famous eldest daughter

Chapter 1148
Without thinking too much, Xiao Rui just told him to dispose of the body properly, and then turned around and left.

Doctor Zhou was stunned, blinking his eyes, and chased after Xiao Rui.

What happened just now? Why didn't he react? The prince's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten dead human flesh!

Xiao Rui changed his clothes and entered the palace immediately.

At this time, King Nan'an was already in the palace.

To avoid inconvenience, Xiao Rui and Dr. Zhou entered the palace after separation.

Although not all the vassal kings from all over the country arrived, the coronation ceremony was still held as scheduled.

Moreover, it was half an hour ahead of schedule.

The reason for the advance, the explanation given by the palace is that Qin Tianjian recalculated the auspicious time for the good day.

The light in the east has brightened, and the white curtains in the palace are soaked in the skylight, showing sadness and solemnity.

Because it was a national mourning, the sedans and carriages parked in rows and rows in front of the palace gate were all white. Facing the rising sun, it was a bit dazzling at first glance.

In the cold and windy morning, the guards in armor at the palace entrance all had expressions of silence and solemn expression on their faces, completely different from their usual aura.

Xiao Rui got off the sedan chair and took one look, feeling greatly moved.

These guards...except for the third one from the left named Wei Qi, who he had met before, the rest were all strangers.

In order to make this operation foolproof, he conducted many investigations on the palace guards, but he had never seen any of these people.

A strong bad premonition hit his heart, Xiao Rui raised his feet and ran straight to the palace gate.

In front of the palace gate, it had been swept clean. In the clear morning light, the straight corridor behind the palace gate immediately caught Xiao Rui's attention.

In the past, there were only chambermaids walking through the corridor from time to time. Today, it was actually filled with guards wearing armor and holding steel swords.

The moment Xiao Ruiji entered the palace, three drums suddenly beat in the corridor.

The unexpected drum beat made Xiao Rui shiver, and when he looked at the guards in the corridor, his eyes became more alert.

With his entourage, Xiao Rui tried his best to calm down and walked straight into the palace gate. When he reached the door, a guard came forward with a steel knife in his hand, saluted with his fists clasped, and said loudly: "Please show me your proof of identity."

Xiao Rui had done some research beforehand and found out that the person who spoke was named Wei Qi.

"I'm Xiao Rui, the eldest son of Nan'an Prince's Mansion, what's the matter? What proof do I need to show you?" Xiao Rui said with a haughty face and displeasure in his eyes.

Having said that, he lifted his feet and walked inward.

Wei Qi stood in front of Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui's entourage immediately scolded, "How outrageous! The prince is a member of the royal family, and King Nan'an and His Majesty are brothers. You dare to stop our prince, are you planning to rebel?"

Wei Qi looked straight at Xiao Rui, without evading his eyes, and said: "Today is the coronation ceremony of His Highness the Fourth Highness. I received news earlier that someone would take the opportunity to cause trouble at His Highness's coronation ceremony! I have been ordered to investigate every one of them. Those who enter the palace hope that the prince will be generous."

While talking, Tao Ye, the Minister of Punishment, rushed over.

When another guard came forward, he stopped Tao Ye, clasped his fists in salute, and said exactly the same words that Wei Qitong and Xiao Rui said.

Tao Ye has gone in and out of the palace countless times, and his face is proof of his identity.

Xiao Rui looked provocatively at the guard, waiting for Tao Ye to attack him.

Who is Tao Ye!

But what surprised Xiao Rui was that Tao Ye not only did not get angry, but instead hurriedly took out the token from his sleeve after the guard said something, "Jing Zhaoyin sent a prisoner this morning, saying that there was a bad guy." They stole the Chinanhou Mansion, and since it was the Chinanhou Mansion, I made inquiries, so I was delayed."

The guard examined the token, did not answer Tao Ye's explanation, and raised his hand to let it pass.

Tao Ye put away the token and ran as fast as he could, while the guards returned to their positions.

Xiao Rui...

Wei Qi's eyebrows remained unchanged, his eyes were firm, and he looked directly at Xiao Rui, "Please show me your identification."

Xiao Rui trembled at the corner of his mouth, reluctantly took out his identity token, gritted his teeth and handed it to Wei Qi.

Wei Qi took the token, but he was not as happy as the guard who looked at Tao Ye's token just now. Instead, he looked at the token inch by inch from top to bottom, back and forth, turning it over and over countless times.

Xiao Rui was so angry at his attitude that his temples jumped.

Wei Qi, however, spoke righteously and confidently, "How can you prove that this token of yours belongs to you!"

Xiao Rui had suppressed his anger and suddenly said, "Get out! It's not your turn to question my prince's token!"

If it hadn't been for what happened in Jing'an Hutong, with Xiao Rui's consistent scheming, he would never have been angry.

But now... the anger in his heart was like being poured on fire, he couldn't hold it down, and it was soaring upwards!

After Xiao Rui finished speaking, Wei Qi remained expressionless, but the guards lined up with goose wings on the left and right sides of the palace entrance unsheathed their steel swords.

The clanking sound of the neat steel sword shaking its scabbard suddenly made the atmosphere on the spot tense.

In this posture, Xiao Rui is obviously the weak one.

If he hasn't done anything yet, if he is caught on the spot by the guards in front of the palace because of a token...

Even though he has countless masters, secret guards, and private soldiers, those people are of no use at this time!

When he thought again, his father had already entered the palace, and he still knew nothing about what happened in the palace. No matter how angry he was, Xiao Rui had to lower his head to restrain himself, lowered his posture, and said: "What do you need?" Proof, I’ll provide it to you.”

Wei Qileng said solemnly: "Since you said that you are the prince of Nan'an Prince's Palace, then please ask King Nan'an who has already entered the palace to send someone to come out to fetch you. Please also ask the prince to wait patiently, and I will let people pass the news. "

Since he had bowed his head, Xiao Rui had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Wei Qi immediately ordered to go down.

Time passed, and it was enough time for a stick of incense. When Xiao Rui was about to shiver from the cold wind at the palace gate, someone finally led one of the followers of King Nan'an out.

When the attendant saw Xiao Rui, he immediately bowed to the ground and said, "I have kept you waiting for a long time."

After saying that, he turned to Wei Qi and said, "This is our prince, please let him go."

Wei Qi said nothing and raised his hand to let him go.

Xiao Rui's face was gloomy and dark, as if he had been rolled over by coal. He bit the roots and without saying a word, he raised his feet and walked straight into the palace. The violent aura emanating from his body made the attendant tremble involuntarily and raised his eyes to Wei Qi looked over.

what happened?
Wei Qiyi shrugged, how could I know!
Na Sui never expected that Wei Qi would actually respond to him. His eyelids twitched immediately, his lips trembled, and he hurriedly picked up his heels to follow Xiao Rui.

The many palaces and buildings in the palace are all wrapped in white curtains, giving a solemn look.

Along the way, there were servants guiding the way, passing through several palaces and arriving at the mourning hall.

When they passed, the gate of the mourning hall was closed tightly, with red lacquer and copper nails on the main gate, and a ferocious beast ring on the gate, which was hideous and terrifying.
