Chapter 014: Pretending to be a palace maid to enter the palace

After leaving Tianxianglou, at the request of A Xiyan, Chu Junmo accompanied her back to the mansion first, saying that she would dress up and be decent, and then take a pill to cure old problems before entering the palace, so as not to be uncomfortable in the palace.

Chu Junmo also agreed with this very much, and suggested that she bring the bottle of pills with her in case she needed it.

In view of the fact that Ah Xiyan still had to dress up, Chu Junmo did not follow Ah Xiyan into the house, but waited for her in the garden of the mansion intimately.

In fact, Ah Xiyan's grooming is not the main purpose, and taking the medicine for old problems is purely an excuse, she is to bring the bottle of pills in her baggage, because this is the important thing to detoxify the four princes.

And the advantage of carrying this bottle of medicine with you is that if anyone accidentally touches her skin during the palace and faints, she can also detoxify the other party immediately.

After carefully storing the pills close to her, Ah Xiyan simply dressed up again, after all, she would enter the palace for a while, and it would inevitably give a bad impression if she was too sloppy.

The reason why Chu Junmo took the initiative to wait for Ah Xiyan in the garden was because he understood that Ah Xiyan said before that taking an old medicine was purely an excuse, and he must have wanted to take the opportunity to bring that bottle of pill into the palace.

Because after Chu Junmo figured out the truth that the fourth prince was poisoned after picking up A Xiyan's sachet, he also guessed that the bottle of pill he saw when he secretly checked A Xiyan's bag before must be the antidote to the poison of the sachet.

Only by bringing that bottle of pill into the palace can Ah Xiyan cure the four princes.

So he didn't enter the house, just to avoid Ah Xiyan having to eat that pill in front of Chu Junmo in order to lie.

Although there was no harm to Ah Xiyan after eating that pill, it would be a pity to waste one like this.

Chu Junmo could imagine that it was extremely difficult to make that small bottle of pill in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, and thoughtfully thought that it would be more meaningful to let Ah Xiyan keep it when she needed it most.

And he was not idle when he was in the garden, he came to the alley at the entrance of the house, and used code words and gestures to summon a nearby secret guard who guarded the alley at the back door of the palace, and asked the other party to clean up the dead snakes and blood stains in the kitchen after he and A Xiyan left, and checked the entire mansion and sprinkled with insect repellent powder to prevent poisonous snakes from entering the mansion and hurting Ah Xiyan.

The Dark Guard quickly departed after receiving the order, and hid in the shadows again.

Subsequently, Ah Xiyan also came out, and under the leadership of Chu Junmo, she left the mansion and walked not far to a small house nearby.

Before knocking on the door, Chu Junmo first whispered to Ah Xiyan: "Xiyan, Aunt Chang who lives here is an old man in the palace, and she used to serve the Queen Mother. Now she is specially responsible for the training of new palace maids in the palace, and she can also recommend to the palace that she thinks is a good palace maid to choose, she has a special token to enter and leave the palace at will, and you can also pretend to be a new palace maid to enter the palace, and she is very familiar with the palace, and her popularity is good. And the person I trust the most. After a while, she will change you into the clothes of a palace maid, and after briefly teaching you some regular palace etiquette, she will take you into the palace and walk around. Because she often brings new maids in the palace to familiarize herself with the palace, no one will suspect it. After entering the palace for a while, if you want to go to any palace, just let her take you there. Once your sachet is found, let her take you out of the palace right away. And when I was waiting for you in the courtyard before, I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, when I heard another guard of the palace report to the prince about the affairs in the palace, he mentioned that last night the fourth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh princess and the ninth princess went out of the palace to participate in the Qixi Festival. Later, I almost forgot when the palace gate was closed, and I rushed back to the palace by carriage. Presumably, the sachet must have been picked up by a few of them. Among them, there is one of the four princes who is the one who has lost his heart, it is estimated that he picked it up by such a coincidence, I see that you should not go to his palace, lest he accidentally hurt you. Hopefully, this news will make you narrow down and find your sachet as soon as possible, right? ”

Since Chu Junmo had to pretend not to know that the reason why the fourth prince lost his mind was caused by poisoning after touching Ah Xiyan's sachet, he could only imply that Ah Xiyan's fourth prince was the one who picked up her sachet in this way.

And after listening to Chu Junmo's seemingly unintentional words, Ah Xiyan knew in her heart that the sachet was in the hands of the four princes, and she had secretly decided to go straight to the palace where the four princes lived after entering the palace for a while.

It's just that she still pretended not to know and replied: "After entering the palace for a while, I will ask Aunt Chang to take me to the palaces of the princes and princesses you mentioned first, and if not, I will try my luck in other palaces." Thank you. ”

"Good. Then I wish you all the best and find the sachet and come back soon. I'm waiting for good news from you in your house. ”

Chu Junmo said approvingly.

After finishing speaking, after Chu Junmo knocked on the door in a specific code language, a woman in her forties opened the door.

"Mo Gongzi is here? I don't know how I can help you. ”

The woman was slightly surprised when she saw that there was a young woman beside Chu Junmo, but she quickly asked politely.

