Chapter 53: Monarchs and Ministers
Rather than sneaking into the palace, Su Xiao actually entered the palace in the light.
Now that the situation in the imperial capital is chaotic, he can of course enter and leave the palace as a member of the hunter unit, a special department under Estes.
Walking in the palace, a team of guards hurriedly ran around him from time to time, and the atmosphere in the palace was more tense than in the imperial capital.
The magnates knew what was going on, and now that the imperial capital was besieged, the palace was tantamount to the safest place.
Some well-dressed magnates appeared in the palace, and some even dragged their families with their own guards, which shows how chaotic the management of the imperial capital is.
The little emperor does not miss political affairs, the minister thinks about controlling the empire every day, and Estes only cares about where there is a war, and these three people are the power center of the empire.
Those in power at the highest level are all in this way, and the officials below are even more unbearable.
Su Xiao looked at the situation in the palace, he had already obtained the map in the palace before.
After entering the palace, there is a spacious stone road, dozens of meters wide, and on both sides of the road are some administrative side halls, which are the office places for middle-level officials to handle official business.
Walking along the wide road is the Gwangtenmon Gate, which is guarded differently from the main gate of the Imperial Palace, and is heavily guarded.
It took a long time to infiltrate the Guangtian Gate across the palace, Su Xiao directly showed the identity certificate of the hunter troops, and the guards of the Guangtian Gate let him go.
After successfully passing through the Guangtian Gate, there is still a spacious stone road, and there are also a large number of side halls on both sides.
Walking on the stone road, there are more guards passing by, and these guards are all armed.
"White Night."
Some familiar shouts came, and Su Xiao looked sideways, it was actually Will, how could he be here.
"Hmm."
Su Xiao replied, he said very little when he disguised the dark department.
"Why are you here?"
Will was in a state of limbo, and the events of the day stimulated him a lot.
"If you have nothing to do, come to the palace to be on guard, the war has begun, and here is the main target of the enemy's dark department."
Su Xiao's tone was calm, he usually patrolled around, in the name of patrolling, but in fact he observed the terrain.
"In this way, I was also sent by General Estes to maintain law and order, not to mention, I still have to go on patrol."
"Hmm."
The two of them walked sideways, not taking a few steps before Will's footsteps paused.
"By the way, let's patrol together, you have a strong sense of perception."
"No, I'm used to acting alone."
Will scratched his head, laughed when he was rejected, and walked away.
Su Xiao continued to walk forward, and a majestic palace appeared in front of him.
This is the Emperor's Palace, which is the place where the court usually goes to court, because the little emperor ignores the government, this place has been 'semi-deserted'.
The entire Imperial Palace was extremely deserted, and there were no other officials except the guards, which was supposed to be the center of power in the empire.
There were not many guards in the Imperial Palace, and Su Xiao easily passed through the Imperial Palace.
Behind the Imperial Palace is still a large road, where the guards are very dense, and further forward is the little emperor's bedroom.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and there were a large number of guards carrying torches in front of the little emperor's bedchamber.
The location of the dormitory was in the middle and rear of the palace, and Su Xiao had already gone deep into the palace.
In the darkness of the night, Su Xiao quietly came to the roof of the dormitory and began to perceive which room in the dormitory was occupied.
There are not many rooms in the dormitory, but the size of each room is not small.
Su Xiao walked lightly on the roof and began to perceive the little emperor in the dormitory.
After moving the position a few times, Su Xiao sensed the location of the little emperor in the dormitory.
Softly dismantling the glazed tiles on the roof of the dormitory, a pitch-black ceiling came into view.
Su Xiao raised his eyebrows, the architectural style of this palace was similar to that of ancient times, but the situation was a little different.
Jumping into the mezzanine of the ceiling, Su Xiao used a dagger to pry open a piece of the ceiling and look down.
"Your Highness......"
A flattering laugh came.
It's a quaint room with a teenager in the room, and a group of women!
The young man was the little emperor, and those women were the beauties brought by various concubines and ministers.
These women are not bad, otherwise they would not have been elected as the imperial concubine.
At this time, the little emperor was with a concubine, hehehe, and other women were waiting, and the scene was extremely fragrant.
Su Xiao finally knew why the little emperor looked empty, there were so many women in the room every night, and the little emperor was only fifteen years old, and he didn't **** and relied on the luxurious living conditions in the palace, if the nutrition couldn't keep up, this little thing might have returned to the west long ago.
There is a scheming minister by his side, and it is not surprising that the little emperor is like this.
Su Xiao checked to see if there were any guards in the room, it was obvious that the little emperor was hehehehe, there could be no guards in the room, not to mention that there was a group of women in the room.
The room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, which was supposed to be some kind of recreational medicine.
Su Xiao's goal is the little emperor, but there are too many women around the other party, and it is difficult to start for a while.
If you want to do something, patience is essential, Su Xiao sat above the ceiling and waited, he didn't believe that the little emperor could do this for one night.
Sure enough, at around twelve o'clock in the evening, the little emperor was lying on his back on the bed more than ten meters wide, exhausted.
The revolutionary army has fought outside the imperial capital, but the little emperor does not have the slightest sense of crisis, which is only because of the minister's words: 'General Estes will repel the thieves.' ’
These are the minister's words of consolation to the little emperor, and the little emperor has always obeyed the minister's words.
In fact, in essence, the little emperor is just a faint monarch and not a tyrant, this is a simple to sad teenager.
The door was pushed open, and the obese minister walked into the room.
"Let's get out."
The minister's voice was not high, and the women got up and dressed, not caring about being seen by the minister, and many of these women were concubines.
Su Xiao on the ceiling was amazed, after seeing the little emperor's pale green hair, he felt that the little emperor's hair color began to be extraordinarily oily, like the grassland version of emerald green.
"Your Highness, drink this."
The minister took out a test tube and fed a pale yellow liquid to the little emperor, who recovered a little after drinking the liquid.
"I'm so tired today, leave an extra bottle of secret medicine."
With a smile in his eyes, the minister nodded, and took out a pale yellow test tube from his arms and put it next to the little emperor's pillow.
"Your Highness, rest, I'll retire first."
"Hmm."
The little emperor replied weakly, and lay motionless on the bed.
The minister walked out of the dormitory with his head held high, thinking in his heart how long it would take for the little emperor to become a waste.
The minister didn't want to kill the little emperor, he just wanted the little emperor to completely indulge in wine.
The little emperor's age is too young, wine is obviously not good, and the life of fine clothes and food since childhood makes the little emperor not very greedy for appetite, so the minister chose a woman.
Now it seems that the minister has succeeded, and if it were not for his secret medicine to nourish him, the little emperor would have died on a woman long ago.
