Upon hearing the name of the tabloid from Lord Zhao, Emperor Xuande's face darkened instantly. Suppressing his anger, he told Lord Zhao to go back first.
As soon as the others left, Emperor Xuande immediately ordered someone to come in, "Guards! Go to Prince Ping's residence! Tell the sixth prince and my good nephew to get into the palace!"
Emperor Xuande practically roared those last few words.
Anyone who discovers they've been used and manipulated would be furious.
Just as the palace maid was about to leave, she heard a voice gritting its teeth coming from the head of the table, "Wait! While you're at it, go to the Marquis of Jing'an's residence and tell Jiang Zi'an to get into the palace with him too!"
"yes!"
Even after the palace servants left, Emperor Xuande was still furious, his eyes blazing with anger.
About ten days ago, Fu Hanlai and Jiang Xuelin went to the palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. At that time, Jiang Xuelin stayed with the Empress Dowager, while Fu Hanlai went to see Emperor Xuande.
He had a very close relationship with Emperor Xuande since childhood, and Emperor Xuande doted on him. He always felt indebted to him, and then Fu Han came to take away a piece of his calligraphy.
“If I wish to make progress in the future, I will do something for the people of this world, which can be considered as sharing the burden of my royal uncle and restoring a bright and clear world to this world.”
These were the words Fu Hanlai said to Emperor Xuande. Emperor Xuande was deeply moved and felt that he had not spoiled his nephew Fu Hanlai for so many years. Therefore, when Fu Hanlai asked for a piece of calligraphy as encouragement, he did not refuse.
Emperor Xuande, feeling gratified that his child had finally grown up, personally wrote a few words. Then, at his good nephew's request, he stamped the imperial seal in the lower right corner and jokingly said that this could be considered an imperial edict, and that if Fu Hanlai failed to do so, he would be punished.
What did his eldest nephew say back then?
Oh, he solemnly vowed that he would definitely do it and would never let down his uncle's trust.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Just then, Crown Prince Fu Yunzhao had something to discuss with him, so he invited him in to wait for Prince Ping and Marquis Jing'an to enter the palace.
It was quite a coincidence that the palace servant went to Prince Ping's residence and found Prince Ping. She said that when Emperor Xuande summoned Prince Ping and his son to the palace, Marquis Jing'an happened to be at Prince Ping's residence as well, which saved the palace servant another trip.
Just as they were discussing how to deal with the two fathers who had caused trouble because of the two debt collectors, they heard from the palace servants that Emperor Xuande had been furious and summoned them to the palace. They immediately realized that things must have been exposed, and their faces fell instantly, and they looked somewhat dejected.
This is a really hard question.
At this time, Prince Ping and Marquis Jing'an were unaware of the audacious things that Fu Hanlai and Jiang Xuelin had done. They thought the trouble they were facing was actually a minor matter.
Because you, as a palace servant, were urging them so urgently, Prince Ping and Marquis Jing'an did not delay and entered the palace almost immediately. When the palace servant asked about Fu Hanlai, they couldn't help but smile bitterly, "A Shou is not in the manor. He went to stay at the estate outside for a few days and has not returned yet."
That little bastard knew he was in trouble, so he ran away with his wife early on!
"His Majesty is pressing us hard. Does Your Highness know which estate the Heir Apparent is on?" The palace maid was also somewhat uneasy about not being able to bring the person back.
"I don't know, I'm looking for it too."
Palace servant: "..."
I understand.
This is trouble again.
Similar things had happened before, but the palace servant never expected that even after Fu Han came here and got married, it would still happen again.
The carriage soon arrived at the palace gate, and everyone had to dismount and walk. Marquis Jing'an, following behind the palace servants, suddenly asked, "Does Your Excellency know how the Emperor is feeling right now?"
It was taboo to ask Emperor Xuande why he had sought them out, so he only tried to find out indirectly from other angles.
The palace servant's expression was somewhat complicated. In the end, he only said that Emperor Xuande was in a bad mood and warned Prince Ping and Marquis Jing'an to be careful. As for the purse that Marquis Jing'an offered him, he refused it.
Everyone knows that the Marquis of Jing'an and the Prince of Ping are deeply trusted by the Xuande Emperor, so they dare not accept this silver.
Upon reaching the palace gate, the palace servant stopped and did not go in. Yan Liying, the chief eunuch by Emperor Xuande's side, had been waiting with a whisk in his hand. As soon as he saw the two of them, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Your Highness, Your Lordship, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
But the specifics of what happened were not revealed at all.
Prince Ping and Marquis Jing'an exchanged a glance, feeling that Yan Liying's smile was malicious, but in the end they still gritted their teeth and stepped inside.
As soon as he entered, Prince Ping was greeted by a cup that was thrown at him, but it didn't hit anyone. Instead, it landed at his feet and shattered into pieces. "Sixth Prince! Look at the good son you've raised!"
Upon seeing the person's father, Emperor Xuande finally couldn't hold back and started criticizing.
Prince Ping and Marquis Jing'an knelt inside, heads bowed, listening to Emperor Xuande's words. He didn't utter a single vulgar curse, but they managed to extract crucial information from them.
Fu Hanlai was incredibly audacious. He tricked Emperor Xuande into giving him an inscription, then framed it and placed it in a shop selling tabloids to suppress any ill-intentioned villains.
King Ping: "..."
Marquis Jing'an: "..."
How can you be so capable!
This is tantamount to deceiving the emperor; where did Ashou get the audacity?
Neither of them expected that Fu Hanlai would cause such a big problem than they had imagined.
However, it was also here that Marquis Jing'an learned that Fu Han was the one who did this, and that it had nothing to do with his daughter.
His daughter knows her place and wouldn't do such a thing. Even though they are now husband and wife, as long as his daughter didn't do this, it's fine.
After a torrent of abuse, Emperor Xuande was parched. He picked up a cup from the table and gulped down the tea that had gone cold, looking down at the two kneeling men with a mixture of disappointment and frustration.
"Where's Ah Shou?!"
"Replying to Your Majesty, Ashou said he went to the estate for a few days and has not yet returned."
Marquis Jing'an remained quietly to the side without uttering a sound.
Anyway, as long as his Lin'er wasn't involved, everything would be fine; he wasn't worried about Fu Hanlai's fate.
Indeed, Marquis Jing'an guessed correctly. When Fu Han came to persuade Emperor Xuande to inscribe the imperial seal, Jiang Xuelin was unaware of his intentions until he obtained the item…
Why not take advantage of it?
Therefore, Jiang Xuelin wasn't entirely innocent, since if she had stopped it, that calligraphy wouldn't have ended up in the shop as a talisman.
At this moment, Jiang Xuelin, who already knew that things had gotten out of hand and that the whole capital knew that Minister Huang couldn't stand other people's business, was listening to the servants describe the news outside with a smile on her lips, while Fu Hanlai and several others were whispering to each other on the other side.
“In the Prince Ping’s residence, she will definitely have to listen to me!” As he said this, Fu Hanlai glanced at Jiang Xuelin, who was completely unaware of what was happening, and said with certainty, “That is the Prince Ping’s residence.”
Just then, Jiang Xuelin said something to the other person, and her smile suddenly widened. Fu Hanlai, who noticed this, was stunned for a moment, as if he had been burned, and immediately looked away.
"...That's right! I'm in charge!"
