Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: A headache-inducing quarrel!
“Father Emperor, since you have summoned the National Teacher to the palace, there is nothing further for your son to do. I will take my leave…”
“You stay here as well!”
Before Sui Zimo could finish, the Emperor glared at him and commanded in a stern voice.
Thinking he could slip away was not as simple as he hoped. Today, he must see Yin Baiqing safe and sound before himself.
Otherwise, neither Sui Zimo nor Suyang would have an easy ti!
…
Half an hour later, the National Teacher, Suyang, arrived at the Imperial Study.
“Your subject Suyang, pays his respects to the Emperor. Long live, long live…”
“Enough, rise.”
The Emperor, seeing him kneel, could not be bothered to listen to his pointless words and impatiently bade him stand.
Upon hearing this, Suyang imdiately stood up, albeit a bit breathlessly.
He had been rushed over by the n sent by Eunuch Gui, presumably the first minister to run on foot through the Imperial Pathway into the Imperial Study? Certainly unprecedented.
“Your Majesty, may I ask why you urgently summoned your subject to the palace? What is the matter?” he asked.
Of course, upon seeing Sui Zimo in the Imperial Study, he already knew the reason, but to pretend he knew nothing, he continued to inquire.
“I ask you, where is Wu’er? Has he been taken by Prince Mo?” the Emperor inquired coldly.
He wanted to catch Suyang off guard, not giving him a chance to think.
“Wu’er? Who is Wu’er?”
Upon hearing the Emperor’s words, Suyang was initially taken aback, then his gaze swept back and forth between the Emperor and Sui Zimo.
Don’t bla him for being stunned; for a mont, he truly did not understand who the Emperor referred to as Wu’er. Could it be that the Emperor had summoned him not for the Fifth Young Master of Prince Yi’s Mansion?
The Emperor: “…”
This Suyang, usually so clever, and now he dares to feign ignorance?!
“National Teacher, the Wu’er Father Emperor is referring to is none other than the Fifth Young Master of Prince Yi’s Mansion,” Sui Zimo explained on behalf of the Emperor.
“The Fifth Young Master?”
This ti, Suyang finally snapped back to reality.
So, it was still about that matter—he had thought so major incident had occurred.
“Your Majesty, why do you ask about that child? He has been well in my abode. Just before I ca to the palace, I still heard his noisy commotion in the residence, giving people quite the headache!”
He said innocently, looking at the Emperor.
The Emperor: “!!!”
Were these two trying to infuriate him to death before they would rest?
He had already received news; that little fellow was certainly no longer Baiqing. And these two wanted to make a fool out of him?
“Suyang, you…”
“Your Majesty, not that your subject wishes to speak out of turn, but your subject honestly cannot bring himself to like the Fifth Young Master,” Suyang continued before the Emperor could finish.
Speaking of the Fifth Young Master of Prince Yi’s Mansion, whether the real one from before or the imposter now, either could drive him mad enough to tear out his hair.
“That child is too noisy, always clamoring to go ho, yet your subject could not ignore your imperial edict to send him back to Prince Yi’s Mansion. He had to constantly have people watch over the child.
Your Majesty, you have no idea. Just to watch that one child, your subject has assigned fifty n, changing shifts every hour, which has been exhausting for the servants and maids.
Your Majesty, do you wish to see the Fifth Young Master? If so, shall your subject direct the steward of my residence to bring the child to the palace?”
