C14 It Was as If They Were Two People(1)
From the empress dowager to the ninth rank, there was always a hairpin. Even if the ninth rank didn't have any status or reward, they would at least carry a simple jade hairpin to express their identity.
The back of the person who dared to walk in such a manner didn't seem like a concubine at all. The guards at the entrance of the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Hall blocked Yan Hongye's path just as she was about to enter.
"Where did this wild girl come from, daring to trespass into the palace?!"
Yan Hongye instantly raised her gaze and looked at the two guards who were unfamiliar with her. Most likely, the guards in this palace weren't often at the Imperial Palace and they didn't go to the Royal Tomb a few days ago either, so she probably didn't know what Consort Yan looked like.
Under normal circumstances, the concubines who would be stopped would be arrogantly pinching their waists, scolding these two guards from head to toe. After that, they would rush into the emperor's arms and cry bitterly.
Not knowing what Consort Yan would do in the past, Yan Hongye thought about what she had secretly heard about Consort Yan in the past. In order to make her personality less obvious, she raised her head and scolded him angrily, "I'll go in to see His Majesty. Where are you going to barge in?"
The two guards were startled by her words and looked at her simple attire and the whip behind her that had yet to be tied up. They couldn't help but sneer: "Come on, where did all these little court ladies steal the clothes of this empress and forget to wave their hair around? With your pitiful appearance, you still dare to call yourself that?"
"Scram!" The temporary palace is not a place for you little girls to mess around! "
When Yan Hongye heard this, she finally understood the meaning behind Qingmann and Yuan Xiang's words. The two girls seemed to care about her, and even if she didn't express anything, the two girls could tell that she treated them well.
There were some records in the history books that were correct. The Emperor was not someone who could be seen just by talking to others. Then, two days ago, Human Devil personally fed him medicine and was so ambiguous. Didn't that mean she had earned something?
Yan Hongye originally wanted to persevere, but seeing the two guards' expression that was akin to that of evil Shura, she immediately curled her lips and turned away.
As soon as he turned around, his eyes began to shine brightly.
"Stunned wood!" Yan Hongye finally saw someone "familiar" with her. Although she was a familiar face to someone, she could at least prove her identity.
Lei Yu had a letter in his hand. When he heard Yan Hongye's shout, he was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at Consort Yan, who seemed to have changed completely.
Not only did His Majesty's personality have a drastic change, it even gave off the feeling of a person … It was as if he had become a completely different person.
At the same time, Lei Yu put the paper away in his sleeve, clenched his fist and coughed lightly. He quickly walked over and greeted Yan Hongye: "Consort Yan."
When the two guards outside the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan heard this, their bodies suddenly froze. When Yan Hongye turned her head to look at them with a smug expression, they instantly kneeled down and begged, "Your servant has eyes that fail to recognize Mt. Tai."
According to the guards in the palace, this legendary Consort Yan was merciless to the palace maids and eunuchs by her side. If anyone offended her, they would definitely die a horrible death.
"Empress, please spare our lives!" They did not beg for forgiveness, but instead, directly begged for mercy.
Yan Hongye immediately turned around and patted Lei Yu on the shoulder, "Thanks a lot!" With that said, he turned around and leisurely walked towards the gate of the East Palace with big steps.
As he passed by the gate, he glanced at the two guards who were kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely. With a cold snort, he raised his head and walked in.
The two guards stared at each other in shock.
He walked in just like that?
Not a single word of blame, not a single word about being pulled out …?
In the next moment, the two guards looked up and saw that the Iron Faced Imperial Guard, Sir Lei Yu, was standing stiffly on the spot as if he had seen a ghost. He was also staring at Consort Yan's back with a look of disbelief.
