The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 260
The one who led her and Xiangxia was a square-faced soldier, wearing the red clothes and black armor of the Xuanwu Camp, with some beards on his face, he looked over 25 years old and experienced, not a kid anymore.

"Oh, that was after the emperor's brother died." Zhao Shuang nodded and sighed, "I used to travel with the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River and went to the Xuanwu camp, but...that was 20 years ago. , you must have never seen Bengong."

"What the eldest princess said," Xie Heng also stopped in his tracks, cupped his hands and said, "I have also heard about the great achievements of the Xuanwu camp when the former crown prince was alive. Unfortunately, when I joined the Xuanwu camp, I had already There is no previous scenery."

After the first prince passed away, the first emperor forbade anyone to mention the first prince, and the Xuanwu Camp was thrown away in captivity in the south of the Yangtze River like a topic that no one dared to bring up.

After the late emperor passed away and Zhao Hongyi came to the throne, the king regent was still afraid of the strength of the Xuanwu camp, so he intentionally left the Xuanwu camp in the cold.

"Brother Xie's words are wrong. The Xuanwu Camp is now the emperor's direct line. What could be more beautiful than this?" Zhao Shuang said with a tentative tone, "Brothers in the Xuanwu Camp, you will be promoted in the future." Entering the rank is just around the corner...Brother Xie should be happy."

"I don't dare to think about adding an official to a noble rank," Xie Heng shook his head expressionlessly, "Nowadays the world has not yet settled down, and the Central Plains is still in the middle of the war, and the Xuanwu Camp, as the emperor's direct line, bears the brunt of it. It's okay for us to guard in front of the palace gate, subordinates I heard that the Xuanwu Battalion guarding Xiyuan Road...has lost more than half of it."

Chen Yang is now besieged on all sides, and apart from the Xuanwu Camp and Long Xiaowei, he has no soldiers at his disposal.

Long Xiaowei went to the south, half of the Xuanwu Camp was stationed in Shangjing, and half went to the suburbs of Beijing and Xiyuan Road.

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang nodded lightly, and suddenly pointed to not far away and asked, "Isn't that the East Palace? The East Palace used to be lived in when the emperor was alive, but it has been vacant since then. Today, I want to... go in and pay my respects, thank you." Brother Xie is guarding outside."

"Eldest Princess, the emperor has issued an order that no one is allowed to enter the East Palace. You'd better... go to Anqing Palace to visit the Empress Dowager, and go back early." Xie Heng was obviously reluctant, for fear that she would cause him any trouble.

"What if I must go to the East Palace?" Zhao Shuang suppressed her smile, looked up at the black-armored sergeant in front of her and said, "Brother Xie, do you want to arrest me to receive the reward?"

Hearing this, Xiangxia was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe loudly, while Ruoji's hair stood on end, ready to go.

This place is located at the junction of Anqing Palace and Leng Palace. It is still some distance away from the East Palace. You can only see the roof of the East Palace from a distance. If Xie Heng shouts, countless reinforcements will come immediately. She and the princess are no match at all.

At that time, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to enter the East Palace, but he will not even be able to enter the Anqing Palace, so he will be tied up and brought in front of Chen Yang.

"Eldest princess, don't make things difficult for your subordinates." Xie Heng's hand was already on the scabbard, "The emperor has ordered, and this subordinate is just a small guard guard and dare not disobey."

"Xie Heng, do you still remember the training in the Xuanwu camp?" Zhao Shuang took two steps with his back turned to him, and there was already an extra copper coin between the fingers hidden in his big sleeve.

If Xie Heng really wants to call someone, let him be speechless again.However, she felt that it was not time to do anything, and her mana was limited, so she should use it sparingly.

Xie Heng heard her say that he was going to the East Palace, but he didn't shout loudly, which meant that he didn't want to offend himself.

"It's my duty to help... the community." Xie Heng didn't understand why she suddenly asked about the training of the Xuanwu camp.

