Chapter 277 Gathering

"The princess was called into the palace by the emperor a few days ago, saying that she was seeing a doctor for the emperor. She hasn't come out yet. The princess took Xinchen there that day, and she explained to Xinchen before going in. If she doesn't come out after two hours, she won't let her go. If there is a word of mouth, let Xinchen go to find the prince. But the slaves have not seen the prince these few days, so the servants have the courage to come to Mr. Guan, hoping that the prince can help the concubine."

After hearing Xinyue's words, Guan Furan's face was stained with sadness.Emperor Zhaowu's actions are really puzzling.If Ning Erlan was detained because he wanted to threaten Wei Lingxiao, Wei Lingxiao hadn't shown up after so many days.

As for Wei Lingxiao, what was he doing after disappearing for so many days.

"You get up first. Princess Ling and I are friends, and I won't ignore it. But it's not that easy to do this. You go back first, and don't let people find your whereabouts. Just do something in the palace Nothing happened, you know?"

"Yes, yes, this servant knows. Thank you, Mr. Guan, thank you, Mr. Guan." She didn't know how capable Guan Furan was, but if she asked Guan Furan to find Wei Lingxiao, it would be better than their ignorant maids.

After Xinyue left, Guan Furan found the dark guard he had trained. "There is no information about King Ling's whereabouts in the past few days?"

"King Ling left Bianjing a few days ago, and his subordinates couldn't trace where King Ling had gone."

He really didn't know how powerful Wei Lingxiao was.Ning Erlan has been imprisoned for so long, doesn't he know?Or did Emperor Zhaowu block the news?It's okay to say if you don't know, but if you know, why didn't he take any action at all?

"Contact the person who is placed in the palace and inquire about..."

After Guan Furan finished explaining, he came to the window, looked at the endless stream of people outside the window, and tapped the window with his finger once and for all.

Could Wei Lingxiao's disappearance be related to that incident?

After two days.Wei Lingxiao, who had disappeared for many days, finally appeared.Many people saw the god of war, King Ling, coming back from Bianjing on a horse.That speed was as violent as the wind.

He didn't go back to the palace, but went straight into the palace.

It was already late at this time, and Emperor Zhaowu was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, His Highness King Ling is asking to see you."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu paused for reviewing the memorial, and then said: "Let him in."

"Yes."

Wei Lingxiao, who was dressed in a black python robe, walked in.His hair was a little messy, obviously he was rushing back along the way.

"My son sees my father."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Father."

"How are you doing what I asked you to do?" Emperor Zhaowu raised his head, put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Wei Lingxiao and said.

"My son's people are still investigating." Wei Lingxiao said coldly with his eyes lowered.

"Didn't I tell you to catch him and come back?" Emperor Zhaowu's expression darkened, and he said dissatisfied.

"How dare you disobey my orders?"

"I don't dare. I heard that my father was unwell, and I was worried, so I rushed back without stopping." Wei Lingxiao continued without moving his face.

Emperor Zhaowu narrowed his eyebrows, and then calmed down his complexion. "You are a filial person. Since you are back, let's go back to the house and rest first."

"Er Lan has been bothering my father for a few days in the palace. My son saw that his father was fine, so my son took Er Lan back together."

"I leave her in the palace to take care of my body, don't you want to?"

"How can Erlan's medical skills be compared with the old imperial physicians in the imperial hospital? The emperor directly skipped to let the minister's wife treat him. If this news gets out, I'm afraid the imperial hospital..." Wei Lingxiao didn't finish his sentence.For a while, it was only reported that Emperor Zhaowu was unwell, but he didn't invite any imperial physician to diagnose and treat him. Instead, he went directly outside the palace to call his daughter-in-law to treat him.

That's all, and let people not leave in the palace.This... no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel a little bit off...

"My son knows that my father cherishes his reputation the most, and I'm afraid it will be bad for my father's reputation if this continues."

"Do you think that she will be good if my reputation is tarnished? At that time, all I need to say is that she came to seduce me. I am the emperor, so I can't do anything I want? How many people want to come to me? Do others still think that I forced her?"

Emperor Zhaowu's words successfully touched Wei Lingxiao's bottom line.He slowly raised his dark eyes to look at Emperor Zhaowu.That kind of look is like an invisible pressure, which makes people breathless.

Even a person like Emperor Zhaowu who has been in a high position all year round was shocked by his eyes.

"In that case, the minister will take his leave first." After a while, Wei Lingxiao withdrew the chill from his body and returned to that obedient look.

Emperor Zhaowu realized that he couldn't figure out what kind of trick Wei Lingxiao was playing. "Stand back."

"My son retire."

Wei Lingxiao walked out of the gate of the imperial study, made a strange gesture with his hands behind his back in a certain direction, and then continued to stride forward and out of the palace gate.

