Xia Daohua sat in the same carriage with Lao Wei and Xiao Douzi. The other carriage was empty. It was used to carry rewards when they came, and it was empty when they left.
The four guards were still riding on their horses, escorting the two carriages.
Lao Wei's carriage was not luxurious in appearance, and Xia Daohua did not know the rules, so she was a little surprised at how comfortable it was to sit in. It seemed that there was something special inside this carriage.
Old Wei made tea himself and invited Xia Daohua to drink it. The small stove for boiling tea was firmly fixed on the floor of the carriage. The aroma of tea curled up, and the light smoke and mist lingered, making Old Wei's face and Xiao Douzi's face a little blurry.
Xia Daohua reached her hand into her sleeve, but actually reached into the space supermarket and took out a bottle of refreshing mint ointment - if there was any problem in the carriage, as long as she could stay awake, she could return to the space supermarket at any time.
But the mint ointment was ready but not used.
As Lao Wei began to speak, the momentary blurriness quickly faded away, as if he had just been dazzled.
Old Wei might really be old, and he had received confirmation from the emperor that he would be able to leave the palace to retire, so the expression on his face when he looked at Xia Daohua was as loving as if he was looking at his own granddaughter.
Xia Daohua couldn't help but shiver.
However, if you think about it carefully, if Old Wei really left the palace to retire, he would most likely go to Wei Shiqi, right?
Since Wei Shiqi is Lihua's husband, he is also her brother-in-law. Since they are such real relatives, it is reasonable for Old Wei to look at her in this way.
Only after she relaxed did Xia Daohua feel in the mood to listen to Lao Wei's ramblings.
After all, he was an old man. He was old and had suffered so much torture before that he almost lost his life. Fortunately, the new emperor (the regent, his uncle Gu Mingzhen) was a man who sympathized with the elderly and the weak, and graciously allowed him to leave the palace to retire.
After experiencing a lot of ups and downs in his life and mood, Old Wei is now just like an ordinary old man. He talks a lot, and every smile on his face reveals kindness and peace.
Xiao Douzi sat obediently in the back, listening to Lao Wei's mumbling, but he didn't say a word.
After entering the palace, Xia Daohua discovered that great changes had taken place in the palace.
At least it was very different from the night she discovered the trouble-making brothers.
Many doors on the palace wall were tightly sealed, and some were even bricked shut. The top of the wall was raised several feet and inlaid with many sharp broken tiles and metal spikes that sparkled in the sun.
The number of patrolling golden-armored warriors almost doubled.
The inspection before entering the palace was also very detailed.
Not only did they check whether anyone had any hidden items on them, they also searched the bottoms of the two carriages from top to bottom, inside and out.
Looking at this posture of facing a formidable enemy, Xia Daohua couldn't help laughing even though she knew the situation might be serious.
Was Gu Mingzhen frightened by his ability to come and go freely in the palace at night? Or was he prepared to rely on the palace to resist until the last moment if the capital fell?
Walking on the long corridor in the palace, everyone kept their heads down, so Xia Daohua naturally had to follow the local customs, but she secretly took out a miniature camera from the space supermarket.
As they were walking in unison, they were suddenly blocked by a group of people - they didn't know how Xiaodouzi led them, but they actually met King Xin on a narrow road.
Prince Xin was about to leave the palace - he was about to go to his fiefdom, and this trip was to bid farewell to the new emperor - for some reason, he ended up on the same road as Xia Daohua and the others.
Logically speaking, neither Xiaodouzi nor Lao Wei, nor the palace servant who led Prince Xin, should have made such a low-level mistake.
Xia Daohua's eyes gently swept across the faces of several people at the scene, and finally stopped on Prince Xin's face: "Take care."
Prince Xin bowed his hands, his voice slightly vicissitudes, but also faintly revealed a sense of relief: "Take care."
