"Imperial edict!" Gu Junwen suddenly opened his eyes completely.
She was a nobody, but she also cherished her life. The best way to save her life in the fierce and dangerous Kyoto was to be cautious and not give anyone a chance to take advantage of her.
"An'an, help me delay for a few minutes." Gu Junwen suddenly stuffed the quilt into Shen An'an's arms and disappeared into the inner room.
"Young Master, please hurry up!" The voice of the eunuch delivering the imperial eunuch outside the door came one after another, as if he was going to shout to death here if Gu Jun couldn't hear him.
It happened so fast that Shen Anan only felt a flash of light before her eyes, and Gu Junwen had already opened the door in neat clothes.
With lightning speed, she cut off the sharp voice of the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict. As a result, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was unable to catch his breath and started coughing heart-wrenchingly.
"Gu Junwen received the order."
Upon hearing this, Gu Junwen and the servants in the courtyard knelt down immediately.
The eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict cleared his throat and took out the imperial edict from his wide sleeves:
The Emperor, in the name of Heaven and Earth, proclaims: "Gu Junwen, the young general of the Gu family, is prudent, diligent, gentle, kind, gentle, and virtuous. Since he came to the capital, he has been very pleasing to my heart. I hereby appoint him as the chief of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Gates, and he will take office tomorrow. I also grant him a jade ruyi and a red bead bracelet. I decree this!"
"Your servant, Gu Junwen, thanks the Lord for his grace." Gu Junwen accepted the order and expressed his gratitude.
"General Gu, you are so lucky." The eunuch handed the imperial edict to Gu Junwen, "General Gu, please come to the palace later to express your gratitude."
"Thank you for the reminder, An'an." Gu Junwen bowed again, and Shen An'an tactfully stuffed a bag of money into the eunuch's hand.
The eunuch who was in charge of the imperial edict weighed the money bag quietly, and immediately became very happy. He smiled and pulled Gu Junwen:
"General Gu, I have to say a few words. There are two other noble ladies in the palace who also like you very much. Just keep this in mind."
"Thank you very much."
Gu Junwen watched the eunuchs carrying the imperial edict walk away, and began to mutter to himself:
"My two nobles? I don't have many acquaintances in the palace."
"Host, ask me. If you ask me, I know." System 101 suddenly jumped out, trying its best to show its presence.
"Oh, then tell me about it." Gu Junwen was just thinking about it and didn't want to know the answer. For her, everything should just take its course.
But System 101 is so active, so give it a chance to show itself.
"It must be Empress Su and Noble Lady Yao. Master, think about it, you have already become the darling of Kyoto because of the unfounded military token, and now you have been given an official position, so naturally everyone will fight for you. The two ladies will inevitably fight for their sons."
"That makes sense." Gu Junwen stroked his chin, "Tongtong, since I have already made up my mind and must choose the male lead, I will naturally hide away."
"It's good enough as long as the host knows it clearly." System 101 was very satisfied with Gu Junwen's understanding.
"Sir." Shen Anan raised her voice again, "We should also prepare to go to the palace to express our gratitude."
"Got it, let's go now." Gu Junwen brushed the dust off his pants.
"La la la" Gu Junwen hummed a tuneless little song and walked slowly towards the direction of the palace.
That's right, walking.
"Major General Gu, Major General Gu." From afar, the sounds of horse hooves, wheels and a familiar voice were heard.
It was Shen Anan who reacted first: "Sir, it's that idiot Lin Lin."
Lin Lin? Ye Nanyi's bodyguard.
Gu Junwen turned around and saw that it was indeed Lin Lin driving a carriage coming from the direction of the palace.
"Hey." Lin Lin pulled the reins and jumped off the carriage. "General Gu, you are going to the palace too. What a coincidence, we are going the same way. Why don't I give you a ride?"
"No need." Gu Junwen waved her hand. Although her mission was to help the male protagonist, she didn't have the mind to follow Ye Nanyi all the time.
It's too much of a waste of brain and mood.
"How can I do that? My prince is such a warm-hearted person, and you live under the same roof with my prince. We'll see each other every day. It's only right that I give you a ride."
Lin Lin lied without thinking, and Gu Junwen just shook his head and said, "No, no, I'll just walk."
Just like that, Lin Lin and Gu Junwen refused three times until a deep and angry voice came from inside the car: "Get in."
"Okay." Gu Junwen's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees after hearing that, and he got on the carriage directly, so fast that Lin Lin couldn't react.
"An An, you go back first." The carriage went away, leaving only Gu Junwen's drawn-out voice.
"Sir," Shen Anan took two more steps, "be careful."
The atmosphere in the carriage was depressing
"Gu Junwen." Ye Nanyi took the lead in breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Here!" Gu Junwen stood up and answered reflexively.
Ye Nan gave her a strange look and said, "Sit down and talk."
"Oh, oh, oh." Gu Junwen finally reacted, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
"You are a straightforward person." Ye Nanyi nodded approvingly, "I will consider what you told me a few days ago, but you need to prove your ability."
"Is it possible?" Gu Junwen's voice became smaller and smaller due to the forced silencing of System 101.
"What did you say?" Ye Nan leaned forward slightly.
"I mean yes." Gu Junwen twisted his body somewhat unaccustomed and leaned forward.
"Your Highness, we've arrived at the palace gate!" Lin Lin lifted the car curtain and then put it down skillfully.
The dead memories attack again.
"Your Highness, what do you need me to do?" Even though Gu Junwen was reluctant, he had to speak.
"It's very simple," Ye Nan straightened his wrinkled robes, looked into Gu Junwen's eyes and said word by word, "I want you to investigate the Duiyanyuan case until you find out the truth."
The carriage was once again filled with a strange atmosphere.
Gu Junwen opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, which made Ye Nanyi tired. Ye Nanyi was about to ask Gu Junwen if he was okay, but Gu Junwen spoke.
"Well, Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't do it." Gu Junwen bravely tried to defend himself.
Ye Nanyi looked at her and said, "You are now the chief of the Ministry of Justice. You are close to the water and have the upper hand. Isn't it easy to investigate?"
"The chief of the Simen Si, to put it simply, is the person who looks after the door keys." Gu Junwen explained patiently.
She is very satisfied with her job as a janitor, and is happy with just being a layperson.
However, Gu Junwen always felt that there was something strange about this year's male lead - Ye Nanyiyi?
I don’t know if he is pretending to be a dandy too well or if he is really not sure?
"Ahem." Ye Nan coughed twice to cover up and strategically changed the subject. "Anyway, this matter is left to you. You can decide for yourself." He said awkwardly and immediately got off the carriage first.
"Okay, okay," Gu Junwen shrugged helplessly. It just means she has to work.
I don’t know why, but today is another day that makes me want to go back to Saibei even more.
Look at the clouds on the horizon, do they look like the Yebei Military Headquarters in the northern frontier?
