Imperial City, Hall of Mental Cultivation
Thunder rumbled outside, lightning flashed, and a big curtain was pulled up between heaven and earth, covering everything in this big curtain.
Chu Jinghui, who had already bathed and changed clothes, looked at the dark sky outside the palace with a heavy look, without saying a word.
Eunuch Zhang stood carefully behind him, but he was really worried.
He glanced at Suotu, who was standing on the other side, and he also had a solemn look on his face.
Between the two of them, no one could guess what the emperor was thinking in his mind at this moment.
However, they didn't dare to guess, let alone ask.
Chu Jinghui stood facing the sky and the earth in front of the hall for a long time, so long that a thin line of sweat broke out on Eunuch Zhang's back.
The corners of my eyes were already soaked with sweat. It was so salty that it felt a little uncomfortable to prick my eyes.
But Eunuch Zhang didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe it.
"Xiao Zhangzi..."
Chu Jinghui's voice was a little erratic. Although Eunuch Zhang was fully focused on Chu Jinghui, perhaps it was because he had been silent for too long. Even Chu Jinghui called his name, and he was still in a daze.
After being stunned for several seconds, he came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I'm here!"
"Go, bring that Yang Chengming and call me over!"
When the words Chu Jinghui fell into the ears of Eunuch Zhang and Suotu, they were both stunned.
"Your Majesty, it's almost the second watch. Besides, it's raining heavily outside and the key has already been issued in the palace. Now go and announce Lord Yang. This... this is against the regulations!"
Eunuch Zhang said to Chu Jinghui.
"According to your opinion, it is not possible for me to see a minister now?"
Chu Jinghui's voice didn't have much fluctuation, but Eunuch Zhang and Suotu still felt a surge of overwhelming anger from the words.
The two of them knelt down in front of Chu Jinghui one after another. "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Summoning Lord Yang at this time will alarm many people inside and outside the palace. Not to mention anything else, early tomorrow morning, the admonishers will definitely read the emperor's book in the court, and it will also be recorded in the history books."
"Besides, Your Majesty has been busy all night today, so he should take some care of the dragon body."
Listening to Eunuch Zhang and Suotu speaking one after another, Chu Jinghui finally spoke, "Forget it, after tomorrow morning, take that boy Yang Chengming directly to Imperial Study, don't disturb anyone!"
"According to the order!"
Chu Jinghui glanced at the dark sky again, snorted coldly, flicked his wide sleeves, and turned around to leave Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Eunuch Zhang and Suotu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, followed closely behind Chu Jinghui, and Hall of Mental Cultivation also came out.
And the rain outside is still falling, showing no signs of weakening at all.
At the same time, Yang Qing mansion
Yang Qing has been holding a book in his hand, but the paper on it has not been turned for a long time.
Bu Er Listening to the extremely noisy sound of rain outside, he turned around to look at Yang Qing who was still sitting on Soft Couch, lost in thought. He couldn't help but worry and said, "Master, the injury on your body hasn't healed yet, and it's getting late. It's time to rest."
Hearing this, Yang Qing came back to his senses, sighed slightly and said, "What happened today was because I was reckless."
Bu Er said, "I can't blame you for this. Who told Northern Liang to act in such a hurry? The young master is doing this to prevent long nights and dreams, so he acted preemptively. Your Majesty knows it very well, so how can he blame you?"
Yang Qing slowly shook his head. "Since ancient times, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the emperor's heart is even more unpredictable."
Having said this, Yang Qing turned his attention to Bu Er and said, "If I fail to come back in time after tomorrow morning's court meeting, you and Young Master Jiang will discuss it and the matter cannot be stopped. It must be completed."
Bu Er said in a cold voice, "Master, how many times have you gone through life and death over this matter? It's fine that the emperor is not considerate. Does he still want to question you about your guilt because of this?"
Yang Qing glared at him. "Presumptuous! How can such words come out of your mouth?"
"You can actually do the following things?"
Bu Er realized that he had made a mistake, and immediately knelt down in front of Yang Qing: "Bu Er knows that he was wrong, please punish me, Master!"
"Bu Er, now we are in Imperial City, at the feet of the Emperor, when did you learn to be so impatient? Being impatient is a taboo for military strategists!"
"Don't say any more stupid words, or you will waste your life."
"The young master has taught you a lesson!" Bu Er lowered his head and did not dare to say more.
"Although our current situation is indeed very bad, the more times this happens, the more calm we must be."
"Stay unchanged and adapt to the ever-changing situation, go down on your own and learn your own rules!"
Bu Er echoed, "Yes!"
After that, he went down.
Yang Qing looked at his leaving back, a trace of unbearable feeling flashed in his heart, but he had no way to stop him.
He just turned around silently, continued to return to his Soft Couch, picked up the book again, and then started reading again.
That night, Yang Qing The light in the house stayed on until dawn
The next day, Imperial Study
Yang Qing entered the palace early in the morning, but he could not wait until the court.
Because as early as when he first entered the palace, the number one Guards Suotu around the emperor invited him to Imperial Study.
At this time, Imperial Study was empty, with only Yang Qing standing there.
Thinking about his guesses yesterday, Yang Qing couldn't help but smile: His luck was indeed not bad. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain yesterday, I'm afraid he would have been summoned to the palace in a hurry last night.
As for whatever it was, he knew it even if he didn't want to.
Yang Qing stood alone in Imperial Study for a long time. No one came to pay attention to him, and no one came in.
Yang Qing didn't take these things to heart. He just wanted to know when Chu Jinghui would come out to see him.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard an announcement coming from outside. "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here!"
Yang Qing immediately adjusted his clothes and knelt down facing the door.
Chu Jinghui came slowly, but as if he didn't see Yang Qing, he walked straight past him, sat down on the chair above, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Yang Qing knelt on the ground and turned his body around, still facing Chu Jinghui.
The injury on his back was actually not completely healed. As he was kneeling like this, a layer of cold sweat soon began to form behind him, soaking the clothes on his back.
At this moment, Chu Jinghui spoke.
"Yang Chengming, I never thought you were so smart!"
Yang Qing straightened his figure and said immediately, "I don't dare."
Chu Jinghui's hand hit the armrest of the chair hard. "Don't you dare? Is there anything in this world that you Yang Chengming dare not do?"
"Even I have become a pawn in your hands, what else do you dare not do?"
As soon as Chu Jinghui said this, even Eunuch Zhang and Suotu knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me."
Yang Qing's voice did not change much, but his body leaned even lower.
