Chapter 164: Entering the Palace


"It turns out to be the dark leader."

Shu Sirui was once a general and had worked for the emperor for many years.

Naturally, he had some understanding of the people around the emperor.

Although the emperor has many secret guards, there is only one person who can be called the secret leader now, and that is the person in front of him.

Although this person may look ordinary, all the emperor's secret guards are assigned by him.

Of course, if this person changes, the emperor can take back the right to control the secret guards at any time.

Generally speaking, if you become a secret guard, you will never be betrayed for the rest of your life.

This secret guard is almost the same as a dead soldier.

The only difference may be the title.

"I haven't seen you for so many years.

I didn't expect General Shu to know me.

I'm really flattered."

Looking at Shu Sirui, the dark leader smiled and spoke.

He looked at Shu Sirui, and then his eyes fell on Yunzhu.

Seeing the dark leader like this, Shu Sirui frowned even deeper.

He always felt that the dark leader came today not for him.

"General Shu, I have been ordered by the emperor to deliver a message to the general.

When the general comes back, the emperor wants to see you and your wife."

Sure enough, just as Shu Sirui was thinking about it, the dark leader spoke again.

Although he said he wanted to see him and his wife, according to Shu Sirui's understanding of the emperor, what he really wanted to see was Yunzhu beside him.

After all, he used all his glory to gain freedom back then.

"When?"

Although he already had a guess in his mind, Shu Sirui still asked.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it.

Today is the day."

It's rare to see two people going out today, and it's still early, so it's a good time to enter the palace.

"Then let's go."

Nodding, Shu Sirui turned to look at Yunzhu beside him.

He reached out to hold Yunzhu's hand and spoke to comfort her.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Shu Sirui knew very well that Yunzhu grew up in a mountain village and would never have met the emperor, so she would probably be extra nervous to meet the emperor this time.

Shu Sirui said this, and Yunzhu nodded.

The two were husband and wife after all, so Shu Sirui knew her well enough.

She was really nervous now.

After living two lifetimes, she could actually see the living emperor with her own eyes.

How could she not be nervous and excited?

Letting Shu Sirui pull her, Yunzhu tried his best to calm down his emotions.

Noticing Yunzhu's nervousness, Shu Sirui held her hand tighter.

Following the dark leader, Shu Sirui and Yunzhu walked through an alley that was even more remote than before.

Although it was remote, Shu Sirui knew that this road was the closest alley to the palace.

In fact, this is normal.

After all, as a secret guard, you need to know the smoothest roads everywhere in the capital.

In this way, it will be particularly convenient to do some things.

After twists and turns, the three of them finally came to the street, probably within the scope of the palace.

Not only were there no traders on the street, not even a single peddler was seen.

Far away from the palace gate, you can see guards guarding the palace entrance.

Yunzhu looked around curiously and found that guards could be seen at every distance.

Thinking of the TV she had seen in her previous life, Yunzhu couldn't help but wonder how those princes who rebelled could evade the guards outside the palace gate.

Of course, in this case, Yunzhu only dared to think about it in her heart.

There were so many guards here.

If she really dared to ask, she was afraid that she would become a dumpling stuffing under the sword of the guards in the next second.

When they reached the palace gate, Shu Sirui and Yunzhu entered the palace smoothly because of the token in the hands of the dark commander.

Speaking of which, Shu Sirui had not been to the palace for a long time, but his temperament had always been cold, so as before, he walked forward without looking back.

It was Yunzhu's first time coming to the palace.

Although he knew it was best not to look around, he still couldn't bear his temper and took a sneak peek from time to time.

In her previous life, Yunzhu had been to the ancient palace of the Celestial Dynasty.

Although she had only been there once, Yunzhu had a deep memory because she went there with a friend.

Along the way, her friend told her about I learned a lot of ghost stories about the ancient palace.

It is for that reason that Yunzhu can still recall the general situation in the ancient palace.

Comparing the ancient palace with the palace he saw in front of him, Yunzhu found that the palace here looked more interesting.

Yunzhu guessed that it might be because the ancient palace in the previous life no longer had its owner, so some of it was priceless.

All the treasures were put away.

In addition, the palace here is cleaned every day by the maids and eunuchs, which naturally makes it more popular.

There is a huge difference in popularity sometimes.

They kept walking like this until Yunzhu felt that his legs were sore, and the An Commander in front of him finally stopped.

"Please wait a moment, please."

He turned around and said to Shu Sirui and Yunzhu, and Commander An walked towards the imperial study.

