Yun Mujiu here had just arrived at the main gate of the palace and was now confronting the palace guards.

The two captain guards stood there with sullen faces, and there were six guards stationed behind them, refusing to let Yun Mujiu's carriage enter the palace.

"Princess, please get out of the car and walk into the palace."

Yun Mujiu sat in the carriage behind the curtain and asked coldly, "Why is it said that the princess has to walk into the palace?"

You have to know that the interior of the palace is very large. If you walk down from the palace gate, not only will you be very tired and embarrassed, but more importantly, it is extremely humiliating for a princess to walk into the palace to meet the emperor.

What's more, one of the guards pretended to be serious and said, "Princess, please go to the side door. The main door is still under maintenance this morning."

Yun Mujiu couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Are you kidding me? You really think she is a fool!

Why would the main gate of the palace need repairs for no reason, and it happened to be the right time for her to enter the palace? It turned out that this was the first way the man in the palace showed her his power!

Seeing the palace guards bullying others, Xia He couldn't help but get angry. She gently comforted Yun Mujiu: "Princess, don't be angry. Let me negotiate with them."

Xia He hurried over and said seriously, "Look carefully, this is Princess Ye, why don't you let the carriage of the Ye Mansion pass quickly!"

The guards did not move an inch after hearing this. They had received orders from their superiors long ago. Now they don't even take Princess Ye seriously, let alone a little maid!

Xia He was frustrated and returned to Yun Mujiu's carriage in a daze, saying guiltily: "Princess, this servant..."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

Yun Mujiu knew that the guards would not let them in without saying anything, but it would be more reasonable for the servants of the Ye Mansion to come forward first, and then take action as the princess. After all, if the servants did not do their job well, the master would have to come forward to control the situation.

Yun Mujiu held Chunlan's hand and slowly got out of the car. His bright eyes swept across the two arrogant captains of the guards in front of him. The main gate of the palace behind them was ajar.

Even when they were performing a show and needed to repair the palace gates, the people in the palace were reluctant to do a thorough job and didn't even close the doors tightly.

Yun Mujiu raised his eyebrows and ordered decisively: "They are just two guard dogs, and they dare to stop the carriage of the Ye Mansion! Come, arrest these two disrespectful servants!"

The personal guards of the Ye Mansion behind her were also aware of the current situation. The guards were trying to intimidate the Ye Mansion. If the guards succeeded, the reputation of the Ye Mansion would be damaged.

Ten guards quickly stepped forward and decisively captured the two guard captains and the six palace guards who rushed forward.

A guard captain was shocked and shouted, "Princess Ye, this is the gate of the palace. How can you act so high-profile and violate the palace rules!"

Another shouted, "Princess Ye, you are being disrespectful to His Majesty!"

Yun Mujiu held the hem of her skirt slightly with both hands, stretched out her left and right feet and kicked the two guards' knees hard.

They were kicked to their knees, groaning in pain, their brows furrowed.

Yun Mujiu said coldly: "The two guard captains are disrespectful and trying to sow discord between the Ye Mansion and His Majesty. Shut them up!"

Now the captain of the guards could not make any sound. The other guards were also suppressed by the guards and dared not say anything.

It was at this moment that they widened their eyes with surprise and suddenly realized that Yun Mujiu was not so easy to bully.

They glanced around and couldn't help but light up when they saw a figure approaching in the distance. Although the guards were holding them very tightly, they still tried their best to wriggle like worms.

It was still early, and no one was coming and going in front of the palace gate. Therefore, the noise made by Yun Mujiu and his group at the gate quickly attracted the attention of the crowd in the distance.

Yun Mujiu noticed the change in the guards. Looking over, he saw several ministers walking quickly towards him. They were probably going into the palace to discuss matters with the emperor.

At this time, several older ministers did not know exactly what had happened because they were far away and their eyesight was not so good due to their old age.

Yun Mujiu didn't want to make a big deal out of it. She just wanted to go to the palace to thank the emperor on time without losing face. So, she immediately asked calmly, "This princess is here to thank the emperor on behalf of the Ye King. Are you trying to stop me from entering the palace? Are you trying to accuse the Ye King's mansion of disobeying the emperor's order?"

The two guards' pupils dilated and they shook their heads violently. They couldn't argue even if they wanted to! Although the order they received was to embarrass Ye Mansion, they could not admit such a thing no matter what.

Yun Mujiu continued to ask: "If the main palace gate is broken, why is it still ajar? Cheating the royal family will lead to the punishment of nine clans..."

When she said "punish the entire clan", the tone of her voice rose.

The guards were even more terrified. If they failed to complete the mission, at most they would be executed. However, if they committed a serious crime, the entire family would be wiped out, and as the main criminals, they would die a more miserable death!

How careless!

At the very least they should have closed the palace gates earlier, but they didn't take it seriously because they underestimated Yun Mujiu, which led Yun Mujiu to discover the clues.

They shook their heads from side to side, whimpering sounds coming from their mouths.

Yun Mujiu decisively stood up and returned to the carriage, glancing at the guards. "Guards, everything has been explained clearly, let's go into the palace quickly."

The palace guards were strictly screened and trained. They knew that the time was right. If they didn't enter the palace, it would be too late when the ministers arrived. Not only would it delay the time to enter the palace, but it would also cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, they understood the meaning of Yun Mujiu's eyes and roughly pulled up the two guards. In the process of pulling them up, they "accidentally" caused the guards to hit the palace gate with great force, and they secretly exerted some force.

The dark red palace gate was opened to reveal a passage, and the royal guards released the remaining guards and drove away in the carriage, leaving behind only the trembling palace guards.

The guards looked panicked and at a loss.

Now they don't know how to explain the situation to their superiors. If they don't explain it well, they will be severely punished if they are blamed by their superiors.

When several ministers arrived at the door, they only saw eight guards standing there with dark complexions.

The ministers asked with concern: "What happened?"

The guard didn't dare to make the matter public, but just explained in a sad tone that nothing happened.

Although the ministers noticed something was wrong, their years of experience in officialdom told them not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise they would lose their official positions.

If they don't know how to read a hint, they wouldn't be able to hold office for so long.

So they didn't ask any more questions, and the next second they put the matter behind them and left.

Driven by the personal guards, the Ye Mansion carriage traveled smoothly all the way and finally arrived at Huaqing Gate. This gate leads to the outer court and various places in the inner court. It is one of the four "forbidden gates" leading to the inner palace.

On both sides of the Dahongmen, there were dozens of Jinyiwei guarding the gate with long swords, wearing robes with four-clawed flying fish patterns, and looking solemn.
