After the morning court the next day, Donnie Yen was invited outside the imperial study.
As someone who has participated in many times, he also has experience, and it is nothing more than to bear a meal of anger. The so-called thunder and rain are all kindness, and they are regarded as gifts.
He naturally didn't expect that it was because of Master Xu. After all, it was not the first time that he said that Master Xu, and what he said was true, and he didn't say it behind Master Xu's back.
Yu Wenhao did not upload him in immediately, but told him to stand outside and discuss affairs with cabinet officials inside.
Today, the emperor uploaded a lot of officials, and everyone who came in and out saw him standing outside waiting.
At first, he was in a good mood, but half an hour later, before the emperor passed him in, he was a little nervous, plus it was early morning, and he was sleepy and hungry, and he was dizzy when he stood.
Unluckily, Eunuch Mu Ru was waiting inside, and only Master Xu stood guarding at the second gate with his sword in his arms. Because there had been disputes a few days earlier, it was not easy for him to ask.
An hour has passed, but the people serving in front of the imperial family kept pouring in tea, but he didn't even have a drop of water in his throat, and his throat was almost smoking.
Unable to bear, he walked over and asked Xu Yi, "Master Xu, I wonder if the emperor called me for my brother's business?"
Xu Yi didn't know what the emperor wanted to help him vent his anger, but he always cared about what he said a few days earlier, so he said lightly: "I don't know, the emperor didn't say it."
Donnie Yen clasped his fists and said, "Why don't you, Master Xu, go in and see what's going on? Or ask the emperor when he summoned me?"
Xu Dao: "The emperor is discussing matters, how can I go in?"
"Just ask, I'm really dry, sleepy and hungry, and there's a lot going on in the yamen, so it's not good to spend all the time here."
Xu Yi saw that his voice was dry and hoarse. He felt that it was really hard to go to court this early in the morning, so he said: "I will ask someone to pour a glass of water for Lord Zhen."
He didn't dare to be the master in the imperial study, but when people were outside, saliva wouldn't get in the way.
Donnie Yen took the water, drank it quickly, and said to Xu Yi with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Xu."
Xu Yi smiled, "Hands up."
Donnie Yen also smiled, "Master Xu is kind."
Eunuch Mu Ru just came out and saw Xu Yi entering the side hall pouring water for Zhen Zifeng, heard their conversation, and saw their expressions.
The two who had quarreled before seem to have reconciled now, and everyone is smiling. This is a good ending, it should be.
But Eunuch Mu Ru didn't think so. He was even very angry. In this matter, Master Xu should be taught a lesson.
It can be seen that Master Xu's smile is relatively stiff, and it can be seen that he has grudges in his heart, but he still showed goodwill to this person.
On the contrary, Donnie Yen, who was scolding others, acted as if nothing had happened. It could be seen that he didn't take the matter of insulting Mr. Xu at all.
Inflicting harm to others, but not taking it seriously, and continuing to accept the other's kindness, this kind of reconciliation is both comical and absurd.
Eunuch Mu Ru couldn't stand it any longer, but Donnie Yen had the emperor to take care of himself, and he needed to take care of Mr. Xu.
He walked over to Xu Yi and said, "Mr. Xu, we have a business and want you to help me. Come here."
Xu Yi snorted, and he was naturally very willing to help with Eunuch Mu Ru's favor, so he called the Imperial Army to guard him, and he followed Eunuch Mu Ru into the side hall.
After Eunuch Mu Ru asked him to sit down, he said, "Master Xu, how much money have you saved now?"
Xu Yi was taken aback, "What's wrong? Is Eunuch Mu Ru short of money?"
"Yeah, I need money urgently. I wonder if Master Xu can lend me three or four thousand taels?"
Xu Yi's eyes widened, "Thirty or forty thousand taels? My God, Eunuch Mu Ru, what do you want so much money for?"
"Urgent, really urgent, please do me a favor, Master Xu." Eunuch Mu Ru said.
Xu Yi was shocked, "But I don't have tens of thousands of taels. My money is all on Ah Si's side, where Ah Si Zhang's house is."
"Then please ask Master Xu to go back and ask, and give me an answer as soon as possible to see how much you can lend me."
Xu Yi couldn't help but ask: "Why does Eunuch Mu Ru need so much money? You don't have to worry about food and drink, so you have saved a lot over the years?"
"Our family has taken a fancy to a house and needs 100,000 taels."
"One hundred thousand taels? How big is that house?"
"It's not big, but the location is good, just by the Guixun area."
"Why do you buy those places? For the same price, if you buy it in Qinping District, you can buy a very big house, and you live in the palace, why do you want to buy a house?"
Eunuch Mu Ru immediately shook his face and said displeasedly: "Master Xu said whether to borrow it or not, and what to do with so many questions? You and I have served together in front of the imperial court for so many years, and there is always a relationship, but if Master Xu doesn't want to borrow it, There is no need to say so much.”
Xu Yi was embarrassed for a long time, and frowned: "Don't worry, I just asked, I really can't get so much money, I can only find a way for you to get as much as you can."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu. Our family is really in a hurry. You can help me and think of a way. Our family will pay you back as soon as possible."
