However, the late emperor was jealous and worried that his second brother's achievements would overshadow his own, so five years ago he transferred Zhou Lin to the Huainan area to guard the frontier. Unless summoned, Zhou Lin was not allowed to return to Yong'an, let alone the palace.
It seems that Zhou Lin's return to the palace will inevitably cause a stir.
It seems that things are about to change in Beiliang.
Xiao Heye raised his hand and gently touched the tip of his nose, glancing thoughtfully at the emperor who was sitting restlessly on the dragon throne.
Ugh, what a mess...
But it's better to be random.
Xiao Heye wished for chaos in the world and for everyone in Beiliang to be in dire straits.
Ideally, none of them should have an easy time.
The courtiers whispered amongst themselves, speculating: "The Huainan region is closest to the Rouran. Does the King of Huainan's return mean he's going to war with the Rouran?"
"This...this...I've heard that the Rouran tribe has grown strong and powerful in recent years, and its development has been rapid. If a war were to break out, the outcome would be difficult to predict."

"Hmph... It sounds better than it actually is. What King of Huainan? Have you forgotten how he got that title? The late emperor never granted him a title; it was Zhou Lin who proclaimed himself King of Huainan."
The man continued, "The Huainan region now belongs to Zhou Lin, and he has even declared himself King of Huainan. Think carefully about how ambitious he is. I think his return to the palace this time is definitely not for anything good..."

Everyone fell silent.
(After their romance, Master Xiao embarks on a tale of political intrigue and revenge, introducing another villain: Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin is also a pawn, but Master Xiao is a member of the underworld; watch as these two masters outwit each other.)
