Chapter 457: Stalemate
Su Qing tried his best to enter the palace, but because the guards at the door were too obedient, Su Qing didn't know what to do.
"I beg you, just let me in, now that the court should be over, I will definitely not do anything to disturb the discipline."
Su Qing had already circled in front of these guards dozens of times, and they were still unmoved.
Su Qing was helpless, and kept thinking of other ways in his head.
I thought about climbing over the wall, but the inner wall of the palace was so high that it was not easy for me to climb it, and if I provoked the Praetorian Guards who were patrolling at any time, I would not be able to eat and walk around.
She also thought about directly knocking out the guards in front of the palace, but if the movement was too big and was discovered by the Praetorian Guards, trespassing on the palace was a capital crime, and maliciously injuring the palace guards, she wouldn't die without a corpse......
Su Qing quickly gave up these thoughts, and if he wanted to enter the palace, he had to outwit them.
Coincidentally, there was a shadow puppet show team about to enter the palace, and Su Qing decided to seize this good opportunity.
"Well, in that case, I won't disturb your work."
In order to dispel the guards' doubts, Su Qing deliberately turned around and left.
Su Qing quietly co-opted one of the actors in the shadow puppet team, "Little girl, are you entering the palace?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
"I want to enter the palace with you."
"Who are you? What if we take you in, and you plot against you in the palace? ”
Su Qing showed Murong An's princely token, and by the way, handed a few valuable things on his body to the little girl.
"Little girl, don't worry, I will never do anything bad, you can help me."
Su Qing persuaded in a good voice, and when the little girl saw that she took out something valuable, she softened her temperament.
"You're the princess?"
The little girl looked at Su Qing's dress, although she was not dressed gorgeously, but Su Qing's appearance was overwhelming, not to mention holding the princess token, it was natural to think that she might be the princess.
"I am, but for some reason, I can't go in as a princess, so can you take me in?"
The little girl looked at Su Qing from top to bottom, and felt that she should not do anything bad, and she accepted other people's things, so she agreed.
"Then you put this dress on first."
Su Qing quickly did what the little girl asked her to do and followed behind the shadow puppet team.
The guards really didn't check them one by one, and Su Qing lowered his head and went in.
"Thank you, little girl."
"No thanks, if you have something urgent, do it."
Su Qing hurriedly thanked him, but after all, he had a special identity and was now alone, so it was not appropriate to walk around the palace casually, "I'll follow you first, and I'll leave when I'm far away from the guards, okay?" ”
The little girl thought about it, and after understanding Su Qing's approach, she agreed.
"Are you going later?"
"We're going to the girls, they've always loved to watch shadow puppetry."
Su Qing realized that this team was going to the harem, and thought that on the way to the harem, he happened to be able to reach the main hall on the way, and Su Qing also felt that it was convenient.
Murong Heng was still sitting on top of the main hall, and his mood was up and down today. The Murong An in front of him, who has always been regarded as a thorn in his side, is also paying attention to him at all times.
Su Qing broke away from the shadow puppet show team and stood outside the main hall.
Soon, the guards stopped Su Qing, but Su Qing was the identity of the princess, and they couldn't help her.
"Please help me inform Your Majesty, I have something urgent to tell the prince."
The guards saw that Su Qing was the princess after all, so they went to pass the word honestly.
When Murong Heng heard the news that Su Qing was waiting outside, he thought about it.
Su Qing is just a woman, how could there be such an urgent matter to interrupt the process above the court.
"Father, the queen mother is waiting outside the palace, saying that there is an emergency."
Murong Heng deliberately asked tentatively, wanting to see Murong An's reaction.
"Your Majesty, now is the time for government affairs, you should not be disturbed by the trivial matters of the Weichen family, and the Weichen will arrange for the princess to leave."
Murong An quickly sent someone to send a message to Su Qing, but Su Qing was helpless, and he couldn't break into the palace, so he finally entered the palace, but he was still asked to leave.
Su Qing had long known in her heart that she couldn't stop Murong An, but she still had a slight thought and hope in her heart, thinking that with her own ability, she could make Murong An change her decision.
It's just that although I guessed that the result would be like this, I still felt uncomfortable.
Murong Heng became more and more unable to understand what Murong An was going to do, and above the court, it became more and more deserted.
Murong An suddenly stood up and made a suggestion.
"Your Majesty, although Weichen does not agree with the other ministers' proposals for the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, there are also doubts about the emperor's ideas."
The ministers didn't know what Murong An was doing, so they just watched him continue.
Murong Heng's face began to be filled with dissatisfaction again.
"What does my father think?"
"Although the emperor took into account the insufficient expenditure of the state treasury, he did not take into account the current situation of the people, and you and the ministers have made the same mistake, but the opinion is just the opposite."
Murong Heng didn't interrupt Murong An's words, but he also had a faint uneasiness in his heart.
Murong Heng knew that this was an indirect criticism of his short-sightedness.
"Although the emperor considered that money would be needed to control the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, he did not consider employing people."
Murong Heng also knew that this was criticizing him for not knowing how to appoint talented people.
Murong Heng didn't want to listen to what he said next, and in order to save his face, he interrupted Murong An's admonition.
"Father, my son knows that he is inexperienced, but I will also think about many things carefully, my father is so depressed, do you think I can't be a good emperor?"
The atmosphere instantly became tense, and Murong An showed a shallow smile, he had always disdained Murong Heng.
Murong Heng had already guessed that everything Murong An did was purposeful, and it seemed that he had already exposed his feet.
In this game, it is still unknown who will win.
Murong Heng once again had murderous intentions towards his "father" Murong An.
The previous two assassinations of Murong An had always been in his mind, and he had already guessed that Murong Heng would definitely not let him go, but according to today's situation, Murong Heng's disguised face could not be exposed so quickly.
He knew that even if Murong Heng wanted to kill him, it was not the time yet.
Murong Heng also knew that if he really wanted to kill Murong An now, it would be impossible for him to do it himself, and someone had to be a "substitute for the dead ghost".
But now, no one dares to get rid of Murong An.
The two are at an impasse.
