"I think so too. If that brat Wei Qingyi dares to scheme against us, I'll teach him a lesson." After reading the letter, Shangguan Hongyu's first thought wasn't that the empire was under threat, but rather that Wei Qingyi was under some kind of threat.
In order to survive, or perhaps to remain on the throne, Wei Qingyi needs to lure Shangguan Hongyu to the capital.
Even knowing it might be a trap, Shangguan Hongyu still wanted to go and see.
With the help of the teleportation array, the two quickly arrived in the capital.
The capital city was as bustling and lively as ever.
Judging from the people on the street, they didn't seem to be facing any major crisis.
"Let's find a place to stay first, and then go find Wei Qingyi tonight," Shangguan Hongyu suggested.
Bian Lang nodded and smiled, "We can also visit Shen Sanmu in between."
Shen Sanmu is no longer the Minister of War, but the current Prime Minister, wielding immense power.
In order to secure his power, Wei Qingyi had no choice but to rely heavily on Shen Sanmu, and Shen Sanmu did indeed do a good job, allowing Wei Qingyi to get a good night's sleep every night.
Many troublesome matters can be perfectly resolved by simply handing them over to Shinobu.
When the two arrived at the Shen residence, Shen Sanmu was not there; only Shen Ruhui was present.
Upon suddenly seeing Bian Lang, Shen Rusui was quite surprised, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.
Even though Shen Ruhui was trying to hide it because of Shangguan Hongyu's presence, some things cannot be hidden.
Shangguan Hongyu could tell at a glance what kind of place Bian Lang held in Shen Ruhui's heart.
"Brother Bian, Sister Hongyu, when did you come to the capital?" Shen Ruhui invited the two of them to her boudoir.
It would be too conspicuous in the living room outside.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Just arrived."
"Have you found a place to stay?" Shen Ruhui asked again.
If not, she can arrange rooms for them at her residence.
Shangguan Hongyu smiled and said, "Ru Sui, there's no need to trouble yourself. We've already found an inn. We've come here to ask Lord Shen some questions."
"My dad probably won't be back until very late." Shen Ruhui wanted to ask if it was something very urgent.
Shangguan Hongyu asked with a smile, "Has Lord Shen been very busy lately?"
“I’ve been very busy, especially lately. Sometimes I’m not home for days at a time.” Shen Ruhui has been very worried about this, always feeling that Shen Sanmu will collapse sooner or later because he’s working so hard.
That kind of intense work would be too much for even a young person to handle, let alone someone as old as Chen Sanmu, who would probably find it even harder to cope.
