Chapter 543: Meeting the Emperor Again

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Wu Fan came to the hall and saw a man in eunuch's clothes sitting there drinking tea.

"It's okay, it's okay." The eunuch stood up and said politely when he saw Wu Fan coming.

Although Wu Fan was a viscount, such a title was just a small ant in the imperial capital, but who asked Wu Fan to save His Majesty's life not long ago? That was a great merit. Not to mention just waiting for a while, even if it was waiting for half a day, the eunuch would not dare to be dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty wants to see me?" Wu Fan asked.

"Yes." The eunuch said, "This is the first time that His Majesty has summoned a minister since the assassination. Lord Wu is deeply trusted by His Majesty and has a bright future."

"Then I'll take advantage of your good words." Wu Fan smiled.

"If Lord Wu is ready, then let's go. His Majesty is still waiting in the palace." The eunuch said.

"Okay, please come in, eunuch."

"Master Wu, please come in."

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Wu Fan entered the palace of Yanfeng Kingdom for the second time.

Compared to the first time, Wu Fan clearly felt that the security in the palace was more strict. There was a sentry every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. Soldiers were guarding everywhere. Everyone had a serious face. Seeing Wu Fan coming, they looked at Wu Fan with scrutiny. Wu Fan believed that if he made a slight move at this time, I am afraid that these soldiers would rush up without saying anything.

In addition to these sentries on the surface, Wu Fan also found that there were also many people in the dark. These people had a more stable aura and a stronger momentum. They were obviously masters.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Wu Fan went through many twists and turns and finally came to the palace where he met the old emperor after the last assassination.

Yongshou Palace!

It's a good name.

"Stop!" As expected, Wu Fan was stopped again at the gate of Yongshou Palace, and then several soldiers came up to search him, and this time the search was obviously more thorough than before.

"What's in it?" The leading soldier pointed at the bottle in Wu Fan's hand and asked.

"Refreshing tea." Wu Fan said, "Something that can refresh the mind after drinking, I am going to present it to your majesty."

"You can't bring it in?" The soldier said.

"Why?" Wu Fan frowned and said, "Do you suspect there are weapons or poisons hidden in it? If you suspect there are weapons, I can open it and show you. If you suspect there are poisons, it's even more unnecessary. I can't force your majesty to drink it."

"No, no matter what is in it, you can't bring it in. You can only go in by yourself, and you can't bring anything." The leading soldier said firmly.

Previously, Wu Ya used the hairpin on her head to assassinate, which many people did not expect. After that incident, those responsible for body searches checked more carefully. Even if it looked like something that could not be a murder weapon, they would not allow it to be brought in, so as to avoid the previous incident from happening again.

"You are a little unreasonable." Wu Fan frowned.

The reason why Wu Fan insisted on bringing the refreshing tea in was not to please the old emperor, but more importantly, he wanted to use the old emperor to promote his products. If even the old emperor said it was good after drinking it, how could the ministers and people below not buy it?

This is the advertising effect. Although Li Ziyang and others are expected to help promote themselves, since the old emperor summoned him at this time, he naturally could not miss this opportunity to advertise for free.

However, Wu Fan did not expect to be blocked at this door. The guards here did not let him bring the refreshing tea in.

"I don't care what you say, you can't bring this thing!" said the soldier.

Just when Wu Fan was angry and ready to argue with the other party, the voice of the old emperor came from the room.

"Let Wu Fan in!"

The leading soldier immediately stepped aside respectfully and said to Wu Fan, "Please!"

Wu Fan shook the refreshing tea in his hand, but did not say anything sarcastic to the soldier.

The door of the room was pushed open by two soldiers at the door. When Wu Fan entered, the door was immediately closed again, and the room was quiet.

"Come here." The old emperor's voice came again.

Wu Fan walked over and turned two corners before he saw the old emperor lying on the bed.

"Your Majesty." Wu Fan bowed to the old emperor.

The old emperor looked at Wu Fan and said, "No matter whether it is a minister or a eunuch or maid in the palace, they all kneel down to pay their respects to me, but you have always been unwilling to kneel."

"Kneeling is just a ritual. Those who kneel may not really respect Your Majesty in their hearts, and those who do not kneel may not disrespect Your Majesty in their hearts." Wu Fan said.

"Haha, that's true." The old emperor laughed and said, "Come and sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Fan came to the stool in front of the old emperor's bed and sat down.

On the surface, there were only Wu Fan and the old emperor in the room, but in fact, when Wu Fan came in, he had already felt that there were a few weak breaths in the corner of the room. This was not the kind of weak breath that meant that the other party was about to die, but that the other party was deliberately slowing down his breathing to hide his identity.

Obviously, the old emperor did not really trust Wu Fan completely, but because those people did not show up in public, Wu Fan pretended that he did not notice anything.

"What was the quarrel outside just now?" asked the old emperor.

"For this." Wu Fan handed the refreshing tea in his hand to the old emperor and said, "This is a kind of tea developed by me, called refreshing tea. It can be drunk directly. It has the effect of refreshing the mind and relieving fatigue. However, the guards outside seem to be worried that I have bad intentions, so they don't let me bring this thing in."

"Refreshing tea?" The old emperor took it and looked a little curious: "Is it really that magical?"

"Your Majesty will know after taking it." Wu Fan said.

The old emperor was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Wu Fan took the refreshing tea and poured a small cup, then drank it all, showing the bottom of the cup to the old emperor.

The old emperor frowned and said, "What are you doing? You are my savior, so you will naturally not harm me. I believe you."

"Yes, I understand. I just happened to be a little thirsty. It's my fault." Wu Fan quickly admitted his mistake.

The old emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Wu Fan to pour him a cup. Just like Wu Fan just did, he drank it all in one gulp, and then his eyes lit up slightly.

"It's really magical." The old emperor praised. With just one sip, he felt that he seemed to be in better spirits than before, and his mind was a little clearer, not as drowsy as before.

"As long as your majesty likes it." Wu Fan said.

"Then you can have someone send more to the palace." The old emperor asked.

"Yes." Wu Fan replied.

The old emperor nodded, and then he got to the point: "Do you know why I asked you to come here today?"
