The next day, Reading did not set foot in the house. Early in the morning, the waiter at the hotel brought him a relatively simple breakfast for the first time. This was a bit of a surprise to Reading. You know, Reading hadn't eaten all day yesterday. If it weren't for the fact that Redding's physique had been greatly enhanced, then Reading would have died of starvation last night.

Hmm, it's a little scorching. Redding picked up a small piece of cake and put it into his mouth. As soon as he put it in his mouth, Reading felt a rather unpleasant smell. If it had been before, Reading would have thrown it aside with a look of disgust. However, now Reading is very grateful for the experience with the lady who sighed lightly, which made Reading understand that the previous life was just a life of extreme desolation and luxury, and only when he has really endured hardship will Reading know what real life is. So now Reading just frowned, but his eyebrows seemed to be enjoying it, not only swallowing the food in his mouth quickly, but also destroying the whole plate of food like a wind.

After eating, the waiter who had been standing outside the door early opened the door, saluted Reading, picked up the plate that Reading had eaten, and prepared to leave. But at this time, he was stopped by Reading. "Call your boss. ”

"What's the matter, sir. Is it because you want to get out of here?"

Reading sat down on the bed and replied lightly: "You are not qualified to know about this." ”

The waiter looked very gentlemanly: "Of course, sir." Now I am really not qualified to meddle in your affairs. But when you're gone, you'll be in a much lower position than I am. The waiter stood at the door and glanced at Reading again, and said nonchalantly: "My lord, I believe you also know that this inn is only for you, and for this reason, Lord Regent has paid the original owner of this inn a large sum of money for him and his family to enjoy. And we were specially selected from all over the country to serve as waiters here. But my lord, you must know that we are not just ordinary waitresses. Thanks to the Lord Regent. Each of our compatriots in this inn is a nobleman. So, when you leave, you will be stripped of your status as Auxiliary Minister. So, when you see us again, maybe you'll be leading our horses and shining our shoes. After saying that, the waiter didn't give Reading a chance to talk back, and quickly closed the door and left.

Of course, Reading didn't have the heart to talk back to a mere waiter. In the words of the waiter, Redding is now the auxiliary minister of the Danmoth Empire, and the waiter is even a nobleman who is disgusted with the duke's promotion. But compared to Reading, he is now insignificant in Haihui Temple. Besides, how could Redding's mind be understood by a mere waiter, and he only needed this lowly nobleman to pass on his message to the innkeeper. In the entire inn, only the owner is slightly qualified to talk to his current self.

After waiting for a noon, the innkeeper was late. And Reading took advantage of this time to have a good night's sleep. The innkeeper gently pushed open the door, and saw that Reading was still lying on the bed and pretending to sleep, so he just closed the door lightly and stood there quietly waiting.

This wait lasted for nearly an hour. In fact, as soon as the shopkeeper opened the door, Redding knew he was coming. But Reading kept pretending to be asleep and ignored him. Reading did this only to see how long the innkeeper could endure. However, things disappointed him a little, and for about an afternoon Redding lay in bed looking for a comfortable position and waited for the innkeeper to wake him up, but until he was half numb, and the innkeeper remained motionless.

Finally, it was Reading himself who couldn't help it. "You were pretending to be asleep, but why didn't you wake me up?"

"My lord, because you didn't let me call you. ”

Reading was a little helpless about the innkeeper who didn't eat hard and soft: "Well, you know why I'm looking for you, right?"

"You're trying to find out something about Lord Regent through me. The innkeeper replied with a smile, "But I think you should be very clear that a person like me, who has been raised by Lord Regent since childhood, will not reveal a single thing about Lord Regent." ”

"Why don't you think about it? I'll give you a very good reward. Reading was still unwilling: "You also know that if things go the way your family regent asks, then the country will perish." Who will you be able to follow?"

"Your Excellency, you can't win me over like that. The innkeeper still kept smiling: "As far as I know, you are now homeless, or even nothing. Therefore, I am sure that you will not be able to pay me as much as the Lord Regent has given me. Also, my lord, I don't care where this country or even the world ends up. I only care about myself. Now, my lord, can you tell me what you think?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I wouldn't choose to leave. I'll stay the course. ”

The innkeeper's expression still didn't change at all, as if he had expected this for a long time. "I know, sir. I certainly know what you think. But what does that have to do with me? I've done my duty, but if you do choose to die, then you should die. With that, the innkeeper smiled strangely, closed the door and left.

"Die, die!" Redding grabbed the pillow from the bed and slammed it against the door, but it was a pillow after all, so it didn't have much strength. The fluffy pillow fell limply to the ground after making a fluffy close contact with the door, and so did Redding's heart. "Die, die... Reading collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

After dawn the next day, it was the innkeeper who opened the door, but this time he was awakened. "Your Excellency, Your Excellency?"

Redding opened his tired eyes and asked dissatisfiedly, "You didn't wait for me this time like yesterday, and I really fell asleep." ”

"My lord, I'd love to do the same thing I did before, but this time it's different. The innkeeper stood by the door so that it would not be closed by the wind. "Your Excellency, have you forgotten what day it is? Your Excellency has received news that His Majesty the Emperor has announced that he has summoned you. ”

Reading was startled, stood up suddenly, and asked eagerly, "Is it?

