The grey-clothed person cupped his hands and smiled apologetically. "Brothers, this lowly one is here to find Lady Lu Yi, who is working in the Cheng De Palace. Please inform her."

"Lady Lu Yi?" The Imperial Guard looked him up and down, "Who are you to her?"

"Little person …" The man in gray rolled his eyes slightly and said smoothly, "This little one is Green-clothed's cousin. I haven't seen her for many years. I came to Jinling to do some stuff and also came to visit her."

The Imperial Guard's expression was cold. "The two of us are on duty right now. We can't leave this place. You should go back and wait."

The man in gray spoke with a troubled expression, "This little one will be leaving today. I don't know what I will come back for next time, so I would like to ask you two big brothers to help me out." After saying that, he stuffed a silver ingot into the hands of the two Imperial Guards.

After receiving the heavy silver, the attitude of the two Imperial Guards became much better. The one from just now said: "We are indeed unable to leave, but there are many Palace Masters who can go to Chengde Palace to inform them."

"Thank you, big brothers, thank you!" After a while, an old eunuch with a head of white hair came over, but he didn't see the two Imperial Guards move. Seeing that the old eunuch was about to leave, the grey-clothed man who was waiting outside the palace couldn't help but move to the side of one of the Imperial Guards.

"Do you really think that anyone can order us around? This is a fourth rank palace overseer, and he's also the most popular person in front of His Majesty. He can order us around."

The commotion on their side alarmed Huai En. He shook his whisk and walked over, "What's wrong? Who is he? "

The two Imperial Guards hastily bowed and greeted him. "Reporting to Eunuch Huai, he claims to be the cousin of Lady Lu Yi. He has come to Jinling to see Lady Lu."

Wynn's brows slightly rose. "Lu Yi's cousin? Why have I never heard of Emmie mentioning it? "

The man in gray quickly said, "I'm a little far from Emmie, and I haven't seen it for many years. Naturally, I don't mention it too much, but as long as I say my name, Emmie will definitely remember it."

Wynn glanced at his hands and asked casually, "What's your name?"

The man in gray hurriedly said, "My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Hu."

Wyon nodded. "When we were here just now, we heard the orders from the king to go handle some matters. I'm afraid she won't be able to make it in a short time."

Hearing this, the gray-clothed man called Wang Hu became anxious, "Then what do we do? I really want to meet Lu Yi." Saying this, he bowed to Wynne, "Eunuch, please help me."

Wyon shook his head. "Forget about it. We are softhearted. Come with us."

Seeing that he was going to bring Wang Hu in, the Imperial Guard asked worriedly, "Eunuch Huai, he is an outsider after all, is it alright to bring him in like this? "What if …"

Wyon saw through his thoughts as he smiled: "Are you afraid that you are an assassin?"

The Imperial Guard chuckled. "I am a little worried."

When Wang Hu heard their conversation, he hurriedly waved his hands, "I swear to the heavens, I'm definitely not an assassin. If there's even half a sentence, I'll be struck by lightning. I'll die a horrible death."

Although Wang Hu kept on swearing and swearing, the Imperial Guards were still worried. "Why don't we invite Lady Lu Yi out?"

"Enough." Wyon replied: "If something really happens then we will have to bear the responsibility. You can't be blamed."

Seeing that he insisted, the Imperial Guard didn't say anything more. After all, in terms of official positions, Wayne was far above them.

Wynn waved to Wang Hu who was still standing in place: "What are you waiting for? Let's go."

"Sigh." Wang Hu quickly agreed and followed him towards the palace.

"Don't look around the house, don't say too much, or else we won't be able to save you if you disturb the master who just happened to pass by …" Wynn reminded as he walked.

Wang Hu answered with an absent-minded expression. He just wanted to hurry up and see Lu Yi and tell him that King Rui could join the God's opportunity camp.

At the beginning, one could see the palace maids from time to time, but in the time it took for an incense stick to burn, not a single palace maid could see them. The road was littered with broken branches, fallen leaves, and overgrown weeds; it seemed that it had been a long time since someone had cleaned it.

Although Wang Hu had never been to the palace before, he could tell that this place definitely wasn't the residence of the Son of Heaven. He probed, "Eunuch, this doesn't seem to be Cheng De Palace. Have we taken the wrong path?"

Wyon turned his head and smiled. "When did our family ever say that Lu Yi was in the Hall of Cheng De?"

Wang Hu was stunned. "She was obviously serving at Cheng De Palace."

"It's true that Lu Yi is a servant at Cheng De Palace, but our family also said that His Majesty sent her to do some errands, and this errand is just ahead of us."

Wang Hu looked around and asked curiously, "Eunuch, what is this place and why is it so desolate?"

This is the Cold Palace, a place where all generations of concubines have been deposed. Today, a cold palace overseer came to report that someone had committed suicide in the Cold Palace, and His Majesty sent Lu Yi to deal with it." After a pause, he said, "The Cold Palace is a very sinister place. If it's not necessary, no one is willing to come here.

After they walked for a distance, a palace filled with ruins appeared in Wang Hu's line of sight. As soon as they walked in, they felt a sense of ruin. There were thick spiderwebs and dust everywhere, as if it had been a long time since anyone had lived here.

Wang Hu looked around but didn't see Lu Yi. He looked at Hui En who had his back to him and asked, "Eunuch, where's Lu Yi?"

Wynn slowly turned back, his face wore the same smile as before, "Lu Yi is a palace maid from Cheng De Palace, of course she's serving His Majesty at Cheng De Palace right now."

His words surprised Wang Hu. He blurted out, "Didn't you just say …" Halfway through his words, he seemed to understand something and his face turned cold. "Are you trying to lure me here on purpose?"

Wynne's smile deepened, "Do you finally understand? Unfortunately, it's too late."

"What do you want to do?" Wang Hu secretly gathered strength in his hands as he stared warily at the old eunuch in front of him, who looked like he could be blown down if he was slightly stronger.

Wyon stroked the handle of the horsetail whisk that was made of hard wood. He smiled and said, "We should be asking you this. Why are you in such a hurry to see me?"

Wang Hu's eyelids twitched as he calmly replied, "I've already made it clear that I am her distant cousin. Can't I see her once?"
