Chapter 374: The Cooks Tell a Lie
Outside the West Palace Courtyard, An Ruqing groped all the way here.
She looked up at the plaque hanging high, and this place was exactly what she knew from the cooks.
It's just that the palace in front of him looks exquisite, and Mo Nanchen has never been much pleased with the emperor, even if the emperor leaves him to live in the palace, he will not let him live in this kind of high-class palace.
Isn't it......
What the cooks say is false?
As soon as An Ruqing thought of this, she hurriedly retracted the steps she wanted to step into, and she leaned against the secret door with a calm face, her expression very entangled.
Right now, Ah Luo took the initiative to expose her in order to cover her, and she was here alone, so she must be careful in everything.
Thinking like this, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of patrolling guards outside the hall, her expression immediately changed, and she shrank her body against the wall suddenly, and she didn't dare to come out.
If it is discovered at this moment, then today's entry into the palace will definitely be discovered, not only is today's efforts in vain, but even if you want to enter the palace in the future, it will become even more difficult.
Beads of sweat appeared on An Ruqing's forehead, she bit her lip nervously, tightened her ten fingers, and forced herself to calm down.
When she came to the palace on this trip, she concealed her identity, and the cooks in the imperial dining room must not know her, so there is no need to deceive her when they say it.
Besides, she had never done such a thing as breaking into the palace before, so naturally no one would suspect that she, a princess from the people, would have such courage.
Seeing this, An Ruqing's mind was slightly stable.
However, in the next second, a sharp sword suddenly pointed at her
"Who are you? What are you doing sneakily outside the temple! ”
The patrol guards spotted An Ruqing's revealing clothes, and quickly drew their swords and stepped forward to glare at her.
An Ruqing's hair stood on end, she didn't expect to be discovered so quickly, her brain was spinning rapidly, and when she met the guard's eyes, she hurriedly waved her hand and smiled flatteringly: "This big brother misunderstood, I am the one who entered the palace with the food delivery team." ”
"It's just that I got lost after I came out of the imperial dining room, and now I came here unintentionally, and I didn't know where this was, and I asked this big brother to know it!"
An Ruqing calmly continued to play her role, and asked the guards to look at them as she spoke.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, the guards didn't believe it at all, and looked at her with suspicion in their eyes.
"The people in the delivery line?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Then why are you here alone? Look at your fine skin and tender meat, how can you be the one who delivers vegetables! Isn't it a wicked person who sneaks into the palace? The guard sneered and glared at An Ruqing, exuding a sense of displeasure.
Hearing this, An Ruqing smiled bitterly in her heart, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she would really praise the truth about the guard's cleverness.
When the surrounding guards heard the voices of the two, they were all attracted and couldn't help but come over one after another.
An Ruqing's calm heart was all shattered at this moment, it would be better if she dealt with one person, but now that there are so many guards, how will she deal with it!
She was so anxious that she was ready for the worst, which was to fight the guards head-on.
However, at this moment, when the two sides were tense, a drunken drunkard came over.
The man was wearing a three-grade minister's court uniform, An Ruqing looked at the other party's red eyes, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to greet the other party, and shouted: "My lord!" ”
The drunkard turned around in a daze, and when he heard someone call him an adult, he thought it was a little servant in his house, his eyes were cloudy, and he burped: "It's you, didn't the official ask you to look for me after coming out of the dining room, how did you get here?" ”
When An Ruqing heard this, she was ecstatic in her heart, and hurriedly followed the other party's words: "The villain got lost after coming out, so he accidentally walked here, but fortunately he met an adult at this moment." ”
It's really God who helped her, she didn't know how to excuse herself, but she didn't expect this adult to be drunk and directly recognize the wrong person.
Seeing him so drunk, he must have asked the little maid to go to the dining room to get food and drink!
The two of them talked without anyone else, and this scene was taken into the eyes of the guards.
The guard, who was suspicious at first, looked at what the two of them said, and gradually loosened his frowning brow, and finally did not doubt it.
The two of them left, and a group of guards behind them watched them.
Within a few seconds, the guards who were the first to be suspicious looked at the other guards, frowned and asked, "That lord just now, are you familiar?" ”
They have been in the palace for many years, and the civil and military officials in the court naturally know each other, so they don't want to run into that adult, but now that they think about it carefully, he doesn't seem to know that adult.
When everyone heard him say this, they also thought about it carefully.
After a while, everyone frowned and said truthfully: "We don't seem to know that adult...... The person who claims to deliver food doesn't know him very well......"
Most of the people who came to the palace to deliver food were familiar, but today they don't know each other.
When the words fell, everyone's eyes immediately became vigilant.
"Quick! Catch up! That must be the one who infiltrated the palace! The guard keenly sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly chased after him with his sword.
And An Ruqing and the minister, who had already left, were hiding in a stable place at the moment.
An Ruqing gasped slightly, she looked down at the hand that had been held by the minister since she avoided the guard's eyes, she frowned and shook it off: "Who are you?" ”
She knows all the ministers of the public, but no minister dares to drink boldly in the palace, this person is obviously abnormal.
Hearing this, the minister raised his eyes and met An Ruqing's suspicious eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he tore off the human skin mask on his face.
"Moonlight?"
An Ruqing frowned and looked at Yueming, she thought that Yueming was looking for a place to relieve her emotions, but she didn't expect to see him in the palace now.
So in this way, isn't it that Yueming has been secretly following her all along?
If it weren't for that, how could he suddenly pretend to be a minister to save himself......
The more An Ruqing thought about it, the more wrong it became, and she frowned even more when she looked at the court clothes on Yueming's body, "You clothes...... Where did it come from? ”
Every minister's court clothes are kept at home, how can there be more of them in Yueming's hands, could it be that he can't see through the clothes of others!
Yueming was silent, he lowered his head, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "It's not from nowhere...... Don't you ask......"
Hearing this, An Ruqing didn't continue to ask, she turned to look elsewhere, thinking about how to find Mo Nanchen.
Yueming has been looking at her back since An Ruqing turned around, and the love in her eyes has not diminished, and it is still full of love.
He looked down at the court clothes on his body, and couldn't help but pull his lips silently and smile bitterly, the origin of this dress is related to his life experience.
Since the last time An Ruqing asked him about his life experience, he had already known his origin, he was the lost child of Dali Siqing's family, just because he didn't want to leave An Ruqing, he never recognized him.
Now, An Ruqing has come to the palace, and he has to recognize her for her, and now this dress is also from the family.
Yueming smiled bitterly, he did something really special for An Ruqing, but she didn't know anything.
Not only did he not know, but he didn't let him continue to like her......
Yueming sighed silently, suppressing the ripples in his heart, he stepped forward and approached An Ruqing, what he was thinking about now was just to help her.
