The Grand Tutor Mu, who was being addressed, was reviewing memorials in his study when he suddenly sneezed violently.
Xuanming changed direction to avoid the shadow blocking his way and continued walking towards the door, but was blocked by the shadow again.
"Your Highness, Miss Mu instructed me to keep a close eye on you, to make sure you don't get wet in the rain, drink or eat anything cold, and to wear more clothes..." Shadow recited everything Mu Zhi had said in one breath.
He had expected His Highness to interrupt him impatiently, since this long speech was all about trivial matters.
However, to his surprise, Xuanming not only did not stop him, but instead changed his hurried expression and seemed to be enjoying it.
After Shadow finished speaking with his head down, he waited for a long time but received no response.
He looked up in confusion, only to find that His Highness was in a daze, with a faint smile on his lips.
He was stunned for a moment, and after waiting a while, he couldn't help but call out softly.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
Xuanming was pulled back to reality by his voice. He glared at the shadow, then turned and walked back.
Shadow raised an eyebrow slightly, secretly surprised: Could this really solve the problem?
He had initially thought His Highness would get angry because of his nagging, but now it seemed the situation was completely different.
"What are you standing there for? Didn't you hear I can't drink cold tea? Go and get me a hot cup of tea right away." Xuan Ming walked to the table, sat down, and picked up the book in his hand again to start reading.
His expression returned to calm, a calmness that made Shadow feel as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
Shadow quickly agreed and went to prepare hot tea.
Xuanming's desk was piled high with books, including various rare and miscellaneous records. Since he couldn't leave the palace to go to the disaster area, he could only look at these ancient books to see if there was any record related to the epidemic.
Shadow walked in carrying hot tea, found a gap on the table, and placed the tea in an empty spot.
He watched as his prince picked up a cup of hot tea and drank it, and he couldn't help but feel surprised.
His Highness's temper is just as stubborn as his own. This is the first time that His Highness has listened to him before he has even seriously tried to persuade him.
Strange, how could he describe His Highness as obedient?
Shadow didn't dare to think too much, picked up the teacup on the table that had long since gone cold, and left.
There are no eunuchs in Your Highness's palace. No, to be precise, the Sumeru Palace never uses eunuchs. Even those who serve in public are either assassins or people from the Xuan Palace.
late at night.
The entire palace was plunged into darkness.
Several auras appeared in the void deep within the palace.
"This time, Xiao Xuanzi is going to be in trouble. Sigh, I say, are you old guys just going to stand by and watch?"
“What can we do? We can’t leave the palace, and that little brat doesn’t need medicine to awaken his power, so we can only be confined to the palace.”
"After all these years, are we just going to be trapped here?" an old voice sighed.
Another gruff voice shouted, "Old buddy, you must be secretly thrilled. The emperor would rather be tormented to death by illness than use a medicinal human as medicine. This shows that the emperor is of upright character. This is a blessing for the Xuancang Continent. If he had used that medicinal human, you would probably have rushed out and beaten him up even if you were imprisoned."
"That's true, but we have people, hehe. Men, go and investigate who's been causing trouble in Minchuan. Find out exactly who's been hanging around there, don't miss a single one," the old voice said with a smile.
"You really know how to play games, tsk tsk, you've mastered this confinement perfectly." A spirited female voice suddenly broke in.
"Oh, so you've finally decided to leave the palace? I have some bad news for you. The little brat has postponed his wedding banquet, so the palace won't be lively for a while." A scholarly voice suddenly spoke up.
"We've waited all these years, a few more days won't make a difference. Shh, someone's coming, let's go, this little shadow's fighting power is getting stronger and stronger."
As soon as he finished speaking, the several auras vanished without a trace.
The shadow leaped onto a high wall, cautiously looking around.
Strange, I clearly sensed several powerful auras here just now, but they disappeared as soon as I arrived?
Recalling the faint presence he had sensed last time, Shadow looked up thoughtfully at the night sky and then carefully examined his surroundings.
Although I still didn't gain anything, at least I confirmed one thing: my previous feeling wasn't an illusion.
He'll find it someday.
"What just happened?" Xuanming asked, his eyes fixed on the book in his hands, without even looking up.
"My subordinate sensed the aura of a group of unfamiliar powerful individuals, but when we rushed over, those auras vanished without a trace, as if it were just an illusion."
"Where is it?" Xuanming's expression did not change upon hearing this, and he did not even pause in turning the pages of the book.
“Jin Yuan.” Shadow’s voice was deep and serious.
Xuan Ming simply gave a faint "hmm" to indicate that he understood.
"Put these books back; they're useless. Forget it, let's not look for them anymore. Since they've already gone to the disaster area, perhaps they have a way to solve the problems there. Send another group of people over; make sure they are well protected."
Xuanming stood up, gently stretched his body, and moved his sore shoulders before giving instructions to Shadow.
Shadow nodded, then turned and went out to call someone in to move the book away.
After the others left, Shadow looked at Xuan Ming and said in a gentle tone with a hint of concern, "Your Highness, you haven't slept since yesterday and you look very unwell. Why don't you go and rest?"
Xuan Ming touched his face in surprise and asked, "Oh? Is it that obvious?"