Because he was the commander of the secret guard beside the emperor, when he walked to the door, he glanced at the eunuch guarding the door.

When he saw the eunuch nodded respectfully, he went directly into the imperial study.

"See you, Your Majesty."

At this time, the Emperor was handling official duties.

Hearing the voice, the Emperor looked up and looked down.

"Get up, what are you doing?"

Generally speaking, the secret guard commander would only appear when summoned by the emperor or when something happened.

Otherwise, he would rarely appear in front of the emperor.

"Back to the emperor, I have brought General Shu and his wife here according to your order."

He spoke in a respectful tone, and Commander An answered the emperor's question.

"Well, let them come in."

As soon as he heard that Shu Sirui and his wife were coming, the emperor put down the Zhubu in his hand and gave an order to the An commander.

In response, Commander An retreated, and within a short time, Shu Sirui and Yunzhu were brought into the imperial study.

"Women from the grassroots and civilians pay their respects to the emperor, long live the emperor."

Now, Shu Sirui is no longer a general, so naturally he calls himself a civilian.

"Get up."

The emperor waved to the two of them, and the emperor motioned for them to get up, "Shu Qing, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

"As far as the Emperor is concerned, everything is well with the common people.

Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Shu Sirui saluted the Emperor again and said in a respectful tone.

Shu Sirui was like this, and the emperor's face suddenly showed a ghostly look.

He stared at Shu Sirui for a long time, as if he wanted to confirm whether he was the real Shu Sirui.

"You, raise your head."

When he spoke again, the emperor simply stood up from his chair and walked to Shu Sirui's side.

After hearing the emperor's order, Shu Sirui raised his head and let the emperor look at him seriously.

"It's a real person, why?"

Shu Sirui had served the emperor for many years, and the emperor still knew his character very well.

According to the past, when he asked Shu Sirui if he was okay, Shu Sirui could only return four words at most, "Wei Chen is very good", but today, he actually said several words.

No wonder the emperor was surprised.

When the emperor said this, helplessness flashed across Shu Sirui's eyes.

Because of Yunzhu, he did talk more than before.

Because of this, he had encountered this situation several times.

However, because he talked more, grandpa was very happy, and his impression of Yunzhu became better.

It's a pity that this will not be of any help to the Shu family.

"This woman is your wife" and his eyes fell on Yunzhu.

Originally, the emperor let them enter the palace mainly because he wanted to see Yunzhu.

"Exactly what you said to the emperor."

Hearing the emperor ask about Yunzhu, Shu Sirui couldn't help but worry flashed in his eyes.

Although the emperor was young, he was a deep-thinking person.

He vaguely guessed that Yunzhu was the purpose of the emperor letting them enter the palace.

Speaking of which, he was really worried that the emperor would hurt Yunzhu.

If it was the Shu family, Shu Sirui was not worried, because he could compete and find a way to protect Yunzhu, but now he was facing the emperor, and in his current situation, there was no way he could compete.

However, he has already thought in his heart that no matter who wants to harm Yunzhu, he must go through him.

Unless he dies, otherwise, he will try his best to protect Yunzhu, even if the other party It's the emperor.

Hearing Shu Sirui's response, the emperor nodded.

He walked to Yunzhu's side and looked at Yunzhu carefully.

At this time, Yunzhu lowered her head.

She understood that although she could secretly look around in the palace just now, she could never do that here.

Therefore, she stood in place politely. , letting the emperor look at himself.

I have to say that the emperor's gaze when looking at people was indeed different from others.

Yunzhu could feel it.

His eyes were like knives, so sharp that it made people scared.

Although Yunzhu was born in a peasant family, she was a modern person in her previous life.

Therefore, facing the emperor's inspection, Yunzhu did not show any timidity.

She just stood there and let the emperor inspect her.

In her opinion, it was just a matter of taking a few careful looks, and she was indispensable for her own flesh.

As long as the emperor did not want her life, then everything would be fine.

Surprise flashed in his eyes.

The emperor did not expect that a peasant girl could withstand his scrutiny.

Speaking of which, in the harem, the queen was the only one who could stand for a moment under his scrutiny.

If he had looked at her with the same gaze as before, the other concubines would have been so frightened that they would have knelt on the ground.

No wonder my love will look at this peasant girl in a different light, there is indeed something extraordinary about her.

Although she was a peasant girl, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and her demeanor did not look like that of a peasant girl.

Instead, she looked like a daughter of a noble family.

Such Yunzhu made the emperor feel a little confused.

Is the woman in front of me really just an ordinary farm girl?
