As the sun set, the sound of horseshoes sounded in the Forbidden City.

Although the eunuchs were in a hurry, when they got on the road, they controlled the speed very slowly.

Although riding on a horse, its speed is not much worse than walking, or even slower.

Apart from Wei Wuji, there were only the four eunuchs left in the group. From the beginning to the end, they remained silent, like logs.

Because guards were not allowed to accompany him, Wei Wuji didn't even have anyone to talk to, so he could only walk towards the palace wall in this lonely environment.

Tan Ji's small courtyard is on the east side of the Forbidden City, so Wei Wuji was taken to the east gate of the palace city instead of entering through the main gate as he thought.

After arriving at the side gate, several eunuchs dismounted one after another, and the leader led Wei Wuji to the palace gate.

The guards at the side door watched the eunuch come over, and all of them saluted him attentively, while Wei Wuji behind him was ignored.

This made Wei Wuji smile wryly, why is this face useless at the critical moment, and the benefits of looking like his father have not been reflected at all.

But Wei Wuji still knew how to keep a low profile. For such a sensitive moment, being summoned by Marquis Wei, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Therefore, Wei Wuji consciously lowered his head a little, and followed the eunuch into the palace gate.

Through the doorway, Wei Wuji and the two came to an alleyway, a very deep and high alleyway.

This is the interlayer between the two palace walls, so it looks extremely deep.

With his head down, Wei Wuji followed the eunuch and walked straight forward.

Wei Wuji had also taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with this person before, but the other party had no intention of chatting with him at all.

So, until now, Wei Wuji didn't even know what the other party called him.

This "alleyway" is very long, giving people a very depressing feeling, and Wei Wuji's breath began to rise and fall.

He gradually became nervous, and it was difficult for him to control his emotions. In this fortified palace wall, he felt a tightness in his chest.

But fortunately, this mezzanine was finally completed, and after passing through another palace gate, Wei Wuji came between the buildings.

Although there are quite a few walls here, they are indeed much shorter than before, and they don't have that heavy feeling.

Wei Wuji guessed that this should be the inner palace area, not the former dynasty.

Following the eunuch and continuing to move forward, more and more people met on the road, and the eunuch's palace servants would appear from time to time.

After a while, Wei Wuji was brought to a side hall, and after some simple arrangements, the eunuch was about to leave.

"The envoy stays for a while, that is, my father summons me, why do I stay here!" Wei Wuji asked aloud, who knows how long he will have to wait, it is almost dark.

"Your Majesty will send someone to invite you, Young Master. Please rest here for a while!" the eunuch replied, and then left without looking back.

your sister!Seeing the eunuch's disappearing back, Wei Wuji cursed softly.

An eunuch, are you pulling your hair out?You dare to drag me as this son?Wei Wuji felt very uncomfortable.

Afterwards, a servant girl came up with refreshments, bowed to Wei Wuji and left.

Very thirsty, Wei Wuji picked up his teacup and drank it down, and there was a "gurgling" sound.

Time passed by, and it was difficult for Wei Wuji to maintain his peace of mind in such a quiet environment.

As the sky was getting darker, eunuchs entered the hall one after another and lit the oil lamps inside.

Without any communication, those eunuchs were like puppets, doing what they were doing mechanically.

Looking at their expressionless faces, Wei Wuji swallowed the words he originally wanted to ask.

It wasn't until this moment that Wei Wuji suddenly felt that it was a good thing for his mother to leave the palace.

Staying in such a lifeless environment, no matter how rich and luxurious life is, living seems meaningless.

When the entire side hall was lit up, the eunuchs gradually receded, perhaps sending light to the next place.

The lights are bright, but it also shows the darkness outside the hall, a kind of darkness that presses on.

Feeling uncomfortable sitting, Wei Wuji stood up and began to walk around the hall.

He didn't know the purpose of Marquis Wei's summoning, which made him feel uneasy. He kept thinking about the wrong things he did these days.

But there is no answer at all. Although Wei Wuji escaped, he himself has never done those things to press the red line.

What can barely be counted is the incident in Wei Wuzu's barracks a few days ago.

As Wei Hou's forbidden son, Wei Wuzu absolutely cannot let others get involved, not even his own son, not even at all.

This made Wei Wuji feel terrified, he seemed to have returned to the military tent two months ago, when he and Wei Chengze both knelt in front of Marquis Wei, bearing the thunderous anger.

"Young master, Your Majesty has called you over!"

Just as Wei Wuji was breaking out in cold sweat, a shrill voice sounded behind him.

"Oh... um, let's go now..." Wei Wuji panicked, and quickly wiped off the sweat on his forehead.

As soon as he turned around, Wei Wuji saw a young eunuch who was about his age standing bowed at the entrance of the hall.

"My lord, please come with this servant!" The little eunuch bowed and bowed.

Wei Wuji tidied up his appearance, and after making sure there were no flaws, he followed the little eunuch.

At this time, the sky had indeed darkened. If it wasn't for the lights along the road, I might not be able to see the road under my feet clearly.

Turning left and right, and walking through many corridors, Wei Wuji was finally led to a large hall.

Standing under the towering pedestal of the main hall, Wei Wuji felt his own insignificance, and even more so, the majesty of the king, which came naturally from his heart.

The little eunuch continued to lead the way, leading Wei Wuji up the stairs step by step.

When he came to the front of the main hall, another eunuch greeted him and completed the handover with the young eunuch.

As for the rules and regulations in the palace, Wei Wuji now has a clear insight.

"My lord, please come with this servant!" the eunuch whispered, afraid of disturbing anything.

This also brought Wei Wuji into the rhythm, and his movements began to be cautious.

Unable to enter through the main entrance, Wei Wuji was still led to a side entrance, and then he heard the eunuch say to Wei Wuji, "My lord, your majesty is inside, the servants can only be sent here."

"Thank you!" Wei Wuji said very politely. He had seen from TV dramas that it would be very troublesome for these eunuchs to offend.

"My lord is serious, this servant will leave!" After the eunuch bowed, he slowly retreated.

At this time, apart from the puppet-like servants not far away, only Wei Wuji was left alone.

The side door was open, and Wei Wuji could still see the flickering fire in the hall.

He tried his best to calm down, suppressed his anxiety, and then walked in.

The hall was brightly lit, and there was no feeling of darkness, and there were wisps of fragrance coming from the incense burner, which made Wei Wuji feel anxious for free consultation.

But Wei Wuji soon felt that something was wrong. Compared with the lifelessness of the eunuchs outside the palace, the servants inside the palace seemed very nervous.

You could see their bodies tense, and even their breathing seemed weak.

Wei Wuji's heart became more and more heavy, and his footsteps became lighter, and he walked slowly towards the inner hall.

The more you go inside, the more obvious the tense atmosphere becomes.

Until Wei Wuji walked outside the inner hall, through the curtain, he saw Weihou sitting on the throne in the hall.
