Qin Hong asked two questions in a row.
"The action is definitely real."
Chen Xuan answered quite cleverly.
"As for the information... does Your Highness think it was ?"
He countered with a question.
"Wasn’t it you?"
Qin Hong slightly furrowed his brows, "Could it be...."
"That’s right!"
Chen Xuan had no intention of hiding from him, this kind of thing was obvious with a little guess.
After all, as soon as he arrived in the Imperial City, he went to the Ritual Departnt.
Isn’t the result obvious!
"Why?"
Qin Hong was a bit puzzled. From what he knew about Liu Sheng, he shouldn’t have done such a thing.
Moreover, the Ritual Departnt and the Shadow Guards had no conflicts.
Doing this would completely offend the Shadow Guards, and most importantly, the true master behind the Shadow Guards, the National Preceptor!
"What does Your Highness think of the Shadow Guards?"
Chen Xuan did not answer, but asked again.
Besides, he also wanted to know what opinion this Fourth Prince of Great Yu had about the Shadow Guards.
"What do you an?"
"There should be so spies from the Shadow Guards in Your Highness’s manor, right?"
This ti, Qin Hong didn’t answer him, but his brows furrowed even deeper.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, then said slowly, "Having outsiders in one’s own manor, it’s a bit uncomfortable, isn’t it?"
"If one does not engage in disloyal acts, what’s the problem?"
Qin Hong finally spoke.
"Maybe?"
Chen Xuan shrugged, "Anyway, I don’t like it."
"So you did all this on purpose?"
Qin Hong asked.
"Haha!"
Chen Xuan laughed, neither denying nor admitting.
Although he was Qin Ying’s brother, fairness was fairness, and he wouldn’t admit to this matter even in front of Liu Sheng.
Being cautious was never wrong.
Otherwise, the gossip could cause trouble later.
Besides, from Qin Hong’s attitude just now, he understood that this Fourth Prince of Great Yu saw the Shadow Guards as a matter of course.
Perhaps this was the difference between the Royal Family and them before.
After all, Great Yu was surnad Qin.
Just like in the feudal society of the previous life, everything was privately owned by those surnad Qin; as long as it benefited the Qin Family, it was correct, plain and simple.
"So what are you planning to do?"
Qin Hong asked.
"Assassinated , at least I’m a prince of a province, there should be an explanation, right?"
"Even if it’s the Shadow Guards, they can’t casually kill a prince of a province, right?"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Hong’s face changed instantly.
"If you do this... there will be serious consequences?"
He was not stupid.
A prince of a province, that also counted as being among the upper echelons of Great Yu.
But the Shadow Guards had always been in the shadows.
Though everyone knew, no one had ever brought it to light.
Doing this undoubtedly pushed the Shadow Guards from the darkness into the light, and the cri of casually killing a provincial prince... though it was nothing much.
But that was in private.
If it erupted openly, it would be difficult to handle.
Unless so grand rebellious evidence against Chen Xuan could be found, otherwise... it would be hard to settle.
Even Father couldn’t cover it up.
Otherwise, everyone would feel endangered, and it would escalate.
And another point... could there be Liu Sheng’s involvent behind this, if there truly is, then... the Shadow Guards won’t easily extricate this ti.
It might even trigger a series of chain reactions.
Of course, the crucial point remained with Chen Xuan, if he changed his statent, there might still be room for maneuver.
"You don’t have to look at like that, the people of rMolan Mansion all heard and saw it that day, it’s no use."
Seeing his gaze, Chen Xuan could guess what was on his mind.
So he imdiately blocked him off.
Changing his statent was out of the question, why would he go through so much trouble, for what?
Moreover, he already thoroughly offended the Shadow Guards, even if he changed his statent, looking at the petty nature of that woman, there was no way she would spare him.
Since that’s the case, he might as well offend them completely.
"You...!"
"Sigh!"
Finally, Qin Hong sighed helplessly, "Do as you wish, but don’t think it’s that simple, the National Preceptor is behind the Shadow Guards, even with Liu Sheng supporting you, you... forget it, just be careful yourself."
"It would be best to leave the Imperial City as soon as possible."
There were so things that he was not at liberty to say too much about as a prince, but considering Qin Ying, he still advised him to leave the Imperial City sooner.
"Hmm!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly.
This matter had little to do with him now.
Furthermore, to avoid trouble, leaving the Imperial City early was the best choice.
But he wanted to see if there was a way to blend into the Three Judicial Departnts; if not, he would think about it later.
However, that was his intention, then he casually replied,
"I’ll leave the Imperial City after eting Long Da."
"Alright, I won’t say anything more about this, I’ll be off now."
Qin Hong got up and headed towards the door; this ti he didn’t try to recruit him.
After he left, it didn’t take long for Long Da to arrive.
"Is Qin Ying doing well?"
Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
"Yes, His Highness has reached the fifth level of the Dao Realm, but for the Buried Bone Land, she’s already restraining her Martial Cultivation and focusing on Spirit Cultivation."
Reaching the fifth level of the Dao Realm in such a short ti didn’t surprise Chen Xuan at all.
After all, she had a bloodline regression; if she didn’t have this speed... it would only an Emperor Qin’s bloodline was too useless.
"As for this matter... I hurried over without telling His Highness."
Long Da continued.
When he heard this news, he was indeed surprised.
The Shadow Guards targeting him, he couldn’t figure it out.
So there must be sothing fishy, and given his understanding of Chen Xuan, it was likely he did it on purpose.
"It’s okay, tell her not to worry, I’m doing fine, and there’s no issue, let her focus on her cultivation."
"Why don’t you tell Her Highness yourself?"
Long Da suggested.
"You an I can go too?"