The innkeeper smiled: "Just now, I can't afford to delay such an important matter, so I took the liberty to disturb you." “

Reading didn't suffer anything, and after putting on his coat, he didn't look at the innkeeper anymore and walked straight to the door, but was stopped by the innkeeper. Reading was stunned for a moment, and asked in an extremely disgusted tone, "What do you want to do?"

The innkeeper smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you should understand that I am here to save you. You know that once you enter the palace, you will never be able to get out. “

"Why? Do you think that your regent will let His Majesty the Emperor kill me?"

"No, no, my lord, if that's what you think, then you're very wrong. The innkeeper hurriedly shook his head: "Because, it is not the Lord Regent who wants to kill you, but His Majesty the Emperor." “

As if he had heard the biggest joke, Reading broke free from the innkeeper and grabbed his hand and said angrily, "Shut up, you scum, you have no right to stop me." You have no right to interfere in my affairs!I'm going to leave this hellish place now, I'm going to meet your master for a while, knowing my identity, but he arranged such a place for me, it looks like I should really 'thank' him!" As his back was about to disappear, the innkeeper let out a deep sigh.

Redding's stomach was a little hungry again, and when he walked to the city, Reading remembered that he had only eaten one meal for the past three days. However, he was covered in shyness, and he had no money on him. Hey, it seems that only after entering the palace and accepting the summons of His Majesty the Emperor and reinstating his official position and nobility, Reading will have time to replenish properly. With this thought, Redding's mood was much happier. However, when he was about to arrive at the palace, he found a bigger problem, that is, how can he enter the palace with his current identity?

It was the first time he had experienced entering the palace without any entourage, and because of his identity before, every time he went to the palace, he was hugging him. There has never been a time like this, not only without any retinue, but also in tattered clothes. This may be the most shabby time in my life to enter the palace. Reading laughed to himself, and the previous time he asked the soldiers to buy him clothes would definitely not work anymore.

But while Reading was still hesitating at the palace gate, the guards recognized him. "Your Excellency, His Majesty the Emperor is holding a meeting. “

I didn't expect the meeting to be held before he even arrived, which caught Reading off guard. So immediately prepared to pass through these guards to reach the court. However, he was stopped by the guard from before.

Reading was stunned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The guard withdrew his hand and said, "My lord, I have already said that His Majesty the Emperor is holding a meeting. “

"Yes, His Majesty must have known that I was back, so he was holding a welcoming ceremony for me!"

"No, sir. His Majesty the Emperor knows that you have returned, but this meeting has nothing to do with you. “

Reading looked at the guard in disbelief and asked, "Are you kidding? Since His Majesty the Emperor knows that I have returned, and has summoned me this morning, then this welcome must have been held for me!"

"No, there was no welcoming ceremony, but a battle council for the apostles outside the line of courage. “

Originally, Reading was very surprised before, but when he heard that His Majesty the Emperor had actually begun to hold a battle meeting against those apostles, he immediately became excited again: "Then I should go in even more, because I have first-hand information to tell him." “

However, the guard remained unmoved: "Very sorry, sir. We have received an order that no one shall enter the palace during the meeting. If the meeting is disrupted as a result, our entire Guard and our families will be implicated. My lord, please think about the lives of the little people, if you try to break into the palace without permission, then I can only kill you according to the laws of the Empire. “

"It's not right, it's not right... Redding took a few steps back blankly, and said distractedly: "But His Majesty the Emperor sent someone to summon me early in the morning." “

Fortunately, the guards seemed to see that Reading was very pitiful now, so they gave him a little hope: "Yes, my lord." His Majesty the Emperor did want to summon you, but only after this meeting. So, until then, I suggest you wait quietly. ”

Reading was very obedient, and after glancing at the guard gratefully, he retreated outside the gate.

During the time he waited, Reading felt that every second was very long. Reading had been waiting for the sun not long after it had just risen, but it wasn't until the sun set that the guard from before walked up to Reading and gently patted Reading, who had almost fallen, and said respectfully, "My lord, His Majesty the Emperor has summoned you." ”

Reading, who had been standing and falling asleep, suddenly woke up, and without alerting his guards, he quickened up and began to climb the stairs leading to the palace. He was all too familiar with the stairs here, and it had taken a lot of effort for him to climb the stairs breathlessly, even with the guards holding his hand, but now he trotted forward even in the face of such a long staircase. Because this time, the meaning given to him is completely different from before.

By the time Reading arrived at the palace, the emperor was not in the usual court. Fortunately, the guards guarding outside the court took him to the residence of His Majesty the Emperor not far away. Reading excitedly followed the guards to His Majesty's safe house, only to find His Majesty the Emperor and Duke Regent already waiting for him.

Before Redding could bow to His Majesty the Emperor, the Regent said to him with a smirk: "Redding, you are guilty. “
