The night is getting dark, and the sky is full of stars sprinkled in the sky, emitting a little light.The courtyard is so quiet that only the sound of the leaves being blown by the wind can be heard.

Servants in twos and threes were quietly waiting outside a wing room. A handsome maid came to the door with a basin full of water, and briefly nodded to the surrounding servants. opened the door, and said respectfully to the inside: "I will wait for you to wash up."

There was no response from inside the room, but the maid seemed to have gotten used to it, whispered an apology, opened the door and walked inside.

This room is thoughtfully furnished, and all the supplies are carefully selected, which are hard to find in the market.But in such a well-decorated room, there is only one person locked up.

Those who are locked are generally enemies or captives, and the most normal place for this normal confinement should be a prison cell, or even a woodshed.But at this moment, such a routine was violated, which made people puzzled.

The maid personally persuaded: "The master told me to wait and take good care of you. You should use more. If this continues, I'm afraid your body will not be able to bear it anymore."

Zhu Houzhao is indeed a lot thinner now, this maid is Ye Gucheng's original personal maid, she can be regarded as a trustworthy person, otherwise she would not be allowed to take care of Zhu Houzhao.Learn more about them.

The maid sighed lightly. Although she didn't know what their city lord's intentions were, she knew that no one would be in the mood to eat and drink after experiencing such a big change, with a lot of thoughts in their hearts and depression. of.

"I'll go and warm up a bowl of bird's nest for you, you can use a little."

The maid who had turned around didn't see Zhu Houzhao's deep eyes that suddenly opened. Zhu Houzhao didn't sit up until she closed the door, and said to the wardrobe on the right side: "Come out."

Ying Si, who was dressed in black night clothes, jumped out from behind and knelt down on one knee: "Your subordinate is late to save you, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Why are you guilty?" Zhu Houzhao smiled inexplicably, "If you are all guilty, then those who are really dereliction of duty and thugs should have quarreled and exterminated their families long ago!"

Zhu Houzhao lost his mind for a while, and suddenly asked: "Today... what time is it?"

"It's already August [-]th, according to the Holy Spirit."

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Where are they?"

"The Southern King's guard of honor has arrived at the capital at this moment, and has already been monitored by internal detectives. It's just that City Lord Ye is very skilled in martial arts, and he walks alone, so it's not easy for spies to follow. But we can be sure that he has arrived in the capital." Ying Siyi After a pause, he said again, "City Lord Ye and Ximen Chuuxue originally agreed to a decisive battle on the [-]th of August at the Zijin Peak, but...they moved back the date by one month and changed it to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Zhu Houzhao responded vaguely, grabbed the chain in his hand, twisted and pulled, and the whole chain was untied.He looked at the room in a daze again, and sighed after a long time: "I'm afraid you will be miserable these days, they don't know too much, you just need to pretend to be me and stay there, it's time to eat." It doesn't matter what they should drink. It's just that if they want to kill..." Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed coldly, and he said: "You don't have to worry anymore. I have observed that except for one housekeeper, there is still some strength here, and the others are not enough For fear, it is definitely not your opponent. Kill all those who should be killed when the time comes."

On August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival feast was held, and the royal relatives and relatives of all ethnic groups were present.Even in the past, Prince Nan, who seldom appeared in front of the crowd, came this time.Everyone sighed when they saw Nan Wangshizi's sallow complexion and emaciated body.

Looking at this appearance, you can tell that he is a tuberculosis ghost, and he has a few years to live. In the royal family, it is regarded as a big deal to spread branches and leaves.Only in this generation, the young emperor has been reluctant to accept concubines for a long time, and his iron-blooded methods have made countless courtiers dare not rashly disobey and mention things that their emperors do not want to mention.

However, when it comes to the previous generation, only King Taiping and King Nan are direct descendants of the royal family.Regardless of their direct bloodlines, there are only two of them now, but one of them is not capable of bearing children.

Several ministers exchanged glances with each other and narrowed their gazes. After all, this is a matter for the royal family and has little to do with them.Although I hope that my daughter can marry the royal family, in the final analysis, the risks involved are still prohibitive.

Today's state banquet was a big success, but the emperor said that officials from all walks of life in Beijing, the royal family does not need to rush back. In the second ten days of September, the emperor is going to review the army, and invites nobles of all ranks to watch together.

As soon as this order came out, everyone was surprised.

The lights of Nanwang Mansion stayed on all night.

In the south study room, Zhu Yiqing was wearing the emperor's uniform, lying on the table where the memorial was placed, sleeping soundly, almost drooling.In a trance, he felt a strong wind blowing towards him, and it flew towards his forehead in an instant. At the very moment, the sleeping person suddenly sat up, and his eyes sharply grasped the object that was attacking him.

He was handsome for only three seconds, and the next moment he was shocked by the touch of the object in his hand, his face cracked.He looked down and saw that it was really a piece of pea yellow, which was crushed by him at the moment and stuck in his hand.

Zhu Yiqing looked up at the man in black in embarrassment, and called out with a bitter face, "Cousin."

The man in black, standing with his hands behind his back, pulled off the mask on his face.A face similar to Zhu Yiqing's was revealed, looking at him with a half-smile.

Zhu Yiqing pretended to be Zhu Houzhao in the palace, and the same Zhu Houzhao also made a little cover up outside the palace. They were cousins, and their faces were similar. Not many people had seen Zhu Yiqing outside, and it was impossible to stare at the face of a county king. The inspection below the face violates the inspection above, so Zhu Houzhao is different from Zhu Yiqing, but only made a little modification on the face.But his disguise method is special, and no one knows about it.

When Zhu Yiqing saw the expression on this face that was eight times like her own, she just felt a stomachache for a moment.He sighed secretly in his heart, his cousin's expression was definitely ruthless.Although the root cause is not him, but... there is a word called misfortune and pond fish!

Zhu Hou took a look at him, snorted softly, and didn't say anything else. He took out a small bottle from his side and touched his face a few times, and the slightly modified facial features instantly returned to their original state. His phoenix eyes instantly made his face harden, and the cynical smile on his thin lips was also put away, no longer curved.Although it is only a small modification, it seems to have changed a person.Whether it is temperament, appearance or even personality, it seems that at this moment, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

But Zhu Yiqing clearly noticed that the haze buried in Zhu Houzhao's eyes was deeper.

Zhu Yiqing looked at him worriedly, Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, and his expression eased: "There is nothing serious recently."

Zhu Yiqing shook her head: "Recently, many people from the rivers and lakes have come because of this decisive battle, but after all, they are still a group of loose sand, so there is no big storm here."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Don't be careless. Have you seen Huo Tianqing?"

A hint of interest flashed across Zhu Yiqing's eyes at that time, obviously thinking of that proud and stubborn person, he blinked and replied: "Well, he is an interesting person."

"Interesting..." Zhu Houzhao laughed, "You..."

After Zhu Houzhao took care of himself, he sat in front of the case and began to deal with the memorials that were placed on the table.While looking at it, he said to him: "Stay in the palace recently, dress up if you want to eat, it's time to collect the net, don't show your feet."

Zhu Yiqing suddenly realized what he had overlooked just now. Before Ye Gucheng started the decisive battle, his cousin returned to the palace.Now let him not appear in front of people... This...

Zhu Hou looked at him thoughtfully, knowing that he had already guessed roughly, he rubbed his temples, and the long journey still brought him a lot of fatigue: "Do everything according to the plan."

Just look at your final choice.
