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.
"Five days later?" Chu Yunge could not help but shake her head, "There's no time. Five days later is the last day of royal father's two month deadline. I can't stand that. "
Ji Guzi extended out his fist and smashed it onto Chu Yunge's head, "Foolish disciple, what happened to your brain? Five days from now it will be an election, and the first round will definitely be held tomorrow. "
Ji Guzi took out a black pellet and handed it over to Chu Yunge, "At that time, you just need to dissolve this pellet and let your royal father consume it, then you can temporarily suppress his illness. When the time is right, I will follow you to the palace and cure your royal father's poison."
To be honest, Chu Yunge was a little flustered. She had just tasted the warmth of a family member, so she didn't want to return to her ice-cold appearance so quickly.
"At that time, Xiao Ge and I will sneak in as the beautiful maiden who is going to choose an imperial concubine. We will find the right time to mix the antidote into royal father's medicine. Everything will have to wait until we know the situation, or else we would all be guessing here. "
"Alright, let's do it." Ji Guzi clapped his hands, "I'll go and get something to disguise myself now. I'll definitely dress the two of you up beautifully in the morning!"
"Thank you." Chu Yunge really enjoyed this feeling. She didn't care about many things, and things that could make her feel helpless were even rarer. In fact, when she was feeling helpless, there was someone that could decide for her.
"Tsk, what's the point of speaking so verbally, master wants to see what happens!" Ji Guzi opened his eyes wide, looked at Chu Yunge and then at Feng Yi!
Chu Yunge was moved from the bottom of her heart, "I think the two of you should get together." They were all experts who had destroyed the atmosphere.
The three teased for a while, and then split into three groups. Ji Guzi went to look for the things to use tomorrow's disguise techniques, Feng Yi went to clean up his clothes, packed up the things needed for the concubine selection process, and so on. Chu Yunge, on the other hand, was wandering around the palace searching for information.
"Sister, these clothes are really pretty." A lady in front of Chu Yunge said.
"Is that so? Big Sister's clothes are also very good-looking. She looks simple and elegant, unique and unusually clean. The Emperor will definitely like her. " The woman shyly lowered her head and looked at her simple attire.
From a distance, Chu Yunge could tell that these clothes belonged to a girl from a poor family. However, this was not to say how her clothes were like.
She was dozens of miles away from the clothes of all the young ladies in her memories. She had already activated the palace's fighting mode without even stepping into the palace.
Chu Yunge walked forward, and under the cover of the human skin mask that she did not have, Chu Yunge removed her head from a girl's bun, "Sisters, are you here to choose your wives?"
The two of them sat on the carriage and looked up and down at Chu Yunge. Her face looked alright, but her clothes were too unbecoming. "True?"
"Yes, yes." Chu Yunge nodded.
The blue and white girls looked at each other and shook their heads. "We are not here to choose a consort. You should ask someone else." After saying that, the two men put their hands down and the curtain was pulled back.
Chu Yunge was also speechless, she did not learn the good things in the palace, but the bad ones learned quite quickly. Chu Yunge sat on the splint on the horse carriage and started to sob.
His shoulders shook, and the sound became louder and louder. Life was like a play, it was all thanks to his acting skills!
Chu Yunge began to sob and cry, "Why is the Heavenly Dao so unfair, why is it that all kinds of misfortunes come to me, why have I never had parents since I was young, why was I adopted by that malicious aunt …"
The two people in the carriage slowly stuck their heads out.
"Ever since I was young, I knew that I was a child without parents, so I didn't ask for anyone's love. But my aunt called me to work every day, yet didn't give me any food to eat or serve my young brother. She treated me like a big horse and I knelt on the ground with my knees worn out and even slept on straw at night.
I thought it would be better when I grew up, but I didn't think that my aunt would actually want to sell me to my silly son in the next village. Now that I've come across a consort selection, she wants me to try my luck at the palace and earn them even more silver coins. "
"Hai." The woman inside the car felt uncomfortable. After all, they were all girls, yet she was subjected to so many injustices.
"I don't want to enter the palace, I don't want to choose an imperial concubine, I don't want to ruin my own youth, and even more so, I don't want to be the funeral partner of others! But if I don't go, my aunt says she'll burn my face with a soldering iron and marry me off to a silly son. " Chu Yunge began to cry loudly, her petite voice trembling on the board, anyone who saw her would feel sympathy for her.
"Ai, I didn't expect your life to be so bitter." Now they understood why she was dressed in men's clothes. Perhaps her wicked aunt had never bought her clothes, and even when she chose a wife, she had to wear the rest of her brother's clothes.
"Actually, we are here to choose a consort. We just don't want to have too many competitors."
Chu Yunge's teary eyes looked up and she sobbed, "Really? Can the two sisters tell me something? "
Little girl, Mu Zhaoxue was so scheming, yet he had never taken advantage of her before, how could he lie to her?
