Emperor Chen stood up, glanced at the ministers in the palace, and left slowly with Concubine You.

After Emperor Chen left, the ministers also left one after another. They gathered together in twos and threes, chatting quietly, pointing at Zhu Xiuyuan without concealing their ridicule.

Because of the martial arts competition he organized, the martial arts champion he selected actually openly opposed him in the court...

This is really a big joke.

Since Han Qingshan has made his choice, it is naturally impossible for him to get close to Zhu Xiuyuan again.

Without even looking at Zhu Xiuyuan, he waved his sleeves and left the palace.

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't know why Han Qingshan suddenly seemed to be a different person.

I remember that before and during the martial arts competition, although he and Han Qingshan were not very close, they were not as distant as they are now.

"It seems the water in the Kingsguard is very deep!"

Zhu Xiuyuan secretly thought that he could only blame it on Han Qingshan being "infected" by something after going to the Imperial Guard.

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and did not take it seriously, nor did he take the officials' ridicule into his eyes. He waved his sleeves and prepared to return home to catch up on his sleep.

"Uncle Jiang Cheng, stay!"

Suddenly, a eunuch called Zhu Xiuyuan from behind.

Zhu Xiuyuan stopped and turned around to look, cupping his hands and saying, "It turns out to be Eunuch Zhang!"

The ministers who were laughing at Zhu Xiuyuan also stopped and peeked in this direction either covertly or blatantly.

"Uncle Jiang Cheng, stay here. Your Majesty invites you. Please come with our family to the Qin'an Hall to see Your Majesty!" Eunuch Zhang laughed.

"Please, Eunuch Zhang!" Zhu Xiuyuan cupped his hands and followed Eunuch Zhang deep into the inner courtyard of the palace.

The ministers looked at Zhu Xiuyuan's back, their expressions were very strange, with residual sneers, envy, jealousy, a trace of anger, and a look of being slapped in the face.

It is true that although a "traitor" like Han Qingshan appeared, Zhu Xiuyuan was embarrassed.

However, he is still a popular person around Chen Huang.

After the court meeting ended in the middle of the night, Emperor Chen still retained Uncle Jiang Cheng, and only Uncle Jiang Cheng was left behind. Even Prime Minister Li Zhong, King Zhongshan, Han Qingshan, etc. did not receive this treatment...

Suffering from this shock, the ministers turned pale and stopped talking. They just walked out of the palace quickly, got on their carriages, and immediately returned to their homes.

Zhu Xiuyuan followed Eunuch Zhang's footsteps and entered the harem from the outer court. He walked along a small corridor, avoiding the palaces and courtyards of the harem along the way. After a while, Zhu Xiuyuan arrived at Qin'an Hall.

Entering the palace, you can see Emperor Chen. After the ceremony between the emperor and his ministers, Emperor Chen ordered to serve tea.

After Zhu Xiuyuan sat down, he took a sip of tea, then looked at Emperor Chen and Concubine You, wondering why he was called here.

"Liang Guo! Liang Guo! This Liang Guo again..."

Emperor Chen looked very ugly. While reciting the word "Liang Guo", he patted the armrests of the chair with his hands, making a snapping sound.

Zhu Xiuyuan saw this and vaguely guessed the reason for Emperor Chen's move.

"His Majesty……"

Standing next to Emperor Chen, Concubine You couldn't help but comfort him and grabbed one of Emperor Chen's hands.

Thanks to Concubine You's comfort, Emperor Chen's face gradually relaxed and he breathed a deep sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, the noble concubine, you summoned me late at night, but for the matter of the Liang Kingdom?" Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and asked.

"I wish you, Aiqing, please sit down first." Concubine You waved her hands with a smile on her face.

Zhu Xiuyuan sat down as instructed and then looked at Emperor Chen.

"This is the second time Liang Guo has broken his promise. This is already the second time!"

After Chen Huang was relieved, he finally spoke, but he still frowned, looking worried and extremely dissatisfied.

"For the first time, the Northern Yuan Dynasty encountered a cold current and went south to plunder. The Tibetan people on the plateau were also waiting for the opportunity. The Liang State was enemies in the north and south, and Teng was unable to take action, which led to the Yan State's hundreds of thousands of Yan troops going south to invade the border!"

"This time, due to the assassination of King Qian of the Liang Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom once again engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Tibet. At the same time, it deployed 300,000 troops in the northern border to confront the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"

"This situation is so similar to last time!"
