First Time in the Palace, Commander of the Imperial Guards

As expected, it's unavoidable, quite annoying indeed... Gu Lan felt a bit depressed in his heart! However, now that he had left the Residence, refusing the decree would be a grave offense. It would undoubtedly lead to more trouble later!

"Commoner, accept the decree."

Gu Lan reluctantly took the imperial decree. Instead of feeling the weight of the decree like Old Yang did, he felt like kicking it away!

"Say your farewells to your family and follow me to the palace... The carriage is ready outside."

Sima Qin calmly smiled.

With almost all the details known to him, he now felt like an imperial eagle dog bringing a reluctant concubine into the palace for a night.

"Alright, thank you, Great Chancellor."

For the sake of witnessing a chess game, they even used the imperial authority to invite him. This woman must be incredibly idle... Gu Lan inwardly complained, waving his hand.

Sima Qin nodded and left.
