Ten miles away from the palace on the outskirts of Beijing, in a small forest next to the official road. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Master Cui, who was dressed as a beggar and a homeless person, pulled the broken straw hat on the top of his head, reached out and buckled a piece of sludge on the ground, and wiped his old face before bowing his head and turning to the official road on the side.

However, Master Cui did not run directly to the official road, but when he approached the official road, he quickly turned around and hid behind a big tree.

Master Cui poked his head out alertly, looked at the empty woods behind him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, there was no one behind him.

It seems that he finally got rid of the pursuers sent by the Li family and successfully escaped from Qinghe.

Now, the palace on the outskirts of Beijing is about to be. Master Cui believes that as long as he escapes to the palace smoothly, for the sake of the unborn child, Empress Dowager Zhang will not care about his life or death.

Master Cui, who was leaning behind the big tree, remembered the glory and wealth in the palace, the graceful and delicate body of the Queen Mother Zhang, and the child who was about to be born, and couldn't help but smile.

Now, he finally doesn't have to live a precarious life in fear.

At this time, Wu Qiu, who was hidden in the canopy of a big tree not far away, also smiled. He tried his best, made enough appearances, and finally sent Cui Yu to the gate of the palace.

Next, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief and watch a good show with a cold eye. Thinking of this, Wu Qiu opened his mouth and took out the bamboo tube in his arms.

With a slight "snort", the bamboo tube shot straight into the sky, reminding his companions who fell behind him and didn't know how many miles away.

In the cloudless sky, the faint red light flashed and disappeared, quickly disappearing into the sky.

"Aunt Ning, the fourth brother has sent a signal." Thirteen Niang withdrew her gaze from the sky and turned her head to look at Wu Ning on the side.

This time, she obeyed the orders of the young lady and followed Wu Ning as a maidservant, but she had a heavy responsibility.

Now that the fourth brother's play is over, it's time for her and Aunt Ning to appear.

"Okay, let's speed up a little bit, and try to catch up with each other before we reach the palace." At this time, Wu Ning, who had already changed her face and was dressed as a rich old lady, nodded, turned around and got into the carriage.

The whip flew and the sound of breaking through the air.

On the official road, a team of vigorously armored guards guarded a two-horse carriage, galloping forward quickly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the team overtook the faltering Master Cui and stopped not far in front of him.

Master Cui, who was at the back of the convoy, saw that the convoy that had just galloped past him stopped in front, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, squinted his eyes, and stopped.

Why did the person who came stop, but it happened to stop in front of him? Seeing that the palace was close in front of him, Master Cui couldn't help but hesitate.

The people in front of you can't be aimed at yourself, right? Could it be such a coincidence?

However, the palace was ahead, and he had no way around, and he had to go forward no matter what.

Thinking of this, Master Cui lowered his eyes, and pulled the broken straw hat on his head down again before stepping forward again.

At this time, on the side of the official road, Wu Ning, who was dressed in grace and luxury, stepped out of the carriage majestically under the service of the maidservant, and just so coincidentally, he just turned his head and looked in the direction of Master Cui.

Master Cui was just startled when he saw this, and when he was about to stop and turn around, he found that the old lady in front of him had turned around and sat on the big stone on the side of the road, and never looked at himself again.

It looks like a false alarm! Master Cui stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and his muddy face suddenly became even more dirty and messy, and he couldn't see the original half of his elegant appearance.

"Thirteen Niang, how long will it take to get to the palace?" The old lady sitting on the boulder took the water bag presented by the maidservant's hands and took a sip of it elegantly.

"Back to the old lady, the front is here." Thirteen Niang seemed to bow her head and reply, but the corner of her eyes really saw the steps of Master Cui's feet.

Master Cui's pace had to stop. He didn't expect that the group of people in front of him was also going to the palace?

Looking at the dress of this group of people, you can know that the people who come are either rich or expensive. Such a group of people are going to the palace again, could it be the deceased of Empress Dowager Zhang?

Master Cui raised his eyebrows, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but slow down.

"Is it almost there?" The old lady sitting on the side seemed to sigh a little abruptly, but the words that came out made Cui Yu on the side stop immediately.

"I've left the Zhenguo Mansion and disappeared in front of people for more than twenty years, and I don't know if Jiao Niang can still recognize me?"

Lady? Zhang's Jiaoniang is the name of Empress Dowager Zhang! Master Cui couldn't help but be overjoyed at this time, since the person who came could know the name of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and mentioned the Zhenguo Mansion, it seems that it must be someone close to the Empress Dowager Zhang.

It's just that he doesn't know what the identity of this imposing old lady is.

Master Cui was hesitating to reveal his identity and ask, but he heard the maid next to the old lady open her mouth.

"Don't worry about it, old lady. You are Mrs. Zhenguotai of Chaoyipin, and you grew up watching Empress Dowager Zhang, so she naturally recognizes you. ”

What the? The person who came turned out to be Mrs. Zhen Guotai! Master Cui couldn't help but look up in surprise.

According to him, the wife of the Qi family has died more than 20 years ago, so who is the old lady in front of her? He couldn't help but think of what the old lady had just said.......

Left the Zhenguo Mansion and disappeared in front of people for more than twenty years......

Could it be that there is a secret in the events of the year! Master Cui was overjoyed, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, and before the guards on the side reacted, he hurried to the big rock on the side of the road.

"Dare to ask, are you Mrs. Qi?"

.......

Half an hour later, in front of the palace gate.

Master Cui, who had already identified himself with Mrs. Qi, in order to prove his identity, took the initiative to step forward in front of the people of the Qi family and walked to the guards outside the palace gate.

But I don't want to.......

"Fuck off, where did the beggar come from?" The guards at the palace gate didn't look at him, so they waved the scabbard in their hands, looking like they were going to do it immediately if he didn't leave.

"Presumptuous!" Hearing this, Master Cui, who turned red with an old face, felt a great loss of face, and couldn't help but roar a little angrily.

"The old man is Cui Yu, don't open the palace door quickly and let me go to see the Queen Mother."

These dogs look down on people! Seeing the sneering disbelief on the faces of the guards on the side, Master Cui couldn't help but reach out and take out a palace-regulated sachet from his arms.

This sachet is a token that Zhang specially entrusted someone to send to him from Yizhou in order for her mother and son to enter Beijing smoothly, and it is also a token of the alliance between the two of them.

The captain of the forbidden army on duty on the side couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this.

What the old beggar in front of him was holding in his hand turned out to be really a thing in the palace!

Could it be that he really ...... The squad leader was still hesitating, but in the carriage in the distance, a young girl had already stepped down.

"We are from the Zhenguo Mansion, and we want to meet the Queen Mother."

After closing the words, Thirteen Niang took out a token from her sleeve cage and threw it away, breaking into the appearance of a prosperous person. (To be continued.) )
