"Hurry up, we're leaving soon."
"Alright."
The little girl quickly packed her things.
After everyone finished their preparations, they split into two groups and entered the palace.
Because the crowd did not know that Nangong Ao was outside the palace, Nangong Ao had to enter through the palace's secret passageway.
Nangong Ao handed over a identity token to Jin Xiao Ai. This is the identity token for entering the palace. When you arrive at the entrance, you will give this item to the guards and they will let you in. I'm going to go to court alone now. In order to avoid suspicion. If the guards ask you who you are, say that you are nobles whom I have invited to the palace. No one will make things difficult for you with my personal order badge. "
Although they could not be together with Nangong Ao, Jin Xiaoyi still nodded his head. After all, no matter if it was those in the palace or those outside, no one knew about Nangong Ao's situation outside the palace. He had to enter the palace without anyone noticing. Thus, she decided to follow his instructions and enter the palace.
The two groups of people parted not far from the palace gate.
Although Nangong Ao had already given the order badge to Jin Xiaoyi, the people at the entrance were all Nangong Jue's men. He was worried that something might happen, so he had to enter the palace to make the proper arrangements.
Very quickly, they arrived at the entrance of the palace. Jin Xiaoyi and her group followed Nangong Ao's instructions and handed the plaque to the guards. The guards were two younger guards. They looked at the token in Jin Xiaoyu's hands in disbelief.
"Is this really yours?" Just who are you people? Don't think that you can sneak in just by taking a fake one. "
"My two big brothers, don't tell me you two don't recognize the authenticity of this thing?" This is the real deal. "
Jin Xiaoyi tried his best to hold in his temper. After all, this was the Imperial Palace, so she wouldn't be so foolish as to bring disaster upon herself. It was better to avoid trouble.
"Is that the truth? This girl, don't think that we two brothers are fools. You don't seem to be the family of any of the adults, much less someone from the palace. This is the palace, not a market place. No one can enter just because they want to! "
At this point, Jin Xiao Ai finally understood that these two guards were clearly looking down on them. If not for her carefree life in order to complete the quest as soon as possible, she wouldn't have brought trouble upon herself.
What's so good about the palace? It's just a big cage.
"Brothers, we are the honored guests invited by the emperor. You should be able to see that this identity token is not an ordinary identity token. You should know that the emperor asked us to enter the palace. If we delay matters regarding the emperor, your partner will at least be able to?"
Jin Xiao Ai really didn't want to put on airs, but if she didn't, they wouldn't be able to get in.
The two guards stared at the badge again and again. This thing was indeed completely different from the ones they had seen before. Besides, it didn't look fake.
However, this was the entrance of the palace. If someone were to sneak in, they might not be able to handle it.
"No, unless someone can prove your identity, we can't let you go. If something happens, we can't afford it."
Jin Xiao Ai was convinced by these two guards.
He was furious. A small head popped out of the carriage.
The little girl had always been cute and charming. At this moment, she was blinking her large eyes innocently at the two guards, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Uncle, we are really good people. They really called us here. Please, uncles, let us in. If we delay things, that person will blame my mother. "
Her round and cute face was covered with tears. When had those two guards ever seen such a cute little person?
Heavens, she was so tender.
"Alright, alright. This sign is indeed real. I'll let you guys in." However, do not think that this is a casual place, if you dare to play any tricks, I guarantee that you will not escape alive after entering the palace. "
"Thank you uncles."
Looking at her innocent smile, the two guards' hearts melted.
It really was like a jade. So cute.
Finally, they could enter the palace.
Nangong Ao had indeed successfully entered the palace. He was worried that Jin Xiaoyi and the others would not be able to make it. Thus, he sent a personal guard to the entrance of the palace. On the way, the guards ran into Jin Xiao Ai's group. He then brought Jin Xiao Ai and the others to the side chamber.
Normally, the side chamber was where Nangong Ao read his books, but it could also be said to be a study. However, this side chamber was different from the study. There were no bookshelves, but there was an extra soft couch. It was a simple little room.
"Everyone, wait here for a while. The emperor will arrive in a moment."
After the guard had left, Jin Xiaoye found a seat and sat down. Fortunately, she came in. If she knew it would be so troublesome to enter the palace, she wouldn't have come in even if she was beaten to death.
This place was indeed grand, but she did not understand why such a place like this seemed to have a dragon aura. It was rather boring, and she did not see many people living here.
"Mother, so the place you're talking about is the Imperial Palace." The palace is so big, it looks like it's a little more fun than the Residence of Prince An. "However, we can't stay here for too long. Otherwise, how boring would it be?"
"I know that as well, but this time we're not here to play." Little girl, this palace is so big, don't run around. Even if you lose me, I don't know where to go to find you. As for us, we'll wait until the Emperor comes to find us, and then we'll leave the palace after dealing with the matter. "
The little girl pouted. Such a big place made him feel really depressed. If his mother didn't allow him to run around, he wouldn't run around. Could it be that he was just waiting to suffocate to death? Heh heh, he will definitely take a stroll around when he finds the chance.
