"We heard that His Royal Highness the Wise Prince and Lord Xu had gone out for some important matter. We haven't seen them for such a long time, but now we see them in person." Eunuch Quan stood up with a forced smile to influence Xu Tianze and the others.
He was originally serving His Majesty, but as soon as the notice was posted, the capital city was in an uproar.
Your Majesty just doesn't want to see those adults, but the sight of them kneeling at the door of the Shangshufang is annoying.
There was really no other way, so His Majesty sent him here. He thought he could pick up His Royal Highness the Wise Prince and Lord Xu and then return to the palace, but he didn't see anyone after he arrived.
He didn't even need to guess to know that Lord Xu and His Royal Highness the King of Virtue had simply gone out to get some quiet time, but even if they did, Eunuch Quan also had to go back to report.
In order to avoid being punished after returning, Eunuch Quan sat down directly in the Xianwang Mansion, as if he would not return to the palace until His Royal Highness the Xianwang and Lord Xu came back.
I saw the housekeeper went out directly, so I waited peacefully. Fortunately, it only took a cup of tea, because it always takes some time on the road.
I think His Majesty and those ministers cannot blame him, otherwise he would not be so nice to these two people.
"You are joking, eunuch. The fact that you can sit here means that His Majesty can still handle it, right?" Xu Tianze was extremely calm in the face of the resentment in Eunuch Quan's eyes.
Not to mention that the situation is really urgent, the fact that Eunuch Quan can sit here instead of going back to report immediately shows that the situation has not yet reached the point where it must be resolved.
Given Emperor Gan's temperament, those old officials should still be kneeling at the door of the Shangshufang. Out of sight, out of mind. If they want to kneel, let them kneel.
"Lord Xu, you're joking. Let's hurry up. His Majesty is still waiting in the palace." Eunuch Quan ignored the conversation and instead urged Xu Tianze to enter the palace quickly.
Now that he has entered the palace, he can finally have one less thing to worry about. He no longer has to worry about being scolded when he returns.
"Eunuch Quan, when did I say I wanted to enter the palace with you?" Xu Tianze looked at Eunuch Quan in confusion. It seemed that he had never agreed to enter the palace with Eunuch Quan since he came in.
"Lord Xu, you can't make such jokes. It will be difficult for us to report this to the emperor." Eunuch Quan was a little flustered, considering Xu Tianze's current status in His Majesty's heart.
If Xu Tianze really didn't want to go, he really had no way to resolve this matter through force.
But if Xu Tianze didn't follow him into the palace, he didn't dare to think about what kind of punishment he would receive from Emperor Gan after returning.
In this panic, Eunuch Quan turned his gaze to the Second Prince standing beside him, hoping that the Second Prince could help him, otherwise his old bones would be in danger of dying.
"Eunuch Quan, what use do you think I am? Aze doesn't want to go, and I can't persuade him." The second prince shook his head helplessly, indicating that he could do nothing to help.
What's more, he supports whatever decision Aze makes. It's just that he doesn't go to the palace to see the old man. It's not a big deal.
"Oh, Lord Xu, please have pity on me. My old legs have suffered a lot running here." Eunuch Quan looked bitter and started to plead for his sympathy to Xu Tianze.
No matter what, people have to follow him to take a look, otherwise he won't be able to justify the wasted time.
Even if His Majesty forgives him for his poor performance, the group of officials kneeling outside the Shangshufang will definitely tear him apart.
"I naturally know how difficult it is for Eunuch Quan." Xu Tianze had no intention of tricking Eunuch Quan. He rolled his eyes and gave Eunuch Quan a look, "Eunuch, come closer and listen."
"This." Eunuch Quan hesitated for a moment when he saw this, but still stepped forward.
After all, things have come to this, and judging from Xu Tianze's attitude, he really doesn't intend to enter the palace, so he naturally has to find a suitable reason for himself.
When the second prince saw Xu Tianze whispering with Eunuch Quan, he also moved over. When he heard what was going on, he looked at Xu Tianze with a strange expression on his face.
"This, is this possible?" After hearing this, the shock in Eunuch Quan's eyes had not yet dissipated.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Xu Tianze, but this method is really a bit despicable.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, do you still not trust me? Over the years, whether before the Xu family's accident or after I came back, have I ever cheated you?" Xu Tianze patted his chest and assured Eunuch Quan.
"That's not the case, it's just that." Eunuch Quan naturally knew that Xu Tianze had no ill will towards him.
Not to mention when Prime Minister Xu first came to power, even when Xu Tianze came back and killed everyone, there was no interest involved between them.
He knew that Xu Tianze would not harm him, but he was still hesitant.
"Oh, that's enough, eunuch. His Majesty will take care of the rest. Anyway, you are just a messenger, right?" Xu Tianze interrupted Eunuch Quan's hesitation. If Eunuch Quan continued to think about it, it would probably be difficult to fool him.
"It's getting late now. I'm sure Your Majesty has almost finished his lunch. I don't know if you can get used to not having Eunuch Quan by your side." Xu Tianze glanced outside, pretending to glance outside inadvertently.
When Eunuch Quan heard this, he went outside and saw that it was already past noon. Not to mention lunch, it was probably too late even for a nap.
After this calculation, cold sweat broke out on Eunuch Quan's forehead. He didn't expect that time would pass by so quickly.
Given Your Majesty's temper, with so many old ministers kneeling outside the Shangshufang, I guess you will not have a good lunch, and even your nap may not be restful.
He should hurry back and check, so as to avoid being punished too severely.
