How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

"We don't know about this. After all, Second Young Master Su was the one wanted by Guo Tiling and Gu Gu themselves." Eunuch Zhao said calmly, "Perhaps Master Su made a mistake."

Eunuch Zhao's tone was like Yin and Yang, "After all, there are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers. And it's not easy to be a good horse trainer. What do you think, Lord Su?"

Su Zhongyue was ashamed: "This... what Eunuch Zhao said is true."

"What kind of a swift horse is he..." Su Wenhao muttered in a low voice, "There must be something wrong, brother, let's go and take a look at the imperial edict later to see if there is any problem."

Su Haichao glanced at him indifferently but did not say anything to stop him.

"Second Young Master Su, please stand up and receive the order." Eunuch Zhao took a close look at Su Qinghe. This Second Young Master Su is now on a meteoric rise, and he has made the Second Prince work so hard for him. He only hopes that he will not disappoint the Second Prince's expectations in the future.

Su Qinghe stood up quickly, still a little incredulous for a moment, "I, no, your humble servant... accept the order."

"Once you enter the Heavenly Guards, you will have to live in the palace permanently. Guo Tiling has prepared a bedroom for you in the tower. You only need to pack your belongings and enter the palace." Eunuch Zhao reminded him, "Oh, and you don't need to bring a servant with you. After all, that place doesn't need servants to serve you."

"Yes." Su Qinghe nodded, tightly grasping the imperial edict in his hand, as if afraid that the object was an illusion, and turned and hurried towards the bedroom.

Su Wenhao immediately followed, "Second brother! Let me take a look at the imperial edict!"

After saying that, without waiting for Su Qinghe to answer, he stretched out his hand to grab the imperial edict, opened it and took a look, and immediately burst out laughing, "This name..."

Su Qinghe suddenly frowned, his eyes showing some anger, "How dare you! This is an imperial decree! How can you be so rude!"

Seeing Su Qinghe getting angry, Su Wenhao was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect that the usually weak and spineless man would actually get angry. He shrank slightly, then straightened his neck and said firmly, "I think you are guilty! Your name on this imperial edict is completely different from the emperor's handwriting. Could it be that you bribed someone to forge the imperial edict?"

"What?!" Hearing Su Wenhao's words, Su Zhongyue, who had been paying attention to this side, immediately strode over, snatched the imperial edict and unfolded it.

As expected, the three words "Su Qinghe" at the front of the imperial edict were extremely ugly and were not the emperor's handwriting at all.

"You! How could you do such a stupid thing?!" Su Zhongyue felt his eyes go dark and angrily threw the imperial edict to the ground, "This is a capital crime! Are you trying to implicate my Su family and bury them with you?"

Su Qinghe was stunned. He had never bribed anyone to falsely convey the imperial edict!

“Father—” He was about to open his mouth to explain, but a sharper, longer, and more terrified voice sounded before him, “Oh my God—”

Eunuch Zhao ran over in small steps, picked up the imperial edict in panic, dusted it off, and glared at Su Zhongyue, "How can you treat the Second Prince's calligraphy like this! If His Majesty knew about this, you wouldn't have enough heads to chop off!"

What--!

The Su family members looked back in surprise.

These words were actually written by the Second Prince?

Su Zhongyue was dumbfounded, his brain was working rapidly, could it be that the Second Prince had stuffed Su Qinghe into the Jiantian Division? But... even if it was the Second Prince, he shouldn't have the ability to do that! Jiantian Division was such an important place, how could they just stuff someone in there? Especially a person with no ability?

Su Qinghe was also confused. He thought that the Second Prince had been completely disappointed in him, so he stopped contacting him from that day on...

Who would have thought...

"Oh, I'm really pissed off!" Eunuch Zhao said distressedly while holding the imperial edict, "His Majesty dotes on the Second Prince, so what's wrong with asking the Second Prince to write a few words on the imperial edict? But you, without even checking whether the jade seal is real or fake, say that it is a false imperial edict..."

Eunuch Zhao turned around angrily and asked the young eunuch beside him, "Xiao Dezi, tell me! What is the punishment for those who disrespect the imperial edict?"

Xiao Dezi raised his head and said loudly and seriously, "Of course, they will be exiled or executed."

"Hmph! I'll go back and report the truth to His Majesty!" After Eunuch Zhao finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Eunuch Zhao! Please stay!" Su Zhongyue hurriedly stopped Eunuch Zhao and explained, "Eunuch Zhao, I am just afraid that I will do something evil. I have no intention of disrespecting the imperial edict! Please have mercy!"

