Chapter 155 The Benefits of a Sour Face
Zheng Minglou had seen the world after all, and after a brief shock, his expression quickly returned to normal.
Only the Yue Ran sisters could notice his momentary loss of composure.
"I understand!"
Zheng Minglou's expression returned to its previous gloomy expression, and even became more gloomy.
There will be a night banquet in the palace tonight, and his grandmother and mother will also attend with his father.
Monsters are rampant in the palace. He must not only protect His Majesty, but also his family!
Damn it! When did there appear to be so many monsters in the capital, even the imperial palace was not spared.
The Yue Ran sisters had already left. Zheng Minglou stood at the palace gate and no longer looked towards the palace.
The young eunuch who was sweeping the floor in the palace secretly looked back at Zheng Minglou a few times, but didn't notice anything unusual in his expression, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just a moment ago, he felt a vague murderous aura and thought his identity was exposed!
The young eunuch was just rejoicing when he heard Zheng Minglou shouting coldly:
"That little eunuch took half an hour to sweep the floor. He was so lazy that he got caught right under my nose!"
"Why are you looking at me? Do you want me to sweep the floor for you?"
The young eunuch shuddered, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and quickly ran away dragging the bamboo broom.
It's so scary! If he hadn't been sent to guard the palace gate, he wouldn't want to face this gloomy human.
The man with heavy Yin energy is even heavier than Feng Xiaolou!
As the sky gradually darkened that day, the entrance to the palace was bustling with traffic.
Not only did noble ladies from royal families come one after another, but the families of officials above the fourth rank also all showed up.
Zheng Minglou, the son of Marquis Jing'an, stood tall and slender in front of the palace gate, looking coldly at everyone who got off the car and walked into the palace.
No matter how good-tempered a woman was, she would have to gasp when she met Zheng Minglou's cold eyes with a smiling face.
The dignitaries who passed through the palace gate one after another couldn't help but complain in their hearts that His Majesty had really chosen the right person to guard the palace. He was more frightening than the door god.
Zheng Minglou's face still looked displeased with everyone as always, but cold sweat had already seeped out of the palm of his hand that was tightly gripping the handle of the knife.
The number of people who just passed by him must have been at least two or three hundred, if not five hundred. Among them, how many were monsters?
The breath that Yue Si Ning had breathed on his eyes had long dissipated, and now all he saw were people dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Why haven’t the two sisters come yet?
Zheng Minglou's face became increasingly gloomy, and the people passing by him became increasingly timid.
Then a hand suddenly twisted Zheng Minglou's ear!
"You bastard! Today is His Majesty's happy day. Are you standing at the palace gate with a gloomy face trying to go to heaven?"
A refreshing voice sounded.
The expression on Zheng Minglou's face also became helpless.
"Mom, please let go. There are so many people watching. This is inappropriate!"
The beautiful woman in gorgeous brocade clothes who looked to be in her early thirties smiled and gritted her teeth:
"You know that so many people think you are not suitable, and you always have a sullen face. It has caused me to be unable to find a wife until now!"
Zheng Minglou looks 80% like the wife of Marquis Jing'an, Cen.
However, Mrs. Cen had a cheerful personality, and the son she gave birth to looked like his father, Marquis Jing'an, in every way except his face.
Zheng Minglou took his mother aside and whispered anxiously:
"Didn't my son tell you that tonight's banquet is not delicious? I asked you to excuse yourself from coming!"
Cen's eyebrows were raised, and she also whispered:
"Since it's so dangerous, can your mother just leave you here alone?"
She snorted softly:
"I want to see what kind of drama will be staged tonight!"
While the mother and son were talking, brothers Lu Changhuai and Lu Changqing also came to the palace gate with Lu Qinlin and Lu Qinlun.
There were two gorgeous carriages following behind him.
Qi lifted the curtain, glanced at the palace gate, and jumped off the carriage first.
Behind her, sisters Lu Qinya and Lu Qinxiu also showed their faces, attracting the attention of others at the palace gate.
The Lu family of Xiling City had seldom come to Beijing for more than ten years. Now that they had brought their young men to live in Beijing for a short period of time, they had already become the focus of attention of the aristocratic circles in Beijing.
The curtain of the second carriage was lifted, revealing Yue Ran and Yue Si Ning.
Zheng Minglou saw the two sisters with his sharp eyes, and his anxiety was immediately relieved.
The wife of Marquis Jing'an hurried forward to greet everyone from the Lu family.
She especially held Yue Ran's hand and patted the back of her hand:
"Good boy, it's not easy."
"That bastard of mine was born with a stinky face, don't take him to heart."
Yue Ran smiled and shook her head:
"Madam, you are joking. The young marquis is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He is a reliable person."
Upon hearing this, Lady Jing'an almost burst into tears.
It had been a long time since she heard someone praise her son. It was simply the sound of nature!
Yue Si Ning had already let go of Yue Ran's hand and jumped in front of Zheng Minglou:
"Brother, are you okay?"
Zheng Minglou looked at the huge crowds of people at the palace gate and smiled bitterly:
"Little Princess, do you have a way to make your magical power last longer so that my brothers can see it?"
There are many people attending the palace banquet tonight, and it is not enough for him to be on guard alone.
Yue Si Ning smiled, took Zheng Minglou's hand, and quietly put a small porcelain bottle in his hand, saying softly:
"Big brother, you and your brothers should put one drop in their eyes, and it will last for two hours!"
After returning to the palace, Yue Si Ning pondered for a long time and finally came up with a good idea, which was to drop a few drops of her own blood into a small bottle of well water, and then drop the well water mixed with her blood into the eyes of others.
Relying on this method, everyone in the palace, from Yue Yuan to Yue Ziyu, has discovered the monsters lurking around them.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, everyone took no action for the time being.
Yue Si Ning quietly set up several barriers in the palace to protect the relatives in the palace, and then followed Yue Ran to the banquet.
The most important thing at the moment is to find out the number of monsters lurking in the capital.
Zheng Minglou accepted the porcelain bottle calmly and watched Yue Ran and her sister enter the palace with a calm face.
During the next incense stick of time, the guards from the Central City Army who were guarding the imperial palace dripped the liquid from the porcelain bottle into their eyes while changing shifts or going to the toilet.
After opening his eyes again, his timid face suddenly turned pale, but when Zheng Minglou glared back at him, he immediately returned to normal.
Everyone tacitly returned to their duty positions, letting their underwear get soaked with cold sweat, their faces remained expressionless and all looked grim.
No wonder the boss always has a sullen face. This method works. Even when the sky is collapsing, the muscles on his face are paralyzed and he has no time to make any expression!
Holy shit! My dad’s newly appointed stepmother turned out to be a monster?
Don’t even mention it! My cousin’s new wife is also like this!
Help! The eunuch who just greeted me is also a monster.
Zheng Minglou glanced at them one by one with a cold look, his expression couldn't be any uglier.
At a glance, there were at least dozens of monsters scattered among the crowd at the palace gate.
Even the maid his mother brought with her had one!
