Chitose words

The guards who were ordered to guard outside the Zhaohua Palace were looking at the noble woman in front of them with a troubled expression, but her appearance was haggard and anxious.

"Shu Fei, it's not that you are humble and disrespectful of the instructions. In fact, Your Majesty has already made a decree.

Nowadays, no one is allowed in or out of Zhaohua Hall except His Majesty. You are in such a humble position that you dare not let me in. "

There should not be any foreign men in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, but Zhaohua Palace is located near the East Palace and is very close to the East Wai Palace headed by the East Palace. Therefore, there are suddenly some guards here, which doesn't seem strange at all.

It's just that maybe even these imperial guards themselves don't know why they were suddenly transferred by the emperor to guard the city that never sleeps.

They only knew that His Majesty had an order to stay outside the Zhaohua Palace and not allow anyone to enter or exit.

That’s right, no one is allowed “in or out.”

The imperial guards were actually very confused.

His Majesty issued an order not to allow others to enter Zhaohua Hall. This is easy to understand, but... not allowed to leave?
Zhaohua Hall has been deserted for a long time and no one lives in it. Who will come out of it? Isn't that haunted?
But fortunately, when you work in the palace, you don't need to know the reason, and you shouldn't investigate the reason for the edict.

They just need to do what they are told. Knowing too much is of no benefit to others or themselves.

Therefore, although the imperial guards themselves were confused by the lawsuit, they would not risk their lives to delve deeply into the true dragon emperor's intentions.

Concubine Shu Wan Luoer forced herself to calm down and said calmly: "Be brave, even if you are the palace, can't you go in?"

The guard was really in a bit of trouble.

Concubine Shu's great favor was known to everyone both inside and outside the palace.

Even the Empress Bai, the empress of the middle palace, was polite and did not face his sharp edge.

Didn't you see it?

Empress Jiang, who was born in one of the four major noble families in the Southern Dynasties, offended Concubine Shu with some inexplicable words, so she had to punish her everywhere.

Unexpectedly, even Concubine Jiang, who was born into a prominent family and whose biological brother was the wife of the current county mistress, dared not speak out in anger.

I heard that in order to avoid Concubine Shu's sharp attack, Concubine Jiang is almost reluctant to leave her own Qingliang Hall in the West Palace.

However, His Majesty let it go without saying a single word of rebuke. From this point of view, the great favor of the Concubine Shu is evident.

Not only that, even the civil servants in the previous dynasty, headed by Jiang Concubine's mother clan, the Jiang family of Yingzhou, actually kept silent and did nothing about this matter, which shows that the power of Concubine Shu is extraordinary.

However, Concubine Shu was only one of the four concubines after all, and all her power came from the imperial power and the emperor's preference.

——And the Emperor Jing of the Southern Dynasty was the one who truly gave her such power!

If it was just a side matter, if the emperor's beloved concubine spoke, they would naturally not dare to disobey.

But now it is the Emperor's decree that no one except His Majesty the Emperor can enter the Zhaohua Palace, so this is a golden saying!

Even if the person standing in front of them is the concubine Shu who is the most favored harem queen, these imperial guards would not dare to let go.

"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass us. Once His Majesty's decree is issued, even if you give a humble official a hundred courages, you won't dare to disobey it.

Even if a firefly flies into Zhaohua Palace, His Majesty will only ask us. If you are not disrespecting your empress, you would not dare to disobey the emperor. "

Although Concubine Wan Shu looked slightly haggard, her expression looked particularly calm.

She gently raised her small and delicate chin and said calmly:

"Zhaohua Palace is the former residence of His Royal Highness Chitose. It has always been cleaned by me personally and never left to the hands of others.

Who gave you the courage to prevent me from entering? "

Concubine Wan Shu used to be an old member of the East Palace, and this was known to everyone in the city that never sleeps.

But rumors say that the young lady who served beside the Crown Prince of the East Palace back then was a girl with a friendly smile who always smiled when she met everyone.

Times have changed, and when the current concubine Shu, who is not alluring but as cold as ice, stares at others with a serious expression, she can actually bring a sense of oppression to others for no reason.

But no matter how worried he was, the guard didn't dare to let him go.

"My Majesty, please forgive me. I have no choice but to humble myself in my position."

"How presumptuous! I am going in today, and I want to see who dares to stop me!"

