How is that possible?

This was the only thought in Changsun Wuji's mind.

In his mind, His Majesty would never grant such a request.

After court, Chu Suiliang rushed over to Changsun Wuji to show off. Seeing Changsun Wuji's dumbfounded expression, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"Lord Changsun, what did I say before? As long as we take advantage of the joyous occasion of the birth of the Crown Prince's grandson, this matter will surely be settled!"

Changsun Wuji shook his head upon hearing this.

"Don't be too happy yet!"

"His Majesty's cunning is unfathomable; he is not one to submit so easily!"

Chu Suiliang dismissed these words without taking them seriously.

"Lord Changsun, His Majesty has already spoken in front of the entire court. How can he possibly go back on his word?"

"Change your mind?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head upon hearing this.

"I am not afraid of Your Majesty going back on your word, I am afraid of Your Majesty patching things up..."

"patch?"

"May I ask, Lord Changsun, what do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji shook his head, unsure how to explain it to Chu Suiliang, that fool.

Just then, Changsun Wuji's son, Changsun Jun, came running over.

"Father, there's new news from the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji glared at his son, then smiled awkwardly at Chu Suiliang.

"I'm going out for a bit..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Suiliang nodded blankly, thinking sadly to himself that he had risked his life for Changsun Wuji, but the old man was still wary of him and refused to hand over his connections in the palace to him!

Not long after, Changsun Wuji re-entered the living room and threw a note at Chu Suiliang's head.

"Fool, look at this for yourself! This is His Majesty's patch!"
