Wu Hantian suddenly stood up. How could the Ninth Five Supreme Being suddenly visit his minister's house in person? It was such a big deal that he had to enter the palace quickly as soon as he issued an order!
Before the old lady and Jiang Qingxue understood what the emperor meant, Wu Hantian immediately said to the young man: "Quick! Get someone ready to go down—"
"Yes." The butler responded immediately.
"You all, come with me to greet me." Wu Hantian said eagerly, and suddenly looked at Wu Sheyue who was kneeling in the middle of the ground.
This daughter's clothes were quite fitting and not dirty, so there was no need to ask her to avoid them. Moreover, Wu Sheyue also left a deep impression on the emperor. Although she didn't know the reason for the emperor's sudden visit, it would be bad if she didn't come forward to attract the emperor's cross-examination.
Wu Hantian thought so and immediately left the house without giving any special orders. Wu Liuyun and Jiang Qingxue immediately followed him with dignified expressions, as if they were going to a big scene. Wu Jinghua, Wu Ziming and several aunts followed behind to accompany the old lady. They all looked very excited. After all, the emperor was coming in person, so the opportunity to get close to the emperor was really rare.
When everyone walked out, Wu Sheyue consciously followed in a low-key manner. She was very uneasy. She didn't know what the change was, and the matter was completely out of her control.
As soon as the group walked out of the two doors, they saw the emperor coming in a hurry, leading a dozen slaves and eunuchs behind him. Unlike Wu Sheyue who was casual and low-key the last time she saw him in Prince Yu's Mansion, the emperor didn't even change his clothes today and came here wearing a bright dragon robe and court uniform! His face was very majestic and solemn, even angry, making people unable to get close to him in the slightest.
"Greetings to the Emperor—" Wu Hantian and his entire family immediately knelt down and knelt on the ground.
"Get up!" The emperor looked very anxious. He came up in a hurry, grabbed Wu Hantian's hand and asked, "I heard about the matter at Wu Xiang's family today. Has it been settled now?"
The first sentence he came up in a hurry mentioned Wu Ziqi, which made Wu Hantian and Jiang Qingxue very flattered.
"This... This matter involves my third daughter, and I haven't made a decision yet." Wu Hantian didn't want to directly say that he planned to take the person to the clan's mansion for trial, at least not to give the emperor the impression that he didn't recognize his relatives.
"It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores. It is difficult for Wu Xiang to do this between two biological flesh and blood." The emperor said seriously, and used his hands to help Wu Hantian stand up.
After receiving the order, a bunch of people behind them followed suit. Jiang Qingxue and Wu Liuyun looked at each other in private, thinking that the emperor valued Wu Ziqi's talents, so he came here to give advice? So isn't this pie in the sky
Wu Hantian stood up but still half-bent down respectfully, and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking about my family affairs and coming here specially. I am very frightened."
"Hey..." The emperor's eyes flashed as if he had some deep meaning. He patted Wu Hantian on the shoulder, looked around at the few people and asked, "I came here on important matters. Where is Wu Sheyue, come and accompany me. Walk."
Then, Wu Sheyue at the end felt that she was being targeted by everyone.
It's already weird for the emperor to rush to the Prime Minister's Mansion in such a hurry without changing his clothes, but also... He came up without saying anything and asked her to accompany him for a walk? Why does she always feel that she is in trouble? Speaking of which, Wu Ziqi shouldn't have such great charm, right? She shouldn't be so arrogant that she would be questioned about it, right
Wu Yin'er looked at Wu Sheyue in a daze with a strange look on her face. Jiang Qingxue, on the other hand, was thinking carefully... Her son was considered outstanding after all. It seemed that the emperor only knew about Zi Qi because he was young and promising? Since he asked Ziqi first and then mentioned Wu Sheyue, it must be because he couldn't stand her virtue. And Jiang Qingxue really couldn't think of any other possibility. The only thought that Wu Sheyue was going to die made her heart gradually filled with hope.
Wu Sheyue bravely moved forward, leaned over and said respectfully: "Yes."
Wu Hantian frowned and wanted to say a few words, but the emperor waved his hand indifferently, "I'm fine for the time being. There's no need to worry, Prime Minister Wu. I just have something unclear and need to ask." He said with a very firm attitude. Be alone.
Wu Sheyue walked over honestly. Although there were all kinds of glares on her back, her intuition told her that this matter must have nothing to do with Wu Ziqi. This must be something so big that the emperor didn't even bother to talk to her. A high-ranking official does superficial things.
But if this huge matter needs to be discussed with myself, that would be so joyful.

In the small west courtyard.
The servants and maids have all retreated. Compared to the silence in the courtyard, there are many people waiting outside the door. This must be the first time that the West Courtyard has received such a big-name guest, but the renovations and decorations were not in vain.
