Fairy, dreams shouldn't be taken seriously.

Fan Qingyi turned and left, closing the door behind her to keep the cold wind out.

"I heard there's going to be a war?" Fan Zui sat down in the seat opposite him.

He took out a pot of wine from his spatial ring and placed it on the charcoal fire to warm it.

With his head full of white hair, Du Mie Shi Hou stared at the wine pot for a long time before reaching out to take it.

Meeting the Crown Prince's gaze, he sheepishly withdrew his hands.

"Yes, they've already started fighting."

"looking for me?"

"It's nothing, His Majesty just wants to see you, probably to get you an official position or something."

He warmed his hands by the embers, his white hair gleaming faintly in the firelight.

"Give me an official position?"

She never intended to become an official.

Moreover, if they're about to rebel, what's the point of being an official?

Will the border unrest affect your plans?

The old man looked up at him but didn't say anything.

Silence means there is.

What is the palace's attitude?

The Southern Barbarian Empire launched a border war, using such a bizarre pretext. The person in the palace must have some opinions about it.

"His Majesty's intention is to send me to marry a foreign ruler, and then unify the world directly."

The old man said it half-jokingly.

“Um…” Fan Zui suddenly felt that this might not be a bad idea.

All I can say is that this decision was correct.

Judging from this, the old man must have refused.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be sitting here warming herself by the fire; she should be preparing her wedding dress.

"Since it's a summons, you should go. It's not good for the people from the palace to keep waiting."

"Alright, then I'll go and see this Emperor Qian Yuan."

As he came out of the study, he paused at the doorway and looked up at the sky.

For some reason, he always felt that countless hands were constantly manipulating his destiny throughout his life.

It's a strange feeling, I can't quite put my finger on it.

It's just a feeling that comes out of nowhere.

Very strong!

Upon arriving outside the mansion, they saw the carriage and also met the people from the palace.

They're acquaintances too!

"Have we met somewhere?"

He didn't spell it out, but asked tentatively.

"Your Highness is too kind. This is the first time this old servant has met Your Highness."

Pretend, keep pretending!

On his first day in the capital, it was this old fellow who drove the carriage and took him to that island palace.

The old man is the one who came to pick him up now.

Seeing that the other party did not acknowledge An, Fan Zui did not ask any further questions, but just smiled and remained silent.

"Thank you for your trouble, sir!"

As Fan Zui entered the carriage, he casually uttered a polite remark.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. It is my duty. Please be seated and I will be leaving now."

The carriage moved forward slowly, and Fan Zui was lost in thought.

Before long, they arrived outside the palace.

Carriages are not allowed to pass here; they are blocked by imperial guards.

The old eunuch, holding the token, moved freely.

The carriage drove in as well.

"My lord, why has His Majesty sought me out?"

"This old servant dares not speak presumptuously, however, Young Master Fan's reputation has already spread throughout the capital. His title of prodigy is well-deserved. His Majesty has always cherished talent, therefore..."

The old eunuch stopped himself in time; he had already revealed enough.

Fan Zui wondered if the Qian Yuan Emperor had sensed something.

For example, the matter of rebellion...

Now, everything is in the making, and a leak is not impossible.

The sight of a carriage moving through the vast palace was quite eye-catching.

Not far away, two ministers stood watching.

"A carriage is allowed to travel, and it's being driven by Eunuch Hou, a favorite of His Majesty. Who is inside, to warrant such a high status?"

"In all my years as an official, this is the first time I've ever seen a carriage traveling within the palace grounds..."

The two high-ranking officials were both astonished and whispered among themselves about it.

Inside the palace, sedan chairs were the usual mode of transport.

Both men held high positions; they were tutors to the Crown Prince and were among the Three Dukes of the court.

"Perhaps some important person has arrived..."

Eunuch Hou focused on driving the carriage and headed straight for the Imperial Study.

After an incense stick had burned, the carriage stopped.

"Your Highness, we have arrived."

Stepping off the carriage, Fan Zui immediately noticed the three large, gilded characters of "Imperial Censor's Office".

This carriage is also a valuable tool; it's quite fast.

The wheels don't touch the ground; it floats in the air, similar to a levitation train.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. This old servant will go in and inform him."

After saying this, the old eunuch bowed and went into the imperial study. He returned shortly afterward.

"Your Highness, His Majesty requests your presence."

After Fan Zui entered the imperial study, the old eunuch withdrew and closed the door.

Sensing something amiss, Fan Zui remained calm and continued forward.

The Imperial Study was filled with books.

The bookshelves are arranged in a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) shape, creating a visually appealing effect.

Each bookshelf was packed full of books, densely packed together.

Astronomy, geography, martial arts manuals, and internal energy cultivation methods are all included, leaving nothing out.

At the very center of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) is a sandalwood chair.

A sheet of Xuan paper was laid on the table, with words written on it. The ink was not yet dry, but there was no one in sight.

If you get closer, you can see the words on it.

His name is Fan Zui!

It is written in cursive script, which is very abstract, written in one go, and is grand and magnificent.

"Your Majesty summoned me. What is the matter?" Fan Zui asked, bowing slightly.

Although no one was inside.

Chapter 236 [Where's the fifty-meter-long broadsword?]

"His Majesty?"

Still, no one answered.

It's strange that he was summoned but is now hiding.

Fan Zui was puzzled and immediately began to wander around the room.

The Imperial Study is a temple of knowledge, decorated with exquisite and elegant cultural symbols.
