The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown

Zhu Yi was sent to an inconspicuous two-entry yard, but she found that there were far more people walking in this outer yard than ordinary houses, and all of them were strong men.

There were three main rooms in the north house of the inner courtyard, and Zhu Yi moved into the first one on the left.

The ceramic fan knew that Zhu Yi was afraid of the cold. Although the conditions here were not as good as those in the palace, he also ordered people to spread ochre Persian blankets on the ground. Mat, and prepared a gilt hand furnace with magpie climbing branches for Zhu Yi, lest the apex of the world suffer half-heartedly.

Zhu Yi took over the stove and thanked Tao Fan. All the people she missed were heard from her. Under anxiety, 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 Herui Palace. Later, our people will visit the palace again."

"Good." Zhu Yi said.

After a short while, there was movement in the courtyard, and it seemed that someone was staying in the main room of the inner courtyard.

Tao Fan heard the sound and went out of the room, and Zhu Yi followed out to see the situation.

The snow gradually stopped, and Zhu Yi saw Tao Fan running towards a woman in a navy blue dress. The joy was overwhelmingly expressive, and the two were talking.

And beside the woman in blue, Zhu Ning was standing beside her.

Zhu Yi instantly knew the identity of the woman in blue-Gu Nanci.

Out of a subtle mentality, Zhu Yi looked at the other party more seriously. This Gu Nanci was born with a beautiful face, and the dress on his body was made of wide robe and wide sleeves, slender and graceful, with a unique charm.

Gu Nanci noticed that someone was watching, and when he turned his head, he saw a young girl standing under the west porch, tightly wrapped in a cloak with a rouge red silk face and white fox fur collar, looking curiously here.

The waitress next to Gu Nanci was startled when she saw Zhu Yi for the first time.

The snow-white fox's frowning face was amazing, and her dark eyes were even more clever and looking forward. She stood in the snow all over the sky, so beautiful that people could not believe it, and people only thought they saw the snow. The essence of charm will disappear out of thin air in the next moment.

The women began to guess Zhu Yi's identity. This wearing temperament obviously couldn't be a handmaid, who would it be?

And the first moment when Gu Nanci saw Zhu Yi, she inexplicably remembered what Rong Ting had said on the day she arrived in Beijing, saying that Xie Ying had a better life than ever. After that sentence, Xie Ying occasionally showed a trace of absent-mindedness inadvertently. It seems that most of them were anxious to see this woman.

Everyone saw the gentle face behind Zhu Yi again.

Everyone was born in a female camp. Although a small number of them were sent to Gu Nanci to study medicine by Xie Ying, everyone recognized her as a top-notch martial artist. Seeing that she was following behind this girl every step of the way, her heart was unavoidable. 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 the Nanci girl."

Zhu Yi smiled friendly at the other party. Gu Nanci had no expression and looked very cold. Zhu Yi felt a little embarrassed, but did not turn to leave. Instead, he called Zhu Ning, who hadn't noticed here: "A Ning!"

Zhu Ning turned to see Zhu Yi, immediately showed a smile, and ran to her, Zhu Yi also greeted Zhu Ning, Zhu Yi asked: "A Ning, why are you here?"

Tao Fan has already asked Gu Nanci, and then replied on her behalf: "Senior sister Nanci has given the needles to Princess Yong'an for two days and cannot be interrupted."

Zhu Yi nodded: "So that's it."

Tao Shan didn't know Xie Ying's plan, so he didn't dare 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 the girls changed slightly, it turns out that this is also a princess. But it’s not surprising to think about it. With the status of Shi Ziye, the girl she knew was originally a princess or a noble lady.

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 room each.

Zhu Ning wanted to be in the same room with Zhu Yi, but she needed to have six injections a day for her illness, that is, she had to give injections every two hours. It was okay during the day, but it would disturb Zhu Yi’s rest at night, so Zhu Ning asked for it herself. Out of the room.

Tao Fan came to Zhu Yi and said: "Princess, although the master sister was also received here, but..."

Zhu Yi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Tao Fan, I didn't think much about it."

Zhu Yi knows that regardless of the relationship between Xie Ying and Gu Nanci since they were young, it is pointed out that Gu Nanci is Gu Taiyan’s only daughter. Xie Ying can’t ignore this, and more importantly, it’s him. Please go to Beijing. If something goes wrong with 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 did not conceal his curiosity, and asked directly: "What is the name of the princess just now?"

Tao Fan replied: "That is Princess Xizhen, whose name is Zhu Yi."

"What is her relationship with 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? The man's heart contained a lot of things, but he had never pretended to be a girl.

In fact, the Tao Fan was not sure whether her master sister was merciless to Shi Zi. After all, Gu Nanci was too cold, and said a few more words to Shi Zi than to others, and she was not so angry. But if it is ruthless, it seems that you shouldn't ask such a question.

With Yao Ning’s lessons learned, although knowing that Gu Nanci and Yao Ning are by no means similar people, Tao Fan decided to clarify Xie Ying’s heart: "The son admires Princess Xizhen and intends to marry the princess as his concubine."

Gu Nanci didn't speak any more, only let the ceramic fan go out.

Zhu Yi walked around in the room, waiting impatiently, when Shen Xingliu came over, she immediately asked: "Master Shen, what's the situation in the palace? Did you find Princess Rongyu?"

"Princess, now the capital and the palace are in chaos, and Princess Rongyu has not been found. However, I heard that someone saw the prince in the palace."

