Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Chapter 203: The Emperor's Oral Instructions from the Grand Tutor's Mansion

The next day, as soon as the city gate was opened, the guards found that there were quite a lot of country men coming into the city to attend the market.

Some went to the city to sell firewood, some went to the city to sell vegetables, and some took their fathers to the city to see a doctor...

However, the capital city is already very busy, with many people coming in and out normally. It was just a little early today, but the guards didn't take it seriously at all. They just gave a simple check and let all the people enter the city.

However, what they didn't know was that these people were not ordinary people. They were all members of Xuan Moyin's pistol team hidden in the military camp outside the capital. There were fifty of them in total. After disguising themselves, they entered the city one after another in an hour.

After these people entered the city and arrived at the market, servants from the Grand Tutor's Mansion immediately came to see what they were selling, and then let these people carry their own vegetables, firewood and the like to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Generally, officials who live in large houses with large courtyards would buy extra food for their masters, as well as food for the servants and maids in the house. The same goes for firewood, as every household needs it for cooking every day.

Therefore, when so many people delivered these things into the back door of the Grand Tutor's Mansion early in the morning today, it did not attract anyone's attention.

As soon as these people entered the Grand Tutor's Mansion, they immediately took off their civilian clothes, revealing camouflage uniforms with the same pattern as the house, and the guns on their waists.

This camouflage uniform was also designed by Su Luoxue to help her people hide better.

They immediately hid themselves in secret locations such as the main gate, courtyard, side door, and the courtyard of the old Grand Tutor, Lord Xiao, and his wife. Their camouflage uniforms immediately blended in with the surrounding buildings, and if they were not their own people, it would be difficult to see them.

At this time, Xuan Haotian had finished the morning court. The first thing he did when he returned to the imperial study was to ask Eunuch Wang to take his oral order to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to bring the old Grand Tutor into the palace.

This eunuch Wang used to serve Xuan Haotian closely in the Prince's Mansion. When Xuan Haotian became the emperor, he naturally became the eunuch serving the emperor.

Eunuch Wang brought the emperor's oral order and led two young eunuchs. Along the way, Eunuch Wang sat in the palace's carriage, and the two young eunuchs trotted along. There was also an empty carriage, which would be used for the old tutor to go to the palace. There were also ten imperial guards holding big swords and riding tall horses following behind the carriage.

Those who know about it think that the Emperor invited the old Grand Tutor to the palace to enjoy life, but those who don't know about it, looking at this scene, it looks more like they are going to the Grand Tutor's mansion to arrest someone.

To get from the Imperial Palace to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, one had to pass by the homes of several officials. These officials sent their own servants to keep an eye on Eunuch Wang and his companions to see whose house they were going to.

Eunuch Wang and his entourage arrived at the Grand Tutor's Mansion. As soon as Eunuch Wang got off the carriage, a young eunuch immediately ran up and knocked on the door of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

After a while, the door opened a little from the inside, and a servant dressed as a waiter came out. The servant glanced at Eunuch Wang behind the young eunuch and the ten imperial guards with swords, and asked calmly: "Eunuch, who are you looking for?"

The young eunuch saw that it was a servant who opened the door, and said, "Our eunuch Wang came to the Grand Tutor's Mansion on the orders of His Majesty. You should quickly ask your master to come out to receive the order!"

"Then you wait a moment." The servant said, retreated inside, and closed the door with a snap.

When Eunuch Wang saw this, he was like, hey, this is not right, even if he wants to call his own master over, shouldn't he first invite them into the house to have tea and wait? Why did he give them a cold shoulder?

Okay, okay, he endured it. If he didn't have the emperor's order to bring the old tutor to the palace today, he would have turned around and left.

Ever since Eunuch Wang became the eldest eunuch serving the Emperor, he was well served wherever he went to convey the Emperor's orders. This was the first time he was turned away. This was the Grand Tutor's Mansion... Humph, he would remember this.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, it didn't show on his face at all.

It can be seen that this eunuch Wang is worthy of being someone close to the emperor and is very cunning.

After a while, two footsteps were heard from the door. Not long after, the servant opened the door again, and Lord Xiao came out. He quickly bowed and said to Eunuch Wang with a smile: "Isn't this Eunuch Wang? I'm really sorry for the delay. I wonder why Eunuch Wang came to the Grand Tutor's Mansion so early in the morning..."

Eunuch Wang also hurriedly said: "Sir Xiao, I have come here with the emperor's oral order. Please ask the old master to come out and receive the order!"

"This..." Lord Xiao was very embarrassed when he heard what Eunuch Wang said: "Eunuch, don't you know that my father was sick with a serious disease a few days ago? I'm afraid he can't come out to receive the emperor's order today. If the emperor has any oral instructions, just tell me and I will convey them on your behalf."

Suffering from a serious illness? Or a supernatural power? How could it happen earlier or later? The emperor wanted to bring the old master into the palace, right? Isn't this a coincidence?

But the emperor did not tell anyone about this oral order, and the decision was only made last night. So if he was asked to come over early this morning with his men, there shouldn't be any chance that the news would leak out, right?

Eunuch Wang's mind was full of thoughts, but he smiled and said, "Sir Xiao, the emperor's oral order was to bring the old master to live in the palace for a while. Now that the old master has contracted a serious illness, it's just right to go to the palace and let the imperial physician take a good look at the old master."

"I dare not alarm the emperor. If my father's serious illness were to spread to the palace and accidentally be passed on to some noble, our Grand Tutor's Mansion would not be able to bear the responsibility." Lord Xiao still declined.

Seeing that Lord Xiao repeatedly blocked his way, Eunuch Wang's face turned grim. He said angrily, "Lord Xiao, I came here with the Emperor's order. Lord Xiao has been blocking me from seeing the old Grand Tutor. What does that mean?"

"Eunuch, you have misunderstood. My father is indeed infected with a serious illness. I did not allow my father to enter the palace for the good of the nobles in the palace." Lord Xiao saw that Eunuch Wang was a little angry and hurriedly explained.

"Sir Xiao, I'm afraid that it is not up to you whether you are willing or not for the old Grand Tutor to enter the palace." Before Eunuch Wang finished his words, he waved to the imperial guards standing behind him.

The ten imperial guards understood what he meant and were about to rush in with their swords in hand, but Lord Xiao saw that it was useless to dissuade him and took a few steps back. Eunuch Wang and the imperial guards thought that Lord Xiao was scared and was making way for them. However, they did not expect that the leading imperial guard had just taken a step when he heard a rumbling sound, and he felt a numbness in his calf, followed by a piercing pain, and he almost stumbled and fell to his knees.
