"Xuan Ce, how can you still jump back and forth? When we were slacking off earlier, you didn't say that..." After hearing Wang Xuance's words, Li Kuan immediately teased him with a half-smile, "Why? Are you also an undercover sent by that tyrant?"

"Your Highness," Wang Xuance shook his head at first, then replied seriously, "When considering things, we should start from the worst outcome and try to come up with a plan to deal with it. There is nothing wrong with this. But before the worst outcome happens, we must not think of taking the initiative, because doing so will often cause many regrets... Your Highness, do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing Wang Xuance's heartfelt words, His Royal Highness the King of Chu fell into silence.

Dou Shilun, who was originally planning to advise the King of Chu, now cast an admiring look at Wang Xuance.

You are a good boy, and it’s a good thing that I didn’t have the heart to strangle you to death.

"Your Highness," Zhang Zhenxuan suddenly said when everyone was speechless, "I don't think the matter is that complicated, because besides Your Majesty, there is another person who definitely knows the truth."

"Who?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu subconsciously turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhenxuan.

"Duke Qiao, Chai Shao."

"I'll go find my uncle right now!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was blinded by one thing, immediately stood up from his seat and planned to find Chai Shao to ask for clarification.

"Brother Zhenxuan, why are you so sure?" Wang Xuance saw that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was about to leave. He knew that he couldn't stop him, so he could only question Zhang Zhenxuan on the spot: "What if Prince Consort Chai tells His Majesty about this..."

"My uncle won't harm me." The Prince of Chu, who was about to step out of the hall, suddenly stopped and looked back at his trusted retainer, saying calmly, "Xuan Ce, you don't know that I was very weak when I was young, and I would get seriously ill if I wasn't careful.

For this reason, my grandmother and aunt often invited famous doctors to treat my health.

My uncle also made great efforts in this regard. Even when he was on the march and fighting outside, the first thing he did when he was free was to find local famous doctors for me and collect rare medicinal herbs for emergency use..." When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, his tone was filled with a faint sigh: "Xuan Ce, these past events were all told to me by my grandmother after I was old enough to remember things. She also told me that my uncle treated me very well, so next time he and my aunt go back to Longyou, I can't throw toads on his bed anymore..."

"..." Wang Xuance, who originally felt that he had spoken out of turn, fell silent after listening to the entire speech by His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Well... His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu always gives everyone a hilarious twist at the critical moment...

"Mr. Chai has worked hard..." Dou Shilun knew that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was very naughty when he was young, but he didn't expect this old man to be so naughty: "Your Highness... is quite lively..."

"Uncle Dou... If you think I have nothing to praise, there is no need to force it..." After being teased by Uncle Dou, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu curled his lips, and then said: "Uncle Dou, I won't eat this meal today, but these two..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said, pointing to Zhang Zhenxuan and Wang Xuance on the side: "Please take care of the meal."

"Your Highness, please be careful on the road." Dou Shilun knew that he didn't need to get involved in this matter anymore.

"Your Highness..."

"Shut up! Can Lord Dou eat you?"

"…Your Highness, please slow down…"

待楚王殿下放心离去后。

In the lobby, Dou Shilun looked at Wang Xuance again: "Wang Xuance, you really surprised me today..."

"Dou Gong," Wang Xuance hurriedly bowed to Dou Shilun upon seeing this, "It's not Xuance..."

"You don't have to say anything," Dou Shilun interrupted Wang Xuance before he could continue, "You did a great job this time. Zhenxuan, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhenxuan didn't expect that Lord Dou would actually throw the words to him. But he obviously had nothing to be afraid of: "Brother Xuan Ce is really a role model for our generation! - We have clearly made preparations for the rebellion of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu had already decided... No!" Zhang Zhenxuan didn't realize that something was wrong until this moment: "You kid are not going to betray His Royal Highness and become a traitor, are you?!"

"I..." Wang Xuance was about to speak when he heard that. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhenxuan suddenly put his hands together and closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, there was already a hint of anger in his eyes: "Wang Xuance, if you dare to go against His Highness's wishes and take action without authorization, as a tribute to the Dou family, I will be the first to kill you! To serve as a warning to others!"

"Master Zhang, I haven't said anything yet..." Wang Xuance looked at Zhang Zhenxuan with a hint of confusion and fear: "Why do you seem..."

"The Qi-gazing technique of my Zhang family is at the top of the whole Taoist sect!" When Zhang Zhenxuan said this, his eyes were still fixed on Wang Xuance: "Brother Xuance, I had a very good impression of you when I first saw you, but... there are some things that I advise you not to make mistakes!"

"..." Wang Xuance finally understood why he could become a priest at such a young age. But if you force him to accept it, it's impossible: "Master Zhang, if you are really that powerful, why didn't you calculate for His Royal Highness the King of Chu before? Maybe you can also calculate the truth of that year?"

"Are you stupid?" Zhang Zhenxuan now looked at Wang Xuance as if he was a fool. "Princess Pingyang Zhao, the emperor, Prince Yin, His Majesty - and our Prince Chu, who among them doesn't have great luck? I am so young, and I have no reason to touch such a taboo. What's wrong? Do you despise your own long life?"

"..." Wang Xuance, who was rarely treated as a fool, finally lost his temper after hearing Zhang Zhenxuan's convincing words: "You are right..."

"I am right!"

"Both of you, please be quiet!" Unlike His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was magnanimous, Dou Shilun, who had witnessed a "young retainers, a chicken pecking at each other", now felt that these two guys were really noisy. "How to deal with this matter in the end, it will be left to Your Highness to decide. As for the rest... Before obtaining the consent of this old man and Your Highness, none of you are allowed to act rashly, understand?"

"Lord Dou, I didn't do anything wrong..." Zhang Zhenxuan was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "Besides, I'm doing this for Your Highness's sake..."

"Yes!" Compared to the inexperienced Zhang Zhenxuan, Wang Xuance seemed much smarter.

"We are all considering His Highness, but no one can act on their own, otherwise..." Dou Shilun said as he slowly stood up and looked at the two young men standing in front of him: "You all have your own masters and elders. If things explode and they come out to teach you a lesson, the consequences... I'm afraid will be much more serious than if I, an outsider, scold you now..."
