Chapter 155: Adventure in the Imperial Palace
Boom!

When the thunder from the sky fell and destroyed Cuiwei Palace, several figures arrived outside Cuiwei Palace in a moment. Looking at the ruins at the scene, each of them had a solemn expression.

The head of the inner guard, Zhuang Tianqi, looked grim. "What's going on with this lightning?"

Opposite him was a hunchbacked old eunuch who could not even stand straight, as if half of his body was buried in the ground. He coughed and said in a shrill voice, "It doesn't look like it was formed naturally."

This one is Ah Fu, the chief eunuch in the palace. He has no rank, but is the most trusted eunuch of several generations of emperors. He is now responsible for the emperor’s personal protection.

The last one is a young female official. She looks like a lady from a noble family, but she is one of the most powerful women in the world, known as the Female Prime Minister Zhu Yue.

The Queen Mother was in power, and the Prime Minister Lin Chen was in control of the court.

There is a female prime minister named Zhu Yue, who is nominally in charge of palace affairs. In fact, she is both the empress dowager's secretary and the head of the Supervisory Office. It can be said that she has great power in the capital.

Even Lin Chen had to give her some ground.

Zhu Yue said thoughtfully, "This doesn't seem to be man-made, otherwise, the Taia Sword would not have no reaction."

The other two people naturally understood this principle, so they found it incredible. It was not the work of an external enemy, nor did it seem to be formed naturally. So where did this lightning come from?

At this time, the surrounding guards rushed over.

Zhu Yue asked, "What happened here today?"

"The emperor has placed a woman under house arrest here..." a guard leader stepped forward to report.

"Mingguogong's daughter?"

Zhu Yue frowned slightly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes. How could she hide the emperor's thoughts from her? Wanting to use this method to control Duke Ming, isn't it too much of an underestimation of this old fox?
She said, "Go in and see if the person is still alive."

The guards acted upon the order and soon carried several people out. Fortunately, the daughter of Duke Ming was not dead, but just unconscious.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhuang Tianqi and the old eunuch Afu, Zhu Yue could not do much and let the palace maids carry the person away. She just looked at Gu Yiting who was being carried away with a hint of concern in her eyes.

The three of them entered Cuiwei Palace together.

The old eunuch Ah Fu twitched his nose a few times and said, "It's a bit like the "Heavenly Strike Divine Art" of the Xiang family in the previous dynasty."

Zhu Yue immediately remembered the rumor about Cuiwei Palace, "Is this a trick left behind by the Concubine Jin of Emperor Taizu?"

"I don't know about this. How can mortals like us guess the methods of the Emperor Shang?"

There is indeed some truth to this.

Rumors about Cuiwei Palace have been circulating for hundreds of years. Although there have been so many masters in the royal families of all dynasties, no one has been able to find out the reason.

This shows the methods of Concubine Jin.

The three of them checked it out, but couldn't figure out what it was, so they left.

……

However, Gu Mingchuan was carried to the imperial physician, who diagnosed him as being fine, but the two female officials were struck to death by lightning on the spot.

Everyone says that she is blessed with a good fortune.

At this moment, in Gu Mingchuan's consciousness space, a token covered with lightning was in a stalemate with the Fire Dragon Seal.

This token came along with the lightning and went straight into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"You are not of the Xiang family bloodline!"

As these words echoed in Gu Mingchuan's mind, the token was about to fly away.

However, the Fire Dragon Seal that originally occupied his sea of ​​consciousness was not happy. This is a place where you can come and go as you please?

This is its territory.

The Fire Dragon Seal immediately transformed into a fire dragon and wrapped around the token, as if trying to refine it.

This token was no ordinary object either. Countless electric currents burst out from it, blocking the flames of the Fire Dragon Seal.

Gu Mingchuan could only be a spectator and could not get involved at all.

He had roughly figured it out.

This token was summoned by him using the "Heavenly Punishment Curse". It should be something left behind by the princess of the previous dynasty, who was also a beloved concubine of Emperor Taizu of Wei.

It was originally prepared for the Xiang family bloodline, so when they found out that he was not of the Xiang family bloodline, they prepared to run away.

Gu Mingchuan looked at them for a while, and seeing that it was difficult to determine the winner between the two artifacts, he returned to his body.

Then, he felt that he was being stared at by three people with eyes that could see through him, and he almost took out the Shenxiao Sword.

Fortunately, he did not sense any murderous intent from these three people.

He also realized that he had not been exposed.

So, he continued to pretend to be faint.

Facts have proved that after reaching the Tribulation Breaking Realm and the Dharma Image Realm, his camouflage ability was extremely strong, and these three top powers did not discover his flaws.

Once he is carried to the Imperial Medical Clinic, there will be nothing to worry about.

……

While pretending to be faint, Gu Mingchuan was looking for an opportunity to slip away. As long as he returned to Gong Miaomiao's Weirui Palace, he would have a chance to escape.

Suddenly, his heart tightened and he felt a dangerous person approaching.

"Master Zhu."

