Sandwiched between two red walls, in the corridor, Gu Yangyang was at the end of the team, walking quickly forward with her head down.

After some explanation and verification, she finally entered the palace as a young eunuch.

The palace was solemn and silent, more magnificent and solemn than what was seen on TV dramas. The patrolling soldiers passing by exuded a murderous aura, so she dared not raise her head or look around.

She was small and inconspicuous in the team, not to mention that she kept her head down.

"Okay, you guys go in. Remember, talk less! Only by following the rules can you survive!" The team stopped and the leading guard said in a cold voice.

A group of people nodded silently and buried their heads even lower.

The captain of the guards stepped up the steps and whispered a few words to the person guarding the entrance of the palace, and then the guards entered the palace.

Not long after, the soldier came out, nodded to the captain of the guards, and said to Gu Yangyang and others below: "Go in, remember to follow the rules! Don't talk too much, don't look too much!"

After saying this, the palace door opened.

After climbing five or six steps, Gu Yangyang followed at the end of the team, bent over, and slowly walked into the hall.

Because she was at the end of the line, the guards standing outside immediately closed the door after she entered the hall.

Although the sound of the palace door closing was not loud, the sudden noise still made the nervous Gu Yangyang shiver involuntarily...

She didn't know what would happen next, but they had been screened beforehand, and now they were brought to this spacious hall, probably to meet someone extraordinary...

As she guessed this, Gu Yangyang couldn't help but think of what the storyteller had said -

The late emperor was not dead, but turned into an inhuman monster, hiding in the imperial mausoleum, traveling back and forth between the palace and the mausoleum through the secret passage connecting the two...

[Oh no! What the storyteller said can’t be true...]

[The person I'm going to meet next won't really be a monster...]

The more she thought about it, the more nervous Gu Yangyang became.

She kept her head down, her eyes fixed on her fingertips, and therefore did not notice the figure that paused slightly behind the bead curtain in front of her.

......

“Da, da, da…”

Steady footsteps came from the front, and the slow footsteps revealed the master's majesty.

In the end, Gu Yangyang couldn't help but raised her eyes slightly and looked forward.

Due to the angle, she could only see a small patch of hazy bright yellow in her field of vision...

The golden lines and dragon claws flying in the clouds are lifelike...

She was shocked and didn't dare to look anymore!

"Everyone raise your heads!"

A guard standing in the front left corner shouted.

In an instant, the quiet palace became even quieter. Only a group of young eunuchs kneeling below raised their heads tremblingly, including Gu Yangyang.

Her face was too conspicuous, fair and cute, and charming in her innocentness. The guard was slightly stunned and didn't react for a long time...

"What's wrong?" A slightly cold and casual voice came from behind. It didn't sound old, but rather young.

The guard was startled, and immediately came to his senses. He bowed respectfully and said to the person behind him: "Your Majesty, the newly selected eunuchs are here. Please have a look..."

The leader did not answer, but pondered for a while. After sweeping his eyes over the people kneeling below, he looked at the guards. His heavy gaze made it difficult for him to breathe.

The guard didn't know what he had done wrong. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He knelt down tremblingly, "Your Majesty..."

"Okay, go down."

"yes......"

The guard stood up from the ground as if relieved, lowered his head and tiptoed out.

The absence of one person in the hall did not make Gu Yangyang feel much more relaxed. Instead, she felt that the anxiety and tension in the air became more obvious.

Fortunately, the new emperor's voice sounded very young, which slightly alleviated Gu Yangyang's uneasiness.

......

"Hehe..." The new emperor suddenly laughed.

The laughter was a little sudden in the silent hall.

Gu Yangyang was slightly stunned. For some reason, she could hear a hint of joy in this short laugh...

And this laughter that revealed her emotions suddenly made her feel somewhat familiar...

But because of the screen and the beaded curtain, she couldn't see clearly the person sitting above her.

"The one at the back, come to the front, the rest of you get out..."

The voice rang out, clearer than before, and the characteristics in the voice were more obvious.

Gu Yangyang was kneeling, she never thought that she would be the chosen one!

Watching the people around her stand up and line up to walk out, she knelt on the empty ground, feeling the chill...

The palace door closed and the new emperor's young voice sounded again.

"Why don't you come to the front?"

Hearing the urging in the other party's voice, Gu Yangyang didn't dare to delay any longer. She quickly got up from the ground and slowly moved forward.

When she came to the screen, she stopped and was about to kneel down, but was stopped again.

"Didn't I tell you to come to the front? Why are you kneeling there?"

Helplessly, Gu Yangyang had to straighten her knees again awkwardly and looked forward through the screen.

[If I don’t kneel here, do you want me to go behind the screen...? ]

As if to confirm what she was thinking, the young new emperor's voice sounded again:

"Don't stand there stupidly outside the screen. Come inside. Why is my personal eunuch so stupid and slow?"

Gu Yangyang: “…”

【......】

This was the first time that Gu Yangyang was said to like this, especially when the other party said this, the tone was particularly casual, and there was a hint of teasing in the low voice...

It sounds more like it was done on purpose.

But even though Gu Yangyang was slightly dissatisfied, she did not have the courage to openly challenge the new emperor.

She lowered her head, curled her lips secretly, and responded to the other party a few words in her heart, then slowly moved out from behind the screen and walked slowly behind the beaded curtain...

When she reached two small steps, she realized that she couldn't go any further, so she thought about kneeling down.

But this time, she still failed.

Because just as she was about to kneel down, a very clear bright yellow light appeared in front of her eyes, and a faint smell of ambergris penetrated into her nostrils...

Her arms were also firmly held by the person in front of her.

"My personal eunuch has the right to be exempted from kneeling..."
