When it was time to start talking about business, Boss Zhang and Lieshan still left. Just like Gong Zhu's idea of wanting to be honest, Boss Zhang also received an order to 'give the other party a feeling of complete trust', so seeing that everyone was eating and drinking about the same, when Chang Gui's father-in-law sent the girl named Lotus away, he also used the excuse that he was tired and went back to the room to rest first.

Granny Chunfu stayed here in a daze and napped in Beiqi and went to sleep first, and the seventh girl and Lotus cleaned up the table a little. Lotus was cleaning the plates, and the Seventh Girl made one or two side dishes and sent them to Gong Zhu and Chang Gui before returning to the kitchen to clean them.

Just when the banquet here was over, and only Gong Zhu and Chang Gui's father and son were left gossiping, the owner of the mutton soup stall who was drunk outside the city finally remembered where he had seen the old man during the day.

"Wanted, it's the wanted man."

The daughter-in-law, who finally helped him to the bed, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded him loudly while slapping him,

"What do you say, where did the wanted criminals come from, it's really annoying to be drunk."

"It's the wanted criminal, it must be, but it's a little older, and the appearance between the eyebrows and eyes hasn't changed at all."

After being hit a few times by his daughter-in-law, he slowly came to his senses, sat up and grabbed his daughter-in-law's hand, and said with wide eyes. At first, his daughter-in-law thought that he was drinking crazy again and wanted to break free. was also suspicious by his serious eyes.

"You, what are you talking about, where is the wanted criminal?"

The vendor ignored his daughter-in-law, but let go of his hand, clutching the edge of the bed while rubbing his face with his hand. Now he was a little drunk, but he suddenly remembered the old man's appearance, maybe he remembered it wrongly.

"Hey, forget it, go to bed first, and then go to the city gate tomorrow morning to have a look."

After saying that, she fell down on the hob bed and went to sleep, and his daughter-in-law looked at him helplessly, thinking that he was going drunk. After pulling the quilt and covering him, he went out to clean up the table.

Chang Gui had no way to stay late, even if he came out to accompany Lotus to go shopping, he couldn't stay until the soldiers guarding the gate changed shifts, he just took care of this wave of guards. After the Seven Girls and Lotus went out, Chang Gui finally told the purpose of his trip.

"Godfather, I think, do you want to go into the palace to meet the emperor and explain all these things to the emperor clearly, so that the emperor can leave a holy decree."

"What?"

Gong Zhu thought that Chang Gui was going to discuss this matter with him, but he didn't expect Chang Gui to come up with such an idea.

"How can I go to the palace, you just make it clear to the emperor."

"Godfather, you don't know, now the emperor's situation is getting worse and worse, he is often confused, and sometimes he will call me your name. Back then, I just told the emperor's fourth godfather to discuss with me, as long as the matter was revealed, he would use this method in exchange for the queen's trust, leaving me alone to continue to serve the emperor in the palace. For so many years, the emperor has always been suspicious of this matter, and he does not completely trust me. I tried to mention my godfather's name to the emperor a few times, but the emperor didn't want to talk to me. ”

"That's right."

Indeed, if the emperor has really reached this point, he must not be able to get the holy decree and use it, the current situation is in crisis, no one knows when the Yanlan family plans to start, if this matter is not done quickly, the identity of Northern Qi is indeed not easy to handle.

After thinking about it for a long time, Gong Zhu finally made up his mind.

"Chang Gui, is this matter easy for you to handle?"

"Well, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Then you go and arrange it, godfather will go to the palace and go to see the emperor."

The last few words Gong Zhu said deeply. His friend, his master, the emperor of the Northern Qi Kingdom, who was high up in front of him but helpless like an ordinary person.

Chang Gui rushed back to the palace with Lotus before the first shift change, inquired about the movement on the queen's side, and only felt at ease after making sure that there was nothing wrong. Since then, the people in the palace have a better attitude towards Lotus, and the queen has heard the rumors, but she just casually said, 'Lotus must be a good girl'. Under the cover of this matter, Chang Gui closely planned the next time he had the opportunity to bring Gong Zhu into the palace.

Soon after, a few days later, the queen went to the temple to make incense as usual, and it took two days for Chang Gui to stay in the palace on the grounds that someone was making trouble in the palace. The queen was at a palace gate in the morning, Chang Gui stopped the medicine for the emperor at noon, and went out of the palace again with the lotus flower in the afternoon, but this time he went out by carriage, and when he went out of the palace gate, he deliberately expressed that he didn't like people to lift the curtains.

After the sky darkened, Chang Gui took Gong Zhu into the palace, and Gong Zhu was the only one.

The last time I went out of this palace gate was eight years ago, but when I came back again, I had to hide it. Gong Zhu could feel the flattery of the guards guarding the gate when he entered the palace gate, Chang Gui just lowered his voice and asked, 'What's wrong', and let him go without saying a word. Gong Zhu looked at Chang Gui, who was still a little nervous sitting next to him, and still felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Chang Gui, you did a good job."

Chang Gui was actually still a little nervous in his heart, he also knew that his nervousness was exposed in front of Gong Zhu, and he was even more embarrassed when he heard Gong Zhu's praise, scratching his head and looking away but just happened to meet Lotus's eyes, and the two of them immediately avoided it unconsciously.

Chang Gui sent away the people who were waiting near Zhengyang Palace, dressed Gong Zhu as a doctor, and first asked Lotus Flower to bring him in, and he was outside to control the wind, ready to deal with the sudden situation at any time.

"Godfather, go inside."

Lianhua didn't know Gong Zhu's true identity, and Chang Gui didn't tell her, and she didn't ask, she just did things according to Chang Gui, which was very similar to Chunfu's mother-in-law.

Gong Zhu took a step by step gently, as if he had walked for a long time to the door of the inner room, Gong Zhu gently pushed the door open and stepped in. All the furnishings had not changed, and several of the utensils looked a little old, and it was reasonable that they should not have stayed in the emperor's bedchamber.

"Gong Zhu, you're back."

Maybe Gong Zhu was too focused on looking at the one in the room, and didn't notice that the emperor had been doing it in bed for a while.

Gong Zhu was frightened by the sound and turned his head away. Before coming in, Chang Gui also told him that the emperor hadn't moved for a long time, and every day it was Lotus and Chang Gui who waited for him to turn over and something like that, because of the drug, the emperor was now confused, and he often didn't know what the emperor was talking about. Now, the emperor is sitting on the bed and calling his name.

"Emperor, Emperor, I'm Gong Zhu, I'm Gong Zhu, Your Majesty."

Gong Zhu approached the dragon bed excitedly, he looked at the emperor's old face and wooden eyes, and couldn't control his tears and flowed down. With a 'plop', Gong Zhu knelt down.
