Come on, Your Highness

In front of the Royal Palace

Eunuch Chang held his fly whisk in his hand, with a smile on his face, he said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Highness, my lords, His Highness has not recovered from the injury he suffered in Jiangzhou, and is recuperating. His Majesty will not allow him to intervene in any matters concerning the court. , Your greetings will be conveyed to His Highness, so we will not entertain you all."

Xiao Ming said: "Eunuch Chang, I miss my brother, can't I see him too?"

Eunuch Chang bowed: "Prince Li, please don't embarrass Zajia. Your Highness said that no one will be seen. However, if the two princes only care about His Highness and don't talk about other things, Zajia is willing to convey it to you."

Xiao Ming frowned.

Xiao Hong was still alive and kicking at the dinner party yesterday, so recovering from his injuries today is naturally just an excuse. What can he care about?

"Then He Xichao is here, and the elder brother is not there?" Xiao Yi asked suddenly.

Following Xiao Yi's words, the accompanying officials and even Xiao Ming looked at Eunuch Chang together.

Eunuch Chang smiled slightly and said: "Prince Shun was joking, Mr. He is an official of the palace and manages the affairs of the palace, so naturally he can see him."

Wei Guogong's face suddenly changed.

The others couldn't see much either, they all held a pivotal position in the court, but it was unreasonable that they couldn't compare to a small servant from the fifth rank.

But the relationship between He Xichao and the King of England was unusual and indisputable, they could only look at Wei Guogong one after another.

Wang Ge said: "Wei Guogong, it seems that the young master of your family has face, so let him be a middleman."

Wei Guogong frowned deeply, he was extremely unwilling to bow his head to He Xichao.

Then a minister asked: "I don't know where this young master He is now?"

"The bachelor's degree should be in the Hanlin Academy."

"Then hurry up and ask him to come over, Duke Wei?"

With the matter at this point, there seemed to be no other way, under the eyes of everyone, Wei Guogong turned his head and whispered to He Xiang: "Go, invite him to come, as long as he comes, I will never blame the past."

He Xiang's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he hesitated.

Based on this young master's temperament, so he will come?

Wei Guogong seemed to also think of He Xichao's fatal temper, so he added another sentence: "This old man begged him, give me this face."

"Yes."

It was already noon when he went to court, and he was already hungry when he arrived at the King's Mansion.

But Prince Ying's mansion didn't open, so Xiao Yi had no choice but to go to a nearby restaurant to sit down and leave a few servants to wait.

But before He Xichao came, it was Wei Guogong who came first.

"My lord, grandparents are here."

When Wei Guogong heard the news, his brows became more irritable.

Looking at the current appearance, it is impossible to save Lin Cenyan, and I am afraid that he may not even be able to save his life.

The key is to see if He Xichao will show him some face as a grandfather.

The Imperial Academy was a little far away from the Prince Ying's Mansion, and after He Xiang went back and forth, they had already finished their meal and had a few chats.

To be honest, the ones who will follow them here are almost related to some of the names on the list, and have important interests involved.

No matter how high-sounding the words are, it is nothing more than thinking of Xiao Hong to explore the bottom and see if there is still room for exertion.

And Xiao Yi and Xiao Ming would come, naturally because of the power under him.

A real important minister will not choose the prince to serve the emperor when the emperor is in his prime, and even the prince may not be able to win them over.

But those who want to be opportunistic will look for opportunities to invest in the sect in order to obtain some convenience and protection.

Those who can be accepted by the prince naturally have some skills, but they are high-ranking ones.

As a result, Xiao Hong took a trip to Jiangzhou, and the few who got here were also on the verge of collapse.

I'm sick of vomiting, but I have to bite the bullet and see if I can still ask for favors.

As for Wang Ge's meeting here, on the one hand, it is for Xiao Ming's face, and on the other hand, he also knows the news from the north. If this matter really becomes a big deal, as Xie Ge thought, the emperor will be lenient and safe.

He doesn't really care whether these 40 people survive or not, but Mr. Xie Ge refuses to show up, so he will naturally be the leader in the future.

