Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1342

As Yao Guangxiao said, if counterfeit banknotes really caused the bank's credibility to collapse, then the consequences would indeed be very serious.

Wei Wu just couldn't understand how Yao Guangxiao managed to do so much, even though he wasn't in the capital.

Even now, they've probably almost crossed the Bridge of Helplessness, yet they're still left with such a huge problem!

Wei Wu was lost in thought about Yao Guangxiao's matter, so much so that he didn't notice the change in Zhu Yuxuan's expression.

At first, her face was full of worry, even if it was just for show, because it was her husband who was going to be imprisoned.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty is also facing such a big problem, and if it is not handled properly, it may affect the fate and development of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Yuxuan quickly adjusted her mindset, considering that she was both a princess of the Ming Dynasty and the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Her identity dictated that when faced with problems, she couldn't be like an ordinary woman who only thought of relying on her husband to solve them.

Instead, she stands behind her husband as a safe haven when he is solving problems, and even helps him solve them.

So, while Wei Wu was deep in thought, Zhu Yuxuan was also pondering how he should help Wei Wu.

When the couple were both thinking at the same time, the room immediately became quiet, and you could even hear their breathing clearly.

About two or three minutes passed before Wei Wu came to his senses first. Noticing that the room was too quiet, he looked at Zhu Yuxuan.

Seeing Zhu Yuxuan looking down and frowning as if she was thinking about something, Wei Wu immediately stepped forward and put his arms around her.

"Alright, Yuxuan, I'll be fine. Your husband has encountered so many dangers along the way, and every single one of them has been handled safely."

Hearing Wei Wu's voice, Zhu Yuxuan snapped back to reality, then nestled into his arms and softly said:

"Hmm~! There's nothing in this world that my husband can't solve."

She responded to Wei Wu in a soft and gentle voice, as if she had truly come to a realization, without a trace of worry in her tone.

But in reality, Zhu Yuxuan just didn't want to put pressure on Wei Wu at this time; home is a place where people can rest peacefully.

So after responding to Wei Wu, Zhu Yuxuan spoke again:

"My lord, send someone to fetch my sisters! Let them serve you and help you rest tonight."

"No comparison!"

As soon as Zhu Yuxuan finished speaking, Wei Wu shook his head in disapproval, then gently stroked Zhu Yuxuan's head and said softly:

"We don't need anyone to serve us tonight. Just my husband and I can get some rest."

After saying that, before Zhu Yuxuan could speak, Wei Wu pulled her directly into the bedroom.

The next morning, while Wei Wu was sound asleep, he suddenly heard Zhu Yuxuan calling his name.

"Husband, husband, wake up! People from the palace are here!"

Hearing this in a daze, even though Wei Wu really wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally, he still had to open his eyes and get up.

Then, turning around, she saw that not only Zhu Yuxuan was in the room, but also three other women besides Qingxia.

After taking a deep breath and rubbing his eyes, Wei Wu finally asked the question.

"What did the messenger from the palace say?"

When Wei Wu asked the question, it was not Zhu Yuxuan who answered, but Liya.

"They say His Majesty wants to summon you to the Fengxian Hall. Judging from the tone of the palace servants, it seems that something very serious has happened."

"No matter how I asked, the palace servant wouldn't say anything. He only said that His Majesty and all the civil and military officials were waiting for you and wanted you to enter the palace as soon as possible."

Sigh! What's coming will come eventually!

After hearing Liya's response, Wei Wu sighed silently in his heart, and then immediately got out of bed.

"Alright, give me the clothes!"

As they spoke, Wei Wu got up from the bed, letting Liya and the other two maids change his clothes, and said at the same time:

"By the way, lately..."

Wei Wu originally intended to give a few instructions, saying that he would not be back for the next few days and that they did not need to wait for him.

However, he stopped halfway through his speech, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need for Liya and the others to know about these things.

So they changed the subject.

"The weather may change in the next few days, so please be careful not to get sick."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, the three women didn't find anything strange and nodded in response.

After tidying up his clothes, Wei Wu led several women to the main hall and found the palace servant who was there to deliver the emperor's orders.

"This servant pays homage to His Excellency the Duke of Zhenguo!"

"Ok!"

Looking at the unfamiliar palace servant before him, Wei Wu nodded in response, then asked:

"Wasn't it always Eunuch Wang who came to summon them in the past? Why is it someone else today?"

"Replying to the Duke of Zhenguo, Eunuch Wang is by His Majesty's side, and I am a palace servant of the Crown Prince."

"The Eastern Palace?"

Upon hearing the eunuch's self-introduction, Wei Wu raised an eyebrow, immediately realizing that the Crown Prince must have something to say to him.

So he turned to Yuxuan and the others and gave them an instruction, before turning to the palace maid and saying:

"Let's go! Let's enter the palace."

"Yes!"

Wei Wu then left the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion with the palace maid and boarded the carriage that had been waiting at the gate.

After getting into the carriage and settling in, Wei Wu finally spoke and asked:

"But His Highness the Crown Prince has a message for you to deliver to me?"

"Yes, my lord!"

The palace maid from the East Palace bowed her head in response, then continued:

"His Highness the Crown Prince said that you need not worry, as he will catch all those stinking rats as quickly as possible."

"Even if they don't catch anyone, it's alright. You won't have to wait inside for long. His Highness said he's just the Crown Prince, not the Emperor yet!"

The palace servants' voices trembled slightly as they spoke, since the Crown Prince's words touched upon the issue of the throne.

However, compared to the tension of the palace servants, Wei Wu didn't seem to feel anything. Zhu Biao could bring up the topic of the throne in front of Emperor Zhu without any problem.

What truly concerned Wei Wu was that Zhu Biao's words clearly conveyed the message that everything was already arranged.

The phrase "catch those stinking rats as quickly as possible" implies that Zhu Biao will use swift and decisive measures.

The statement "But the Crown Prince is not yet the Emperor" means that even if those people cannot be caught, Zhu Biao will step in to protect himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, and he needed to consider the overall situation and appease public opinion, but Zhu Biao was not yet in that position.

Even if he does something outrageous that upsets the civil and military officials, it won't affect his position as crown prince.

"When you get back, tell your brother that I understand."

After giving a brief response, Wei Wu remained silent.

The carriage moved slowly and soon stopped in front of the palace gate!
