Chapter 137 Your life can only be taken by me
After more than half a month, the early winter chill finally spread across the entire Cangyue Continent. The Xuanhuang Imperial City was in turmoil. There were different opinions as to whether Emperor Xuanhui was still alive. The political situation in Xuanhuang was unstable and precarious.
After traveling for more than half a month, Yun Jingman finally stepped into Xuanhuang Imperial City. She was exhausted and said to Fang Jin behind her: "Let's find an inn to rest for a while. I will dress up before entering the palace."
"I'll wait for your instructions, Her Majesty." Fang Jin said respectfully.
The five of them stopped at an inn, dismounted their horses and walked into the inn. "Boss, prepare some wine and food, and open a first-class room," Fang Jin shouted.
"Okay."
Yun Jingman walked to the table, lifted her skirt, and walked down. The other four stood behind her, standing straight and motionless.
Yun Jingman frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't you sit down?"
"Your Majesty, we have different identities." Fang Jin leaned close to Yun Jingman's ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Sit down, I don't have so many rules. Besides, this will attract attention." Yun Jingman said indifferently.
Fang Jin thought about it and realized what Yun Jingman said was true, so he motioned for the other three to sit down. The five of them sat around a table, Yun Jingman was drinking by himself, and the other four were still a little restrained.
After a while, the dishes were served one after another. Perhaps it was time for dinner, and more people came to the inn, making a lot of noise and bustle.
Yun Jingman started to eat calmly and elegantly. At Fang Jin's signal, the other three also started to eat, but they only ate the white rice. Yun Jingman ignored them.
The five of them were silent. Two men, one fat and one thin, came to the next table, right next to Yun Jingman's table.
"Hey, have you heard?" Passerby A.
"What did you hear? Is there anything new?" Passerby B.
"I'll tell you in secret, there's a rumor in the palace that our emperor seems to..." Passerby A put his hand across his neck, making a dead gesture.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh. How dare you say such things? Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?" Passerby B said in horror.
Although both of them tried to lower their voices, their words still reached Yun Jingman's ears as he had his back to them. Upon hearing those words, Yun Jingman, who was holding the chopsticks, suddenly paused, his heart beating wildly. Was this the reason for the uneasy feeling he had been having on the road?
"I'm not talking nonsense. Everyone in the palace knows it. My sister is a maid in the palace." Passerby A patted his chest and assured.
He held the chopsticks in one hand and the bowl in the other, and kept doing that for a quarter of an hour. When he saw the dishes in front of him and could no longer eat them, Yun Jingman put down the chopsticks and bowl in his hands with a "pop".
He said coldly: "Go back to the palace." He could not stay any longer. His heart was in a mess and noisy, and he could not have a moment of peace.
Regardless of the fact that her face was covered in dust, her hair was messy, and her face was unkempt, she jumped on her horse, trampled the dirt, and rushed all the way to the palace...
In front of the palace gate.
"Who is coming?" The guards at the gate intercepted Yun Jingman and his group of five. The security was tight and the atmosphere was a bit more tense than before. Everything seemed unusual.
"I am the Empress Consort Qing, please get out of the way." Yun Jingman said in a cold tone.
"The Concubine Qing is safe in the palace, don't pretend to be her." The guard sneered. Indeed, the people in the palace did not know that Baili Haoxuan had taken Yun Jingman to Yecheng.
"Go to Qingyue Palace and call Chu'er." Yun Jingman said angrily, not wanting to have another word with these lackeys. His heart was restless.
Baili Haoxuan, your life can only be taken by me!
After Chu'er came out and confirmed Yun Jingman's identity, Yun Jingman sent Fang Jin and his four companions back and asked him to tell Beitang Yuan that she was fine.
Yun Jingman followed Chu'er into the palace and felt a depressing and heavy atmosphere. He saw many guards patrolling with serious expressions and the palace servants were also speaking less.