That night.The imperial palace in the middle of the night is like a lion crawling and sleeping.

No matter where it is, the guards are waiting in full battle, and that posture is bound to prevent a fly from flying in.

Outside the gate of the palace, a few palace people dressed as eunuchs walked to the palace from outside.The people guarding the palace gate stopped them.

"Who is it, come back from outside so late?"

"Bold, we are the ones who went out to do things for the queen, and we came back late because we were delayed on the road. We have to go in and report to the queen now. If you delay the time, if the queen blames it, you will have good fruit to eat .” The leading eunuch glanced arrogantly at the guards and raised his voice.

"Show the token." The guard didn't appreciate it, and asked the eunuch to show the token that could prove his identity.

The leading eunuch took out a token from his pocket and put it in the guard's hand.

After the guard took the token and looked at it, he looked at the people around him and finally let them in.

A group of several people walked towards Emperor Zhaowu's sleeping hall.

When they were about to reach the outside of the dormitory, several people dispersed quickly, and even the Ouchi guards wanted to say hello to that skill.

A few people were like silent nightingales sneaking into the bedroom.

Ning Erlan hadn't seen Emperor Zhaowu coming since the last time, and was thinking about whether she should think of a way to save herself, when she heard a sound coming from the window.The sound was very small, but it was heard clearly in Ning Erlan's ears.

With a change of expression, she carefully walked to the window and opened it, then stood aside.

Not long after, a black figure flashed in and hugged her tightly. "Lan'er...you have been wronged."

Ning Erlan, who was about to struggle, paused, and quickly reached out to hug him. Although she didn't see his face, she would never forget his voice.

"Ling Xiao." Her voice was choked with sobs, and all the worries and anxieties of these days and nights seemed to pour out at this moment.But now is not the time to be hypocritical, she let go of Wei Lingxiao a little bit, and seeing that he was wearing palace clothes, she knew that he had sneaked in.

Wei patted her on the back lightly, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you away right away."

"Well, wait, since the emperor thinks highly of me so much, then I can't just leave without leaving anything." She let go of Wei Lingxiao, went to the desk, took out a piece of paper, picked up a brush and brushed. Brush wrote a few words on it.Then I went to the bed and grinded out a piece of paper wrapped in something from the bottom of the bed, opened it, and there was some gray powder inside.

She carefully sprinkled the powder on the wet ink, then dried it, and there was no abnormality at all.After she was imprisoned, she slowly got these powders from these palace people little by little every day.The day before yesterday I collected enough to make what I wanted.

I originally thought that Emperor Zhaowu would use it for him next time, but now it depends on his luck whether he can use it or not.

Wei Lingxiao stood quietly watching Ning Erlan's actions all the time, and did not ask any questions.After she was done, she took out two guards' costumes and asked each of them to change into them.

"Let's go."

"kindness."

Wei Lingxiao picked up Ning Erlan and walked out of the window.All the way, guard Ling Xiao used lightness kung fu to avoid the patrols of other guards.The guards of the palace not only patrol the inside of the palace, but also patrol outside the walls of the palace, rotating every half an hour.

Wei Lingxiao took her to a rockery and stopped. Not long after, five more people dressed as guards came over.

"master."

"It's time for the rotation, let's go."

A group of seven people walked to the gate of the palace openly.The disguised Wei Lingxiao couldn't see anything wrong at all, and it was night, so he couldn't see anything unusual.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he took out a token from his body and handed it to the guard guarding the gate. After the guard saw it, he let them go out.

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, a group of people were stopped.

Their spirits tensed instantly.

Wei Lingxiao turned around and looked at the man calmly.

"The emperor said that we will conduct strict inspections in the next few days, and arrest any suspicious persons immediately, you understand?"

"kindness."

Seeing that Wei Lingxiao responded indifferently, the guard turned around and chattered. "You're new here, you really don't understand any rules..."

The moment she walked out of the palace gate, Ning Erlan took a deep breath.She was very glad that she was lucky, if she was allowed to cross over to a concubine of the emperor during time travel, it would be really unlucky.She doesn't have the good fortune to enjoy this kind of magnificence built with human blood and bones.

In a grove outside the palace gate, the carriage was ready.

Wei Lingxiao took Ning Erlan into the carriage and left quickly.

Early the next morning, Wei Lingxiao let people spread the news that Emperor Zhaowu was in good health and sent Princess Ling back to the palace.This news reached Emperor Zhaowu's ears during the early dynasty.

Today was just right, Wei Lingxiao said he was sick and did not come to the morning court.On this day, many ministers were scolded bloody by Emperor Zhaowu. It was not a big deal, but Emperor Zhaowu said it was a capital crime for exterminating the nine clans.

All the ministers in the court were in danger, and they would not have asked for leave if they had known.
