The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 181 It’s still not too late to kneel

Gan Zixu rushed forward, riding away in a cloud of dust.

When everyone else arrived at the gate of the prefecture, they turned around and found that Xue Qingyin had not caught up yet.

“What are you doing, sir?” A doorman came out to greet him.

Gan Zixu was in a dilemma.

“Sir?”

“If you don’t tell me your name, I will send someone to drive you away.” The doorman shouted sternly.

Although the prefecture was in decline, it still had the momentum it should have.

“I am Gan Zixu, and I come to see His Royal Highness King Xuan.” Gan Zixu laughed dryly and had to tell the truth.

The doorman’s face changed slightly.

Gan Zixu?

Many people in Xingzhou have never seen him, but none of them have never heard of his name.

This man is not a villain.

“It turns out to be Yun Yizi, please come in.” The doorman called his Taoist name.

Gan Zixu didn't like people calling him "Master Gan". First, his surname was strange. Second, he considered himself poor. He was not a master, but a villain.

If you don't call him a Taoist name, then you call him a Buddhist name.

Gan Zixu followed the doorman inside.

As soon as he entered the garden, he saw those dancers twisting their waists and dancing.

"You governors are capable." Gan Zixu said in a deep voice.

The doorman smiled and said, "Of course."

I only dared to annoy Princess Xuan, and I didn't dare to really get so many dancers...

Gan Zixu immediately felt relieved.

The atmosphere here was a little cold.

King Xuan didn't say anything for a long time, and it seemed that he had no interest in any old friends.

Sima smiled awkwardly and had to continue: "That old friend has quite some status and background. I will send someone to invite her to meet Your Highness."

King Xuan said indifferently: "She is playing tricks. There is no need to meet her."

Xingzhou official: "..."

Gan Zixu came forward: "..."

Really? Not even meeting her?

Gan Zixu never thought that a good thing would be ruined here.

"Your Highness... this..." Sima on the other end paused there awkwardly.

Gan Zixu was straightforward when he saw this, and he went up and lifted Sima's table first.

Everyone was secretly waiting for King Xuan's order, and no one noticed him for a while.

The dancers were the first to be startled when the table was flipped.

"Ah!" They screamed.

The guards drew their swords one after another.

The officials of Xingzhou stood up quickly.

"What's going on?"

"Who? Who dares..."

"Gan Zixu." King Xuan spat out the name with a cold tone.

Everyone then realized: "It turned out to be Yun Yizi, what are you doing?"

"You are so bold, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is here, how dare you be so rude..."

Especially Sima, his face turned red with anger.

But he couldn't ask people to arrest Gan Zixu.

Who asked such a black-faced old man to be the lifesaver of His Majesty.

Gan Zixu said: "It's not that I'm bold, to be honest, it was Princess Xuan who asked me to do it."

It doesn't matter how Princess Xuan tortures him, but if she embarrasses His Royal Highness Prince Xuan in front of so many people, can Prince Xuan bear it?

"This..."

"What did you say, you...you are talking nonsense."

Several local officials in Xingzhou looked at each other, how could they really say what Gan Zixu said.

This hurts the face of Prince Xuan.

"How dare I talk nonsense, is it true... Princess Xuan heard that you guys dared to offer your beauty to King Xuan today, and now she is so angry that she has come down from the mountain!"

Everyone looked embarrassed, wishing they could find a crack to get in.

They could only look at King Xuan again.

Then King Xuan moved his lips and asked, "Where is she?"

Gan Zixu: "...I am fast, I will go first, the princess is still on the way."

King Xuan looked at the guards around him.

The guards hurriedly said, "I will go to pick up the princess."

King Xuan asked Gan Zixu: "Is she very angry?"

Gan Zixu: "...Yes, yes. Her face is red with anger." Right? Gan Zixu recalled for a while. He thought it should be like this.

It doesn't matter if it's exaggerated.

The light in King Xuan's eyes surged, as if a little smile flashed across his eyes quickly.

But when he looked again, there was nothing.

It was difficult to guess his emotions at this time.

"Take it with you." King Xuan suddenly called his guards and took out the waist pillow from behind and handed it to him.

Everyone was confused when they saw this.

King Xuan said: "She walked in a hurry, and the mountain road was bumpy, so she had to have something to cushion her."

The guards responded, looking like a tough guy, but he just went out with the waist pillow in his arms.

"Did she just ask you to overturn the table?" King Xuan suddenly asked Gan Zixu.

Gan Zixu didn't know how to answer for a moment.

King Xuan's reaction was wrong.

"Your Highness, this..." Sima beside him tried to speak.

King Xuan said lightly: "You are still timid, what's the big deal of just overturning a table?"

Gan Zixu: "...Ah?"

Isn't this enough to humiliate the Xingzhou Sima?

Isn't this enough to provoke chaos?

King Xuan continued: "You must have heard that the princess was almost poisoned to death in the capital."

"Yes, yes." Everyone bowed and responded.

This matter was not a big deal, but the fall of the Xu family was known to everyone in the world, so naturally, this matter spread everywhere.

"It is not easy for the princess to keep her pregnancy. When she left Beijing, my father promised her that if she was wronged, she could write a letter and send it to my father's desk at full speed through the post station." King Xuan said slowly.

There are many people in the officialdom who are not good at government affairs.

But there were few people who didn't understand their superiors' words.

The king didn't need to explain the words clearly, they were already terrified.

Did the princess...did she want to write all of them in the complaint letter?

Who could be an official in Xingzhou?

The poems written here were called "exiled poems".

They couldn't even stand for a while, let alone sit.

They only wanted to please His Royal Highness Xuan, so why didn't they think of offending Princess Xuan...

Alas, that's right, no one thought that Princess Xuan would have such an honor in front of His Majesty!

Who said that His Majesty was dissatisfied with her and only allowed her to enter the palace as a concubine?

"You may be in time if you go to the door now." The king slowly uttered the last sentence.

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate will go to meet the princess now!"

"Your subordinate will go too!"

"Changshi, wait for me."

They turned around and walked out in a hurry.

When they reached the door, there was no one outside.

But everyone was tense, no one dared to relax, and the rest of the subordinates also held their breath.

Although Princess Xuan was of noble status, they were also appointed officials of the court!

Yes, they had to rely on the imperial decree to be officials!

"How about... when the princess comes, we kneel down to greet her?"

"It's not graceful, it's not graceful."

"This is an important matter to preserve the royal heirs, how can it be compared with grace? Things should be prioritized."

"County Magistrate Liu, you have not spent these years in Xingzhou in vain, you will also bend your back."

"Not as good as Sima, that old friend was the one who led the way, right?"

"The dancer was found by Qin Sibing."
