Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Beijing-Yaoguangmen

Jiang Sile sat on the carriage with creaking wheels with a tired look on his face. The good horse kept steaming from its nostrils, and its hooves scratched the ground uneasily. The groom sitting in front of the carriage waved a slender whip with one hand. Pulling the reins, he concentrated on driving the car out of the crowd at the city gate.

The groom frowned fiercely and thought to himself: What kind of Buddhist temple fair is today? Why are so many people crowded on this street?

There were many more people falling than usual, making the carriage more and more difficult to move.

After passing this street intersection and reaching the main city road, the number of pedestrians gradually became less and less. The coachman wiped the sweat from his forehead, flicked the reins, and the carriage, which was originally at a turtle speed, began to gallop towards the royal city.

The carriage began to slow down about half a mile from the entrance of the palace. The naked eye could see that the protection everywhere was stricter. The patrol guards in black armor and holding long guns swept over with keen eyes. The groom's expression froze and he pulled the carriage to a stop gradually.

After the carriage stopped, the coachman leaned back, turned around and opened a corner of the curtain, and said to the nobleman inside: "Nobleman, we have arrived at the edge of the imperial city. There is no place for this old slave to go further inside. You Please get off the carriage first."

"Okay", Jiang Sile nodded, "You can go home directly, there is no need to wait any longer."

"Yes, noble man." The groom leaned over and opened the curtain of the carriage for Jiang Sile.

Jiang Sile got off the carriage alone. She didn't take A Yi with her on this trip, nor did she take her guards with her.

As the saying goes, once a child gets old again, Jiang Sile is no longer afraid of going out alone. Her eyes or other concerns gradually disappeared.

"Yo" The carriage made a circle and gradually headed towards the road it came from.

Jiang Sile stood alone at the edge of the imperial city. She frowned slightly and was thinking about how to get in. Whether it is to find Princess Anhe again or find someone to communicate with Chongan, it seems not difficult.

While she was hesitating, someone shouted her name.

"Your Highness, Your Highness... Your Highness, why did you bring a bodyguard? Those people who live on a diet of corpses should really be stuffed into a dog hole..."

Jiang Sile raised his head and looked at the man, his eyes suddenly widened.

It's true that Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived.

She was just thinking about how to contact Chong'an, but she didn't expect this man to come to her door like this. “How did Mr. Chong’an know that I was coming?”

A trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Sile's eyes and he asked bluntly. After the red guard disappeared, Jiang Sile had no channel to exchange information with the palace. If she doesn't know anything about the capital, then generally speaking, it's difficult for people in the capital to know her whereabouts.

But there are always omissions in everything. Maybe there is someone in her brother's secrets, but it is not convenient to expose it directly; or maybe the people around her leaked the news...

"Your Majesty is looking forward to His Majesty's return every day. Maybe it's the brother-sister relationship between Your Majesty and His Majesty that moves heaven..."

Jiang Sile glanced at him and thought to himself: People who have stayed in the power field of the palace for a long time have become cunning.

But she thought again, since her brother also wanted to see him, something must have happened.

Jiang Sile didn't have time to think, and said directly to Chong'an: "Then take Gu to see His Majesty..."

Chong'an raised his hand to guide her, and they walked straight into the vermilion city gate. The guards around them were all loyal to their duties, and no one dared to look at her.

When he entered the gate of the palace, there was a luxurious and exquisite carriage covered by golden curtains, waiting aside.

Jiang Sile glanced at Chong'an, as if he had doubts but didn't say anything.

Chong'an just smiled and said nothing, and helped Jiang Sile get on the gorgeous carriage with his hands.

After Jiang Sile sat firmly in the car, Chongan also sat halfway in the car and held the reins with one hand.

It’s getting weirder and weirder, Jiang Sile thought.

Whether Jiang Yi knew about her arrival in advance, or whether this powerful father-in-law, who was trusted by the emperor, came to drive her in person, all this behavior seemed a bit strange.

If it weren't for Jiang Sile's close friendship with Chong'an, she could have regarded this scene as a strange and weird story. (End of chapter)
