This is a matter concerning the Emperor's harem; they cannot interfere.
"General Zhao, who do you think is suitable to receive King Qiling?"
The Emperor snapped out of his thoughts and asked Zhao Shijie.
"Your Majesty, I think Lin Chenglie is very suitable."
Zhao Shijie cupped his hands and spoke the truth.
"Lin Shijie? Lin Yuxin's older brother?"
The emperor also remembered that he had made a contribution in the last bandit suppression campaign.
"Exactly!"
Zhao Shijie replied.
The Emperor glanced at him sideways. Did this old fool think I didn't know that Lin Chenglie was his grandson?
"You old scoundrel, you sure know how to recommend people. Fine, I'll do you this favor and send him."
The Emperor didn't take it to heart, after all, Lin Yuxin was working for him and had been away from home for so long, so it would be good to let her family go and check on her so that they could rest assured.
Besides, his son is still in Lin Yuxin's hands, and he still needs Lin Yuxin to help him take care of his son! Now that he's back in the palace, he's just another ingrate!
The Emperor's little scheme is quite cunning.

"Falcon!"
"master!"
A man dressed in black and masked appeared in the study and knelt in the hall.

The Royal Guards are loyal only to the Emperor, and very few people know about them.
"Send people to monitor Consort Xiao and the Crown Prince. If there is any unusual activity, report it to me."
The Emperor spoke in a cold voice.
"yes!"
The falcon bowed its head in response, then darted away.
The Emperor looked down at the memorial in his hand, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. The Xiao family had overstepped their bounds; they should be chopped off!
