If everything is not as he imagined, I'm afraid Mr. Zhang will not be able to save him, but instead put Jing Yi on the table.He also thought that Jing Yi acted like this entirely because of him, and he would definitely not let him make any mistakes in the future.

With too many thoughts in his head, the fire in his heart became hotter and hotter, and his whole heart was about to jump out of his chest.After finally holding back until Yinshi, he couldn't bear it and sat up from the bed.

Looking outside the door, there are still stars twinkling in the sky, the whole palace is pitch black, and there is no spark in Jing Yi's room.Xue Yao didn't know what he was going to do, he sat blankly on the stone table, just quietly looking at the window, waiting for the dawn.

At this time, in the Chongzheng Hall, the civil and military ministers dressed in noble purple have been divided into two groups, standing under the golden steps, and the early court has begun.

Xue Yao was suffering in Jinghua Palace, he couldn't be in a hurry, he waited for the sky to gradually become brighter, waited for the Empress Dowager to get up, and waited for the lights in Jingyi's room to turn on.

The night wind before dawn caressed the bamboo forest, and there was a thin rustling sound.Xue Yao finally saw the light in Jing Yi's window.After a while, Zhuchun saw Zhuchun enter the house from the outside with a few court ladies.Xue Yao stood up from the stone table and startled a stray cat in the corridor. The stray cat didn't expect the human-shaped thing to move, so it let out a 'meow' in fright, and jumped out hastily.

The court ladies turned their heads and looked this way one after another. Seeing that it was a cat, they all breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and entered Jing Yi's room again. No one noticed that there was another person here.

Xue Yao watched them coming in and out until they were all gone before he stepped to the door and called out, "Your Highness."

Jing Yi was coming out of the room, and he wasn't surprised to see Xue Yao, as if he knew he would definitely come, "Since you're here, come with me to invite the Queen Mother."

Jing Yi wore a formal suit of a prince today, dark red. Xue Yao remembered that Jing Yi wore this outfit when they first went to the harem to pay their respects, and he wore this outfit again today. It seems that he is ready to go to the hall I was ready, and then no longer hesitated, nodding should be.

A dim light over there slowly moved towards them.When he got closer, he realized that it was Chen Zhao and Huzi. Seeing them, Xue Yao felt less fear for some reason.

Chen Zhao came over with a lamp, "Your Highness, I will lead you the way."

Jing Yi smiled, "Okay, let's go together."

Huzi blinked at Xue Yao and walked beside him.

Xue Yao thought he had been sleeping deeply, and didn't want him to face these with Chen Zhao.Unexpectedly, he came by himself, and asked in a low voice from behind, "Why are you here?"

Huzi chuckled, "At this time, it is the moment to witness a miracle. That kid Chen Zhao is here. Isn't it a pity that I don't come?"

Xue Yaoxin said that maybe it was an unlucky moment to witness, but seeing that Huzi was so confident, he wished it would be as he thought, hoping that this would be a miracle morning.

A group of people walked through the imperial garden. The flowers in the circle were still covered with dew, exuding a faint fragrance. The door to the concubine's residence was only opened. Several elderly nuns saw the sixth prince coming, and panicked. Doze your head and salute.

Jing Yi responded with a smile, and then led the crowd to the Ciming Palace.

The maid who guarded the palace gate led them to the side hall. This time, Xue Yao and the others were not allowed to wait outside the gate.

This was Xue Yao's first time entering the palace of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager loved birds very much. There were birdcages hanging all the way under the corridor. What kind of parrots and thrushes were chattering non-stop at this moment.I don't know if it's because people are afraid of loneliness when they are old, and they always like to keep some small animals by their side, at least they don't feel lonely and deserted.On weekdays, Xue Yao still had the heart to tease him, but at this time he had no idea.

There was a parrot that could speak human language. Seeing Jing Yi approaching, he greeted him, "Jing Er, Jing Er, you are here."

It made Hu Zi almost laugh, this bird is interesting, but I don't know if it tastes good when roasted.

Jing Yi waited quietly, and after a while, he saw the Queen Mother in full uniform coming from the apse, Jing Yi quickly stepped forward to salute, and called out, "Grandmother."

Xue Yao and the others hurriedly bowed to salute.

The Empress Dowager was supported by an elderly court lady, leaning on a black dragon-headed cane, and waved to them, "Get up."

Jing Yi walked forward naturally, and skillfully held the right hand of the queen mother, as if this action had been done countless times, and helped the queen mother to sit on the carved chair of the master. The queen mother was old, and the chair was covered with a layer of tigers. Skin, Jing Yi asked softly while arranging the tiger skin, "Grandma, have you had breakfast yet?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Jing Yi with kindness in her eyes, "It's been used. Grandma, I know that our little Jinger is kind-hearted, and grandma won't delay your work. Let's go now and go to the Chongzheng Hall to see your father. go."

Jing Yi was overwhelmed with mixed feelings for a moment, and he was so moved that he didn't know how to express it, so he knelt down in front of the Queen Mother with a 'plop', "Grandmother, grandson doesn't know how to thank you, so let grandson give you a few nods." Said When it was over, he dozed off a few times with a real thump.

"You child, what are you doing, get up, get up." The queen mother couldn't move herself, so she called the maid who was close to her, "Xue Niang, go and help Jing'er up for me."

The maid named Xueniang, who looked about forty years old, should be an old man from the Ciming Palace, helped Jing Yi up in response, picked up a handkerchief and wiped Jing Yi's forehead, "Look at this silly child, the Queen Mother knows your Heart, you really dozed off hard, and if you doze off your head, the Empress Dowager should feel distressed again."

After finishing speaking, she took Jing Yi's hand and dragged him to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager saw that the child's eyes were a little red and felt distressed. She took his hand and said, "Got it, grandma knows what you think. Don’t be afraid, just do it boldly, grandma will protect you no matter what.”

Then he ordered someone to arrange a sedan chair, and the group went to Chongzheng Hall.

At this time, the sky was already dim, and a group of winding people walked on the empty bluestone road, except for the creaking of sedan chairs, there was no sound at all.Huzi held his breath even more, he didn't even dare to say a word, the imperial palace is such a place, even if there are no tall buildings hundreds of feet high, the majesty alone is overwhelming, people don't even have the courage to raise their heads, just follow the front Walk in human footsteps.

The gate of Chongzheng Hall was closed tightly, and a row of guards with knives stood at the gate, and they all knelt down to salute when they saw the Empress Dowager's sedan chair being driven over.Long ago, a young eunuch with a fly whisk led the sedan chair to the side hall.

The side hall of the Chongzheng Hall was used for the emperor to take a short break during his reign. There was a small door next to it, which was a tea room. Xue Yao and the others were arranged to wait in the tea room.
