Chapter 11: Taking the Silly Girl Out of the Mansion

“Snapped.”

Bai Hu slapped the folding fan in her hand on the desk and stood up with her hands behind her back: “Although I’m one of the Four Symbols, you should remember that I’m your aunt, and your sister has entrusted you to me.”

“Before the Spring Festival, I’ll be in charge of Tianwu City. You can come to me for any matters.”

“King of Chu has no reason to enter the Martial Guard Division. It won’t take half a stick of incense for the news to reach those people’s ears. You’re not afraid of trouble, are you?” Shen Yian sighed and rubbed his temples.

Bai Hu let out a cold snort: “Trouble? Who dares to cause trouble for me?”

“Yes, yes, no one dares to cause trouble for you, but someone will come to cause trouble for me, the king.” Shen Yian rolled his eyes.

The Martial Guard Division was a sword hung by Emperor Wu himself over the entire martial arts world. Anyone who dared to touch it was seeking death, even if they were Emperor Wu’s own son!@@novelbin@@

“I still have matters to attend to. Consider this folding fan as compensation.”

“What use do I have for a broken fan?”

Bai Hu stood at the door, her feet rooted to the spot: “Treat it as if you’re seeing me. Isn’t that enough?”

“Hmph!”

With a light snort, Bai Hu suddenly disappeared from her original position.

Shen Yian raised an eyebrow. This old woman had become so powerful, no wonder she could become one of the Four Symbols.

“Fu Sheng, what are your chances of winning against her?”

Fu Sheng emerged from the shadows: “Reporting to Your Majesty, five out of ten.”

“Five out of ten? That’s enough.”

Shen Yian smiled meaningfully and opened the folding fan that Bai Hu had left behind with a “slap” sound.

A painting of White Tiger descending from the mountain unfolded, with White Tiger’s fierce and intimidating aura emanating from the fan, revealing a true intent to kill.

This cold and ruthless power struggle wasn’t something that could be resolved by killing a few people, removing some officials, and changing the emperor.

A hundred-year dynasty, a thousand-year clan.

Countless clans and nobles formed a massive interest group, like a giant spider, with their webs stuck to the Great Qing Dynasty’s giant dragon.

Every move the giant dragon made would expose the spider’s bloodthirsty fangs, sucking the dragon’s nutrients.

Even if one giant dragon fell, another would appear to continue feeding them.

“Mendu!!”

“Coming, coming, Your Majesty!” Mendu rushed over from the front courtyard.

“How are the casualties?”

As they left the mansion through the back door, Ye Tiance returned.

The King of Chu’s mansion had been attacked last night, and Emperor Wu was furious, ordering the Ministry of Justice, the Martial Guard Division, and the Metropolitan Government to conduct a joint investigation. Today’s Tianwu City was going to be very lively.

As a result, Ye Tiance returned to find that his granddaughter had been taken out of the mansion by the King of Chu.

Ye Tiance laughed in surprise, not saying much.

He had previously wanted to take Ye Liyan out for a stroll, but she was too stubborn and refused to leave.

It had to be the King of Chu who could make her agree!

Shen Yian and Ye Liyan walked side by side at the front, while Cheng Hai, Jinxiu, and Jinlian followed behind them at a distance of about ten meters, not wanting to disturb the couple’s world.

After leaving the Duke of State’s mansion, they soon arrived at the southern city, where they planned to go to the northern city by passing through the entire southern city.

The southern city was where the high-ranking officials and nobles resided, with streets lined with shops, wine houses, jade and stone stores, silk and porcelain shops, and poetry and calligraphy stores.

Compared to the bustling northern city, this place seemed particularly quiet, with the sun high in the sky, but hardly anyone on the streets, not even patroling soldiers.

Ordinary people didn’t dare to come here, as they might run into high-ranking officials on the streets.

Ye Liyan’s eyes landed on the silk fabrics displayed outside a shop, and she suddenly stopped, her mind racing with thoughts of the King of Chu wearing the clothes she had made.

“What’s wrong? Do you want to take a look?” Shen Yian asked, walking up to her.

Ye Liyan nodded, her mind still filled with the image of the King of Chu wearing her clothes, her ears flushing red.

The shopkeeper heard the sound and hurried out of the shop.

“It really brings honor to our shop to have two distinguished guests come.”

The shopkeeper’s tone was polite, as they had to be skilled in reading people’s faces in this area.

Not to mention the mysterious lady wearing a veil, but the young master in front of them, dressed in fine clothes and exuding an extraordinary aura, was either a noble or a wealthy young master.

Ye Liyan carefully selected a few fabrics, finally choosing a high-quality silk and two pieces of brocade.

“How much?” Shen Yian asked.

After the shopkeeper quoted the price, Ye Liyan’s small hand reached for the small silver bag at her waist, but Shen Yian had already handed over a silver note.

“Pack it up and deliver it to the Duke of State’s mansion.”

The shopkeeper took the silver note, his eyes widening in surprise.

Duke of State’s mansion?

Could it be that the mysterious lady wearing a veil was Ye Liyan, the daughter of the Northern Garrison?

And the young master beside her was none other than the King of Chu?!

The shopkeeper’s mind was racing with excitement.
