Chapter 1680: 815 Midnight_2

"Yes." Li Sande bowed and gave a curious glance at the two eunuchs behind the "Crown Prince," feeling something was off—

"Is there anything else?" Gu Chengfeng asked in a deep voice.

"Replying to Your Highness, the servant has nothing else, and will take his leave now." Li Sande awkwardly retreated.

As he walked away, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself, those two eunuchs look very unfamiliar, are they new attendants of the Crown Prince?

Gu Jiao and the king had disguised themselves, but they weren’t wearing human skin masks, so their faces were unfamiliar but made-up.

Gu Chengfeng sat comfortably in the chair, drinking tea and eating snacks, while the king stood respectfully behind him, his lips twitching violently.

Seeing Gu Chengfeng’s complacent back of the head, he wished he could slap him hard!

Having been a king for so many years, who would have thought one day he’d have to disguise as a eunuch?

Gu Jiao signaled with her eyes, correcting him, "An old eunuch."

The king felt a thousand arrows pierce his heart!

The king was finally experiencing the hardship of being a eunuch. Just standing bent over for two quarters of an hour, his old back was about to break.

Fortunately, heaven did not disappoint those who worked hard, the fake king had finished court.

Li Sande went to pay respects to the fake king and reported that the Crown Prince had come to thank him and was currently waiting in the side hall.

The fake king nodded sternly, "I know. Go instruct the Imperial Kitchen to prepare lunch for the Crown Prince in the Central Harmony Hall at noon."

Listening to this proficient handling of affairs, Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng nearly doubted that the person next to them was real.

The king gritted his teeth, "I am the real one!"

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Gu Chengfeng echoed, "Oh."

Does it matter if you are real?

As long as we can still beat Han’s "king," that’s okay.

The king again: "..."

The fake king entered the side hall.

He was followed by the newly promoted Eunuch Yu.

Eunuch Yu, upon seeing the Crown Prince with a bruised and swollen face, was momentarily stunned, "Your Highness, what happened to you...?"

Gu Chengfeng sighed, "Don’t mention it. I encountered a wave of assassins last night, but fortunately, it was thrilling yet safe. I came to the palace today to pay respects to my father."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and bowed to the fake king, "Your subject greets Your Majesty."

This was the etiquette of Dayan Country, taught by Shangguan Yun for half a day.

The fake king nodded solemnly, "Yu Changbo, go summon Physician Liang to examine the Crown Prince."

"Yes." Eunuch Yu turned and left, leaving Li Sande and a few eunuchs from the Central Harmony Hall to attend cautiously.

"Father." Gu Chengfeng said to the fake king, "I actually came today to report an important matter, and I request that my father dismiss the others."

The fake king nodded and told Li Sande and the others, "You all may withdraw."

Gu Jiao also pretended to leave with the king.

Gu Chengfeng stopped the king, "Chief Eunuch Li, you stay. You are a key witness; some matters you must report to my father personally."

The king was openly left inside the side hall.

Gu Jiao held him back, "Eunuch Li, it’s been a while. Let’s chat; there’s no hurry." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Behind Han followed a troop of the Imperial Forest Army. After Han Ye was removed from his position as deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Han Fu, a collateral descendant of the Han Family, was promoted. Due to the old patriarch’s favor, his status was almost on par with that of the main branch.

Han ordered the deputy commander beside her, "Hurry inside and protect the emperor!"

"Yes!" The deputy commander took the lead, charging into the side hall with a large squad of the Imperial Forest Army, surrounding Gu Chengfeng and the two kings—one real, one fake.

Han walked over with a half-smile, glanced at Gu Jiao, then looked at Gu Chengfeng inside the room, "Do you think I cannot recognize my own son?"

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the king disguised as a eunuch, and she smiled.

"I was just worrying about not finding someone, but this truly is searching high and low only to find it with no effort at all! Xiao Liulang, you’ve fallen into my trap!"

Gu Chengfeng’s heart sank.

Is it possible?

His outstanding acting skills did not fool this old hag?

If so, aren’t they walking into a trap today?

Even if they claimed to have the real king in hand, no one would believe it—

After all, he was a fake prince, saying he brought the real king wouldn’t be convincing—

It’s over, they are completely finished now!

They have no chance of turning the tables!

Han saw through Gu Chengfeng’s panic and laughed loudly, "Xiao Liulang, Xiao Liulang, you are still too inexperienced to fight me! Today, none of you will leave here alive!"

Gu Jiao calmly tilted her head, arms folded, and looked at her, "Are you sure? Shouldn’t you check behind you first?"
