Chapter 58 Peeping
However, it doesn't make sense.Why are An Guogong and the old lady so close.

Especially the old lady, she is a very suspicious person by nature, she is ashamed of herself.However, even she will spend money to investigate.According to the temperament of the old lady, she should be more cautious.

There is also Mr. An, who has always attached great importance to Junzixiu. Her two sons combined are not as important as Junzixiu's finger. How can she be so sloppy in matters of life?Any poor woman who came to her door and accepted her as her daughter-in-law without even asking?
This incident is strange.

She needs to check it out.

The breakthrough point is Bai Lan's true identity.

"No, you don't have to wait until you come back from the palace. You can do it now. Take 10 taels of silver from my dowry box and give it to Qianji Pavilion. Tell them to pour out everything in their stomachs!"

"Yes, the servant will go here."

Mingyu got out of the carriage and left in the middle of the journey. Because she was a maid, she didn't attract anyone's attention.

Mrs. An Guogong in the carriage sneered and said to herself: "An Guogong's mansion can only belong to her son."That woman, who didn't argue with her when she was alive, can't take advantage of her even if she is dead.

Bai Lan was in the carriage, and suddenly covered her mouth with a veil and sneezed.

The old lady was concerned: "Did Lan'er catch a cold?"

Bai Lan shook her head quickly, "No, no, maybe there is dust in her nose, Lan'er is fine."

"That's good, you will be entering the palace soon, you follow grandma and play by ear," the old lady instructed.

"Lan'er save it." Bai Lan looked submissive.

……

The walls of the imperial palace were half a zhang higher than the walls of Xiaocheng, as if they were going to soar into the sky.

Bai Lan opened the curtain of the car and looked up at the vermilion palace wall of the palace. The palace wall was covered with gilded glazed tiles, showing the glory and dignity of the royal family.

Praetorians in golden armor, holding golden guns, paced and patrolled around the palace walls.Hearing the neat footsteps from a distance, one can't help but feel awe.

The duty of these people, worthy of respect, is to protect.

The carriage drove to the vermilion palace gate, but the guards guarding the palace gate blocked the carriage.

The old lady showed the handbook of the queen who entered the palace to the guards.

Bright yellow brocade silk, embroidered with a phoenix pattern that only the queen can use, with a few strokes in the middle.Bai Lan couldn't read the words clearly, so she could probably guess it. It was nothing more than the words ordering them to enter the palace.

After reading it, the imperial guard returned the handbook to the old lady, "Don't be surprised by the old lady, you are also obeying orders in a lowly position, please enter the palace."

The old lady said: "It should, Abi—"

Abi, who was sitting in front of the carriage, immediately took out a plain purse from her sleeve and handed it to the guard, "Master Hardworking, my old lady's kindness, please drink some tea."

The imperial guard took the purse and cupped his fists at the old lady, "Thank you, old lady."

The carriage continued on.

When passing through the palace gate, Bai Lan suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if someone was watching her.She was startled in her heart, but her face didn't change, she only held Xiaojing's hand tightly.

That sense of voyeurism quickly disappeared.

Bai Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

And the original curiosity about the vermilion wall, because of this strange feeling, added an extra layer of vigilance.

Along the long red-walled palace road paved with white jade bricks, the guards in golden armor walked almost a hundred meters, and they could see a team, as well as people who came to check their carriages. Let go.

"Grandma, are the guards in the palace so strict?" Bai Lan asked.

The old lady also showed confusion, "No, it wasn't like this before."

 Good night (*^__^*)~
