Chapter 164: Entering the Palace
"It turned out to be the Dark Boss." Shu Sirui used to be a general and worked for the emperor for many years, so he naturally knew something about the people around the emperor.
Although the emperor has many secret guards, there is only one person who can be called the 'dark chief' now, and that is the person in front of him.
Don't look at this person as ordinary, but all the emperor's secret guards are all assigned by him, of course, if there is a change in this person, the emperor can also take back the right to take the secret guard back to his own hands at any time.
Generally speaking, if you become a secret guard, you will never betray it for the rest of your life, and 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, but I didn't expect that General Shu still knows Zaixia, which really flatters Zaixia!"
Looking at Shu Sirui, the dark leader smiled and spoke, he glanced at Shu Sirui, and then his eyes fell on Yunzhu's body.
Seeing the dark leader like this, Shu Sirui's brows furrowed even deeper, he always felt that the dark leader didn't seem to come for him today.
"General Shu, on the orders of the emperor, I came to send a message to the general, knowing that the general is back, and the emperor wants to see you and your wife."
Sure enough, Shu Sirui was thinking about it, and the dark leader spoke again, although he said that he wanted to see him and his wife, but according to Shu Sirui's understanding of the emperor, what he really wanted to see should be the cloud bead beside him.
After all, back then, he used all his glory to exchange for freedom.
"When?" Although there was already a guess in his heart, Shu Sirui still asked.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today." It's rare to see the two of them go out today, and it's still early, so it's very suitable to enter the palace.
"Let's go, then." Nodding, Shu Sirui turned his head to look at Yun Zhu beside him, he reached out to hold Yun Zhu's hand, and opened his mouth to comfort her.
"It's okay, I'm here." Shu Sirui knew very well that Yunzhu had grown up in a mountain village since she was a child, and it was impossible for her to see the emperor at all, so she was likely to be extremely nervous when she went to see the emperor this time.
Shu Sirui said so, Yun Zhu nodded, the two are husband and wife in the end, so Shu Sirui knows her well enough, and now she is really nervous.
After living for two lifetimes, how could she not be nervous and excited to see the living emperor with her own eyes?
Letting Shu Sirui pull herself, Yun Zhu tried her best to calm her emotions, noticing Yun Zhu's nervousness, Shu Sirui held her hand tighter.
Following behind the dark leader, the alley where Shu Sirui and Yunzhu walked was even more remote than before.
Although it is remote, Shu Sirui knows that this road is the closest alley to the palace.
In fact, this is normal, after all, as a secret guard, you must know the smoothest roads everywhere in the capital, so that some things will be extra convenient.
In the midst of turning and turning, the three of them finally came to the street, perhaps within the scope of the palace, not only were there no vendors on the street, but even the merchants who walked on their feet did not see any of them.
Far away from the palace gate, you can see that there are guards guarding the palace gate, Yunzhu looked around curiously, and found that every other distance, you can see that there are guards.
Thinking of the TV he had seen in his previous life, Yunzhu couldn't help but be a little curious, how did those princes rebel and escape the guards outside the palace gate?
Of course, in this case, Yun Zhu only dared to ponder in her heart, there were so many guards, if she really dared to ask, she was afraid that in the next second, she would become a dumpling filling under the guard's knife.
walked to the gate of the palace, because there was a token in the hands of the dark commander, so Shu Sirui and Yunzhu entered the palace smoothly.
Speaking of which, Shu Sirui hadn't come to the palace for a long time, but his temperament had always been cold, so as before, he walked forward without squinting.
Yunzhu was coming to the palace for the first time, and although she knew that it was best not to look around, she still couldn't bear to take a peek from time to time.
In her previous life, Yunzhu had been to the ancient palace of the Celestial Empire, although she had only been there once, but Yunzhu's memory was very deep, because she went with a friend at that time, and along the way, her friend told her a lot of ghost stories about the ancient palace.
It was for that reason that Yunzhu could still remember the general situation in the ancient palace.
Comparing the ancient palace with the palace he saw in front of him, Yun Zhu found that the palace here still looked more feeling, Yun Zhu estimated that it was probably because the ancient palace in the previous life no longer had an owner to live in, so some valuable treasures were all put away.
In addition, the palace here is cleaned by palace maids and eunuchs every day, which naturally has a lot more popularity.
More popularity, sometimes a lot worse.
walked like this until Yun Zhu felt that his legs were sore, and the dark leader who led the way in front finally stopped.
