"A fiefdom?"
Gu Chen was somewhat surprised. Although he was now ennobled as Marquis of Wu'an, it was merely a title, unlike the Marquis of Pingxi; Gu Chen could truly be said to have no real power in his hands.
But now, the court was actually going to grant him a fiefdom, which really took Gu Chen by surprise.
Eunuch Huang smiled and said, "Lord Marquis, His Majesty has great affection for you. After hearing of your awakening, His Majesty wanted to visit you in person, but unfortunately at that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne and was entangled with various affairs, so it has been delayed until now."
"I am grateful to His Majesty," Gu Chen said.
Then, under the guidance of Eunuch Huang, Gu Chen went to the imperial palace and met the former Crown Prince, now the Emperor, Ji Yuan.
"Reporting to His Majesty, Marquis of Wu'an seeks an audience," a eunuch announced.
Upon hearing that Gu Chen had arrived, Ji Yuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Summon him at once!"
