Chapter 284 Obstacles

The old lady was a little confused at first, but then she understood, nodded and said: "That's right, you go quickly."

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Pei Xiner and said, "Ms. Pei, you come with me."

Pei Xiner was stunned for a moment, but then she realized what she was doing and nodded hurriedly without refusing.

Mrs. Zhao immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage. While handing over the sign, the two of them had already changed their clothes, got into the carriage, and drove directly towards the palace.

This is because I don't want to waste any time, even if I stay in front of the palace tonight, I still want to see the Queen's posture.

At this time, the street was already very deserted. Apart from the "creeping" sound of the carriage, there were only some faint voices coming from the walls on both sides, giving people a feeling of desolation and silence, and the heartbeat could not help but beat a little faster.

Suddenly, a group of officers and soldiers patrolling the city turned around from the front. When they saw the Zhao family's carriage, they immediately shouted sharply: "Who is it? Stop it quickly!"

Mrs. Zhao felt nervous and had to signal the coachman to stop. She heard the coachman say from the front: "This military master, we are from General Yongwei's Mansion. The person in the car is my wife, who is preparing to enter the palace."

Let’s go see the Queen and hope that the military master will let you go!”

The officer looked at the sign on the carriage and found that it was indeed from General Yongwei's Mansion. He couldn't help but immediately stood in awe, bowed and saluted: "It turns out that Madam is here, I am polite to you. Madam is going to the palace to see the Queen, I am your Majesty."

I don’t dare to stop you, but I wonder if Madam has proof of being summoned by the Queen? If not, Madam also knows that you are not allowed to travel casually after dark, so please forgive me for being rude."

Mrs. Zhao secretly screamed in her heart. They had just handed over the sign. Even if the Queen agreed to see them immediately, it would not have been conveyed to them so quickly. Where would they find proof now?

With Zhao Yuchang's status, when he was here, let alone this hour, no one would dare to stop him even if he went out in the middle of the night. The so-called rules are just for ordinary people to abide by. For people of their status

It has no deterrent effect. But today they were stopped. Is it really a coincidence?

This can only further prove that there is a force involved in the case that is plotting against their Zhao family!

Mrs. Zhao's face darkened. She looked at Pei Xin'er and then said, "I went to see the Queen. Naturally, the Queen gave her permission. How could I make something up out of thin air? The Queen only has oral instructions, so how can I prove it to you?"

?If you are wise, get out of the way quickly, otherwise you will delay the Queen’s business. Can you still bear this head?!"

However, the officer did not panic and did not give in at all, saying: "Madam, please forgive me. Just now, the official also said that this is the rule of the superior. I am just following the order. Madam, I understand the truth."

I think people will not find it difficult to get down from office."

Pei Xin'er frowned at the side - it seemed that the other party would not let her and others enter the palace to ask for help no matter what. And looking at the officer's confident look, he was not at all frightened by Mrs. Zhao's words. It was obvious that she was handing over

Whether the sign that goes up will reach the Queen's hands is unknown.

Through the gap in the car curtain, she saw the weapons in the hands of the soldiers reflecting the faint moonlight and exuding a cold breath. She couldn't help but tremble in her heart. She reached out and pulled the sleeve of Mrs. Zhao who still wanted to argue with them, and said to them.

She shook her head and winked.

Mrs. Zhao stopped as soon as the words reached her lips, biting her lower lip in frustration and humiliation. Her eyes were full of anger. Although she lost her husband early in life, her husband died to protect her family and country. In addition,

With the merits and prestige accumulated by the Zhao family for generations, no one even a widowed person dared to disrespect her in person. Unexpectedly, she was blocked on the road by a small junior officer here, and was treated so rudely.

It was a huge insult to her.

Pei Xiner looked at her with some worry, fearing that she might burst out of anger. The two of them, women, were completely vulnerable in front of this group of soldiers. If something unexpected happened, they would probably not be able to bear it.

People can save them!

The other party was actually able to mobilize the soldiers patrolling the city, and the power was far beyond her expectation.

Fortunately, although Mrs. Zhao was angry, she did not lose her mind because of this. After a short silence, she finally said angrily: "Okay, very good! Since you said so, what else do I have to say? But

Remember, you delayed the Queen's errand today, if there is any trouble in the future, don't blame me for not telling you!"

The officer cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, ma'am. I'm just following orders. If there is any criticism in the future, I will take it upon myself."

Pei Xiner pulled Mrs. Zhao's sleeves again and shook her head again. Mrs. Zhao had to hold back the breath and said to the coachman bitterly: "Let's go back!"

