fake emperor

Qin Zuo stayed in the study for a whole month, and today Wang Jin finally persuaded her to leave the room with a runny nose and tears.

"Your Majesty, you stay in the study all day, and I'm afraid you'll be bored. Why don't I accompany you to the Imperial Garden?" Wang Jin said expectantly.

Qin Zuo stood at the door of the study, his eyes squinted by the warm winter sun, and he grinned, showing his neat and white teeth.

"Let's go." As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Jin immediately swayed.

"No need, I'll go shopping by myself." Qin Zuo touched the map in her arms, she didn't believe that she would get lost.

Spending days in the imperial study for a month in a row, reading those official documents all day made her dizzy, but she persisted in the end, and now she has a preliminary understanding of the situation in the office and the vestibule.

Wei Zhong seldom bothered her, and when he saw her occasionally, he looked disdainful, and Qin Zuo didn't bother to talk to him. She read a sentence from a book: "A sparrow knows the ambition of a great swan." So she didn't want to talk to her. The chick cares too much.

But I heard from Wang Jin that the Empress Dowager Zhu gave her high praise after knowing her behavior, which made her even more energetic. Even eating was settled in the imperial study. If Wang Jin didn't stop her, she might have to stay in the imperial study. sleep.

"I'm really touched by myself." With a mutter in his mouth, he walked out slowly.

Even if Wang Jin didn't persuade her today, she was ready to go out. Tomorrow that bearded man would come to offer pills, and she had to add the last layer of protection for herself.

"The imperial garden is here... This is the north gate... Where am I?" Qin Zuo squatted in a corner where no one was around, laying the map on the ground, frowning, and pointing fingers.At this time, she was not wearing the clothes just now, but a eunuch's clothes.If she was wearing the emperor's clothes, she estimated that Wei Zhong would know where she had gone at night, and there could be no mistakes in this matter.

However, she got lost again.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally attributed the cause of getting lost to the inaccuracy of the map, and finally felt a little better in his heart.He stood up abruptly, and there was a road under his nose. The north and south of the river didn't bother me, how could a mere imperial palace make me dizzy?I still don't believe it!

He folded the map casually and put it in his arms, then walked out.After walking for about half a stick of incense, I saw a little eunuch passing by. This must not be let go.She suddenly jumped in front of the little eunuch and shouted: "Stop."

The little eunuch was on his way in a hurry, when he heard the sound suddenly, he sat down on the ground in fright.

Qin Zuo pouted, the eunuch is too timid, she lifted him up with one hand, patted the dust on his clothes, and said with a smile: "How do you get to the north gate?"

The little eunuch was the lowest rank in the palace. As soon as he looked at the eunuch's uniform on Qin Zuo's body, he immediately pointed the way courteously.It wasn't until after seeing Qin Zuo away that he said to himself: "I don't know if this is the new godson of some adult. If you don't know the road, you have a higher position than me."

Fortunately, Qin Zuo didn't hear this sentence, otherwise he would be so angry that he would spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

As the little eunuch said, she walked for a stick of incense before seeing the shadow of the north gate, thinking that she must have gone in the wrong direction just now, otherwise it would not have taken so long, and she was once again speechless about her sense of direction.

"Stop, who's from the palace? Is there a pass order?" As soon as Qin Zuo approached the north gate, he was stopped by a black-faced guard with a knife.

Qin Zuo put a finger on the scabbard to push it out, but she found that she couldn't push it, and the face of the black-faced guard was getting darker, so she wisely gave up.He took out a golden token, made of pure gold, with the word '御' written on it, the black-faced guard saw it, and immediately took it with both hands.

"I don't know what the father-in-law ordered?" The black-faced guard returned the token to Qin Zuo, speaking very politely, and his tone was still neither humble nor overbearing.Qin Zuo nodded secretly, and said: "I am ordered by Your Majesty to find General Su Lang."

This General Su Lang is the man who stopped Wei Zhong when she first entered the palace. She wanted to find someone who was not afraid of Wei Zhong, but it seemed that Wei Zhong had been rooted in the palace for decades. Are you afraid of him?Finally, in a flash of inspiration, he thought of General Su Lang.

She also went out of her way to find out that this Su Lang will be called Su Qingyun, and he is also the younger brother of the imperial concubine Su Shi.Two years ago, he was named General Lang and led a guard team of one hundred people. It happened to be his turn to guard the north gate today.There are a total of six guards in the palace, and there are also six generals. Fortunately, Wei Zhong called his last name that day, otherwise she really couldn't be sure.

The black-faced guard withdrew his knife and said, "Elder-in-law, please wait a moment." Then he turned and left, Qin Zuo waited patiently for a while, and then saw the black-faced guard coming with a boy with a Chinese face.

"Weichen..." As soon as the voice came to mind, Qin Zuo knew that he had made the right mistake. This person was the guard Su who stopped Wei Zhong back then.He hurriedly stopped his next words, and said with a smile: "General Su Lang, can you take a step to speak?"

Su Qingyun hid the horror on his face, smiled unnaturally, and raised his hand: "Please."

