Chapter 252

The emperor was extremely glad that his son was fine. Jang didn't have much reaction as he was still angry over the assassination attempt on him.

Who dared to try to assassinate a member of the imperial family?

"It's good that you're fine, Jang. Do you have any lead?"

"No, there aren't any."

Jang felt angry over the event that had passed. From them all, they continued to lose one by one and it didn't seem like there was any chance to make a comeback.

Strategist Wu walked to the hall and look towards the emperor. "Your Majesty, there is something that I need to talk to you about."

With that, the other officials were kicked out of the hall. Jang returned to his residence while Jongin also went to his residence. Xuan Pei followed soon after.

"Xuan Pei, where have you been?" Jongin brow creased.

"I'm waiting outside," Xuan Pei answered.

"You should just come inside. You can be considered an official," Jongin said calmly. He strode to his residence and rummage through his papers. There were some things he needed to do.

Xuan Pei waited by the side quietly. He didn't interfere with what Jongin do, but when the other party looked at the expression on Xuan Pei, somehow he didn't feel good. There must be something wrong here.

"Xuan Pei, do you miss teaching those girls?"

Before being an official, Xuan Pei was a teacher for noble ladies. He hasn't become an official for long, but his capability was something different.

Jongin used him a lot to make the strategy to win against the Pan Kingdom. Although in the end they were suppressed by the Kai Kingdom when they come.

"It's not that, Your Highness." Xuan Pei shook his head calmly.

Before Jongin could ask another question, several guards already come running to him

Looking at the sword in their hand, Jongin could guess that they were here to capture him.

His face darkened as he knew that Xuan Pei was the only one who knew his real plan.

He looked towards Xuan Pei. "What did you do?"

"Telling the truth," Xuan Pei answered. "Assassination attempt toward your brother is not an appropriate thing to do, Your Highness."

Jongin expression changes swiftly. "You traitor!"

Jongin leaped towards Xuan Pei, but the other party immediately evaded the attack.

That motion made Jongin eyes widen in shock. He was about to yell at Xuan Pei when the guards reached him and took him down.

His eyes didn't leave Xuan Pei who still stood quietly. His mind churned out and he finally understood everything. But at this rate, no one was going to believe in him anymore.

Xuan Pei watched the guards taking Jongin calmly. He didn't bother chasing after them and thanked the guards who were coming to check him with politeness.

"Are you alright, Minister Xuan Pei?" a servant comes to him with a polite smile.

Xuan Pei recognized the man as someone who stayed near Strategist Wu. He didn't know his name, though, since he didn't introduce himself. This servant was already in middle age, but he was still as agile as a young man and quick to respond.

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

The servant smiled. "Strategist Wu asks for your presence in the hall."