After Nangong Ao returned to the palace, he immediately changed into a dragon robe. He loved red, so most of his dragon robes were also red. Only his blessings were bright yellow.
However, he barely wore that auspicious outfit.
Nangong Ao looked at Xiao Yuan coldly. He was the person who played the role of the fake emperor, and also the Wu Yuan who used to stand by his side in the Wind Listening Pavilion.
"You said that Nangong Jue is starting to suspect that you're not the real emperor?"
"Yes, Prince An has joined forces with four lords to come here today. This is especially true for the Young Villa Master of the Green Sword Villa, Luo Feifan. Luo Yuan's sense of smell was very sensitive. Even if there was only a tiny difference, he could still tell the difference. This subordinate is worried that Young Villa Master Luo already knows that I am a fake, and thus requests the Emperor to return. "
Nan Gong Ao frowned. He did not expect Nangong Jue to think of such a plan. In that case, it would be extremely dangerous if he didn't return. Fortunately, he was back in time.
"Enough, you don't have to worry. They won't be able to get anything from me." Who would have thought that King An would join forces with those from the harem. As expected, those men from the harem can't be left any longer. "
Back then, although he'd kept these people, because of the power behind them, he hadn't made a move to force them out of the palace. Now, it was time to send them out.
The people of the world all thought that he liked men, but they didn't know that he had never had this sort of preference.
He just wanted to cover it up.
"Xiao Yuan, follow me. It has been hard on you these few days. I will remember what you have done. I will now take you to see Lady Jin. When the time is right, I will choose her as my backer. However, there were also some minor troubles. Forget it. I brought her to the palace because I hope those men will know that I have never liked men. Come with me to see her. "
Xiao Yuan's mouth formed an "O" shape.
The Emperor was talking about Jin Xiao Ai, that seemingly infinite Jin Xiao Ai.
Hadn't the emperor been looking for that woman from five years ago? Why would he suddenly think of Jin Xiao Ai?
Xiao Yuan was a little shocked. He had been by Nangong Ao's side for so many years, Nangong Ao naturally knew what he was thinking.
"Xiao Yuan, she's no other than that woman from five years ago."
This time, Xiao Yuan was even more surprised.
It had to be that woman.
Although that woman was very special, perhaps there wouldn't be a second one in the entire Heavenly Imperial Kingdom. However, if he became the Imperial Mother, then those lords would have a reason to cause trouble for the Emperor.
"Don't worry, she isn't an ordinary woman. She will definitely make everyone sincerely submit to her."
The corners of Nangong Ao's mouth raised into a confident smile.
He knew that Jin Xiaoyi would definitely be able to do it. Jin Xiaoye was such a unique woman.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Nangong Ao had yet to arrive, Jin Xiaoyi became a little impatient. That stinking man, why hasn't he come yet? It would be insane for him to stay in this room with her.
Jin Xiaoyi opened the door. There were guards at the entrance. They stretched out their hands to block her way.
Damn, that stinking man. Who did he think he was? Was he imprisoning her?
"What do you mean by blocking the door?"
Jin Xiaoyi tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. He even put on a calm expression.
The guard replied expressionlessly, "The emperor ordered servants to protect the young lady's safety. When the young lady first enters the palace, it's best if she doesn't wander around."
In the end, it was still her fault.
Humph.
Jin Xiaoyi snorted coldly.
Damn Nangong Ao, I will settle this debt with you later.
With a cold expression, Jin Xiaoyi waited for Nangong Ao to appear.
Nangong Ao finally came. The moment he entered the side chamber, he saw Jin Xiaoyi's cold face.
"We are late. I'll show you all around the palace. "
Nangong Ao had an obsequious smile on his face as he looked carefully at Jin Xiao Ai's expression. The anger on Jin Xiaoyi's face had yet to subside.
Seeing that she did not move, Nangong Ao knew that he had offended this little woman. Fine, there was no other way. He decided to go and comfort her. Otherwise, this little woman's anger would never dissipate.
"I was worried that you would get lost if you weren't familiar with the palace, so I didn't let you go out for a walk. Aren't we coming here right after This Emperor finishes with the matter? "
"Okay, I can let this go, but I heard that you have many beauties in the harem, so you should bring me to see. Perhaps I'll be happier like this."
Actually, the reason why she wanted to leave earlier was to see a beautiful man.
It was said in the TV series that other than the emperor, there were no normal handsome men living in the palace. However, Nangong Ao had raised a male pet in the imperial harem, and since it could be called a male pet, then these men must have their own specialties.
Even though she knew he was the man from five years ago, she didn't insist on watching him.
Nangong Ao felt helpless. In the end, he decided to bring Jin Xiao Ai to the harem to have a look.
Within the palace, the four beautiful men were gathered together once more.
The four of them had different personalities, but the four of them could only breathe with one nostril when they encountered one thing.
