A Female King’s Love Story - Chapter 40
When the guard leader saw that Qiao Qiao was still embarrassed, he naturally knew in his heart that she was impersonating Yingyue. However, she also had the imperial edict, so she did not dare to act rashly.
“There’s nothing much to explain. I’m a guest personally invited by the emperor. With the emperor here, can’t you let me pass?” Although Yingyue’s identity wasn’t good, she still didn’t want to reveal her identity. After all, with her current appearance, it would be too embarrassing if people knew that she was the current emperor.
“If you do not clarify, it will be very difficult for me to let you go. My duty is to do so, so I hope that you do not make things difficult for me.” The guard leader said with a polite expression.
“General, why are you wasting your breath on her? Since she’s a fake, why don’t you just chase her out of the palace?” The guard who had been trying to put on a mighty front towards Qiao once again hooted.
“What’s your name?” She had always been a woman who would repay kindness with kindness and return with hatred. This time, this guard looked down on people and she wanted him to pay the price. Let’s see if he still dared to be so arrogant in the future!
“It’s none of your business. How can you, a poor beggar, know my name?” The guard spat.
“Hmph.” Joe continued to smile coldly.
“General, Lord Meng sent his subordinate to change shifts.”
Perhaps it was time for the guards to change shifts, but a new batch of guards still came from behind Qiao Qiao. She slowly turned around, and the people behind her were the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the person in the lead looked familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen them before.
“Your majesty?!” The Imperial Secret Service guard who was leading the guards shouted to Qiao yet again. He then walked forward, bent down, and kowtowed as he said:
“This subordinate didn’t know that Your Majesty was here. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”
“Your majesty?!” The guards at the entrance of the palace had their mouths wide open. They never would have thought that this ragged beggar would be the noble emperor of Qiao Guo!
The group of people’s faces turned purple as they obstructed the emperor, looked down on his authority, and spoke arrogantly. Which one of them wasn’t a death sentence for the nine clans, even if this woman was an aunt of the first rank in the palace who held an imperial dictum, these crimes could still be criminalized, not to mention the person in front of them was the real emperor!
The dignified guard from before had already lost his strength in his legs, and with a stomp, he fainted.
“This subordinate didn’t know that Your Majesty was the Emperor. May Your Majesty mete out a punishment!” The guard leader immediately kowtowed.
“You are responsible, so it is only right for you to interrogate him strictly. As the saying goes, those who do not know are not guilty, and I am not an unconscious king. I will not punish you. Get up.” Qiao Qiao still waved her hand towards the crowd. It seemed like her identity today had been exposed without a doubt. Her face also grew bigger and bigger.
“Thank you, your majesty.” The guard leader kowtowed in thanks.
“You are?” Qiao Qiao slowly walked forward and asked the leader of the Jinyi Guards.
“Does the emperor not remember this subordinate?” And it was the Emperor who personally recommended this subordinate to Lord Meng to enter the Embroidered Uniform Guard. ” The man looked at Qiao Qiao as if he had met his benefactor.
It was no wonder that he looked familiar. He was the little imperial bodyguard who had followed her around the entire palace on the day of the battle between the Imperial Guards and the imperial guards.
“You’re called Retrospective?” Joe asked, still frowning.
“Your majesty still remembers this subordinate’s name!” Tracing back, his face lit up.
“This Emperor has a good memory.” Joe, still laughing dryly, looked back at the guard, who had fainted from fright. “Take him away.” she said coldly.
“Yes.” The two guards stepped forward, dragging the mud-like guards with them as they followed behind Joe.
At this moment, in the palace.
“What to do? What to do? There’s still no news of the Emperor.” Xiyue was frantic as she spun around on the ground.
“Big sister, where did the emperor go?!” The ‘Emperor’ who was in the throne room just now slowly got up and anxiously asked Xiyue.
“Yingyue, you’ve left the palace for so long that you’ve missed too many things. I can’t explain it to you in such a short time, but the emperor hasn’t come back yet, so you should lie down and play the role of the emperor first. Don’t get involved.” Xiyue instructed with a nervous look.
This morning, she had thought of a plan to find someone to disguise as the Emperor to get through this trial, and when she went to find someone reliable, Yingyue had just returned to the palace, and upon hearing that there were only a few people who wanted to return to the palace, she could only ask Yingyue to wear a human skin mask and pretend to be playing the role of the Emperor.
Xiyue’s small, pale face was frowning. She stood in the palace and paced back and forth.
“Aunt Xiyue, the eldest daughter of the Luo clan is outside asking to see the Emperor.” At the door, the palace maid reported.
“Replying to her. The emperor is currently recuperating and cannot be disturbed by anyone.” At this moment, they could only drag it out for a while. Since last night, Luo Qingqing had requested to see them four or five times. It was unknown whether she knew of the news or had done it by accident.
“Aunt Xiyue, Miss Luo said that if she can’t see the emperor today, she won’t leave the palace.” The palace maid came back to report.
“This …” Xiyue was momentarily in a difficult position. When she saw Eunuch Gao walk in, she quickly walked up to him. “Eunuch Gao, is there any news from the emperor?”
Eunuch Gao looked into the room and lightly shook his head.
“Sigh.” Xiyue let out a deep sigh as the room once again sank into a freezing atmosphere.
All of a sudden, a shadow crept up from the doorway and attracted everyone’s attention.
“Who is it?!” Xiyue cautiously let out a loud shout.
“Shh ~ ~!” Qiao once again walked towards the inner part of the hall in a soft voice. As he did so, he turned his head to look outside.
“It’s the Emperor?!” “Your Imperial Majesty!” Xiyue called out in shock. The Emperor is back! ” After being shocked, Xiyue called out with a surprised look on her face.
“The Emperor is back?” A crisp call came from within the palace. Then, the woman, who still looked the same as Qiao Qiao, came running toward the palace in ecstasy.
