Chapter 57
But in this way, the problem came again, that is, if Concubine Shu didn't give her real waist card, why did she go to great lengths to make a fake waist card?
This matter is definitely not easy!
Chu Qinglan's heart skipped a beat, she suddenly figured out what was going on, and exclaimed, "No, I've been fooled!"

He didn't have time to think about anything else at the moment, and hurriedly turned and ran towards the palace gate.

As she expected, just outside the palace gate, she saw from a distance that the palace gate, which was originally wide open, was now tightly closed, and there were dozens of guards stationed outside the gate.

open it! "Chu Qinglan shouted sharply.

The guard guarding the palace gate came over immediately.

The guard was dressed in black and red, with a long sword on his waist, and shouted coldly at her: "Who are you? This is the most important place in the imperial city, you can open it just by asking!"

When Chu Qinglan heard the words, she immediately looked at the guard, only to see that the guard had a very serious face.

She believed that she often came in and out on weekdays, and she had seen most of the guards in the palace, but she had never seen these unfamiliar faces before her.

Are these guards new here?

She secretly kept an eye on her mind, and said, "I am Chu Qinglan, Princess Qing, with this status, do you think I am qualified enough to ask you to open the palace gate?"

Originally, he thought that as long as he revealed his identity, the other party would retreat immediately, so he opened the palace door obediently.

Unexpectedly, after the guards heard this, not only did they not intend to open the palace gate for her, but they burst out laughing.

"You said you were the eldest princess of Qing, why didn't you say you were the queen of Qing, hahaha..."

"That is, if you are the eldest princess, then I am the emperor!"

"That's right, when our brothers are blind? Hmph..."

Everyone laughed and laughed at each sentence, and the words were extremely ugly.

Hearing this, Chu Qinglan felt furious, and hummed, "I am Princess Qing, why don't you believe me?"

"It's not impossible for us to believe it, so please show us your waist badge now, princess."

It's just a waist card, she always carries it with her.

At the moment, he was also unambiguous, and reached into his waist pocket to take out the waist card.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand reached into the pocket of her usual waistband, her pupils shook violently.

"Where's my badge?"

She remembered that she had brought the belt badge on her body when she left the palace before, why is it gone now?
Her thoughts quickly came back, and soon she remembered that when she met the group of masked men outside the palace gate, there was a masked man threatening to approach her.

At that time, she thought that the other party wanted to kill her, so she was only concerned with guarding against the long sword in the other party's hand, but did not notice anything else.

Now that she thought about it carefully, she finally realized something was wrong.

"Damn it, it must have been stolen!"

Thinking of this, she couldn't tell how angry she was.

Now that I don't have a waist card, I'm afraid I won't be able to prove my identity anymore.

In desperation, she had no choice but to put on a polite look, and begged the guards: "Please let me in, please, I am really the eldest princess."

"Since it's the eldest princess, why don't you show your waist card?"

"My badge was stolen."

"If you don't have a badge, then you can't prove that you are the eldest princess. If you can't prove your identity, then who knows whether you are the eldest princess or an assassin."

What he said was a bit sharp, and the other party's tone made it clear that he regarded her as an assassin.

She knew that the gate of the palace was heavily guarded, so she returned her anger with anger, and she didn't care about them on the surface, but said in the next best thing: "You don't believe my identity, so you don't want me to go in, please help me Go and call Prime Minister Zuo over to the head office, right?"

The guard immediately snorted coldly through his nostrils: "Let's not talk about the honorable Prime Minister Zuo, can we brothers meet each other, and you are a dead girl of unknown origin, why should we call for you?" Left side."

Hearing these words, she couldn't help getting angry anymore: "This is not allowed, and that is not allowed, I think you are deliberately not letting me in!"

The guard stopped hiding, and said directly: "So what if you don't want to let you in on purpose? With you alone, it's possible that you can fly in with your wings!"

Although what she said was not straightforward, but her mind was as keen as hers, and she could hear the implication as soon as she heard it.

