Chapter 1933: Chapter 1930: The Answer

"Suddenly transferred from the Ministry of Revenue to the Ministry of War."

"If you are interested, Uncle Wang, you can mentor Lord Chu. Although Lord Chu is a scholar, his martial prowess is quite impressive." Prince Rong deliberately provoked him, saying.

King of Huainan chewed on the name Chu Heng, and honestly shook his head at the words: "It’s not a bad thing for Lord Chu to enter the Ministry of War. As for mentoring him, I am not qualified. Moreover, I am returning to the capital to report on my duties and won’t stay for long."

Prince Rong heard this, his eyes flashed, but he quickly calmed down. What he implied was that he posed no danger, harbored no disloyalty, and neither trusted nor doubted him.

This was not something he could control.

"Alright, Uncle Wang, go inside." Prince Rong stopped outside the Imperial Study, not intending to go in together.

In fact, it was indeed so.

After He Dequan went in to inform Emperor Xuanming of the arrival of King of Huainan and others, Emperor Xuanming only summoned King of Huainan alone.

Prince Rong stood outside the hall, watching the figure of King of Huainan, deep in thought.

Could it be that King of Huainan really had no connection with the people of the Southern Border?

Meanwhile,

King of Huainan entered the hall and paid his respects to Emperor Xuanming, who sat at the top.

Emperor Xuanming laughed heartily, "Rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." King of Huainan stood up, seeing Emperor Xuanming descend from the top, not showing any signs of suspicion on his face.

"You’ve worked hard in the Northern Region, my loyal subject," Emperor Xuanming said with a smile.

"Serving the people on behalf of Your Majesty is my duty."

"This time, my loyal subject, it’s rare for you to return. Tomorrow, I will personally host a banquet for you,"

King of Huainan naturally wouldn’t refuse this, as it was an honor from Emperor Xuanming. He hastily bowed with respect: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will certainly arrive on time."

He had not bent down when he was supported upright.

Emperor Xuanming said with a smile: "This time, I brought you back because there’s an issue I want to discuss with you."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lay down my life."

"Perhaps you’ve also heard about the former Saintess of the Southern Border. After pondering for several days, I do not trust their testimonies. You are a pillar of my dynasty, and to doubt you lightly would undermine the foundation of the nation. Moreover, the Beirong Prince is still in the capital, and the trouble in the Southern Border is a minor issue; resolving it privately is the right path."

"As for the matter of the former Saintess of the Southern Border at your residence, I entrust it to you," Emperor Xuanming patted King of Huainan’s shoulder: "Do not disappoint me, my loyal subject."

King of Huainan remained solemn, suddenly kneeling down, "Your Majesty, it is my lack of discernment that brought about such trouble. I will resolve this matter and provide an account to Your Majesty and the people."

Emperor Xuanming squinted, concealing his expression, merely smiled: "I naturally trust you."

After exchanging a few more words, King of Huainan left the Imperial Study.

His honest and sturdy face showed not the slightest sign of emotion.

He also realized that by kneeling down, without needing explanation, he had already indicated that he was aware of the former Southern Border Saintess disguising herself as Consort Yun.

If he does not account to the Emperor, neither he nor his family’s days will be easy...

Prince Rong watched the departing figure of King of Huainan, eyes slightly narrowed with scrutiny, but quickly withdrew his gaze.

Soon after, Prince Rong was called into the Imperial Study.

It’s unknown what the two discussed, but Prince Rong’s steps were noticeably lighter than before.

The subtle difference would only be noticed by those who knew him well.
