Seventh Master, Madam didn't go back to the mansion today.

There is a lot of affection in the small courtyard, and the dark clouds outside the courtyard block out the sun.

The Empress Dowager's power is growing day by day, and she is about to monopolize the power. Even the Emperor was put under "house arrest" by the Empress Dowager because of her advice to improve the law.

At this time, the queen mother announced that Prince Rong's family went to the palace to give a banquet.

The family sat in the carriage entering the palace in silence, and the gloomy atmosphere enveloped everyone. When the gate of Nuo Da's palace arrived, everyone had to get out of the car and walk.

Song Yitao, wearing the servant's clothes, jumped out of the carriage, saw this resplendent palace, and couldn't help sighing: "Wow!! This is even more splendid than in the movies and TV dramas!"

Qi Yutao hastily pulled her back and gave her a wink to tell her not to talk too much.

"My servant greets Prince Rong. Your lord, please, the Queen Mother hosted a banquet at the Water Moon Terrace."

"Please lead the way, father-in-law."

The father-in-law leading the way was actually Dechun, the eunuch who was in charge of the empress dowager. Although he was a slave, Prince Rong did not dare to neglect at all, and followed behind in a well-behaved manner.

The palace road is twists and turns, and the high palace walls are like ribbons that bind people.Xiao Qiye walked halfway, slowed down silently, and whispered: "Hey, you can't go in for a while, remember to wait for me outside, don't run around."

Song Yitao nodded in response obediently.

"The veteran and his whole family pay respects to the Queen Mother." As soon as Prince Rong entered the water platform, he brought his whole family to kowtow to the Queen Mother.

"Prince Rong doesn't need to be too polite, please sit down."

Prince Rong raised his head, and saw only the queen mother sitting on top of the long dining table, and a row of maidservants standing beside her, but the emperor and concubines were nowhere to be seen.He panicked even more, the queen mother refused to let the emperor attend even a meal, which shows that the emperor is in a difficult situation now.

Song Yitao, who was outside, couldn't stand up against the sun, she looked around and decided to slip away, looking for a place where there were no one to escape the heat.

At the banquet, few people dared to move their chopsticks, sixth master Qi Yuxun swallowed his saliva as he looked at the table full of delicacies from mountains and seas.

"Why are you all staring blankly? Move your chopsticks! We are all our own people." Xihe and the Empress Dowager ordered "kindly".

The maid served a mouthful of food, and Prince Rong tremblingly picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.

"Prince Rong, Aijia remembers that this assorted meatball dish is your favorite, Dechun, serve it to Prince Rong."

"Thank you Queen Mother." Prince Rong got up and knelt down to thank.

The queen mother smiled and asked Prince Rong not to be too polite.Just as Prince Rong's butt touched the stool, the Queen Mother spoke again: "Are you wondering why the emperor didn't attend this banquet today?"

A ball that Prince Rong had just picked up rolled to the ground, and immediately got up and knelt on the ground in a panic, and everyone also got up and knelt on the ground.

Qi Yutao saw something was wrong, and thought: This is not a family banquet, this is simply a grand banquet, if we say a wrong word, the emperor will be in danger.

"Recently, the emperor's thoughts are all about how to reform the law. He was so bewitched by those reformers that he even gave up the family law of his ancestors in order to imitate the Western countries!!"

"The Ai family punished him to spend a few days in Yuntai. The Ai family also thought of the Daning Kingdom. Prince Rong, tell me, the Ai family did nothing wrong, right?"

"The Empress Dowager...has worked hard for the Daning Kingdom. The people all over the world are grateful and grateful. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it." In the June weather, Prince Rong only felt chills.

"I think back then, my son passed away overnight, the throne was vacant, and the first emperor had no heirs, so I proposed to let your son be the emperor. Brothers died and younger brothers passed on. More than 30 years have passed in a flash."

"How time flies, you see, even your little son has grown up so much.

"Eh? How old is Yutao? Quickly raise your head and let me have a look." Xihe Empress Dowager suddenly looked at Xiao Qiye who was sitting at the back, with a kind smile on her face.

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, Yu Tao will be 16 this year."

"You're already 16? You'll be 17 next year. It's time to point out a marriage for him. I think Jiang, the eldest daughter of General Guangzhou, is very good. I've been paying attention to Yutao." Xihe said the queen mother .

Qi Yutao suddenly panicked when he heard this, and he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to politely refuse: "Queen Mother! Please forgive me! I am too young to stand alone. I am afraid it will delay Mr. Jiang's daughter."

"Yutao!! What are you talking about!" Prince Rong scolded in a low voice.

There was no sound from the banquet, only the breathing of the people in the hall.Prince Rong's cold sweat dripped on the cold floor tiles.

At this time, Song Yitao had already sneaked to a place where there was no guard on duty. She hid behind a pillar and pointed the way ahead with a finger: "Should I go to the left or the right? How do I go to the bathroom?" I can’t find my way back! This palace is too big!!”

