805 Michelle Chen(1/2)
Chen Keyan's "Princess Wu's Mansion" is located within the imperial city and outside the palace city.
In fact, according to Nanchen regulations, all princes and princesses who reach adulthood are required to move out of the imperial city and open a mansion in the outer city.
For example, King Li and King Tian, their residences are in the outer city.
Although Chen Keyan is an adult, because she is very popular with Emperor Chen, in order to facilitate her entry into the palace to be a saint, Emperor Chen additionally allowed her to open a mansion in the imperial city...
In other words, Su Xian walked up the long stone stairs and pushed open a stone door. What he saw was a dazzling light.
Everyone waved their sleeves to cover themselves up.
After his eyes got used to it, Su Xian took a closer look. It turned out to be a garden outside. As far as he could see, he could see pavilions, pavilions, green trees, and pleasant scenery.
"We are in a rockery. Don't worry. Young Master, Doctor Li, and everyone else, just follow me."
As the “landlord” here, Chen Keyan took the initiative to lead the way.
Everyone followed, and one by one they came out of the exit disguised as a rockery.
"Why is there no one in this huge garden?" Guan Ping looked around with a wary expression.
"We must be careful. It is said that King Li's people have surrounded the imperial city. We don't know what the situation is yet." Su Xian reminded.
"..."
Under the leadership of Chen Keyan, everyone cautiously left the garden.
If King Li really breaks through the imperial city, then the princess's mansion will not be spared. They must be careful, otherwise, this will become an "unsolicited attack".
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the garden and onto a road made of bluestone, they met a group of soldiers wearing strong armor!
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they were stunned for a moment.
Oops!
Too bad luck...
There were more than thirty soldiers in that team. When they first saw Su Xian and his entourage, they were stunned, but they immediately clasped their fists and saluted Chen Keyan, saying:
"The general will wait to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"..."
When Su Xian and others saw this, they were secretly relieved. It turned out that these were the personal guards of the princess's palace... Based on this, it can be judged that the imperial city has not been breached yet.
That's good!
This group of princess palace guards was led by a school captain. The school captain was very excited, as if he had the backbone, and said happily:
"Your Highness, where have you been these days? Fortunately, Your Highness is finally back..."
"What's going on? Please tell me in detail?" Chen Keyan ordered.
"yes."
"..."
According to the captain, Emperor Chen had not shown up since Chen Keyan left dozens of days ago, and all the civil and military officials refused to see him.
As time passed, rumors suddenly spread in the city.
Some people said that Emperor Chen was critically ill, while others said that Emperor Chen had already passed away, and the crime of Emperor Chen's death was forcibly placed on Chen Keyan's head.
Yesterday, King Li suddenly attacked from all sides, controlled the entire gate of Jiangning City, and sent troops to surround the imperial city.
Its purpose is self-evident.
There was a moment of panic in the city. People closed their homes and did not dare to cry at night, for fear of being involved in this whirlpool of power and profit...
Just as he was talking, Chen Keyan and his party came to the living room of the mansion.
All the important figures in the princess mansion were there, such as the chief historian, counselors, commanders of personal guards, etc. Chen Keyan introduced them to Su Xian and the others one by one.
As for how these cronies of the Princess Palace were surprised by Chen Keyan's sudden appearance, how they suspected the identity of Su Xian and others, how Chen Keyan explained it, etc., we will not mention it for now.
The most urgent task is to sneak into Emperor Chen's chamber immediately.
Only by understanding what is going on with Emperor Chen can we make subsequent plans.
After Chen Keyan told her cronies not to reveal her return to Jiangning City, she led Su Xian and his entourage to her study.
The entrance to the underground passage leading to Emperor Chen's bedroom is in this study.
Before entering the cave, Su Xian looked at Chen Keyan and asked teasingly:
"This passage should be safe and unobstructed, right?"
"Young master, you can rest assured, there will be absolutely no problems on this road!" Chen Keyan was full of confidence.
"Well, seeing as it's getting dark, we'd better set off quickly."
"Everyone, slow down..."
"..."
In this way, Su Xian, Li Qingniu, Zhou Wei, Yang Zhilan, Guan Ping, and dozens of other extraordinary masters entered the cave one by one.
As expected, this underground passage was unobstructed, and within the time of two cups of tea, they had reached the ground floor of Emperor Chen's chamber.
"We're finally here. We'll know what's going on with Emperor Chen right away!" Su Xian clapped his hands.
"Without further delay, let's go up now." Li Qingniu urged.
There was a stone staircase in front of everyone, which was very steep. At the top of the staircase, there was a machine that opened the mechanism.
"Wait a minute!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Keyan suddenly stood in front of everyone. Her expression was slightly unnatural, as if she had remembered something, she was squirming, hesitant, and very entangled.
"Miss Chen, why is this happening?" Su Xian wondered. Seeing that there was only the last stretch of the road left, why did she go crazy?
"Ms. Chen, do you have any scruples?" Li Qingniu frowned secretly. This was Emperor Chen's bedroom after all. He thought to himself, Chen Keyan might be a coward, right?
Zhou Wei, Guan Ping and others were also very surprised. They all looked at her to see what she had to say.
Chen Keyan struggled for a while, and finally walked to Su Xian and whispered: "Young master once made a promise to the slave family not to provoke Yaoyao."
"..."
It turned out that Chen Keyan suddenly remembered that she had just learned from a close confidant that after the Jiangning City Incident, King Tian and her sister Chen Keyao entered the palace together.
If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Keyao will definitely be waiting by Emperor Chen's side.
They suddenly appeared in Emperor Chen's bedroom, and there was no chance that they would meet Chen Keyao face to face...
That doesn't matter about the others, the only thing she worries about is Su Xian. What if Su Xian does something bad and abducts her sister?
Her younger sister Chen Keyao is so innocent, so cute and beautiful, and has just begun to fall in love. She can't stand the sweet words of men.
"Who is Yaoyao?"
Su Xian looked confused and didn't understand for a moment.
Chen Keyan looked at him angrily and thought to herself: "Young master is so bad. He said before, 'Princess Nan Chenyue is mine,' and now he pretends not to know who Yaoyao is."
"Oh, it turns out she is Miss Chen's sister, Princess Chen Keyao of the Yue Kingdom. I remembered."
Su Xian suddenly realized.
Then he grinned, so Chen Keyan was worried about this?
As a sister, she was really dedicated to her duties. To be honest, Su Xian was quite touched.
"Don't worry. Although I promised you not to provoke Yaoyao after I was drunk, a gentleman's words are hard to follow, and what has been said must be kept." Su Xian promised with a smile.
"Young Master, don't call her 'Yao Yao'." Chen Keyan felt a little relieved, but Su Xian's smile always gave her a sense of nonsense.
But right now she has no other option.
They must immediately climb the stairs and appear in Emperor Chen's chamber without any further delay.
If Chen Keyao happens to be waiting by Emperor Chen's side and cannot avoid Su Xian, she can only be more careful and try to avoid too much contact between the two...
"let's go!"
Chen Keyan finally turned around and climbed up the stone stairs first, followed by others.
Walking to the end of the stairs, Chen Keyan personally turned on the power amplifier.
Suddenly, a huge bluestone above everyone's heads made a roaring sound. As the stone powder fell, the huge stone slowly moved away, and bright light was projected down.
arrive!
They finally arrived at Emperor Chen's bedroom!
…
…
Time goes back to an hour ago.
Emperor Chen's bedroom.
In the huge palace, Emperor Chen was lying on top of a dragon in his clothes. He looked much thinner than he had been a few decades ago. He was haggard, his eyes were closed, and he was still in a coma.
