Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

"Gu Yunji?"

The Feiyu guard had obviously heard of Gu Yunji's name. Hearing this, his eyes flashed and he said, "Wait a moment."

Soon, Feiyuwei walked down the tower and came to Gu Yunji: "It turns out to be Mr. Gu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His Majesty has decreed that all palace doors be closed. I wonder if Mr. Gu has any important matters that require him to enter the palace immediately?"

Gu Yunji frowned slightly: "Since it is His Majesty's order, how come you don't know anything about what I want to do? Didn't the higher ups inform you?"

Feiyuwei looked slightly unnatural: "I...I'm just here to do something under orders. I don't know what your Majesty's specific instructions are..."

Time was running out, and Gu Yunji didn't want to linger for too long, but he also knew that this was the other party's responsibility, so he said, "If you don't know clearly, go ask your superior for instructions and ask him to explain it to you. We will be waiting for you here."

"Yes, yes..." Feiyuwei replied, but his eyes glanced at Li Jinze aside, "But before I ask for instructions, please tell me, Master Gu, who is this person?"

The young man in front of him looked embarrassed and in a hurry, but he exuded an aura of nobility from head to toe that was very inconsistent with his appearance. It was not simple at first glance.

Emperor Jingfeng saw that it was not good, now is a sensitive time, and any unnecessary behavior may cause extraneous problems.Gu Yunji wanted to bring Li Jinze to Emperor Jingfeng quickly, but he was a little impatient with the procrastinating Feiyu Guard: "He is with me. As for his identity, you are not the one to know."

Feiyu Guard smiled when he heard this, and his tone became more confident: "Master Gu, your words are wrong. Your Majesty ordered Feiyu Guard to temporarily take over the palace gate and not allow people to enter and exit at will. The responsibility of guarding naturally fell on me and others. "

"I know Mr. Gu. You have made great achievements in rescuing people, and you are a close and trusted minister of His Majesty. But... this person is not well described and behaves strangely. I dare not just put someone with unknown origins in..."

As Feiyuwei spoke, he looked at Li Jinze unscrupulously for a few times, and his words were quite contemptuous.

"presumptuous!"

When had Li Jinze been treated so rudely? He was eager to see Emperor Jingfeng, but was blocked from entering the palace. He was furious and scolded: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am the one who Prince Chao! My father ordered Mr. Gu to take me into the palace immediately. You dare to stop me and delay this important event, but you don’t want your own head!"

"Too, too...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?!"

Feiyuwei was shocked when he heard this, and his face turned from red to white in an instant. Seeing that the two men's expressions did not seem to be fake, he did not dare to pester anymore and hurriedly turned back to report to the superior.

Not long after, a higher-ranking Feiyu guard came out. When he saw Gu Yunji and Li Jinze waiting outside, his eyes flashed, and he quickly squeezed out a smile and trotted towards him: "It turns out to be His Highness the Crown Prince, sir. He is a Qianhu from Feiyu Guard, named Hu Shan."

As he said that, he pretended to glare at the previous Feiyu Guard, then turned around and said with a smile: "Your Highness, forgive me, my subordinate is stupid and ignorant. I didn't know that Your Majesty called you into the palace. Please don't blame me..."

Li Jinze suppressed his anger and said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense and open the door quickly."

Hu Shan said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will let them open the door right now... His Majesty has already ordered me to pick up His Highness and Mr. Gu. Don't worry, Your Highness, there is enough time. We will take a small road and we will be there in half an hour." We will rush to His Majesty’s palace within a short period of time.”

Li Jinze's mind was filled with the fact that Emperor Jingfeng was seriously ill and summoned him. He didn't have time to think too much and followed him into the palace.

After a few people walked in, the heavy palace door behind them closed again with a dull sound.

Gu Yunji was startled by the sound of the door closing. When he looked back, he saw that the palace door was tightly closed, and the four high walls covered him like a square cage. It was so gloomy that it made him feel inexplicably flustered. "Master Gu, what are you looking at?"

"...Ah, it's nothing, I'll come right now."

Gu Yunji suddenly came back to his senses and saw Hu Shan and Li Jinze waiting for him in front. He quickly shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and quickly followed.

-

In a main hall somewhere in the palace, hundreds of officials gathered here noisily, feeling increasingly anxious.

An official walked back and forth a few times and couldn't wait any longer. Just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by the palace attendant at the entrance of the main hall: "Sir, Your Majesty has decreed that you please wait here for a while, and you are not allowed to leave during this period." One step inside the palace."

The official's temper was explosive. Hearing this, he immediately shouted: "Wait a minute! When are you going to wait?"

"His Majesty said a long time ago that he summoned us to the palace, but when we entered the palace, we were not allowed to see him. He told us to wait here first. We have been waiting for almost two hours. If we wait any longer, it will be dark. Could it be that Why don’t you spend the night here?”

Someone immediately echoed: "Yes! Your Majesty summoned hundreds of officials to the palace urgently. There must be something important to announce. I rushed to the palace before dawn today, and I haven't seen your Majesty's shadow yet. Where is your Majesty? I want to See your Majesty!"

The officials had been waiting for nearly two hours, and they were already in a state of impatience. Now they were more like a pot exploding, and they started making noise in the hall.

Fang Zigui, on the other hand, was sitting leisurely aside drinking tea, looking extremely calm and relaxed, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

"Fang Zigui!" An official became very angry when he saw this, and shouted loudly, "Explain to us what is going on! You were the first to ask us to wait here, saying that you would Your Majesty will summon us soon, two hours have passed, where are your Majesty's people?"

"What's the rush?" Fang Zigui put down the tea cup calmly, "Your Majesty said he wanted to summon us, so he will summon us naturally. Just wait."

Someone laughed sarcastically: "Oh, of course you are not in a hurry. You Fang Zigui is a close confidant of King Wu. Now King Wu is serving in the palace. As long as he says a word, you can come and go freely in the palace, but we are trapped in the main hall." can not go out."

"Your Majesty has been ill for several days. He suddenly summoned us to the palace this time. There must be something extremely important. There is no reason to leave us here. Maybe... someone deceived us and deliberately used His Majesty's name to Keep us trapped here to delay."

Fang Zigui's eyes were slightly cold: "What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm pretending to preach the imperial edict?"

"You said this, I didn't."

The official rolled up his sleeves and snorted coldly: "You keep claiming that His Majesty asked us to wait here, but we have never seen the imperial edict from beginning to end, and we have not received any support from others. Cheng Shoufu and Mr. Gu are not here, why not Allow me to say a few words to question you?"

Fang Zigui looked at him deeply, then chuckled: "Yes, of course, you can say whatever you want. Even if you say that I faked the imperial edict, that is your reasonable doubt."

But the next moment, the smile on Fang Zigui's face faded, and a stern look suddenly appeared on his face: "However, it's useless for you to doubt. I said you can't go out if you can't go out. No one can step out of the hall."