The emperor sat on Wu Sheyue's usual chair in her room, looking at the confusing toolbox in front of the table with great interest. All the slaves were sent out, except for an old eunuch who stayed by his side and didn't talk much. The atmosphere was quiet and strange.
The emperor is so out of character today, Wu Sheyue said to her heart. They say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. I wonder if the emperor would chop her up and feed her to the dogs just because he was unhappy. Seeing that the emperor had turned on the curious mode of a child and was prone to touching randomly, Wu Sheyue was nervous and sweating profusely and interrupted: "Well, the emperor..."
The emperor stopped looking around, looked at her with a half-smile, took something out of his sleeves, slapped it on the table and asked with a smile, "Did you do it?"
As soon as she saw this thing, Wu Sheyue's head was buzzing and she was dizzy. That was actually the gun she gave to Yu Jing! "I, this..." Are you admitting this situation or not? What can I do to avoid dying quickly? !
The emperor was not annoyed and asked in a light tone, "Broken all the bones of a person in one go?"
"… yes."
Then the emperor laughed. He put the gun in his hand, weighed it back and forth and asked, "You said it yourself, can you still shoot people in the head?"
"Yes." Unexpectedly, the emperor even knew this sentence. Wu Sheyue thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something key, and she decided to throw everything into the fire.
"If the emperor likes it, I can make a few more for the emperor to hunt with. I wonder what kind of power the emperor wants. Is it capable of hunting birds or tigers? Or... it can break wooden doors and tables. Chair, break a house, break a city gate..." The more she spoke, the more evil she became, and the more modern she spoke, until she couldn't stop the car.
She was not stupid, she already knew why the emperor came to see her in such a hurry. What could be more worthwhile than something that can kill someone with a hook of your fingers
And what she knows better is that leaders are far-sighted. Since Yu Jing can hand things over to the emperor, he must have reminded the emperor where this thing can best be used.
And leaders are also ambitious. If a gun aroused the emperor's sense of ambition, then what she just promised was simply a grand blueprint. Chairman Mao likes to use this thing to conquer the world. Who wouldn't be happy to see it? She is in urgent need of shelter now. Yu Jing has already donated people, so she can take over for the time being. Anyway, it's one thing to say yes, and another thing to do it or not.
"Wu Sheyue." But the emperor's tone became colder and he seemed to be angry. The old eunuch covered his mouth with his hands in panic and looked at Wu Sheyue in confusion.
However, she gathered her thoughts, knelt down and said, "Yes." She was sweating a lot from behind, hoping that she really understood Yu Jing's intention.
The emperor sat on the chair and leaned slightly closer to her and asked, "Do you know what you just said?"
Wu Sheyue tried her best to look at the emperor with pure and honest eyes, "I just saw that the emperor was interested in this, so I wanted to know the emperor's preferences. I hope I can make it for the emperor."
"So, what you just said was just casual talk?" Wu Sheyue suddenly felt that there was a lot of danger in it.
"It doesn't count. After all, it's just a goal. If it can be achieved one day, wouldn't it be great?" Wu Sheyue smiled calmly, but what she was thinking about was that if she could never do it, what would happen if she could never do it? What else~
Sure enough, the emperor's cold face gradually softened, "You're right, I don't find it strange what your goal is. But I wonder myself, why didn't I think you were so special before. The things you design are really getting better and better. I like it more and more."
"It is my blessing to serve the emperor. I never thought that making random gadgets would make the emperor happy. I am absolutely flattered."
"Old Li." The emperor leaned back slightly on his chair and narrowed his eyes. The old eunuch took two steps closer, and the emperor chuckled and said, "To draw up the decree, first make me a princess and give her the title Mingyue."
"Yes~" The old eunuch quickly agreed.
This move was not unexpected. In history, a certain maid could still become a princess if she went to get married (although she was a temporary substitute). She made such a big pretense, and she could be a princess.
Moreover, Wu Sheyue knew why the emperor delivered the goods in advance. He was obviously worried that she would not work or care about it after she had made her promise, so he gave her a benefit first, forcing her to do everything possible to give an explanation. Moreover, the princess position is still a reasonable position. When the time comes, whether she is good or bad, she will have room for promotion or demotion.
What an old fox, it seems like he will really run away when the time comes. Wu Sheyue thought about it and felt that she was still at a loss. She refused sadly: "But if the emperor does this, it will hurt daddy's heart."
"Is it?"
Her eyes were red, "I accidentally hurt my eldest brother, but the emperor made me the princess... After all, my father is the prime minister, and he works hard day and night for the emperor. I can't bear it. What if I hurt my father and daughter? Love is not Yue'er's original intention."
"You." The emperor sneered. He figured out that this girl still wanted him to help with this matter. "I can go and comfort the witch prime minister. I heard it was all a misunderstanding. I think the witch prime minister won't care too much." (To be continued)
