Chapter 554

"Are you going to enter the palace now?" Xu Mingyi was slightly surprised. She felt uneasy about the existence of the layers of palace walls. It seemed that once she went in, she would be tied up. Life and death could not be controlled by herself. Was it too risky for her grandfather to go so far?

"Don't worry, grandpa is sure." the Duke of the town looked at his granddaughter and said with a smile, "stay at home and wait for grandpa to come back for dinner."

Xu Mingyi hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly.

Grandpa didn't look like he was dazzled by anger. I think he had plans.

After so many things, she believed in her grandfather's ability, especially the king of Yan had discussed with him.

But seeing that the old man turned out of the front hall, her back was much thinner than usual, she suddenly couldn't help chasing out.

"Grandfather -"

Looking at the girl who caught up, the Duke of town always smiled in his eyes.

"...." Xu Mingyi whispered in the old man's ear.

The Duke of the town was very surprised, and when he was surprised, his face was all happy - well, it's his family. Well done!

"One more thing... Can grandpa bring Yue Pei back to the city? Is he still alive?"

Since grandfather chose to keep this person, he would not do it on the way, but it was hard to say whether the other party would wait for the opportunity to commit suicide——

The Duke nodded, "I'm back, alive."

At that time, he left this man alive, but he didn't expect the other party to live until the day he returned to Beijing. It is said that the task assigned by the emperor was not completed, and there was such a big mistake. If other people were afraid that they would choose to commit suicide and give themselves a good time, how dare they save their life to return to the capital?

For a moment he could not say whether he was too counsellor or too kind.

But whether the other party is dead or alive has no impact on his plan, otherwise life and death cannot be decided by the other party.

Xu Mingyi was sure of it.

Knowing that he would face terrible consequences after returning to Beijing, he still came back alive

Do you think someone in Beijing can help you live?

And the living are more useful than the dead——

"Grandpa, be careful." Xu Mingyi asked others without further delay.

The Duke of town nodded, "let's have a good meal in the evening..." when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, "by the way, is the boy of the Wu family still in Beijing?"

"Yes."

A smile appeared in the eyes of the Duke of town. This boy was really good. He did what he said and said he would stay in Beijing to protect his granddaughter until now. Wu Jun must have urged people to return to Ningyang. Hey, his grandson who was carefully raised didn't listen to orders. What's the feeling in his heart?

Thinking of this, the old man was in a good mood and said with a smile, "since he didn't leave, he asked someone to come home for dinner! But remember to come quietly."

Xu Mingyi blinked.

Grandpa wants Wu Tsun to come home for dinner?

And it was the first meal after grandpa returned to Beijing——

She thought and nodded.

The Duke of the town went with a line of soldiers.

Cui came out of the hall at this time. The mother and daughter were talking and walking towards the inner courtyard.

When Xu Mingyi returned to Xiyuan, he was about to make ah Zhu go to Xuesheng teahouse to pass a word, but he didn't think Wu Tsui came first.

These two days, Xiao Qi has been guarding near the town government. Naturally, he also saw the visit of Li Ji and others today. He realized that something might happen, so he hurriedly reported it to his childe.

Xu Mingyi slipped out through the back door.

Wu Tsui was waiting in a narrow lane not far behind the town government.

It's cool in the lane. There are vines on one side. Its leaves are dense. It's the time when green and yellow are beautiful.

Standing under the wall, the tall and straight young man like jade heard the sound of light footsteps, so he raised his eyes and looked at it.

The girl was carrying a light lotus colored fine silk skirt and embroidered shoes, stepping on the green bricks that still had rain, with a brisk pace.

Seeing her, the young man looked slightly loose and walked forward a few steps.

"I heard Xiao Qi say that a palace man came to the door today?"

Xu Ming nodded to him, and she knew that he must have heard the news. Otherwise, according to his calm and proper style, she wouldn't have come to her like this.

She had no reason to hide the intention of the palace from him: "the emperor sent someone to send a message to grant me the imperial concubine."

Even though Wu Chiu expected something, when he really heard this sentence, he frowned immediately. His eyes and tone were suddenly cold: "how dare you move this mind? He really thought his life was too long -"

Xu Mingyi seldom saw him look like this. She couldn't help thinking of the scene in his dream when he broke into the emperor's bedroom with his sword. She subconsciously stretched out her hand, gently grabbed his wrist, and said firmly: "don't worry, I won't remarry, and I won't take this absurd will."

