Chapter 216 The Decree
The butler walked sideways and said respectfully, "It's the head chamberlain."

Xiao Duo's hurried steps suddenly stopped, and a look of doubt appeared on his face, "Head chamberlain?" If there wasn't something important, why would he go to the trouble of sending an order in person?

The butler nodded.

"Can he reveal what's going on?" Xiao Duo asked anxiously.

Ever since he got the evidence of Lord Duan's collaborating with the enemy from Prince Duan's mansion last night, he has been worried all the time, always afraid that disaster will happen suddenly.

After all, what he got was the fatal evidence of Prince Duan's crime.

Once Prince Duan realizes that this thing is in his hands, he will not let him go. Even if he is not intercepted in the house or on the way, he will definitely denounce his guilt in front of the emperor.

He knew that he was not always clean, and it would be easy for Prince Duan to find some accusations against him.

But he didn't dare to be too hasty and use the evidence of Prince Duan's crime to directly attack the emperor.

A heart can be said to be fried in oil and cooked in fire.

At this time, the head chamberlain came to deliver the order in person. How could Xiao Duo calm down?

The butler cupped his hands and shook his head, "I didn't say anything, just..." After thinking for a while, the butler added: "The chamberlain's father-in-law looked quite happy. When the servant came to invite His Highness, he even ordered a cup of Biluochun."

If you can ask for tea by name, at the very least, this imperial edict is not an imperial edict to punish sins and punishments.

Xiao Duo breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and walked to the living room in front. From a distance, he saw the head maid drinking tea with his legs crossed, with a smile on his face, and talking to his servant. It seemed that the servant had made him happy.

The fear in Xiao Duo's heart was completely eliminated, and he walked over quickly, "Today I bother you to deliver the order in person." When he came to the front, his tone was extremely polite.

There is a difference between honor and inferiority.

But after all, he is the person in front of the emperor.

Even if he is a prince, he cannot be offended.

Seeing Xiao Duo coming over, the head chamberlain was not in a hurry to get up and salute. He only waited until he said these words before he slowly stood up, clasped his fists slightly and said: "The emperor personally gave the order, so naturally I have to accept the order. "

After a few polite words, one knelt on his knees to greet the imperial edict respectfully, and the other with a long note unique to eunuchs, as if singing in a play, read out the imperial edict and handed it to Xiao Duo.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!" When Xiao Duo stood up, the head chamberlain said with a smile and a happy smile.

Xiao Duo was even more smiling.

He never expected that this time when the South Vietnamese envoy came to Beijing for an audience, the emperor actually appointed him to be the person to host the reception and take charge of all matters.

In the past, such honorable and dignified things were all the fault of that kid Xiao Yu, how could it be his turn!

Changshun took the opportunity to hand over a thick red envelope that he had prepared a long time ago. Xiao Duo invited the chief chamberlain to sit down and asked: "Why didn't my father let the fourth brother... this time?"

A strange light quickly flashed through the smiling eyes of the chamberlain. He took a sip of Biluochun and said, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was injured a few days ago. Although he is able to walk now, how can the emperor bear to let him be tired?"

After all, the head servant looked at Xiao Duo with a smile in his long and narrow eyes like a fox.

When Xiao Duo heard this, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

It turned out that this honor that made him ecstatic was obtained because his father felt sorry for Xiao Yu. For a moment, his eyes glanced at the bright yellow imperial edict in front of him, and Xiao Duo felt dazzled.

However, after all, it was Xiao Duo who had a deep city. Even though he wanted to cut Xiao Yu into pieces to vent his anger, he had not yet reached the point of losing his composure.

After a moment of gloom, a brighter smile appeared on Xiao Duo's face, "Look at my memory, I forgot this. Let's just say, why is it my turn this year? It turns out that I picked up on my fourth brother's mistake. I heard that the fourth brother was injured because Miss Gu who met Chinanhou's mansion was assassinated by gangsters and the hero rescued the beauty, do you know if it is true or not?"

Although Xiao Yu had already informed the emperor about Prince Duan's assassination of Gu Yuqing, this matter involved the royal family's reputation. No matter how you put it, it was a scandal. The emperor naturally suppressed it with one hand, so outsiders did not care about it. Get the inside scoop.

Xiao Duo could tell this, so he already knew a lot. When the head chamberlain looked at Xiao Duo's eyes, there was a meaningful smile.

"True or false, how much can an old slave know as a waiter? Your Highness is making things difficult for me." After the vague answer, the chamberlain stood up with a smile, "After drinking His Highness's tea, I can An Xin has returned to the palace to resume his duties. I will arrange for the South Vietnamese delegation to come to the palace for an audience. Your Highness is still busy, so I will take my leave first."

Old fox!
Xiao Duo cursed silently, got up and saw him off in person. As soon as the chamberlain got on the sedan chair and left, the smile on his face disappeared. The sedan chair staring at him gradually disappeared, and then he turned around and returned home.

Changshun said in his ear: "Your Highness, this is a great thing. Your Highness personally presided over the South Vietnamese delegation's visit to the palace. In this way, there will be more opportunities to find evidence of Prince Duan's liaison with the enemy."

However, Xiao Duo's expression was not serious. He avoided the topic and only said: "Have you received any reply from the people we placed on Xiao Yu's side?"

Chang Shun immediately said: "There is nothing special, just saying that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has been recuperating in the mansion for the past few days and has not gone out. He only went to Duan Wang's mansion last night."

When Xiao Duo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "He went to Prince Duan's Mansion? Why didn't you tell him earlier!" He gave Changshun an angry look.

Changshun said aggrievedly: "There is nothing else important. I heard that it was because Princess Duan was acting as a matchmaker to get the third lady of the Dong family to marry Murong Hao. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince went there for this purpose."

Chang Shun knew who Murong Hao was, and Xiao Duo knew even more.

I have to be masculine and not approach women.

In order to correct his bad habit, the Murong family even bought a Yangzhou skinny horse back. As a result... Murong Hao was so mad that he had the skinny horse stripped and thrown on the stage that night, in front of countless people coming and going. In front of pedestrians, I spent money to hire a group of beggars and gave the skinny horse to...

Thinking of this, most of the tension and anger that Xiao Duo had just surged up dissipated, and he sighed: "Why did Princess Duan push Dong Xueruo into that pit of fire?"

Changshun nodded, "Who says it's not the case? That's why His Highness the Fourth Prince endured the pain in his back wound and went to Princess Duan to argue with her."

That's the theory!

No one has to theorize.

Xiao Duo twitched the corner of his mouth with a sneer and said, "He went at the right time!"

Prince Duan has always been extremely suspicious. The last time he sued Prince Duan, he was betrayed by the father-in-law named Mu. This time, Prince Duan must be the first person to suspect him.

But now that Xiao Yu has appeared, I am afraid that the first person that Prince Duan will suspect will no longer be him.

After all, Xiao Yu's appearance was so untimely.

Xiao Duo suddenly felt very good when he thought that Xiao Yu had unintentionally become the trigger for him to arouse Prince Kai's suspicion and investigation.
