Chapter 400 - 400 Young Master Ji Yunxi (2)

400 Young Master Ji Yunxi (2)
If there was a crown prince, the crown prince would naturally be the most suitable, but there wasn’t one.
The ministers tried their best to fight for this opportunity for the prince they thought highly of. It was as if whoever took this job would be one step closer to the position of the Eastern Palace.
All these miscellaneous matters were thrown out. By the time the court session was over, it was already late.
Emperor Chong’an came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a dark expression. He was about to return to Yangxin Hall to rest for a moment when Eunuch Li, who was waiting outside, leaned over. “Your Majesty, Young Master Song has been waiting since dawn.”
He had already waited for six hours. If this continued, wouldn’t someone die?!!
Emperor Chong’an paused. Only then did he remember that he had summoned Song Jingchen to the palace today. Looking at Eunuch Li’s expression, what else didn’t he understand?
This old fellow had misinterpreted his meaning and asked him to wait outside the hall.
No matter how much he wanted Song Jingchen to die, he wouldn’t attack when he was summoned back to the capital because he had contributed to saving Xunyang City.
Wasn’t this telling the world that he couldn’t tolerate anyone who contributed? Who would dare to work for him in the future?
Getting someone to stand outside the hall for a few hours was not beneficial to him, but it would cause gossip.
Emperor Chong’an’s face darkened even more. He pointed at Eunuch Li. “What… what should I say about you?”
Should he say that Eunuch Li had done something wrong? But what did he do wrong? Usually, if the ministers summoned to the palace encountered Emperor Chong’an and were temporarily busy, they would indeed arrange for them to wait outside the imperial study.
He couldn’t blame Eunuch Li for being bad at guessing his intentions, right? If he really guessed everything the emperor was thinking, Eunuch Li wouldn’t be far from losing his head.
Therefore, there was only one word to pay attention to.
Emperor Chong’an could only get the guard of honor to turn around and head towards the imperial study.
Halfway there, a young eunuch ran over in a panic and knelt in front of the honor guard. “Your Majesty, Young Master Song has fainted.”
Emperor Chong’an’s forehead throbbed. If this matter spread, he could almost foresee how the commoners would discuss this tomorrow.
They would say that he was narrow-minded, or that he summoned Song Jingchen back to kill him. They would think that he would burn the bridge after crossing it.
Even if these were indeed what he wanted to do, he could not let others think so.
He still wanted to be praised after his death. Even if he couldn’t be like the late emperor, he didn’t want to be remembered as a fatuous emperor.
Emperor Chong’an quickly got someone to call the imperial physicians. When they arrived, Song Jingchen was still lying unconscious in the side hall.
Speaking of which, Song Jingchen fainted as soon as he heard the news. As if he had calculated the time, the eunuchs guarding outside the imperial study were dumbfounded.
Fortunately, his health was not bad. It was just a heatstroke. The imperial physician finally woke him up with acupuncture and medicine.
Emperor Chong’an was exhausted from the day. He sat in the imperial study and drank two cups of tea in a row. He never thought that he would be worried that Song Jingchen would die in front of him one day.
When Song Jingchen recovered and was helped into the imperial study with a weak expression, Emperor Chong’an no longer had the intention to make things difficult for him. After everyone greeted him, he asked Eunuch Li to bring over a chair for him to sit down and talk.
Song Jingchen didn’t stand up and only said that he didn’t dare.
Emperor Chong’an thought to himself, “No one will believe me if I say that he refused my kindness, right?”
He waved his hand in frustration and dismissed the people in the hall, leaving Song Jingchen alone to speak.
Eunuch Li wiped his sweat and followed Eunuch Deng out of the imperial study. There were shadow guards protecting Emperor Chong’an at all times. They weren’t worried that Song Jingchen would be stupid enough to kill the emperor in the imperial study.
“Eunuch Li, are you alright?” Eunuch Deng asked with a smile.
Eunuch Li glanced at him. “There’s no need to worry, Eunuch Deng. On the other hand, Eunuch Deng, do you have enough money? If not, don’t hold back. We’ve known each other for so many years. Do you think I’ll let you write an IOU?”
Eunuch Deng choked. He couldn’t get over the joke of writing an IOU, right?
The two of them had been at odds ever since Emperor Chong’an was still a prince. The surrounding servants were already used to it, and Emperor Chong’an was even happier to see this happen.
They wanted to suppress each other.
This way, they would monitor each other. If one of them had any ill intentions, he might not know, but the other would definitely notice. Otherwise, why would it be said that the person who understood you the most was not a friend, but an enemy?
They were targeting each other. Once they had something on each other, they would naturally tell him.
Therefore, Emperor Chong’an was relieved by their relationship.
An hour later, the door to the imperial study opened from the inside, and the two of them shut up.
