C58 Difficult (1/2)

It was unknown if there was a hand hidden in the shadows that was constantly adding fuel to the conversation, but very few people had discussed the relationship between Prince Consort Ma and his ex-wife, and everyone seemed to be more interested in the treasures of Yuchi Family. The topics of Great Jing and other daily meals, were basically all discussing about what the treasure trove of Yuchi Family looked like, or where it was located … Yuchi Family began to unceasingly recruit thieves.

In the beginning, it was only the little thief, but later on, it was even the martial forces who took advantage of the chaos to recruit him. Yuchi Weirann was so busy that he even forgot about Gu Wangshu's period of anger, and when he remembered, based on the time, Gu Wangshu's period of anger had already passed.

After knowing that Gu Wangshu's fit of anger was over, he didn't know if Gu Wangshu had survived it all by himself, or … He found someone else to help him.

Thinking of this, Yuchi Weirann felt an unspeakable discomfort in his heart. He pondered in his heart, he needed to find a time to meet Gu Wangshu again, and explain everything clearly … I heard that General Pei beat Gu Wangshu up because of the previous affair regarding the affair. I wonder if Gu Wangshu is better now … Also, he misunderstood that Gu Wangshu had schemed against him last time, so he should apologize as well.

Leaving aside the fact that Yuchi Weirann was in a very bad mood, what Yuchi Weirann was planning in his heart, after six or seven days of being in a bad mood, the empress dowager's second summons finally arrived.

Hearing that, Pei Xingyun frowned: ”Shu, you stay here, I will go and send them off.”

However, Gu Wangshu shook his head. ”No, Big Brother, I can hide, but not for far longer than 15. The empress dowager won't be able to see me this time, so next time she'll summon me to the palace.”

Princess Mingfaang was the empress dowager's most beloved princess. If the empress dowager allowed Gu Wangshu to enter the palace, it would definitely make things difficult for him.

”Then I'll go with you.” Pei Xingyun could only take a step back.

Gu Wangshu sighed: How can an official in the harem freely enter and exit? ”Don't worry, since the empress dowager has declared me entering the palace so openly, I won't go overboard. It should be fine.” No one would do such a thing, the empress dowager declared. At the very least, it meant that the empress dowager did not have any intention of killing him. Moreover, with Pei Xingyun's status, even if she wanted to kill him, the empress dowager had to consider the consequences of offending the Guardian God of Great Jing.

Pei Xingyun was still worried and insisted on sending Gu Wangshu to the palace entrance. In the end, he sent Gu Wangshu into the palace with his eyes.

He thought for a bit. It might be inconvenient for him to go to the imperial harem, but with the emperor accompanying him, things would be different. Perhaps, he could ask to see the emperor … Or directly asking Sixth Prince Heelian Mingzhao for help was equivalent to owing Heelian Mingzhao a favor.

The palace that the empress dowager of the Great Jing resided in was called the Eternal Music Palace.

Gu Wangshu followed the eunuch through the winding mountain ponds of the Great Jing Imperial Palace, and only after passing by countless of palaces did he arrive at the gates of the Eternal Music Palace.

Before they had even arrived at the entrance of the Eternal Music Palace, Gu Wangshu could already hear the sounds of playing from afar. There were both women and children.

”Mrs. Pei will wait here first. I'll report to the empress dowager right away.”

”Thank you, Eunuch.”

Gu Wangshu lowered his eyes, using his eyes to look at his nose and heart, looking straight ahead, as if he understood the rules.

The eunuch nodded and entered the palace.

After a while, she returned, ”The empress dowager felt unwell and fell asleep again. I'll have to trouble the Mrs. Pei to wait here. When the empress dowager wakes up, she'll naturally summon me.”

This is... Penalty station? The laughter of the children and women in the palace reached outside. Could the empress dowager really sleep?

Although he understood in his heart, Gu Wangshu still could not say anything.

Just waiting like this, only took more than four hours, which was equivalent to more than eight hours in the modern era. It was fine if Gu Wangshu stood there with his legs sore and numb, but he had also missed his lunch.

When the empress dowager had finished her lunch and the time was almost up, the Princess Mingfaang reminded the empress dowager, ”Royal granny, didn't you want to see that Mrs. Pei on Pei's General Mansion? He's currently waiting outside the Eternal Music Palace.

Her Majesty picked up the delicate handkerchief and wiped her mouth.

”Little Qing, summon him in.”

”This humble subject Gu Wangshu greets the empress dowager.”

Once he entered the Eternal Music Palace, Gu Wangshu could feel several pairs of eyes landing on him, and even some small discussions from the surroundings.

There were those who were curious, those who were watching the show, and even those who were resentful.

He had stood for a long time, and his legs were sore. Now that they were greeted with such respect, his legs began to tremble, but the empress dowager didn't even say he was standing straight before she made him stand. In just two breaths of time, his knees gave out and he fell to his knees.

The empress dowager raised her eyebrows, and only then did she seem to see him, ”Is this from Pei Zi Yun's General Mansion? Since you like to kneel so much, then kneel and reply. ”

It was unknown if it was because he kneeled down too hard and he didn't eat lunch, but Gu Wangshu felt his stomach growing worse.

There was an indescribable pain from falling down. That pain made his face turn pale, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Faced with the empress dowager's difficulties, he could only reply, ”Yes.”