After Wan Luoer finished speaking, she lifted up her skirt and stepped up to the steps at the main entrance of Zhaohua Hall!
Several imperial guards were stunned and wanted to stop him but did not dare to offend.

They didn't dare to stretch out their hands to pull or touch Concubine Shu at all, so they had to kneel side by side on the steps with frightened expressions on their faces, trying to block Concubine Shu's way with their bodies. And Concubine Shu seemed determined to go in. She didn't care and was ready to hit the "human wall"!
——Looking at this posture, she made up her mind to see if the guards could hide away, and if they dared to have physical contact with the emperor's woman!
At the critical moment, a slender man's voice said loudly:
"How outrageous! Why don't you retreat quickly! His Majesty ordered you to guard the Zhaohua Palace, but you dare to offend Concubine Shu. What a coward!"

Everyone looked up when they heard the sound, and saw that it was Yuan Ai, the eunuch with the seal beside Emperor Jing, the chief eunuch of the Nightless City, who had arrived!
When the guards saw him coming, their faces suddenly lit up with joy!
Even if you are scolded at this time, that is a good thing!
The presence of Director Yuan is enough to prove for them that they are worthy of the emperor's orders.

The leading imperial guard quickly stood up, cupped his fists and saluted:

"Lord Zhangyin, Concubine Shu is determined to enter the Zhaohua Palace today, but as someone with a humble rank and a mandate from the emperor, they really dare not back down. If you offend your concubine as a last resort, you will be punished with death!"

His words were concise and concise, and he explained the incident clearly in just a few sentences.

The main purpose is to let the seal eunuchs around His Majesty know that they have no personal grudges against Concubine Shu.

The reason why they are blocking the way of the nobles today is because they enforce the law impartially and have no choice but to do so!

Yuan Ai ignored them.

He took a few steps forward, stood two steps behind Wan Shufei, and bowed deeply with a smiling face.

"This servant pays my respects to Concubine Shu."

Concubine Wan Shu paused slightly.

She glanced at him with a cold expression and said casually:
"No need, General Manager Yuan has always been unwilling to leave early without any benefit. I can't bear your great gift."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Aiden immediately touched his knees to the ground, becoming more respectful.

The most famous person next to the emperor of the Southern Dynasty always kept a very low profile in front of the emperor's favorite concubine Wan Shufei.

"Your Majesty said this, it must be because the servant has not served you well, and the servant is guilty."

He kowtowed politely and said warmly:

"It's just that although the slave has sinned, he dare not not put the mother's body first. In the first month of the year, the weather is dry and the climate is cold and humid.

If the empress catches the cold while walking outside, I'm afraid His Majesty will be even more worried and sad. Please also ask your Majesty to take good care of yourself for Your Majesty's sake. "

Concubine Wan Shu turned around, her eyes like glass, staring at him coldly.

In the silence, you can hear the fallen leaves falling to the ground.

Suddenly I heard the woman say coldly with a hint of meaning:

"Yuan Ai, you don't have to act in front of me. I already know what the situation in Zhaohua Palace is like now."

Yuan Ai suddenly looked up, his eyes shocked.

Obviously, he did not know in advance that Concubine Wan Shu actually knew the situation in Zhaohua Palace!
Concubine Wan Shu looked condescendingly into his eyes and said word by word:

“So I must go in and take a look at the Zhaohua Palace today!

You know my temper, there is no room for negotiation on this matter, as for His Majesty."

She raised the corners of her lips, and a faint hint of sarcasm passed over her lips.

"I will have my own explanation in the future."

After Concubine Wan Shu finished speaking, she lifted up her skirt and turned around abruptly, facing the main entrance of Zhaohua Palace and walking slowly.

"Step aside."

Several imperial guards looked at each other.

He turned to look at the person in charge, but saw that Yuan Ai was silent, so he did not dare to disobey the order and could only get out of the way.

Then, everyone looked on in shock or confusion as Concubine Wan gently pushed open the closed door of Zhaohua Hall.

She had a solemn expression, but with her back to everyone, her eyes flashed with unconcealable pain and excitement.

Concubine Shu, who was favored in the harem, was not accompanied by a maid at this time.

She stepped forward into the towering threshold that was more than an inch high, and the palace door slowly closed behind her.

The next moment, the back of Concubine Wan Shu, who was dressed in a white palace dress, and the scenery in the courtyard were locked into the deep and desolate palace.
