Elder Li went to beg for an audience at the palace before it was even daylight Ning Xiaoyao had just warmed up her covers, but was now forced to crawl out of bed, yawning, as Shadowgale told her the news
Shadowgale said, “Your Majesty, this servant tried to coax Elder Li to wait until it was brighter, but he insisted on seeing you”
“If he wants to, then let hi in the city probablyXiaoyao atteed a semblance of a bun
Shadowgale glanced at the bun atop Ning Xiaoyao’s head Though the style fit Ning Xiaoyao as a person, it didn’t suit his identity as the e Xiaoyao redo his hair, but he didn’t have the skills
Grabbing a sugar bean to plop in herXiaoyao asked, “Where’s Supre with Elder Li
Shadowgale replied, “Supreme Commander went to meet with Xie Anwu Does Your Majesty want to summon him?”
Ning Xiaoyao patted her chest That’s right, Xie Anwu He’s the son of Grand Preceptor Xie’s concubine that Supreht to the palace to ot all about him
“Shall this servant go call Supreale asked
“Forget it,” Ning Xiaoyao replied “Windy, you coood to disturb other people’s conversations, after all”
Shadowgale had no idea how His Majesty’s mind worked An i Xiaoyao straightened out her clothes as she thought of Elder Li’s thin, never-changing-for-a-thousand-years-face She had a races with Elder Li’s wife as soon as possible
“Your Majesty?” Shadowgale saw that Ning Xiaoyao was still standing by the door and spoke up
“Let’s go,” Ning Xiaoyao said, butforwards
“Your Majesty!” Shadowgale quickly ran out of the door after her
“It’s alright,” Ning Xiaoyao said as she picked herself up from the floor
“There’s dust on your face…” Shadowgale wanted to say, but after seeing His Majesty cup some rainwater to wash it off, he shut up
“I have to give old gra Xiaoyao said, sipping a few palht be at fault, but so is the Grand Preceptor, right?”
Shadowgale was all straight faced as he asked, “Where did Your Majesty go wrong?”
“I was too greedy,” Ning Xiaoyao said “After coveting so much of the Grand Preceptor’s land and houses, ouldn’t he lose his temper?”
Shadowgale couldn’t accept Ning Xiaoyao talking about herself like that and immediately moved to speak up, but she beat him to it
“Enough, Windy You don’t have to say anything,” Ning Xiaoyao waved her hand at hi”
“……” said Shadowgale What ‘everything’ do you understand?
Ning Xiaoyao took the umbrella from Mute Nanny’s hands and opened it up to enter the rain Mistakes are mistakes, you have to own up to them
—
Elder Li had been brought to a s Xiaoyao entered, she didn’t wait for hiramps, have a seat”
Elder Li still paid Ning Xiaoyao a respectful bow and thanked her for her grace before sitting in the chair on her left Ning Xiaoyao observed Elder Li’s face, but couldn’t discern anything fro Xiaoyao as well, and felt that she didn’t look like soht
“Your Majesty,” Elder Li said after withdrawing his gaze, “Many officials wanted to come, but this official stopped them to speak with Your Majesty alone”
“Oh,” Ning Xiaoyao replied “Then old gramps, speak up I’ll hear you out”
Elder Li glanced at Shadowgale, as standing next to Ning Xiaoyao, and she said, “Windy’s not an outsider Old gra”
Elder Li said, “This official would like to ask Your Majesty, ere the causes of the fires last night?”
“Urk,” Ning Xiaoyao gulped “I got quite a bit of the Grand Preceptor’s houses and other deeds The Grand Preceptor didn’t want to give them to me, so he sent his men to burn down the most valuable shops”
Elder Li then asked, “Then as there an insurrection with the refugees?”
“Because of Xie Anshi+, ah,” Ning Xiaoyao replied “He heard the refugees badhis Xie Clan and burned a bunch of theot mad and killed their way to Tao Chen’s house, where he was staying”
Elder Li said, “Your Majesty, what did Supreme Commander do?”
“Supreale Did Supre bad?
Shadowgalethe lands outside the capital, so I don’t know”
Ning Xiaoyao pursed her lips Well, I was at the palace, so I have no clue, either
Elder Li saw that Ning Xiaoyao had fallen silent and said, “How about this official put it this as Supre?”
“Nope,” Ning Xiaoyao hastened to say “Supreees, so how could he stir them up?”
“……” said Elder Li Is poison the only way to stir up a crowd?
Ning Xiaoyao was still lost “Old gra that?”
“If Supreees as tools in a scheave Ning Xiaoyao a piercing stare “Your Majesty, what do you think?”
Ning Xiaoyao considered the question and found that Elder Li’s words made sense
“Your Majesty,” Elder Li continued “Ruling a countrypeople’s hearts as well You should keep able officials at your side and distance the small and petty men Only then can the country prosper”
