Master Yuanhe ca quickly and left quickly.
By the ti Li Chongjin hurried back from the Capital Garrison, Master Yuanhe had just left.
He walked into the room, only seeing clean plates and Su Yun sitting in deep thought, realizing he had co late.
Su Yun reacted upon hearing the door close, quickly stood up and greeted Li Chongjin, "Your Highness."
"It seems I’ve missed seeing the Master once again," Li Chongjin raised his hand, signaling Su Yun to dispense with formalities, then sat down on the nearby stool.
Su Yun persuaded, "It’s okay, Your Highness. eting my master isn’t necessarily a good thing. He always speaks halfway, and one can’t tell truth from falsehood. Besides, eting him isn’t always good—either it’s imnse joy or overwhelming sorrow. Both are rare for the forr, and the latter is better not encountered."
Li Chongjin never placed his hopes on the Master’s prophecies. Even though Master Yuanhe’s predictions were more accurate than those of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, he never believed in fate, only in himself.
Moreover, he didn’t feel he was completely unqualified for that position.
"Hmm, you’re right," Li Chongjin felt fairly content. After the guard accompanying him had cleared away the dishes and served tea, he took a full sip.
"What’s the situation with Lord Chu?" Li Chongjin asked with concern.
Su Yun shook his head, "Master said it’s an emotional ordeal, entirely depends on the individual. There’s no telling when they’ll co to their senses. But my master seems optimistic, otherwise he wouldn’t have co and left so quickly."
"What do you an?" Li Chongjin was slightly unsurprised by the ntion of an emotional ordeal, having seen the two interact personally and knowing more than the people in the capital.
Whether back in the village or later in the capital, their relationship remained strong and unwavering.
Previously, Li Chongjin felt everyone was emotionless, mixing interests in, but the affection between Lord Chu and Madam gave him hope for a sincere, clean, and serious emotion. It wasn’t nonexistent; he just hadn’t encountered it.
However, he felt now, maybe he had found it.
Even if Chu Ziluo didn’t seem completely fond of him, it didn’t matter. How could a girl raised by Lord Chu and Madam not pursue earnest emotions?
And as for him, he could provide, allowing her to believe in him.
Su Yun didn’t notice the smile at the corner of his lips and analyzed seriously, "My master taught strategies in the past, cunning and shrewd as he may be, yet maybe he hadn’t seen for too long and exposed his greatest flaw."
"Everything he does is for rit, aning as long as sothing benefits the people of Great Chu, he will concentrate on it. If soone does evil, he becos anxious. If encountering the forr and resolving it, he wouldn’t stay long; only the latter might have other arrangents, hence he’d leave."
"Clearly, his quick departure this ti indicates strong confidence. Presumably, Lord Chu’s issues aren’t significant." Su Yun didn’t ntion how Master Yuanhe reminded him: never forget one’s original intention.
Master’s original intention was for the common people.
His original intention was to stand at the pinnacle of power, making things difficult for the wicked. Hence, his original intention focused on the latter, not the forr.
Was Master’s reminder a caution against getting gradually blinded by the forr?
Reflecting on recent endeavors, even targeting the Qi family, certainly affected so innocent people as well.