Sure enough, as she had guessed before, the guards in front of her must have been bribed by someone early on, so they deliberately refused to let her in.

It's just that she can't figure out why the people behind her want to trap her outside the palace, is there some kind of trap waiting for her?
Now he can't advance or retreat, and he doesn't know what dangers are waiting for him in the future.

After thinking over and over again, she asked: "It's fine not to let me in, but you can always tell me that the time to release the key has not yet come, so why did you close the palace gate at this time?"

The guards did not hide this, and responded openly: "The news from the palace is that nobleman Yuluo has some valuables stolen by a servant in the palace who does not know how to live or die. I personally ordered the gates of the palace to be sealed, and no one else is allowed to enter or leave at will."

When she heard this, her willow-leaf eyebrows couldn't help but frown.

Yu Luo is now the emperor's favorite concubine, and the palace has always been strict, how can an ordinary servant have the courage to steal things? , It seems that the so-called stolen things are just a cover.

What the other party really wanted was to use this pretense to persuade the emperor to close the palace gate in advance so that she, the eldest princess, would be kept out.

After all, it is absolutely impossible to break into the palace by force, because once she breaks in, she will be immediately taken to prison as an assassin.

"This trick kills two birds with one stone is really powerful!" After figuring out all the checkpoints, she couldn't help secretly admiring the strategy of the person behind it.

After admiring it, he thought: "I think they must have set up a trap somewhere outside the palace waiting for me!"

She basically has a conclusion in her heart, but she still can't figure out what kind of trap the other party has arranged.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, she didn't make arrangements for this trip at all.

Thinking of this, Chu Qinglan decided to take one step at a time, turned around and walked elsewhere.

She originally wanted to find a random inn to spend the night before talking about it, but then she thought about the people coming and going in the inn, if Concubine Shu's people were in ambush in the inn early, wouldn't her going there be like sending a sheep to a tiger's mouth?
Since she couldn't go to the inn, she decisively changed her mind and turned to head towards a ruined temple in the suburbs.

After walking for several miles like this, when she came to a ruined temple in the western suburbs, it was already dark.

Considering that there were few people here and the surroundings were dark and silent, she didn't dare to go in right away, but quickly took out the fire pocket from her sleeve.

First polish the fire folder, and then take advantage of the faint light on the fire folder to walk towards the ruined temple step by step.

The dilapidated temple is very big, but because it has not been repaired for a long time, it is full of dilapidated things, and few people come here on weekdays, so that even the door is covered with spider webs, and it will be blocked as soon as you walk in. Tangled up.Moreover, the spider silk seemed to be dyed with some spices, and it smelled a faint fragrance.

But she couldn't take care of cleaning the spider silk at this moment, because at this moment, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a man standing under the Buddha statue in the room.

The man was wearing a dark blue double-breasted satin and golden silk auspicious cloud pattern court dress,

Standing quietly under the Buddha statue with his back facing her.

The familiar color of the man's clothes made her recognize it almost at a glance: it's Mo Beiyu!

She was both surprised and delighted in an instant, and was so happy for a moment that she couldn't care about distinguishing the truth from the fake, so she pulled up her legs and rushed into the room.

"Bei Yu, why are you here?"

At the same time as she asked, she had already run into the house.

It's just that her figure is fast, and her reaction is also fast.

So that almost as soon as she jumped behind that person, she immediately noticed something was wrong.

"No, it's not him!"

It's a pity that it was already too late when she found out.

"Mo Beiyu" immediately turned his head in her direction leisurely, while smiling coldly: "Sister Lan, I won't see you for a while, why don't you even recognize me."

Why is this voice so familiar? !
Is the other party——

Chu Qinglan's mind froze, she thought of something in a daze, she was so frightened that she hurriedly looked at the man opposite her.

The moment she saw the man's face clearly, she was so shocked that her eyeballs almost dropped, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wei Xiu, it's you!"
