"Good, good, well said!"

Then, the emperor, who had originally followed Xuanyuan Jing Jing into the great hall, slowly walked over. His gaze fell upon Xuanyuan Lian and had a trace of unspeakable profoundness in it as he looked at Prince Lian and his wife and Gu Yan Nian beside him …

"Prince Lian, Prince Lian, Gu Aiqing, come with me."

The emperor waved at the three of them, then turned around and entered the great hall again. Only this time, there was no sign of Xuanyuan Jing around him.

Prince Lian and his wife looked at each other before quietly following.

Those who didn't name him were puzzled. Even the empress dowager was puzzled. "I really don't know what the emperor is up to this time."

Although the empress dowager was somewhat dissatisfied that the emperor didn't tell her what he was doing, she maintained a faint smile on her face. She merely signaled a mama by her side to sit her down before closing her eyes and continuing to rest.

Compared to the empress dowager's calmness, no one else could calm down.

"This... What's going on? "

"How strange, why did you call Prince Lian and his wife in as well?"

"Yeah, yeah …"

Everyone couldn't help but discuss in hushed voices.

Right, today's matter was originally a matter for the Gu family. If the emperor were to call Gu Yinian and his daughter in, it would make sense. After all, they were the ones in charge.

But... This had something to do with Prince Lian's family?

Why have you called Prince Lian and his wife in?

Many people couldn't help but feel puzzled. Although Prince Lian was the emperor's brother, everyone was well aware that the emperor wasn't as close to their brothers as he appeared on the surface. They hadn't heard of Prince Lian receiving any special treatment from the emperor over the years.

"Weird, weird, really weird."

"Sigh, heaven's will is hard to predict."

"Yeah, yeah, looks like I have to be more careful in the future."

In the end, everyone couldn't help but sigh. That's right, that's right! This is heaven's will that's hard to predict. It's really hard to guess the Emperor's thoughts.

Even if the Emperor wanted to consult with someone, shouldn't he have consulted someone similar to Zuo Wuji? The Minister of the Left, Elder of the Pavilion, and a few other scholars are the people the Emperor trusts the most.

However …

After all, the heavens' might was unpredictable. Everyone withdrew their bodies and their hearts were filled with even more regret.

If they had known it would turn out like this, they would never have come …

However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. It was too late for them to regret, so they could only wait.

On the palace wall, all sorts of royal relatives and nobles kneeled on the ground, while countless citizens stretched their necks …

No one noticed that at this moment, a black shadow had quickly left the palace, spurring his horse to gallop all the way to the Gu Mansion.

This was not the first time that he had sneakily gone to King Gu's Estate, but this time was different. Normally, he would be sneaky, but this time, he was on the orders of the emperor. He even had the emperor's orders, specifically asking him to go to King's Manor to find a person.

As for those who were confused, they could only silently kneel …

"Giddy …"

As he thought about how much his father valued him, Xuanyuan Jing couldn't help but feel a surge of fervor. He had been handed such an important matter by his father … He couldn't help but speed up his pace.
