"Yes, the Borrowing Knife Pavilion is also mine. If Shushu needs anything, she can go to the Borrowing Knife Pavilion. However, the Borrowing Knife Pavilion is not yet mature. Last time you asked the Borrowing Knife Pavilion to protect the Crown Prince, they ended up injuring him. They really shouldn't have done that." It wasn't self-blame, but rather to explain to Zhao Shu that the Borrowing Knife Pavilion's strength wasn't that great.
Zhao Shuxin was startled. The Borrowing Knife Pavilion had suffered heavy casualties, and this deal was a complete loss. Two of their leaders had died. "I must thank you, brother.

Wei Tingsi shook his head. "Therefore, Shushu should not return to the capital so easily." He did not answer directly, but Zhao Shu already knew the answer. Even Emperor Mingde himself sometimes added fuel to the fire, so why would he care? Therefore, his health is not as good as before.
