His hairs were all standing on end, and he instinctively wanted to flee, but he forced hi through the iven the ele appearance by hihtainst Qiu Honglei’s master, and had been able to easily defeat her despite not being in the palace at all
If even a glorious grandmaster wasn’t a match for him, his own cultivation orthless
Zu An took a deep breath He braced hi fair I cannot accept this!”
“I am the emperor Do I need you to approve of what I wish to be done?” replied the ehtily
Zu An was momentarily speechless
Do you think you’re fucking Chen Beixuan or so?[1]
However, he reacted quickly “Your Majesty wants to achieve ies, in an indirect manner I don’t believe that you want history to remember you as an unjust man, or that you are a foolish ruler who acts on a whim”
Hmph You can say that you don’t care about what I think, or what everyone else here thinks, but there’s no way you wouldn’t care about what the later generation thinks of you
The emperor’s eyes narrowed “It’s been many years since someone has spoken to me like that”
Zu An’s tone i to offend Your Majesty I only wish to state a few things There was an assassination attempt in the imperial palace today First, I saved the empress’ life in the Palace of Peace, then I rushed over to the eastern palace and saved both the crown prince and princess Of all the contributionsthe top three most worthy, even if they aren’t considered the most worthy of all If Your Majesty does not wish to reward ative, but you’ve even ordered me to cut off a lis in a iveness”
The emperor snorted “You’re rather crafty, aren’t you? Whatever, I’ll give you a chance to o to your death without knohy”
“Make up for my crimes?” Zu An was confused He cursed inwardly Weren’t you saying just a second ago that you didn’t need ? Yet now you’re concerned about this stuff
“Help me take care of two matters,” continued the emperor “Once completed, not only will I pardon your licentious acts towards the crown princess, I will also reward you greatly If you fail, I believe you already know the consequences”

The ehts “The first et into the palace through the layers of guards,” he said
Zu An was surprised “Your Majesty, why aren’t you assigning this task to the Left and Right Guard Generals?”
The eations, and you have yours Is there a problem?”
Zu An shi+vered “Not at all” It sounded as though the eht Generals
The emperor continued “Secondly, you are to find out who leaked out the information that I wasn’t in the palace The assassins found the perfect moment to strike, and I refuse to believe that it was all just a coincidence”
Zu An forced a smile “Your Majesty, you know that it’s only been a few days since I arrived at the capital I am of lowly status, and I’m not well acquainted with ? Why not let Coate this instead? They are much more skilled at this”
“If I tell you to do it, then you do it What’s with all of this nonsense?” The emperor’s face was as dark as a thunderhead Ordinarily, his subjects would not even dare to breathe too loudly in front of him And yet, this fellow not only talked back to hihed aardly “Please, Your Majesty, I’ to help you coate these matters”
The eoing to assign Zu An to this case, there were some matters that he needed to be informed about As such, he said, “The reason I picked you for this is precisely because you haven’t been here for long With fewer ties in the capital, there’s less for me to worry about”
