Wait a minute, heroine

On the other side, in Yongle Palace, the lights gradually went out.

A handful of incense was burning in the huge dormitory, and between the dragon bed hung with golden curtains, two tall and plump women lay side by side.

Dongfang Li is as popular as the boys. Even when he goes to bed, he is not as graceful as his little daughter's. He is lying flat on the pillow with his hands folded on his waist. His silver bellyband embroidered with a python is high. He closes his eyes and concentrates like a queen. momentum.

The empress beside her was completely the opposite.

The empress was a bit cynical on weekdays, and her behavior was free and easy, especially when going to bed. She was wearing a red gauze skirt, which was hazy and translucent. It cannot be said that the hair was not visible under the gauze, but it was true that there was no hair.

As for the posture, it was also very different from Prince Jing next to her. She was lying on her side on the pillow, with her plump waist and hip curves outlined behind the curtain. She looked like a concubine who was sleeping with the emperor and who brought disaster to the country.

Feeling tired after playing for a long time, the empress had closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep.

The same was true for Dongfang Liren, but in the dead of night, she opened one eye, glanced at her sister beside her, and then quietly got up.

Hmm~

The empress turned over lazily and murmured: What are you going to do?

Dongfang Liren froze. He couldn't say that he went to the palace guards to learn sword skills in the middle of the night. He just responded softly:

If you can't sleep, go out for a walk. There will be a court meeting tomorrow, sister, have a good rest.

Um……

After the empress responded softly, there was no more sound.

Dongfang Liren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gently picked up his robe, went to the screen and put it on, and then quickly walked out of the dormitory.

After Dongfang Liren left, the empress opened her eyes, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes that said, The queen cannot stay.

Judging from Li Ren's appearance, he was obviously moved after being saved by the hero of Night Terror Hall.

The dignified prince, you are already such an adult, you have a man you like, and you still hide it from me. Is it because you are afraid that I will steal your love with a knife, or you are embarrassed to say it?

The empress thought for a moment and felt that it was both. She couldn't help shaking her head secretly and stood up in a translucent gauze red skirt:

Someone is coming.

His Majesty.

The maid serving in the side hall quickly came in and bowed to wait for instructions.

Change, I'll go out for a walk.

yes.

…

——

It was already time to turn off the lights and go to bed. The lights in the palace were gradually extinguished. In the beautiful garden, people and birds were walking aimlessly on the footpath.

Being on duty all night and unable to sleep, Niaoniao felt a little sleepy and lay on Ye Jingtang's shoulder, Chi Chi Chi~ he muttered, probably talking about Sister Gui Hua Fu just now.

Ye Jingtang didn't take the incident of bumping into the Queen Mother to heart, and kept thinking about how to obtain the Singing Dragon Picture. With his thoughts whirling, he unknowingly walked around the Imperial Garden.

Ye Jingtang checked the time and decided where to go to the corner tower to meet Shang Jianli and others to report that they were safe, so he took Niaoniao back to the northeast side of the imperial city.

But just after passing through a few palaces, I suddenly heard a faint melody coming from between the palaces:

Wuwu~wuwuwu~~

The voice was distant and slow, sounding like the sound of a flute, full of the carefree atmosphere of the world.

Ye Jingtang froze. As an expert, he naturally wanted to go over and check out something strange. He jumped up to the roof and led the birds in silently, and soon came to the lotus pond of a palace.

Next to the lotus pond is a verandah for palace guests to walk through. The pond reflects the moonlight and the stars, and there is also a viewing pavilion built inside.

When Ye Jingtang came nearby, he saw a palace lantern hanging in the pavilion and two palace ladies standing outside waiting.

In the stone pavilion, a tall beauty dressed in a silver fat-headed dragon python robe holds a sapphire flute and plays music while looking at the moonlight of the lotus pond. Her silhouette looks elegant and elegant, and her heroic demeanor carries a completely different sense of femininity.

grumble?

