And Xu Huizu's fearful voice was heard again from outside the carriage: "Your humble servant Xu Huizu, please punish me, Your Majesty!" How arrogant he was just now, how embarrassed he was now.

Xu Huizu couldn't help but secretly groan inwardly, "What's going on with this meal? Who could have guessed that His Majesty would have the leisure to do something like this?"

"Your Majesty, please punish us!" The thirty burly and strong men who followed him could only apologize in unison.

Zhu Yunhuan certainly would not start a war with the lineage of Xu Da, King of Zhongshan, because of a so-called misunderstanding. Moreover, although Xu Huizu was a little impulsive, he was a man of integrity and loyalty. In history, even when his own brother-in-law (Zhu Di, King of Yan) rebelled, he resolutely refused to join in the rebellion and only stood on the side of Zhu Yunwen, who was the orthodox. Such a person would certainly be better off being loyal.

Zhu Yunhuan only chuckled and said, "Haha, little girl, you're always talkative. I've forgotten about Duke Wei for a moment. Although you did bump into my carriage and spoke rudely, I just said that ignorance is not a crime. You didn't know I was in this carriage before, and you didn't mean to offend me."

"All of you, please stand up. For the so-called 'crime of disrespect and disobedience,' I will take it as a pardon for your meritorious service to the Ming Dynasty and to me."

Zhu Yunhuan neither blamed anyone nor said directly that the matter was completely irrelevant. He just said that the crime would be put aside for the time being - which not only showed his magnanimity and tolerance, but also invisibly put psychological pressure on Xu Huizu and the grace of not blaming him, which would naturally make him more loyal in the future.

If you don't use the CPU opportunity that's right at your doorstep, it would be a waste, right?

Xu Huizu's face truly showed an expression of surviving a disaster, filled with joy. He bowed his head to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you so much for not punishing me! Serving the Ming Dynasty and Your Majesty is my duty!"

His voice sounded particularly excited and sincere.

Having achieved his goal, Zhu Yunhuan's lips curled up slightly as he said slowly, "I previously sent Sanbao to your residence to summon you for this very matter. Now that you know what's going on, now that this matter is settled, you can take your men and return to your residence. As for the third young lady from your Duke's Mansion, I still need to lend her a hand."

Xu Huizu immediately responded, "Your Majesty, I will obey your command!"

"Zhao Feng." After dealing with Xu Huizu's affairs, Zhu Yunhuan urged again.

Zhao Feng politely clasped his fists and bowed to Xu Huizu, nodded in greeting, then jumped back into the carriage and continued driving forward.

The crowd that had originally surrounded the place in three layers inside and outside consciously made way.

The sound of horse hooves and the sound of wheels rolling on the ground gradually faded away. Xu Huizu was like a bowstring that had been taut for a long time and suddenly loosened, and he stumbled again.

After standing firm, he breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of fear.

He muttered absentmindedly, "I just now actually... stopped His Majesty's carriage... and even treated His Majesty so disrespectfully..."

After calming down a little.

He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "What on earth did that damn girl Xu Miaojin do out there? If it weren't for this damn girl, would I have committed such a disrespectful crime? This damn girl really screwed me over!"

The attendant next to him showed a meaningful expression.

She reminded him, "But Master... the Third Miss is privately dating His Majesty, and His Majesty even brought the Third Miss into the palace alone. So many girls submitted their birth dates to the palace, but His Majesty simply shelved the matter of selecting a concubine and never mentioned it again. He never publicly named anyone, and he never even mentioned any girl from any family..."

"Although today's events were thrilling, fortunately, His Majesty was magnanimous and did not blame the Duke. Now it seems... this should be considered a happy event!"

I heard what the people below said.

Xu Huizu took a deep breath, his eyes brightening as he said, "Yes, this damn girl gave me a big rip, but I never expected that she would actually come out on top and forge such a close relationship with Your Majesty..."

At this time, Xu Huizu had finally recovered. The panic in his heart slowly subsided, and was replaced by surprise.

The attendant beside him responded, "Although His Majesty and the Third Miss did not show up just now, I heard their voices and what they said inside..."

"I guess this friendship isn't shallow at all."

"Your Majesty is taking the third lady back to the palace alone this time, perhaps..." Having said this, he stopped at the right time. After all, if he continued, it would involve the part of presumptuous speculation on the emperor's intentions, which would be inappropriate to say out loud.

But there was no need for him to explain such things.

Xu Huizu understood the situation himself, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face. "Hahahaha! That's about it! Let's go. As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. Let's go back to the mansion first. Who knows, maybe we'll get some good news!"

Now that he had recovered from his shock, Xu Huizu was indescribably happy.

Although she inherited the title of Duke of Wei and was considered a distinguished family, she still lacked the prestige of the older generation of generals. Having inherited the position, he naturally wanted to continue his father's legacy—it would be ideal if his family could produce a queen.

Of course, even though he was upright, he didn't dare to talk about this matter openly.

He took a deep breath, jumped on his horse and said, "Go back home!"
