The imperial study is filled with rare books that are hard to find in the world, but the most important ones are the dragon table and the dragon chair, which give the entire imperial study a sense of majesty.
Emperor Shang sat directly on the dragon throne, and his personal eunuch, Eunuch Xu, stood beside him with a dustpan and waited on him. Shang Wuxin sat on the first seat without any greeting or any respectful behavior, his attitude was arrogant but it was as it should be.
Eunuch Xu was a little surprised to see the prince who seemed to be a different person, and was even more surprised by the emperor's attitude. However, he was just a servant, a servant of the emperor, so he lowered his head for fear of seeing or hearing something he shouldn't see or hear. However, he stood there for a long time without hearing any sound. In the past, the emperor would scold the prince, and the prince would resist and talk back, and then the father and son would part ways unhappily, and the next day, the news would spread in the palace that the prince had angered the emperor, but now, it seems to be different...
Shang Wuxin looked at the Shang Emperor who was looking at him and saw a flash of warmth in the deepest part of his eyes, but the warmth was so shallow that even someone like Shang Emperor didn't notice it.
"You don't even know how to salute me. Who gave you the courage?" Emperor Shang spoke first, but his words started with a scolding. Unfortunately, Shang Wuxin did not look at Emperor Shang with the same sadness as before, nor did she say anything to defend him. She knew that looking at Emperor Shang, she saw that he was uneasy.
Shang Wuxin watched as Emperor Shang, who seemed very angry, stood up without any warning, which scared Emperor Shang and Eunuch Xu. Eunuch Xu even stood in front of Emperor Shang, fearing that the unfathomable prince would do something to harm the emperor. On the other hand, Emperor Shang did not change at all.
However, Shang Wuxin left the imperial study without even looking at Emperor Shang. The purpose of her coming here today had been achieved. Even though some things were still unclear, she had a general idea in her mind. As for her father, the emperor, Shang Wuxin just smiled and said nothing.
"Prince!" Wuwei felt relieved when she saw the prince walking out of the imperial study safely. If the prince was punished by the emperor, she would be of no help at all and would be a burden instead. Thinking of this, Wuwei made up her mind to improve her martial arts as quickly as possible and become the prince's right-hand man.
Shang Wuxin glanced at Wuwei and found that he was not bullied, so he walked out of the imperial study without stopping. No one dared to offend the many guards now. The emperor did not say anything when the prince dared to bring a maid, and he did not punish the prince even though he did not salute. Moreover, a maid beside the prince was so powerful, many people suspected that the former prince was hiding his talents under a low profile. In other words, from today on, many people in the palace began to be wary of the prince whom they once despised the most.
"Eunuch Xu, tell me, did I do something wrong?" Emperor Shang looked at the closed golden door of the imperial study and felt distressed, but he could only say this to his personal eunuch. Once he walked out of the door of the imperial study, he could not say or express anything.
"How could your majesty be wrong?" Eunuch Xu said seriously. He knew why your majesty did so much. I hope...
Emperor Shang smiled. Even if he did something wrong, no one would dare to say anything. Thinking about the prince's performance just now, Emperor Shang suddenly made up his mind.
When Shang Wuxin and Wuwei walked out of the palace and got on the carriage to return to the Prince's Mansion, their carriage was stopped by someone. Wuwei, who was driving outside, looked at the people who were blocking the way with cold eyes, and the leader was the eldest prince Shang Chenzhao.
Wuwei lowered his head to prevent his emotions from revealing themselves, but he didn't know that Shang Wuxin in the carriage had already sensed Wuwei's emotions.
"What's the matter?" Shang Wuxin slightly lifted the curtain of the carriage and called out to the eldest prince Shang Chen outside. She was so elegant that she did not look depressed at all even when sitting in a not-so-luxurious carriage. Instead, her radiance made this ordinary carriage look noble.