Several respectful voices came from outside the door.

Then, a woman's gentle voice said, "I have something to ask Miss Gu San."

The door opened and a man approached.

Gu Mingchuan recognized the voice, it was from one of the three strong men just now. He thought, Lord Zhu, could it be that one?

Then, he felt a real gaze falling on him.

After several seconds, a cold hand stroked his face, and the gentle voice said in a tone full of care, "Tingting, you have suffered." These words were almost whispered into his ear, making his ears itchy.

Gu Mingchuan got goose bumps all over his body.

what's the situation?
Gu Yiting never said that she was very familiar with this Zhu Yue?

This Lady Zhu should be one of the most powerful women in the palace, the Queen Mother’s most capable assistant, known as the Female Prime Minister Zhu Yue.

Gu Mingchuan had heard a lot of rumors about her before.

She was born into a family of officials, but her family fell into poverty, her parents died early, and she lived with her uncle and aunt since childhood.

It is said that she and Lin Chen were originally a couple, but her uncle and aunt looked down on Lin Chen, a poor scholar, and broke up the couple, sending her to the palace when she was a teenager.

She had no background and had a hard time in the palace. She had to do all the dirty and hard work, and was eventually banished to the cold palace. There was no way she would ever get ahead.

As a result, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and she met the empress dowager, who was only a concubine at the time, in the cold palace.

Later, this concubine in the cold palace, by chance, became the empress dowager. She also turned her life around and became one of the most powerful women in the Wei Dynasty step by step.

Later, she learned that Lin Chen had married someone else. She turned love into hatred, and after she came to power, she opposed him in every way.

The story about her is very legendary.

Just as Gu Mingchuan was thinking, his body suddenly felt lighter and he was picked up and walked directly outside.

"No, what does she want to do?"

He felt a little uneasy.

Should he wake up now, or continue to pretend to be unconscious?
Given Zhu Yue's status, naturally no one dared to stop her, and allowed her to take the third daughter of Duke Ming away.

……

After a while, Gu Mingchuan was taken to a room and put on the bed.

Then, a hot face pressed against hers, and Zhu Yue's clinging voice came, "Tingting, are you blaming me for not coming to see you for so long? You've obviously woken up, but you don't want to open your eyes to look at me——"

Gu Mingchuan felt his belt being untied and he felt numb.

How to do?
He had lived for two lifetimes, more than thirty years, and this was the first time he felt so panicked.

……

…………

I do not know how long it has been.

Gu Mingchuan felt a hand pinching his throat, and Zhu Yue's cold voice reached his ears, "How dare you disguise yourself as Tingting and break into the palace! Who are you?"

"How about waiting until I put on my clothes?"

He had returned to his original appearance by now, and his voice had returned to being that of a man, with a frivolous tone.

At this time, the two were still in the most intimate state.

Zhu Yue said coldly, "Do you believe I will kill you now?"

She exerted force with her fingers, as if she wanted to break his neck.

Gu Mingchuan was not worried. Halfway through the process, he couldn't help it. How could a grown man be ridden by a woman all the time? Of course he had to take the initiative back.

At that time, Zhu Yue was obviously very shocked and his body was frozen.

Since she didn't do anything, she probably wouldn't do anything now. She was just angry and embarrassed because she couldn't hold it in her face.

Gu Mingchuan said, "You can't blame me for this. You were the one who took the initiative first."

"you--"

Just then, a noisy voice came from the outer door, "Sister Yue, is Tingting here with you?"

"Princess, Master Zhu has gone to bed. You should come back tomorrow."

……

Gu Mingchuan sent a voice message, "Master Zhu, if you don't want the princess to discover our affair, you should let me go first."

"If you dare to reveal even a word of what happened tonight, I will tear you into pieces." Zhu Yue said hatefully, finally letting go of her hand and starting to put on her clothes.

Gu Mingchuan also began to pinch his face, changing back into Gu Yiting's appearance, and then began to put on his clothes.

……

"Miaomiao."

Zhu Yue pushed open the door, waved away the maid, and said, "Tingting has gone to bed, keep your voice down."

"I'll go see her."

Gong Miaomiao was worried and walked into the room. Seeing her friend sleeping soundly, she felt relieved and said self-blamingly, "It's all my fault. I brought the books from the study room and almost got her into trouble. Fortunately, she is fine, otherwise, I--"

Zhu Yue comforted her, "It's none of your business, and she won't blame you."

Gong Miaomiao noticed that something was wrong with her, "Sister Yue, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine. Otherwise, you can go back first. No one can hurt him while I'm here."

"No, I have to stay here and send her back in person tomorrow. I have already made an agreement with my brother the emperor, and he will not pursue Tingting's guilt any further."

Gu Mingchuan, who was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, gave Gong Miaomiao a thumbs up in his heart. She was really loyal.

……

After dawn, Gong Miaomiao personally escorted Gu Mingchuan out of the palace.

When he left the palace, he recalled what had happened that day and night and felt it was quite bizarre.
