"Lord Yuwen, His Majesty demands your and Mrs. Yuwen’s presence in the Palace."
Yuwen Mansion was the home of Yuwen Tong, who was the most powerful Marshal of Great Yue. Yuwen Zhi smiled and bribed emperor's eunuch who called Wang Baolu. "Eunuch Wang, do you know why His Majesty summons us so suddenly?" Yuwen Zhi asked.
Returning the money to Yuwen Zhi, Wang Baolu said with a bothered tone, "Not that I don't want to tell you, my lord, but I really don't know what His Majesty wants. But rest assured, His Majesty looks peaceful."
Bribing the eunuch didn't work, so Yuwen Zhi felt a bit vexed. Though he kept scolding the eunuch inwardly, he still pretended to be grateful. "Thank you for letting me know. I will go to see His Majesty with my wife right away," Yuwen Zhi said.
"Lord Yuwen, that's very kind of you. I will be going then. And I will await your arrival in the Palace," Wang Baolu said.
"Eunuch Wang, take care," Yuwen Zhi said.

As soon as he saw Wang Baolu off, Yuwen Zhi immediately went to find his wife, Zheng shi.
"Why would His Majesty suddenly summon us?" Zheng shi asked with puzzlement while changing her clothes under the serve of her maid. Although she was nearly forty years old this year, she didn't look her age and still kept her charm.
"I don’t know. Wang Baolu didn't want to tell us anything. He returned the money I gave him as well." A dark look formed on Yuwen Zhi's face as he spoke.
"What? Is there something wrong?" Zhang was shocked. And she became hesitant while dressing herself.
"No matter what happens, we must to o the Palace right away. Be flexible, this time His Majesty specially asks me to take you, he will definitely ask you some questions. Leave it to me when you don't know how to answer and I will do it," Yuwen Zhi said.
Zhang responded in panic. After getting dressed, she went to the Palace with Yuwen Zhi.
In the Palace, the Emperor looked at them with no expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, what is your order for me and my humble wife? ” Yuwen Zhi said after secretly observing the Emperor's countenance. Welcome to unlock the whole chapter 64 - Do You Need Me to Dredge the Meridian for You? on Flying Lines.
