Seeing that the weather was getting hotter in June, one morning, several foreigners suddenly appeared on Nanmen Street. They hurried to the Su Mansion deep in Jiazhong Alley, led by a young man.

"Brother Li, this time we went to Kyoto to visit Mr. Su together. We didn't inform him in advance. Will he be unhappy?" A young man behind him asked worriedly, with a bit of nervousness and uneasiness in his expression.

"Mr. Su would not be so narrow-minded." The leading young man smiled lightly, his eyes revealing trust and respect. "When I come to Nanyao Kingdom this time, I have agreed to the Lord's lobbying for him to go to Qianye Kingdom."

The group of people behind him nodded, their expressions showing anticipation and excitement.

"It is said that not long ago, the leader of the Yueyao Kingdom actually changed his mind and wanted to invite him to take up the position of Grand Master. The leader of the Yueyao Kingdom was able to put aside his grudges and accept Mr. Su. It can be seen that Mr. Su is indeed a rare person now. A genius." Another young man said suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, looking a little worried and uneasy.

The leading young man stamped his feet and his expression became serious. "Then we have to get Mr. Su away before them."

"Let's go!" The leading young man ended the conversation and hurriedly led everyone to the door of the Su Mansion. He immediately stepped forward and asked the concierge to pass the message.

Su Yanqi, who was reading in the garden, was disturbed by Uncle Shi's footsteps.He frowned and asked calmly: "Another wave of people came?"

"Sir, I really don't know how to refuse."

Uncle Shi said in embarrassment, "In the past few days, people have come to visit frequently, asking the young master to serve as an official. Please stay away from the young master. If the news reaches your majesty's ears, what should we do?"

"They are here for me. They will look for me no matter where I go." Su Yanqi put down the book in his hand, knowing it clearly.

"There are rumors outside that the leader of the Yueyao Kingdom sent people to Kyoto to invite the young master to take up the position of Grand Master. Is this true?" Uncle Shi was very confused.

"The rumors may not be true. If the leader of the Yueyao Kingdom can really let go of his past grievances, he will not allow people from the Wu clan to assassinate His Highness the Fourth Highness multiple times. Even our Su family residence has caught several assassins recently." Su Yanqi said thoughtfully.

"Someone is deliberately spreading rumors against you, Master." Uncle Shi interjected.

"You don't have to guess who it is. Who else in the capital wants to deal with me besides the second prince?" Su Yanqi sneered coldly.Not long after Lu Heng met him, rumors spread in Kyoto that he, Su Yanqi, was a unique talent. If he could be invited to serve as an official, he would surely serve the country and promote ZTE.

"The second prince has evil intentions. He undoubtedly put you on the fire rack to roast you!" Uncle Shi exclaimed.

Su Yanqi was not surprised after hearing this, and responded calmly: "What are you afraid of? The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. You go and invite the people into the house, and I will meet them."

Immediately, he stood up and ordered: "Yan Si, send a message to His Highness the Fourth Highness. I want to meet with him today."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yan Si responded.

In the Changyang Hall of the imperial palace, Emperor Yao was taking a nap. Due to the strong sunshine today, the palace was a bit stuffy. Emperor Yao was lying on the couch and tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Finally he rolled over and sat up, shouting.

"Wu Ji'an, come with me for a walk."

"The slave obeys the order."

When Emperor Yao came to the shade of a tree beside Taiye Pond, a gust of cool breeze hit him, instantly refreshing him.He stood under the shade of the tree with his hands behind his hands for a long time and refused to leave.

At this time, two little eunuchs who were pruning branches not far away leaned together mysteriously and talked in low voices.

"Your Majesty attaches so much importance to Qi Langjun, he will definitely not go to other countries to serve as an official."

"That's not certain. Otherwise, why has he been unwilling to become an official in the court for so many years? Is it because he has a grudge and deliberately shirks the responsibility."

When Emperor Yao heard their conversation, his eyes suddenly darkened and his face became frosty.

Wu Ji'an on the side hurriedly scolded.

"Whoever talks nonsense there and disturbs the Holy Master should be punished!" After hearing his voice, the two young eunuchs were so frightened that their legs weakened, and they knelt down in fear and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. This slave deserves to die. I didn't know that Your Majesty was here and disturbed the Holy Master. Please spare me, Your Majesty!"

"Is what you just said true?" Emperor Yao's face was already a little angry, and there was a coldness in his eyes.

"Reporting to your majesty, we... also heard it from elsewhere. "The little eunuch replied tremblingly.

"Where else?" Emperor Yao's voice was low, suppressing his anger.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the entire Kyoto is now rumored about this matter. We... also heard it from Mr. Degong Cai." The other young eunuch's face was pale and his whole body was shaking violently.

