"Whatever the contents of the letter, showing it to His Majesty can't be wrong." If it's an important letter and we miss it, Lynn can't bear the responsibility.
Seeing An Honghan put down his chopsticks, Lin En immediately stood to the side. "Your Majesty, a eunuch just brought a letter. Would you like to take a look?"
Xi Xizhi immediately turned her gaze over. She had gotten used to the peaceful days recently and rarely noticed anything new.
Things that An Honghan reviews are usually presented in the form of memorials, right? Why is a letter being used this time?
In fact, Xi Xizhi's doubts were the same as Lin En's doubts.
Which minister in the court doesn't submit their reports to His Majesty in the form of memorials?
When it comes to letters, only fast horses galloping from the border can deliver them.
But now the border is peaceful, and the messenger is not a soldier from the border.
An Honghan did not hesitate at all. He tore off the seal of the letter, took it out, and said, "Perhaps there is news."
Xi Xizhi was immediately startled, "Is it about Old Man Xu's whereabouts?"
I couldn't wait to go over and take a look.
An Honghan glanced at the contents of the letter and said, "It's pretty much true. This letter was sent by Master Feng. He said that he has found the approximate location of the white fox."
Old Xu had been missing for so long, which made Xi Xizhi miss him terribly, especially when his life was threatened. Of course, Xi Xizhi hoped to rescue him as soon as possible.
"Then let's go and meet up with Master Feng now to rescue Old Man Xu!" Xi Xizhi slammed her chopsticks down on the table.
An Honghan raised an eyebrow and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "Not for now."
"Why?!" Xi Xizhi's voice suddenly rose.
Every minute he was delayed meant an extra minute of danger for Old Man Xu.
An Honghan's gaze suddenly shifted, and he stared intently at Xi Xizhi. He shook his head at her and said, "Putting aside the fact that we don't have any accurate information about the White Fox yet, the affairs of the palace alone keep me busy. Even if I were to go to rescue someone, I would need to have Master Feng find the White Fox's hiding place before I could find the time to set off."
This method saves time and allows An Honghan to handle the necessary matters during this period. Why not do it?
A ruler of a country simply doesn't have that much free time to personally handle everything, unless the information is absolutely certain.
Duan Yufei had only recently arrived in the capital, and the marriage had not yet been finalized. How could An Honghan possibly abandon matters of state to search for the whereabouts of Grand Preceptor Xu?
Xi Xizhi suddenly understood. Just as An Honghan said, even if they went now, they would be like headless flies, unable to find their way. Rather than wasting time going there first, it would be better to let Master Feng find the exact hiding place of the white fox before they set off.
Indeed, as the ruler of a country, his mind is extraordinary; he thinks of everything very thoroughly.
Xi Xizhi nodded emphatically, "I'll do whatever you say."
In short, as long as we can rescue Old Man Xu, everything will be fine.
An Honghan handed the letter back to Lin En, "Burn it."
The fewer people who know about the white fox, the better. After all, it's best not to let too many people know about ghosts and spirits, lest it cause confusion among the populace.
"Yes, sir." Lynn took the letter and walked to the stove. The letter gradually approached the flames and sizzled as it quickly caught fire.
Duan Yufei's main purpose in coming to Fengze Kingdom this time was to propose marriage; the matter of marrying the princess will likely have to be postponed.
Arranged marriages are not easy, especially when the two countries are thousands of miles apart. This distance alone can make a simple marriage difficult.
Compared to An Honghan and Xi Xizhi's leisurely lives, Lin En's days were quite busy.
He spent every day running around the palace, taking stock of the gifts Duan Yufei had brought, registering them one by one, and submitting them to An Honghan for review.
Although Huiying Kingdom was not as powerful as Fengze Kingdom, nor as wealthy as Jiu Kingdom, its national strength and military power were definitely superior to other countries. The gifts they brought were also extremely valuable, totaling ten large boxes, containing countless rare and exotic items.
Even Xi Xizhi selected two small items from them and hung them inside the Panlong Hall.
In the following days, Duan Yufei spent almost every day with An Yunyi, a deliberate arrangement by An Honghan to give them more time to develop their relationship. Finally, on the third day, Duan Yufei entered the imperial study to request an audience with An Honghan.
That day, Xi Xizhi happened to be grinding ink for An Honghan in the imperial study. Upon hearing that Duan Yufei was requesting an audience, her eyes immediately lit up with a glint of light, and her hands gradually slowed down. Then, remembering that the emperor did not like her seeing Duan Yufei, she awkwardly turned her head slightly away. However, unable to resist the temptation, she secretly turned her head back, admiring his handsome appearance out of the corner of her eye.
An Honghan had noticed the child's little actions long ago, and his heart sank, but he remained calm.
Xi Xizhi, who did not consider himself a saint, could not resist such a beautiful temptation. As he looked at her, his mind and heart were completely turned towards her.
This time, An Honghan's icy eyes were utterly chilling.
Duan Yufei's appearance has a suffocating quality.
Xi Xizhi's gaze was fixed on his appearance the moment he entered the hall, and every time she looked at him, it was a shock to her soul.
Sure enough, many people were blessed by the heavens.
Putting aside An Honghan's example, this Prince Duan is also an outstanding person.
An Honghan had long noticed that the child's gaze became dazed and infatuated the moment Duan Yufei entered the hall, and a surge of anger rose within him.
I've kept her by my side these past few days to prevent her from sneaking out to meet Duan Yufei. But even the wisest can make a mistake; today, Duan Yufei himself came to request an audience.
Even if he was very dissatisfied, An Honghan would not show it on his face. He reached under the desk, avoiding everyone's gaze, and pinched Xi Xizhi's thigh hard.
The pain snapped Xi Xizhi out of her reverie, and she glared at An Honghan with great displeasure.
It's human nature to love beauty. What's wrong with taking a few extra glances at a handsome guy? She hasn't committed a crime.
Xi Xizhi couldn't understand An Honghan's actions.
He thought to himself, "An Honghan is just jealous of Prince Duan's looks! That's why he can't stand anyone else looking at him!"
cut!
What a petty and narrow-minded man!
Who says only women are petty and narrow-minded? This grown man in front of me is no different!
After muttering a few words under her breath, Xi Xizhi ultimately dared not have a direct and loud argument with An Honghan.
