Chapter 25: Old People in the Deep Palace [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

"Who?!"

"A mayfly shaking Kunlun is admirable but it does not overestimate one's own abilities."

Duan Ming, who was standing by the window, had his hair standing on end. Before he could step back, a spear tip pierced through the window paper and went straight into his brain. Then the spear shook and violently thrust upward, directly tearing a good head into the air!
Wow!

There was a bloody rain in the study.

When everyone was stunned, a pair of gentle almond-shaped eyes looked in through the broken window frame:

"Master Yu, the commander of the Blue Dragon Pivot, is here to invite all of my colleagues to start their journey."

Fragments of swords and sabers——

The fighting on the street had ended. In the pool of blood, the young man raised his head unwillingly and looked at the man with a crooked robe and a saber on his shoulder walking up to him.

"Ma, Ma Guandao, you are the second son of the Wang family. So that's how it is. The gangsters who rushed into the yamen earlier were the remnants of you..."

"The remnants?"

The black-bearded man in front of him laughed instead of getting angry, and pointed at him: "Because of what you said, I will charge you with resisting arrest today and kill you on the spot."

The young man spat and said, "Kill if you want. This is the capital! I want to see how long you can run rampant. I will wait for you underground first!"

"Then you have to wait."

The black-bearded man patted his clothes with a bandit-like look on his face:
"Look at what this is? I am an official now! I am a centurion of the Western Palace! It is only natural for me to arrest you. If you resist arrest again, your death will be in vain!"

The young man suddenly felt it was absurd.

He gnashed his teeth and said angrily: "Then do you know that I am the governor of Xuanwushu? You want to arrest me on the street without even a written approval document. Even if Wei Mingqi came, it would not make sense!"

The black-bearded man was startled when he heard this, and turned his head to look at his side: "Approval document? Don't we have it?"

"...Brother, have you forgotten?"

The brother next to him answered honestly: "There were so many people waiting at that time that Shi Fengguan couldn't write all the letters even though his hand was smoking. Big brother, you got impatient and brought us here first."

"Oh--"

The black-bearded man slapped his forehead, turned his head and looked at the young man nonchalantly: "I'm sorry, pacification officer, I'll give you another one after I collect the body."

"you--"

Swish!
"Too much nonsense."

The black-bearded man put away his long sword, his eyes indifferent:
"Let's go to the next house. Yu Niang said that when the Dragon Head enters the palace, we have to get things done outside the palace. We can't let the nobles in the palace look down on us."

"Yes!"

The fish and dragons rolled away, and even the remaining snow rolled up by the corners of their clothes looked solemn and menacing.

As the sky gradually darkened, the government offices in the capital fell eerily silent.

In a dragon city, in the study room of the side hall of Chengtian Palace, the majestic earth dragon warmed up the luxurious and large room. Every half an hour, a secret letter would be handed in to the desk for the woman at the head of the desk to open and read.

"Queen Mother——"

A female official quietly walked up to the woman and whispered, "His Majesty has sent someone again, and he's urging us to see it."

The elegant nobleman at the head of the table raised his head, revealing a charming and seductive face. The tails of his fox eyes, as charming as autumn water, were captivating, but revealed a rare helplessness.

Snapped.

Hao put a secret letter on the table with his hand, and the noble said softly: "This makes me angry after reading all this, it will be terrible if she reads it, let her study history in peace, I will go to test her homework later."

"Yes."

"Where's Lord Wan? Send someone to bring him back. Wei Mingqi has been causing trouble since he left for a few days. The secret envoys from the southwest have been asking him about it in a roundabout way today. There's a big situation over there, and we must not let them affect us." "Lord Wan..."

"What happened to Wan Gong?"

"Mr. Wan has gone to look for someone."

"..."

After many years, Wei Mingqi was once again awakened by the cold in his sleep. His teeth were chattering. He got up and looked around, only to find that the bed under him was not a mud kang, but an extremely cold and hard bed.

"How come you, a man, are still curled up and shaking like a child when you sleep? It's really unbearable to watch."

A strange female voice came from behind.

Wei Mingqi turned around and saw a woman boiling medicine at the other side of the bed. Because she was lying sideways, he could only see her voluptuous back and the goose yellow palace dress she was wearing, which took a lot of time and effort to make with fine stitching. Just like the palace behind her, the dress had become faded and old after years of repeated washing, and no longer resembled the splendor of its past.

"…where am I now?"

Wei Mingqi's voice was still a little hoarse.

Gululu.

The soup started to boil. The palace servant grabbed the lid of the pot with a cloth and scooped up the soup while avoiding his topic. Instead, he asked about his condition: "Where did you get poisoned? Why did you fall down outside the palace?"

Wei Mingqi recounted his previous experience, and then said: "That man's target was not me, I just accidentally discovered his whereabouts. Miss, do you know who else is in Dongyuan now?"

"..."

After serving the soup, the man turned around and said slowly, "A bunch of wild cats, a few shabby palaces with nothing valuable, and a few old concubines. The strong men who managed to sneak into the palace should not be interested in these, right?"

"..."

No, there are definitely warriors who charge for love. Wei Mingqi looked at the woman in front of him, and this thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

Although this woman calls herself the 'Old Concubine', she is actually not very old. At most, she is the same age as my master. And no matter whether it is a man or a woman, they will feel pity when they see her for the first time -

She is tall and voluptuous, with skin as white as jade. She has a flawless body that is most tempting, but her eyes are clear and her eyebrows are childish. She has a kind of girlish feeling that countless women after their age desire, and she is an 'unconscious' woman who relies on her beauty to commit crimes.

Wei Mingqi looked up at the huge palace.

Perhaps in the past, there were countless palace maids and eunuchs busying around here, decorating the place with flowers and splendor, just to serve the one person favored by the emperor.

But times have changed, and now the palace is empty and deserted, with only two lamps lit in front of the bed. The dim and weak flames can only illuminate a few feet in front of the bed. The atmosphere of loneliness and desolation is so strong that it cannot be described.

Wei Mingqi vaguely guessed who this palace maid was.

He avoided the previous topic, took the medicine handed to him, and then said slowly: "This matter is very serious. I will report it as soon as possible. You'd better not live here for the time being."

"This is the only place I live in the palace."

The palace servant covered the fire and extinguished it, then urged: "Drink the medicine and leave early. No matter who you are, entering the East Garden without reason is a capital crime. I have already made a mistake for 'Coal Ball'. Don't hurt me again."

Briquettes?

jerk?

The woman's idea of ​​naming was unexpectedly in line with his.

It had been several hours since he fell into a coma. Not knowing what was happening outside, Wei Mingqi did not dare to stay for long. He hurriedly drank the medicine and was about to leave when he remembered something.

"correct."

He turned around and asked the palace servant who was making the bed:
"Do you want to leave the palace?"

The woman stood there in shock, then suddenly blushed and cursed: "You? Don't even think about it, I can be your aunt——"
