Chapter 213 – Sharp Blade
by Salted Fish — Zhuang Renshao had been taking his two nephews to the Jingzhao Prefecture for two consecutive days. Without stopping, they had also sought out Cui Shu. Cui Shu could only personally visit the Jingzhao Prefecture once and speak with the prefectural governor. The Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Jiang Xian was very worried. "We have been searching, but has Cui Sir found any new leads?" Cui Shu had long heard that Jiang Xian was an idiot, yet he had managed to stay in his position as Jingzhao Governor for…

Chapter 212 – Trivial Matters
by Salted Fish — When Xu Chun was having breakfast on the second day, Xie Yi told him about Xie Fei's passing last night. Xu Chun was taken aback. "I even sent people to Jinhai Fortress to invite those two Western missionaries to take a look at him… How did it suddenly worsen?" After saying this, he was indeed saddened, his eyes reddening slightly. "Even though we originally became friends for profit, back when we were in the Imperial Academy, he helped me out quite a bit. He was also full of aspirations, wanting to…

by Salted Fish — Xu Chun was startled when he saw Xie Fei. He had arrived at the Shun'an Prefectural Duke's Mansion on time, but he did not meet Su Lin Yu, which was odd. However, the little palace attendants respectfully invited him inside, leading him straight into the inner chambers. Xie Fei leaned against a large bolster pillow. He had clearly changed into grand attire for the guest and combed his hair, but his sickly frame, sunken eyes, and pale complexion belied his efforts. He smiled slightly at Xu Chun and…

by Salted Fish — "Zhuang Zhuangyuan has been rescued." Xie Yi raised his eyes to look at Qi Luan, who was reporting below him. "And then?" Qi Luan answered honestly, "Later, His Excellency sent me first to report to Your Majesty that these things happened, and that he wouldn't be able to arrive on time tonight. He took a detour to the bookstore and asked Your Majesty not to wait too long." Xie Yi: "…" He glanced at Su Huaibei, who smiled and said, "I'm sure there will be further reports soon. His Excellency…

by Salted Fish — Zhuang Zhan took the memorial with both hands and read it carefully, his expression calm. "The memorial is excellent, the writing forceful, the reasoning clear. When it is made public tomorrow, it will surely shock the world. But it doesn't quite match my usual style, so I'll need to refine it a bit. Since this is such a glorious matter for our family, I must treat it with due respect. However, since this matter is of great importance, may I ask Uncle, have you informed Grandfather?" Zhuang Renshao…

Chapter 208 – Memorial
by Salted Fish — Zhuang Zhan left the palace in a daze. The next day, indeed, people came to ask him about the joint petition, but he merely shook his head and remained silent, refusing to leave his residence. Some well-informed individuals heard that his performance evaluation had been marked "mediocre" by the current emperor, and whispers began to circulate. Some reveled in his misfortune, while others who had befriended him in the past felt indignant on his behalf. But seeing him maintain his composure and elegance…

Chapter 207 – Edification
by Salted Fish — Zhuang Zhizhan entered with a heart full of resentment, asking abruptly and expecting the Emperor to be infuriated by his disrespect, to scold him, or to order someone to drag him out. Instead, he saw the Emperor seated above, not answering him but reaching out to take the teacup on the table, slowly taking a sip, seemingly unperturbed. A shudder suddenly surged through Zhuang Zhizhan's heart. He remembered an old saying that the Emperor would only ridicule and berate those ministers to whom he was…

Chapter 206 – Asking the Sage
by Salted Fish — The weather was clear, with the sea breeze blowing gently. Xu Chun, along with Sheng Changtian and Fang Zixing, yelled and played with kites all the way. Xie Yi merely sipped tea on the side, watching them play, exuding an aura of noble grace, yet enjoying the rare leisurely pleasure of a half-day respite from the world. Back at the palace in Jinhaiwei, he spent the afternoon questioning ministers about their investigations into the lives of the people, granting exemptions for several taxes due this…

Chapter 205 – Kite
by Salted Fish — When Xu Chun woke up in the morning, he heard the clear cries of seabirds in the distance, but he couldn't immediately recall where he was. He was tightly wrapped in a soft, warm silk quilt, which sparked memories of the chaotic events from last night. He remembered Xie Yi sitting cross-legged there, his god-like body radiating a captivating luster like jade. He covered his slightly throbbing head and sighed, unsure where Jiu-ge had gone. The palace was taken care of; he knew Jiu-ge would have…

by Salted Fish — After seeing off several envoys, Xu Chun was immediately surrounded by other merchants and some envoys from the South Seas. He had no choice but to make small talk for a while. Thinking about Xie Yi, he returned to the Star-Bathing Pavilion and saw Xie Yi flipping through his drawings on his desk. His heart pounded, fearing that one of his books wasn't hidden well enough. His face flushed slightly as he approached and asked, “Ninth Brother, what are you looking at?” Xie Yi had been bored and noticed…
