Zhou Shuren arrived at the government hall and immediately spotted Chang Zhong standing in line, with a boy of similar age standing beside him, pouting unhappily.
Zhou Shuren's heart clenched; what was his son doing inside the palace? Indeed, experience told him it must be troubling news.
Upon entering the study, Zhou Shuren saw the senior Wen, the Emperor's father-in-law; no need to guess, the young lad beside Chang Zhong must be from the Wen family, and a legitimate descendant at that.
Zhou Shuren composed himself, "Your servant greets the Emperor."
The Emperor seemed to be in a good mood, "We've been waiting just for you."
Zhou Shuren took a deep breath, "My youngest son is quite young; I would like to know why Chang Zhong has entered the palace?"
He wouldn't directly plead guilt, pretending like his son had indeed made a mistake; providing such an opportunity was not something he would do.
