For those acting as state officials, what they fearedtraitorous; rather, it was being ”of not veryjust received Fu Shen's reminder, Yan Xiaohan thus paid special attention here He hadn't seen Yi Sinize hie, his eyes sunken into their sockets and expression withered yet venoaze was actually boring straight into hi
Yan Xiaohan recalled that they were the sae, yet when they stood opposite each other, their appearances were even ht and day
”General Yi”
While the Northern and Southern I officials still had to greet each other when they met on the road Yan Xiaohan cupped his hands towards hiesture, nor did he say anything He just stared at hiloomily for a time, then turned, and left
Yan Xiaohan: ”……”
The court eunuch guiding him into the palace was the recently-favored Eunuch Liu Ji, who quickly spoke up to settle thethis ”The E General Yi is perhaps also worried froht to etiquette as a result Please excuse hiating the truth has all been dumped on your shoulders, Sir”
The for since found an excuse to kick away Now that Liu Ji had stepped on Tian Tong to rise up to be Iht he had borrowed to do so, he was consequently especially courteous to Yan Xiaohan
His eyes followed the young Royal Inspector Envoy's steady gait as he strode into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, thinking about how Duan Linglong had pulled the wool over the people's eyes from within the palace Yan Xiaohan was his adoptive son and had risen in status the entire tilory and favor he received enduring With his sacred estee still wanted to challenge hi hi?

The Yuantai E old, and having so s under his eyes At Yan Xiaohan's salutations, his eyelids drooped ”What is all you know about the matter?” he asked insipidly
”This servant has already ordered people to assemble the dossier and separately interview the family, witnesses from the scene, and so on I will strive to find out the truth as soon as possible and bring the murderer in for trial Please rest assured, Your Majesty”

”To have others handles things is inferior to having you do the us be worry-free, in the end” As if a puff of tightly-held air had suddenly leaked out, the E undertone to theed”
”I wouldn't dare be Your Majesty flatters me,” Yan Xiaohan quickly replied
In reality, he wasn't too sure about which happening the E down never rong The Yuantai Eht deeply for a moment, then asked, ”We have heard that Fu Shen is not in the capital?”
”Answering Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jing Ning was unwilling to remain within this humble servant's Estate and moved to live in a villa outside the city the day after the wedding This servant believed that living separately on the outset of getting arded Your holy decree, so I had been staying the night in the villa for a few days before now”
”You have done well,” the E ruefully afterwards ”Fu Shen… it is little wonder he would be unwilling to stay in the capital”
An iron-boned General having his future prospects ruined and being forced to iven… the capital was the place his heart was broken, so Fu Shen wanting to stay in it for a long ti over his words and checking his body language, see as to what the Yuantai E before your return?” the Emperor asked
”That's…” Yan Xiaohan felt it hard to reply
”What is it? There is no harely quiet for a ti stopped up, until he ulti Ning needs to recuperate, and is idling his ti fowl, and…”
The Ehed dryly ”Pickling and salting duck eggs,” he said, finding it e up
The Yuantai Es?” The Emperor was incredulous ”Why… why did he suddenly think to do that?”
A noble stayed far fro their hands dampened by menial work, and the miscellaneous status of a cook was extre Master paant horown big enough How did he suddenly get the out-there idea to pickle eggs?
He just had to take up pickling, and it was for salted duck eggs – ord of this to get out and people started to call hi General”, wouldn't he be asha a nan, and the Marquis of Jing Ning grew up in the North; he didn't know that each and every Jiangnan salted duck egg wasto the Marquis's words, when he was in the ars they'd eaten were bitter or had a stench, half of every ten being oil-free, and he had though that all the salted eggs in the realm were like that… now he knows that the South has a differentmethod, so he wanted to try it out for hihable at first, but after hearing the part about the army, his smile weakened All that remained was total silence, a tiny bit of unhappiness, and a nearly indiscernible a, as if his mind had wandered ”Your Majesty?” he prohtly closed his eyes,ago, he had watched the young General's back as he departed the Golden Stage, and the feeling in his heart then was similar to the one in it now It was simply that none of the Ning and the Yuantai Eo to coone on ahead, and never looked back
The E time afterwards ”Give it a while When we confer a banquet for the Vast Longevity Festival[1], have him return”
Yan Xiaohan lowered and hooded his eyes, covering up the glearace, Your Majesty”
”There is nothing else going on You ain Just as he was about to draw back, the Yuantai E out to stop hi?” he asked distractedly
