Lan Gu stood up and said, "The palace may not be peaceful these days. It's not difficult to get in, but whether you can get out smoothly depends on your luck."
"Don't worry Lan Gu, you just need to send us in."
"You come with me," Lan Gu glanced at the three of them, "To enter the palace, the three of you must first recover your female bodies and enter as palace maids."
The corners of the mouths of the three people twitched. They had been pretending to be men for a long time, and this was the first time that anyone could see through them at a glance.
The corners of Lan Gu's lips curled up slightly, "It's not that you don't look alike, it's just that you have a woman's scent on you, which is a smell that men can never have."
"The keys to the palace are about to be released," she urged. "If you want to enter the palace, you must hurry."
The three of them quickly changed their clothes, followed Lan Gu into a carriage, and headed to the palace.
Arriving at a corner gate on the side of the palace, Lan Gu led the three of them out of the carriage, glanced at the deserted surroundings, and couldn't help but frowned: "It's not yet the time to drop the keys, and it should be the time when the most people return, so why?"
Will it be so quiet?"
Ye Fuxun glanced at Yan Yiyi and heard Yan Yiyi urge: "Since it's not yet time to drop the key, let's go in quickly to avoid causing trouble."
Lan Gu responded: "Don't worry, Lan Gu will never break her promise. Come with me."
The four of them walked to the corner door, only to hear Lan Gu knock a few times, and then the door was hurriedly opened.
The face of an old palace servant popped out from inside. He was full of surprise when he saw Lan Gu: "Lan Gu? Why are you here at this time?"
"Old Liu," Lan Gu said calmly, "Lu Shangyi asked me to send three singers to the palace, saying that they needed it urgently. No, I saw that it was still early, so I hurriedly sent them over."
"Send a singer?" Doubts flashed in the old servant's eyes. He glanced at the three people following him and said in a low voice, "When did Lu Shangyi ask you to send someone here? Today...it is absolutely impossible to ask for a song."
Ji Cai."
"It was just a few days ago." Lan Gu's heart skipped a beat, "You also know that Concubine Hui has to change singers from time to time. I finally trained a new one, so I sent her here."
"really?"
"Of course, I have never lied to you." Lan Gu said again, "If Concubine Hui loses her life as a singer, we will all be in trouble later."
The old servant took a breath: "Okay, then you guys come in quickly. Lan Gu, come out as soon as you send someone to Shangyi Bureau. I'm afraid it will be inappropriate if you are late."
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself."
Lan Gu led the three of them into the corner gate, lowered her head and walked for a while before whispering: "I'm afraid something is going to happen in the palace. Otherwise, the corner gate would not be closed to prevent entry and exit. If I were not familiar with the old servant guarding the gate,
I'm afraid I won't be able to send you in today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of guards walking by not far away.
Lan Gu hurriedly pulled the three of them to hide in a corner. After the guards passed by, she said in a deep voice: "Now that we have entered the palace, I have to go to the Shangyi Bureau to eliminate my suspicion. You can follow me and take the shortcut there, quickly.
"
I followed Lan Gu along the shortcut for about a cup of tea, and finally arrived in front of a palace.
The door was still closed. Lan Gu came forward and knocked on the door. A woman opened the door and answered: "Lan Shangyi, why are you here?"
"I have something urgent to do with Lu Shangyi." Lan Gu looked around and lowered her voice.
"You guys come in first." Everyone went in and waited by the door.
Not long after, a palace nun came out, took Lan Gu's hand and asked: "Sister Lan, why are you here today?"
Lan Gu: "Sister Lu, what happened? Why are the doors closed everywhere in the palace?"
Lu Shangyi looked solemn: "Sister Lan, I'm afraid things are going to change today..."
This sentence made Lan Gu tremble all over, and her expression flashed with panic: "It seems that today is not the right time."
"Sister Lan, please go back as soon as possible before the key to the palace gate is released." Lu Shangyi said, "Now that everyone is unable to protect themselves, we can only close the door and wait for news."
"Okay." Lan Gu nodded, turned to look at the three of them, "Let's go back."
After leaving the gate of Shangyi Bureau, Lan Gu looked at Yan Yiyi and Ye Fuxun: "There may be big changes in the palace, are you sure you want to stay here?"
"Yes." Yan Yiyi and Ye Fuxun responded in unison.
"You..." Lan Gu didn't understand why the three of them wanted to enter the palace, but this was not her biggest concern. "If you can't get out, how will I know the last medicinal ingredient in five days?"
"Don't worry, even if we can't get out, someone will tell you the last medicinal ingredient in five days." Yan Yiyi agreed.
Lan Gu took a deep breath and said, "That's all right. Take care of yourself." After saying that, she hurriedly left.
Everyone glanced at Lan Gu's back, and Yan Yiyi said: "It will get dark soon. Let's find a place with few people to hide. It will be much safer to do things after dark."
The three of them were very lucky and hid in a deserted side hall shortly after leaving Shangyi Bureau.
"Ji Yannuo and the others are alone and weak," Yan Yiyi said, "We have mobilized people from Yan Ge to secretly guard near the palace. If necessary, we will try to come in to provide support."
"My skills are quite good, and I have no problem keeping you two safe. So don't be afraid."
Ye Fuxun: "I am good at poison. I may not be good at fighting, but escaping is not a big problem."
Recently, I was caught by my uncle and learned various footwork. I can now run all over the mountains and plains of Bai Mao Mountain without being caught by my uncle.
In the words of her uncle, there would not be more than ten people in the world who wanted to stop her from escaping.
Qing Ling smiled sweetly: "Ling'er can use the invisibility technique at critical moments, but it can only last for one cup of tea at most."
Yan Yiyi put her hand on Qing Ling's shoulder, "This is an incredible skill! Just like your Aunt Ye, her poison skills are unrivaled in the world!"
"Ah Xun," Yan Yiyi thought of something, "What is the last medicinal ingredient?"
Ye Fuxun curled his lips: "Without the last medicinal ingredient, the detoxification prescription needs to be taken for twelve days to completely cure the disease."
The reason why there is still some medicinal materials is just to prevent Lan Gu from breaking the contract and not sending them to the palace after getting the prescription.
The five-day theory was to prevent Lan Gu from telling others about sending them to the palace.
For Zi Yuan's sake, Lan Gu could only hope that they would all come back from the palace intact.
Yan Yiyi gave Ye Fulun a complimenting look, and suddenly put her finger to her lips: "Someone is coming."
The three of them hid in a corner of the side hall. Soon they heard the sound of hurried footsteps and two eunuchs entered the room.
"Before dawn," one of them closed the door and whispered, "the fifth prince had someone open the palace door on the grounds that there were spies in the palace, and let in a group of soldiers stationed in the North City to patrol around the palace."
Another person shrank his neck: "The prince led troops into the palace just now, in the name of Qingjun... You said this day, could it be that things are going to change today?"