Change... Marriage?

The young man looked at her with a frozen look.

What she meant by this... Did she decide to marry him?

And the tone that wanted to reassure him sounded more like "don't worry, I won't want you"

Thinking of this, the young man's ears were slightly hot, and the corners of his mouth bent uncontrollably. In an instant, the ice and snow melted between his eyebrows and eyes, and the cold was completely removed.

Xu Mingyi also realized that the saying of "remarriage" was not appropriate. After all, she had not married or engaged... But she didn't change her mouth. Anyway, she really wanted to marry him. There was nothing to hide, and even pretended to refuse in the future to appear reserved and noble enough.

She didn't feel shy either. She still held his wrist and hung it on her face with a bright smile: "by the way, my grandfather has come back."

"I have just heard about it." Wu Tsui thought back slightly: "how is the Duke of the kingdom?"

"It looks ok. I haven't had time to examine it carefully, but I think I have to take good care of it for some time."

Wu Tsui nodded. As long as people are safe, recuperation is a small matter.

"Grandpa also invited you to dinner at my house in the evening. I was about to send a message to you - are you free in the evening?"

Wu Tsung nodded quickly after he was stunned.

Naturally.

Must be empty!

"Then I'll go back and prepare it now -"

The first official visit to the door, of course, can't be casual, so as not to make the future Yue family think he doesn't pay enough attention.

"No, No." Xu Mingyi hurriedly said, "don't stick to those rites. My grandfather specially told me that he had to go quietly, so he must not go through the front door."

Wu Tsui:?

Why do you feel like you have to go through the side door when you are carried into the concubine room?

But the girl's next words told him to give up the idea.

"The side door and the back door should not be able to do so..." Xu Ming meant to say, "recently, the palace eye liner is staring at our town hall." then I'll ask him to find out a back wall which nobody cares about, so that you can turn it in quietly... Do you think it's all right?

After a moment of silence, Wu Tsung said: "... It's very appropriate."

The Duke of the Kingdom affirmed him by calling him in.

As the saying goes, a man should know how to cherish happiness. He is not the kind of person who doesn't appreciate it.

However, the first visit was to climb over the wall

He has never climbed over the wall of the town government, nor has he ever thought of going over it, but this time he was invited by his master... So, it shouldn't be too rude and offensive?

Seeing his look, Xu Mingyi felt inexplicable and wanted to laugh. He also felt that the way of inviting people to be guests was quite strange.

"What other plans does the Duke have when he returns to Beijing?" Wu Tsui's attention quickly returned to the real business.

If the Duke of the kingdom is really determined to break his face with the emperor, he doesn't have to care that his visit to the door will lead the emperor to speculate - the Duke of the Kingdom has always been very affectionate and nature. Such arrangement seems to have other plans, so he will be cautious.

"I also think my grandfather has plans." Xu Mingyi said, "and he went to the palace."

"Entering the palace?" Wu TSUO's eyes changed slightly: "why did the Duke enter the palace at this time?"

The emperor's most taboo now is the return of the Duke to Beijing. The poison killing trick has not been completed. At this time, he must hate and fear the Duke. It is difficult to guarantee that he will not do anything unfavorable to the Duke——

Having met with the Lord in Dongyuan City, he must have made some arrangements. It is said that the Duke no longer has to meet the emperor and risk his own safety.

"Grandpa took the imperial edict, but he didn't act on impulse. As for the real intention, he will know when Grandpa comes back in the evening."

Wu Chiu nodded, but he still felt uneasy: "are there some risks?"

"Now that the military talisman has not been obtained, the emperor is afraid and will not dare to act rashly." Xu Ming thought, "since my grandfather chose to enter the palace, I don't think he would annoy the emperor too much."

But it is difficult to ensure that the emperor will not go crazy and lose his mind

That's why she said that to her grandfather——

"I told my grandfather that the emperor has been poisoned without knowing it. If you want to get the antidote alive, you can't hurt my grandfather at all."

This is also a chip enough to protect life at a critical moment. After all, it is about the dog emperor's own life. The more selfish people are, the more they cherish their life.

