The next day, at noon, Zhou Shuren looked at the joint booklet that Xiao Qing handed to him, "So many people are asking for permission in just one morning?"
Xiao Qing kept his eyes on Zhou Shuren, "The rumors are getting stronger and stronger. If we want to stop them, we just need to see the emperor."
Zhou Shuren felt Xiao Qing observing him, so he put down the joint book in his hand, picked up a pen and wrote his name after Xiao Qing's name, and finished it in one go. He handed it to Qiu Yan, "Your Excellency is right."
Xiao Qing, "..."
Qiu Yan also wrote his name and asked, "Do all officials in the Ministry of Revenue need to write it?"
Xiao Qing regretted not noticing anything from Zhou Shuren's face, and took the written list, "No need."
Zhou Shuren waited for Xiao Qing to leave, stroking his beard. All the ministers in the court, whether they had ulterior motives or were devoted to the emperor, were a little panicked at this time.
Qiu Yan always felt that something big was going to happen, and he was trembling with fear. "My eyelids have been twitching recently. They are twitching very violently and I am very uneasy."
Zhou Shuren thought, sometimes I am timid, but I am actually quite sensitive mentally.
In the afternoon, officials above the fourth rank had their names written on a list and sent to the palace.
In the Ningguo Mansion, Ningguo's pupils shrank, and he stood up to greet him, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince supported his grandfather and didn't let him really greet him. "I've made you worried recently."
Duke Ningguo was indeed a little panicked after learning that his daughter was really poisoned. It was not until the Queen sent a message that he learned that the poison had been resolved, and he felt relieved.
Duke Ningguo saw that the prince was dressed in casual clothes and his face did not look depressed at all because of being confined. Instead, he was full of vigor. Then he thought of the news his daughter had sent back that everything was fine. What else could he not understand? "Is the emperor okay?"
The prince smiled and said, "Good, eat well, sleep well, and recuperate for a long time recently. Father looks a lot younger."
Duke Ningguo grinned, thinking that everything was a trap. "That's good, that's good."
The prince took the fruit and ate it. "Today we have jointly requested permission to see the emperor. Does grandpa know?"
"I know, and I found this old man. I followed the crowd and wrote it."
Prince, "The news of my father's fainting will spread tomorrow. Please ask grandfather to ask for permission to release me from the ban and enter the palace tomorrow."
In fact, he could send a message to the Duke's Mansion, but he still wanted to come in person to make his grandfather feel completely at ease.
Duke Ningguo understood, "I understand."
The prince was very busy, so he stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so you don't have to see me off, grandpa."
As he spoke, he nodded to his third uncle outside the door.
The Duke felt completely relieved when he saw his youngest son leaving with the Crown Prince. He laughed out loud and even said several good words.
At the Yaohou Mansion, Yao Wenqi said to the dark, "Send the two young masters away tomorrow."
"yes."
It was in a dark place, and the sound seemed like an illusion. When I looked carefully, there was no one there.
Yao Wenqi closed his eyes and suddenly laughed softly. He was waiting for the fate of the Zhang family. The laughter soon stopped and Yao Wenqi seemed to be asleep, motionless.
In the Qi Palace, Princess Qi let her mother and sister-in-law keep persuading her. She turned a deaf ear to them until her mother and sister-in-law were exhausted. Then she lazily asked, "Are you done?"
Princess Qi's sister-in-law, Yun, choked up. Princess Qi's mother was so angry, "We are all doing this for your own good. Look at your attitude."
Princess Qi sneered, "What's my attitude? Should I applaud your wishful thinking?"
The mother of the Princess of Qi took a deep breath and said, "Now that the Emperor has fainted and the Crown Prince is under house arrest, this is a great opportunity for the King of Qi. Last time, the Emperor trusted the King of Qi very much, and this was witnessed by all the ministers. You, you really pissed me off."
The Princess of Qi was still unhurried. It was for her own good. Bah, it was all for her own ambition. After the Prince of Qi stepped down, the Wu family saw that they really had no chance, so they completely stopped. Now, they are thinking about it again.
Princess Qi's breathing paused as she thought about the fake prince in the front yard. The emperor trusted his own people at that time, not the prince. Now the prince has disappeared, but her own family is having fun.
Princess Qi's mother wanted to continue, but Princess Qi slammed the table and said, "I will pretend I didn't hear what you said today. Go back and tell Dad and Big Brother that we in the Qi Palace have no ambitions. If they have ambitions, don't drag the Qi Palace into it. You will have to bear the consequences of your life or death."
Princess Qi continued under her mother's incredulous gaze, "From today on, the Qi Palace will close its doors and will not see anyone. I am talking about anyone."
The mother of the Princess of Qi was furious. What had she done to her daughter? Thinking of the King of Qi, she became even angrier. The King of Qi refused to see anyone!
At Zhou's house, Zhulan heard the maid's report that Mingrui had arrived, so she put down the book in her hand.
When Mingrui entered the room, he saw his grandmother holding a foreign book. His eyes paused, and he came to his senses before calling his grandmother.
Zhulan, "Do you have something to ask grandma?"
Mingrui sat there feeling a little embarrassed, "Grandma, my grandson doesn't want to get engaged so early."
Zhulan chuckled. This child was the first among her grandchildren to express his thoughts to her. "Okay."
Mingrui couldn't believe it was so simple, "Grandma, did you hear what your grandson said?"
"I heard it clearly. Your grandma's ears are still very good."
Mingrui really mustered up his courage to come here, and he thought of many excuses but they were useless. "Aren't you going to ask your grandson why he doesn't want to get engaged soon?"
"Don't ask. It's good that you have your own ideas."
Mingrui grinned, "Thank you, grandma."
Zhulan sighed in her heart, Mingrui's face is really good-looking, who knows how many girls he will charm when he grows up, "You will have no shortage of girls who like you in the future."
Mingrui blushes a lot, and he has no shortage of it now. When he walks on the street, many girls will blush when they see him.
Mingrui quickly changed the subject, "Grandma, do you like foreign studies?"
Zhulan's heart moved, "I like it. Is Mingrui curious too?"
Mingrui, "Dad taught me a few questions, and I found them very interesting."
Zhulan waved her hand, "Come here, let grandma test you."
Mingrui was full of confidence. Although he was mature, he was still a child at age and hoped to get praise from his elders. However, after a quarter of an hour, sweat appeared on Mingrui's forehead. After another quarter of an hour, Mingrui's eyes became dull.
When Mingrui recovered, he stared at his grandmother in amazement, stuttering, "Did grandma teach you all this by yourself?"
Zhulan's eyes were filled with pride. Pah, what was there for her to be proud of when she was so grown up bullying a child? "Your grandfather taught me some of it, but the rest was figured out by grandma herself. Do you want to see the rough paper that grandma used to calculate the problems?"
In Mingrui's heart, the image of his grandmother instantly crushed that of his grandfather. He had never experienced how powerful his grandfather was, but he had personally experienced how powerful his grandmother was, especially since his grandmother was a woman, and an older woman at that, and yet she was self-taught.
His memory is very good. The question that grandma gave him has been bothering him for two days. Grandma is amazing. "Think about it."
Zhulan signaled Mrs. Song to bring some straw paper, handed it to her grandson, and then explained what her grandson didn't understand, "Do you understand?"
