Summary of the previous chapter: A few days later, the second sister-in-law Qiao Yu left, and immediately after, there was a sudden oracle in the palace, saying that Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Apocalypse, was going to summon the court officials above the third grade

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Seeing the eunuch of the West Factory leave, Ma Xiaoquan's brows also wrinkled.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse eats well, sleeps well, is young, and usually pays more attention to maintaining his body, plus he himself always dances some carpentry chisels and saws, moves wooden boards or something, and in general, his body should be good.

But just now, the father-in-law of the West Factory said that the emperor was uncomfortable, which made Ma Xiaoquan a little puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Li Qinghan came up, saw Ma Xiaoquan frowning, and asked.

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I feel that something is wrong, um, but I can't say it." ”

"Oh, that father-in-law just now was"

"Oh, that father-in-law is from the West Factory~"

"Oh, I heard that the emperor is sick, is it serious?"

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head again: "I can't say it, it just so happened that the emperor summoned me, I'll just go and see." ”

"Good~"

Ma Xiaoquan came to the palace and met the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao's face was not very good, but when he saw Ma Xiaoquan, he still nodded very kindly, and said, "Ma Aiqing, you are here, you are here, sit down~"

Ma Xiaoquan didn't dare to slack off, of course he didn't dare to sit, and hurriedly bowed forward: "Your Majesty, your dragon body is not safe, I hope you will take care of the dragon body more~"

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I don't get in the way, but I think it's very strange, so I'll find Ma Aiqing and you alone." ”

Ma Xiaoquan was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, the minister listened to the father-in-law who came to deliver the decree say, Your Majesty, you summoned all the officials above the third grade, why did the emperor say that there is only one Weichen?" ”

"Shh~~" Zhu Youxiao stretched out his right index finger and made a quiet movement to his mouth, and then he whispered, "If I don't do this, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of some people." ”

"Someone? Who is it? ”

Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and muttered: "Donglin Party, already Wei Zhongxian"

"Your Majesty, you~~" Ma Xiaoquan was taken aback, although what Zhu Youxiao said was very simple, but Ma Xiaoquan heard the meaning inside.

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to stop it, nodded and said, "Actually, I know everything, but I can't do anything, I can't do anything," said Zhu Youxiao, who couldn't help crying.

Ma Xiaoquan sighed secretly in his heart, in fact, it was really difficult for him to let Zhu Youxiao, a twenty-year-old child who was not good, bear the fate of a country.

"Your Majesty, have you seen all those officials above the third grade?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "But I have seen anyone who I think has hope, but they have disappointed me, and I didn't say what I said to Ma Aiqing just now." ”

"Why?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Ma Xiaoquan: "Because I believe in you, well, it should be said that the only person who can make me believe now is Ma Aiqing." ”

When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he hurriedly knelt down: "Weichen thanked the emperor for his favor, and Weichen will live up to the emperor's grace." ”

Zhu Youxiao stepped forward to help Ma Xiaoquan and patted him on the shoulder: "Ma Aiqing, okay, what to do, I also know that you have a bottom in your heart, step down, I am a little uncomfortable, I want to take a break~" As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao turned his head back and picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, and was just about to leave, when he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of tea.

"Well, Your Majesty, your tea tastes really good~"

Zhu Youxiao put down the teacup and smiled: "Oh, you said this tea, well, this tea was sent by the emperor's brother (Zhu Youzhen), saying that it can calm the mind and wake up the mind, I have been drinking it for several months, and it really has this effect." ”

"Oh? How amazing is that? ”

Ma Xiaoquan said it purely casually, but he didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to nod very proudly and said, "Why don't I give you a taste~"

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare!"

"Huh? A little bit of tea, what don't you dare, but the emperor said, this tea is not allowed to give it away, I will make an exception, give you a small bag, you can taste it, well, you can't talk nonsense, hehe~"

"Yes~" Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward respectfully, Zhu Youxiao handed him a small tea bag, Ma Xiaoquan took the tea bag, carefully put it in his personal pocket, and then bowed out.

As soon as he walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Ma Xiaoquan met Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters.

"Weichen to the prince to say goodbye~" Ma Xiaoquan respectfully saluted Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen snorted and asked, "Ma Xiaoquan, have you gone to see the imperial brother?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, Weichen just went to meet the emperor~"

"Oh, how is the imperial brother's health?"

"The emperor's face is not very good, but on the whole it is okay, prince, do you want to see the emperor too?"

Zhu Youzhen smiled: "Of course, the imperial brother is sick, and I, as a younger brother, naturally want to ask for peace, well, by the way, bring some tea to the imperial brother~"

Ma Xiaoquan glanced up at the things in Zhu Youzhen's hand, and his heart was suddenly shocked, what Zhu Youzhen was holding in his hand was the tea bag that Zhu Youxiao gave him just now, but it was much bigger than the one Zhu Youxiao gave him.

Ma Xiaoquan remembered Zhu Youxiao's settlement, so he lowered his head and did not speak.

Zhu Youzhen didn't notice the change in Ma Xiaoquan's expression, he nodded and left in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry

Back at Ma's house, Ma Xiaoquan called Dongfang Qingxue.

Dongfang Qingxue brewed a good hand of tea, and also knew a lot of tea, Ma Xiaoquan handed the tea bag given to him by the emperor to Dongfang Qingxue, and said: "Qingxue, you help me see, what kind of tea is in this tea bag?" ”

Dongfang Qingxue didn't open the tea bag quickly, but first took the tea bag to her nose and sniffed it.

Dongfang Qingxue sniffed it a few times, put it down again, and then took it to her nose and sniffed it a few times.

"What's wrong with Qingxue, isn't it?"

Dongfang Qingxue put down the tea bag and shook her head: "It's not wrong, it's that I think it's strange?" ”

"What's a strange method? Haven't you seen this tea? ”

Dongfang Qingxue opened the tea bag and looked at the tea leaves inside, and shook her head: "I really haven't seen it, well, my Oriental family is mainly engaged in the tea business, I have followed my grandfather and father since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of tea, although I can't say Baitong, but I also know more than ordinary tea merchants, but this tea, although it has the fragrance of tea, but it does not have the characteristics of tea." ”

"No tea qualities? What do you mean by that? ”

Ma Xiaoquan doesn't understand tea, and he doesn't drink tea much, he doesn't understand what Dongfang Qingxue said.
