After walking for a while, Zu'an suddenly asked in surprise, "This isn't the way out of the palace, is it?"
Zhu Xie Chixin replied, "What I just said was for the eunuch to hear. The Emperor has already informed me of your identity as an Embroidered-Robe Envoy. I will take you to your residence in the palace first."
"Living in the palace?" Zu'an was genuinely surprised.
Zhu Xie replied with a sincere heart: "The Embroidered-Robed Envoy is the Emperor's most trusted secret agent, and naturally he will be on standby in the palace at any time."
"Oh." Zuan was somewhat excited. Living in the palace was the dream of countless keyboard warriors on the internet in his previous life.
The palace is so mysterious, and there are all sorts of beautiful empresses and princesses...
Bah! I'm a decent person, that's why I'm different from them.
At this moment, Zhu Xie Chixin warned, "Although the Embroidered-Robe Envoy is deeply trusted by the Emperor and can live outside the inner palace, he must not enter the inner palace without an imperial edict. Otherwise, if he is discovered, it will be a disaster that will lead to the confiscation of his family property and the extermination of his clan. You must understand this."
Zu An nodded. That's more like it. How could the emperor be completely without any precautions?
Along the way, Zhu Xie Chixin led him along secluded paths, and they did not encounter any concubines or palace maids.
Soon the two arrived at a secluded courtyard. Zhu Xiechi handed him a key token: "This is your residence. This is the key to unlock the courtyard's restrictions. Remember the route you took from the Imperial Study. The Emperor often summons you to the Imperial Study."
As cultivators, their sea of consciousness is far stronger than that of ordinary people. At a certain level, photographic memory is a basic skill, so he is not worried that he will not remember after only visiting Zu'an once.
"What about the other places? I'm not familiar with this place yet. How about the Grand Commander shows me around?" Zu'an asked.
Zhu Xie Chixin looked at him warily: "Other places are where concubines, princesses, and young princes hang out. They're not places you should be going. What do you want to do?"
Zuan's heart skipped a beat: "I was just asking casually, haha, thanks for the reminder, Commander."
Zhu Xiechi thought he was just curious about the palace because he came from a small place, so he didn't take it to heart: "Go inside first and familiarize yourself with the place, then I'll take you to your residence outside the palace."
