After leaving the store, Xiao Ning began to ask around for news about the imperial palace, then walked in the direction indicated by a passerby, and soon arrived at the gate of the imperial city.
The palace of Da Chu was built in a very grand manner, with red walls and yellow tiles, magnificent and splendid, carved beams and painted buildings, and magnificent. The palace complex was scattered in an orderly manner, giving people a solemn and solemn feeling. Xiao Ning stood in the distance, looking at the palace from afar, and secretly sighed in his heart: "This is the palace of Da Chu!"
Xiao Ning walked around the palace, carefully observing the surrounding environment and architectural layout. He found that there were many guards patrolling around the palace, and it was not easy to sneak in. However, he did not give up and continued to look for a breakthrough.
After a whole day of exploration, Xiao Ning had almost figured out the external situation of the palace. Now all that was left was to find the location of the emperor's bedroom, and the mission would be accomplished.
As night fell, the lights came on, and the noise of the city gradually faded away. Xiao Ning changed into a black nightgown, put on Ning Que's evil ghost mask, hid his hair in a hat, and looked mysterious. He left the inn carefully, his figure blending into the darkness like a ghost. He sneaked along the quiet streets, nimbly avoiding patrolling teams of soldiers.
Arriving at the foot of the city wall, Xiao Ning stopped, his eyes sharp as a hawk, and he looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, he moved quickly, using his hands and feet to nimbly climb up the city wall.
After entering the palace, Xiao Ning relied on the guidance of the system to cleverly avoid the sight of the guards and ran straight to a palace. When he saw the plaque hanging above the palace, he felt a surge of joy in his heart - the three characters "Ganqing Palace" were clearly written on it.
He took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and carefully sneaked into the palace. The palace was quiet, with only a faint candlelight flickering. Xiao Ning quietly shuttled between the rooms, looking around for his target. Finally, he stopped in front of a spacious room.
Xiao Ning gently pushed open the door and walked into the room. He looked around and found that the room was beautifully decorated and full of royal majesty.
Then, he called out the system interface and clicked the sign-in button. Instantly, a clear and pleasant female voice sounded in his mind: "Congratulations to the owner for signing in successfully. The reward has been issued, please check it!"
Seeing that the task was completed, Xiao Ning did not stay any longer and planned to make plans after leaving. Just as he was about to open the door and leave quietly, he heard footsteps at the door. He was startled and quickly jumped up and hid under the eaves.
A woman in a dragon robe walked slowly into the room, surrounded by a group of palace maids. Xiao Ning looked up and saw that the woman looked to be in her early twenties, with a pretty face and beautiful appearance. Xiao Ning secretly guessed that this must be the new emperor of Da Chu, who was so young. He originally thought that she would be an older woman.
Xiang Yuxin came to the bedside and suddenly felt a strange breath, and she couldn't help feeling uneasy. She frowned slightly and turned to ask the palace maid behind her: "Has anyone come to my room today?"
The maids all shook their heads, saying that they had not seen anyone passing by the door all day. Xiang Yuxin became even more suspicious and began to observe everything in the room carefully. Xiao Ning secretly thought that it was not good, and he immediately restrained his breath, tensed his whole body, and was ready to deal with any possible situation at any time.
At this moment, a eunuch's loud shout was suddenly heard outside.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has something to report!"
Xiang Yuxin heard the news and left the room in a hurry, followed by the maid next to her. Xiao Ning was relieved by the sudden change, and he jumped down from the beam and quickly left the bedroom.
Xiang Yuxin walked into a spacious and bright study room, and saw Nangong Luoyu sitting there quietly, flipping through an ancient book with a focused look. When he heard footsteps, he looked up, saw Xiang Yuxin coming in, stood up, and saluted Nangong Luoyu with a smile.
Xiang Yuxin waved away the people behind him, then quickly walked to Nangong Luoyu, excitedly took his hand, and asked expectantly: "Master, what happened? Why did you call me here so late?"
Nangong Luoyu looked at Xiang Yuxin tenderly and said softly, "I just got the news that in a few days, the Princess of Dagan will come to Dachu in person to discuss important matters with us."
Xiang Yuxin immediately became serious after hearing this. He frowned and thought for a moment, then asked doubtfully: "Does this mean that they want to show goodwill to our Great Chu?"
Nangong Luoyu nodded, indicating that she agreed with Xiang Yuxin's guess, but at the same time said cautiously: "It is very likely, but I dare not jump to conclusions. I called you here tonight specifically to tell you about this in advance. After all, Da Chu and Dagan signed an armistice agreement more than ten years ago, and now that you have just ascended the throne, they may be worried that we will break our promise. This visit of Her Royal Highness the Princess is most likely to solve this problem." After speaking, Nangong Luoyu gently stroked Xiang Yuxin's face, his eyes full of care and worry.
"Don't worry, with me here, they won't make excessive demands. You just need to act like an emperor."
Xiang Yuxin nodded firmly in agreement, and then started chatting with him. After a while, Dongfang Luoyu said it was getting late, and the two separated.
On the other side, after Xiao Ning left the emperor's bedroom, he felt a tightness in his heart when passing by a palace. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something. Looking at the palace beside him, his heart was filled with waves.
"What's going on? Why do I feel like something is attracting me?"
He was feeling uneasy, and his feet could not help but walk towards the palace. When he arrived in the courtyard, Xiao Ning looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual in the layout of the hall. Just as he was thinking, that strange feeling came to his mind again, and came to the bedroom next to him.
