“Then we’re just going to wait like this?” one of the Black Frost Calvary asked stormily
The head astrologer quickly shook his head “His Majesty cannot come out until the proper hour” There were already weapons bared outside the ancestral hall If His Majesty really wanted to coer only felt that he knew the truth–and that was that His Majesty didn’t have the courage to reveal himself!
“This subject respectfully requests Your Majesty to come out of the ancestral hall,” Elder Li raised his voice at the closed doors
The various lances, before chorusing in unison, “We subjects respectfully request Your Highness to come out of the ancestral hall”
There was nothing but silence in response It was as if nobody was in the ancestral hall at all!
“Your Majesty!” Elder Li shouted again Why has Grand Preceptor Xie shown up at the palace? Did the Xie father and daughter pair cheat and coaxed His Majesty again? The possibility grew ht further Otherwise, where would Xie Wenyuan get such daring? Such self-confidence?
“What do we do?” one of the generals asked Lou Zigui in a low voice “Should we charge inside?”
“We can hold Xie Wenyuan and the eested “With theh to kill our way out of the capital”
“As I see it, we should just kill theht muttered, “Stick them with a white blade and leave with a bloodied one We’ll kill our fill with them”
Lou Zigui raised a hand to call for silence fro to Elder Li The old ht be in trouble If the situation turns perilous, I’ll take His Majesty away”
Elder Li glanced at Lou ZIgui, his heart heaving in terrifying waves Despite this, his expression was as calm as a still pond “Back to Anyuan?” he asked
Lou Zigui nodded
“Is Xie Wenyuan still the cause of it all?”
Again, Supreme Commander Lou nodded
Elder Li withdrew his hand and hly assist His Majesty?”
“Uncertain,” Lou Zigui said, “But I won’t let anyone harm His Majesty before I die”
Elder Li hesitated before minutely nodded his head
“No matter what I say later on, I ask that Elder Li doesn’t suspectXiaoyaos later, as Elder Li and his faction supposed to trust?
“Father, are you absolutely confident this ti Grand Preceptor Xie at the saui
“May Eer set your cares at rest,” Grand Preceptor Xie said “If anything goes wrong, Esteeer need only think of yourself”

Grand Preceptor Xie s to happen to Eer” If that witless fool really beco Xin ascend the throne? Grand Preceptor Xie had long made plans in his heart, but for now, he had to calhter
E words behind his words Have I an to make mental calculations of her own
Grand Preceptor Xie observed Lou Zigui as he drew closer to the doors of the ancestral hall, before raising his hand tobeneath the altar heard this cough and took it as a signal He ran out of the altar and began knocking down all the enshrinedtheround without exception The clash of porcelain, bronze, and various other wares against the floor startled the addled youth on the cushi+on, who began to clutch his head with shrill cries
Lou Zigui’s hand stilled before the ancestral hall’s doors at the shrieks That wasn’t Miss Ning’s voice
“Your Majesty?!” Grand Preceptor Xie ran forward a few steps, shoving aside the officials fro next to the door He pushed open the red sandstone doors engraved with auspicious clouds and entered the ancestral hall Meanwhile, the eunuch had returned to his hiding place beneath the altar The addled youth was huddled up in a ball on the ground, tre nonstop
The ancestral hall wasn’t a place just anyone could enter But nobody cared about the rules now Everyone followed Grand Preceptor Xie inside, only to find hi the fearful youth in his arent tone, he asked, “Your Majesty Your Majesty? Just what has happened to you, Your Majesty?”
The youth was still clutching his head, his ar his face from Grand Preceptor Xie’s eyes
“Lou Zigui!” After looking at the er Xie turned to point at Lou Zigui in rage “Youht!”
Lou Zigui ignored Eer Xie and approached Grand Preceptor Xie and the youth He half crouched on the floor before pulling aside the hands clutching that head A cold s Xiaoyao finished her last sunflower seed and stood up, war up her limbs as she prepared to return to the surface She wasn’t sure how they’d built this underground chah Moreover, she could even hear the conversations happening aboveground Before leaping to the surface, Ning Xiaoyao shook her head It really was a pain to deal with that father and daughter day after day When would she be able to take back the military power in his hands?
On the surface, Lou Zigui asked Grand Preceptor Xie in a cold voice, “Grand Preceptor, are you sure that’s His Majesty?”
