Guo Feng was shocked when he saw the token.
Now that I recall it...
Throughout the capital, there are many places where the symbol of the Sanxingdui Sun Bird can be faintly seen.
He hadn't paid much attention to it when he saw it before.
However, when he saw the symbol of the sun bird engraved on the imperial edict, with its head and tail connected, encircling the sun.
He suddenly realized!
He couldn't help but point to the symbol on the imperial edict and ask, "What is this symbol?"
"The symbol of the Emperor of the Yan Yang Empire. Only the Imperial Palace in the entire empire can manufacture such a symbol. Seeing this symbol is like seeing the Emperor himself."
The Ninth Steward hurriedly said, "Therefore, Young Master Guo, this imperial decree is not only a symbol of entry and exit, but also a symbol of status."
"oh."
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow and asked again, "How did this symbol appear? Which emperor left it behind?"
"This servant doesn't know; it must have happened ten thousand years ago."
The Ninth Steward hurriedly shook his head, then reminded him, "Young Master Guo, this concerns matters concerning the Emperor. In the future, do not ask about it casually when you are outside."
"clear."
Guo Feng's mood had calmed down considerably. He nodded and put away the imperial decree.
Then he and the Ninth Steward walked back.
We chatted along the way.
But while Ninth Steward seemed enthusiastic, he was actually cautious, and would chat as much as possible with those he could.
If there's something you can't talk about, he'll usually change the subject.
Before long, they returned to the front hall of the council chamber.
Qin Yu and the other person quickly stood up.
"Prince Qin, His Majesty has important matters to attend to today and will not be receiving you. Please leave."
The Ninth Steward looked at the two of them and said in a somewhat distant tone.
"ah?!"
Qin Yu's expression changed, and she hurriedly asked, "Didn't we agree to have an audience with His Majesty?"
"Are you just spouting nonsense?"
Guo Feng immediately cursed at Qin Yu, "The Empress said she doesn't want to see you, which means she has something to discuss with you. Get lost."
"presumptuous!"
The old man flew into a rage, "How dare a mere child like you roar in the Hall of State Affairs?!"
Qin Yu also shouted, "That's right, who are you? A gigolo, daring to be here..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Guo Feng take out the imperial decree.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Everyone hurriedly knelt down and bowed to the Emperor's decree.
Then, they stood up in shock.
Qin Yu stared blankly at Guo Feng, "Imperial Decree? Why do you have an Imperial Decree?"
I found it on the road.
Guo Feng sneered.
"How is that possible!" Qin Yu exclaimed in disbelief.
"You know it's impossible, why are you still asking? Are you out of your mind?"
Guo Feng rolled his eyes at Qin Yu, then looked at the Ninth Chief Steward, "Ninth Chief Steward, I have the Emperor's decree, so there shouldn't be any problem with me killing this hostage from the Roaring Council Hall, right?"
"Forehead……"
The Ninth Chief Steward was taken aback, then chuckled dryly, “Theoretically, if one holds the Emperor’s decree and is seen before His Majesty, one can carry out punishments on His Majesty’s behalf, acting first and reporting later.”
At that moment, he suddenly understood what Guo Feng meant when he said that Guo Feng was a born playboy.
In the council hall, he dared to execute the hostage from the royal city.
If he were outside, wouldn't he dare to execute even the highest officials and ministers?
Did you hear that?
Guo Feng was feeling great at that moment. He never expected that the feudal imperial system could also have such a satisfying side.
A small sign can determine life and death!
As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Qin Yu.
He wasn't joking.
If Qin Yu said another word, he would kill him.
"yes……"
Qin Yu was furious.
However, this kid holds the imperial decree and is in the imperial palace. If he really makes a move...
Then Qin Yu, retaliating would be a capital offense.
Not fighting back...
He has to die too!
hateful!
He actually encountered an even more dissolute playboy than himself!
He cupped his hands in farewell and said, “Then we shall take our leave and come to pay our respects to Your Majesty again next time.”
As he spoke, he reluctantly left the front hall of the council chamber with the old man.
"Ninth Steward, farewell."
Guo Feng then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the Ninth Steward.
The Ninth Steward laughed and said, "Young Master Guo, this old servant wishes you a speedy completion of your mission. When that time comes, this old servant will host a grand banquet for you in the palace."
"good."
Guo Feng smiled, and then left the Hall of State Affairs together with Nan Liru, the daughter of the Imperial Tutor.
The two walked out of the imperial palace without saying a word.
After leaving the imperial palace, they boarded a carriage.
Nan Liru asked, "How was it? Did you see Her Majesty the Empress? How did you feel?"
"I feel good, and the Empress is really quite nice."
Guo Feng smiled slightly.
Nan Liru added, "I hope you succeed soon. If you need anything, you can send someone to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion to find us."
"no problem."
Guo Feng nodded.
He could also tell that Nan Li knew about the task the Empress had given him.
This indicates that the Imperial Tutor's residence was the Empress's confidant.
He then thought that Nan Liru claimed that the Imperial Tutor's Mansion was the most powerful intelligence agency in the entire empire.
The Empress also said that she possessed the most powerful intelligence agency.
Therefore, he quickly guessed that the Imperial Tutor's Mansion was the Empress's eyes and ears throughout the entire empire.
He then smiled and asked, "If I need information, will you cooperate with me?"
"It depends on what kind of intelligence you need. If it's not top secret, then of course there's no problem."
Nan Li nodded.
"That's good. Give me the information about Guo Xiaoyi, the hostage of Guo Wangcheng, and also the details of the Six Harmonies Sect."
Guo Feng didn't stand on ceremony and immediately spoke up.
"I'll have someone deliver it to the Princess's residence first thing tomorrow morning."
Nan Liru did not refuse.
A short while later, the carriage stopped at the Princess's residence. Guo Feng got out of the carriage and bid farewell to Nan Liru.
