"My dear ministers, do you still think Ren Hao is guilty?" Wen Yan asked as he glanced at his subordinates.

Zhao Ping'an immediately gave a look to the disciple next to him, who quickly stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, although Zuihualou is a property jointly owned by Your Majesty and Ren Hao, we cannot ignore the fact that Ren Hao used the imperial edict in a fraudulent manner."

Wen Yan frowned immediately, thinking that this minister was just trying to make trouble by bringing up irrelevant issues.

"My dear, since I own half of the property, Ren Hao is not considered to have used the imperial edict for no reason."

"Let's end this matter here. Don't discuss it anymore." Wen Yan stood up after saying this, not giving Zhao Ping'an and the others a chance to discuss it.

Seeing that the emperor was biased towards Ren Hao, Zhao Ping'an had no choice but to give up.

However, before he left, he still glanced at Ren Hao once more. Ren Hao's performance in the battle of wits just now made him worried.

If this person enters the court in the future, he will definitely replace me.

Ren Hao looked at Zhao Ping'an who was looking at him, and said, "Prime Minister Zhao, I see that you look dark and your voice is weak. This is probably caused by insufficient Yang Qi. I happen to have some kidney treasures in my house. Do you need them?"

"Hmph, keep it for yourself." Zhao Ping'an angrily waved his sleeves and left.

Not only did he not ask His Majesty to execute Ren Hao today, but he also gave Ren Hao a chance to perform because of a stupid student under his tutelage.

This is such a shame!!!

Just as Ren Hao was about to leave triumphantly, the old eunuch walked over quickly and stopped him, saying, "Please stay. His Majesty invites you to the Tianlu Pavilion for a chat."

"This is really troublesome." Ren Hao muttered to himself, and still followed the old eunuch to Tianlu Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, Ren Hao has arrived." The old eunuch shouted through the door.

"Let him in." The emperor announced through the door.

"Please come in." The old eunuch pushed open the door and extended his hand to the inside, inviting someone in.

Ren Hao walked into the pavilion carelessly, and the old eunuch immediately closed the door.

Wen Yan, who was sitting in front of the imperial desk, immediately put down the book and said, "Ren Hao, do you admit your guilt?"

"What crime have I committed?" Ren Hao asked as he knelt on the ground.

"How dare you not report to me and privately use the imperial edict to say that it is my property!!!" Wen Yan said coldly.

"Your Majesty, I had no choice but to do it at that time. For the sake of your Majesty's reputation, I had to forge an imperial edict." Ren Hao explained with a cold sweat.

It is true that serving the king is like serving a tiger.

When he was in the Linding Hall, the emperor still favored himself.

But how long has it been since then? He is playing the villain in private again.

"What do you mean?" Wen Yan asked expressionlessly.

"At that time, Prime Minister Zhao's men not only confiscated all the rouge and soft goods in Zuihualou and closed it, they also wanted to put those girls in prison for the soldiers to enjoy."

"If I hadn't stopped it at that time, I'm afraid that after this matter spread, the people in the capital would have scolded Your Majesty as a useless and incompetent monarch." Ren Hao continued cautiously.

"These bastards... Ugh!!!" Wen Yan slammed the table in anger, but before she could even say the word "egg", she couldn't help but spit it out.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Ren Hao was about to step forward with concern, but was stopped by Wen Yan, "I... I'm fine, I was just angry for a moment."

Seeing this, Ren Hao could only speak in an official language: "Your Majesty is very busy with government affairs, please take care of your health."

"Yeah." Wen Yan nodded, cursing Ren Hao in her heart. Aren't you the culprit who caused all this?

Just now, for a moment, Wen Yan really wanted to take off the mask and reveal her true face, wanting to let Ren Hao know the truth.

But in the end, she calmed down and overcame her impulse.

"Ren Hao, I will not pursue the matter of you forging an imperial edict this time."

"But next time..." Wen Yan hadn't finished her warning when her throat became moist and she vomited again.

"Your Majesty, are you really okay?" Ren Hao was about to step forward worriedly.

Wen Yan waved his hand and cursed: "Get out of here."

"It's true that people from the same family resemble each other. He and Wen Yan have the same bad temper." Ren Hao curled his lips secretly and left Tianlu Pavilion without even saying goodbye.

……

At this time, the Ren Mansion on the other side was in an uproar.

Ever since Ren Hao entered the palace and has not returned yet, everyone, from the two ladies and other female relatives to the retainers and servants, is worried about Ren Hao.

Especially when Su Wan'er learned from Zhang Kuai that Ren Hao was taken away, she was so anxious that she burst into tears.

"Sister Wan'er, don't cry. I believe your husband will be able to get out of danger." Xu Yating calmly comforted Su Wan'er, but in fact she was more anxious.

However, Ren Hao’s life or death is uncertain now, and Su Wan’er is already confused. If she continues to be confused, the Ren family will lose its backbone and will become a mess.

Now she must calm down.

Seeing Su Wan'er crying so anxiously and sadly, Zhang Kuai picked up the axe next to him and said, "Don't cry, Madam. I will rush into the palace now to rescue the master. If the master has been executed by that dog emperor, Zhang Kuai will kill the dog emperor and bury him with the master even if I have to fight to the death!!!"

"Second brother, Wu Chu, if you still remember the master's friendship, follow me and charge into the palace!!!" Zhang Kuai looked at Chen Fei and Wu Chu and instigated.

Wu Chu's forehead was hot, and he picked up the two hammers on the ground and said, "The master has treated me well. If the master is to be executed by that dog emperor today, Chu will repay the master's kindness with his own death."

At this time, Zhang Kuai and Wu Chu both looked at Chen Fei who was silent.

Chen Fei grabbed the spear without saying a word, and used practical actions to tell the two of them that he was not a coward.

Liu Min originally wanted to join in, although he was just a gentleman, Ren Hao treated him well on weekdays, and two of the three brothers were already gone, so how could he live in disgrace at this time.

"Brother, you should stay in the mansion. If my third brother and I want our brother Wu Chu to die in the palace, please help us clean up the mess." Chen Fei hurriedly stopped Liu Min.

After all, Mr. Liu Min is only a private person. If he followed them into the palace, wouldn't he be deliberately asking for his death?

Seeing that several people were trying to break into the palace, Xu Yating immediately shouted coldly: "Do you think the palace guards are a bunch of idiots? Stop making trouble and put down your weapons!!!"

"Madam Xu, the master treats us very well on a normal day. If we just sit there and wait for death when the master is in trouble, how will the guests in the world laugh at us in the future?" Chen Fei said respectfully to Xu Yating, and Wu Chu and Zhang Kuai nodded repeatedly.

Even Zhang Tong, who had just become a disciple, stood up at this time.

"The master has been very kind to me. Although I am not as capable as you, I have lived in the palace since I was young and am familiar with some places in the palace."

"Brothers, please take me with you." Zhang Tong clasped his fists towards everyone.