Wu Tsui was puzzled: "poisoning?"

Is it a lie to cheat the emperor, or is it true?

Xu Mingyi remembered that he had not told him: "I poisoned the pill with the help of my national teacher. I was worried about my grandfather, so I forgot to tell you."

Listening to the girl, it seems that she is talking about how the weather is today. Wu Tsui only feels that she can't be connected with the event of secretly poisoning the king of a country

His family is Zhaozhao... He is really good at doing great things without saying a word.

In order to match enough, he can only suppress the ups and downs in his heart and calmly say, "it's really a good way to treat him in his own way."

Do you pay him back in his own way?

Xu Mingyi doesn't think so.

Long before her grandfather was determined to be poisoned, she thought about poisoning the dog emperor, but she didn't dare to act rashly and didn't find a suitable opportunity.

She didn't hesitate until she learned that there was indeed an expert around the emperor, and that the expert was Qiao Biying - she was sure that Qiao Biying wouldn't interfere.

Therefore, it has nothing to do with her own way. She doesn't pay so much attention to her own way. She just wants to poison the emperor.

Just in order to ensure that no abnormality is detected, so as not to be seen through by the imperial doctor, everything needs to be careful again and again, focusing on a long stream——

If ordinary people take it, or take two years a year, it will really endanger their lives, but the emperor is different. He is depressed and thinks more and angry. This is the best reminder for the onset of toxicity.

Even though the emperor suspected that he had become a national teacher and had secretly stopped taking pills, the toxicity of these days remained in his body, which was enough for him to use.

"If grandpa doesn't have to use this talisman today, you'll send a secret letter to the queen. Maybe you can use it at some point -"

This is equivalent to holding the emperor's life in the palm of his hand.

Listening to the girl, it seemed to be an explanation of "good things for everyone to share", Wu Tsung responded.

But he was still a little worried about the Duke.

"The Wu family also has some useful people in the palace. I'll send a letter and ask them to pay more attention to the situation of the Duke in the palace. If anything happens, they can know it in time so that they can try to deal with it."

Hearing this proposal, Xu Mingyi nodded: "that's good."

More preparation is always good.

The two whispered, and the sun slanted into the lane, casting wisps of clear gold.

……

Outside the Forbidden Palace, the guard could see a line of people in black armor coming with horses. The leader was close to the Forbidden Palace and had not slowed down. He couldn't help but press the waist long knife and make a alert gesture.

He shouted, "who is coming? Don't ride a horse outside the Forbidden Palace!"

However, there was no response. In his sight, he saw the leader approaching on horseback. He didn't rein in his horse until he followed the front. He turned down. The soft armor on his body and the knife on his waist made a sound of hitting each other.

The six guards were surprised to see the face of the visitor——

"General Xu?!"

Isn't General Xu in Dongyuan and ill!

Some even said that he had died of illness in a foreign land!

But now... How can you suddenly appear here!

Everyone was surprised and received the knife one after another.

Glancing at several bodyguards in front of him, Zhenguo said publicly, "I want to meet the emperor."

"Yes..." six people gave way to both sides.

When the Duke of the town entered the palace, he did not have to wait outside the Forbidden Palace.

However, the old man just took two steps, but was stopped by the two guards in front: "wait a minute, Duke..."

"Why? Can't I enter the palace?"

"It's not like this..." a bodyguard bowed his head, stretched out his hands and palms upward. "Please take off the sabre and let us take care of it temporarily."

In the past, General Xu always took the initiative to untie him without reminding when he entered the palace. Did he forget it today?

However, I heard the old man say in a fixed voice, "the first emperor made rules when he was in the palace. I don't have to unload my weapons when I enter the palace."

He used to want to unload.

Now he doesn't want to unload it, and no one is qualified to force it.

The bodyguards' faces changed and they smelled an unusual atmosphere.

"Why, are you going to stop me?"

"Don't dare!" the head guard pressed down his heart and shook, and stepped out one step: "villain leads the way for the general -"

General Xu didn't have to unload his sword, which was the rule set by the first emperor. Yes, but if he was really forbidden to wear his sword, they would be responsible for any change.

You need to follow closely in case of accidents.

The Duke of the town raised his feet and strode across the vermilion threshold.
