Chapter 453 - Farewell (2/2)

Gong Chang’an miserably knelt to the ground and said while shaking his head repeatedly, “This old servant has already dispatched two more riders!”

“This unfilial son!” The king was so infuriated that he wanted to smash his teacup. However, he then realized that he had already smashed it earlier and that the eunuchs had only just finished cleaning up the fragments.

“Why did he leave so many matters for Us to deal with?”

Gong Chang’an shed tears silently: My King, these matters are what you piled up over these past few days. You really can’t blame His Highness the Crown Prince for this!

“I saw that this unfilial son was quite swift in handling these matters in the past. He would finish looking through three days’ worth of memorials in half a day! Why are there so many today? Come over here to look! Why is this He Qizheng of the Ministry of Works bewailing his poverty again? He has to entreat Us for food every month! We myself almost have to resort to eating rice husks!”

Gong Chang’an: … He really didn’t want to attend to the raging king! Could he just be excused! When the crown prince handled state affairs in the past, the king had never created such an enormous commotion, smas.h.i.+ng cups now and then smas.h.i.+ng the brush-cleaning cup later. Gong Chang’an lamented how his line of work really wasn’t easy!

“Go and inquire whether that unfilial son has sent back a letter! Did he say when he would return?” The king used his brush to draw a cross mark on He Qizheng’s memorial. Asking for food my a.s.s, there’s none!

My King, you already asked five times today! Someone save me…

Huifeng looked at his master queerly. He didn’t say anything and just gazed at him silently.

Master, if you were to take a detour to Xijiu City, then three days are definitely not enough to return to the capital!

“You should return to the capital with Little Snow.” Qiao Mu reached out to rub the snow leopard’s big head, which had squeezed in between the two people. “Little Snow is fast at running. Three days is probably not possible, but you should be able to get back in four days.”

“I’m not in a hurry.” Mo Lian said gently.
