Chapter 321 Sudden Anger
"Who... who summoned me?" Lin Wanrong could hardly believe his own ears and asked again with wide eyes.
"The Emperor, the Emperor has summoned you," said Xu Wei, trailing behind a carriage. The elder Xu grabbed his hand and hurriedly led him toward the carriage, "This is a great honour, young man. You should come with me."
The Emperor's summons? A mixture of surprise and delight rose within Lin Wanrong. He had just been contemplating how to curry favor with Xu Wei, hoping that he might recommend him to meet the Emperor. But now, the Emperor had taken the initiative to summon him to the palace. The situation made him feel rather hesitant.
"Master Xu, does the Emperor know me? Do you know why he is summoning me?" Lin Wanrong asked cautiously.
"We will discuss this on the way," Xu Wei responded. He signaled to the coachman, and the two of them pulled Lin San onto the carriage. The elder Xu climbed in after him. The carriage was spacious and well-lit, with a table and a bed adorned with a silver-threaded jade quilt. There was also a teapot and teacups on the table, all exquisite to the sight, making it clear they were no ordinary items.
"Set off, quickly!" Xu Wei seemed to fear that Lin San would change his mind and hastily ordered the coachman. The horse hooves clattered as the carriage began to roll towards the city.
Seeing that everything was settled, Xu Wei finally let out a long sigh of relief. He sat down on the seat, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and laughed, "Good. I have fulfilled my duty. I have brought you to the palace."
Lin Wanrong chuckled, "Mr. Xu, you exaggerate. Do I really have such influence? One word from you, and here I am."
