Seeing the blood on the servant Liu's nose and disheveled appearance, he only continued, "You should go down first and take care of the wound."
When Chamberlain Liu heard this, he naturally only thanked him. After collecting the broken piece of blood-fat jade pendant, he prepared to bow down and retreat.
But Emperor Yong suddenly said, "Let me keep that jade pendant."
After hearing this, Chamberlain Liu naturally placed the jade pendant in front of Emperor Yong's desk.
The words were divided into two parts, but it was said that after Jiang Nianjiao separated from Zhao Nianze, she saw clouds all over the palace road. Knowing that the key to the palace gate was about to be released, she was ready to return to the Jiang Mansion.
But Jiang Nianjiao, who was sitting in the sedan, thought more and more that something was wrong with her aunt, and there was always a strong and uneasy feeling in her heart, which was stuck in her heart and could not come down.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at Chengtianmen Square, Jiang Nianjiao suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in her heart.
So she just opened the curtain and said, "Stop! Stop first!"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, a palace attendant carrying the sedan couldn't help but turn around and said to Jiang Nianjiao, "What do you want to give Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Nianjiao just said, "You guys get off the sedan first! I can get off the sedan here!"
Although the palace man felt confused, he still stopped the sedan chair.
But he never expected that Jiang Nianjiao didn't rush to Chengtianmen after getting off the sedan. She only deliberately tore apart the string of red coral beads hanging in her hands when she got off the sedan.
In an instant, the red coral beads were scattered all over the floor. She said quickly, "Cui Qiao, pick up these beads for me. These are things given to me by my aunt."
Cui Qiao naturally lowered her head to pick up the beads. When the palace attendants saw this, they were about to bend down to pick up the beads for Jiang Nianjiao. However, Jiang Nianjiao just waved to those people and said, "Everyone, go ahead. We will finish picking up the beads soon." , I won’t bother you, father-in-law, to pick it up for me.”
After saying that, Jiang Nianjiao just took another ingot of silver and put it in the palace man's hand.
The man was naturally happy after getting the money, but before leaving, he still reminded him, "Young lady, please leave the palace as soon as possible. After the palace gate is closed, if the girl continues to stay in the palace, the consequences will be bad."
Jiang Nianjiao naturally only responded.
However, as soon as the palace attendants carrying the sedan chair left, Jiang Nianjiao suddenly said to Cui Qiao, who was still picking up the beads, "Ah Qiao, stop picking up the beads. Let's go."
Cuiqiao was confused by Monk Zhang Er. She just didn't understand why her girl suddenly let her go again.
However, Jiang Nianjiao must have a reason for what she said, so although Cuiqiao was full of doubts, she still cooperated with Jiang Nianjiao and put down the bead string in her hand.
As soon as Jiang Nianjiao put down the bead string, she went in the opposite direction to Chengtianmen.
Cuiqiao couldn't help but remind her in a low voice, "Miss, you are on the wrong track!"
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she just glanced at Cui Qiao and said, "I'm right, I want to go to Yuxiu Palace."
"Ah! No! Miss, haven't we just been to Yuxiu Palace? And the palace door is about to be unlocked. We won't be able to get out by then. If we stay in the palace and are caught by the patrolling guards, we will have to He was taken away as an assassin!"
Facing Cui Qiao who was noisily comforting her, Jiang Nianjiao did not answer Cui Qiao's words.
She didn't know why she was so worried.
She intuitively felt that this fear was related to her aunt.
So she had to go see her aunt again. Only when she was sure that her aunt was fine could she feel at ease.
Thinking of this, she even stepped up her pace. Cui Qiao on the side naturally saw that something was wrong with Jiang Nianjiao's expression. She didn't say anything more and just followed Jiang Nianjiao quickly. The two of them avoided the palace people and guards. While walking quickly, fortunately, Jiang Nianjiao was very familiar with the road to the Sixth Palace in the West.
Therefore, the two of them arrived at the gate of Yuxiu Palace with almost no effort. However, due to the long distance, when they arrived, the sky was completely dark, and the palace gate also closed after the sound of drums. Key.
The palace roads everywhere were lit up with stars of light. Those candlelights flickered and extinguished in the sound of wind in the empty space.
The person's shadow also swayed with the candlelight, like some kind of erratic hint.
In front of the Yuxiu Palace gate, naturally there was only
There are still as many guards as before.
Jiang Nianjiao also knew in her heart that it would be extremely difficult for her to take a quick look at Concubine Yuxian without the emperor's instructions at this time. Fortunately, she had grown up in Yuxiu Palace and was very familiar with it, and she was with Yuxiu Palace today. Next to her was Cui Qiao, who was an expert in lightness skills. Therefore, after avoiding the main entrance, Jiang Nianjiao only led Cui Qiao towards the west palace wall. After all, among all the palace walls, only the west palace wall was the lowest. .
Moreover, the area near the west palace wall is a viewing place such as the Imperial Garden, and the guards there are the weakest.
