The Emperor's summons soon reached Youzhou.
After receiving the summons, Wen Xingzhi squinted his eyes, stared at it for a moment, then sneered softly and tossed it onto the desk beside him.
His advisor, observing this, tentatively asked, "Isn't this year the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration? Yet, His Majesty wants all to come and congratulate her on her birthday, issuing a special summons to you, Young Master. This intention likely tests you."
Wen Xingzhi acknowledged with a sound, "Naturally, it's a test for me."
The advisor hesitated, "Then, should Young Master go?"
Wen Xingzhi replied without hesitation, "Naturally, I must go."
The advisor was shocked, "Young Master?"
Wen Xingzhi casually adjusted the lamp wick, watching it bloom into a flower in the light, his expression indifferent, "If I don't go, isn't it telling His Majesty I'm rebelling?"
