The young eunuch said fearfully, “Servant, the servant just heard the news.”

Concubine Han said sharply, “Go! Call the people around the Crown Prince!”

“Yes, yes!”

The young eunuch tumbled and scrambled out.

“No need to call, it’s true.”

Accompanied by a deep voice, a man dressed in a black cloak stepped out of the darkness.

Concubine Han gave a look to the head eunuch beside her.

The head eunuch understood and led the two trusted palace maids out of the hall, closing the door from the outside.

Concubine Han glanced at the man. Her expression was no longer as disdainful as it was in front of the servants, but given the gravity of the situation, she could not muster a kind look.

“You’re here.” She said indifferently, “What on earth happened?”

The man in the black cloak sat cross-legged in front of her, “It’s a troublesome fellow.”

Concubine Han showed a hint of surprise, “There aren’t many people who can trouble you.”

The man in the black cloak sighed slowly, “It’s the advisor from the Crown Prince’s residence. This was my oversight. I failed to kill him with one strike, and he escaped. The Crown Prince went to capture him but fell into Shangguan Yun’s trap.”

Concubine Han asked, “It was Shangguan Yun?”

The man in the black cloak said blandly, “It might also be the Eldest Grandson. In any case, both mother and son were involved. The plan wasn’t flawless, but it took advantage of human nature to the extreme. Additionally, the National Master Hall played a very intriguing role in this affair.”

Concubine Han frowned and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

The man in the black cloak said, “Given the National Master’s position, he could have stopped the Second Prince from searching the National Master Hall, but he didn’t. I think he did it on purpose.”

Concubine Han said in disbelief, “Are you saying the National Master colluded with Shangguan Yun? Impossible! The downfall of Shangguan Yun and the Xuanyuan Family was all thanks to the National Master!”

The man in the black cloak sighed and slowly said, “Your Grace, the more impossible a matter seems, the more likely it is to catch you unprepared. You are too entangled in it to see clearly, while I, as an outsider, can see it plainly. Even if the Sovereign has a slight suspicion about the role the National Master Hall played in this, he probably won’t deposed the Second Prince as the Crown Prince on the spot.”

After calming down, Concubine Han snorted coldly, “So what? No matter how far the National Master Hall reaches, can they reach this palace? I don’t care what deal Shangguan Yun and the National Master made in the dark, as long as she dares to regain her princess identity, I have a way to deal with her!”

The man in the black cloak kindly advised, “Shangguan Yun is no longer the same as she was ten years ago, Your Grace must not be careless.”

Concubine Han said disdainfully, “Just a mere princess, even her mother, Xuanyuan Hanyang, was defeated by me! The Empress couldn’t outdo me, does she think being a princess makes her formidable?”

The man in the black cloak lifted his teacup, “Your Grace’s skillful maneuvering is undoubtedly the best within the six palaces.”

Concubine Han sneered, “In palace intrigue, I have never lost!”

The moon was bright and the stars sparse.

An old, rickety carriage clattered its way to the city gate outside of Shengdu.

The guarding soldier stopped the carriage, “Halt! Who goes there?”

The coachman halted the carriage.

A stern-looking old man with an air of sage-like wisdom drew the curtain aside and handed over a document, “Could you please make an exception for us, we are in a hurry to enter the city.”

The soldier opened the document and looked at it, “You are a tutor from Lingbo Academy? What brings you out of the city?”

The old man smiled, “Ah, I went back to my hometown to visit relatives.”

“Close the city gate!”

A soldier inside the city shouted sternly.

Usually after the city gate is closed, no one is allowed to enter the city anymore.

The old man slipped a money pouch to the soldier.

The soldier weighed it in his hand, and the heft was very satisfactory.

He discreetly tucked the purse into his pocket, then said solemnly, “Recently, many incidents have occurred in Shengdu, so everyone entering must be strictly checked. According to the rules, I should examine your travel permit, but the guard responsible for that finished his duty a quarter of an hour ago. However, seeing that you are old and traveling has been inconvenient, I’ll make an exception for you. Wait, who else is in the carriage?”

The old man answered calmly, “My wife.”

The soldier peeked inside the curtain.

He saw an elderly woman in plain clothes holding a jar of preserved fruits and munching on them.

“What are you looking at?” The old lady glared at him fiercely.

The soldier was taken aback by the scolding.

He had to check the household registration to verify they were a couple.

At this moment, the old lady’s back itched, and she wanted to scratch it.

As soon as she lifted her hand, the old man beside her instinctively shielded his head!

The soldier: “…”

Uh… one doesn’t develop such reflexes without decades of oppression.

No need to check, if these two aren’t a real couple, I’ll chop off my head!