Therefore, after confirming the situation of the main entrance, Jiang Nianjiao led Cui Qiao to avoid the patrolling guards while slowly approaching the west wall.
Jiang Nianjiao pointed to the west wall and said, "Cuiqiao, can you fly up?"
Cuiqiao nodded, "It's not that difficult."
"Then let's go in quickly. Anyway, there are only aunt and Yan'er in the inner room. Once we go in, we will be safe."
Cui Qiao sighed silently, secretly thinking that Jiang Nianjiao was a little too courageous, so she could only obey Jiang Nianjiao's arrangements.
I just didn't want Cui Qiao to pull Jiang Nianjiao and prepare to dodge, but the lights suddenly brightened under her feet. At the same time, a guard in black suddenly grabbed Cui Qiao's arm.
Cui Qiao was grabbed by the arm, and Jiang Nianjiao naturally had no way to hide.
Cui Qiao subconsciously slapped the man hard, but the man was unexpectedly slapped away by Cui Qiao.
The man took a few steps back, only to be supported by the chamberlain beside him.
At the same time, the man just said sternly, "Catch these two assassins! Don't let them escape!"
In an instant, the guards surrounded Jiang Nianjiao and Cui Qiao in the crowd.
The flickering firelight only illuminated the figures of the two people very clearly.
Seeing that their boss suffered a loss just now, these guards did not dare to take action rashly. They only surrounded Jiang Nianjiao and Cui Qiao.
And this also gave Jiang Nianjiao the opportunity to explain.
After all, Cui Qiao is very skilled, but with such a sluggish person like herself, it is always very difficult to escape.
And not to mention, there are many masters in the palace, such as hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao had no choice but to say loudly, "I am not an assassin, I am Jiang Nianjiao, the daughter of the Jiang family! Don't do anything."
Then she just said something to stop Cui Qiao and said, "Ah Qiao, don't move!"
The leading guard naturally saw it under the candlelight. Although these two people were sneaky, their clothes did not look like assassins. If the girl who made the noise looked carefully, she did indeed look like Jiang Nianjiao.
Because Jiang Nianjiao had often been in and out of the palace before, the leader of the guards recognized her face.
"Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Nianjiao quickly responded, "It's me!"
"Miss Jiang, ordinary people have to leave the palace before the key is released. If I remember correctly, it seems that you are not allowed to stay in the palace now, right?" the guard said softly.
Jiang Nianjiao could only whisper, "You are right."
"Don't Miss Jiang know what kind of punishment you will receive for staying in the palace before the palace gate?" The guard immediately said sternly.
Jiang Nianjiao smiled bitterly, "Of course I know, brother, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."
Then she glanced at the palace wall with worry and said, "But before that, I want to ask my eldest brother to do me a favor! If this wish can be achieved, I will leave with you obediently, okay?"
The guard didn't say anything when he heard this, and Jiang Nianjiao continued, "I want to see my aunt once before I leave, just one time. After confirming my aunt's safety, I will definitely leave with you."
When Jiang Nianjiao said this, her eyes were filled with prayer.
However, the guard said softly, "Miss Jiang, I can't do this. Besides, His Majesty was also worried that someone might do something unexpected to His Majesty, so he ordered his servants to monitor this place inside and outside. Even the inner room was guarded by secret guards. I guarantee that not a single fly will get into Yuxiu Palace, so girl, please leave with us."
Hearing what the guard said, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but feel frightened. She didn't expect that Emperor Yong would guard the Yuxiu Palace so closely.
in this way
It seemed that even if she escaped the patrolling guards, she might not be able to escape the secret guards guarding the yard.
But Jiang Nianjiao still refused to give up and said, "Brother, I beg you, please let me see my aunt. I really stayed in the palace because I was worried about her! If I don't see her! In my heart Uneasy!"
After saying this, Jiang Nianjiao just knelt in front of the guard.
The guard never expected that Jiang Nianjiao would do this. He only whispered, "Miss Jiang, what are you doing? It's not that we won't help you, it's actually very difficult for us to do this. If we let you in! We I’m afraid my official position will not be guaranteed!”
Jiang Nianjiao didn't want to get up at all, she could only kneel down and said, "I'm begging you! Just let me see my aunt! Otherwise, you can help me see my aunt! As long as you confirm her safety ! You can do whatever you want with me!"
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao mention such a compromise idea, the guard leader couldn't help but hesitate.
But before he could reach a conclusion after hesitating, a woman's frightened shouts and cries suddenly rang out in the Yuxiu Palace.
The voice was extremely sad, and Jiang Nianjiao felt a throbbing pain in her heart.
Although they were far apart and the wind was quiet, she couldn't hear clearly what was being said there.
But Jiang Nianjiao seemed to have telepathy.
She stood up suddenly and ran towards the main entrance with red eyes!
The guards naturally wanted to stop her, but at the same time, Cui Qiao still took action to stop the pursuit of those guards for her.
The whistling wind blew past her ears. When Jiang Nianjiao rushed to the front door, she could hear the loud knocking on the door panel inside and Yan'er's cry for help.
