Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1405

By the time he returned to the capital, almost a month had passed, and he had forgotten to tell Zhu Yuxuan about it.

Seeing the bitter smile on Zhu Yuxuan's face, Empress Ma could only shake her head helplessly and sigh, saying:

"Now that things have already happened, and news of your actions today has probably spread, you should stay in Kunning Palace for the next few days!"

"I'll send someone to your residence later to inform them so they don't need to worry about you. I just hope everything you've done is truly effective!"

Now that Zhu Yuxuan has already taken the plunge, Empress Ma will naturally do her best to cooperate and fulfill Zhu Yuxuan's wishes.

As for whether Zhu Yuxuan's actions were effective, Empress Ma was actually optimistic and thought they would be useful.

It must be said that Empress Ma's guess was quite accurate; indeed, what Zhu Yuxuan did had already had an effect.

As early as when Zhu Yuxuan knelt in the Fengxian Hall in the pouring rain to plead for Wei Wu, this matter had already been noticed by those who cared.

By the time Zhu Yuxuan and Empress Ma were brought to Kunning Palace, the news had already quietly spread outside the palace.

The capital city, located under the emperor's nose, should be bustling with activity, but today's heavy rain has made the streets rather deserted.

There were hardly any people on the streets, except for the occasional figure carrying an umbrella or wearing a raincoat.

Among them was a person whose face was obscured by a raincoat, who walked quickly through the rain and eventually slipped into the Ministry of Revenue.

After entering the government office, the man quickened his pace, but because it was raining, it didn't seem out of place.

After walking through the government office for a while, he finally came to the door of a house, but instead of knocking, he pushed the door open and went inside.

The person sitting in this room was the fellow who exuded the air of a scholar.

Upon seeing the person who pushed open the door, he frowned slightly and said with some displeasure:

“We are just colleagues, not close friends. I should have scolded you and kicked you out for barging in.”

Hearing the dissatisfaction in his tone, the man did not refute, but simply responded with a single sentence.

"Just received news that Princess Weiyang has entered the palace and, braving the heavy rain, knelt outside the Fengxian Hall to plead for Wei Wu's life!"

Upon hearing this, the scholarly-looking fellow raised his eyebrows, then slowly stood up and walked to the person in front of him.

But instead of saying anything, he raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face.

At first, the person who was hit was a little dazed, but the burning pain on his cheek brought him back to his senses.

While glaring at the other party, he also raised his arm, clearly intending to retaliate in kind.

However, before he could make a move, the scholar-like man simply walked past him and strode to the door of the room.

After closing the door tightly, he turned to look at the person and said coldly:

"Do you know why I scolded you? If you make such a stupid mistake again, it won't just be a scolding."

After saying this, the person in the room realized that he had made such a stupid mistake, and felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Fortunately, the scholarly-looking person did not pursue the matter further, but instead got straight to the point.

"Tell me in detail what happened after Princess Weiyang's incident!"

Since he himself had made a grave mistake, the man in the straw raincoat was no longer angry.

He directly stated the information he had received, and the scholar-like man immediately fell into deep thought after listening.

He nodded, frowned, and muttered to himself:

"Something's not right, something's very wrong!"

Upon hearing this, the man in the straw raincoat turned around and asked with a hint of doubt in his voice:

"What's wrong? Princess Weiyang and Wei Wu are a loving couple, and the whole capital knows that. Isn't it normal for them to do something like this?"