"Please wait a moment." Turning around and saying to Shu Sirui and Yun Zhu, the dark commander 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, saw the eunuch nodded respectfully, and went directly into the imperial study.
"See the Emperor." At this time, the emperor was on official business, and when he heard a voice, the emperor looked up and looked down.
"Get up, what's the matter with you?" Normally, the Dark Guard Commander will only appear when the Emperor summons him, or if something happens, otherwise, he will rarely appear in front of the Emperor.
"If you go back to the emperor, your subordinates have brought General Shu and his wife to you on your orders." Speaking in a respectful tone, the Dark Commander answered the Emperor's question.
"Well, let them in." As soon as he heard that Shu Sirui and his daughter-in-law were coming, the emperor put down the Zhu Pi in his hand and gave an order to the secret commander.
In response, the Dark Commander retreated, and after a while, he brought Shu Sirui and Yunzhu into the imperial study.
"The grass people (women) ask the emperor for peace, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" Now, Shu Sirui is no longer a general, so he naturally wants to call himself a grass man.
"Get up." Waving his hand at the two, the emperor motioned for the two to get up, "Shu Qing, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, everything is fine with the grass people, thank you for the emperor's concern." Saluting the emperor again, Shu Sirui said in a respectful tone.
Shu Sirui was like this, so that the emperor's face suddenly showed a ghost-like expression, and he stared at Shu Sirui for a long time, as if he wanted to determine whether he was the real Shu Sirui.
"You, look up." Speaking again, the emperor simply stood up from his chair and walked to Shu Sirui's side.
Hearing the emperor's order, Shu Sirui raised his head and let the emperor look at him seriously.
"It's a real person, what?" Shu Sirui has served the emperor for many years, and the emperor still knows very well what his character is.
According to the past, he asked Shu Sirui if he was okay, and Shu Sirui could return four words at most, 'Weichen is very good', but today, he actually said a few words, no wonder the emperor was surprised.
When the emperor said this, Shu Sirui's eyes couldn't help but flash helplessness, because of Yunzhu's relationship, he did have more words than in the past, and because of this, he had already encountered such a situation several times.
However, because his words have increased, his grandfather is very happy, and his impression of Yunzhu is better.
It's a pity that this point is not helpful in the Shu family.
"This woman is your wife?" His eyes fell on Yunzhu's body, originally the emperor let them enter the palace, mainly to see Yunzhu.
"If you go back to the emperor, it's exactly." Hearing the emperor ask about Yunzhu, Shu Sirui's eyes couldn't help but flash with worry, don't look at the emperor's young age, but he is a thoughtful person.
He vaguely guessed that the emperor let them enter the palace for the purpose of Yunzhu, speaking of which, he was really worried that the emperor would hurt Yunzhu.
If it was the Shu family's side, Shu Sirui was not worried, because he could compete and find a way to protect Yunzhu, but now that he was facing the emperor, with his current situation, there was no way to resist at all.
However, he had already thought in his heart that no matter who it was, as long as he wanted to hurt Yun Zhu, he had to pass this level, unless he died, otherwise, he would definitely try his best to protect Yun Zhu, even if the other party was the emperor.
Hearing Shu Sirui's response, the emperor nodded, he walked to Yun Zhu's side and looked at Yun Zhu carefully.
At this time, Yunzhu lowered her head, she understood that although she was in the palace just now, she could secretly look around, but here, she would never do that, so she stood in place in a proper manner, letting the emperor look at her.
I have to say that this emperor's gaze is indeed different from others, Yun Zhu can feel it, and his eyes are like knives, sharp and terrifying.
Although Yunzhu was born in a peasant family, her previous life was a modern person after all, so in the face of the emperor's scrutiny, Yunzhu did not show the slightest cowardice, she just stood there, letting the emperor look at herself.
In her opinion, it's just a matter of taking a closer look, and she can't do without meat, as long as the emperor doesn't want his own life, then everything is easy to say.
Surprise flashed in his eyes, but the emperor didn't expect that a peasant girl would be able to withstand her own scrutiny.
Speaking of which, in the harem, the queen was able to stand for a while under her own scrutiny, and the rest of the concubines, if they looked at it with the same gaze as they did just now, they were afraid that they would have knelt on the ground in fright.
It's no wonder that his love will look at this peasant girl differently, and it is indeed a bit extraordinary.
Although she is a peasant girl, her attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and her demeanor does not look like a peasant girl, but rather the appearance of a daughter of a family.
Is the woman in front of her really just an ordinary peasant girl?
