Earlier, when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, one of the frontmost guards used the spearpoint to lift the curtain, but it was blocked by the guard driving the carriage.
There were shadow guards lurking around the carriages and carriages, but they were under official inspection. No matter how unreasonable or unreasonable the order was, they didn't dare to act rashly. The guards could only drive them around, but not stop them.
Xiao Yi was dressed in the armor of the infantry uniform, which was under the command of the imperial army. However, in the center of his chest armor, there was a beast that looked like a kirin, rather than a kirin.
"Which battalion are you in?" Xiao Yi was warm like jade and his voice was cold. His words were filled with a noble aura, making people naturally not dare to act presumptuously.
The originally fierce garrison was stunned for a moment. They did not reply and could tell that the person in the car was either rich or expensive.
However, Xiao Yixiu had always been low-key when he traveled, and the carriage never carried the name of the Prince's Mansion. The guards knew his personality, and they wouldn't easily use the name to intimidate him.
Although the garrison was tough and arrogant, he was still a youth that had just joined the army for a few years. He was still young and had never fought with Xiao Yixiu before.
Although he felt that the owner of the carriage was being oppressed, he still raised his head and shouted, "Come out! Are you going to get off the carriage to be inspected by us, or do you want us to get on the carriage to investigate?"
Xiao Yi Xiu smiled.
The coachman was keenly aware of the prince's anger, so he quickly got off the carriage and swung his horsewhip in the air, "This is the carriage belonging to the Prince Mo. The carriage belongs to Prince Mo, his principal concubine and secondary wife. Who would dare to investigate?"
Xiao Yi Xiu said gently, "Yi Gui, there's no need to talk to him. He wants to investigate. Let him come up."
He turned around to take a look. Gu Qing Li hastily tidied up her clothes and helped Gu Qing Xiao sit up, allowing her to lean against his shoulder. She looked extremely tired and had her eyes closed, revealing only half of her face.
He lifted the cotton curtain and alighted from the carriage, gracefully standing there. His eyes exuded a sense of unbridled and noble alienation. There was a trace of a shallow smile in his eyes as he looked at the soldier holding a spear at the gate.
It was unknown who gave the order, but none of the guards at the front of the city gate were his former subordinates. It was obvious that they were here to make things difficult for him.
The leader of the garrison seemed to be a small team leader. He hesitated for a moment in the face of Xiao Yixiu's imposing manner, but his eyes were filled with unease. He quietly walked forward, lifted the carriage's curtain, and even went on a tour around the carriage without a trace of politeness.
The team had even encircled the carriage, slowly shifting their gazes away from Xiao Yi Xiu. They seemed to be taking it easy, but in reality, they were on guard.
Inside the carriage, the squad leader searched around under the watchful eyes of the crowd, lifting the cushions on his seat and even inspecting the empty boxes of items placed under the wooden plank. He then looked at Gu Qingli and her sister for a long time before letting out a hollow laugh, "Sorry for troubling you, Consort Wang. Please extend your hand for this lowly general to see."
Gu Qingli was surprised, but she was also angry. She didn't mind people looking at her hands, but in this era, it was very rude for a man to let a woman reach out for him to look, not to mention the fact that he was inferior to her.
The captain hurriedly explained, "I am not trying to be rude. It is because of a sudden outbreak of plague in the outer city. Today, an urgent order has been sent down from the palace that anyone who enters the inner city from the outer city will be strictly scrutinized, even nobles like Wang Gong."
In order to prove his point, he even shook out a piece of official paper. Presumably, there were official documents like this at every exit.
"In the early morning of the epidemic, many dark red spots appeared on the limbs of the hands and feet." In the early morning of the epidemic, many dark red spots appeared on the limbs of the disease.
Gu Qingli didn't pay much attention to it. She only took a glance at the red seal and couldn't have imagined it to be fake. She was just surprised at what the disease was. It only happened after she left the city and returned to peace.
Most of the princes lived in the inner city, while most of the ministers stayed in the inner city, while some stayed in the outer city. In terms of official position and purchasing power, Gu Chaoran should have stayed in the inner city. However, the inner city's Guo compound had been renovated and renovated over the years, so they temporarily moved to Guo's mansion in the outer city. Thus, she left the city, not expecting such a thing to happen to her.
When the captain saw Gu Qingli stretch out a pair of white hands from her sleeves, slender and delicate, her fingertips like bamboo shoots, almost transparent, his heart suddenly raced wildly. Following which, she rolled up the sleeves of the 'sleeping' Gu Qingxiao and revealed a pair of white hands.
Gu Qingxiao's wrist, which was as smooth as cream, had a butterfly shaped black and red spot on it. At first glance, it looked like a birthmark, but at the same time, it also looked like a tattoo.
Gu Qingli also felt it was strange, but she was not familiar with Gu Qingxiao's body. Benxiu's memories were not so clear that she could even remember the details. She was startled for a moment before reaching out her hand to touch it. "This is a birthmark, not a plaque."
The squad leader hesitated for a long time before nodding, "Princess Mo is right." Then he bowed his head and made a gesture that he would not retreat from, as if he still did not want to leave.
Gu Qingli smiled slightly. "Do you want to take a look at shoes and socks?"
Although her voice wasn't loud, it was clearly carried by the wind to the outside of the carriage. The soldiers had different expressions on their faces, but they secretly exchanged glances with each other.
"..." Ah? This... No... "Or not …" The captain laughed with some reluctance, but didn't jump out of the car.
Gu Qingli bent down without a care. First, she removed Gu Qingxiao's shoes and socks, revealing her jade-like feet. Then she lifted up her skirt and removed her shoes and socks as well.
"This... "That's not good …" The captain rejected it without the slightest bit of sincerity, but his naked eyes continued to stare at the two pairs of flawless jade feet. Each of his toes was as delicate as a carving, and even had a reddish hue due to the stimulation of the cold wind, making them as alluring as cherry blossoms.
The squad leader could almost hear the gulping sound of water in his throat. He reluctantly swept his eyes over and over again before he got off the car in a sorry state.
Gu Qingli looked at his back with a hint of a smile. The vulgar look in her eyes made her feel disgusted, but it also made her feel that it was laughable to be in such a sorry state. After all, in her previous life, she was an unscrupulous assassin. If it was necessary, she would even seduce him with her beauty. She didn't mind exposing herself at a moderate level. In her time, her arms and legs could be displayed in broad daylight without any restraint. This was nothing.
The reaction under the carriage was different. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, everyone could see the captain of the garrison offending Princess Mo. He dared to look at the feet of the main imperial concubine and the side concubine.