After saying that, he quickly winked at Su Haichao.

Su Haichao stepped forward and gestured, "Eunuch Zhao, please spare me a moment to talk."

Eunuch Zhao snorted coldly, put the imperial edict back into Su Qinghe's hands, and followed Su Haichao to the side hall.

After a while, Eunuch Zhao came back with a bag full of silver bills and said lazily, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Considering that the Su family did not mean it, come here, punish those who just doubted the authenticity of the imperial edict with ten sticks!"

After saying that, he grabbed Su Qinghe's arm and said, "Second Master Su, don't bother packing up, just follow me into the palace."

Su Qinghe was dragged out of the Su family by Eunuch Zhao. Before getting into the car, he couldn't help but look back at the Su Mansion.

I could hear the screams of Su Zhongyue and Su Wenhao, which showed that the stick was hitting them with quite a lot of force.

Su Qinghe closed his eyes, turned around and resolutely got into the carriage.

"Second Master Su, once you enter the palace, everything you do will be for the sake of the Second Prince's reputation, so don't let him down." Eunuch Zhao took out half of the banknotes he had just received from Su Haichao from his sleeve and put them in Su Qinghe's hand. "Although the Tianshi Department doesn't need it, it may be useful to the Ministry of Works."

"How can this be?" Su Qinghe quickly refused, but Eunuch Zhao said that this was the Second Prince's intention, so he had no choice but to accept it obediently.

Holding the banknote, Su Qinghe felt as if he was still in a dream. He gently unfolded the imperial edict as if it were a treasure, and looked at the three crooked and particularly eye-catching words "Su Qinghe". He couldn't help laughing for a moment, and his eyes became red and moist.

The Second Prince's handwriting is so ugly.

But why... does he think it looks so beautiful?

It seems like the most beautiful word in the world.

-

As soon as Su Qinghe entered the Ministry of Industry, he felt countless burning gazes falling on him.

When Gu Lao heard that someone was coming, he walked out of the workshop to meet the person. He swept his sharp and majestic eyes over Su Qinghe, and then frowned.

Seeing this, Su Qinghe couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

After all, he entered the Ministry of Works and the Heavenly Supervision Bureau because of a favor from the Second Prince. In reality, he had nothing of his own, so it was understandable that the people in the Ministry of Works looked down on him.

He was just afraid of bringing shame to the Second Prince.

Sure enough, Gu Lao shook his head, seeming very dissatisfied.

"Gu Lao, I..." Su Qinghe wanted to say that although he was not very familiar with the Ministry of Industry, he would definitely study hard, but he saw Gu Lao turned around and instructed an official, "Lao Li, this kid is too skinny, I guess he can't even move a piece of iron! Go! Train him up! When he can lift three full jars of water without panting, bring him to me!"

Su Qinghe:? ? ?

Su Qinghe: How much water do you need to carry?

After noon, Guo Tianheng came to the Ministry of Works to pick up someone and found that Su Qinghe was exhausted.

Guo Tianheng was so angry that he stood at the entrance of the engineering department and yelled, "Gu Yun! You did it on purpose! How can you use me for the Heavenly Supervisor Department when you make me so tired?"

Gu Lao stood in the Ministry of Industry and snorted in response, "You are originally from my Ministry of Industry. It is a great mercy for me to lend it to you for half a day! Do you want it or not? Don't give it back to us!"

"Bah!" Guo Tianheng gnashed his teeth and said, "He is obviously from my Jiantian Division! If you were not disrespectful to your elders, why would I, Jiantian Division, give half of him to you!"

The two men cursed at each other across the door of the Ministry of Works. In the end, Guo Tianheng was concerned about his reputation as the commander of the Astronomical Bureau, so he snorted coldly, stopped the verbal fight, and took Su Qinghe back to the Astronomical Bureau.

As soon as he entered, Guo Tianheng pointed to the pile of books and said, "Read these books first. If you don't understand anything, go ask the seniors here. Don't be ashamed to ask."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Su Qinghe looked at so many books and felt overwhelmed. He had never been good at reading since he was young, and it got worse later. Now he had to finish reading all the books in the room and understand them thoroughly, which was like torture to him.

but……

The Second Prince had put in countless efforts to get him into the Heavenly Guards, so how could he be discouraged and let the Second Prince down?

Taking a deep breath, Su Qinghe picked up one of the books with a fearless attitude and began to read.

But unexpectedly, when I looked up again, the moon was bright but the stars were sparse, and the night was pitch black.

The fatigue all over his body disappeared without him knowing when, and his ears and eyes became clear...it was as if he was reborn.
