With Master Fang's love for the country and the people, even if Yan Wang is absent, we can still smoothly settle the refugees and continue to go out to battle as usual - you must think carefully. Yan Wang's ambition is as clear as day. With his high status, sooner or later, he will try every method to oppress us, planting his own people in. If we continue to let him run rampant, eating and devouring, one day, you and I, and all of our families will be in danger of losing our lives."

The crowd immediately echoed this sentiment.

"Yan Wang, though talented, acts too radically. If he is allowed to go on like this, I'm afraid it will be a disaster to the country and the people."

"Master Fang cannot be lenient anymore. If he is allowed to take office once again, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate us..."

Fang Qin sighed, stretched out his hand to suppress the murmur of the whole room, turned to the trusted confidant beside him and said, "Go and fetch 'that man'."

A brewing storm was gathering once again.

Completely unaware of this, Chang Geng left the deep palace and returned to the Marquis' Manor. It was unknown what Li Feng had said to him, but he looked to be in a good mood. As soon as he got home, he found Gu Yun to glue himself to, refusing to let go and delightfully eating his dinner.

Gu Yun did not ask him what Li Feng said when he invited him into the palace. He could guess from his observation. He knocked off Yan Wang's hand that wasn't paying attention to carrying his bowl and chopsticks but climbed on his thigh. He inadvertently said, "When are you going to return to the court to work?"

Chang Geng rubbed the back of his hand and picked up more food for Gu Yun in an effort to please him. He looked at him absently and said, "I will after a few days rest. The Emperor said that he does not have much energy right now and wants me to return to my position as soon as possible. Zi Xi, you should eat more."

Gu Yun waved his hand: "It's already too late, only have a few bites. It would be uncomfortable to eat too much. Have you heard about Jia Lai Ying Huo sending someone?"

"Mm," Chang Geng nodded. He stopped him from fetching the teacup and gave him a bowl of soup instead. "How to negotiate, it still needs Marshal Gu to have the final say."

"When a beast is seriously injured, it often pretends to be dying, luring the enemy to lay down their defense, then delivering a violent attack. Be careful." As Gu Yun said this, he looked at Chang Geng, blowing the vegetable bits in the soup bowl away and drinking it.
