Chapter 1130: Disaster Speaks From the Mouth

this palace fears that there may still be his accomplices within the ministry."Li Chen said meaningfully, "There are also some adjustments that need to be made to the positions in the Ministry of War...Chapter 1130: Trouble From Words

“What you should do most is not stay where you are.”

Xu Changqing turned his head and glanced at Xu Junlou, saying: "What you should do most is to do what His Highness hopes you will do."

Xu Junlou was stunned.

Xu Changqing walked forward with his hands behind his back and said, "I'm just worried, but since things have come to this, don't burden yourselves with any thoughts. Just follow the prince's arrangements. As Miss Wan said, you and I are loyal servants to the king, how could the prince treat us unfairly"

Xu Junlou pursed his lips and remained silent, following Xu Changqing toward home.

All he could think about was the image of Wan Jiaojiao smiling gracefully in the lamplight, replaying it over and over in his mind.

Xu Changqing turned his head and glanced at Xu Junlou, saying, "Just tell me what's the matter."

Xu Junlou's words were about to leave his mouth when his face turned red first.

Xu Changqing was a man of experience, and with his sharp mind, he saw through Xu Junlou's awkwardness and smiled, saying, "Could it be that you have someone in mind"

Xu Changqing laughed heartily, ignoring Xu Junlou's embarrassed explanation. "There's nothing to be ashamed of," he said. "Men should get married when they grow up. You've achieved success and fame now, and you're at the right age. It's time for me to help you find a wife. Tell me, which girl do you like As long as you like her, your uncle can help."

Xu Changqing felt that with his current position in the East Palace and Xu Junlou's current official background, finding a daughter from an ordinary wealthy family wouldn't be a difficult matter at all.

Xu Junlou looked at her repeatedly, his voice hesitant. "I... I don't know how Miss Wan..."

As soon as Xu Junlou uttered the name "Miss Wan," Xu Changqing's face instantly stiffened.

The joyful expression gradually faded, replaced by a solemnity and gravity that Xu Junlou had never seen before.

"Uncle, what's wrong" Xu Junlou asked cautiously.

"You're crazy!"

Xú Chángqīng lowered his voice and shouted fiercely.

"That Wan girl is someone close to the prince. You dare even think about it"

Seeing Xu Changqing's serious expression, Xu Junlou quickly explained: "She is the East Palace attendant, not a concubine..."

"Confused!"

Xu Changqing let out a low growl and scolded, "You shouldn't just look at the surface when judging people and things. Yes, Wan Jiaojiao is just a maidservant in the prince's eyes, but that's only when she's in front of the crown prince. You've been the chief clerk in the Eastern Palace for quite some time now. I ask you, how do those officials who come and go from the Eastern Palace every day treat Wan Jiaojiao"

Xu Junlou pondered for a moment and said, "I'm being respectful, but I wouldn't dare to be even slightly disrespectful."

That's it!

Xu Changqing said angrily, "Wan Jiajiao can be said to be the lord's absolute confidante. Things that others cannot see, she can see; things that others cannot say, she can say; things that others cannot do, she can do."

"Her standing in his eyes may not be any lower than that of a princess."

"Dare you think of her That's like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

Xu Junlou said with a mournful face, "Uncle, I was just speaking casually..."

"Don't you understand the saying 'words can bring harm' "

Xu Changqing said angrily, "Don't even think about such things, don't even dare to think! Immediately give up this idea of yours, or else, nephew, there will be a great disaster for both our families. You could ruin us all, and don't even talk about the future!". This humble subject dares not speak presumptuously.""Haha!"Li Chen laughed heartily, stood up and said, "Zhou Ping'an, you have truly captured this palace's heart."Xu Changqing and Guan Zhiwei were...
