Chapter 256 The Imperial Seal The eyes in the eldest princess's house only saw that Mingyi was very peaceful after she came back from the palace. She only stayed with the eldest princess all day long, without saying anything unnecessary or doing anything unnecessary. After a cold rain, Wangjing City became even colder, and the eldest princess's residence was completely quiet. But both Mingyi and the eldest princess knew that this was just the calm before the storm. On the third day after returning from the palace, Wei Xuazhi came to the door unexpectedly. This was not at all what Mingyi expected. She originally thought that he would be very busy at this time. What could happen that could allow him to find time to see her at this time? On the way to the flower hall, Mingyi's thoughts kept turning. However, her heartstrings were quietly tense. When she arrived at the flower hall, she saw Wei Xuanzhi frowning with impatience on his face, and she felt more doubts in her heart. She knelt down and said, "How come the third young master is free today?" "Of course I have something important to ask for your help. Of course, it would be best if the eldest princess can help." Wei Xuazhi said quickly, looking really impatient. "What is the third young master talking about?" The eldest princess is actually involved? Mingyi's doubts deepened. Wei Xuanzhi frowned, raised his hand and waved, and everyone else in the hall retreated. In an instant, they were the only two people left in the entire flower hall. Wei Xuanzhi took a step forward, got closer to her, and then lowered his voice. The voice said, "Things are already in place, but at this moment, I discovered that the imperial seal in the imperial study was fake." "Fake?" Mingyi suddenly raised her eyes, filled with shock. Wei Xuanzhi hurriedly put his index finger on his lips and "shushed" her twice, "Please keep your voice down, are you afraid that others won't hear you?" Mingyi hurriedly lowered her voice obediently, but she still couldn't hide the look of shock on her face, but she finally lowered her voice before asking, "This matter...how can I help?" "I have had people interrogate me carefully. The Imperial Seal has been hidden in a secret compartment. Not to mention the imperial study room, even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. I am afraid that only that person and the servant Xu beside him know about this thing. , must have been hidden by them. But now, I have tried all the means I can, but they just refuse to say, I have no choice. Can you please ask the eldest princess to persuade me? The future throne will also be passed on to his grandson, so why would he be reluctant to part with it?" Wei Xuanzhi frowned, the impatience on his face grew even more, and he sounded benevolent.
Mingyi's heart trembled when she heard that he said that all the means she should use had been used. She pinched her hands tightly at her side and then managed to keep the expression on her face, but she pursed her lips. Jiao said, "I'm afraid I can't help you with this. It's not that the Third Young Master doesn't know the temper of the eldest princess. She looks gentle, but in fact she is arrogant and strong. There is absolutely no way that she will persuade His Majesty to take out the imperial seal. Third Young Master Let’s find another way!” Wei Xuanzhi frowned even more tightly, "Actually, it's not that I don't know that hope is slim, but I still feel lucky. Alas! In that case, you can go and run for the eldest princess. I heard that that He also likes you very much. What you said is also useful to him. If he can get this jade seal passed down from the country, I will remember your great contribution. I can also give you a few hundred yuan of real estate in the future. of." "Me?" Mingyi's eyes trembled slightly, not because she heard that she was moved by the real seal of hundreds of people, but...she raised her eyes and looked at Wei Xunzhi, did he mean to let her enter the palace to see Emperor Chongning? "Yes! Is it possible that you don't want to help either?" Wei Xuazhi looked at her with a sharp look. "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I don't have that weight in front of His Majesty when it comes to passing on the Imperial Seal. I won't be able to help Third Young Master, and I want to disappoint you. Wouldn't it be a sin?" Mingyi lowered her eyes and said, His face was full of hesitation. Wei Xuanzhi looked at her deeply, "Are you worried about this?" Mingyi frowned, "Shouldn't you be worried?" "Okay! Don't worry, as long as you go and try your best to persuade me, I won't do it if you can't." I blame you, is that okay?" Wei Xuazhi said cheerfully. Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I also want to share the worries for the Third Young Master, but this matter is not a small matter after all. I am a little worried after all, but with the Third Young Master's words, I can finally feel at ease. . I didn’t expect that the Third Young Master actually thought about his subordinates.” Mingyi smiled and said something that sounded sincere, but it made Wei Xunzhi startled, and then he snorted, "Is this considered for the sake of my subordinates? It seems...I was very inhumane in your eyes earlier!" " Mingyi smiled and did not respond. This is what you said yourself, not me! "Please clean up, let's go into the palace!" Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her. Before he came, she was tending to the flowers and plants with the eldest princess. She was wearing a semi-old dress that was easy to move around. She had not applied any makeup. There were still some mud stains on his face and hands, and he looked sloppier than the rough servants, which made Mr. Wei frown in discomfort. "Third Young Master, wait a minute." Mingyi glanced around and understood what he meant. She turned around and left the flower hall. After returning, she only told the eldest princess that she was going out for a while, but she didn't say where she was going, let alone who she was going to see. What to do, he quickly changed his clothes and went to meet up with Wei Xuanzhi. Together they left the eldest princess's mansion and headed towards the palace. The carriage still drove straight in. After entering the palace gate, it drove a long distance before stopping in front of a remote palace courtyard. From the moment she entered the palace gate, Mingyi had been looking out from behind the carriage curtain. Wei Xuanzhi was riding outside without stopping him, which made Mingyi feel even more at ease. Now, after getting off the carriage, she asked directly, " Third Young Master is really thoughtful, he actually chose such a remote place, where is this? Speaking of which, I have been to the palace several times, but it seems like I have never been here." Mingyi said as he spoke, looking around naturally. It was remote and desolate. It was indeed a deserted west road. This was a cold palace during the late emperor's time. Concubines and maids who violated taboos were often demoted here. They were alone. There are countless ghosts. It's just that Emperor Chongning's harem was already deserted, and he only fell in love with Queen Gu. Not to mention this cold palace, most of the palaces in the harem were vacant. In addition, Emperor Chongning had a modest temperament and rarely punished or confiscated the palace residents. No wonder this west road gradually became abandoned. At this time, in the cold wind, withered grass half a man's height swayed in the wind, and the faint chirping of birds set off the mottled palace walls, giving it a desolate and eerie feeling. But while Mingyi was patrolling, he could see that this place seemed deserted, but in fact it was tightly defended. Emperor Chongning was here, so it would be strange if the defense wasn't tight! Wei Xuanzhi didn't answer, and stepped forward directly, walking through a field of weeds, and then arrived at a palace courtyard surrounded by Jinwu guards. Seeing him coming, the Jinwu guards guarding the gate hurriedly opened the iron general on the palace gate and locked them in. Welcomed in. Mingyi still looked around naturally and generously. Wei Xuanzhi didn't know whether he didn't notice it at all, or he noticed it and didn't care. He didn't even give a warning look and just let Mingyi continue to look. All the way to the palace, although the Jade Floating Palace had been cleaned, it had been abandoned for many years and there were mottled marks everywhere. As soon as she arrived in front of the palace gate, Mingyi could smell a strong musty smell. , carrying a faint medicinal smell.
