"Uncle, don't you know yet? Huanglong has been sent back to Shanglin Garden."

"You know, you know...?!!"

Liu Chen, who had casually agreed, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Chu Hui in disbelief. For some reason, Liu Chen's heart started beating faster.

"Since Uncle knows, why are you so shocked?"

Chu Hui picked up his teacup and looked Liu Chen up and down with a half-smile.

"No! I was unaware of this matter!"

Liu Chen hurriedly shook his head and said, "I thought Huanglong was just training and the Imperial Guards were on duty in the palace, but the training has never stopped!" As he said this, Liu Chen looked at Guo Huang and the others.

Guo Huang and his group stared coldly at Liu Chen.

"Your Highness, is there some mistake?"

Liu Chen's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at Chu Hui and spoke.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Hui countered with a question.

"Huang Long deserves credit for the Kogon leak case."

Liu Chen frowned and said, "If Huang Long doesn't go, it will be extremely difficult to arrest the suspects involved in the Southern Army. Not to mention that in addition to this case, there is also a smuggling case, and those hiding in the Southern Army will also be arrested."

"Even if you don't get credit, you shouldn't be expelled from the palace and sent back to Shanglin Garden!"

Liu Chen did have the idea of ​​using Huang Long, but he had no intention of harming Huang Long. He just wanted to use Huang Long's identity to push things forward.

If it weren't for Huang Long's antics, this case of leaking secrets about the imperial examinations would probably still be ongoing, and these students who want to register and participate in the reopened imperial examinations would have to wait even longer.

But now?

Huang Long was sent back to Shanglin Garden.

Some of the sons of the Imperial Guards were promoted to positions in the Southern Army.

There is no harm without comparison.

What are those Imperial Guards supposed to think?

If the Emperor's father-in-law, Huang Kun, is dissatisfied with him, then so be it. After all, they are all relatives of the Emperor, and some conflict is actually beneficial to both sides. But if he is resented by the entire Imperial Guard, then things won't be fun.

Once young people have made up their minds, they won't easily change them.

"Is Uncle trying to say that the Emperor's rewards and punishments are unclear?"

Chu Hui took a sip of tea, put the lid back on the cup, and then slowly said to Liu Chen.

"No no no."

Liu Chen waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I absolutely did not mean that, I just..."

"Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace."

Chu Hui's words seemed to freeze Liu Chen in place, leaving him sitting there in a daze.

“Since returning to the palace with the emperor from Shanglin Garden, I have witnessed all aspects of human life.”

Chu Hui, holding the teacup, said with a hint of mockery, "I just wonder why there are always self-righteous people who think their schemes are so clever, and that others will fall into their traps when they encounter them."

"At first, I really didn't understand."

"Until this case of the leak of secrets by the Emperor, I finally understood the decision my brother made. In the end, it was all for the sake of profit."

"The more attention people pay to something, the less likely my brother is to express his opinion."

“Your Majesty is the supreme ruler who supports this world. If one day Your Majesty becomes disgusted or angry, then who knows what will happen to this world.”

Snapped! ! !

As soon as Chu Hui finished speaking, a crisp sound rang out.

Liu Chen shuddered violently.

His eyes were fixed on the shattered teacup on the ground.

Tea leaves are everywhere.

Tea was everywhere.

At this moment, some of the doubts in Liu Chen's heart were resolved!

No wonder the Military Affairs Department was put in charge of registering and recording the students.

At that moment, Liu Chen felt a surge of gratitude.

Thank you, Chu Hui!

If it weren't for his nephew reminding him, he would have overlooked some things.

"Uncle, Huanglong asked me to pass on a message to you."

While Liu Chen was still in a daze, Chu Hui stood up, lifted his robe, walked to Liu Chen's side, and said with a smile, "Huang Long said that Xie Wu'an's scheme made him understand a lot, and he will remember this kindness."

"Your Majesty...I..."

Liu Chen was speechless for a moment.

Liu Chen understood Huang Long's meaning perfectly. At this moment, Liu Chen felt a little ashamed. If he had known it would be like this, he would have thought of things more thoroughly.

"Uncle, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Chu Hui glanced at Liu Chen, whose expression was complicated, and said with a smile. Then he took out the bamboo fan from his waist, raised his head and walked forward, with Guo Huang and his group following closely behind.

"Ah~"

Liu Chen sighed deeply, inwardly cursing himself. "Liu Chen, Liu Chen, what makes you so arrogant? You've only accomplished so much, and you dare to act like this?!"

……

"Your Highness, did the General really tell you to say those things to the Prince Consort of Wu'an?" Guo Huang, who kept turning back every few steps, saw Liu Chen sitting still and turned around with a slight frown to respectfully ask Chu Hui.

"What? Do you think I would lie?"

Chu Hui unfolded his bamboo fan and looked at Guo Huang, saying...

"I dare not!"

Guo Huang quickly bowed and replied.

"Alright, this is outside the palace, no need for such formalities." Chu Hui stopped and smiled at Guo Huang, saying, "But speaking of which, my uncle has had quite a difficult time."

"There are many things that are not as simple as you think."

"See these students? If it weren't for what we did earlier, they would probably still be waiting indefinitely."

"Living in Yudu is no easy feat!!"

"That's what His Highness said."

Guo Huang lowered his head and replied.

Liu Chen, oh Liu Chen, this is all I can do to help.

It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies.

Chu Hui looked at the tea stall with some emotion. In fact, it wasn't until Huang Long left that Chu Hui suddenly understood his elder brother's intention: the Imperial Guards should know the dangers of the court, but they must never get too involved.

In a sense, Huanglong was destined to return to Shanglin Garden from the very beginning. Only through experience could he understand certain things.

Now that General Huanglong has experienced and understood, it's time for him to return to where he started and continue to reflect on his experiences for the future.

"Your Highness, where shall we go next?"

Seeing that Chu Hui remained silent, Guo Huang glanced around and then whispered.

"Go back to Zongzheng Temple."

Chu Hui said, "Right now, everyone in the central government is focused on the selection of tribute students. As the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan, you should be in your position."

"Yes."

Guo Huang and his party immediately bowed in greeting.

The person who was most unaccustomed to Huang Long's departure was Chu Hui, since Chu Hui would usually tell Huang Long anything.

But things are different now.

Just because you can tell Huang Long doesn't mean you can tell Guo Huang and the others.

Furthermore, Guo Huang and his group will not be able to face themselves easily.

Although Chu Hui knew that everyone is lonely in the end, since no one can accompany you forever, deep down he still resisted that feeling.

Because he foresaw what he would experience in the future, as the emperor's right-hand man, he would often need to appear as a loyal subject, only in this way could he truly help his emperor and thwart the schemes of some people...
