Chen Hong looked at Cui Yingyuan deeply and said, "We won't pursue this matter any further. You know whether it's clear or not. Just do your job well and this matter will be over."

"Yes, father-in-law." Cui Yingyuan did not argue any further, but agreed directly.

"Okay, go ahead!" Chen Hong waved his hand, indicating that Cui Yingyuan could leave.

Cui Yingyuan turned and walked out, glanced at the men who had followed him, and directly ordered: "Zhao Chunqiu, where is Master Xu Xianchun?"

"He just left and headed towards the Embroidered Uniform Guard." Zhao Chunqiu quickly agreed.

"Then let's go too." Cui Yingyuan nodded and said.

After saying this, Cui Yingyuan took his men back.

After returning to the Jinyiwei’s base, Cui Yingyuan found Xu Xianchun as soon as possible.

Looking at Cui Yingyuan who walked in from outside, Xu Xianchun said slowly: "Now you are in charge of the Jinyiwei's affairs."

"Acting in charge," Cui Yingyuan said slowly. "I'd like to ask why things have become like this? Is there any hope for a better future? Is there anything I can do for you, my Lord?"

Cui Yingyuan was very humble, just like how he treated Xu Xianchun before.

Xu Xianchun looked at Cui Yingyuan with a look of satisfaction, and said with a wry smile, "At this point, there's no point in saying anything."

"You don't need to ask anything, and you don't need to worry. This matter is over and it won't affect you. As for me, I can't stay in the Jinyiwei anymore. Just do your job well."

"Why are you so lacking in confidence, Your Excellency?" Cui Yingyuan said quickly, "No matter what mistakes you made, as long as you make amends, you will naturally regain His Majesty's trust. Your Excellency was once highly regarded by His Majesty, so you must not give up easily."

Turning his head to look at Cui Yingyuan, Xu Xianchun narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Where you made a mistake, stand up from there." Cui Yingyuan remained respectful and said with a smile on his face: "If it is inconvenient for you, sir, it's okay. You can tell me the matter and I will do it. I will definitely not let you down."

After a long silence, Xu Xianchun sighed softly and said helplessly, "I originally thought you were different, but I didn't expect that everyone is the same."

"Your Excellency is wrong. I am deeply grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I would naturally not do anything to harm you."

"But there is one thing I must clarify with you, Your Excellency." Cui Yingyuan slowly stood up, the smile on his face fading. He said directly, "That is how I have served you in the past, and I will continue to serve you in the same way in the future. This will not change."

"It's just that I'm very curious about the person who harmed you, my lord. If you can tell me the name of that person, I can go home with peace of mind. If the journey is not smooth, I can also send someone to escort you and ensure your safe journey home."

Xu Xianchun understood in his heart that what Cui Yingyuan said was all bullshit.

What do you mean by serving me like before? No one dared to talk to me like this before.

To put it bluntly, it is like a tiger in a poor position being bullied by a dog.

Xu Xianchun's face turned red instantly, and after a while, he sat down on the chair dejectedly.

At this moment, Xu Xianchun felt extremely regretful. It felt like ants were biting at his heart and lungs, tearing at his liver.

The feeling of being powerless is really uncomfortable. The feeling of being at the mercy of others is really unbearable.

After a long while, Xu Xianchun could only sigh helplessly, looking at Cui Yingyuan and slowly saying, "Why do you want to know? This shouldn't be what His Majesty asked you to investigate, right?"

"Of course, Your Majesty didn't ask me to investigate." Cui Yingyuan didn't hide anything and said directly, "In my opinion, Your Majesty has always been smart and wise. He would never make such a mistake and would never accept money from others at this time."

"Although Your Excellency likes money, he would never do such a foolish thing for it. There must be an inside story here. Your Majesty may not know it, but this humble servant must know it."

"Because I will also have to do what you haven't done yet. What if they use this trick against me? Besides, I am really curious about what made you do this?"

Xu Xianchun looked at Cui Yingyuan, nodded with a smile and said, "I'm afraid there is another reason. You have to explain to the palace, or it can be said that this is a token of your loyalty to Chen Hong."

"Your Excellency is truly worthy of being called an Excellency. You can even think of this." Cui Yingyuan smiled, and said with admiration and emotion, "This makes me even more curious. Who and what led you down this path?"

Cui Yingyuan's words were simple; he was indeed trying to prove his loyalty. But he was only acting as the head of the Imperial Guard, and whether he could hold onto that position was still a question.

Now that Xu Xianchun has done something like this, if he can't find out, or doesn't find out, people will think that he is connected with his ex.

Before he left, Chen Hong had warned him. Although Chen Hong's words were casual, he didn't dare to listen casually. Chen Hong's words clearly meant to make him and Xu Xianchun separate. If he didn't show some sincerity, it wouldn't be a matter of whether he could take over the Jinyiwei.

In such a situation, Cui Yingyuan naturally knew what to do. Besides, the two things mentioned above were not false. Those people could make Xu Xianchun capsize, and they might also capsize him at any time. He must be careful.
