Sang Luan was thinking frantically in her mind. Apart from Furong Garden, she had basically been with Feng Hengzhi recently, so she shouldn't have done anything that was against the will of heaven.
As soon as she raised her foot, she saw the two people who were originally sitting steadily above suddenly stood up.
They all looked at her at the same time.
Sang Luan slightly turned her body, or to be more precise, looked behind her.
She turned slowly.
Why does that figure at the door look so familiar?
Before she could react, the old lady beside her restrained her expression, stepped forward, and said calmly, "Eunuch Jiang suddenly visited, but what is the emperor's order?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sang Luan reacted instantly, Eunuch Jiang?
Isn’t that the personal steward who served the current emperor when he attended the palace banquet?
Eunuch Jiang swept the whisk in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and bowed to the old lady.
Immediately, he only gave a look, and the young eunuch behind him held the imperial edict in his hand, lowered his head, and silently took a step forward.
Eunuch Jiang held the imperial edict in his hand, his voice high and thin, his tone rising slowly, "We are here to read the imperial edict."
After these words were spoken, everyone present knelt down consciously.
Sang Luan was very confused, but when she raised her eyebrows slightly, she saw that everyone around her knelt down obediently.
She quickly knelt down as well.
Eunuch Jiang solemnly opened the imperial edict slowly and solemnly. "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that I have heard that the First Minister's wife, Sang Luan, is a beautiful woman of noble character, with a refined heart and astonishing talent. I am deeply pleased. Therefore, I hereby summon Sang Luan to the palace for an audience within one hour."
"Accept the order, Madam."
Eunuch Jiang handed the imperial edict forward.
Sang Luan was stunned for a moment. Before she could figure out why the emperor suddenly wanted to see her, she was lightly bumped by the person next to her.
She quickly stretched out her hands and respectfully took the imperial edict.
Feng Shinian quickly stepped forward, calmly took a few silver coins from his waist, and stuffed them into Eunuch Jiang's hand. "Eunuch Jiang, could you tell me why the emperor suddenly wants to see Luan'er?"
When Eunuch Jiang saw Feng Shinian, he silently threw the silver into his sleeve, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more obvious. "Master Feng, you are too polite. We can't say for sure, but it's not a bad thing at all."
Feng Shinian nodded and handed another ingot of silver to Eunuch Jiang. "Thank you for clearing up my doubts."
Eunuch Jiang waved his hand and sighed, "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
In a flash, he turned back to Sang Luan and said, "Madam Sang, get ready and follow me into the palace."
Sang Luan held the imperial edict in her hand. She glanced down at it and handed it to Liu Wenxian beside her. "Please, mother, keep this imperial edict safe for Luan'er. I'll be back soon."
Before Liu Wenxian could react, an imperial edict appeared in her hand.
She blinked, her expression stiffening instantly. "I..."
Immediately, Sang Luan took a deep breath, picked up her dress and walked to Eunuch Jiang's side, and said slowly, "Eunuch, let's go."
As they watched Sang Luan's back getting farther and farther away, a hint of worry appeared in their eyes.
Liu Wenxian silently leaned towards Feng Shinian and said, "Husband, do you think anything will happen to Luan'er when she enters the palace this time?"
Feng Shinian stared straight ahead and shook his head, "It shouldn't happen. Besides, Hengzhi is in the palace. If anything really happens, he can take care of it in time."
Half an hour later.
Sang Luan got out of the car leisurely with the help of palace servants.
Eunuch Jiang led the way in front, and Sang Luan followed closely behind.
"Young Madam, there is no need to be afraid. The Emperor is kind-hearted and generally will not punish anyone."
Eunuch Jiang walked in front and explained to Sang Luan attentively.
Sang Luan hummed softly, her voice calm and emotionless, "Thank you, eunuch."
Eunuch Jiang glanced at Sang Luan beside him calmly.
This woman is truly extraordinary. Even though she doesn't know what she will face, she remains so calm.
Soon, the two arrived outside the imperial study.
Eunuch Jiang flicked the whisk in his hand and said in a shrill voice, "When you meet His Majesty later, Madam, try to speak as little as possible, and you can avoid half the disaster."
Sang Luan: "Okay."
Immediately, Sang Luan lowered her head, followed the person in front of her, and slowly walked into the imperial study.
Sang Luan felt a little nervous.
After all, this was her first time meeting the emperor in the true sense.
There were so many people at the palace banquet last time, it’s completely incomparable to today’s.
"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."
It was Eunuch Jiang's voice.
As soon as the words fell, a powerful voice came from above.
"Um."
It was just a simple syllable, but it sounded oppressive to Sang Luan's ears.
She couldn't help but be secretly shocked in her heart. The emperor was worthy of being an emperor. Even a single word could make people invisibly feel the oppression emanating from the inside out.
Emperor Zhaowu waved his hand lightly, and Eunuch Jiang stood aside consciously.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him.
The woman in front of him was wearing a light blue dress, and even her hair was pinned up in the simplest style.
At this moment, although his eyebrows were lowered and he looked respectful, he did not show any fear.
Emperor Zhaowu lowered his voice and spoke slowly, "Do you know why I specially summoned you into the palace today?"
Sang Luan said in a clear voice: "In reply to your Majesty, I do not know."
It's strange, why does the emperor's voice sound like there is phlegm stuck in his throat?
So low?
Emperor Zhaowu raised his eyebrows, leaned forward slightly, and said with an amused look, "Why don't you guess? If you guess right, I'll give you a big reward. If you guess wrong, I'll give you a small reward. How about it?"
Sang Luan hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and then shook her head. "To be honest, Your Majesty, on the way here, I was thinking about why Your Majesty asked me to enter the palace. However, because the time for our last appointment has not yet arrived, I have first ruled out the idea of replenishing the national treasury."
She spoke slowly, slowly raising her eyes as she spoke, and when she saw the bright yellow color above her, she quickly lowered her head, "But besides this, I also..."
Eunuch Jiang, who was serving behind him, felt something was wrong the more he listened.
He kept blinking at Sang Luan.
Didn’t he remind the other party to speak less before entering the imperial study?
Why did His Majesty ask Sang Luan to guess? Sang Luan really dared to guess!
Can they guess the divine will at will?
However, even though Eunuch Jiang’s eyes were almost cramped from blinking, he didn’t blink into Sang Luan’s eyes.
Sang Luan paused, then asked in a surprised tone, "Could it be that Your Majesty is here for the girls' school?"
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a few moments.
Eunuch Jiang's pupils slowly widened. Did he really guess it like that?
No, is this a question of whether you guessed correctly or not?
Emperor Zhaowu threw his head back and laughed heartily. "You are indeed very clever. I could tell from the incident at the palace banquet that you are no ordinary woman. I was right about you."
"That's indeed the case, but before I talk about it, I want you to meet someone."