"That's right, Aunt Chang, this Miss A is a friend of mine, the first time I came to the Imperial City, I have always been very envious of the Imperial Palace, and I want to go in and have a look. So if you want to trouble you to take her into the palace and walk around, you don't have to look at them all, just pick a few to see what she means. I don't know if it's convenient for you in the afternoon? ”

Chu Junmo also said politely.

"Since it's Mo Gongzi's friend, it's naturally no problem. That's it for me. ”

Aunt Chang agreed without hesitation.

"That's great, thank you, Aunt Chang. In this way, Xi Yan, you go to the back room to change into the clothes of a palace maid and put them on, and Aunt Chang and I will talk about something else outside. After I finish speaking, I won't wait for you, I have to hurry back to the palace to report to the prince. ”

Chu Junmo said gratefully, and turned to Ah Xiyan again.

"Okay. Then I'll go. ”

Ah Xiyan replied obediently, and after finishing speaking, she went to the back room.

After Ah Xiyan left, Chu Junmo and Aunt Chang came to the door, and after closing the door, Aunt Chang hurriedly bowed respectfully and whispered: "The old slave has seen the prince." ”

"Aunt Chang, excuse me."

Chu Junmo waved his hand and replied.

"Lord Wang, fortunately you used code words to knock on the door before, and you have already explained to the old slave, otherwise the old slave will expose your identity as the prince in front of Miss A. I just don't know who this young lady is? Why is it worth it for the prince to take her to the old slave in person? Wasn't there anything that happened in the past from Commander Wang? ”

Aunt Chang said with some joy, and asked in a whisper with great puzzlement.

"Aunt Chang, her identity is more complicated, and the things she needs to do in the palace are also special and troublesome, and it is inconvenient for me to accompany her, so I thought of you as soon as possible. After all, you are the person I trusted most when my mother was alive, and you are also the person I trusted most in this world. Regarding Miss A, I will tell you the specific situation slowly when I have a chance in the future, you just need to know that she is very important to me, in addition to protecting her, your task this afternoon is to take her to the Four Emperors* Palace, and help her get back a sachet unconsciously. After that, I sent her to the house at the back gate of the palace, where I waited for her to come back. ”

Chu Junmo replied with a serious expression.

"The old slave understands, the concubine took special care of the old slave family before her death, and you are the life-saving benefactor of the old slave family, so the old slave swears allegiance to you. Please rest assured, the old slave will live up to his mission! ”

Aunt Chang reassured knowingly.

Then, Chu Junmo left.

Soon after Chu Junmo left, Ah Xiyan also changed into the palace maid's clothes.

After that, Aunt Chang originally planned to spend half an hour to quickly train Ah Xiyan on the basic etiquette in the palace, but she didn't expect that Ah Xiyan had a very high level of understanding and completely mastered it in less than a quarter of an hour, and Aunt Chang was also extremely relieved to take her out.

On the way to the palace, Aunt Chang gave a detailed introduction to the appearance and characteristics of the emperor, the main concubines and princesses in the palace, their age and habits, their temperament, and the name of the palace, so that Ah Xiyan, who had never seen them, would not lose her manners if she met them alone.

And Bingxue's smart A Xiyan remembered it almost once after hearing it, and no matter how Aunt Chang asked, she answered it fluently, which also impressed Aunt Chang.

Aunt Chang has trained countless palace maids over the years, and she has also seen talented and intelligent people, and none of the best palace maids who have been trained for three months can compare to Ah Xiyan, who has only been trained in a hurry for more than half an hour.

In her heart, she also secretly sighed that she was worthy of being the woman that the prince fancied, and she was really different.

And as far as she knew, the prince had never been so attentive to any woman, let alone lowered his status to personally accompany a woman to her for help.

also said that Ah Xiyan was very important to him, this was the first time such a thing was said from the mouth of the prince, and no woman had ever been so valued by the prince before.

She had a hunch that this Ah Xiyan would definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, and maybe it would be the future princess.

So she also secretly decided that when she accompanied Ah Xiyan into the palace next, she would definitely do her best to protect her and help her get the sachet she wanted.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Just when Aunt Chang and A Xiyan were walking and chatting, and they were almost at the main entrance of the palace, they didn't expect a series of rapid horses' hooves behind them.

Seeing that the horse was about to crash into A Xiyan, who had no time to dodge, Aunt Chang grabbed A Xiyan's hand and pulled her to the side of the road, narrowly avoiding the galloping horse.

But although Ah Xiyan escaped, Aunt Chang was poisoned because she touched Ah Xiyan's hand.

When Ah Xiyan reacted in shock, she realized that Aunt Chang had fallen to the ground and passed out.

Recalling Aunt Chang's previous move of pulling her, Ah Xiyan knew that Aunt Chang had been poisoned by her.

Hurriedly took out the small medicine bottle he carried with him and fed one to Aunt Chang.

It's just that Ah Xiyan knows in her heart that it will take at least half an hour for Aunt Chang to wake up, and even if she does, with her age and physique, I am afraid that she will still be very weak, and she may not be able to walk to accompany her into the palace.

But Ah Xiyan doesn't want to miss the opportunity to enter the palace today, if she comes back tomorrow, I'm afraid that there will be many dreams at night, especially if the sachet is touched by more uninformed people, it will be troublesome.

Just when Ah Xiyan looked at Aunt Chang lying on the ground at a loss, not knowing what to do next, she didn't notice that a carriage stopped beside her under the escort of the royal guards......
