Wei Ning casually picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite when Lu E hurried in and said, "Your Highness, the Prince Regent has summoned you."
The uncondensed eyes moved slightly, and Hong Shao had a careful mind and quick eyes, and immediately said: "Is it the regent who invites His Royal Highness to come over?"
At the same time, he glared at Lu E fiercely. It didn't matter if he didn't even wink. He was so ignorant of how to speak. No matter how powerful the regent was, he was still a minister. How dare he summon the prince?
She didn't think their master was as useless as the rumors said.
Lu'e was startled, but then she realized what she was doing and stammered: "Yes, it's the regent who invites the prince to go to the meeting hall."
"Lv'e, come with me." Wei Ning stood up, said lightly, and walked out.
Lu'e was a little uneasy for a moment, feeling silently uneasy in her heart, but when she thought of having the chance to see the regent, she happily followed him out.
The Assembly Hall was originally a place where the emperor handled official business, but the emperor of the Qinglong Empire was obsessed with elixirs and beauty and ignored the government affairs at all. All political affairs were handled by the regent. Therefore, most of the time, the assembly hall was used by the regent and loyal ministers to discuss government affairs.
The place.
In the prince's memory, he rarely set foot here, so when Wei Ning walked in, it still felt strange.
"The Prince is here, please come in quickly." The little eunuch outside the palace was very discerning, and he quickly let her in as soon as he saw her.
There were no civil and military officials in the meeting hall. The regent received King An of Xuanwu Kingdom in the back hall. Before she entered, the two of them just talked lightly and were very polite to each other.
Mu Zihan was facing outside, so when he raised his eyes, he saw Wei Ning. Before he could speak, Wei Ning had already spoken.
"Lv'e said that the regent summoned my prince. I didn't dare to delay for a moment and came immediately to obey the regent's instructions."
These two sentences, neither salty nor bland, were neither humble nor arrogant. How could they be as frightening as what she said?
Mu Zihan's expression remained unchanged, but his sharp eyes glanced at Lü E.
Lu'e was just a little palace maid. Under such a gaze, she immediately knelt down in fright and nodded her head to the ground, "This slave deserves to die. This slave made a mistake. Please spare the slave, the Prince Regent!"
"Please calm down the regent." Wei Ning said in a panic, looking very scared.
At this time, King An also raised his head and glanced at Mu Zihan. He had long known that the regent of the Qinglong Empire had exclusive power, but he did not expect that it would be so serious.
Even the prince was so afraid of him. After all, the emperor was just a puppet in his hands.
Mu Zihan remained calm, hiding his emotions so deeply that no one knew what he was thinking.
It's just that he discovered that the prince is not a loser, very beautiful and courageous, and he also discovered that she is very good at acting.
He also performed it specifically for foreign envoys, with the obvious intention of smearing his reputation.
Although it is just a small means, it is more hateful than the people who sent countless assassins to kill him.
"Prince," Mu Zihan finally spoke after being silent for a moment, "as the prince, you will rule the world in the future. Do you know what is the most important thing about being a king? It is the human heart. Even a little palace maid can't discipline it.
, do you still want me to discipline you?"
Wei Ning had to secretly admire him in her heart. He was worthy of being the regent. He put the blame on her in just a few words.
This maid is not due to his majesty, but to you, the prince, who shoulders a heavy responsibility, but you can't even discipline the maid well, and you have to embarrass yourself in front of foreign envoys!
