really.

When the tutor hurried into the palace, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. The big raindrops fell down with a crackling sound, as if to drown the whole world.

At this moment, Xuan Ming was standing quietly at the door of the palace, holding a sharp sword tightly in his hand.

The palace maids around all knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and from time to time a few dazzling flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating Xuan Ming's tall and upright figure.

He was dressed in a gorgeous black and gold dragon robe, emitting a suffocating aura of majesty as if he were the emperor, making people dare not look directly at him.

“Unless Your Highness kills me and steps over my dead body, as long as I am alive, I will never let Your Highness take risks alone.” Shadow knelt on the wet ground with a pale and slightly embarrassed look, lowered his head, and spoke in a firm tone.

As the sound of rain was so loud, all his attention was focused on the movements of the person in front of him, and he did not notice the arrival of the Master at all.

"Are you threatening Gu?"

Xuan Ming turned slightly and stood in front of the shadow, with one hand behind his back and the other hand firmly holding the sword that was shining with cold light.

When he heard Shadow's words, his eyes instantly became extremely cold, and the sword in his hand moved forward a little further, almost touching Shadow's throat.

"I dare not threaten Your Highness." Shadow felt the chill and anger coming from Xuan Ming, and couldn't help but shiver in his heart.

As a close confidant who grew up with His Highness, he knew very well what it meant for His Highness to call himself "Gu" - it meant that His Highness was really angry, and very angry.

"I think you are too brave."

Shadow continued to repeat, "I dare not."

"Hmph, since you don't dare, why don't you get out of the way?" Xuan Ming's voice became increasingly cold.

When Shadow heard Xuan Ming's words, his body trembled violently involuntarily, but he stood up firmly and knelt on the spot like a rock, motionless.

Xuan Ming was indeed angry.

Angry that he doesn't understand me.

Every day he lives is a gain, and every day he can use this body to gain more benefits for the people of Xuan Cang is also a gain.

So, he hoped that Shadow could understand him.

Xuan Ming was furious.

He just relied on the fact that he didn't dare to kill him.

Xuan Ming became furious when he saw his stubborn look, raised his foot, and kicked Shadow to the ground.

Shadow took a deep breath and continued to crawl back to his original position, kneeling straight.

Xuan Ming turned his head with a gloomy face, only to find that the tutor was standing quietly not far away waiting for him.

I wasn't paying attention to the pillar over there just now, and I don't know how long the tutor has been here.

Xuan Ming could not help but roared angrily: "Taifu, if you came here to persuade me, then you can leave now. Come, escort Taifu back to the mansion and arrange a stable carriage."

Hearing Xuanming's order, the palace servant who was kneeling beside him hurriedly stood up and prepared to find a carriage.

However, the Grand Tutor raised his hand to signal them to stop, and then replied in a loud and firm voice: "I am not here to persuade Your Highness, but to inquire about the preparations for the wedding banquet. My daughter is really eager to get married. Alas, after all, a girl cannot be kept at home."

When Xuan Ming heard this, his body suddenly stiffened.

He took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions, and said slowly: "Master, the floods are serious now, and the people are in dire straits. I hope you can understand my difficulties. I really can't distract myself to prepare for the wedding, but please rest assured that the Ministry of Rites will properly handle all matters and ensure that everything goes smoothly."

The tutor slowly walked over, and Xuanming noticed that the tutor was soaked all over.

He quickly threw away the sword in his hand and ordered Ying Zhu, who was kneeling beside Ying, "Go and prepare some hot water, and take the Master to the side hall to change into clean clothes... Speaking of which, Mu Zhi left me a few sets of clothes. They were specially prepared for the Master in the palace. They were made by her herself. She wanted to give the Master a surprise, but she didn't expect them to come in handy now."

After he finished speaking, he said to the shadow who was still kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, "Go and clean up and prepare some tea."

Then, Xuan Ming turned and walked into the hall.

"Master, it's my fault. I'm sorry for scaring you today." Xuan Ming brought the ginger soup and handed it to the master himself, bowing and admitting his mistake.

The Taifu deliberately did not take it. He stroked his beard and looked at the young man in front of him. This young emperor whom he had personally trained was resourceful and strategic, but ever since he fell ill, he would get easily carried away when encountering matters concerning the people.

"Hey, sit down." The tutor couldn't bear to punish him, so after taking the ginger soup, he motioned for him to sit down.

"When Zhier heard that you were going to leave the palace to go to the refugee area, she ran to my study in the heavy rain and insisted on going into the palace with me. I told her that if I couldn't stop her, I would send someone to tell her and then bring her into the palace." The Grand Tutor drank two sips of ginger soup before speaking slowly.

Xuan Ming was startled and was about to speak when the Grand Tutor raised his hand to stop him. "When I came, I had already asked her to go back to her room and change into clean clothes. Your Highness, don't worry. But I really ask Your Highness to think twice. I'm afraid there is something fishy about this matter."

Then, the Grand Tutor expressed his own views.

After hearing this, Xuan Ming fell into deep thought.

This time, the Grand Tutor did not rush to persuade him again, but slowly picked up the ginger soup and continued to taste it.

He lowered his head, and looked carefully at the clothes with a loving and joyful gaze.

This dress is not simple, it was made by his beloved daughter.

Even though others may not understand, as a father, how could he not know what his daughter wants?

Mu Zhi was worried that he would firmly oppose her marriage to Xuan Ming, so she made these clothes specifically to please him.

This girl.

Xuan Ming looked at the Grand Tutor with some doubt, and there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "Then according to what the Grand Tutor said, I have to stay in the palace for now?"

The master nodded, but soon shook his head, a smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly whispered: "No, you still have to go to the disaster area, and go to the disaster area openly."

Xuan Ming's brows raised slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He said softly, "No matter what it is, I can't hide it from you, Master."

Xuanming heard the deep meaning in Taifu's words.

Ever since he fell ill, he has been preparing substitutes who look exactly like him.

He was worried that if he suddenly fell ill and died one day, the Grand Tutor and those loyal old ministers would not be thrown into panic.

All of this is to ensure the stability and peace of Xuancang Continent.

"I didn't expect that such a person would appear in my Xuancang Continent."

"I don't have complete evidence. Right now, I'm just taking precautions. I can understand that you want to go to the disaster area to understand the people's sentiments, but there are more important things now, which concern the life and death of Xuan Cang Continent. We must not be careless." The Grand Tutor added.

Xuan Ming stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your teachings, Master."

Seeing that Xuanming's emotions had stabilized, the Master said no more, "Okay, I'll go back and see Zhi'er. That girl must be very worried."
