Eunuch Wei Datted Xu Bail s shoulder and chanced the t0Dic.””As the saving
goes, a tiger father will not have a dog son, but her son is disappointing.”
“Oh?” “Seventh Prince?’”‘
Speaking of the Seventh Prince, he still had some memories. At that time, the Seventh Prince sent someone to recruit him, but that person was extremely arrogant and even wanted to humiliate him. He was killed by him. Speaking of which, there was still a grudge between the two.
Eunuch Wei drank half of the wine in the jar and said,””Perhaps it’s because of the Sword Empress. His Majesty especially dotes on this son. From a young age, he doted on him more than the other members of the royal family, which also developed his condescending attitude.”
It should have been his honor to have such a powerful mother. However, he used this honor as his support. Sometimes, even His Majesty felt bitter because of this support.”
Xu Bai pondered for a moment and said,” From what Eunuch Wei said, it seems like he wants to find trouble with me. Eunuch Wei also said that he would let go of his hands. It seems like he wants me to deal with it myself?””
Eunuch Wei coughed and said,” We didn’t say that. His Majesty didn’t say that either. However, His Majesty admires you very much now. As long as you don’t do anything too out of line, it’s fine. As for what’s not out of line…” Just don’t cripple it.”
Eunuch Wei emphasized the word “Your Majesty” in his words.
The meaning was obvious. What he said just now was the emperor’s meaning, not his own.
“But I’m not too interested in Your Majesty’s family matters.” Xu Bai stroked his chin.”
What kind of joke was this? He had no intention of helping the Emperor take care of his son. He was still busy with his own matters.
Eunuch Wei could tell that Xu Bai didn’t want to interfere.
This answer was in line with Xu Bai’s personality.
“Lord Xu, this is a good business,” Eunuch Wei said with a smile.” “Oh?” ‘What benefits can I get from that?” Xu Bai asked thoughtfully.”
“Of course, this is related to Lord Xu’s decision to stay or leave.”Eunuch Wei was hinting at something.” Lord Xu, have you ever thought about what kind of reward you should receive for your meritorious service? Is it just a tour around the royal treasury?
“Your Majesty is also worried now, but I think Your Majesty should already have a good solution.”
Xu Bai smiled.” Eunuch Wei, you’re probably overthinking things. I’m not interested in being an official, and I don’t want to be a high-ranking official. ‘”‘
Eunuch Wei waved his hand.” Of course, I know Lord Xu’s character. His Majesty must also know. However, His Majesty has always considered everything thoroughly. I’m sure Lord Xu will be satisfied.”
This time, it was an opportunity. Lord Xu, think about it. If Lord Xu could even tame the Seventh Prince, who would dare to raise any objections to Lord Xu’s reward in the court?”
Xu Bai rubbed his chin with his fingers, thinking about the meaning behind Eunuch Wei’s words.
Eunuch Wei didn’t say much. He knew that Xu Bai was a sensible person and could see through it.
Time seemed to have stopped, and the surroundings fell silent. After about half an incense’s time, Xu Bai finally reacted.
“Alright.” “I believe in Eunuch Wei,” Xu Bai said.
Eunuch Wei shook his head.” Lord Xu, you should trust His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation in 20 days. You have to rest assured.”
Xu Bai did not continue to discuss this matter. Since he had an idea, he would not continue to dwell on it.
The two of them continued to drink. This time, they drank until the table was full of dishes. Eunuch Wei then left in satisfaction.
Two servant girls walked in and cleaned the table before leaving. They closed the door behind them, leaving Xu Bai alone.
Xu Bai didn’t know what to do now that he was free. He went to the door and opened the window. He sat in front of the window and looked at the sky.
He did not know when he had slowly walked to this position. It was indeed beyond his expectations.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Xu Bai felt a little sleepy.
It was not rare for him to have such a pleasant time, but such a pleasant afternoon was a good opportunity to sleep.
Xu Bai closed his eyes, and the puppet of the Fourth Stage continued to stand guard by his side.
Just as he was half-asleep, the sound of footsteps entered his ears, causing him to open his eyes.
Outside the window, Zhou Qing was rushing over. Halfway there, he saw Xu Bai outside the window and his face lit up with joy.
“Xu… Milord, how have you been?” Zhou Qing felt that it was inappropriate to communicate by the window, so he walked to the door and knocked.
Xu Bai naturally knew what Zhou Qing was here for.
Zhou Qing served Prince Six. To put it bluntly, he was Prince Six’s subordinate.
This trip must have something to do with Prince Six.
As for what it was, Xu Bai could roughly guess.
He went to the door and opened it, then returned to his chair and lay down.
Zhou Qing’s heart pounded when he saw Xu Bai’s expression. He did not understand what Xu Bai was thinking, but he was indeed here to complete the mission given to him by the Sixth Prince, so he still cupped his hands and said.
“Congratulations, Lord Xu, for finally arriving in the capital with thousands of people fighting alone. This is worthy of celebration. Zhou Qing’s visit this time is naturally to congratulate Lord Xu.”
Previously, when they were ascending the county, although Zhou Qing was also polite, he was not as respectful as he was now. There was already a huge difference in their status..
