C138 (1/2)

Furthermore, when had anyone ever chosen a wife for the Great Chu? Which one of their imperial concubines were not members of the royal family? Other than her mother, every single one of them had their uses for the Great Chu.

Third Brother would definitely stop him if he was here, but the fact that this preposterous leaderboard had been posted meant that even Third Brother was unable to stop him.

”Something happened in the palace …”

For some reason, Chu Yunge's heart began to panic. She couldn't wait to get to the Great Chu Palace, as unease filled her heart.

Chu Yunge's mind did not stop moving, it was as if she was running to the palace. Feng Yi also saw some clues, on the way here, he saw more than a dozen people with Worryfree Hall.

Looking at the street just now, a third of the people there looked suspicious. They had only been away from Big Chu for two months, yet their Worryfree Hall had already seeped to such an extent.

Seeing that the scarlet city wall in front was getting closer, Chu Yunge increased her speed.

”Stop!” ”Who is it!?” Chu Yunge ran in a hurry, she did not even look at the two sides of the road, just as she was about to reach the city gates, she was blocked by a pair of swords.

”Are you blind? Can't you tell who I am? Get out of the way.” With her fame and fame in Chu, no one would be able to stop her just based on her face, Chu Yunge pushed the blade away.

One of the guards standing by the side of the hall stood back in front of Chu Yunge. ”The Emperor has given the order that the Imperial Palace can only come out and not go in before the general election.”

”What do you mean by 'don't come in'? It's all bullshit. Move aside.” It was impossible for his royal father to give such a foolish and preposterous order, ”You dare to falsely pass down the imperial edict, what crime should you be punished for?”

Facing Chu Yunge's insults, the armored guard became impatient. He pushed his blade and sword backwards, the blade and spine pressing against Chu Yunge's shoulder, as if Chu Yunge was going to grab her if he were to say it again.

Chu Yunge looked at the unfamiliar faces, all of them were staring at her, but no one recognized her as Imperial Protector Princess.

”I'll say it one last time. Today, this princess' palace is definitely going to enter!” Chu Yunge purposely revealed her identity as the princess. Regardless of the situation, whether or not the palace was controlled by others, she had to go into the tiger cave and bring Ji Guzi to see her father immediately!

The several tall guards exchanged looks with each other before clasping their hands together and kneeling down at the same time. ”We pay our respects to the princess.”

”Let me in. I don't have the time to chat with you guys here. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite.”

”Princess, this order was indeed given by the emperor. We as his subjects couldn't possibly go against it, but this might not include the princess. Should I go inside to inform the emperor and ask him?”

Looks like the palace is really under control. The people guarding the gates even know the most basic rules and regulations of the palace and from start to finish, he did not call out her name. A mere guard claiming to be his official, and even threatened to meet the emperor?

”There's no need. This princess will personally ask for it. You can leave now.” Chu Yunge lifted her leg and left.

The guard hugged Chu Yunge's leg, ”Princess! Please forgive us! ” The guard hugged his thighs as he shouted to the guards in the city, ”Do you have any discernment? Why don't you go back and spread the news!”

The guard standing on the other side of the door immediately turned around.

Feng Yi, who was behind Chu Yunge, rose into the air and shot through the crowd like a white shadow. The guards at the gates wanted to close the gates, but it was too late. Feng Yi had already entered the city gate and dragged out the guard who went to inform on them.

Half of his body was dragged along the ground. Suddenly, his hand grabbed Feng Yi's wrist from the back as a cloud of white ash flew out from the gaps of the guard's fingers.

Feng Yi felt a slight burning pain on his wrist. He swung his hand, turned around and pulled Chu Yunge away from the palace gate.

The guard who was initially squatting on the ground also straightened his body and chased after Chu Yunge. With a wave of Ji Guzi's hands, two silver needles flew out, and when the guard saw them, the needles were already in front of his face.

The two guards each had a needle on their cheek.

Ji Guzi retracted his hand, and in a flash, chased after his.

In a secluded farmyard, Feng Yi put Chu Yunge down, ”Yun Ge, calm down, you should know what they want to do.”

”Our whereabouts have already been exposed. Since they can change the people guarding the city, it means that they have most likely taken control of the palace. We have to make proper preparations for this matter.”

”But since royal father's condition is already so severe, I can't afford to think over and plan things out properly.” Chu Yunge took two deep breaths. She had indeed been too anxious just now, and had wholeheartedly wanted to bring Ji Guzi into the palace.

”Isn't it said on the Emperor's list that consort selection will begin in five days? That was our chance. ” Ji Guzi also started to come up with ideas on the side.