While talking with each other, He Xiang came back.

However, no one followed behind him.

He Xiang told Wei Guogong's gloomy eyes: "Master Guo, when the old slave left, Master Xichao was no longer in the Imperial Academy."

"Where did he go?"

He Xiang wondered: "The old slave asked, and he said it was afternoon, so he left."

"Are you going back to the house?" an adult asked.

He Xiang shook his head with a wry smile: "The old slave stopped by the mansion to ask, no."

"This is so strange, could it be that he knew we would look for him, so he hid specially?" Xiao Yi sneered and said sarcastic words, "Yes, elder brother never hides anything from him, and he obeys him, maybe it's still What's his idea?"

Xiao Ming looked at Wei Guogong's sullen eyes, and took a leisurely sip of tea.

He is not worth it for He Mingrui.

Look, this is the grandson who came back from the outside halfway, no matter how good he is, he will not be familiar with him.

Didn't it mean that the family was abandoned?

Where is the grandfather's face?

Wei Guogong blushed immediately under the many strange gazes, almost embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

In the end, Mr. Wang Ge smoothed things over: "God didn't let us see the King of England today, so we'll come back tomorrow after the court ends. Duke Wei, don't be upset, I'm afraid this He Erlang just happened to have something important to do, so why not?" Come back and have a good talk with him, he will always go back home at night."

"Yes, now he is a popular person in front of the King of England, and his status will naturally rise. I have to trouble the Duke of the Kingdom to reason with him and show his affection. There is no need for him to do anything, but I just want to communicate with His Royal Highness. Say, see me and wait, no matter what the result is, always remember him!"

Everyone nodded: "That's right, but we can't pin our hopes entirely on him, we should think of other ways."

"But the emperor's thunderous fury, who else dares to stand up and say a word?"

All the ministers couldn't help looking at the two princes.

Xiao Yi immediately said: "It's easy to talk, but will Father listen? You might have to be reprimanded, but it's self-defeating."

Even though it was this gift, Xiao Yi refused without thinking about it, which disappointed the minister.

On the contrary, Xiao Ming said: "No matter what, we are always not as important as the big brother, but it is really duty-bound to reach that point."

Where is that level?Although Xiao Ming's words sound nice, the meaning of evasion can't be concealed in front of these aged ministers who are well versed in this way.

But there is no other way, it can only be like this.

"Wei Guogong, it's up to you."

The imperial envoy impeached, the emperor was furious, and the three divisions tried together to investigate to the end.

This shocking news spread throughout the capital within half a day.

For a time, dark clouds overwhelmed the city, and the storm was about to come.

Before Wei Guogong came back, the news had already spread to the mansion.

Originally, they were just worried about Dongchuang's incident, but the Lin family who came to Beijing to inquire about the news suddenly heard bad news.Mrs. Lin supported Mrs. Lin, who was on the verge of falling, and the brothers and sisters of the Lin family were pale and panicked.

The eldest lady actually guessed a little bit because of Wei Guogong's anger towards He Xichao yesterday, but she was still very surprised, it was too fast.

"This... the King of England just came back, why did he deal with it?" Mrs. Guo was shocked, "Where is the Duke?"

The servant who reported the letter replied: "The Duke will accompany Prince Li, Prince Shun, and many other adults to the Prince's Mansion together, and they will probably be back soon..."

"It seems that the situation is urgent, and both His Royal Highnesses have been alarmed..."

The second lady hadn't finished speaking when suddenly there were a few exclamations from behind.

"Mother!"

"grandmother!"

"Old lady!"

Everyone turned their heads suddenly, only to see Mrs. Lin closed her eyes and finally couldn't stand upright and fell down.

Da Furen's complexion changed, and she immediately called out: "Quick, help Auntie to sit down! Someone, go and invite the doctor!"

The maidservants around were in a panic, pinching people and shouting, and finally after a lot of tossing, Mrs. Lin woke up slowly, with a sad look on her face.

Mrs. Guo, Second Mrs., Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and even sisters He Lingyun all surrounded her, showing concern.