Zhao Shuang turned her small hand, the copper coin disappeared, took out a jade pendant from her sleeve, and waved it in front of Xie Heng, "Brother Xie, what do you think this is?"

The moon-shaped jade pendant carved from white jade was about the size of a copper coin, with the word "Sheji" engraved on it.

"This... please tell the eldest princess clearly." Xie Heng saw the jade pendant, but didn't understand what it meant, and scratched his head in doubt.

Seeing Zhao Shuang's serious expression, he felt that this jade pendant should be a very powerful thing.

"This jade pendant is a gift from the emperor. Can you see the word 'Sheji' on it?" Zhao Shuang quickly put away the jade pendant and put it back in his sleeve, "The word 'Sheji' in the training of the Xuanwu Camp , refers to the person who holds this jade pendant."

"It turned out to be like this..." Xie Heng suddenly realized, and bowed his head towards her, "Why didn't the eldest princess take this jade pendant to command the entire Xuanwu camp?"

Although he had never heard of this jade pendant, but judging by Zhao Shuang's swearing, probably this jade pendant was something like a tiger talisman, and his level was low, so it was normal that he had never seen it before.

"This palace has always been low-key and doesn't like to make trouble." Zhao Shuang pointed in the direction of the East Palace again, "You just let me go to the East Palace to pay tribute to the emperor's brother, and I will come out soon, and I will never bring you brother Xie. Trouble. If someone asks about it in the future, you can just say that you followed the training of the Xuanwu Camp, and no one will blame you."

This Xie Heng is just a prudent soldier who is afraid of causing trouble, there is no need to use force, he will be deceived by changing his tricks.The white jade pendant in Zhao Shuang's hand turned back into copper coins.

"This..." Xie Heng hesitated for a moment, glanced at the clouds in the sky, and seeing that it was still early, he said, "The eldest princess, go and come back quickly, this subordinate... just stay here. If you stay at the gate of the East Palace, I'm afraid will draw attention."

"Don't worry, I'll be back after a stick of incense." After Zhao Shuang finished speaking, she led Xiangxia and Ruoji to the East Palace quickly.

The East Palace has not been repaired for a long time. Although the palace is relatively complete, the courtyard is full of weeds and there is no palace staff to clean it.

The front yard was the place where the former crown prince dealt with government affairs and met courtiers. It was open and unobstructed, and it was still majestic and majestic, which brought back many memories of Zhao Shuang's childhood.

Ruoji was also jumping happily in the grassy yard.

"Xiangxia, let's go to the bedroom in the backyard." It was dusk soon, and when it was dark, Xiangxia and the others couldn't hurry, Zhao Shuang didn't dare to delay, took three steps at a time and walked up to the Chaoshou corridor, and said to Ruoji , "Ruo Ji! Don't just play around, think about what you are here for!"

The long-haired dog withdrew its tongue, and didn't dare to jump around to catch the butterflies anymore. It ran in front of Zhao Shuang to open the way, looking around and sniffing around solemnly.

The veranda is covered with cobweb vines, Xiangxia brushed away the cobwebs with her hands as she walked.

"Wow!" Ruoji, who was running ahead, suddenly sent a signal to them. She didn't dare to bark too loudly, and only barked in a low voice, but her voice was full of excitement.

Zhao Shuang followed the sound and crossed the vines all over the veranda, and found that the door of a wing room in front was clean, with neither vines nor thick dust.

Ruo Ji was standing at the door of the wing room, shaking her head and running back and forth, signaling that there was someone she was looking for inside.

"Princess, is that there?" Xiangxia also noticed the wing.

Zhao Shuang clenched her fingers and nodded slightly.

Zhang Xiaoxue's letter said that someone delivered food to the East Palace, and it seemed that someone was being imprisoned. At this time, the most likely person was Zhao Hongyi!

Xiang Xia pushed open the door of the wing room, and a musty smell came over the room, Zhao Shuang felt sick and wanted to vomit, so she quickly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