The coachman had already been frightened to his feet by the tense atmosphere. After hearing this, he hurriedly climbed onto his seat, pulled the horse, turned the car, and drove towards the general's mansion.

Pei Xin'er sat in the car, secretly opened the curtains at the back and looked outside. She saw that the officer's face was a little uncertain in the moonlight, as if he was hesitating about something. She couldn't help but feel tense and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Fortunately, it was not until they drove back to the general's mansion that everything was safe and without any accidents. She was greatly relieved. When she came to her senses, she realized that her back was soaked with cold sweat.

Pursing her lips and getting out of the car, Mrs. Zhao stood there in shock for a long time, then suddenly turned her head to look at Pei Xiner and said, "You should have a way to see the emperor without alerting anyone, right?"

Pei Xiner was stunned and startled. She couldn't help but raise her head and look directly at Mrs. Zhao, speechless.

Mrs. Zhao's eyes exuded a fierce light. She looked at her for a moment, and her whole body was filled with awe-inspiring aura. Suddenly, she showed the temperament and majesty that a dignified lady of the General's Mansion should have, and she was usually gentle and kind.

She is completely different.

Pei Xin'er couldn't help but shudder - indeed, anyone who can become a general's wife is not an ordinary person!

She no longer dared to hide anything, hesitated for something, lowered her head slightly, and nodded.

After Zhao Yucheng was injured at the hunting ground last time, he gave her some hidden clues in his hand so that she could make timely arrangements and adjustments if something unexpected happened again.

I never thought it would come in handy so soon.

Mrs. Zhao didn't ask what methods she had, and just said solemnly: "Use the resources in your hands immediately to ask for an audience with the emperor. Since they care so much, they will use any means to prevent us from entering the palace to ask for help. It can be seen that the situation is extremely critical and there can be no further delay."

You must see the emperor tonight, otherwise the general's palace will be in danger!"

It's not just the General's Mansion that is in danger! Pei Xin'er said in her heart, the sense of crisis in her heart getting stronger, she didn't say anything more, nodded, bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

She did not return to her yard, but came to the front yard where Zhao Yuchang lived. After a while, several boys ran out from the yard, while she sat in the front hall, quietly

While drinking tea, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

After all, this is the first time she has used these hidden clues. The exact result will not be known until the moment it is revealed, and she is not sure that she will definitely be able to see the emperor.

Time passed by, and after she had been sitting for more than an hour, a servant suddenly came from outside the door, bowed and said, "Auntie, everything is done, please come with me."

Her heart immediately started beating wildly, and for a moment she couldn't believe that she had actually done it! But she had experienced strong winds and waves, and she quickly calmed down, then looked at the boy and clicked

He nodded and said, "Lead the way."

She took Ying'er and followed the boy out of the corner door, changed into civilian clothes, put on a hat, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye without anyone noticing.

In the darkness, she followed the boy through different alleys, turning left and right, until she lost her sense of direction, and couldn't help but worry about gain and loss. Where was he going to take her?

Why haven't you stopped after walking for so long?

Ying'er was so frightened that her feet were a little weak. She wanted to call Pei Xin'er but couldn't speak. She couldn't help but quietly held the corner of her clothes, her hands and feet were trembling slightly.

His face was green and white in the darkness, which was very eye-catching.

Finally, a few people walked into a house, and saw that it was a very ordinary house. From the outside, there was nothing strange about it, but the boy opened the door and opened the door like an old horse who knows the way.

He walked in and walked past the family who was eating as if there was no one around. Pei Xiner followed him and walked past.

While at the dinner table, I was surprised to find that the whole family, including the next year's child, seemed to be collectively blind. They completely turned a blind eye to the people walking by, as if these people did not exist at all. They

The arrival did not have any impact on them, as if they were all transparent.

With an extremely weird mood, Pei Xin'er followed the young man to the back where the bedroom should be. The door was closed tightly, but the lamp was lit inside. The young man stopped at the door, bowed and said, "Young man, just

Now that you can get here, Aunt Pei, please come in."

Pei Xiner couldn't help being stunned, stopped in her tracks, and asked, "Who is in there?"

But the boy refused to say anything and said respectfully: "I don't even know, I will know it when Aunt Pei goes in."

Pei Xiner took a deep breath, suppressed her thundering heartbeat, and forced herself to relax and not be so nervous. However, her mood at the moment was beyond her control. She adjusted several times to no avail, so she had no choice but to push away.
