"Alright, all of you can leave now." Zhao Baiyi couldn't help but walk out from the pavilion, and he said with a slightly dissatisfied tone, "It looks like you've done a good job. You haven't done any good work in a whole year, and yet you've managed to make a ruckus here. If I let you capture him, would you be able to ask me something else? "

Although he didn't know the identity of this person, he was either someone who didn't know the rules or someone who dared to interfere in this mess. As a result, when everyone heard the voice, they all moved to the side, clearing a path for them.

"Your subordinate greets the crown prince and the lord." Other than Xia Chenchen and Chen Huayi, the rest of the guards also knelt down and paid their respects.

Zhao Qingyan gestured for Han Yan and the others not to come over, then looked at Xia Fan and said, "All of you can leave."

Xia Fan was startled. "Crown Prince …"

Zhao Qingyan seemed to be angry as well. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "I asked you to step down. Is there a problem with that?"

Xia Fan said with some unwillingness, "But it was just a bit off …"

Chen Huayi sneered, "Almost? Aren't you being too naive? Do you really think you can get anything out of Feng Yunxuan? "You …"

"Shut up." No matter how well-behaved Zhao Qingyan was, it was impossible for his subordinates to keep their calm after hearing what he said over and over again, "Xia Fan, I told you, all of you to leave now. This time, even if I was the one who stopped you from handling the errands, did you really let the Green Robed Thief go just like that? "

Chai saw him angry and did not know what to say.

Chen Huayi could not help but ask, "What's wrong?" Are you waiting for someone to ask you to leave? Shall we go? "

Zhao Qingyan lowered his eyes and suppressed his anger as he shouted, "Han and Chu Zhenye, listen to my orders!"

Han Yan and Chu Zhentian were stunned, they quickly took a step forward and said in unison, "This subordinate is here."

Zhao Qingyan said, "Go and tie up Chen Huayi and find a place to teach him how to be a good guard. If he can't remember what the secret envoy taught him when he entered the palace, then he won't have to stay in the palace. "

With this, everyone was stunned.

Chu Zhentian was startled, "This, this..."

Zhao Qingyan cast a cold glance at him, "What is it? Do you think I'm joking? What are you all doing? In front of so many people, internal strife, bickering, ridicule, and then not listening to my orders. Do you think I'm too uninteresting as a secret envoy, or did the wife allow you to be so unruly? I don't care about Xia Cheng. I didn't promote him, but Chen Huayi did. If I can even ignore Chen Huayi's current state, then I will just go back and resign, so as to not let others find fault with us. "

Everyone was clearly frightened by him, so no one said anything for a while.

Zhao Qingyan said, "Chen Huayi, you better remember what you should do first before apologizing to Senior Xia. Otherwise, get out of the Privy Council with me. "

"Ai ai, Seventh Brother." Zhao Baiyi reached out to grab Zhao Qingyan and advised, "Don't be angry, aren't you usually very forgiving? Don't say such harsh words. "

Jiang Wuyan, who was watching from the side, could not help but smile when she heard this. However, she did not say anything and just looked at Zhao Qingyan.

Zhao Qingyan pulled back his hand and walked forward with large strides. "Don't try to persuade me, I won't listen."

Zhao Baiyi felt that Zhao Qingyan had purposely tapped his wrist a few times with his fingers, and swallowed down the words that he was about to say. He followed Zhao Qingyan's actions and strength.

Jiang Wuyan looked at Han Yan and said with a smile, "Your lord wants me to tie Chen Huayi up and take him away. Let's do it, shall we?" After saying that, he turned around and left with Zhao Qingyan and her brother.

"Seventh Brother, what are you doing?" Zhao Baiyi followed Zhao Qingyan back to the pavilion and asked in confusion. However, he was stunned when Zhao Qingyan turned around.

There was no anger on Zhao Qingyan's face. Instead, he smiled and said, "What? Second Brother wouldn't really think that I'm angry? "

Zhao Baiyi didn't know what he meant. "You're not angry?"

Jiang Wuyan slowly walked back from outside and sat in her previous seat. She sighed and said, "I'm just pretending."

Zhao Baiyi was stunned. "You're pretending?"

Jiang Wuyan shrugged her shoulders, "He must be pretending. It's not easy to get angry at his temper."

Zhao Qingyan said, "This is the only way to protect Chen Huayi. If he continues to cause trouble, Thirteenth Uncle will definitely not let him off easily. I might as well punish him directly."

Jiang Wuyan asked with a smile that was not a smile, "Not only Chen Huayi, but Xia Fan as well, right? If he confronted Bai Zhen in front of so many people, it would be troublesome to deal with him later on. Did you blame him for what he did to him? It's been hard on you. "

Zhao Qingyan raised an eyebrow, "Do you think it's that easy to become a secret envoy?"

Zhao Baiyi asked with a little confusion, "I remember that Chen Huayi can be considered to be a very efficient person within the inner court. I've never heard of any erroneous tasks in his hands. Why did he make so many mistakes this time?"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head. "As long as it's related to Xia Fan, he'll lose his cool."

