As soon as the chair was delivered, Zhao Huan sat down, and the eunuch Lü Lu hurriedly leaned close to Yuan Xiu's ear.
"What???"
Yuan Xiu immediately glanced at Wang Ren.
Wang Ren trembled at the thought of being suddenly stared at by the emperor.
"General Wang..."
Wang Ren immediately knelt down, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Your subject is here!"
Yuan Xiu asked in confusion, "You didn't receive any news?"
Wang Ren was completely baffled. He glanced at Wen Tai, who immediately avoided his gaze.
He shook his head and said, "No!"
Yuan Xiu coughed lightly and said, "A urgent report has been sent from Yan Chuan."
Zhao Huan opened his eyes slightly and pricked up his ears.
Yuan Xiu looked at Wang Ren, but said to Lü Lu, "You speak."
"yes……"
Lu Lu hunched over and said, "This urgent report says that last night... Zhao Cheng, the son of the Right Chancellor, and Wang Yufeng, the son of General Wang, had a violent clash that resulted in multiple casualties. Wang Yufeng and... Chen Yuxian, the Vice Minister of War, unfortunately died."

"It wasn't just Wang Yufeng who died, but also Chen Yuxian, the Vice Minister of War. This man... is the Southern Zhou spy you were just talking about?"
Yuan Xiu asked, "Lu Lu, did the urgent report provide a detailed explanation of the cause of death?"
Lu Lu said, "It is said that Chen Yuxian and Wang Yufeng were in cahoots. Chen Yuxian was killed by the guards of the Right Prime Minister's mansion while trying to help Wang Yufeng."
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials were taken aback!
Wen Tai frowned.
Yuan Xiu burst out laughing, raising his hands and saying, "Wasn't it said that Chen Yuxian and the Right Chancellor were bosom friends? How come he was killed by the Right Chancellor's son??"
