Zhu Yi was sent to an inconspicuous courtyard, but she found that there were far more people walking around in this courtyard than ordinary houses, and all of them were strong men.
There are three main rooms in the north room of the inner courtyard, and Zhu Yi lives in the first room on the left.
Tao Shan knew that Zhu Yi was afraid of the cold, and although the conditions here were not as good as those in the palace, they ordered people to spread ocher Persian blankets on the floor, the red rose coals in the fireplace were burning extremely hotly, and the bed sheets were covered with marten fur. He also prepared a gold-plated hand stove with a magpie on a branch pattern for Zhu Yi, lest the crown prince's favorite person would suffer incompletely.
Zhu Yi took over the stove and thanked the ceramic fan. All the people she cared about had disappeared, and under the panic, she actually forgot whether it was cold or not.
Wen Yan came back later, she said to Zhu Yi: "Princess, Princess Rongyu is not in the Herui Palace. Our people will visit the palace again later."
"Okay." Zhu Yi said.
After a while, there was movement in the courtyard, as if someone had moved into the main room of the inner courtyard again.
Tao Fan went out of the room upon hearing the sound, and Zhu Yi also went out to check the situation.
The snow had gradually stopped, and Zhu Yi saw Tao Fan running towards a woman in a royal blue dress, the joy was beyond words, and the two were talking about something.
And standing beside the woman in blue was Zhu Ning.
Zhu Yi instantly knew the identity of the woman in blue—Gu Nanci.
Out of a delicate state of mind, Zhu Yi looked at the other party very seriously. This Gu Nanci was born with a beautiful face, and the dress on her body was made of a wide robe and wide sleeves, which was slender and graceful, with a unique charm.
Gu Nanci noticed that someone was watching, and when she turned her head, she saw a young girl standing on the west porch, tightly wrapped in a cloak with carmine red silk and white fox fur collar, looking curiously at this side.
The maid beside Gu Nanci was startled when she saw Zhu Yi for the first time.
That snow-white fox-collared face is extremely amazing, and her pair of black eyes are even more lively. Standing in the snow all over the sky, she is so beautiful that people can't believe it, making people think they just saw the snow in the snow. The essence of the charm will disappear out of thin air in the next moment.
The girls began to speculate on Zhu Yi's identity. Obviously, she couldn't be a maidservant because of her clothes. Who could it be
And the first moment Gu Nanci saw Zhu Yi, inexplicably remembered Rong Ting's words on the day she arrived in Beijing, saying that Xie Ying's life was more nourishing than ever. After that sentence, Xie Ying occasionally showed a trace of absent-mindedness unintentionally. It seems that most of them were in a hurry to see this woman.
Everyone saw the gentle face behind Zhu Yi again.
Everyone is from the women's battalion. Although a small number of them were sent by Xie Ying to Gu Nanci to study medicine, everyone recognizes her gentle face and outstanding martial arts. Seeing her follow behind this girl every step of the way, I can't help but feel sorry for the girl. curious about his identity.
Zhu Yi did not greet Zhu Ning immediately, but looked at Gu Nanci from a distance.
Wen Yan thought for a while, and said to Zhu Yi, "Princess, that is Nanci girl."
Zhu Yi smiled friendly at the other party. Gu Nanci had no expression, but looked very cold. Zhu Yi was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't turn around and leave. Instead, he called Zhu Ning who hadn't noticed yet: "A Ning!"
Zhu Ning turned her head and saw Zhu Yi, she immediately smiled and ran towards her, Zhu Yi also greeted Zhu Ning, Zhu Yi asked: "A Ning, why are you here?"
Tao Fan had already asked Gu Nanci, so he answered on his behalf: "Senior sister Nanci has given acupuncture to Princess Yong'an for two days, and it cannot be interrupted."
Zhu Yi nodded: "I see."
Because Tao Fan didn't know Xie Ying's plan, he didn't dare to make his own claim to reveal the relationship between Xie Ying and Zhu Yi.
