Beauty and the Bodyguard

Han Changshi said carefully,” Your Majesty, please don’t misunderstand. I have always trusted Lord Fifth without reservation. However, this matter is of great importance. Not only does it concern our Jinghai territory, but it may also directly affect the entire situation. We have to be careful.”

As the chief historian of the Imperial Residence, it is my duty. If I don’t find a way to investigate and implement it, I will really feel uneasy.”

“Your Majesty, please understand.”

King Han pondered for a moment and finally said,” Alright then. Since you’ve already said it to this extent, this king won’t stop you anymore. However, there’s one thing that you can ask in private. You must not hurt the harmony between you and Fifth Brother! The two of you are this king’s right and left arms. If you cause a ruckus because of this matter, then the gains will not make up for the losses.”

Understood,” Han Changshi nodded repeatedly.

With that, Minister Han immediately set off for the Emperor’s Palace.

Wu Wudi was the commander of the Imperial Army who was in charge of 100,000 Imperial Guards. He was responsible for guarding the Emperor. If one wanted to see him, they could only go to the Emperor’s palace.

However, although Minister Han was the second most powerful person in the Han Imperial Residence and was considered a high and powerful person in the eyes of others, he did not have a clear official position in the central system of the Inner Court.

Therefore, he had no right to enter the emperor’s palace and could only try his luck at the door.

Fortunately, his luck was not bad.

After waiting for less than fifteen minutes, he saw Wu Wudi.

” Lord Wu.” Sensing the strong aura emanating from the other party, Minister Han’s heart trembled. He immediately went forward to greet him.” I am Minister Han. Greetings, Lord Wu.”

Wu Wudi glanced at him and stopped in his tracks, but he had no intention of returning the greeting.

With his usual style, even if the seven kings were in front of him, he wouldn’t even look sideways, let alone a mere Guardian Han.

Han Changshi had expected this. In fact, he was already quite satisfied that the other party was willing to stop.

” Thank you, Marquis Wu, for your help in the Jinghai Exotic Land,” said Minister Han immediately.” I’m here on the orders of my king to express my gratitude.”

At the same time, the attendant behind him sent over a cart of gifts.

With the status of the Han Imperial Residence, since they were giving someone away, and it was someone at the level of Wu Wudi, they naturally wouldn’t be stingy.

Just this carriage of gifts alone was worth more than the wealth of several generations of ordinary nobles.

“I’m going to the Jinghai Flying Land for the Eldest Princess,” Wu Wudi said calmly.’Tt has nothing to do with your Han Imperial Residence.”

” Of course, the safety of the Eldest Princess is more important than anything else,” Han Zhangshi quickly said.” However, the Han Imperial Residence has indeed received a favor from Marquis Wu. It is reasonable for us to express our gratitude.”

This time, Wu Wudi didn’t refuse.

Although he was conceited, he was not so lofty that he would completely reject others. There was no risk to him when such benefits came knocking on his door. So what if he accepted them?

After all, he was not the only one in the Martial Marquis’s Mansion. He also had a large family to support.

Han Changshi breathed a sigh of relief. He saw Wu Wudi preparing to leave and quickly asked, “That Lin Yi…” I wonder if Marquis Wu has any impression of it?” “What do you want to ask?” Wu Wudi stopped in his tracks and turned around to glance at him.

I want to ask Marquis Wu about this person’s strength,” Han Changshi said carefully.

Wu Wudi was silent for a moment before giving a one-word evaluation.

After saying that, he left.

Han Changshi couldn’t help but be stunned. How was it alright?

For a moment, he couldn’t even tell if the other party’s comment was condescending or reserved between experts of the same level.

Wu Wudi’s words were vague, but Han Changshi did not dare to chase after him and ask.

With the other party’s personality, it was already a great honor for him to be able to say such a few words. If he continued to chase after him, he would not know what was good for him.

However, if they returned just like that, the conclusion would be too ambiguous, and this trip would be in vain.

“Are you asking about Lin Yi?” Zhou Youshi suddenly appeared and asked.

Greetings, Eldest Princess,” Guardian Han hurriedly greeted.

Zhou Youshi waved her hand and said with interest,” Lin Yi fought with Wu

Hou. Both sides were evenly matched. I saw it with my own eyes.”

Minister Han couldn’t help but be shocked.

With Zhou Youshi as a witness, Wu Wudi’s words became very clear.

This Lin Yi who came out of nowhere was actually on the same level as Wu Wudi!

Although Zhou Youshi’s strength was ordinary, her status as the Eldest Princess was placed here. The words that came out of her mouth naturally had extraordinary value.

She didn’t know that Zhou Youshi was just passing by and bragging about Lin Yi because she had a good impression of him.

Lin Yi was now a rare friend in her heart, just like Ma Xiaozhu. She would feel honored if someone put in a good word for Lin Yi.

Of course, in her understanding, Lin Yi didn’t lose anything. She said that Lin Yi and Wu Wudi were equally matched, and it came from her heart. She didn’t feel guilty at all.

“Are you guys talking about Lin Yi?”

At this moment, another voice cut in. It was Qi Zhuiyun.

Third Master Qi.” Minister Han hurriedly greeted him.

Qi Zhuiyun was ranked third in King Qi’s estate. In terms of rank, he was on the same level as the chief historian of King Han’s estate.

However, in reality, not only did Qi Zhuiyun hold an official position in the central system of the Inner Court, but he was also publicly acknowledged as a top-notch expert of the royal power. He was someone who could stand on equal footing with Wu Wudi. In comparison, he, Han Changshi, was far inferior.

“Master Qi knows Lin Yi too?” Zhou Youshi blinked curiously.

Qi Zhuiyun smiled.” I do. He is a key figure in the Qi Residence. His future is limitless.”

As he spoke, he suddenly turned to Minister Han.” I heard that he recently went to the Jinghai Flying Land. Your Imperial Residence of Han wouldn’t be trying to snatch him away from my Imperial Residence of Qi, right?”

Guardian Han could not help but feel shocked.

This Lin Yi wasn’t a nobody, he’d already caught the eye of King Qi’s mansion!

This time, he no longer doubted Lin Yi’s strength.

Marquis Wu Wudi, Elder Princess Zhou Youshi, Qi Zhuiyun from Prince Qi’s mansion, and his own Han Wu from Prince Han’s mansion were all supporting Lin Yi. If he continued to doubt Lin Yi, even he himself would think that he was sick!

Third Master Qi, you’re joking. Lin Yi is also the most important friend of our Han mansion. We treat each other sincerely. It’s not like we’re snatching him, right?”

Qi Zhuiyun laughed.” Fine, fine, fine. You’re already fighting with me? I’ll say this first. Lin Yi is a big Buddha. Your Han Mansion might not be able to tolerate him.”

“That’s hard to say,” Han Zhangshi replied with a smile.

He was now completely convinced of Lin Yi’s strength. From the standpoint of King Han’s mansion, he couldn’t let go of a big shot like Lin Yi no matter what..
