A Female King’s Love Story - Chapter 39
It was night when she left the palace, the guards were relatively relaxed, she could cautiously avoid the patrolling guards and leave, but right now, it was the hour before the imperial court, the guards were strict, her clothes were tattered, and she was able to attract strange gazes, it was really difficult to enter the palace.
Qiao once again stopped not far from the entrance of the Li Palace. He thought of how he could contact Meng Shi or Eunuch Gao, and send someone to help her.
Qiao Qiao still lowered his head. Suddenly, his eyes flashed as he thought of an ingenious plan to enter the palace.
She casually wiped off the dust from the corner of the room and smeared her delicate face. Although she didn’t know whether the guard had seen her appearance before, it was still better to smudge it for safety’s sake.
“Who is it!?” Is the palace something that a beggar like you can observe? Get lost! ” Without waiting for Joe to speak, the guard at the door saw her approaching footsteps and shouted.
“Your excellency, this servant is the personal servant girl by the emperor’s side. I was ordered to go to the palace to look for someone by His Majesty’s orders, but did not expect any mishap. All the people by this servant’s side died miserable in a foreign land, leaving only this servant here to walk back home. Everyone in the palace knew that Ying Yue had been ordered to go out to search for her. With the current situation, Qiao Qiao could only pretend to be Ying Yue who hadn’t returned yet to enter the palace.
“What?” Are you still the emperor’s personal maid? Haha, if you’re someone from the emperor, then your father is her father! ” The guard mocked, “Take advantage of your father’s good mood and scram. A poor beggar, don’t get in your way.”
Qiao Qiao clenched her fist tightly. She really didn’t expect that there was such a despicable thing in the Imperial Palace. She wanted to see if he could be her father.
“Ah, be careful when you speak. What if she really is the emperor’s personal servant?” Another guard at his side said to him.
“What a joke, how could the emperor’s personal servant be a poor beggar?” He looked disdainfully up and down at Qiao Qiao. “Even if she really is the emperor’s personal servant, laozi will not let her return to the palace!”
“Sigh, it’s best to be careful in everything you do.” The other guard shook his head and looked at Joe.
“Scram, scram. What are you looking at? Hurry up and scram.” When the guard saw that no one was around, he impatiently shouted at Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao continued to bite his lips. He pulled out a gold plate from his sleeve and stood in front of everyone. He shouted coldly:
“I am a first aunt of the imperial harem, but you won’t listen to my advice even if I have good words to say. Since that’s the case, I’ll take out the imperial edict. If you see this medallion, then quickly let me in!”
The guards were all dumbstruck. Looking at the command token in Qiao Qiao’s hands, their feet trembled and they knelt on the ground:
“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”
The mighty guard’s eyes widened, his upper lip and lower teeth chattering nonstop. He really didn’t think that this beggar was actually Aunty Yingyue, who was by the side of the emperor.
“I remember that this elder brother said that if I’m the emperor’s personal servant, then you’re the emperor’s father?” Joe asked, still leaning close to the insolent guard.
“My aunt, please forgive me. I was just being quick to speak. Please…” Please … Aunty, please forgive me. ” The guard’s legs bent and with a plop, he kneeled on the ground as he begged while trembling.
“The speed of talking seems to be really fast. However, I think I still need to let the emperor know about this matter. After all, the speed of speaking is too fast. In the future, it’s easy to bite the tongue.” Qiao Qiao still put away the command medallion, curled his lips slightly, and said with a threatening expression.
“Aunty, please forgive me. I won’t dare to do it again. I won’t ever do it again.” The guard could hear the threat in Qiao Qiao’s voice and kowtowed towards the ground.
“Humph!” Qiao Qiao’s voice was still cold as she raised her foot and walked into the palace. Although this fellow deserved to be punished, it was still better for her to enter the palace and check out the situation.
“Halt!” Just as Qiao Qiao was about to enter the palace, a soft voice stopped her in her tracks. “May I have your name, Aunt?”
Qiao Qiao was still standing on the spot and sneered. He slowly turned around and said softly: “How is it? “My lord, have you fallen for this aunt?” She looked at the guard who had stopped her. He looked like the leader of the group.
“Aunty, you’re joking. According to what I know, aunty is the personal servant of two emperors. Her name is Xiyue and Aunty Yingyue. Are you …?” the self-proclaimed general asked politely.
“Fang name, Yingyue.” Qiao still gave a light laugh and turned to leave.
“Halt!” The guard leader looked at Qiao once again and shouted coldly.
“How is it? “I already have the emperor’s orders, I’m acting on his orders. If you block everything in your power and ruin the emperor’s grand plans, will you be able to bear the burden!?” Joe was still a little angry, but he did not turn around.
“Aunty misunderstood, I only wanted to know that Aunty Yingyue had already returned to the palace early this morning. You said that you are Aunt Yingyue, then why would there be two Aunt Yingyue in the palace?” Although the guard leader’s tone was slow, his words were precise and his expression was stern.
Qiao Qiao was still shocked. Yingyue had returned to the palace? This girl didn’t return early or late, and had to return before her. This time, things were bad!
“What?” Is she pretending? ” The guard who was still trembling in fear due to Qiao Qiao immediately stood up and stood behind the guard leader, shouting, “General, this lowly one means how could she be an aunt of the first step. With her poor appearance, she definitely has ill intentions when entering the palace.
The guard leader raised his palm, signalling the guard to be quiet. He looked at Qiao once again with an inquiring look, but his tone was still gentle as he said: “Aunty, are you not going to explain?”
Qiao Qiao still tightly shut his eyes. It seemed like he would not be able to hoodwink his way into the palace today.
