Chapter 148 The Mighty Old Lady
Zhou Zhilan, Chi Yan and a dozen other guards immediately followed.
Gu Huan turned around and waved her hand: "There's no need for so many people. We're not going to fight. Chiyu, you've just come back from Southern Xinjiang, so it's inconvenient for others to see you. You and Chiyan take the guards to escort the adults to evacuate, and find a way to get them to the palace to see the emperor as soon as possible."
"Sister Zhilan, the maids can just follow me."
Zhou Zhilan waved to Zhou Chunyu: "Hurry up and leave. We are a group of women, I don't think they dare to do anything reckless."
Chi Yan and Chi Yu looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
Akabane protected several adults and followed Zhou Chunyu to the secret passage.
Chi Yan commanded several people to ambush on the wall near the gate to protect his wife secretly.
Gu Huan brought Zhou Zhilan and the others to the front yard, and they smashed the door open.
Gu Huan rushed forward, opened her arms, and blocked the door.
He shouted sternly, "Where did this lunatic come from? How dare you smash the door of the Duke of Yong and trespass into our mansion!"
Zhou Zhilan and the others protected Gu Huan in the middle and drew their swords to confront each other.
The commander in a suit of golden soft armor stepped forward, holding the hilt of the sword, with an arrogant attitude and a frivolous tone.
"I guess this is the new concubine of Duke Yong. I am on duty, please move aside, lest the sword hurts your face. If Duke Yong dislikes you, don't blame me."
Gu Huan's face darkened, and a surge of anger rushed to the top of her head.
Her face is Mu Junyan's face!
Facing a large group of fully armed people, she showed no fear at all. She held her head high and chest out as she moved closer to the sloppy commander step by step.
Commander San was a full head taller than Gu Huan, and Gu Huan had to look up at him.
Commander San raised an eyebrow.
The little woman looks delicate, but she is actually quite courageous.
Gu Huan walked up to him, suddenly jumped up without warning, raised her arm and slapped him hard in the face.
The crisp sound of slapping shocked the crowd.
Commander San never expected that the little woman would dare to hit him in public, and was so shocked that he didn't react for a moment.
Gu Huan quickly took two steps back, and Zhou Zhilan and the others immediately protected her in the middle.
Gu Huan's hands hidden in her sleeves were numb with pain.
The man was a head taller than her, and even when he jumped up with all his might, he only hit her chin.
Gu Huanliang opened his voice and shouted angrily: "How dare you! My marriage was granted by the Emperor. If you dare to insult me, you are insulting the Emperor!"
Commander San reacted and flew into a rage, "You want to use His Majesty to pressure me? I'm here to capture the fugitives under the order of the Empress Dowager. Do you want to use His Majesty to pressure the Empress Dowager?"
As he spoke, he rushed forward, waving his arms.
"How dare you hit me, you stinking bitch! You're looking for death!"
Donghua and another maid rushed forward to stop them, but they did not dare to use force against the official, so they could only be slapped hard by him twice, but the two men refused to move.
Commander San raised his foot to kick, but Zhou Zhilan drew her sword and in the blink of an eye the sword was against Commander San's neck.
Commander San was so angry that he yelled, "You guys want to rebel! Come on, arrest these bitches!"
The soldiers were about to charge upwards.
"Let's see who dares!"
A confident voice exploded.
Gu Huan was overjoyed when she heard that. She turned around and saw an old lady wearing a first-rank imperial robe and holding a golden dragon-headed cane, leading a group of people walking towards her.
The old lady glanced at Gu Huan and nodded at her.
Gu Huan felt relieved, but she was still worried about getting the old lady into trouble, so she felt flustered and anxious.
Zhou Zhilan put away her sword and retreated back to Gu Huan.
Commander San was startled.
Not to mention the first-rank imperial edict, everyone knew the origin of the dragon-headed cane. Even the emperor could beat him, let alone a mere minor official?
He quickly bowed respectfully and said, "This subordinate greets Old Lady Mu."
The old lady glanced at him coldly and said, "Did you just beat up someone from the Duke of Yong's Mansion?"
