Emperor Mu Wu was not surprised by his answer, and asked slowly, "Then have you asked your brother why he is here today?"
Xie Anjun's heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of his chest.
Of course he asked, but Xie Anbai said nothing!
After a moment, Xie Anjun lowered his head even more, "I... don't know either."
Emperor Mu Wu said nothing.
Xie Anjun became more and more uneasy. He had to rack his brains to excuse himself. He said hesitantly, "My younger brother... although I am related to him by blood, he has a strange temperament since he was a child. Not only I, but also my father, has repeatedly advised him to no avail. It is a headache, so..."
Xie Anbai's eyes were cold, and a hint of sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Even at this time, Xie Anjun still did not forget to smear him. From a certain perspective, he is really persistent.
Emperor Mu Wu raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Xie Anjun without any emotion, and his tone could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Now that you mention it, I remember that Xie Pei was often angry with this kid in the past. Whenever he talked about it, he was always disappointed with him."
Xie Anjun felt relieved.
"My younger brother is naughty and stubborn. As his elder brother, I should teach him well. Unfortunately -"
"He once told me that you were in poor health, but your second son had some talent." Emperor Mu Wu interrupted Xie Anjun, "He also had high hopes for him, but he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day, which really disappointed him."
“…”
The rest of Xie Anjun's words were stuck in his throat, choking him so much that his face turned pale and blue, and it felt like he had been slapped hard in the face, it was burning with pain!
Emperor Mu Wu's words undoubtedly meant that Xie Pei was more optimistic about Xie Anbai at the beginning, but Xie Anbai was not interested in it, so he had to give up!
In fact, Xie Anjun knew this was the truth, but he never wanted to admit it.
Xie Anbai?
He is an uneducated bastard. Even if he is a bit smart and has learned some kung fu, what good can he do?
Can it still make waves?
Xie Anjun never took Xie Anbai seriously.
But now that Emperor Mu Wu said this, it undoubtedly put a naked contrast in front of him!
Xie Anjun's face was stiff and he could only forcefully twitch his lips, but he didn't know what to say.
However, Emperor Mu Wu seemed not to notice the change in his expression. He smiled and said, "But this time, these two boys have done a great service for me. If Xie Pei is still alive, he will definitely be pleased."
Xie Anjun almost couldn't help but look up.
achievement?!
What credit!?
Didn't Xie Anbai kneel outside the palace early in the morning? He looked like he was asking for forgiveness! How could——
Xie An rolled his eyes and looked at his nose, then calmly replied, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to accept your praise."
Emperor Mu Wu nodded at him with a smile, "Why be so modest! If you hadn't been there in person yesterday, how could we have captured the thief who wanted to poison Zheng Baosu? You have done a great deed! I should reward you handsomely!"
Xie Anjun was suddenly struck by lightning!
He was so shocked that his mind went blank and he no longer cared about the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects. He suddenly looked up and his face turned pale.
Emperor Mu Wu saw him like this and met his gaze with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Oh, I forgot, you just entered the palace and don't know this yet."
Every word that followed was like thunder, booming in Xie Anjun's ears!
——"I have decided to personally try the thief and Zheng Baosu. It is a good opportunity for you to come and be a witness. What do you think?" (End of this chapter)
