Duguqing's abnormality did not attract Chu Qingyan's attention, she turned to talk about entering the palace, which aroused great interest in Duguqing, and she had to follow her no matter what.
It happened that Yi Lingfeng was passing by with someone, and Duguqing immediately stepped forward to pester him to enter the palace with Chu Qingyan. Yi Lingfeng had a headache. Did these two think they were going to the palace for fun
But Yi Lingfeng thought about it, although Duguqing was scolding, but doing things was quite reassuring, so he agreed.
Chu Qingyan looked at Duguqing who was cheering at people's backs after Yi Lingfeng left, and muttered in her heart, compared to the past, she felt that Yi Lingfeng seemed to be a lot more tolerant towards Duguqing, why did the two suddenly get close a lot
The day of entering the palace is coming.
Chu Qingyan and Duguqing changed the clothes of the Yi family's maids and followed the Yi family's housekeeper to prepare to go out.
But Father Chu, Cheng Yanluo and others who had heard the wind gathered around them one after another.
"Caicai, this is the tickle powder that Dad has grinded in the past two days. Take it with you to protect yourself! If the bad guy comes, you can sprinkle him all over! Make sure he scratches his head and bleeds!" Father Chu took the medicine in his hand. The bag was stuffed into the hands of his daughter.
"Dad, have you tried this medicine?" Chu Qingyan looked at the medicine bag lying in her hand, and there seemed to be some sand leaking from the corner. She seriously suspected that the bag contained a handful of sand.
Father Chu nodded proudly when he heard the words, "Yes, Xiao Hei was spilled by me, and now I don't know where it went. Dad guessed that it must be tickling."
Xiao Hei is the watchdog of the Yi family. I heard that he has been tossed around by his father for the past two days and has not dared to come out to meet people.
Chu Qingyan was ashamed, and casually hid the medicine bag in his sleeve.
At this time, Cheng Yanluo also came up, she handed a bottle to Chu Qingyan, "This is Mizhuxiang, as long as this thing falls on people, it will pass out, if you are in danger, you can take it Self-defense."
Chu Qingyan gratefully took the medicine bottle, and at this time Tu Ling also came forward, what he gave was not medicine, but a small bamboo pipe, "If there is danger, light the fireworks, and the subordinates will rush to save you."
Chu Qingyan was holding something in one hand, and suddenly had a feeling that she did not enter the palace to hear news, but to die in the palace. She couldn't help but think of a poem, Feng Xiaoxiao and Yi Shuihan, once the strong man is gone, he will never return!
"Okay, I will return safely." Chu Qingyan felt that she was unable to explain.
"Xiao Qingyan, you are so happy, so many people care about you." Duguqing smiled enviously.
Chu Qingyan rolled her eyes at her, "Don't you have a copy of the bottle of medicine just now?"
"Isn't that thanks to you?" Duguqing smiled, "Okay, I hope these things don't come in handy, otherwise we'll be caught as assassins!"
Chu Qingyan thinks that too, it is better to be cautious in words and deeds.
When Chu Qingyan and Duguqing left the yard, Yi Lingfeng stood in the corridor and glanced at the people beside him, "Since you are worried, why don't you send her off?"
"It has been decided to let her fly freely, so you don't have to." The young eagle learns to fly. The eagle will not accompany her, but will only watch from a distance behind her. Without dependence, she can quickly learn to fly.
In today's events, there is a first time and a second time. He is not the kind of indecisive person, so he will do what he says.
Even if he was worried, he would just watch her toddler quietly from behind.
"It's no wonder that you have cultivated such a group of elites as Xiao Lieqi, and it's no wonder that your father is so jealous of you," Yi Lingfeng sighed slightly, looking at Xixuan's direction, "You have the ability to achieve great things, but unfortunately you are not. The heart of the big thing. But that's fine, that kind of life of conspiracy and tricks is not for people to live."
Xiao Xu's expression was light, and since he had let it go, he didn't have so much emotion.
At this time, Chu Qingyan and Duguqing had already arrived at the gate of the palace. After layers of inspections and cross-examinations, they successfully entered the palace.
Jiang Guo's palace is different from the palaces she has seen. Its walls are higher than ordinary palaces. To a certain extent, it can prevent someone from wanting to come in from the outside. Chu Qingyan looked at the palace inadvertently. She found that at a certain height, there would be a small window for one person to drill into. She guessed that when the foreign enemy was besieging the palace, the people inside could use this to draw bows and shoot arrows. good barrier.
But now in peacetime, those small windows have been welded to iron pillars, no one can enter, and on the palace wall, there are three steps and one guard, no wonder Tu Ling said before that it is difficult to visit Jiang Guo Palace at night , the problem should be here.
Chu Qingyan withdrew her gaze and followed closely behind the steward of the Yi family, without squinting.
On the other hand, Duguqing, who was beside her, looked around with judgmental eyes. Chu Qingyan felt a little strange. If it was the first time for an ordinary woman to enter the palace, shouldn't she be full of surprises? Why did she not see curiosity in Duguqing, but comparison, and her eyes were full of nitpicking.
Chu Qingyan couldn't help feeling that the women she met along the way were all very interesting, at least they were all in tune with her, such as Yanluo and Duguqing.
The group of them walked a long palace road, with vermilion walls on both sides, glazed tiles on top of the palace walls, overlapping piece by piece, like the wings of a bird, full of layers.
Because the people inside were in a hurry, they didn't dare to delay all the way. When they reached the corner of a palace, there was a palace maid and a eunuch standing there to pick them up, saying that they didn't need to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and went directly to Qianyu Palace.
The steward of the Yi family was a little surprised, "Aren't you going to deliver the goods to Eunuch Su?"
The palace maid replied, "Today, Eunuch Su happened to mention the purchase of your Yi family's goods in front of the empress. The empress said that she wanted to see the cloth in advance."
The steward of the Yi family didn't ask any further questions, and immediately took someone to follow the two of them.
Chu Qingyan didn't expect that this journey would be smooth. She wanted to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some news, but she didn't want to go to the palace of Empress Jiang Guo.
She and Duguqing exchanged looks, nodded secretly, lowered her head and quickly followed.
Going around in circles, Chu Qingyan almost fainted, and when a magnificent palace came into view, Chu Qingyan knew that their destination had arrived.
Just as the group was about to set foot on the white jade steps, they heard the leading palace maid and eunuch salute.
"The slaves have met Ning County Master."
"The slave has seen the Ning County Lord."
Chu Qingyan and Duguqing stood at the back and did not have time to see the person in front, so they knelt down with everyone and bowed.
At this moment, a voice that Chu Qingyan was familiar with sounded from the front.
"Be flat!"
Chu Qingyan's face changed slightly, why is this voice so familiar, isn't it—
Seeing that Chu Qingyan's face was wrong, Duguqing immediately pulled her to stand up, this little aunt, don't do anything wrong at this time!
