Xu Changqing was so angry that he stood up and pulled Xu Junlou out, "Follow me to the East Palace immediately."
The uncle and nephew rushed all the way to the East Palace, but they were rejected as soon as they arrived at the door.
"Stop, the East Palace is an important place, no unauthorized entry is allowed!"
Hearing the scolding of the guards guarding the door, Xu Changqing took a very low posture, cupped his hands and said, "I, Xu Changqing, from the Department of Household Affairs, have something to request to see His Highness, and I ask the guards to accommodate me."
The guard came closer and saw that it was indeed Xu Changqing. His face softened a lot and he said: "At this hour, His Highness has already rested. What does Mr. Xu have to do? See you tomorrow?"
Xu Changqing smiled bitterly and said: "It's really important, so please let me know."
The guard knew that Xu Changqing was a celebrity in the East Palace, so he did not embarrass him and nodded: "Please wait a moment, I will go in and report."
"Thank you very much." Xu Changqing handed over his hand again.
The guard turned around and went in. Not long after, he came out, followed by Wan Jiaojiao.
Wan Jiaojiao stood inside the door, looked at Xu Changqing with a smile, and said, "Master Xu came to the East Palace so late, but is there something wrong?"
Xu Changqing was even more polite to Wan Jiaojiao, cupping his hands and saying: "There is indeed something important, please let Miss Wan inform you."
But Wan Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "His Highness said before that I won't see anyone tonight."
Xu Changqing was stunned.
He had come later than this before, and His Highness the Crown Prince had always summoned him immediately, but it had never been like this.
Seeing that Xu Changqing was still talking, Wan Jiaojiao glanced at Xu Junlou, who had been guarding behind Xu Changqing for a long time, and said: "Master Xu is here for Fu Cheng's affairs."
Seeing that Wan Jiaojiao had exposed it, Xu Changqing did not deny it, and said with a wry smile: "I am just a nephew, raised as a son. He is young and shallow, and does not know long-term solutions. As an uncle, I always have to teach him."
Wan Jiaojiao nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. Your Highness is also capable of physical strength, but has Mr. Xu ever thought about it, that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings?"
"Why didn't His Highness say hello to you, but directly made a choice for Fu Cheng? It's because he wanted to know Fu Cheng's true inner thoughts. Now that Fu Cheng has made a choice, why bother forcing Mr. Xu?"
After being asked this series of questions, Xu Changqing actually felt speechless.
Wan Jiaojiao added: "Master Xu, His Highness has already arranged many things. Master Xu does not need to worry too much. Can you help him once or twice, and can you help him for a long time? What's more, His Highness may not harm him.
, maybe this choice is better?”
Xu Changqing sighed and said: "Miss Wan's words are reasonable, but if I care about you, it will cause chaos."
Wan Jiaojiao smiled lightly, bowed Yingying, and said a blessing, "It's late at night, so I would like to ask Mr. Xu to go back and rest early, but don't delay tomorrow's morning meeting."
After saying that, Wan Jiaojiao took the lantern and turned around to go back.
Seeing that the door of the East Palace could not be entered, Xu Junlou panicked, "Uncle, what should I do now?"
"What do you mean?"
Xu Changqing actually became free and easy, and said: "What Miss Wan said makes sense. Since you have made your own choice and His Highness has approved it, if you go back on it now, wouldn't you treat the important affairs of the government as trivial matters? That's all."
Xu Changqing said, turned around and walked towards home.
Xu Junlou chased after him and said anxiously: "But didn't my uncle say that it is most appropriate for my nephew to stay with His Highness now?"
