With the knife at his neck, the boss dared not say a word. If these guys dared to forget him in the palace, then they would have the guts to bury the body in the palace!
"Xiao Wei," Gu Xinglang called Xiao Wei and shook his head. They were still in the palace, why were they fighting among themselves?
When the boss saw that Gu Xinglang was on his side, he felt victorious again, and snorted at Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei put away the knife with a stern face, put it back into the sheath, looked at Li Wan, and said to the boss: "You have got what you wanted now, but I don't know if Miss Li is willing to follow you."
Xiao Wei's words touched the sore spot of the boss. He had met Li Wan for a whole night and a whole morning, but Li Wan had only spoken to him when they first met. The boss knew that he regarded Li Wan as a treasure, but how could the boss know what Li Wan thought of him when Li Wan didn't say anything?
Gu Xinglang also looked at Li Wan who was still sitting like a wooden man, thought for a moment, and said, "Princess Li, Miss Li, Yuan Le is in the palace."
When Li Wan heard Gu Xinglang mention Li Yuanle, her eyes moved.
Gu Xinglang said: "The emperor has already set up a mourning hall for you."
After hearing this, Li Wan's lips trembled at first, and then her whole body began to tremble.
"What's wrong with her?" Seeing that Li Wan shivered at Gu Xinglang's words, the boss asked Gu Xinglang hurriedly.
Gu Xinglang was also very surprised, because he didn't say anything extraordinary.
Xiao Wei touched his nose and said, "Prince Consort, Miss Li is afraid of being charged with deceiving the emperor." Xiao Wei was embarrassed to say the rest. His prince consort must have spent too much time with the princess, so talking about the crime of deceiving the emperor was as natural as saying that he had eaten three bowls of rice today. Should he ignore the emperor's majesty like that?
The head of the family looked at Li Wan and said, "The crime of deceiving the emperor? The princess and her husband are not afraid of it, so what are you afraid of? I will take you out of the palace. What can you do in the palace just guarding a clay statue? Don't worry, our good days are ahead."
"Find them two sets of imperial guard uniforms," Gu Xinglang said to Xiao Wei at this time, "and say they are escorting me back to the palace."
"Is this okay?" Xiao Wei asked.
Gu Xinglang said: "The emperor has no time to care about us right now, so let's do it this way. After we leave the palace, who will ask the emperor for clarification? We are just two imperial guards."
Xiao Wei thought about it and it made sense. He answered Gu Xinglang, then turned around and went out to find the official uniforms of the palace guards.
The boss squatted in front of Li Wan with a smile on his face and said, "It's all right now!"
Li Wan looked at the big boss, and then at Gu Xinglang who was sitting there and beginning to doze off. She wanted to shout, "Please, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, it can kill people! How can you not care at all?"
After Xiao Wei found two sets of official uniforms for the imperial guards, the boss quickly put them on, but Li Wan sat there motionless.
Xiao Wei couldn't wait any longer and said, "Miss Li, we have done it now. If you haven't cried out for the whole night, it's too late for you to confess and ask us to forgive you. You should leave the palace with us. Otherwise, we will be charged with deceiving the emperor and not only will we die, but the Li family of Chengzhou will also not be able to escape."
"Why are you scaring her?" The boss glared at Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei looked at Li Wan with threatening eyes.
Li Wan had reached this point and there was no way back. She could only go behind the screen and tremblingly put on the official uniform of the Imperial Guard.
Seeing that Gu Xinglang was about to fall asleep, the eldest boss asked curiously, "My Lord, the princess must have been busy last night. You were also busy. How come you are so tired?" He was worried all night and had been in jail and climbed on rockery, but he was not as tired as Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang couldn't open his eyes after closing them. He didn't feel tired. He felt like he was in his eighties. His bones and blood were old and couldn't move. He couldn't move his body anymore. After hearing what the boss said, Gu Xinglang just hummed.
"The prince consort is injured," Xiao Wei pushed the boss aside and covered Gu Xinglang with another blanket.
"Is it normal for him to be like this?" The boss was born a pirate, and his life was full of fighting and killing. He had spent many days recovering from his injuries and watching others recover from their injuries. The boss always felt that if Gu Xinglang only had external injuries, he should not be like this now. He would be sick in broad daylight.
Xiao Wei ignored the boss, but he was also anxious. He thought that after this matter was over, he would talk to the princess and check on Gu Xinglang to see if he had any internal injuries in addition to the external ones.
Li Wan changed her clothes and came out. Xiao Wei had already found the smallest official uniform for her, but it was still too big for Li Wan.
"Won't she arouse suspicion by leaving the palace like this?" The boss felt that anyone who could serve as a member of the imperial guards should not be a fool.
Xiao Wei sighed, stood there and thought for a while, then took off the knife he was wearing, handed it to Li Wan, and said, "I'll go find a sedan chair. You and the prince consort will sit in the sedan chair later. Remember to lower your head. If anyone asks, just say you are guarding the prince consort personally."
Li Wan nodded and held Xiao Wei's knife with difficulty.
The eldest master was still worried, so he stopped Xiao Wei and said, "Can we still ride in a sedan chair in the palace?"
Xiao Wei impatiently shook off the hand held by the head of the family and said, "Just say that the prince consort is not feeling well. The emperor has agreed. Do you have any objection?"
The eldest master shook his head. What opinion could he have? He was just afraid that the emperor would have an opinion.
At this time, Xianzong was sitting with Mo Wen in the hall next to the imperial study. He wanted to talk to Mo Wen several times, but the first thing he did was to invite Mo Wen for tea.
Mo Wen did touch the celadon cup in the Fengtian Imperial Palace with his hand, but did not drink a sip of the tea.
Xianzong laughed and said, "I forgot that you don't drink tea."
Mo Wen also smiled and said, "I drink tea, but I don't feel like drinking it now."
Xianzong couldn't laugh anymore. Why was this guy so troublesome?
Mo Wen looked at Xianzong, his expression changed into a half-smile, and said, "Ningsheng, is Wuhuan really not in your Fengtian?"
Xianzong's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are not feeling well now. He is even afraid of Master Fenglin. Now facing Mo Wen, Xianzong feels that he is about to become a king who loses his country.
Mo Wen asked, "Is it so difficult for you to answer the question of whether it is there or not?"
Xianzong gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I have never met Wuhuan. If Master Wuhuan were to leave Zhuri, he should have told you, right? Master Wuhuan is your beloved disciple. I don't believe he would leave Zhuri without permission. How could Master Wuhuan do such an ignorant thing?"
Mo Wen chuckled and said, "That's right."
Xianzong patted his chest, and his frantically beating heart made him feel uncomfortable. He was trying to save Wuhuan's life, and he didn't know if he was doing the right thing, as he was gambling with the fate of his country. However, Xianzong tilted his head back and drank the whole cup of tea in one breath. People should always do things according to their heart, right? Xianzong thought that it didn't matter whether it was right or wrong, he didn't regret doing it anyway.
