"What's going on?"
After hearing Zhu Youxiao's question, Chen Hong was also confused and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on. Why don't I ask someone to check it out?"
"Forget it, that's not necessary." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said casually.
Although he didn't know what happened, Zhu Youxiao was sure that this matter was closely related to Duke Yingguo Zhang Weixian. It must be this old man who was behind this. Xu Xi was not crazy, so why would he come here to do this?
After a moment's silence, Zhu Youxiao said, "Let's pass this news on to the Duke of Ying and see how he reacts. Keep the news secret and don't let anyone below spread it around."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away." Chen Hong agreed quickly.
He could also tell that his own emperor was genuinely angry this time, and his mood wasn't very high. If he made any mistakes at this moment, he might become the emperor's punching bag.
This kind of mistake must not be made.
The news soon reached the ears of the Duke of England, and Zhang Weixian's face was full of disbelief.
In any case, Zhang Weixian never expected that he would be tricked by Xu Xi. At this moment, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and his heart was full of anger. He really wanted to find Xu Xi and kill him with a knife.
What kind of stupid thing did he do? Isn't this courting death?
If Xu Xi wrote the petition as he said, and then signed it himself, and the two of them submitted it together, the meaning of this matter would be different.
The two dukes jointly advocated for this, which can be said to be the nobles' willingness in this regard. At the same time, they took the lead and turned this matter into a collective event.
But now Xu Xi went there himself and reported the matter directly to His Majesty, and this became Xu Xi's own wish.
You must know that individual will and collective will are different.
It is safer to hide in the embrace of a group; at the same time, it is easier to accomplish things by utilizing the power of the group.
If you step out alone, you will easily become cannon fodder. At the same time, His Majesty would not like to see anyone step out alone, especially someone like Xu Xi.
Zhang Weixian stood up helplessly, forced himself to calm down his anger, and then turned and walked towards the West Garden.
Now that the matter has been exposed, even if I strangle Xu Xi to death, it will be useless. At this point, I can only go to His Majesty.
Thinking about how to tell His Majesty all the way, Zhang Weixian soon arrived at the West Garden.
After seeing Chen Hong, Zhang Weixian quickly said, "Eunuch Chen, how are you today?"
Seeing Zhang Weixian, Chen Hong sighed in his heart.
This matter is indeed related to the Duke of England. It seems that His Majesty is right. I should stay away from the Duke of England to avoid His Majesty's anger from affecting me.
Although he really wanted to stay away from the Duke of England, Chen Hong still had a bright smile on his face. "Thanks to the Duke, my life is still okay."
Chen Hong smiled and said, "The Duke is coming to the palace today, but is he asking to see His Majesty?"
Chen Hong didn't want to say anything more to Zhang Weixian now, so he took the initiative to change the subject.
Zhang Weixian looked at Chen Hong and originally wanted to find out some information from this eunuch, but when he saw Chen Hong's expression, Zhang Weixian knew that Chen Hong must know something, but he would never tell him.
With Chen Hong's current status in the palace, there weren't many things he could hide from her. His attitude was a clear rejection. If the matter wasn't too serious, Chen Hong wouldn't have this attitude.
This made Zhang Weixian's heart sink, so he quickly said, "Yes, there are some things I need to present to Your Majesty."
Chen Hong nodded and said, "Then the Duke will come with us!"
After hearing this, Zhang Weixian was stunned, and then asked: "What do you mean, father-in-law?"
"His Majesty is already waiting for the Duke." Chen Hong said with a smile, "His Majesty has just instructed that if the Duke arrives, there's no need to announce him, just let him in directly."
After hearing what Chen Hong said, Zhang Weixian became even angrier, but the one he was angry at was Xu Xi.
It turns out that he is a person who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. I almost got cheated by him!
If I hadn't reacted in time and come directly to the palace, this time would have been disastrous!
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir." Zhang Weixian said to Chen Hong with a smile and bowed.
"You are too polite, Duke." Chen Hong said with a smile, and turned around to lead the way.
The two walked all the way to the lakeside of Xiyuan and saw Zhu Youxiao.
As the weather gets warmer, Zhu Youxiao can go out and have fun again.
After a whole winter of being cooped up, his whole body felt like it was rusted, so Zhu Youxiao was now lying on a rocking chair by the lake, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand. As for whether he could catch anything, that was another matter.
After seeing this, Zhang Weixian breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty was clearly angry, but the extent of the situation didn't seem to be that serious.
Coming straight to Zhu Youxiao's side, Chen Hong said softly, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Ying is here."
Gently lifting his eyelids, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, then glanced at Zhang Weixian who was standing not far behind him, nodded and said, "Let him come over."
It wasn't long before Zhang Weixian arrived in front of Zhu Youxiao and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I am Zhang Weixian, your servant."
"Alright, there's no need for all the formalities here," Zhu Youxiao said, waving his hand. At the same time, he instructed Chen Hong, "Bring a stool for the Duke of Ying. He's not young anymore, and standing to talk is bad for his health."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Zhang Weixian said quickly.
After Chen Hong brought the stool over and Zhang Weixian sat down, Zhu Youxiao said, "My dear, what is the matter with you entering the palace?"
