"It will be fine, the National Preceptor is here."
At that mont in the grand hall.
Emperor Yu played with the white jade bracelet in his hand, his gaze directed at the National Preceptor, "I really did not expect that the National Preceptor could also act?"
Saying that, he looked displeased.
"Haha!"
The National Preceptor was not embarrassed but chuckled lightly, "Children who cause trouble still need to be taught a lesson."
"And to rashly criticize Liu Sheng without evidence is truly overstepping."
"Liu Sheng is a ritorious minister of Great Yu, leading the Ritual Departnt diligently for many years, even I deeply respect him."
"You..."
Emperor Yu shook his head, smiling.
"But after all these years, Liu Sheng still hasn’t forgotten that incident, this ti, I’ve got a difficult task on my hands."
As the Emperor of Great Yu, it was also difficult for him.
The palm and back of the hand are both flesh, both have done great service for Great Yu.
This matter is truly hard to resolve.
"Indeed, Liu Sheng was wronged back then, Wood Shadow went too far."
The National Preceptor slowly spoke.
If he hadn’t been in closed-door training back then, he would have never allowed Wood Shadow to act so recklessly.
Thankfully, Emperor Yu intervened in the end.
Otherwise, angering Liu Sheng would have been a calamity for Great Yu.
"How do you think this matter should be handled?"
Emperor Yu asked him.
"Let’s wait and see."
After pondering for a mont, the National Preceptor responded.
"Alright, you handle it, I won’t intervene in this matter."
After speaking, Emperor Yu stood up, "I’ll head back first."
And the National Preceptor also imdiately stood up, not sitting down again until Emperor Yu left the grand hall.
"This is tricky now."
The National Preceptor said in a low voice.
Understanding Emperor Yu, he knew he was very displeased with his answer.
But facing Liu Sheng, he too was undecided.
...
Qin Emperor Sacred Land.
Qin Ying subtly curled the corners of his lips upon hearing what Long Da said.
Knowing Chen Xuan well, he probably already knew those people were Shadow Guards.
The reason for his actions... was surely to get rid of the Shadow Guards’ surveillance.
He was so mysterious.
Even she could not fathom him.
"What was father emperor’s reaction?"
Qin Ying asked.
"Emperor Yu has not yet expressed any stance."
"Hmm!"
She nodded slightly, which was normal, considering Chief Eunuch Liu was involved behind this matter.
On one side was the National Preceptor, on the other was him, so father emperor was indeed having a tough ti.
But she had long had opinions about the Shadow Guards.
Having eyes watching all day was naturally uncomfortable.
She very much agreed with Chen Xuan’s approach.
But as a Princess of Great Yu, the existence of the Shadow Guards was for greater stability, so even though she had opinions, she never expressed them.
"By the way, are you sure Chen Xuan has left Imperial City?"
Qin Ying asked.
"Well... that’s what he said, specifically, I don’t know."
After leaving the inn, he ca here.
As for whether Chen Xuan left or not, he was unclear.
"Understood, if father emperor has any ideas, inform imdiately."
After giving instructions, she cut off the connection.
"Leaving Imperial City?"
Qin Ying slowly shook her head, knowing Chen Xuan, it wouldn’t be that simple.
"Don’t cause trouble, this is Imperial City..."
...
Just as Qin Ying suspected, Chen Xuan certainly did not leave Imperial City.
However, he boldly left and then found soone, took their token, and brazenly returned to the Imperial City.
In the tavern.
Chen Xuan leisurely drank wine, it was not yet noon, there were only a few bustling tables.
At this mont, a table not far from him was whispering calmly.
And it was about him and the Shadow Guards.
"This Prince Xuan from Molan Mansion seems a bit sinister."
"How so?"
"Look, he just beca Prince Xuan, offended the Shen Family shortly after, seemingly offended Your Highness too, and now it’s the Shadow Guards... tsk tsk, to say nothing else, his fate is indeed tough."
"Now that you ntion it, it’s indeed true."
"But this ti, it’s exciting, I heard those major families are all waiting."
"Do you an...!"
"Mm!"
....
Chen Xuan listened, the corners of his mouth subtly lifting.
Though he initiated this matter, truthfully, he was rely a catalyst.
The main force was Liu Sheng, and now the high echelons of Great Yu were observing.
It seed they had all been burdened by the Shadow Guards for a long ti.
Just then, several n in official uniforms walked into the tavern.
Chen Xuan slightly raised his gaze, Three Judicial Departnts mbers, one in a golden robe, two in white robes.
One of the white-robed figures nodded slightly to the gray-clad servant in the distance, then the three quickly went up to the second floor.
A mont later, the gray-clad servant also carried a tray of tea upstairs.
Chen Xuan looked puzzled.
Although it was the Imperial City, after all, it was the white-clad mbers of the Three Judicial Departnts, no need to nod to a tavern servant, right?
"A familiar face?"
After taking a sip of wine, he murmured softly.
But soon shook his head, the servant’s eyes were off.
He then tossed a silver ingot, left the tavern, and entered an alley, confird no one was around.
Instantly transford into a Thunder Spirit Mosquito, flew towards the tavern.
Quickly found several people.
Landed by the window seam and looked inside.
"Sothing is off indeed."
Chen Xuan thought silently.
That servant and the golden-robed mber of the Three Judicial Departnts sat facing each other, while the two white-robed mbers stood by.
"Does Lord Ying have any orders?"
The golden robe asked the servant.
"Shadow Guard!"
Chen Xuan was imdiately alard, it was such a coincidence, he didn’t expect these were Shadow Guards.
"It seems they are indeed everywhere."
He thought with unfeigned admiration for the Shadow Guards’ capability, having infiltrated the Three Judicial Departnts and beco part of the golden-robed faction.