"It was a misunderstanding. I was ordered by the Queen Mother to arrest a few suspects who ran into the Duke's Mansion. This concubine didn't quite understand the rules of officialdom, so there was a misunderstanding."
Gu Huan walked to the old lady and held her arm.
The old lady deliberately wore the imperial robes and carried a dragon-headed cane, probably because she knew the reason.
The old lady patted her hands, turned her head and looked coldly at Commander San.
"Whoever gets hit by him, hit me back! How can the Duke of Yong's Mansion be bullied so easily?"
Gu Huan's eyes were burning.
The old lady is mighty!
Donghua and the other two immediately stepped forward and slapped San Zhihui four times on both sides.
Commander San was so angry that he was fuming. He was beaten by a woman in front of all his subordinates and was embarrassed and thrown out on the street.
But he didn't dare to confront the old lady.
Before he got dementia, he even beat the Empress Dowager.
Unexpectedly, after Mu Junyan married a concubine and held a large wedding banquet, her dementia was cured.
Being beaten is a small matter. The important thing today is that the prince ordered him to intercept several officials who escaped, and he dare not mess up this matter.
Commander San held back his anger and smiled: "Old lady, please don't be angry. Can you let me go in and catch the fugitive first, and then let you beat and scold me?"
The old lady sneered, "What a joke! When can anyone come into the Duke of Yong's mansion at will?"
Commander San looked unhappy, but he didn't dare to refute.
"Let me ask you, why is the Queen Mother in charge of fugitives? What right does she have to interfere in government affairs? Or did you forge the Queen Mother's decree?"
Commander San's expression changed slightly.
"Your subordinate..."
The old lady didn't want to listen to him at all: "Hua'er, let's go to the palace and see for myself what the Empress Dowager has ordered."
"Yes, mother." Gu Huan nodded with a smile.
Commander San hurriedly begged for mercy: "Old lady, please don't bother yourself."
"Get out of here!" The old lady swung the dragon head stick with one hand, bringing with it a gust of wind, and swept across, hitting Commander San right on the butt.
"Ouch."
Commander San jumped up, holding his butt, but he stumbled and stepped on empty air.
He screamed and rolled down the stairs.
The soldiers hurriedly helped the man up.
The old lady poked the dragon-headed cane on the ground and said, "Watch the gate. Anyone who trespasses will be kicked out!"
The people of Yong State shouted in unison: "Yes, sir!"
The deafening sound frightened all the squads in front of the hall and made them take a few steps back.
The old lady walked forward majestically, and the guards in front of the hall retreated step by step.
The carriage drove over, Gu Huan helped the old lady onto the carriage, and the door of the Duke Yong's Mansion slammed shut.
The various squads on guard in front of the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.
Commander San was so angry that he kicked the people around him and said, "Get out of here! Are you embarrassing yourself here?"
"Nervous?" The old lady tilted her head and looked at Gu Huan.
Gu Huan shook her head and suddenly realized that she was holding the old lady's hand too tightly, so she quickly let go.
She smiled sheepishly: "My daughter-in-law is useless and too timid."
The old lady was full of praise: "You are already very impressive. It is rare to see a young lady with such courage as you."
Gu Huan was a little panicked.
She caused such a big trouble without reporting it to her mother in advance.
"Mother……"
"No need to say more, mother believes you."
Gu Huan was so moved that her eyes turned red: "But, I made a big fuss about this matter."
"It's not you who made a big fuss about it. It's someone who was so bold as to deceive the emperor and wanted to expose the truth. It's you who uncovered the shocking conspiracy, so you deserve credit."
Gu Huan's face turned even redder.
She was seeking revenge out of selfishness, but she didn't expect to implicate so many people, and some of them even bled and were injured.
"Mother, are we really going into the palace?"
"Yes. If we don't go to the palace, how can we solve the case of stealing military supplies?"
Gu Huan opened her mouth in surprise.
"Mother, did you know that the military supplies were stolen?"
The old lady touched her nervous little face with heartache.
"Good boy, do whatever you want to do. I will take care of everything for you."
Gu Huan couldn't hold back any longer and tears welled up in her eyes.
