When Zhou Chen came out, the little old man of the Ministry of Finance was standing at the door with a low eyebrow.

When she saw Zhou Chen, she glanced at him and then lowered her head silently. She was no longer as arrogant as before.

Zhou Chen paused for a moment, raised his legs and walked towards the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and called out politely: "Shang Shu Lin."

Lin Shangshu glanced at him and said calmly: "I don't have time to chat with you. If Lord Zhou is free, you can go home and read more books."

Normally, Zhou Chen would have stabbed him a few times, but today he was particularly good-tempered.

Zhou Chen said: "Your Majesty asked me to bring you a message."

Lin Shangshu suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Zhou Chen: "Your Majesty, are you willing to see me?"

"Your Majesty said that you are his chief steward and hold his money bag in your hand. How could he refuse to see you?" Zhou Chen said slowly, "Your Majesty asked you to wait for half an hour and said yes. I have a gift for Mr. Lin.”

Lin Shangshu: "..."

They are all people who have been with Mo Xiao since very early on and have a certain understanding of His Majesty the Emperor's temperament. Zhou Chen could realize that the gift His Majesty said was not a good thing, so why couldn't Minister Lin?

At this moment, the hairs on his body stood up, and a rare hint of panic appeared in his small eyes.

He gritted his teeth, and after a while he grabbed Zhou Chen's wrist: "Master Zhou, we have been officials in the same court for so many years. Although we have some disagreements, most of the time we can be regarded as friends who have fought together. You are by your Majesty's side. It’s been a long time, and I have become closer to His Majesty. I would like to trouble Mr. Zhou to show the little old man a clear path..."

He raised his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and sighed: "Today, the little old man may be in trouble!"

Zhou Chen couldn't bear to see him like this.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Chen still said: "You have served His Majesty for many years, and you have worked hard without any credit. Your Majesty is not someone who burns bridges when crossing rivers. He still remembers your love in his heart."

"I don't know what you did to offend His Majesty, but seeing His Majesty's behavior, I might want to give you another chance... Lin Shangshu, we have been officials in the same court for many years, and I would like to advise you to be honest. Really follow His Majesty’s wishes and don’t go against him.”

After Zhou Chen finished speaking, he didn't wait long, patted Lin Shangshu on the shoulder, stood up and left.

Lin Shangshu: "..."

He stood there for a while, then let out a long sigh.

He stood at the door and waited for half an hour before he saw a young eunuch coming out to open the door.

The little eunuch had a strange look on his face, lowered his head, and said in a quick tone: "Master Shangshu, His Majesty is already waiting inside. Follow me."

Lin Shangshu: "..."

Looking at the little eunuch's face, he felt an ominous premonition growing in his heart. I wanted to ask the little eunuch a few questions, but then I remembered that this was the Yinghua Palace, and the mouth of someone who could serve here must be tighter than a clam shell.

Lin Shangshu followed the young eunuch inside with hesitation. After entering, he did not dare to raise his head. He knelt down with a plop and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "You're so good, why are you giving such a big gift? Get up quickly."

Lin Shangshu knelt still and was sweating: "Wei Chen came here today specifically to apologize!"

Mo Xiao's eyes narrowed: "Oh?"

"Wei Chen did not teach his daughter properly, allowing her to commit such a big thing in the palace," Lin Shangshu lowered his head and said slowly, "Wei Chen is guilty, please punish me!"