The bird on the shoulder's eyes lit up, and it quickly flapped its small wings and flew across the pond, landed on the beauty, and opened its beak to beg for food.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang also fell into the corridor, looked at each other across the lake, and bowed:

His Royal Highness Prince Jing.

Dongfang Liren put down the jade flute and handed it to the palace maid behind:

You guys go down first.

yes.

The palace maid bowed and left the pavilion.

Ye Jingtang walked out of the stone pavilion without squinting and looked at the sky:

It's already dark, Your Highness, why don't you take a rest?

Blood Bodhi hasn't been brought to justice yet. I'm worried that something will go wrong in the imperial city, so I can't sleep.

Dongfang Liren looked noble, walked out of the stone pavilion slowly, walked by the pool with Ye Jingtang, and asked:

Having been patrolling for a long time, did you find anything strange?

Security in the imperial city is tight and there is no trouble.

There is no foolproof place in the world. Just because you and I think nothing will happen, things will pop up. We still have to be alert and pay attention.

Dongfang Liren gave a few casual instructions and gestured to the palace where he was:

Do you know where this place is?

Ye Jingtang looked around the palace and shook his head: The first time I entered the palace, I could only distinguish the north, south, east, and west. The rest seemed almost the same to me. Where is this?

Gyeongbokgung Palace, this king and the current emperor lived here when they were children. After the emperor inherited the throne, they moved to the palace.

Dongfang Liren took Ye Jingtang to the buildings next to the lotus pond and gestured to the pavilion on the right side of the main hall:

On the left is my king's boudoir, and on the right is the Holy One's.

Ye Jingtang looked at the large courtyard. It could be seen that there were many flowers planted in it, and there were also wooden figures, weapon racks and other objects. It was similar to the place where martial boys lived. He asked curiously:

Does the current sage also practice martial arts?

Children of the royal family must practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and the same applies to the Holy One. However, the Holy One is not very interested in martial arts and prefers reading.

Ye Jingtang thought about it. Someone who could be an emperor would never have time to devote himself to martial arts.

I come from a martial arts background, and I really don't know much about things in the capital... nor do I know much about martial arts. In the past, in Honghe Town, Liangzhou, I couldn't find a way to practice martial arts. Only when I arrived in the capital did I realize how powerful the masters in the world are. I used to often I heard Mr. Shu said that there are countless masters in the palace and they also have many secrets hidden away. Is this true?

Dongfang Liren pulled out the Lilong Huanshou Sword from the waist of Ye Jingtang and slowly practiced the Tianhe Sword in the yard:

All the martial arts secrets have been moved to Mingyu Pavilion. There are many profound ones, but it is never the secrets and moves that reach the top, but the 'people'. If you want to be the best in the world, you still have to rely on your own understanding.

Really? Ye Jingtang asked, I heard Mr. Shu said that masters from all dynasties seem to be competing for a picture...

What are you talking about? That thing is not a martial arts secret book, but a method for seeking immortality.

Xunxian asked? Ye Jingtang looked slightly confused and looked at the sky:

Is there really an immortal in this world?

I, too, am an ordinary man. How would I know whether there are immortals in the world? However, the Singing Dragon Picture is indeed not a mortal thing. There is a 'Jade Bone Qilin Picture' in the palace. If you learn it, you can get a Qilin Bone. After practicing for more than ten years, I can also It’s considered to have made some achievements…”

When Dongfang Liren said this, he became interested and raised his white fist:

You try it by touching it.

Ye Jingtang really wanted to see how powerful he was after practicing Minglongtu, so he raised his hand and made a fist, and fist bumped with Dongfang Liren.

Pa~

The queen's hand feels smooth and cool, like carefully carved nephrite. If you hold it in your hand, the feeling...

...

Dongfang Liren felt that his fist was only lightly touched, his heroic cheeks turned slightly red, and he said displeasedly:

Use your strength! Can't you eat without food? You don't have to worry about my identity as the king.

oh.

Ye Jingtang also felt that something was wrong, and immediately became serious and was shocked all over.

Bang——

There was a sudden explosion in the courtyard under the moon!
