Chapter 304 Lu Tingyan Enters Beijing

Lu Tingyan entered the city the next day. When she arrived at the checkpoint at the city gate, she saw the guards standing tall like pine trees, holding their spears tightly in both hands, staring at every person entering and leaving with a serious look.

Their eyes are so sharp that they seem to see through everything, which makes people shudder.

Lu Tingyan moved slowly forward with the crowd, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.

She twisted her fingers nervously, glancing at the guards from time to time, praying silently in her heart that nothing would go wrong.

When it was Lu Tingyan's turn to be examined, the guard looked her up and down with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

One of the guards stepped forward, held out his hand to stop her, and asked in a gruff voice, "Girl, please show me your ID."

Lu Tingyan's heart tightened. She went out in a hurry and did not bring any identification with her.

She fumbled around her body in panic, then shook her head helplessly and said, "I left in a hurry and didn't bring any ID. But I really didn't mean any harm, I just had something to do in the city."

The guard's expression became more serious, and he held his spear horizontally, saying, "You cannot enter the city without an ID."

Lu Tingyan was anxious and said, "Please, let me in."

The guard was unmoved and said, "This is a rule and cannot be violated."

Just when Lu Tingyan didn't know what to do, Miaomiao reminded: "Host, take out Jun Moyuan's jade pendant."

Lu Tingyan suddenly realized and secretly blamed herself in her heart, how could she forget such an important thing?

So she hurriedly took out the jade pendant from her bosom, handed it to the guard, and said, "Sir, I have the prince's jade pendant. I wonder if this can serve as proof?"

At this time, the leader of the guards came over and asked what happened.

The guard quickly replied, "Captain, this girl has no ID. She said she has the Crown Prince's jade pendant."

The captain took the jade pendant and examined it carefully, but still seemed a little unsure.

He looked at Lu Tingyan and said in a serious tone: "Little girl, please wait aside. I need to send someone to the Prince's Mansion to verify it."

Lu Tingyan nodded quickly, stood aside obediently, and said, "Excuse me, sir."

The captain handed the jade pendant to a guard beside him and ordered, "Take the jade pendant and go to the Crown Prince's Mansion and ask the Crown Prince's housekeeper if he recognizes this jade pendant."

The guard replied respectfully, "Yes, Captain," and left quickly.

Lu Tingyan stood aside, her hands clasped in front of her, staring at the departing guard, her heart full of anticipation and uneasiness.

The captain stood there with a serious face, his eyes occasionally glancing at Lu Tingyan, wondering how this little girl got the Crown Prince's jade pendant.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Lu Tingyan felt that every second was extremely long. She kept praying in her heart, hoping that this jade pendant would allow her to enter the capital smoothly.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from a distance, and Lu Tingyan's heart suddenly rose. She saw a group of people riding horses and rushing towards the checkpoint quickly, raising a cloud of dust.

The captain immediately became alert and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous at the checkpoint!"

The group stopped in front of the checkpoint, and the man in the lead said arrogantly, "We are from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we have urgent business to go into the city."

The captain frowned and said, "No matter who it is, they must be examined."

The man snorted coldly and said, "You dare to stop us? You dare to delay the Prime Minister's business?"

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the guards who went to the Prince's Mansion came back.

He ran to the captain, panting, and said respectfully, "Captain, the steward of the Prince's Mansion said he recognized this jade pendant. It was given to a girl by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When the captain heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he looked at Lu Tingyan with a little more respect.

He said to Lu Tingyan: "Miss, since this jade pendant was given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you can enter the city."

Lu Tingyan was delighted and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, sir."

However, the people in the Prime Minister's Office refused to accept this.

The leading man said, "Why can she enter the city but we can't?"

The captain said expressionlessly: "You cannot enter the city without being inspected."

The man glared at the captain and said, "Just wait, I will report this to the Prime Minister."

The man had no choice but to wait for the inspection before entering the city.
