Chapter 203: Late Night Palace Tour,

Jiang Jiu took the tea and asked with a smile: "How long have you been in the palace? You look quite old. Are you going to leave the palace soon?"

Yun Shu smiled respectfully: "My lord, I am twenty years old this year and have been in the palace for five years. If I want to leave the palace, it will take another five years."

Jiang Jiu smacked his lips and said, "It will take another five years. Sigh, life in the palace is not easy."

Yun Shu stood there very obediently. Jiang Jiu looked at her sideways, his eyes rolling with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Hey, now that you are my maid, shouldn't you listen to me?"

Yun Shu nodded even more obediently.

Jiang Jiu smiled cunningly: "Then tell me about the emperor..."

Yun Shu was shocked when he heard this and quickly knelt down.

"Princess, please forgive me. According to the rules of the palace, you cannot talk about the emperor behind his back. Otherwise, you will be sentenced to death."

Jiang Jiu winked at Taohua and said, "Go and close the door."

Taohua was also smart. Not only did she close the door, she also asked the maid who swept the yard to close the door of the palace as well.

"You guys, stand guard outside. If anyone comes, let us know."

Jiang Jiu was guarding the door very seriously and pulled Yun Shu up personally.

"Yunshu, you don't have to worry now. There are only three of us in this room. If you say anything, only the three of us will know."

"I promise I won't sell you out. You're mine. If I sell you out, it won't do me any good, right?"

Yun Shu knew that she was very lucky to be chosen as her maid.

After all, she is the future queen.

As long as she can gain her trust, she will be able to walk freely in the harem in the future.

Yun Shu only thought for a moment and then prepared to surrender.

"Well, our current emperor is really amazing. He is handsome and ruthless..."

"When your majesty was a prince, his fiefdom was in Suzhou. His first wife was also from Suzhou. I heard she was the richest woman in Jiangnan. They also had many shops in the capital. Half of the capital belonged to her."

"However, she was tricked by the former queen and the Zhou family and was killed. On the day of the explosion, I was cleaning the palace and saw a large mushroom-shaped black mist rising from the queen's palace. The whole palace was shaken by the explosion, as if a dragon was turning over."

"Because she was the woman His Majesty loved the most. After Madam Jiang died, His Majesty also fainted. I heard that she was in a coma for a long time and was almost dead. The Emperor asked Princess Zhaoyang's granddaughter, Empress Su, to congratulate him..."

"Who would have thought that His Majesty actually woke up and was in love with the Queen. It is said that it was because Prince Ling fell in love with Queen Su that His Majesty accidentally killed Prince Ling during a dispute with him. The late Emperor was also frightened and died."

After listening to this, Jiang Jiu felt that it was hard to say whether the current emperor was a good person or a bad person.

In short, many people killed their fathers and brothers for the throne.

As long as he is wholeheartedly for the people and is honest and upright, that's enough.

However, there were only two women around him, and they were both posthumously crowned as queens. It seems that he is still a man who values ​​friendship.

Well, no matter what, Jiang Jiu didn't intend to be the queen.

After listening to Yun Shu's words, she rewarded Yun Shu with a silver ingot.

"Okay, that's good. You go and have a rest. I'm going to sleep too. I'll serve you tomorrow. Don't worry, as a leader, I will never let my subordinates work overtime..."

Ah? Yun Shu didn't understand, but he understood what she meant.

Satisfied, she can go back to sleep.

As soon as Yun Shu left, Jiang Jiu immediately gave instructions to Taohua.

"Go and get the nightgown I prepared."

Taohua was shocked: "Princess, what are you going to do? If you walk around the palace at night, you will be shot as an assassin."

Jiang Jiu didn't care: "Look at this harem, it's empty, is there anyone here?"

"Never mind. Didn't you hear Yunshu say that the Queen's palace was blown up? But where did the explosives come from? Besides, explosives are available in this era. Don't you think it's strange?"

Taohua was incredulous: "So, the princess just wants to visit the Queen's palace?"

Jiang Jiu patted her shoulder and assured her, "Don't worry, I will definitely not cause any trouble in the palace. I promise, I will be back soon."

Taohua was used to being deceived by the original owner and knew that even if she didn't agree, the original owner would go anyway, knock her out, and then leave.

In order to avoid suffering, Taohua nodded bitterly.

"Princess, then you should go early and come back early, and be sure to pay attention to safety."

Jiang Jiu quickly changed into night clothes and quietly went out.

The palace was quiet at night, really quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.

There was indeed no one there. The palace was very large, and not many people lived in the harem. Everywhere I went was empty.

There are rules in the palace that prohibit people from going out casually at night.

At night, the guards in the palace would patrol constantly. Anyone caught walking in the palace in the middle of the night would be sentenced to death.

Unless there is something important, such as the master in the palace is sick.

The problem is, there are no other women in Zhao Zhuoxi's harem.

Therefore, Jiang Jiu's journey from her palace to the Queen's palace was very smooth.

The Queen's palace is being repaired, and the gate is being repaired first.

The gates were locked and the repairmen were driven out of the palace at sunset and were not allowed to stay overnight.

Jiang Jiu turned around and couldn't find a way in, so she started climbing the wall.

The walls in the palace were very high and smooth. Jiang Jiu originally thought that he would have to climb for a long time, but he didn't expect that the original owner actually had the kung fu skills.

She took a deep breath and quickly climbed up to the wall.

"Ah!" Jiang Jiu lost his balance and fell down.

Just when Jiang Jiu thought he was going to fall half to death, unexpectedly, he fell into a broad embrace.

"Thank you." Jiang Jiu rolled over and escaped from the man's arms.

Suddenly, I thought something was wrong. How could there be an outsider in the palace? It must be a thief.

Then he used a modern Taekwondo move and aimed at the man.

"Who, who are you? Do you know where this place is? How dare you break into the palace at night..."

The man just stared at her blankly without saying a word. He hid in the shadows and did not show up.

Jiang Jiu gritted his teeth and prepared to run away, but suddenly, his leg bent in pain and he knelt on one knee.

She grimaced in pain.

"Who are you? To hurt someone secretly is not what a gentleman does."

Jiang Jiu thought, that’s not right, they even stole things into the palace, how could they be gentlemen there?

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and rushed towards the shadow.

She stepped forward and punched him, but unfortunately, her fist didn't have much strength and was caught by the person.

Jiang Jiu struggled for a moment and threw another punch.

The other fist was released, and this fist was caught again.

Jiang Jiu started the third move, kicking the crotch.

The opponent seemed to know her moves and blocked her knee with a counterattack.

Jiang Jiu was so angry that he could only use his last move, a back throw.

He grabbed the other person's arm and was about to lean into his arms, but someone held his waist and pushed him hard. The other person's arm twisted hard and locked Jiang Jiu tightly in his arms...
