It's just that the king has a special status. Except for him personally ordering a summons, Mu Jingchen can only send an email in the name of his family to ask for an interview.

After the failure of the email last time, Bai Liyue thought, the fastest way now is to meet the king through Huangfu Yeting.

This saves a lot of hassle.

Lin Ze took the business card, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."

...

Palace Hall.

In the scorching sun, Huangfu Xun knelt at the gate with a pious expression on his face.

He has been kneeling since early morning, and has been baked by the scorching sun for several hours, his cheeks are flushed, and sweat drips from his forehead from time to time.

After all, he is not young anymore. After kneeling for so long in such hot weather, his body is already a little shaky.

The guard standing beside him persuaded: "You should go back quickly, His Majesty has already said that he will not see you."

This guard has persuaded him no less than twenty times today.

But Huangfu Xun remained firm, still ignoring the guard's words.

Seeing that he was so persistent, the guard stepped aside and stopped talking.

After a while, Huangfu Xun suddenly felt unwell, staggered, and finally fell down.

The guard standing in front of the hall turned pale with shock, and hurriedly said to the other guards: "Quick, report to Your Majesty!"

The guards were frightened and ran into the hall in a hurry.

Although Huang Fuxun is no longer the prince, he is still the king's younger brother anyway.

If something happened, they would watch helplessly, maybe they would be implicated.

...

At this moment, in the main hall.

The king is discussing state affairs with his ministers.

Halfway through the discussion, a guard hurried in from the outside and reported, "Your Majesty, the prince has fainted outside the palace!"

The king's expression was dignified. Hearing about Huangfu Xun's accident, there was worry in his eyes.

"What! Why don't you call the imperial doctor!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The guards got the order and hurried out of the main hall.

The faces of the ministers in the palace also showed surprise, and then began to whisper in private.

"The prince knelt outside the palace for a whole day, probably suffering from heat stroke."

"Unexpectedly, the prince is about to leave the palace, and His Majesty is really cruel to see him, and every yard is worth every yard. Could it be that he really doesn't even care about brotherhood?"

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense, if you are overheard by someone with a heart, I'm afraid you will fall into the shoes of others."

The king looked at the whispers of the ministers in the palace. Although he couldn't hear what they said clearly, he could guess one or two.

Huang Fuxun has been demoted and received the punishment he deserved.

Now, after kneeling outside the hall for so long, she just wanted to see him, but was turned away.

The king was also thinking in his heart, whether he was too ruthless.

With a cold face, he took a deep breath.

Afterwards, he handed over the government documents in his hand to Huangfu Yeting who was at the front.

"Ye Ting, you should discuss this matter with the minister first, and I'll go and have a look."

"Yes, Father."

After the king strode away from the main hall, the eyes of the ministers immediately fell on Huangfu Yeting.

Afterwards, there were more chatter in the hall.

"Your Majesty handed over government affairs to the second prince. Is this a tacit consent? He sees the second prince as his successor?"

"That's right, the eldest prince and the second prince are in the palace together, but he handed over the government affairs to the second prince. Can't you see that?"

"The successor is about to be selected. It seems that we spend more time with the second prince on weekdays."

Huangfu Yuncheng listened to the increasingly noisy voices behind him.

His gaze then shifted to the government documents in Huangfu Yeting's hands.

The king did so clearly, and it is no wonder that the ministers are overwhelmed.

There was dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Huangfu Yeting was no match for him in any aspect.

Moreover, he is the eldest son, he is the first choice to choose the heir!

Huangfu Yeting is so young, how can he take on such a big responsibility?

There was already deep resentment in his heart.

...

Royal hospital.

In this castle-like hospital, Huang Fuxun slowly woke up after being treated by the imperial doctor.

The king was standing in the ward, and the doctor was reporting Huangfu Xun's condition to him.

"Your Majesty, the prince is fine. It's just that the weather was too hot and his body was weak, which caused him to faint."

"understood."

The king waved his hand and told the doctor to back out.

He looked at Huangfu Xun with pale lips on the bed, and said sternly: "Tell me, what is the matter with you seeing me? If you want to plead for mercy, then don't waste your energy."

Huangfu Xun supported his body and sat up slowly.

He looked ashamed and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a serious crime, and you should punish me. I will not open my mouth to plead for mercy and make things difficult for you.

The reason why I want to see His Majesty is because of our brotherhood. "

Having said that, he looked up at the king and said with a wry smile: "After I leave the palace, it would be a very extravagant thing to see His Majesty again."

The king lowered his eyelids and was silent.

Huangfu Xun sighed.

"I know that what I have done has disappointed His Majesty, and I also accept His Majesty's punishment without any complaints.

Back then, when we were both candidates for the successor of country Y, I resolutely gave up the chance to be the successor and fully supported you.

At that time, everyone in the royal family opposed you as the heir. Only I believed in you and felt that you would be a good king in the future.

Thinking about it now, I feel that my insistence at the beginning was very correct. You are really a good king, and you never show favoritism even to your own younger brother. "

When the king met his slightly sincere eyes, he was suddenly moved.

He also recalled that many years ago, when he was a prince, everyone felt that he was not suitable to be a monarch. Only Huang Fuxun stood up and strongly supported him.

This brotherhood, the king kept in mind.

Therefore, after he inherited the throne, he gave Huangfu Xun the position of one person under one man and above ten thousand people.

He thought that Huangfu Xun was different from other royal brothers.

Huangfuxun has no interest in the throne, so the two brothers will definitely be able to get along for a long time.

However, what I didn't expect was that Huangfu Xun killed innocent people indiscriminately in private.

As a king, he must not be favoritism.

At this moment, the king sighed deeply, walked up to Huangfu Xun, and put his broad palm on his shoulder.

"You bribed the killer in private, trying to put innocent people to death, as a prince, you are knowingly breaking the law.

Although you are my own younger brother, if I favor you a little bit, it will definitely cause public anger. "

A look of cruelty flashed across Huangfuxun's eyes, and he restrained himself quickly.

"Your Majesty, I understand that you dismissed me from the palace as the punishment I deserve."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a second, and then said with a little bit of reluctance: "Now that I have been demoted to a commoner, I will be ridiculed by others, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in this country Y.

I have already planned to find a remote place to live in seclusion after leaving the palace.

I begged to see His Majesty today, just thinking that we are brothers.

Before I leave, I would like to have one last gathering with His Majesty and several relatives of the royal family, which can be regarded as farewell. "