Zhao Baiyi looked at Bai Zhen, who was busy apologizing to his guests outside, and muttered, "It seems like today is going to end on a bad note. Come all the way here …"

Zhao Qingyan said, "At least I've seen the singing and dancing of the Grand Pavilion Master Feng Yunxuan. At least I've had a good look at her. That's enough."

Zhao Baiyi said helplessly, "That's the only way." It seemed like the 'will not miss the good show' that the second minister had spoken of, and the good show would be this Feng Xuan Lord. Who would have thought that this Feng Xuan would bring trouble instead of a good show. I wonder how much he will lose if we cause a ruckus like this? "

Zhao Qingyan's eyes held a hint of a smile. He seemed to be deep in thought. "It's hard to say. Maybe we won't suffer any losses. We might even make a huge profit."

Zhao Baiyi stared blankly for a moment before asking, "You mean the two of us?"

Zhao Qingyan said half-jokingly, "Second Brother is really smart this time. He actually guessed it right. He didn't show any concern for Master Bai's safety, but he was obviously showing favor to Master Bai. People would notice it sooner or later. This way, it would be equivalent to helping him build up his momentum. "

Zhao Baiyi rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Don't think that your second brother is that stupid, okay? I rushed out before I could think about it, but that doesn't mean I don't know what happened now. "

Zhao Qingyan smiled. "I didn't think much before I rushed out. I thought you were here to help Master Bai."

Having his thoughts exposed, Zhao Baiyi could not help but awkwardly smile. "Second Brother owes you a favor this time."

Zhao Qingyan tilted his head and glanced at him before smiling leisurely, "If this is considered as owing a favor, then how much do I owe Second Brother?"

Zhao Baiyi probed, "Then we don't owe him anything?"

Zhao Qingyan nodded, "Of course." He covered his mouth and yawned lightly. He shrank back into his chair and mumbled, "I'm a bit sleepy. I'm going to sleep for a bit. Don't forget to call me when it's over."

Zhao Baiyi said helplessly, "Go to sleep." There's a low couch over there. Why don't you go and sleep there? Seventh Brother? Yun Mo? "

Zhao Qingyan was curled up on the chair with his head leaning on the back of it. His long eyelashes were still trembling, but it looked like he had fallen asleep.

Zhao Baiyi raised his head in a daze. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Wuyan, who had also just raised her gaze from Zhao Qingyan. He could not help but laugh.

"You can go first. I need to talk to him for a bit." Han Yan stood at the door and waited for Chu Zhenye to untie Chen Huayi before speaking.

Chu Zhentian was startled for a moment, but he didn't ask anything. He nodded and left. After all, they had been in the inner court together for a few years. Although they didn't know each other well, they knew when to back off.

Han Yan stepped into the room, closed the door, and leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. "Is there a need for you to do this?"

"It's necessary, why isn't it necessary?" Chen Huayi harrumphed and found a chair to sit on before sitting up and turning his head away.

Han Yan silently looked at him for a while before saying in a low voice, "You're making it hard for your young prince to do this."

Chen Huayi's gaze wavered for a moment before he said, "That's right. I know that young prince would find it very difficult to do so, but I just can't let go of my resentment."

Han Yan asked, "Between the dead and the living, between hatred and kindness, which one is more important in the past and in the future?"

Chen Huayi smirked, his voice was no longer as heavy and frivolous as it was in the past. "Without the past, where did I get my present? If I just abandon those who once disregarded me, those who gave me the chance to live till today, those people who disregarded my unforgettable hatred, then what is the difference between me and a beast? Since the young prince has helped me, does that mean that my master has no kindness at all? "

Han Yan laughed, his smile contained a hint of ridicule: "Then what do you want? Kill Chai Pao? Kill this fool who didn't know what he had done? You're relieved to see him die? "

"I …" Chen Huayi was speechless.

Han Yan said, "If you really hate him to the bone and can't live with him, then you can't tolerate him for so long. If you do not have the hatred that you have to kill him for, why do you have to be so obsessed with revenge? "

Chen Huayi sneered twice. "Don't make it sound like you understand. What do you understand?"

Han Yan smiled. "I've always been seeking my own life. There's nothing I can't tolerate. I have talked eight times more than you have, so I understand much more than you do. "

Chen Huayi smirked as his laughter turned cold, "What you live is your life and what I live is my life. You and I are completely different people, do you care if I die or live? "

"No, we're actually the same kind of people." Han Yan shook his finger, a smile appearing in his eyes. "They are all homeless people after leaving the inner palace."

Chen Huayi's pupils shrank as he didn't reply.

Han Yan shrugged his shoulders. "Actually, there's nothing much to say. You're just confused, not stupid." That's all I have to say, I won't say anything more. See you another day. "

"Korean!"

Han Yan was about to open the door when he heard the voice and turned his head, "Huh?"

Chen Chengyi sighed lightly, "Help me apologize to the young prince."

Han Yan laughed, "That's easy to deal with. A box of Chestnut Cake, I'll definitely bring it to you."

Chen Huayi was stunned for a moment before smiling helplessly. "Sure."

Han Yan pushed the door open and walked out, casually saying, "It's a deal." Closing the door behind him, he unexpectedly made a 'tsk' sound and asked, "Isn't this Deputy General Shen?"
