The carriage avoided the large and small inns on the main street, went down a small alley, and stopped in front of an old wooden door. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't think it was an inn.
The environment of the inn was very simple. Chu Qiao and the others had just entered the door when a young eunuch came behind. He whispered something to Ye Yunfang in a low voice and left in a hurry.
Mingzhu was tired along the way, so she lay down and fell asleep. However, Chu Qiao was worried that her identity would be exposed, and she kept thinking about the palace rules that Mingzhu told her.
When night fell, it started to snow lightly, and the snowflakes were scattered all over the place. After a while, a thin layer accumulated on the ground.
Ye Yunfang woke up the sleeping Pearl. A gray sedan in harmony with the night had been prepared outside the inn door. Chu Qiao sat next to Ye Yunfang. The sedan slowly moved forward. Through the gap in the sedan, she could vaguely see it.
There is a shining moat in the dark night, and a double-arched white marble bridge. The main entrance of the palace, which is more than ten meters high, is just behind the white marble bridge. The imperial guards are guarding there with weapons, and there are soldiers guarding the top of the city.
It's not that easy for a fly to fly in.
The sedan walked around the main entrance, waited for a cup of tea, and stopped outside a side door. The little eunuch who had appeared in the inn during the day came out cautiously.
"Empress Zhaoyi is impatiently waiting."
"I'll be there right away, Mingzhu, Chunxiang, follow me." Ye Yunfang shouted very naturally.
Mingzhu tugged Chu Qiao's arm, and Chu Qiao hurriedly followed Ye Yunfang, lowering her head. Xu, the young eunuch, knew Chunxiang, and was stunned for a moment, but did not dare to ask questions.
Sticking to the base of the imperial city wall, we walked cautiously and slowly, avoiding the front part of the palace, and soon entered the scope of the harem. The people in Jingren Palace were Zhaoyi, Shuyi and some concubines, so
The location was relatively remote. After entering Jingren Palace, Ye Yunfang seemed more cautious and went straight to Jinlan Garden.
But before she could step across the threshold of Jinlan Garden, a woman who looked like a female official came over with a brocade box in hand. She gave a plain blue voice, which was considered elegant, but her face was a bit tricky.
"Look, isn't this Yun Fang in Li Zhaoyi's room? I haven't seen her for a while. Where did she come back from in the middle of the night?"
"I just contracted the cold. I was afraid of infecting the empress, so I asked Chunxiang and Mingzhu to take care of me in the room for a while." Ye Yunfang said in a low voice, as if he didn't want to offend the female official.
It is said that Ye Yunfang's lung disease has just recovered, and her complexion is not good. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is ill.
"Then you have to have a good rest. This is the supplement that Empress Shuyi asked me to send. I said that Empress Zhaoyi's miscarriage hurt her health, so she needs to take good care of her."
"Yunfang thanks Empress Shuyi for her kindness on behalf of Empress Zhaoyi." Ye Yunfang took the brocade box.
The female officer smiled lightly, turned and left.
"Empress Shuyi has been favored recently, and bitch Gou Qingyue has also gained support. She is getting more and more arrogant. The look on her face when she spoke just now is really annoying." Mingzhu complained as soon as the female official disappeared.
"Okay, be careful that the partition wall has ears."
Ye Yunfang was very calm and walked into Jinlan Garden with the brocade box in hand. Chu Qiao followed and looked around. As its name suggests, the garden is elegant and unique.
Stepping on the square colored bricks all the way, when she entered the room, after the cold air, a wave of warmth hit her face. This warmth was also mixed with a faint strange aroma. Chu Qiao, who has been familiar with spices since she was a child, wrinkled slightly.