Zhu Ning took Zhu Yi's hand and introduced to Gu Nanci: "Nanci, girl, she is me, my sister."
The faces of all the girls changed slightly, it turned out that this was also a princess. But it's not surprising when you think about it. With the status of the son of the world, the girls he knows are either princesses or noble girls.
Gu Nanci didn't salute Zhu Yi, but just nodded, then turned and left.
There are exactly three main rooms, and the three girls live in one of them.
Zhu Ning originally wanted to share a room with Zhu Yi, but her disease requires six injections a day, that is, every two hours. room.
Tao Shan came to Zhu Yi's side and said, "Princess, although Elder Sister was also taken here, but..."
Zhu Yi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Tao Shan, I didn't think much about it."
Zhu Yi knew that regardless of the relationship between Xie Ying and Gu Nanci when they were young, since Gu Nanci was Gu Taiyan's only daughter, it was impossible for Xie Ying to ignore this point, and more importantly, he was the only one. Please go to Beijing. If something happens to Gu Nanci, how can Xie Ying go back to Weizhou to see his teacher.
After a while, Tao Fan was called to Gu Nanci's room.
Gu Nanci didn't hide her curiosity, and asked directly: "What's the name of that princess just now?"
Tao Fan replied, "That's Princess Xizhen, whose name is Zhu Yi."
"What's the relationship between her and Xie Ying?"
Tao Fan hesitated.
Gu Nanci said indifferently: "Xie Ying is pursuing her?" She grew up with Xie Ying, how could she not understand each other, that man's heart is full of things, but he has never pretended to be a girl.
In fact, Tao Shan is not sure whether she, the senior sister, has feelings for the son. After all, Gu Nanci is too cold, and she will say a few more words to the son than to others, and she may not be angry. But if it is ruthless, it seems that such a question should not be asked.
Knowing that Gu Nanci and Yao Ning are not the same kind of people, Tao Fan still decided to make Xie Ying's heart clear: "My son adores Princess Xizhen and intends to marry her as his concubine."
Gu Nanci didn't speak any more, but let Tao Fan go out.
Zhu Yi walked back and forth in the room, waiting impatiently. When Shen Xingliu came over, she immediately asked, "Master Shen, how is the situation in the palace? Have you found Princess Rongyu?"
"Princess, the capital city and the palace are very chaotic. Princess Rongyu has not been found yet, but I heard that someone saw the crown prince in the palace."
Zhu Yi was taken aback: "Prince? But didn't he go to funeral for the queen with Xie Ying and the others? Didn't it mean that he was also imprisoned in the underground palace, how could he escape alone? Or... the palace change was planned by him?"
Shen Xingliu was also puzzled by this and was unable to answer for a while.
Zhu Yi then murmured: "There should be another secret way in the underground palace to escape from birth. But if even the prince knows where the secret way is, wouldn't the emperor not know? Why do you only see the prince but not the emperor?"
Shen Xingliu said: "If the change of the imperial mausoleum was planned by the crown prince, then he must have been prepared."
"That's right." Zhu Yi remembered what he saw in "Zhao Ling Zhi": "There are mercury rivers, machine crossbow walls, stone formations and traps in the underground palace to protect the emperor's legal body from being destroyed. Xie Yingruo also If you want to come out of the secret passage, let alone whether you can find the entrance, just the mechanism inside..."
Zhu Yi thought of Xie Shao again for a moment, he saved her life after all.
Shen Xingliu could only comfort Zhu Yi: "Princess, my son is extremely skilled in martial arts, and is also proficient in the art of shielding armor. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, my son will definitely be able to escape."
Zhu Yi nodded and said, "Lord Shen, what about the rest of the civil and military officials who have not been imprisoned? Are they staying outside Qianling, or have they returned to Beijing?"
She said bluntly: "I want to know if Han Yunrong and Rong Ting are back?"
Shen Xingliu said: "Young Master Rong is still in Qianling, Mr. Han doesn't know about it, so this subordinate will send someone to investigate for the princess."
