The Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Palace.

study.

On the dragon's desk, apart from some piled-up memorials, a human skin mask was prominently placed on the table.

If Chu Qinghe and Qu Feiyan were in this room at this moment, they would definitely recognize at a glance the person sitting in front of the dragon table as Gongzi Yu, whom they had seen several months ago.

However, unlike before, Gongzi Yu was no longer wearing the white robes he usually wore, but instead donned a dragon robe.

Her white hair was dyed jet black and then bound with a golden crown.

Whenever Gongzi Yu finished reviewing a memorial, he would hand it to Mingyue Xin beside him. After Mingyue Xin glanced at the memorial, she would decide whether to leave it somewhere on the table or simply place it in the wooden bucket made of golden nanmu wood below.

Besides the two people, Bai Xiaosheng was also present in the room at this moment.

He was wearing a eunuch's robe.

However, Bai Xiaosheng's smooth and neat white beard seemed out of place with the eunuch's clothes.

After a long while, Gongzi Yu handed the memorial he had just annotated to Mingyue Xin, then put down his brush and unconsciously let out a soft breath.

With a slight lift of his gaze, Gongzi Yu looked at Bai Xiaosheng, who was sipping tea and eating some dried fruit beside him, and shook his head, saying, "Since ancient times, you are probably the only minister who has ever watched the emperor review memorials while leisurely sipping tea on the side!"

In response to Gongzi Yu's words, Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and said, "Your Majesty wishes to do everything personally, so why should I disturb Your Majesty's enjoyment?"

As he spoke, Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the wooden barrel, which was already half full, and said, "However, nearly 30% of the memorials submitted in the past few days have been thrown into this barrel. It's quite a waste!"

Upon hearing this, Gongzi Yu said slowly, "Using it for firewood at night is making the best use of it."

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "That is indeed a good place for these memorials."

After a pause, Bai Xiaosheng looked at Gongzi Yu and said, "I thought that after Zhu Wushi died, you would eliminate all of Zhu Wushi's subordinates."

Gongzi Yu shook his head and said, "Over the years, Zhu Wushi has been using the Dragon Guard Manor to collect intelligence, but his main focus has been on gathering dirt on the civil and military officials in the court. Zhu Wushi's so-called subordinates are just people he has been blackmailed with dirt on to get rid of some bad apples. If the others are killed as well, there will probably be too many empty positions in the court. It would be too much of a waste."

"When the time comes, when Brother Chu lets his beloved take over, he'll probably have a headache."

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and said, "You seem to be quite open with this young friend Chu."

Gongzi Yu chuckled and said, "The most important thing between friends is to be sincere. Otherwise, Brother Chu would not have told me about the Bad People and Ling Donglai of the Great Song Dynasty before taking action against Zhu Wushi, so that I could be on guard in advance."

Then, Gongzi Yu got up and sat down next to Bai Xiaosheng. He looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "In recent years, your Bai Xiaoge has expanded its intelligence network to cover the Tang Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty. Regarding the Bad People, is it really as Brother Chu said, that there may be experts who have reached the Celestial Realm or above?"

When asked by Gongzi Yu, Bai Xiaosheng replied without hesitation, "I don't know."

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Xiaosheng continued, "I do know something about the Bad People, but according to the information from my Bai Xiaoge Pavilion, the Bad People only appeared after the Li Clan took over Chang'an and became emperor. Originally, I thought the Bad People might have been secretly established by the Li Clan."

"But if we follow what you said, young friend Chu, if the Bad People can successfully recruit someone like Ling Donglai, no matter what the conditions are, then the Bad People's foundation is far beyond what ordinary people think, and may even be above the Northern Shaolin Temple in the Great Song Dynasty."

In response, Gongzi Yu let out a soft sigh and said, "It seems that we have been blinded by the schemes of the Ming Dynasty over the years and never thought that there was such a force in this world."

However, at that moment, a peculiar sound suddenly came from outside the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Bai Xiaosheng slowly got up and walked outside.

A moment later, when Bai Xiaosheng returned to the room, he had an extra piece of paper in his hand.

After glancing at the note handed to him by Bai Xiaosheng, Gongzi Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Brother Chu has already set off for the Tang Dynasty?"

After sitting down again, Bai Xiaosheng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "It seems that even my young friend Chu is having trouble keeping these bad guys at ease."

Gongzi Yu glanced at the note in his hand, a playful glint in his eyes.

"It seems that Brother Chu has been hiding his true intentions even more deeply than I imagined!"

Upon hearing Gongzi Yu's words, Bai Xiaosheng immediately understood what Gongzi Yu meant.

Chu Qinghe's trip to the Tang Dynasty is clearly aimed at those rogues.

However, the situation of these bad guys is still unclear. Even Gongzi Yu and Bai Xiaosheng, after deducing from the information previously given by Chu Qinghe, felt a sense of unease upon closer examination.

Even under such circumstances, Chu Qinghe dared to go to the Tang Dynasty.

Given Chu Qinghe's past actions and demeanor, how could he dare to so openly take all his concubines and maids to the Tang Dynasty without a certain level of confidence?

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Bai Xiaosheng said, "Although I don't know what kind of trump cards Young Friend Chu has, given Young Friend Chu's character, I'm afraid these bad guys will be in quite a bit of trouble next."

Gongzi Yu chuckled softly, then reached out and pulled the human skin mask from the table into his own hand. He then said to Mingyue Xin, "Don't bother. Let's leave the rest to Elder Bai. Let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden."
