Princess Haiyan's carriage was moving fast in the middle of the night, and the faster it went, the slower it went.

Overnight, checkpoints were built like a forest in the capital, and even the Dongyu Guards were dispatched to guard the official roads and palace gates.

This level is exactly Dongyuwei.

Bei Hui got off the carriage and handed Princess Hai Yan's badge with both hands, but she was not able to pass smoothly as usual.

A row of four Dongyu Guards stood in front of the carriage, holding long swords and spears.

The Dongyu Guard who checked the badge was a stranger. He returned the badge to Bei Hui, walked to the carriage and shouted, "Dongyu Guards on duty! Princess Haiyan and the Prince Consort, please get off the carriage and wait for a moment to cooperate with my routine inspection."

Bei Hui was anxious, "Princess Haiyan received an urgent summons from the Emperor..."

A calm voice came from the carriage, "Bei Hui, it's okay, cooperate with the Dongyu Guards on duty."

"Yes." Bei Hui responded, took out the footstool and placed it next to the door, waiting for the master to get off the carriage.

The first person to lift the curtain and come out was the Prince Consort Cen Yuan.

Today he wore a dark blue, thinly woven dragon robe with dark patterns and a black belt around his waist, which made him look tall and graceful. In his neatly tied hair was a heavy arrow hairpin.

He stepped on the stool and got off the carriage, and then helped Shi Anxia who was following closely behind him. After she stood still, he turned around and asked, "New here? What's your name?"

Dong Yuwei was stunned, and hurriedly clasped his fists and replied, "I am Zhou You, and I have been in Dong Yuwei for six years."

The Zhou family originally had a title, but later on their fortunes fell and no one in the family stood out. Nowadays, they can only survive by relying on their early relationships.

Zhou You can be considered the most capable person of the Zhou family in this generation. Although he joined the Dongyu Guard through some connections, his skills are certainly not bad.

"That's because I'm ignorant. Please do as you please." He helped Shi Anxia stand aside.

The last person to get off the carriage was Hong Que. She held Shi Anxia's white gauze cape and stood behind Bei Hui obediently.

Zhou You said, "Excuse me." He lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

The horses of this carriage were the two fine horses that were specially raised in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. Their bodies were snow-white without a trace of other colors.

After the two got married, Ma and the groom went directly to the young master's residence.

The carriage was designed by Cen Yuan himself. He seemed to remember something, walked forward, pressed on the wall, and heard a click in the carriage, and then all the secret compartments, drawers, and doors of all sizes opened automatically.

Zhou You was dazzled by the sight, and flipped through the cabinets casually, and saw all kinds of bottles and jars of different sizes, all filled with food and drink. There were also thick clothes and quilts for keeping warm, in short, everything you could eat, wear and use.

Let me put it this way, if this carriage was locked somewhere for ten days or half a month, the people in the carriage would definitely not starve to death.

Zhou You felt pressured by Cen Yuan's seemingly calm gaze, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making him unable to straighten his back.

Cen Yuan's tone was very calm, but every word she said was like a mountain. "Are you done? The princess is too precious to stand the cold."

Zhou You wiped his sweat and said, "Alright." He quickly got off the carriage and respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Princess, please. Prince Consort, please."

He had received a mission, which was to stop Princess Haiyan on the road as much as possible and prevent them from entering the palace too early.

But if you delay any longer, the Prince Consort will eat you.

He thought that there were checkpoints ahead and he was not the only one who could delay time here, so he quickly released the person.

Bei Hui first got on the carriage to pack her things, and then rolled up the curtains to dissipate the smell.

Outside the carriage, Cen Yuan was in no hurry to leave. She just asked calmly, "There's nothing shameful hidden in the carriage, right? Have you checked everything?"

"No, no." Zhou You replied in a trembling voice. He was particularly nervous tonight, and his palms were full of sweat. "I found out."

With a rustling sound, Cen Yuan raised a piece of paper in his hand and said, "Put your handprint on it once you have found out everything."

Zhou You didn't understand what he heard. After taking a closer look, he saw a few lines of words written on the paper, which said that the checkpoint had inspected the carriage and found no suspicious items.

Hong Que held the ink pad and said, "Sir, please."

Zhou You was very embarrassed, "This..."

Cen Yuan lost her good temper and said coldly, "Why? You are on duty to check the princess' carriage. Is it difficult for me to put my handprint? Do you want to do it yourself, or do you want me to help you?"

What Zhou You was thinking of at this moment was the scene where Cen Yuan dragged a polo club and smashed it towards the Wan people.

The prince consort must not be offended!

But Hong Que was still watching the show from the side, "If you want our Prince Consort to help you, I don't know if you can still use your hand in the future."

Zhou You had no intention of offending the princess and her husband. As a person on duty, why would he care so much?

Moreover, he had previously envied Ma Chuyi for having the upper hand over the emperor's wife, while he belonged to a different faction and could never get any benefits.

He pressed his thumb on the ink pad and then on the paper.

When An Xia got on the carriage, Cen Yuan also put one foot on the horse stool, but suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, where is Ma Chuyi?"

Zhou You replied, "I'm sorry that I can't comment on the internal affairs of the East Feather Guard."

Cen Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, said nothing, and got on the carriage.

The carriage galloped away.

Just after passing an intersection, another Dongyu Guard was on duty.

A row of Dongyu Guards stood in front of them, their voices were particularly loud in the middle of the night, "Get off the carriage, Dongyu Guards are on duty."

Bei Hui handed over the princess badge as usual. Dong Yuwei looked at it and returned it to Bei Hui, but still refused to let her go. He shouted, "Princess and your husband, please get off the carriage and cooperate with Dong Yuwei's routine inspection."

Bei Hui rolled her eyes at them, twisted her waist, and got into the carriage with her badge in hand.

The Dongyu guards treated them as if they were facing a formidable enemy and all drew their weapons.

Cen Yuan lifted the curtain and walked out, step by step.

Every time he took a step forward, Dong Yuwei took a step back.

Cen Yuan suddenly smiled, with a hint of coolness on the corners of his lips, "Dongyu Guard without Ma Chuyi, is this it?"

He shook the paper in his hand, and it shone in the light of the torch.

Seeing that the prince consort looked normal, the Dongyu Guards came closer to take a look. It said that the checkpoint had checked the carriage and found nothing suspicious. There was also a fingerprint at the bottom.

"This is Zhou You's fingerprint. If you have any questions, you can send someone to take it over." After saying this, Cen Yuan put the paper into his sleeve, turned around and prepared to get on the carriage.

One of the Dongyu Guards stepped forward and said, "He is him, and we are us! We haven't checked yet, don't think you can get away with it."

Cen Yuan frowned and clenched his fists. "Are we going to attack one by one, or all at once?"

As he finished speaking, without anyone seeing clearly how he did it, he knocked the long sword out of the hand of the Dongyu Guard who stepped out of the line to speak.

With a clang, the long knife was thrown to the ground.

The Dongyu Guards all raised their swords and stepped forward, "What do you want, Prince Consort?"

"You are shameless!" Cen Yuan raised his leg and walked out quickly, took away the long swords in the hands of several people and threw them on the ground.

After saying that, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief, then arrogantly turned around and got on the carriage, throwing down a few words, "Don't force me to kill anyone!"

The coachman shouted "Gee", and two white horses rode away, stepping on the weapons of the Dongyu Guards.
