106 Ning Fus Orders (2/2)
As he turned around to fish off in the direction of the Imperial Palace, he heard Ning Fu's voice.
”Head Commander, I don't need to remind you to keep everything that you heard tonight to yourself, do I?”
He understood what the other person was implying, snorted at his words and left.
Turning towards Zhou Sheng, Ning Fu cajoled, ”You should also go back to the manor.”
When Zhou Sheng made as if to interrupt, he cut him off before he could get his words out.
”I can see that you are worried about His Majesty because you care for him and seem to have been with him for a long time.”
At Zhou Sheng's look, he continued, ”You also saw that His Majesty isn't in a good mood and has left to roam the streets all by himself. He clearly wants to have some time for himself to sort out his thoughts and feelings.”
”Brother, …”
”No, Zhou Sheng. Just trust me on this. Listen to me just this once. No matter how close you are to His Majesty, you simply can't flout and ignore the Imperial orders all the time even if they are in consideration for our liege lord.”
From the stubborn title of Zhou Sheng's face, Ning Fu knew the other person was adamant and wouldn't budge easily until and unless he was assured of the monarch's safety and well-being.
Signing to himself, he patted the boy on the shoulder and when Zhou Sheng turned his troubles eyes towards him, he softly answered.
”Don't worry. I won't leave the monarch by himself in such tense times. I'll catch up to him and follow him at a distance. I'll keep him safe. So, you return back to the manor.”
At Ning Fu's words, Zhou Sheng heaved a sigh of relief and dragged his steps to go back to the manor. His slow speed and backward balances clearly showed his reluctance.
”Also, when you go back, tell father to look into all the first and the second rank Imperial officials - military as well as civil and find out if they have formed any cliques between themselves or joined the fight under the banner of another Imperial clan member.”
Finished with his words, Ning Fu activated his own inner martial arts and leaked into the dark night to find the monarch - all the while hoping and praying that nothing untoward had happened in the meantime. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
