However, immediately after the court session, Ru Chang was summoned to the Wuying Hall. But no one seemed surprised by this, as they thought it was perfectly normal.

Putting aside the fact that Ru Chang was Emperor Yingshi's confidant, Ru Chang was also the Minister of Personnel, which were extremely sensitive matters. Therefore, everyone felt that it was perfectly normal for Emperor Yingshi to summon Ru Chang immediately after returning to court.

Not only did the civil and military officials think this was normal, but even Ru Chang thought it was normal. If the emperor hadn't summoned him, that would have been something unusual for everyone.

Seeing Ru Chang, Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "I imagine the court has been in chaos these past few days, with people's hearts unsettled."

Ru Chang hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus is in charge of the court, and everything is going smoothly. However, some of your colleagues are inevitably worried because Your Majesty has not appeared in public for a long time."

Zhu Yunying smiled without saying a word. This situation was something he had expected, and the information he had actually confirmed this was indeed the case.

Looking at Ru Chang, Zhu Yunying continued, "What about the Crown Prince? What does your companion think of his performance in court these past few days?"

This put Ru Chang in a difficult position. Although he was the emperor's most trusted confidant, the matter concerned the crown prince, which naturally meant it was extremely sensitive. He had to carefully consider his words at this moment, or he might make a big mistake.

Zhu Yunying looked at Ru Chang with a smile and said, "The attendant should not think too much. The Crown Prince is at this age, and it is not appropriate for him to enter the court to observe politics."

The real challenge was that the emperor's words actually put Ru Chang under even more pressure. However, he also knew very well that turning a blind eye at this moment would be a grave offense; he had to carefully consider how to respond!
