Gu Wenheng had ordered his men to stand guard outside the city gates every day since the snow melted, terrified of missing the first news of Jin Qianqian's arrival.
Looking at the guards returning from their shift change, a faint sense of disappointment washed over Gu Wenheng. He wondered why his wife hadn't arrived yet and if she had run into trouble on the road.
He silently calculated the time. Knowing Jin Qianqian's personality, she should have departed from Fu County long ago.
"Sir, the Holy Decrees from the palace have arrived!" Wang Ping jogged inside, not even giving Ming Feng a chance to announce him.
Gu Wenheng immediately stood up and walked out. "Have you notified the other officials?"
This Holy Decree should be the arrangement for the other six officials, so they naturally had to be present.
"I've already sent someone to notify them. Sir, who do you think will stay?"