Qin Zuo followed him to a secluded place away from the eyeliner, Su Qingyun clasped his fists and said, "See Your Majesty."

"Exemption." Qin Zuo originally wanted to ask him why he could recognize him at a glance, but then he thought, Su Qingyun is not an ordinary person, the Su family is a giant, and this Su Qingyun is the son of the Su family, how could he not have seen Tianyan?

Su Qingyun straightened up, wondering what His Majesty's intention of coming here in disguise was in his heart, after all he was young, his thoughts were all on his face, Qin Zuo understood it with a glance.

She patted Su Qingyun's shoulder and said seriously: "Qingyun, I have a glorious and arduous task for you now, can you do it?"

Su Qingyun was startled for a moment, and then excitedly clasped his fists and said: "Minister, I will never hesitate to die." He is a young man, and he has been guarding the gate of this unchanging palace for two years. A good family education makes him do his best, but it does not mean that he likes it.He is also a military general, he only wants to make contributions, but he doesn't want to stay in the door for the rest of his life.This time His Majesty personally sought him out, it was very important to think about it, if he could do it himself, he might be able to request to join the army.

Qin Zuo was very satisfied with his attitude, so he leaned over and whispered something in his ear, only to see Su Qingyun's eyes opened wider and wider, and after Qin Zuo finished speaking, he looked at him with an unbelievable expression. looking at her.

"What?" Qin Zuo said with a stern face, "Can't do it?"

"No!" Su Qingyun said excitedly: "Chen, I will never give up!"

Only then did Qin Zuo smile, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Don't tell anyone about this."

"It's natural, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Su Qingyun's expression was agitated, and he slapped his chest, as if he couldn't express his determination otherwise.

Of course Qin Zuo believed in the person he chose, and seeing him like this made me feel much more at ease.Clenching her fist, this is the first step she has taken, and there must be no accidents, otherwise there will be no way to go.

She instructed Su Qingyun again, and was about to go back to the Palace of Longevity, but when she was about to leave, she saw a black-faced guard coming this way with a maidservant.

The palace maid looked very ordinary, and she was the kind who couldn't be found among the crowd. She only glanced away and looked away, but saw the joy in Su Qingyun's eyes.Nodding to Su Qingyun with a smirk, he turned and left, missing the shocked look in the palace maid's eyes when she saw her.

"Sister, why are you here?" After dismissing the black-faced guards, Su Qingyun jumped in front of the servant girl, smiling all over her face, revealing two small canine teeth.

The palace maid stroked a strand of his hanging hair, and then said with a smile: "Didn't your leg hurt a few days ago? Recently, there happened to be a hundred-year-old ginseng as a tribute. I took a few back to my mother. return."

"It turns out that sister didn't come to see me specially?" Su Qingyun said pretending to be resentful.

The palace maid was amused by him, she patted him lightly with a smile, then looked at the direction in which someone was leaving, she smiled and said worriedly: "He..."

Su Qingyun became excited again when he thought of the task Qin Zuo gave him just now, but he kept in mind the advice of 'no one can tell', he waved his hands quickly, and said, "Sister, don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

The palace maid saw that he looked like he was flying to the sky and knew it was definitely not a bad thing, but that man had a bad relationship with the Su family, and for some reason he came to look for his younger brother, and he was still dressed like that for fear of people knowing.But she didn't want to say anything more, she just told Su Qingyun to be careful in everything.

Qin Zuo lowered his head weakly, the map in his hand fluttered and finally returned to the embrace of the earth.She has walked around this place three times, but she still hasn't gone out. She began to wonder if there is some five elements and eight trigrams formation here, trapping her.

Gritting his teeth, he picked up the map, saw that there was no one around, and simply sat down on the ground, and began to deliberate.

"I came from here...and then passed by like this...and..." Qin Zuo picked up a small stone and muttered while drawing on the ground.

"What are you doing?" A voice like the sound of heaven sounded, Qin Zuo raised his head and met a pair of water-like eyes.

The maid took a step back, she thought it was some little eunuch, but she didn't want to be this person.She raised her eyebrows, looked at the map in the man's hand, and then got back to what she had just muttered.So, this is, lost?

"Then what..." Qin Zuo stood up in embarrassment. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable being looked at by such eyes. She raised the map in her hand and said softly, "The map is not very accurate."

Seeing her aggrieved look, the palace maid unexpectedly took the map over and looked at it, it was obviously the most standard map.Glancing at the map and then at Qin Zuo, Qin Zuo's ears turned red from embarrassment.

"Ahem..." She also knew that the map could not be inaccurate, thinking that the servant girl didn't know her anyway, so she said cheekily, "Do you know how to get to the Palace of Eternal Life?"

Then he added a guilty conscience: "I'm new here, I don't know the way."

The palace maid looked at her in surprise, and after a long time, she pointed at the map a few times and said, "Go in this direction." The voice was soft and gentle, blowing through people's hearts like a spring breeze.

Qin Zuo's heart skipped a beat, he grabbed her who was about to leave, and when she turned around, he smiled embarrassedly: "Can you take me there?"