"I didn't know about this?" Emperor Yao's eyes were cold and stern. After pondering for a moment, he glanced at the two young eunuchs and sternly ordered.

"If you dare to discuss government affairs privately, I will drag you down and kill you with a cane!"

"Yes!" Wu Ji'an bowed to accept the order, waved to the guards, and the two young eunuchs were forcibly dragged away.

"Your Majesty, please spare your life!" The two young eunuchs begged in horror.

Emperor Yao's face was livid, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his expression showed strong anger and dissatisfaction.

"Xuan Su Yanqi enters the palace to meet the saint."

"The slave obeys the order."

In a deserted courtyard in Kyoto, Su Yanqi hurriedly walked into a secret room and raised his hands to salute the people inside.

"I have seen Your Highness."

"There's no need to be polite. You came to see me in such a hurry because of the recent rumors in Kyoto." Huo Yunjue nodded at him.

"These rumors were deliberately spread by the Second Prince. I'm afraid your Majesty will find out sooner or later. I'm here to tell His Highness that if I can't escape this time, please take care of the Third Miss." Su Yanqi once again asked Huo Yun deeply. He gave a bow and looked a little worried.

"Are you worried that His Majesty will be angry with you because of this?" Huo Yunjue asked in surprise.

"I will deal with Your Majesty on my own. I'm afraid that the Second Prince and the others may have other tricks."

"A few days ago, the staff around the second prince came to me and wanted to persuade me to write a letter of termination of engagement to the third lady, but I refused. Therefore, they will definitely find ways to frame me again." Su Yanqi sneered.

"The second prince has gone too far to deceive others. I will try to get my father to dispel any doubts about you. Just hold on."

"Your Highness, please don't do this. If you get involved again, His Majesty will definitely be suspicious of you and Concubine Wan. By then, everything we have done before will be in vain."

"The Su family just wants to protect themselves. Why do they have to push each other so hard? Don't we bear enough?" Huo Yunjue's eyes filled with anger.

"Your Highness, don't worry. I have a comprehensive solution for your Majesty." Su Yanqi said calmly.

"Then be careful. As for the third lady, don't worry. I have sent someone to protect her secretly. She will be fine." Huo Yunjue assured him.

"I feel relieved to have you by her side. I believe His Highness will take good care of her." Su Yanqi smiled knowingly.

Hearing these words, Huo Yunjue's expression paused, his thoughts were a little complicated, and he couldn't suppress the guilt in his chest. He looked guilty and seemed to be hesitant to speak.Finally, he lowered his eyes apologetically and said:

"Cousin...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have met Miss Third behind your back, let alone have feelings for her. I feel deeply guilty, and I have no face to face you. It doesn't matter if you blame me or scold me, It doesn’t matter if you hate me, everything is my fault. I was the one who provoked her first, and I was the one who kept pestering her."

He apologized devoutly to Su Yanqi.

"I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness. I only hope that I can help her get rid of the second prince completely so that she can spend this life in peace." Huo Yunjue looked at Su Yanqi calmly, his eyes were very sincere.

Su Yanqi's eyes flashed a few times when he heard Huo Yunjue's words. After pondering for a moment, he smiled faintly to show his understanding.

"Your Highness, there is no need to feel sorry for me. Love between a man and a woman requires mutual happiness and understanding to be more beautiful. I know your intentions well and am willing to fulfill your wishes. However, I cannot give the divorce letter to Miss Third yet. I hope His Highness understands." Su Yanqi's tone was gentle and his expression was calm.

"I understand that the Second Prince will not let her go if he is not here for a day. With the engagement between you and her, we can hold him back for a while. I will arrange everything as soon as possible to contain the Second Prince. Let him have no time to take care of Miss Third." Huo Yunjue nodded, his gratitude beyond words.

"The situation in Kyoto has suddenly changed. Your Highness may be involved soon. There is no foolproof plan. We need to avoid its sharp edges and act with caution." Su Yanqi reminded him with a serious look.

"I will do it. I will never take action unless I am completely sure!" Huo Yunjue nodded silently and said solemnly.

"Then I will leave first. Your Highness will wait and see what happens in the near future. No matter what happens, remember not to show up." Su Yanqi bowed to him and turned towards the secret passage.

"Cousin, thank you for your kindness. I have nothing to repay in this life. I hope to repay your kindness in the next life." Huo Yunjue behind him took a long breath, looked at my back with relief, bent down and bowed deeply. before expressing gratitude.

Su Yanqi paused slightly, turned around, and smiled suddenly.

"There is no need to say thank you between you and me!"