Hearing that Rong Ting was still in the imperial mausoleum, Zhu Yi was a little relieved, Rong Ting was there, and if Xie Ying escaped, Rong Ting would definitely respond.
Zhu Yi said again: "I heard that Rong Xiao escorted Ah Ning over? I want to go ahead and see him."
Shen Xingliu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Okay. Princess, please follow me." He knew that his master didn't want the princess to get close to Rong Xiao.
The two went to the room arranged for Rong Xiao in the front yard, but they didn't see anyone. No one knew where Rong Xiao went. Shen Xingliu frowned. Zhu Yi had to turn back again.
Before returning to her room, Zhu Ning sent someone to invite Zhu Yi over.
It was Gu Nanci who was going to inject Zhu Ning.
Zhu Yi knew that Zhu Ning was afraid, and Rong Ting was probably guarding her when she gave the needle before, so Zhu Yi sat on the side of the couch and interlocked her fingers: "Don't be afraid, Ah Ning, I'm here."
Zhu Yi's voice was soft, but there was a very soothing force, Gu Nanci glanced at her.
"Ah Ning is afraid, just close your eyes." Zhu Yi said again. Zhu Ning nodded and closed her eyes as expected.
Rong Xiao, who Zhu Yi didn't find, had entered the palace at this time.
Although he was protecting his sister-in-law for his elder brother, his own heart was always on Zhu Yi.
Hearing that the imperial mausoleum was sealed off and the atmosphere in Beijing was so wrong, how could Rong Xiao rest assured that he would leave Zhu Yi in the palace. After he entered the palace, he knocked out a little eunuch, put on his clothes and went directly to Liji palace.
The result is that no one can be found.
The crown prince had already set up a net in the Liji Palace, and after hearing the report from the people below that Rong Xiao was visiting the Liji Palace, he immediately ordered: "Follow Rong Xiao closely. If Zhu Ning is not in the Princess Mansion, Rong Xiao must have hidden her. Capture Zhu Ning, Rong Ting's troops in Beiliaoguan will be used by me."
The prince retreated to the back hall, and a group of armored guards were holding long guns, surrounding a few women with disheveled temple hair.
The prince approached one of them, knelt down, grabbed the other person's hair to force him to look up, and asked, "Where's Zhu Yi?"
Concubine Tong tremblingly said: "I don't know, I really don't know. If I had known His Highness wanted Yi Yi, I would have given her to His Highness."
The prince snorted coldly, and abandoned Concubine Tong. His eyes turned and fell on Zhen Xi.
The prince walked up to Zhen Xi, stepped on her skirt, and said, "Take them all down." Naturally, they did not include Zhen Xi who was restrained by the prince.
In an instant, there were only two people in the hall. The prince reached out and touched Zhen Xi's delicate chin, then moved his hand down, held one of the women's soft ones, and rubbed them vigorously.
Zhen Xi wailed, gasping for breath, frowning, her body shaking like chaff, but she didn't dare to move at all.
The prince smiled: "Little bitch, I would like to know, how did you fascinate my father?"
Zhen Xi's clothes were ripped open, revealing a large piece of white shoulders and chest. Zhen Xi thought that she could not escape the prince's invasion, she burst into tears, closed her eyes, but was slapped to the ground by the man: "Vulgar, vulgar powder!" .”
The prince's face was gloomy: "It's because of you that my mother has been angry with her like never before in her entire life."
Zhan Shi Li Guanghan entered the palace at this time, and pretended not to see Zhen Xi when he saw Zhen Xi, and said, "Your Highness, the imperial edict of His Majesty's enthronement and the obituary of the emperor's death have been prepared, but I have searched all over the imperial study room, but I can't find the jade seal either." .”
The prince's face changed: "How is it possible. Yuxi has always been locked in the imperial study."
Another palace official came in to report: "Your Highness, the prince and princess have arrived."
This prince is naturally not someone else, but King Yongnan.
The prince said: "Please."
