When she was about to take his pulse, he rejected: “I am well-versed in medication and know my health better than anyone I wish to speak in private with Shaolong”
Everyone left the tent according to his wishes
When Xiang Shaolong was left alone, Xiao Yuetan suddenly sat up and his eyes are brirey and deathly, it feels absolutely different
As Xiang Shaolong was stunned by this dramatic transformation, he realised that he had put onhis hand elatedly, he was lost for words
Xiao Yuetan apologised: “I a cry But if I don’t resort to this, I cannot deceive Meng Wu and Meng Tian”
Xiang Shaolong understood hisand softly asked: “Brother Xiao has decided not to return to Xianyang City”
Xiao Yuetan nodded: “I can no longer work for that traitor He seeks my death to weaken Master Tu’s forces and replace us with his clansmen He dare not do so openly for fear of repercussions” From under his pillow, he retrieved a sealed ba’s hands, he instructed: “My fake death can only be revealed to Li Si, Teng Yi and Master Tu Shaolong, please helpit Get him to dismiss my servants and assistants It is fortunate that I am childless and can leave without any considerations”

Pausing, he added: “If Zhu Meng is killed at Huang Lung Ling, the Lu clans as Lu Buwei is dependent on Master Tu, Master Tu will protect you When you return to Xianyang, keep a low profile and do not visit Empress Ji or Crown Prince if possible This is to preserve your life”
Xiang Shaolong thought about Xiao Pan and was troubled How can he leave him alone? He did not wish to tell Xiao Pan the reason too as it may be too much for him to bear
Xiao Yuetan forced his voice to go even deeper and advised: “After I slipped away tonight, burn the whole tent and announce that it is ! Take care! Li Si et into trouble However, this man is truly brilliant and will be of assistance to you in the future”

When he heard about Xiao Yuetan’s death, Lu Buwei beat his chest and sto: “I will seek justice for Yuetan” Turning to Xiang Shaolong, he reassured: “Shaolong! This is not your fault Let’s enter the palace now and speak to Your Majesty”
In the past, Xiang Shaolong will be very thankful but it is a different matter now
