While talking, Mo Jiuye took out Eunuch Liu's badge and displayed it in front of the soldiers.
The guard guard took the waist tag and checked it, then looked at Mo Jiuye's clothes and immediately put on a smile.
"Father-in-law, please wait a moment. I'll open the door right now."
The palace door slowly opened, and Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran quickly walked in.
Regarding the terrain inside the palace, Mo Jiuye could tell the location even with his eyes closed.
There were many servants in the palace, so it was not surprising to see the two of them look alike. Therefore, the two of them did not evade too much and walked naturally on the bluestone road.
Seeing a group of patrolling guards passing by, He Zhiran looked around and then asked in a low voice:
"Husband, where should we go first?"
"I want to go to Concubine Yuan's palace first." Mo Jiuye replied in a low voice as well.
He Zhiran also planned this. If nothing else happened, Concubine Yuan Gui had always believed that Mo Jiuye was her biological child.
Moreover, Mo Jiuye had often visited Concubine Yuan Guifei since she was a child and was relatively familiar with the latter.
Nowadays, the specific situation in the palace is unknown, and Emperor Shunwu's life and death are not known. The best way is to find an acquaintance and ask about it, so that they can have an idea before taking the next step.
They met several patrolling teams on the road, but they did not become suspicious. The two of them arrived at Concubine Yuan's palace smoothly.
Outside Concubine Yuan's palace, it was deserted than Mo Jiuye remembered, and the number of patrolling soldiers also increased significantly when walking in this direction.
There is no doubt that the Queen has taken control of Concubine Yuan's palace, which means that it is very likely that Concubine Yuan has lost her freedom.
As expected, the door to the palace was closed.
There is nothing strange about this, after all, it is late at night, and it is normal for the concubine's palace to be closed.
Concubine Yuan Guifei was a high-ranking concubine. She was qualified to hang four lanterns in front of her palace door even at night.
There were indeed four lanterns hanging high above the palace door. What was puzzling was that these four lanterns were not lit at all.
There is only one possibility for such a situation to occur.
That is, the concubine made a mistake, and while she was being punished, the emperor would not choose to turn over her.
Judging from the current situation, it is not surprising that Concubine Yuan Guifei would receive such treatment.
Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty didn't know that the queen's biggest enemy was Concubine Yuan Guifei. After all, both of them gave birth to princes for Emperor Shunwu. The most important thing was that both princes were one of the original candidates for the crown prince.
Now that the Queen is in power, with her unyielding temperament, it would be strange not to do anything to Concubine Yuan Gui.
Mo Jiuye did not explain this to He Zhiran, but took her around to the east side of Concubine Yuan's palace.
It was relatively close to Concubine Yuan's dormitory. Even if someone might find out after entering, they would be Concubine Yuan's confidants and would not tell anyone about their arrival.
Surprisingly, the courtyard of the dormitory was deserted, and it was no different from the feeling when he first entered the He family.
The imperial concubine, who is the second most powerful person in the harem after the queen, is actually empty in the courtyard of the dormitory.
If it weren't for the light from the candlelight shining through the window of the main room, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran would have thought that the place had been abandoned.
After all, it is a woman's residence. It is against the rules for Mo Jiuye, a foreigner, to come here. If he enters the house hastily, it will harm Concubine Yuan Gui's reputation.
He Zhiran also knew these ancient rules and took the initiative to come to the door.
She first took out a packet of poison from her arms and held it in her hand for emergencies, and then stepped forward to open the door.
The reason why she didn't knock on the door was that she was worried that the noise might alert the guards patrolling outside, and they were not sure whether the person in the room was Concubine Yuan.
The door was not bolted on the inside, and He Zhiran opened it with just a slight push.
The creak of the door opening instantly broke the silence of the night.
A slightly older female voice asked: "Who?"
He Zhiran was unable to determine the identity of the person who spoke, so he did not answer. Instead, he stood at the door and looked inside with the faint light in the room.
However, there was a screen with pictures of beauties facing the door, blocking her view.
However, through the screen, a staggering shadow could still be seen walking towards the door.
At the same time, the old voice sounded again, with a sense of helplessness and disdain in it.
"The noble concubine has been tortured to this point by you. She can't even get out of bed. What are you doing here?"
Although Grandma Wang's voice was not very loud, it was still heard by Mo Jiuye who was standing outside the door.
He strode forward to the threshold, stood beside He Zhiran, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened to the noble concubine?"
Mo Jiuye has had a very good impression of Concubine Yuan since she was a child. Although it was because she misunderstood her identity, that good impression was real after all.
Now when I heard Aunt Wang say that Concubine Yuan Gui couldn't even get out of bed, she knew without even thinking that it must be the Queen's handiwork. This directly ignited the anger in Mo Jiuye's heart.
Grandma Wang is no stranger to Mo Jiuye's voice.
Because she, like Concubine Yuan Gui, believed that Mo Jiuye was the real third prince, so she naturally wanted to remember everything about him clearly.
At this time, Grandma Wang had already walked out from behind the screen, and she was stunned when she saw two people, one tall and one short, standing at the door.
I thought it was the Ninth Young Master who came to save his 'biological' mother, but it turned out that her joy was in vain.
The two people in front of him were obviously the lackeys serving the queen.
Fortunately, she had just been more thoughtful and didn't call him Jiu Gongzi before seeing the person.
Grandma Wang's expression suddenly changed. Although she was afraid of the two people in front of her, she did not lose her momentum.
She tried to straighten her back and glared at the person in front of her.
"Go back and tell your master that the imperial concubine will not die so easily. She will have to wait to see the fate of you wolves, tigers and leopards."
Grandma Wang thought that the two chambermaids in front of her were sent by the Queen to check whether Concubine Yuan Gui was still alive.
Mo Jiuye knew that Grandma Wang had misunderstood the way she and her daughter-in-law dressed up, so she stepped forward and explained:
"Can't you even recognize my voice, mama?"
This sound...
It's obviously the Ninth Young Master's.
But the person in front of him is just a chamberlain, how could he be the Ninth Young Master?
Just when Grandma Wang was confused, Mo Jiuye spoke again.
"Mommy, I am Mo Jiuye. In order to enter the palace smoothly, I changed my appearance."
As he spoke, he stretched out his left arm and pulled up his sleeve slightly, revealing a small scar on his wrist.
"Mom, do you still remember this scar?
When Nan Qi and I were playing in the Royal Garden when I was young, I accidentally fell down and it was left behind. You bandaged it for me with your own hands. "
