask that Your Excellency is here to search under an order?"
When Zhang Chi choked, he immediately realized that this person was not easy to deal with, so he hummed heavily: "Our Imperial Army is responsible for the defense inside and outside the palace, and now a thief should be caught and disposed of. You have to ask the emperor for instructions on trivial matters, isn’t it intentional to disturb the emperor?”
"Then please forgive me for not being able to open the door. Yulan Hall is the residence of the prince, and it has nine-rank regulations. Those who do not hold the emperor's holy edict are not allowed to trespass."
"You—" Zhang Chi didn't expect that he would move out of the Prince's Regulations, and his face turned ashen.
The person who spoke was Lu Heng. He had been serving as the imperial physician in the palace for a long time. These complicated and complicated palace rules had long been familiar to him, so he could handle them without any difficulty. It gives people a sense of calm and certainty that is hard to refute.
But the more he was like this, the more suspicious Zhang Chi felt. Seeing that he had been grinding here for a while, it would be inappropriate to delay it any longer. He had to get in as soon as possible. Thinking of this, he winked at the soldiers beside him and said Lu Heng said: "Since the lord does not cooperate, then the commander had to order someone to break into the door and ask the lord to apologize after the thief is found!"
After speaking, seven or eight soldiers carried the wood and forcibly slammed into the gate. The force of the blow was not small, and the latch immediately made a slight cracking sound. Lu Heng's face changed slightly, and he immediately signaled the Shadow Guard to come and hold the gate. He himself stepped back a few steps and looked into the yard, as if anxiously looking for something.
"Give me harder!" Zhang Chi ordered loudly, as if determined to win.
It was another savage impact, and an obvious sawtooth crack appeared on the crossbar, and the Shadow Guards were almost unable to resist it.
Damn it!
Lu Heng cursed inwardly. He didn't care about the situation behind him. He raised his feet and rushed to the bedroom. Who knew that he ran into someone as soon as he reached the corner. He pulled it away and saw that it was a crescent moon.
"Doctor Lu, it's all done!"
Although these words were a bit mindless, Lu Heng's face shone brightly, like the cold front on the edge of the thin moon, deep and sharp, and then he walked back without hesitation, as if walking The moment he stopped in front of the door, he heard a click, the latch was broken in two, and the Imperial Army rushed in.
"Offended." Zhang Chi nodded at him, and immediately shouted, "Search for me!"
Lu Heng stood there and looked at him, his eyes dark and unclear.
Accompanied by the sound of metals colliding, more than a dozen banned soldiers rushed into the inner courtyard in an instant. They seemed to be looking for thieves, but moved towards the bedroom without a trace. At this moment, the door in the center suddenly opened, and a The tall figure stood under the eaves where the light and shadow staggered, exuding a chill.
"Presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to break into this king's bedroom!"
Zhang Chi, who was walking behind, suddenly changed his face when he heard the voice. He walked into the yard in three or two steps, and when he saw Chu Jinglan's cold and jade-like face, he immediately broke out in cold sweat.
I didn't expect Lan Wangzhen to be here...
Not allowing him to think about it, Chu Jinglan had already walked towards this side, as if a sharp blade had come out of its sheath, a cold light loomed over him, and an invisible pressure shrouded his head, suffocating every inch.
"This king is asking you, what is the crime of trespassing in the Yulan Palace?"
Zhang Chi trembled and replied involuntarily: "There are thieves in the palace, Wei Chen is here..."
"You caught a thief and caught this king's bedroom?" Chu Jinglan's black eyes narrowed slightly, and his sullen expression became even more evident. Zhang Chi only felt as if his bones were scraped by an ice blade, and there was a slight fear in the cold. He opened his mouth to explain, a The delicate female voice suddenly inserted into the condensed atmosphere.
"Hmph, in a broken place, anyone's dog can run in."
Zhang Chi turned his head to look, Ye Huaiyang was standing by the door on the left wearing clothes, her charming face was a little lazy, as if she had just been woken up, but the words she said were full of irony, not only Against him, more against Chu Jinglan.
"Can you say that again!"
Chu Jinglan obviously understood, she turned her head and attacked Ye Huaiyang. Who knew that she didn't feel the slightest bit of fear, she sneered at him and turned around and entered the room. Zhang Chi could see clearly.
It was said outside that the two of them had a bad relationship. Today, he saw it. Not only did they sleep in separate rooms, but they didn't agree with each other in words. That young lady of the Ye family just relied on her family status to ride wildly on the head of King Lan, without any scruples, seriously. Teach him to be amazed.
That's all, these are not important. Lord Wang asked him to come and see if the couple were both in Yulan Palace. He had already obtained the answer, and he had to find a way to get out as soon as possible. It would be bad if the trouble went to the emperor. He quickly knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty to Chu Jinglan: "My lord, this minister is reckless and disturbed your rest, please forgive me."
Chu Jinglan suddenly raised his sleeves and said, "You barged in so disrespectfully that you want to cover it up with a single interruption?"
Zhang Chi was drenched in cold sweat. He regretted that he had entered too hastily. He just wanted to capture them and send them to Wang Jian, but he didn't expect that Chu Jinglan was really in the hall.
"Your Highness, Wei Chen..."
"Take your people to this king and get out." Chu Jinglan stared at him coldly, as if there were sharp thorns in his sight, which made him itchy, "Tomorrow morning, this king will go to the emperor's place again. Do the math with you!"
"...Yes, Wei Chen retire." Zhang Chi gritted his teeth and stepped back, the dark armor smeared in the darkness with the afterglow, and immediately disappeared into the night.
The Imperial Army came and went in a hurry, and they withdrew from the Yulan Hall like a low tide. After hearing the heavy closing of the courtyard gate, Chu Jinglan's dark eyes flashed, and he turned around and stepped into the room on the left. The delicate body threw into his arms, and he gently stroked the cold back, comforting her softly.
"It's alright, don't be afraid."
Ye Huaiyang shook his head gently and whispered, "I'm not afraid that Chu Sanghuai will kill me, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to stay by your side."
"Don't think nonsense." Chu Jinglan kissed the top of her hair and reassured her gently, "With Weiwei here, he can't touch you."