She took two steps back, muttering "Shuiyuetai, Shuiyuetai...", when she suddenly felt something soft touch her buttocks, she turned around in shock, and just about to call out, she was caught A pretty woman who was also disguised as a man and dressed in eunuch clothes covered her mouth.

"Hush!!", "There are guards behind here! You can't find your way, right? I'll take you out!"

"You... who are you?"

The woman in front of her just smiled, helped her little eunuch's hat, did not reply, and dragged her away.

The two ran for a certain distance, and the woman took her to a place she had never been to. It was very remote, and there was an independent palace in the middle of a small lake.

"Can you bring me a letter to the palace in the center of the lake? Just tell the emperor that I am fine, so that he doesn't have to worry. The person he asked me to protect has also been sent out of Shengjing safely. I will find a way to rescue him." He came out."

"The emperor? You said the emperor is there!!" Song Yitao pointed to the palace and exclaimed.

"Shh! Keep your voice down. When you go back later, go straight north and then turn left and see a small pavilion in front of the water moon platform. I can't stay longer, so I can only ask you to bring the letter." The woman looked at it sincerely. Song Yitao made her a little embarrassed to refuse.

The woman in front of her took a deep look at her, then turned and ran away.Song Yitao looked at the letter in his hand and immediately reacted: "Hey! What's your name! I can tell the emperor that you miss him."

"My name is Zhen Yun."

The woman finally looked at the palace in the center of the lake, her eyes were full of nostalgia, she gave Song Yitao a faint smile, and ran away.

Song Yitao looked at the guard in the center of the lake, his eyes rolled around, and he got behind the rockery.After a while, bursts of smoke came from behind the rockery.

"It's out of the water!!"

The guards ran out one after another to fight the fire, Song Yitao slipped in in disorder.

The delicately carved pavilions were closed layer by layer, Song Yitao could only climb in through the window, and ran to the second floor, after confirming that no one was following her, she quietly pushed open the door and went in, then quickly closed it, Qi Yuxiao was reading a book, and was startled .

"You... who are you?!" Qi Yuxiao asked.

"Your Majesty, you don't remember me. You saw me at the Prince Rong's birthday banquet!! I even performed on stage!! It's the one dancing." Song Yitao gestured vigorously.

The emperor recalled it for a while, and suddenly remembered: "You are the one...see no evil?"

"Your Majesty, you are so pitiful that you were locked up here... Oh yes, this is a letter from a young lady named Zhenyun who asked me to hand it to you. She said that someone has escorted you out of Shengjing. Let you not worry."

"Concubine Zhen? Have you seen her?" The emperor stood up excitedly, and grabbed the letter to read.

Song Yitao was very rude, so she sat down on the chair next to her and drank her tea. When she saw some snacks on the table, she picked them up and took a sip.

"She is in such a difficult situation, she still remembers me..." The emperor sighed, looking at the map of mountains and rivers on the wall, without saying a word.

"Hey, Your Majesty, is that your partner? She looks very cute."

Seeing the emperor's silence, Song Yitaocha felt that he was a bit unruly, this is ancient times after all.He patted the residue on his hands and stood up: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm from modern times, and I'm not used to the rules here."

"It doesn't matter, my emperor is just a false name, just a puppet of the Empress Dowager." Qi Yuxiao sighed.

"Your Majesty, don't be emo, you don't know that in the future, people will love you, Emperor Qizhen! They say you dare to reform! Dare to innovate. No emperor dares to do this. He would rather give up his throne and replace Taiping. Who else??"

"The future?" Qi Yuxiao asked.

"Yeah, in the future, there will be no emperor, and everyone will have their own citizenship! Everyone can take a plane to travel to various places, and can hold a mobile phone to chat with friends far away, regardless of whether they are men or women. Go to school to receive education, in the future, men and women will be equal! In the future, there will be a peaceful world without landlords and peasants, without hierarchy, without masters and slaves!"

"Peaceful world? What you said is like heaven and earth!" Although Qi Yuxiao didn't understand what he heard, the words "peaceful world" tightly grabbed his heart.

"It's a pity that you were born in troubled times, so you can't enjoy these things. By the way, how old are you this year?"

"I'm thirty-six."

"36? Oh!! You died at the age of 38, you still have two years to live!!" Song Yitao covered her mouth in surprise.

Qi Yuxiao froze for a moment: "Two years? I only have two years left to live?"

"In history, you died of illness. Later, experts detected arsenic in your body. You must have been poisoned to death! Your Majesty!! I will take you away! I will take you back to modern times, and you can still live for a long, long time!" Song Yitao excitedly stepped forward to pull him away.

"No. I want to stay here. I am the emperor of Daning Kingdom. I will be the soul of Daning Kingdom in life and death. I am in this era and have the mission of this era. As long as I have one day to live, I will serve the people of the world. Seek good fortune, and strive to change the law and strive for strength!"

Song Yitao didn't expect that the man in front of him would be able to face life and death without any timidity, full of satisfaction as the common people of the world, she couldn't help but shed a tear: "But you are going to die..."
