Chapter 114: Breaking into the Palace, Mysterious Woman
"Let's leave Shengjing today!"
Early in the morning, Zhao Mu called Su Quan and others and gave them instructions.
"Before I leave, I have to tell Kangxi something! You guys just stay here and don't cause me any more trouble!"
Su Quan and others nodded silently.
My goodness, with that woman around, who among them dares to do anything weird?
After Zhao Mu gave instructions to a few people, he entered the palace.
Of course, his visit to Kangxi to bid farewell was only one aspect of the matter.
On the other hand, he was also looking for evidence.
A piece of evidence that can prove Chen Jialuo's identity.
He didn't want to hand over the Tiandihui to that guy. Not to mention Chen Jialuo's capitulationist character, according to his naive thinking, if he was really allowed to take charge of the Tiandihui, the Tiandihui would be destroyed sooner or later.
Moreover, although the Tiandihui is just an organization formed by a group of martial artists in Liaodong, these people have considerable power in Liaodong. If they can control it in their hands, it will be a trump card to check and balance the Ming Dynasty in the future.
After arriving at the palace, Zhao Mu quickly met Kangxi. It was obvious that Kangxi was in a bad mood today.
Those people last night actually let Chen Jinnan escape, which made him very angry!
However, seeing Zhao Mu made him feel much better.
The two chatted for a long time, and Zhao Mu immediately mentioned leaving.
Kangxi did not try to keep him. He knew very well that Zhao Mu left this time in order to make contact and jointly attack the Ming Dynasty. For such an important event, the sooner the better.
For this purpose, Kangxi set up a banquet and entertained Zhao Mu well.
After the banquet, Zhao Mu suggested taking a stroll in the Imperial Garden.
Upon hearing this, Kangxi immediately called for the eunuch to accompany him.
Now, he seemed to have regarded Zhao Mu as an ally and was completely unprepared for him.
Moreover, he was still confident in the safety of the imperial city!
The Imperial Garden was exceptionally quiet. Apart from the emperor, almost no outsiders came here.
Of course, Zhao Mu chose to stay in order to take the opportunity to find evidence that could prove Chen Jialuo's identity.
After walking around the Imperial Garden, Zhao Mu suggested leaving.
The young eunuch behind him immediately stepped forward to lead the way. Zhao Mu seized the opportunity, knocked the young eunuch unconscious and hid him.
Then he turned around and left the place, heading straight for the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
This is the imperial court. The court has already been adjourned and there is no one in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. This is a good time to take action.
Although the palace was heavily guarded, it was nothing to Zhao Mu. As long as he was a little careful, he would not be discovered.
Zhao Mu was searching here, but suddenly he noticed some movement nearby, so he quickly hid.
Then, he saw a row of bookshelves in the distance open, and a maid dressed in palace dress came out from inside.
The girl looked to be in her early twenties, and judging by her clothes, she should be of high status, but her movements seemed a bit vulgar.
He looked so cautious, just like a thief.
However, when he saw the secret room, Zhao Mu reacted immediately.
Chen Jialuo's identity is probably top secret to Kangxi. He must have kept it properly. Perhaps this thing is in that secret room.
Zhao Mu seized the opportunity, and when the girl closed the door, he grabbed her and pulled her into the secret room.
"who is it?"
The little girl screamed and raised her hand to hit him, but was caught by Zhao Mu.
"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you!"
Zhao Mu threatened, but the woman seemed not afraid at all.
"This is the imperial palace. Trespassing here is a capital crime. If I give a shout, the guards outside will chop you into pulp in a matter of minutes!"
"Try and see who comes faster, them or you who dies faster?"
The woman was slightly stunned when she heard this.
"I won't try!"
Zhao Mu glanced at the woman and found that she had no cultivation at all, so he let her go and turned around to search. The woman looked at Zhao Mu and then took the initiative to move closer.
"You are not from the palace? Who are you? Are you from outside?"
The woman didn't seem to be afraid at all, instead she started chatting with Zhao Mu.
"What are you looking for? I'll help you find it! I'm familiar with this place!"
Zhao Mu ignored her. Chen Jialuo's identity was top secret. Given Kangxi's character, he would never let other people know, and this woman probably wouldn't know either.
He was about to continue searching when he suddenly felt his lower body tighten.
This woman actually reached out and grabbed him...
Zhao Mu immediately took a step back and shouted angrily!
"What are you doing? Do you want to die?"
But at this moment, the woman opened her mouth wide and looked excited.
"So, this is what men are like?"
She came closer as if she had discovered a new world.
"Hey, you're not from the palace, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it, as long as you let me see it after it's done!"
"Are you sick?" Zhao Mu looked helpless and pushed the woman away, but she came closer again.
"Hey, do you know who I am? If you don't agree, I will tell my brother that you bullied me. I'm telling you, I've memorized your appearance! Then I'll let my brother kill all your clans!!"
The woman threatened, and her little hand unconsciously reached up again.
Fortunately, Zhao Mu reacted quickly and dodged it.
Seeing this, the woman was about to scream, and Zhao Mu quickly covered her mouth.
This time, Zhao Mu was afraid of her.
Zhao Mu had probably guessed the identity of this woman in his heart. This girl should be Princess Jianning.
He couldn't just kill Jianning directly, because if he did, Kangxi would certainly conduct a thorough investigation, which would disrupt his plans.
However, if I let this girl go, she might really betray me.
After much thought, Zhao Mu could only sacrifice himself to stabilize her for the time being.
"Don't scream. Can't I show you?"
Zhao Mu was speechless. This girl was too curious.
However, having been in the palace for a long time, Zhao Mu could understand it.
The same thing happened when he was studying in the palace, except that he was accompanied by palace maids.
But Jianning was different. In the entire palace, there was no other man except the emperor.
Hearing what Zhao Mu said, Jianning immediately laughed, then stretched out her little hand and grabbed it.
Although Zhao Mu tried hard to hold back, he was a man after all.
"Wow, so men can be like this!"
Jianning's face was full of curiosity, and his bright big eyes were filled with thirst for knowledge.
At this moment, Zhao Mu suddenly noticed someone outside, so he grabbed Jianning and hid in a cabinet nearby.
The next second, the door of the secret room was opened.
Kangxi walked in, sat at the desk, took out an envelope and read it carefully.
Through the gap in the cabinet, Zhao Mu caught a glimpse of the envelope and saw that it was signed by Chen Jialuo.
Just as Zhao Mu was holding his breath and concentrating, he suddenly felt Jianning approaching.
She stared at Zhao Mu with a sly smile on her face, and seemed to realize that Zhao Mu didn't dare to move, so she became more and more bold.
