Chapter 742 Gathering - A Solution I Couldn't Figure Out
"I wonder what method Miss Gu is thinking of?"
Bai Moqin looked at Xu Feng expectantly. Xu Feng really didn't want to disappoint Bai Moqin, but since she asked him, he had no choice but to tell her the contents of the letter.
"The imperial palace's procurement has always been handled by designated personnel. If it were really that easy to get in, then the imperial palace wouldn't be considered heavily guarded."
Xu Feng remembered that his young lady was very smart. Could it be that women really become stupid when they get pregnant?
Bai Moqin also felt that Xu Feng's words made sense. Bai Moqin's people had also seen the small gate through which the purchasing agents entered the palace, and it was always the same few familiar faces. It was impossible for strangers to be allowed to sneak in.
But since Gu Shuyan is giving advice from so far away, it's unlikely that it's just useless advice.
Bai Moqin couldn't figure it out for a moment. Seeing that it was getting late, she told Xu Feng that she would go to see him again, and then returned to the courtyard.
The next day, Wuying, having had enough sleep, went out early in the morning.
Time is of the essence; he must find a way out as soon as possible, or at least not let his early arrival be in vain.
Wuying didn't return until evening. Seeing Wuying wolfing down his food, Xu Feng then told him about his trip to see Prince Wei.
"His Highness the Crown Prince said he would come and tell us when he has made progress on his end."
As soon as Xu Feng finished speaking, Wu Ying said, "I saw the palace today, and it is indeed impregnable. If we really want to rescue Emperor Wei, we can only rely on his side."
"So, are we just going to do nothing from now on?"
Xu Feng felt that Wu Ying's words seemed to imply that he wanted to quit.
Seeing that Xu Feng had misunderstood, Wu Ying didn't explain, but just continued eating his food.
That night, Wuying looked at the method Gu Shuyan had given her again, and then went back to sleep.
"It's not that this kid is up to anything. The master called him here to do some work, but he's been eating and sleeping well all day long, and he doesn't even help with the work."
It had only been a day, but Xu Feng felt like he barely recognized Wuying anymore.
This matter is very serious and troublesome. News has come from Zhen Meiniang that the princes are now unable to see the emperor.
Xu Feng always felt that their idea of taking the emperor out of the palace was a pipe dream.
"Alright, Brother Wuying has been traveling for days and he deserves a rest. Didn't Miss give you a solution? Don't worry too much."
After Mingyu finished packing up the last of their belongings, she began to comfort Xu Feng.
Seeing Mingyu's connection, Xu Feng's anger subsided considerably, but when he thought of Gu Shuyan's method, he couldn't help but ask, "Does Miss really think that we can sneak into the palace through the purchasing side?"
Gu Shuyan's letter described three methods in three steps: sneaking into the palace, taking the emperor out of the palace, and then the father and son leaving the capital.
This very first method of sneaking into the palace caused unease.
"Since it's written by Miss, why not give it a try? What if it works?"
Although Mingyu also felt that there was something fishy about that method, she was still willing to accept what Gu Shuyan said because of her trust in Gu Shuyan.
"Forget it, there's no use in me worrying about this alone. Let's just wait for news from Crown Prince Wei!"
Xu Feng put all his frustrations aside, turned around, picked up Mingyu, and went back into the house.
The next day, Mingyu and Xu Feng woke up to find Wuying nowhere to be found again.
Seeing this, Xu Feng complained, but Mingyu just smiled and continued with her work.
That evening, Wuying returned with a smile on her face, seemingly in a very good mood.
Upon seeing this, Mingyu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wuying, has something good happened to you?"
Although Mingyu guessed that Wuying had gone out to investigate, she couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't go out on the street and encounter something interesting.
"There is good news, but it's not something you encounter, it's something you find?"
Wuying answered, picked up the food Mingyu handed him, and ate it heartily, just like the day before.
"Have you found a way to enter the palace?"
Although Xu Feng grumbled a few words yesterday, no one knew better than him that Wu Ying went out to investigate clues, not to fool around.
Wuying swallowed the food in his mouth and shook his head. "It's not about going into the palace, but about leaving the city."
Whether to enter the palace or leave the city, these are now perplexing problems for them.
After all, if the emperor disappeared from the palace, the empress and the eldest prince would surely seal the city gates and search every house if they found out.
Even if they manage to get out of the palace, they won't be able to leave the capital, and all their efforts will be in vain.
"What method could make you so happy?"
Xu Feng rarely saw Wu Ying smile like this, and he became interested in this method for a moment.
However, Wu Ying kept her in suspense, telling her that he would come with her the next day, and that not only would she go, but she would also need his help.
Xu Feng naturally didn't refuse and agreed on the spot.
Bai Moqin had received Gu Shuyan's instructions two days ago, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out exactly what Gu Shuyan wanted them to do.
Two days passed, and Bai Moqin remained stuck in the same place without making any progress. Seeing his worried look, Qingfeng couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, why don't you go for a walk? Perhaps you'll figure it out as you walk!"
In fact, Qingfeng also felt that Gu Shuyan's method would not work, but since his lord was so insistent on this method, Qingfeng, as a subordinate, could not say much.
Bai Moqin also felt that her thinking had slowed down while staying in this small courtyard, so she nodded and decided to go out for a walk tomorrow.
The streets of the capital were bustling, but Bai Moqin had little interest in looking at the colorful things; his mind was constantly repeating the same method.
How exactly can one sneak into the palace undetected?
As Bai Moqin pondered, she subtly glanced at the crowd in front of her.
Suddenly, two young beggars caught his attention. The two children, a boy and a girl, looked like a brother and sister.
The two were together for only a short while before they went their separate ways.
Upon seeing this, Bai Moqin immediately focused on the boy who had left. She saw him stop outside a shop, but his eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings and the situation inside the shop.
The little girl, who had separated from the boy earlier, slowly walked to the shop's door in full view of everyone. After receiving instructions from the boy, she quickly rushed into the shop.
However, because of her conspicuous position, everyone around her, including the shop assistants and the manager, saw her. So, the moment she rushed in, she was quickly stopped by a large group of people.
"Let me go, let me go!"
The girl struggled, trying to go inside, but with the combined efforts of the waiter and the shopkeeper, they slowly dragged her out the door.