Miss Lin fell on her lap and cried in fright.

Li Yuechan stood on the side, neither going nor not, moved her footsteps to that side twice, with a conflicted expression on her face.

Xia He supported her and said, "Madam, there are too many people, so let's not get close."

I'm not familiar with each other at all, but after a few pleasantries, I became warmer, so there's no need to get too close.

Besides, can it be said that the two sides will have to oppose each other immediately?

Mrs. Lin grasped Mrs. Guo's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, Cen Yan, Cen Yan, in my heart..."

"Don't panic, don't panic, we don't know what's going on. Maybe it won't be that serious when the Duke comes back?" Mrs. Guo comforted her while shaking her hand.

The second wife also said: "Yes, cousin is the governor of the second rank, and the emperor praised him!"

Mrs. Lin shook her head gently, her eyes were full of helplessness and panic, and she muttered: "You don't know, this time...it's difficult..."

The originally harmonious scene became gloomy and gloomy.

He Mingrui looked sideways. Although Mr. Lin didn't say a word, the proud governor's son was stunned, and fear slowly filled his face.

He Mingrui curled his lips secretly, and said softly: "Brother Yu, don't be afraid, the second brother is a celebrity in front of His Royal Highness, even if the Prince doesn't give his grandfather this face, he will definitely give it to him. His Royal Highness is pleading in front of the Emperor, Even if something happens to someone else, my cousin will be fine."

He spoke so firmly, Lin Yuzhi's tense body couldn't help but relax slightly, forced a smile, and nodded.

Soon after, Duke Wei returned home.

Before he could cross the threshold, Mrs. Lin staggered a few steps forward and asked eagerly, "Brother, how are you?"

All looked at him hopefully.

The siblings haven't seen each other for many years, so they should have exchanged some pleasantries, but no one is in the mood at this moment.

Wei Guogong looked at his younger sister with graying temples, although he couldn't bear it, he finally sighed: "His Royal Highness thanked the guests behind closed doors, and he gave up for nothing."

In an instant, Mrs. Lin's eyes widened, tears quickly pooled in her eyes, she let go, and her body swayed.

Wei Guogong immediately supported her, and did not let her fall down, he hurriedly said: "Little sister, hold on, there is nothing you can do, don't worry."

Mrs. Lin nodded heavily, and begged: "Brother, your brother-in-law left early, and my sister is the only one to rely on. He is my life! You must help him, please..."

Wei Guogong repeatedly assured: "Brother, I know that Cen Yan is my only nephew. No matter what, I will keep him. No matter how bad it is, I will keep him alive."

"Thank you bro."

"My lord, what is going on here? Isn't the matter in Jiangzhou over? Why did it go elsewhere? It has been three years since Cen Yan left Jiangzhou!" Mrs. Guo Gong came over, wondering asked.

After hearing this, the eldest lady couldn't help but looked up at her, her eyes getting colder.

Is this really unknown, or is it mentioned on purpose?

Look at the second lady again, pinching the handkerchief to her mouth, lowering her head slightly, as if listening seriously and caringly.

However, how could Da Furen not know her thoughts?

Yesterday Wei Guogong was so angry that he told He Xichao about the ancestral hall. The second wife naturally knew what she could guess, let alone He Mingrui was there.

Probably only Li Yuechan is really at a loss here.

Sure enough, Wei Guogong's face darkened, his eyes swept across the room, and finally looked at Li Yuechan horribly and said: "Where is Xi Chao, haven't you come back yet?"

He Xichao bid farewell to Mr. Xie Ge, and when he left the house, he heard Ah Fu report: "Master, someone from the Lin family is here."

"Liaozhou?"

"Yes, my grandparents came with my cousin and young lady."

He Xichao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and the speed of his heart was quite fast. It seemed that Lin Cenyan was in a panic.

As a result, He Xichao didn't really want to go back early, so he ordered: "Go to the Yingwang Palace."

But as soon as he got into the carriage, he suddenly remembered the mark on his face, so he canceled the trip: "Let's go back home."
