"My husband, please come to the palace to find me after dark."

Li Xiuzhu pretended to be confused and asked, "After dark? Why choose after dark? It won't be easy for me to enter the palace after dark, right?"

Hearing this, Li Liuli grabbed Li Xiuzhu's arm and said coquettishly, "Come on, I'll give you a surprise."

"As for the palace gate, don't I know my husband's ability even if others don't?"

"Come on, come on!"

Ahem, you can’t be too pretentious at this time, you have to stay calm.

Li Xiuzhu smiled dotingly and nodded.

"Okay, I don't know what's going on, but since my little baby said so, my husband must come."

"Then I'll go first, while it's still light and I can be recognized."

"Uh-huh!"

Li Xiuzhu went home, got a set of clothes, changed his appearance, and then walked towards the palace in a swagger.

At this time, he was wearing eunuch's clothes, had a handsome face and slightly weak manners.

Anyone who sees him like this will say he is handsome, but it is also more in line with the identity of a eunuch.

When approaching the palace, Li Xiuzhu was stopped.

"Eunuch, which palace are you from? I remember no eunuch went out today."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuzhu took out a gold medal and said in a sharp voice, "How dare you... We have been on the road for more than half a month following His Majesty's order to inspect the progress of the Grand Canal."

The guard was startled, and his heart tightened when he saw the gold medal.

But they immediately realized something and said, "Sir, do you know that His Majesty has passed away? It's already the second day."

Li Xiuzhu was startled, the gold medal in his hand fell out of his hand at the right moment, and he subconsciously asked: "Your Majesty passed away? How could it be?"

Li Xiuzhu's performance immediately convinced the two men. One of them picked up the gold medal, handed it back to Li Xiuzhu with both hands, and said, "Eunuch, now that the prince has succeeded to the throne, don't say the wrong thing when you go back."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu came back to his senses. While taking the gold medal, he said gratefully, "Thank you for your reminder. Here are five taels of silver. Take them and have a drink."

As Li Xiuzhu said this, he hurried into the palace and trotted towards the Qiantai Palace. However, when he reached a blind spot where the two guards could not see him, Li Xiuzhu turned and headed towards the Pepper Room in the Weiyang Palace.

At this time, the two people turned around and were still talking about Li Xiuzhu.

"Brother Sun, the late emperor has passed away. We don't need to be so polite to him, right?"

The guard called Brother Sun rolled his eyes and began to educate him: "What do you know, kid? That guy is holding a gold medal, how can he be an ordinary person?"

"Besides, he went to investigate the progress of the Grand Canal. Even if he didn't report to the previous emperor, he would definitely report to the new emperor."

"So the probability of him catching the new emperor's eye is no less than 30%."

"It's just a few words of advice, but you don't take it seriously. You'll die without even knowing how you died."

Hearing this, the educated guard scratched his head in embarrassment.

I never thought that such a small attitude could be educated. It is true that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Even the distance to the palace gate is not safe.

Li Xiuzhu ignored the two of them and arrived outside the Pepper House.

"Stop, who is it?"

It was just getting dark and it was lunchtime, so it wasn't inconvenient at all.

But what needs to be checked still needs to be checked.

"I am the eunuch beside His Majesty. His Majesty has something for me to tell Your Majesty."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu took out the gold medal again, showed it to the eunuch chief, then pushed open the palace door and went in.

At this time, there were some meals placed in front of Ruan Wenjun. Knowing that Li Xiuzhu was coming, she did not pick up her chopsticks, but took a simple bath while Li Xiuzhu was out of the palace.

The tiredness after the bath gave her a kind of lazy beauty as if she was still sleepy. At this moment, she was sitting at the table, with one hand resting on her chin, as if she was neither asleep nor awake.

Hearing the sound, she was startled and opened her eyes.

When she saw Li Xiuzhu, a young eunuch she didn't recognize, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

Upon hearing this, Kankan burst out laughing. She knew who Li Xiuzhu was the moment he came in.

It’s not because they have the same martial arts skills, but because she knows that her master can change his appearance, and she can judge who the person is from some of Li Xiuzhu’s small movements, details, and breath.

Hearing the Queen talking about her own master like this, I really felt like I was living in Bengbu.

Seeing that Kankan was laughing and didn't seem to be trying to stop her, he thought about what Li Xiuzhu said he was coming.

Suddenly, the queen, who had been cold and frowning just now, realized something.

With a little surprise and hesitation, he asked: "You are...?"

She didn't dare to say the name, for fear that the person was not Li Xiuzhu and people would notice their relationship.

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this, and did not change his voice to scare Ruan Wenjun. He said, "I said I would come to see you, and now I am here."

"…You mean you don't welcome me? Then I'll leave?"

Ruan Wenjun came back to his senses and became anxious, and quickly stood up.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

But this time it was too strong, and coupled with being so tired today and not replenishing any nutrition, I suddenly felt dizzy.

But before Ruan Wenjun could fall, Li Xiuzhu appeared beside her and hugged her.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"No, don't go." Ruan Wenjun said pitifully to Li Xiuzhu, ignoring the dizziness that had just passed.

Li Xiuzhu scratched Ruan Wenjun's nose and said with a smile, "I'm just kidding. Since I came to see you specially, how could I leave so easily?"

Ruan Wenjun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at Li Xiuzhu's current appearance, she still felt extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

"Xiu...Xiuzhu, can you change back to your original appearance? I am not comfortable with you like this."

Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

I ignored it just now and didn't realize that I was still wearing a strange face.

"Xianxian, go get a basin of hot water for the master."

Upon hearing this, Kanan pouted.

A bad master, when he first meets someone, instead of saying he appreciates the person, he just orders the person around.

But thinking about the master's current condition, I decided to give up.

With a light tap of her feet, Kankan appeared at the door of the Pepper Room, and pushed the door open the next second.

Not long after, Kanan came back again.

There was always someone boiling hot water in the palace, so the heating was very fast.

"Master, the hot water is here."

After Li Xiuzhu added some special makeup remover to the hot water and revealed her true appearance, the two became close.

As Ruan Wenjun helped Li Xiuzhu sit down at the main seat, she said softly, "You came here and there, and you still have to put on makeup. You must not have had dinner yet."

"Come, eat a few bites first to fill your stomach."

As she spoke, Ruan Wenjun picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and gave it to Li Xiuzhu.

She didn't put it in the bowl in front of Li Xiuzhu, but fed it directly to Li Xiuzhu's mouth, looking at him with eyes full of expectation.

Li Xiuzhu naturally would not offend the beauty, so he opened his mouth and ate it.

But before he could swallow it, a pair of chopsticks was extended to him from the side.

There is beef that he likes on the chopsticks.

"Master, this braised beef tastes good, you should try it..."

My eyes hurt a little. I'll take a nap and update the second chapter when I wake up.