Zhu Yi was taken aback for a moment: "Prince? But didn't he and Xie Ying mourn the queen together? Didn't he mean that he was also locked up in the underground palace, so how could he escape by himself? Or that... the palace change was planned by him? "

Shen Xingliu was also puzzled by this, unable to answer for a while.

Zhu Yi then murmured: "There should be another secret path in the underground palace that can escape from birth. But if even the prince knows where the secret path is, wouldn't the emperor know it? Why do you see the prince but not the emperor?"

Shen Xingliu said: "If the change of the tomb was planned by the prince, then he must have been prepared."

"Yes." Zhu Yi remembered what he had seen in "Zhaoling Zhi": "There are Mercury Rivers, crossbow walls, stone formations and traps in the underground palace to protect the emperor's legal body from being destroyed. Xie Yingruo is also the case. If you want to get out of the secret path, let's not say whether you can find the entrance, just the mechanism inside..."

Zhu Yi thought of Xie Shao for a moment, after all, he had saved her life.

Shen Xingliu can only comfort Zhu Yi: "The princess, the elder son is excellent in martial arts, and is good at the magic of the strange door.

Zhu Yi nodded and said, "Master Shen, what about the remaining civil and military officials who have not been imprisoned? Are they staying outside Qianling, or have they returned to Beijing?"

She bluntly said: "I want to know if Han Yunrong and Rong Ting are back?"

Shen Xingliu said: "Master Rong is still in Qianling, Master Han doesn't know it, so he will send someone to investigate the princess."

Hearing that Rong Ting is still in the imperial tomb, Zhu Yi feels a little relieved. Rong Ting is over there. If Xie Ying escapes, Rong Ting will definitely take it.

Zhu Yi said again: "I heard that Rong Xiao escorted A Ning? I want to go and see him in front."

Shen Xingliu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay. Princess, please come with me." He knew that his master didn't want the princess and Rong Xiao to get close.

The two arrived at the room arranged for Rong Xiao in the front yard, but they didn't see anyone. No one knows where Rong Xiao has gone. Shen Xingliu frowned. Zhu Yi had to look back again.

Before returning to the room, Zhu Ning sent someone to invite Zhu Yi over.

It was Gu Nanci who was about to administer the needle to Zhu Ning.

Zhu Yi knew that Zhu Ning was scared. Rong Ting was probably guarding her when the needle was administered before. Zhu Yi sat on the couch and clasped her fingers: "Don't be afraid, A Ning, I am here."

Zhu Yi's voice is soft, but there is a very soothing power, Gu Nanci glanced at her.

"A Ning is afraid, so close your eyes." Zhu Yi said again. Zhu Ning nodded, and she closed her eyes as expected.

Rong Xiao, whom Zhu Yi did not find, had already entered the palace at this time.

Although he is protecting his sister-in-law for his elder brother, his heart is always attached to Zhu Yi.

I heard that the imperial tomb was sealed, and the atmosphere in Beijing was so wrong. How could Rong Xiao feel relieved that Zhu Yi was in the palace. After he entered the palace, he knocked out a little eunuch, put on his clothes, and went straight to Fu Ji Palace.

The result is naturally no one can be found.

The crown prince had already set up a net in the palace of Fu Ji. He heard the report from the people below that Rong Xiao went to the palace of Fu Ji, and immediately ordered: "Follow Rong Xiao closely. Zhu Ning is not in the princess mansion. It must have been hidden by Rong Xiao. Zhu was caught. Ning, Rong Ting's troops at Beiliao Pass will be used by me."

The prince retired to the apse, and a group of armored guards armed with spears, surrounded several messy and embarrassed women on the temples.

The prince approached one of them, squatted down, grabbed the other's hair and forced the other to raise his head. He asked, "Where is Zhu Yi?"

Concubine Tong tremblingly said: "I don't know, I really don't know. If I had known that His Highness wanted Yi Yi, I would have given her to His Highness."

The prince snorted coldly and abandoned Concubine Tong. Turning his eyes, he fell on Zhen Xi.

The prince walked in front of Zhen Xi, stepped on the hem of the other party's skirt with his big foot, and said, "Bring them all down." Naturally, these women did not include Zhen Xi who was restrained by the prince.

There were only two people in the temple. The prince stretched out his hand to touch Zhen Xi's delicate chin, moved his hand down, held one of the women softly, and rubbed it vigorously.

Zhen Xi wailed, panting heavily, frowning, her body trembling like chaff, but she didn't dare to move at all.

The prince smiled: "Little bitch, I want to know, how do you get my father so fascinated?"

Zhen Xi's clothes were torn apart, revealing a large white shoulder and chest. Zhen Xi thought that she could not escape the invasion of the prince. She burst into tears, closed her eyes, but was slapped to the ground by the man: ."

The prince's face was gloomy: "My mother's queen is angry because of you, which she has never suffered in her entire life."

Zhan Shi Li Guanghan entered the hall at this time, and when he saw Zhen Xi, he pretended not to see him, saying: "His Royal Highness, the edict of his enthronement and the obituary of the emperor's death have been prepared, but after searching the Imperial Study Room, I couldn't find Yuxi. ."

The prince's face changed: "How is it possible. Yuxi has always been locked in the Imperial Study Room."

Another palace person came in to report: "His Royal Highness, the prince and princess are here."

This prince is naturally not someone else, but the king of Yongnan.

The prince said: "Please."
