"Your humble servant...takes his leave." Although Yu Xin and Gu Pu were ultimately defeated by Zhu Yunhuan, a well-known scoundrel, both of them had a thoughtful look on their faces when they lowered their heads.

at the same time.

Feel the extremely oppressive power in the hall.

In addition, having witnessed with his own eyes the little emperor's willful and arrogant behavior, Xia Yuanji did not dare to say anything more even though he felt fear, gratitude, and did not want His Majesty to be criticized for this... and many other complicated situations. Who knew if he would really be charged with disobeying the emperor's order?

At that moment, he had no choice but to stand up and bow, saying: "Student, take your leave..."

Although he accepted this huge jackpot, Xia Yuanji was extremely nervous - it was certainly a step to heaven for him, but he couldn't help but feel anxious about such a huge leap.

The freshness and simplicity just now are just a microcosm.

What about the other, more powerful officials in the court? And what about the soon-to-be-his-director, the Minister of Revenue, Master Fu? ... Xia Yuanji was not one to get carried away. He knew that each of these incidents was a potential source of trouble and something he would soon face.

Lin Chengxuan also said: "I will take my leave."

The four of them left one after another, each with their own thoughts.

Ma Sanbao also walked out from behind Zhu Yunhuan, extended his hand toward the main hall entrance, and said with a polite smile, "My lords, this is a great fortune! I would like to congratulate you all first! Please come in."

Even though they were filled with concerns, none of them dared to cross paths with Ma Sanbao, a popular figure. Yu Xin forced a smile and politely nodded in response, "You're too kind, eunuch. No matter what position or status one holds, the most important thing is to do one's best for the Ming Dynasty and be loyal to His Majesty."

The others also nodded humbly in greeting.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Ma Sanbao, he left the main hall of the Qianqing Palace with a heavy heart.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened. The sky was clear, there was no wind and no moon, the stars were hanging in the sky, and the palace lanterns outside had been lit.

In the dark night, the orange candlelight flickered slightly.

Yu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up at the stars in the sky, and then with his eyes slightly narrowed, he retracted his gaze, let out a long breath, looked at Ma Sanbao beside him and said, "Eunuch, please stay. The Ministry of Revenue is very busy with official business these days. I have to go ahead and take care of some things in the official office of the Ministry of Revenue. I will take my leave now."

Gu Pu glanced at Yu Xin, then thought for a moment and came up with a reasonable explanation. He said politely, "I'm afraid that soon the imperial decree regarding promotions and transfers will be officially passed down. Now that it's the beginning of the month, I will go to the Ministry of Revenue with Lord Yu to hand over some accounting matters from the Ministry of War."

Ma Sanbao shook his whisk and nodded, saying, "Then the two adults, please be careful along the way."

The two nodded and said, "Goodbye."

Then they left the Qianqing Palace together.

Xia Yuanji and Lin Chengxuan were even more afraid to be so arrogant as to ask Ma Sanbao, the most powerful eunuch in the palace, to send two commoners to them. They also declined immediately, saying, "I will also take my leave and leave the palace. Please stay, eunuch."

Ma Sanbao also followed suit and nodded slightly.

Although he was a polite and good-tempered person, he did not have to personally see everyone off. If there were people who were worthy of his insistence on seeing off, it would have been because of Zhu Yunhuan's special instructions. Just like when he personally saw off the Minister of Works Qin Kui in front of all the ministers with great fanfare and in a high-profile manner before, it was all for the purpose of better controlling, restraining and limiting this high-ranking official with increasing power.

"Go, you two, escort Mr. Xia and Mr. Lin out of the palace safely for us. Don't make any mistakes." Ma Sanbao called a trusted young eunuch to escort the two out of the palace and gave them instructions.

Afterward, Xia Yuanji and Lin Chengxuan were led away by Ma Sanbao's eunuchs. Watching them disappear into the night, Ma Sanbao's expression suddenly grew more serious. He raised an eyebrow and whispered to another eunuch beside him, "Go and tell Lord Zhao, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, about our message."
