Chapter 31 Emperor Qing summons!

Su Wenyi smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, you misunderstood. I meant that if I get promoted in the future, someone will need to take over these seven departments."

"Our Seventh Division is not valued in the Inspection Institute. You can still make some contributions while I am here."

"But if I leave, you won't be able to keep those achievements."

"I saw you walk step by step, and it hurt my heart."

"Deng Ziyue used to be someone who dared to point his finger at his boss and curse him, but what about now?"

"Even though I supported you, you still backed down."

"You are also a warrior, you should know better than me! If you take a step back, you will never catch up."

"For so many years, I have been letting you do things and even handing over the power to you directly, which is also a way to train you."

"Now, your chance has come. It won't be long before the position of the head of the Seventh Division of the Inspection Institute will be yours."

After Su Wenyi finished speaking, Deng Ziyue still looked dazed.

Deng Ziyue looked at Su Wenyi with confusion, he didn't understand.

Deng Ziyue looked at Su Wenyi with tears in his eyes and asked, "Sir, Ziyue doesn't understand why you treat Ziyue like this."

"My Lord and I have no relationship, and we have nothing to do except official business."

"I"

Looking at Deng Ziyue's expression, Su Wenyi couldn't help but said, "Okay, put away your expression."

"I've already told you that from now on you can start preparing to take over my position."

"From now on, you are your own supporter!"

"If someone really wants to make things difficult for you, it depends on whether he is lucky enough!"

This one sentence touched Deng Ziyue's heart directly!

Deng Ziyue couldn't help it this time. With red eyes, he said to Su Wenyi: "Please rest assured, sir!"

Su Wenyi didn't say anything more, just smiled.

The words left by our ancestors are useful: mountains will fall and people will run away, and in the end you can only rely on yourself.

Deng Ziyue has been under my control for so long that he has become a bit hard-hearted.

Under his protection, Deng Ziyue finally reached his current position.

If Deng Ziyue wanted to continue to climb up, he could only stay in his position.

Whether it is to make way for subordinates or to climb up and gain more power and opportunities.

I must have this hosting position!

Even though he knew that Chen Pingping would eventually give this hosting position to Fan Xian, it would be enough even if he could just take over the position temporarily.

All I need to do now is to seize the opportunity!
While the two were eating, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a man dressed in eunuch's clothes walked in.

It’s Eunuch Hou!
With the entry of Eunuch Hou, the entire inn fell silent.

When someone like Eunuch Hou appears, it often means that His Majesty has an order.

At this time, all the people eating in the inn looked at Eunuch Hou at the same time.

After Eunuch Hou swept his eyes through the crowd, he immediately locked onto Su Wenyi.

Eunuch Hou walked up to Su Wenyi with a smile and said to him, "Sir Su, His Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace!"

"Please, Lord Su, come with me."

Su Wenyi frowned secretly after hearing this, but still stood up and left with Eunuch Hou.

Deng Ziyue watched Su Wenyi leave with Eunuch Hou, his eyes full of shock.

"Your Majesty summons you? Lord Su wants to give up his position to me?"

"Could it be that Lord Su is going to be promoted?"

After thinking about this, Deng Ziyue ran all the way back to the seventh place.

Inside the palace

Su Wenyi was brought to the palace by Eunuch Hou. As soon as the news came out, the eldest princess, the crown prince and the second prince knew about it. The first place they went to was Guangxin Palace.

Li Yunrui and the prince sat opposite each other. Li Yunrui lowered his head and focused on the stone mortar in his hand.

The prince just sat there quietly, looking at Li Yunrui from time to time.

After a while, a maid came out from the side.

The maid said to Li Yunrui, "Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned Su Wenyi, the head of the Seventh Division of the Inspection Bureau, to the palace."

Hearing this, Li Yunrui suddenly stopped what he was doing.

Li Yunrui turned around and asked the maid, "Who are you talking about?"

The maid repeated, "Su Wenyi, the chief of the Seventh Division of the Inspection Bureau!"

After hearing this, the prince also asked, "Why did your majesty summon this person?"

"Seventh Division, isn't that the one in charge of the prison? To put it bluntly, it's the one who does the dirty work."

"Why would the emperor take the initiative to summon such a person into the palace?"

Li Yunrui listened to the prince's words and said with a cold expression: "Doing dirty work? Do you know that it is the one you are talking about doing dirty work?"

"It frightened Xihu so much that he dared not move eastward for so many years!"

"This is all thanks to Su Wenyi and Fei Jie."

"What these two hold in their hands is a weapon that can easily destroy a city!"

"Even if you can't recruit this kind of person, don't even think about killing him."

"Otherwise, if you really push them into a corner, they will just kill you and you will be left with nothing."

The prince fell silent after hearing this. Seeing that the prince was so honest, Li Yunrui also calmed down.

But although he didn't say it, Li Yunrui was still very confused.

Why did His Majesty bring Su Wenyi into the palace at this time? Did he know about that incident?

No, it's impossible. If His Majesty really knew, he would have taken action against me long ago.

And according to Su Wenyi's character, he would never leak the news.

Otherwise, Su Wenyi’s time in the Inspection Institute would have been in vain for so many years!

That being said, this time, things are really hard to understand.

Just as Li Yunrui was deep in thought, in the mansion of the Second Prince Li Chengze.

Xie Bian stood in front of Li Chengze holding a sword and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty summoned Su Wenyi into the palace at this time."

"I'm afraid it's not a good thing!"

"Should we take action?"

Li Chengze paced on the spot while biting his fingernails.

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."

"Give the order. I am not interested in the conversation between Su Wenyi and my father."

"We cannot get involved in this matter."

“Even if you really want to participate, you must first ensure your own safety.”

After Li Chengze finished speaking, Xie Bian turned around and left with his sword.

After Xie Bian left, Li Chengze's eyes were full of confusion.

Su Wenyi, what exactly do you want to do?
At this moment, in the palace, Su Wenyi followed behind Eunuch Hou.

Arriving in front of a palace, the eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, Su Wenyi has arrived!"

Emperor Qing, who was lying on the bed, slowly sat up, stared at Su Wenyi and said, "Are you here? Come, sit down and talk."

Su Wenyi glanced at the small stool on the ground and said without thinking: "I dare not, it is more comfortable to stand."

"Your Majesty, may I ask what is the important matter that has summoned me here?"
