Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 1421 Entering the Palace at Night
"There is never a busy day for things. Let Xiaoqing and the others put them away. You are tired too. Let's go to bed early." Ting Lu put the things in my hands down and pulled me back to bed to rest.

Just as the lights were about to be turned off, Xiao Shi's voice sounded outside the door, "Master, someone is coming from the palace."

Palace?It's so late... Ting Lu and I glanced at each other, feeling suspicious in our hearts. Generally, the emperor summoned his ministers in the middle of the night because of an emergency military situation. What is the reason for summoning us at this time?

A flash of lightning flashed in my mind, and I suddenly remembered this long trip to Xinjiang. Could it be that the emperor made a decision?
My heart skipped a beat, and I was a little dazed.Has this moment finally arrived?When we opened the door, Xiao Shi bowed to us and accompanied us to the front yard.

The servants know that there will be major events in the mansion recently, and Xiao Shi is much more silent than before. On the way to the front yard, he changed his usual joking style and silently accompanied us there.

A eunuch was standing in the open space in the front yard, when he heard footsteps, he turned around, and it turned out to be Xiao Shunzi.He stepped forward to salute us in three steps at a time, "Master Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, the emperor invited you two into the palace and I have something to explain."

Upon hearing this, we all knew in our hearts that the matter was a foregone conclusion.

The carriage drove us towards the palace. Ting Lu and I had nothing to say along the way, each quietly thinking about our own concerns.

At this time, people are rarely seen walking on the streets of the capital, and occasionally a few figures are seen on the watch, or drunk and unconscious on the side of the street.The carriage ran fast, accompanied by the constant sound of wheels, and soon drove into the palace.

Xiao Shunzi walked us all the way to the gate of Qianqing Palace. There were two court ladies holding lanterns at the gate to light the way. When the carriage arrived, they immediately came to welcome us.Ting Lu helped me get off the carriage, and we walked in together.

The whole imperial city is silent in the dark night, except for a few lanterns hanging under the eaves of the palace, we can only see the road in front of us through the faint light from the lanterns in the hands of the palace maids, and in the distance we can see those people in the dark night. Silent palace lanterns scattered everywhere.

When I turned around just now, I saw a row of palace lanterns shaking in the corridor leading to the harem, as if someone was lighting up the lights to walk at night. It seems that when night falls, people in the palace can only act in this way, which is really inconvenient.
