The Ming Dynasty's henchmen, working from nine to five

Chapter 85 Please, Your Majesty, make the decision.

"Where is he being held?"

The old patriarch of the Golden Clan confirmed it several times, but he was still skeptical.

However, seeing that Princess Changning looked like she was about to die, it didn't want to ask any more questions. It decided to sneak over and take a look to see what was going on!

"Right here at the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters!"

"Leave Shiwangfu Street, head east, and pass through Huanghuafang..."

"7

Princess Jing'an gave a detailed description of the location of the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters.

However, after hearing this, the Golden Clan Ancestor hunched his back, his cat-like face serious, and said, "This place is beyond my reach!"

"Why is that?" Princess Jing'an asked in surprise.

With his four plump paws folded together, the Golden Clan Ancestor solemnly declared, "As a mere demon, I am destined to be rejected by the fate of the Great Ming Dynasty."

"Since the Embroidered Uniform Guard is the emperor's personal guard, they must be blessed by the nation's fortune. I couldn't even get close, let alone infiltrate them!"

"It's strange," the Golden Clan Ancestor tilted his head slightly, squinting as he pondered, "I secretly visited your city more than ten years ago, but I only lasted for a quarter of an hour before I had to leave quickly."

"But now that I have been in the Jade Capital Imperial City for so long, I do not feel any discomfort at all."

"The national destiny here is much stronger; there should be a greater sense of oppression..."

""

The old patriarch of the Golden Clan went on and on, but Princess Changning had no interest in listening. Her eyes, which seemed to hold stars, were filled with disappointment and anxiety.

"If we can't get in, can we get help from outside?" Princess Jing'an asked.

"Have Pei Ci sneak in quietly; you're in charge of cleaning up the mess!"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Clan Ancestor's hairy face showed an embarrassed expression: "That guy surnamed Pei was beaten up by me, he probably won't be able to infiltrate!"

"Huh?" Princess Jing'an blinked in confusion.

The Golden Clan Ancestor wagged his tail and said seriously, "This matter is not my fault!"

"He ran up to me and shouted that he had broken through to the next level, mastered his divine skills, and was invincible in Jade Capital City. He wanted to teach me a lesson and exorcise some inner demons!"

"The sun was shining brightly then, and I was sleeping soundly. I didn't want to pay him any attention, but he kept buzzing in my ear like a fly!"

"I had no choice but to beat him up!"

Princess Changning frowned and asked, "How badly is he injured? Can giving him some medicinal herbs cure him?"

Now her heart is completely tied to Shen Lang. The thought of Shen Lang suffering in the Imperial Guard prison makes her heart clench, and tears well up in her eyes.

If Pei Ci's injuries weren't serious, she would immediately go and buy all the spiritual herbs in Yujing City and feed them to him until he recovered. She didn't know any experts, and the only one who could help Shen Lang now was this Pei Gongfeng.

Unfortunately, upon hearing this, the Golden Clan Ancestor arrogantly raised his head: "This venerable one is the Great Demon of Enlightenment!"

"Even using only a third of his strength, it was still far beyond what that Pei fellow could withstand."

"Having taken a blow from my claw, he definitely won't be able to get out of bed for at least ten days to half a month!"

Princess Changning, exasperated, grabbed its cheek and pinched it hard, saying, "You naughty cat!"

The Golden Clan Ancestor was taken aback, a hint of grievance flashing in his amber eyes: "Changning, you actually hit me! I'm not happy anymore, I'm not going to be friends with you anymore!"

However, Princess Changning was too preoccupied to care about its thoughts at that moment.

Pei Ci was injured, the Golden Clan Ancestor could not get close, and the two great masters in the Prince's Mansion had both perished and were of no use.

She was momentarily dazed, then suddenly gritted her teeth, turned to Princess Jing'an, and said, "Mother, let's go to His Majesty for justice!"

Princess Jing'an was taken aback, her eyebrows furrowed, and after a long period of contemplation, she sighed and said, "That's the only way."

After saying that, she turned and called out, "Li Zhong!"

"Go and fetch my account books. I wish to enter the palace to meet the Emperor!"

Before long, a magnificent carriage left the Prince's residence and headed towards the Imperial Palace.

Inside the carriage, Princess Changning stared blankly out the window, her once rosy and full lips now completely devoid of color.

When Shen Lang sent Da Hu to deliver a message yesterday, she had a vague sense of foreboding. She went to find Shen Lang to ask him for clarification.

But even after searching everywhere, I still couldn't find him.

Hearing such terrible news suddenly, she felt incredibly guilty. She shouldn't have given up so easily yesterday. If she had known in advance that Shen Lang was going to do something so dangerous, she would never have let him leave even for a moment.

She would gladly perform as an octopus in public again.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

"His Majesty has taken so much money from me over the years, he can't just ignore me. He will definitely stand up for me!"

'

Princess Jing'an dressed up in her finest attire, including her official robes, and sat upright with her back straight, clutching a wooden box in her hand. She looked extremely nervous.

To be honest, she was quite afraid of Emperor Jiajing. She always felt that he was unpredictable and like a venomous snake, cold and icy, radiating a dangerous aura at all times.

But right now, Shen Lang is suffering in the imperial prison, and she doesn't know how much longer he can endure it. She really has no other choice. Even if she is afraid, she has to bite the bullet and go for it!

Half an hour later.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the palace."

Princess Jing'an took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and, holding Princess Changning's hand, slowly stepped down from the carriage.

"Your Highness, what's wrong...?"

'

A chief eunuch hurried over upon hearing the news, taking small, quick steps.

"This concubine has something to discuss with His Majesty!"

Without wasting a word, Princess Jing'an coldly handed over a silver note worth a thousand taels!

The eunuch quickly bent down, discreetly checking his surroundings. Seeing no one was watching, he swiftly stuffed the silver notes into his robes and whispered, "You've come at a bad time. His Majesty is currently in seclusion..."

Before he could finish speaking, Princess Jing'an threw out another five thousand taels of silver.

The eunuch's hand trembled, and his waist almost bent at a ninety-degree angle.

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth. Six thousand taels of silver was enough to cover his monthly salary for a lifetime. He could do this job!

He carefully put away the silver notes and said in a very low voice, "This servant will quietly lead you inside!"

"But if anyone asks, just say you came to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager, but changed your mind at the last minute to see His Majesty instead. Please don't reveal my identity..."

""

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Princess Jing'an raised her snow-white chin and snorted coldly, "Lead the way!"

"No, no, Your Highness, please! Princess, please!"

The eunuch quickly bowed, gestured with his right hand, and led the two into the inner palace. After several twists and turns, passing through pavilions and artificial hills, they arrived at the Qingxin Hall.

"His Majesty is inside. If you have something to say, please speak outside. These imperial guards only listen to His Majesty. If you barge in, they might actually draw their swords."

The eunuch gave a few more instructions, clutched the silver notes in his pocket, and walked away quickly!
