The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 526: The Old Lady of Anyang Marquis Enters the Palace to Plead Guilty

"Who are you? The palace is a restricted area, no outsiders are allowed to enter here!"

Because the old lady's carriage of the Marquis of Anyang was very simple, without any sign of the mansion, and there were two teams of armed guards following behind their carriage, so when her carriage was still five feet away from the gate of the palace, it was stopped by the yellow-armored soldiers guarding the palace gate!

The driver looked at the unsheathed sword, swallowed nervously, tightened the reins in his hands, and the carriage stopped.

Hearing the noise outside, Wang Shuer stretched out a slender hand, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage nimbly. Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly put the stool for dismounting beside the carriage, and the old lady got off the carriage with the help of Wang Shuer.

"I am the mother of Marquis Anyang. I have something very important to discuss with the Regent. I hope you can help me report it!"

The old lady seemed not to notice the cold sword in the yellow-armored soldier's hand. She walked up to them calmly and spoke politely.

"It turned out to be the old lady of Anyang Marquis's Mansion. The Regent has been very busy these days. I will report the news of the old lady's request to see the Regent, but it is uncertain when the Regent can summon the old lady. Please return to the mansion and wait patiently for the summons!"

The leader of the Huangjia Army was on good terms with Cao Zhu, and knew that Marquis Anyang had secretly helped him a lot. Therefore, after knowing the old lady's identity, he was very polite to her. He guessed that the Regent was unlikely to see her today, so he kindly advised her to go back home first and not wait here.

"If I hadn't been asked to do something extremely urgent, I wouldn't dare to disturb the Regent at this time. Please give this letter to the Regent. He will definitely see me. Please hand the letter to the Regent immediately. Many lives are at stake!"

The old lady took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to the leader of the Yellow Armor Army with both hands, her face solemn.

The leader of the Yellow Armor Army heard her say this and saw that she was serious. He thought for a moment before taking the letter and bowed to the old lady, saying, "Then please wait here, I will deliver the letter to the Regent right away!"

If it was really as the old lady said, and it involved the lives of many people, and he was guilty of a serious crime because he did not deliver the letter to the palace in time.

"You stay here and guard the palace gate. I will go inside to deliver the letter!"

He gave an order to his subordinates, then walked quickly into the palace. As he walked, he carefully checked the letter for any foreign objects or strange smells. They would check everything that was to be handed over to the Regent in this way to prevent anyone with ill intentions from trying to harm the Regent.

The old lady did not go back to the carriage to sit, but stood there straight looking at the palace gate. No one knew what she was thinking. Wang Shuer quietly accompanied her.

The leader of the Yellow Armor Army came back faster than anyone had imagined. Behind him was Leng Yi, and closely following Leng Yi were four palace guards carrying a sedan chair. The sedan chair seemed to have no weight on their shoulders and did not affect their speed at all.

"Madam! The Regent invites you. Please get in the sedan chair and follow us into the palace!"

The leader of the Yellow Armor Army returned to his position and continued to guard the palace gate. Leng Yi brought the four palace guards to the old lady, personally lifted the curtain of the sedan chair for her, and invited her to get in.

"Shu'er, go back to the carriage and wait!"

Seeing that Leng Yi had no intention of inviting Wang Shuer to the palace, the old lady turned around and gave Wang Shuer some instructions, and then said to Leng Yi and the others, "I thank the Regent for his consideration and thank you all for your hard work!"

After saying that, he bent down and entered the sedan chair.

"The sinful woman meets the Regent!"

The old lady was carried directly to the door of the imperial study. She got off the sedan chair, quickly tidied her clothes, took a deep breath, walked in, knelt down and bowed!

"What crime has the old lady committed? Please get up!"

Jun Moxie looked at the white-haired old lady kneeling on the ground with a kind face, and glanced at the chief eunuch next to her.

The chief eunuch smiled and walked quickly to the old lady, helped her up personally, and moved a stool behind her.

The old lady thanked Jun Moye respectfully, but did not sit down. She stood there, looking at the chief eunuch, then at Jun Moye, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Upon seeing this, the steward looked towards Jun Moye, and when he saw him nod, he bowed and left the imperial study, closed the door, and stood two feet away.

"Madam, in your letter you said that your granddaughter practiced evil skills that could turn living people into bones. What exactly is going on? Please tell me in detail!"

Seeing the door closed, Jun Moxie looked at the old lady and asked.

Could it be that the evil cultivator they were looking for before was actually Wang Siruo?

The old lady took the order respectfully and told him about how Wang Siruo did not return home all night on the day Cao Fangqing died. She also talked about how today, the servants who were guarding her were found in Wang Siruo's yard turned into piles of bones, while Wang Siruo was nowhere to be seen. After taking a breath, she reported her series of arrangements to Jun Moyue without hiding anything.

After listening to this, Jun Moyue was certain that Wang Siruo was undoubtedly an evil cultivator.

The old lady saw that Jun Moxie frowned and remained silent after hearing her words. She felt uneasy and knelt on the ground, asking for forgiveness again, "It was because of my poor teaching that the evil creature killed so many people. Now that she is missing, I don't know how many innocent people she will hurt. Please punish me, Regent!"

"After learning that Wang Siruo had harmed people, the old lady did not let it go. She just didn't expect that Wang Siruo was so capable that he could escape from the guards. All these sins should be borne by Wang Siruo himself, and have nothing to do with Anyang Marquis's Mansion!"

Jun Moxie was just thinking about how to arrange people to capture Wang Siruo. Seeing the old lady apologizing again, he spoke gently to comfort her.

"Madam, the Anyang Marquis's family has been loyal for generations. I know this. Over the years, the Anyang Marquis has been secretly sending money, food and fodder to the military camp to support the soldiers in defending Daxia without asking for anything in return. He has made great contributions to Daxia. You, the old man, often send people to give porridge to the poor people outside the capital. You have done a lot of good deeds, and you deserve a reward!"

Thinking that it was because of Marquis Anyang's support that Cao Zhu and many soldiers were able to hold out until he was detoxified and handled government affairs, Jun Moyue stood up from behind the table and personally helped the old lady up.

Then he shouted outside: "Leng Yi!"

"My subordinate is here!"

When Leng Yi heard Jun Moyue's voice, he immediately pushed the door open, bowed and waited for his instructions.

"Pass on this king's order. Marquis Anyang has provided countless food and fodder to the military camps for many years and has made great contributions to the defense of Daxia. He is specially named Marquis Anyang. Marquis Anyang's old lady has taught well and is named a first-rank imperial lady. The two sons of Marquis Anyang's mansion are specially approved to study in the Imperial Academy!"

Leng Yizhao bowed respectfully to Jun Moyue and quickly left to convey Jun Moyue's order.

Hearing about Jun Moyue's series of rewards, the old lady forgot about etiquette and looked up at him in shock. She originally thought that the best outcome for this trip would be for the Regent not to blame Anyang Marquis' Mansion, but she didn't expect to receive such a huge reward!
