The group followed Shu Yan and calmly went through security.
Then the bodyguards who were already waiting in the parking lot came up and led their respective bosses to their cars.
“Butler He,” the superhuman said as he watched the group enter the car, “Shu Yan enveloped everyone in his spiritual power. I didn’t hear a single word from these dozen or so people who walked by. This is against the rules!”
"Please understand what the word 'rules' really means in the palace." Steward He stood there calmly, but his words were unquestionable. "It would be against the rules if the Emperor and Empress found out. If the Emperor and Empress don't know, then I am the rule here."
The superhuman stepped forward, wanting to argue, but Butler He frowned and said, "Stop. The Empress only asked you to investigate the psychology of tonight's guests, not me. Please stand a meter away from me."
The superhuman was provoked by his condescending tone: "Steward He, aren't you afraid I'll tell the Emperor and Empress what just happened?"
Butler He gave a cold smile and made a "please" gesture: "Go."
His fearless demeanor stunned the superhuman for a moment.
Just then, another group of people arrived on the conveyor belt. He turned his head angrily, ignoring Steward He who was making a big deal out of nothing.

In the car, Tao Yao was watching the video projected by Shu Yan.
The image shows a girl dressed in violet, the same girl they had seen at the entrance of the combat training center at noon.
Previously, Shu Yan mistook her for a paparazzi following and secretly taking pictures. Another girl who was with her showed enthusiasm as a fan of Shu Yan at noon.
If two coincidences happen in one day, it's no longer a coincidence.
Shu Yan was called away by Liao Zifei shortly after entering the house that evening. While he was talking with the group of people in the circle, he caught a glimpse of Luo Zilin, whom he had met at noon.
As a person with psychic abilities, having a photographic memory is practically a basic skill.
Shu Yan thought it over and quickly concluded that this woman should not be on the royal family's invitation list, whether because of her special abilities or her aristocratic family background.
Something unusual must be going on.
Shu Yan followed Luo Zilin directly.
There were many guests tonight, and Luo Zilin's obviously different temperament attracted the attention of many young ladies and gentlemen from prominent families. She was looked at and scrutinized so much that she didn't notice Shu Yan following her all the way.
In the video, Luo Zilin, standing on the balcony, meets Steward He from the palace.
Tao Yao looked at the video and frowned slightly: "I can't hear what the two of them are saying."
Shu Yan was taking the photo inside the palace hall, while the two of them were standing on a balcony separated by a thick glass door.
Having served in the palace for many years, Steward He naturally knew where it was safe to discuss matters.
From this angle of the door crack, if Shu Yan hadn't told him that Luo Zilin was going to see Butler He, even Butler He's appearance wouldn't have been clearly captured.
With a huge secret right in front of them, watching action scenes without hearing any dialogue is incredibly frustrating. Tao Yao complained, "Why don't you just go straight up and film something with sound?"
"I'm over there." Shu Yan reached out to help his girlfriend remove her heavy earring and smiled. "Look, it's just a second from now."
Sure enough, the video zoomed in the next second.
Shu Yan pushed open the door and walked over, while Butler He remained very calm even after being caught red-handed.
He noticed Shu Yan, who stepped a few paces away from Luo Zilin to maintain a safe social distance, then straightened his sleeves and smiled.
"Young Master Shu, are you here on the balcony for some fresh air? Then I won't disturb you any longer."
With that, he bowed respectfully, stepped back, and left. When he reached the door, he turned back and said, "I would appreciate it if you could delete the video that is currently being filmed, Young Master Shu."
Shu Yan smiled slightly: "Why should I?"
Butler He: "Young Master Shu probably wouldn't want to make another powerful enemy."
Shu Yan: "Will Butler He be my formidable enemy? Just how formidable?"
In the video, Butler He smiled kindly: "I remember that Young Master Shu cares a lot about Miss Tao. Why isn't Young Master Shu by Miss Tao's side today?"
That's the end of the video.
"You're threatening me?" Tao Yao sneered. It seemed that this Butler He wasn't as kind and gentle as he appeared.
She suddenly thought, "Do you think the poison in the wine just now might have been from Butler He?"
Shu Yan thought for a moment: "If the Emperor assigns the blame to the Fourth Prince this time, and makes the Fourth Prince bear the crime of murdering his brother, then Steward He will at least be someone who knows the truth."
Which of these families doesn't have a housekeeper?
A person who has ruled a palace for so many years has eyes and ears everywhere. If he wanted, he could find out the truth about this poisoned wine very quickly.
“That girl is the one who was talking to Butler He.” Tao Yao pointed to Luo Zilin in the video. “After Butler He left, she didn’t say anything to you?”
Shu Yan shook her head: "She was the one who initially sought out Butler He, so naturally she wouldn't believe me. Besides, even if she tells me something, I have to preserve the truthfulness of her words."
Tao Yao understood.
Shu Yan and she truly did not believe that anyone who was spying on them, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Just then, Xia's voice came from ahead.
"Young Master, news has come from the palace that tonight's banquet was attacked by the insectoids, and it is said that the Fifth Prince was injured because of the insectoids' sneak attack."
Upon hearing this, the two activated their personal computers.
Sure enough, all the trending topics are now focused on the appearance of Zerg in the palace.
Tao Yao asked incredulously, "Is this a genuine release of the Zerg, or just an attempt to incite public outrage using the Zerg's name?"
After browsing the StarNet for a while, Hu Tiantian sent a StarDian message from the other end.
As soon as Tao Yao answered the phone, she heard Hu Tiantian's angry complaint: "The royal family is staging this themselves again. I don't know where they got those insectoid creatures from, they've made the whole palace bloody! Many guests who were still there were seriously injured. Now the royal family has bought all the trending topics. Aren't they afraid that if they stage this kind of thing too much, their image will collapse?"
Now all the reporters, onlookers, security personnel, and medical staff are crowding into the palace.
They came out early, otherwise they would not only have had to fight the Zerg, but they would also have been stuck on the road.
Tao Yao was equally angry. "It's really hard for them to come up with such a reason to let the insectoids infiltrate the palace under such strict security."
Hu Tiantian: "A waiter temporarily called in by the Parasite Clan to help out in the Parasite Palace, haha, they can use this lame excuse for a hundred years, do they think everyone is a fool!"
"Maybe it's true?" Shu Yan said coldly from the side.
Hu Tiantian: "..."
She remained silent for a while.
"Really what?"
Shu Yan: "Parasitized by the parasite race."
Hu Tiantian: "..."
"I'm a little scared!" she said, immediately hanging up the star telegram.
The next moment, her information popped up on Taoyao's personal computer.
[Hu Tiantian: I'm going home to find my blanket and hide. Remember to tell me this scary story in a non-scary way later! (Shaking under the blanket.jpg)]
Both cowardly and gossipy.
Tao Yao replied, "Okay."
