Chapter 440 Qin Huai Enters the Palace
When the Duke of Yong suddenly received the imperial edict, he was completely stunned.

Although the emperor was his son-in-law, he still did not have the courage to defy the imperial decree.

The imperial edict stated that Qin Huai should also be brought along.

"Eunuch Xi, has the Emperor said why Huai'er should be brought along?" The Duchess smiled and took the brocade pouch from the maid, then quietly slipped it into the arms of the messenger.

Grandpa Xi did not answer.

He simply tucked his hands into his sleeves and said, "Lord Duke, please take the young master with you quickly. The Emperor is currently feeling unwell and may not have the energy to wait."

This is already a hint.

Everyone says that the Duke of Yong is a favorite of the emperor, because one of his daughters is the current empress.

To this day, no one knows exactly how many daughters the Duke of Yong had.

The empress was one, and I heard there were two others who stayed at the border. I don't know if they married border generals or went to other countries.

In Wanning City, there was another woman who married a marquis, and another who was said to be the confidante of the carefree prince.

The Duke of Yongguo was a womanizer in his youth, and it is said that he had two concubines and one mistress.

The mansion housed many young ladies and cousins, and every now and then a few would leave and a few would arrive. Even the servants of the Duke of Yongguo couldn't keep track of where they came from.

The entire household disliked associating with nobles, and their children were never seen being taken out for a stroll.

No one knows exactly how many children he has.

"Since it's the imperial family that has invited you, don't dawdle, hurry up and go." The Duchess was also uneasy, but she could only force a smile and said to the maid, "Has the young master finished washing up? Don't be late for the time to enter the palace."

It takes about half an hour by carriage to get from the Duke's mansion to the palace. The Duke and Qin Huai sat facing each other.

He glanced at his grandson across from him every now and then.

The child, who was previously predicted by the miracle doctor to not live past the age of 8, now looks peaceful and healthy.

Where can one find signs of premature death?

"Why aren't you pretending to be weak anymore?" Duke Yong couldn't stand Qin Huai's grown-up expression, so he teased him.

Qin Huai frowned: "I have not been impersonating anyone, I do not know what Grandfather means."

Duke Yong snorted, "Everyone in this manor is my man. Who do you think you can fool?" "Hmm." Qin Huai glanced at Duke Yong and replied gently, "Huai will move out as soon as possible."

That way, they can be fooled.

Duke Yongguo was immediately speechless.

That brat, is that how you talk back?

"Don't you want to know why the imperial family wants to summon you to the palace?"

Qin Huai was raised in the Yongguo Duke's mansion for eight years, so he spent two or three of those years on the battlefield and one year on the road, but he was ultimately raised by the Yongguo Duke.

During this time, the Tian family never thought of Qin Huai.

They probably don't even know this person exists.

The fact that he was suddenly summoned to the palace today raises many questions about its deeper meaning.

"Huai doesn't know." Qin Huai was unmoved by reason.

Duke Yong softened his tone and earnestly advised him: "Don't argue with me now. You'd better explain clearly what has happened recently that has attracted the attention of the imperial family. While there is still some time, let's come up with a solution so that we don't panic later."

This child was more stubborn than his mother, and naturally more stubborn than the Duke of Yongguo.

Duke Yong suspected that his own stubborn nature had been amplified and passed on to Qin Huai.

No, that's not right either. The child's grandfather was an even more paranoid person.

Is it a combination of the worst traits from both companies?

Thinking of this, Duke Yongguo gasped.

That would be terrible.

Just then, Eunuch Xi's voice came from outside: "Duke Yong, young master, please dismount. The imperial carriage that the Emperor specially brought you to the palace has arrived."

The imperial carriage used exclusively by the emperor?
Duke Yong felt his teeth were aching.
