If he had power, he wouldn't be so upset, but the fact is that in Huang Ming, he has no confidence that he can win.
In fact, he couldn't even hold people in his own hands.
"Master, you are upset."
Xiao Yuzi followed him for twenty years, from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to Huangming, through all the ups and downs. We chewed roots and wild vegetables together, and suffered the contempt and rejection of others. Our understanding of him was unmatched by others.
In his heart, his master is not only his master, but also his closest relative.
"Didn't you say that no matter what her purpose is, as long as it doesn't interfere with our affairs, we don't need to pay attention to her?"
Ye Lihan calmed down and was silent for a while, "Is there any news from over there?"
Xiao Yuzi shook his head. "Not yet. After all, it's far away. The round trip will take at least ten days, so it's not that fast."
Two days ago, the master had told him his plan.
He also knew that they might soon leave Huang Ming and return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, when it comes to the matter between the master and the prince, even he is actually very hesitant.
On the one hand, the prince is indeed a very outstanding woman who is worthy of his master, and the prince is really good to his master.
On the other hand, he also knew very well how urgent and eager his master was to return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
"Master is upset because he is worried about things over there, or because..."
The situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty Imperial Palace is tense now. They are far away, so it is understandable that the master is anxious.
After all, success or failure can be determined in one fell swoop.
"You go out first!" Ye Lihan doesn't want to say anything now.
Xiao Yuzi greeted the attendants outside the door, cleaned up the food, made a cup of tea for the master, and then quietly left.

In the next few days, there was some turmoil in the entire capital. It was unknown whose family had lost something, and many people were secretly searching for something.
In addition, there was also some turmoil in the court, and everyone was in danger.
The reason is that for several days in a row, officials have been sentenced to prison every day for corruption, bribery, bullying of the people, smuggling of salt and grain, and other reasons.
Under Su Qiao's behind-the-scenes operation, these vacant positions were all filled with officials who were inextricably related to Prime Minister Shang.
Some of them were related to her openly, and some were related to her secretly.
What happened in the court caught both Li Sang and his daughter off guard.
On this day, an official was once again detained for secretly withholding tax money. After going to court, Huang Ying hurried to the Phoenix Palace.
Li Sang, who has been sending people to keep an eye on the court, has already heard the news.
"Ying'er, what on earth is going on?"
Huang Ying sat down on the couch with a tense face. "I am also worried about this matter."
"Father, could it be Imperial Uncle who did it?"
After feeling that something was not going well, her first thought was that Imperial Uncle was unwilling to truly delegate power and was stumbling upon her behind her back.
Li Sang shook her head, denying her conjecture.
"If she wanted to take action, she would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"
"Maybe she regrets it?"
A person has been in power for too long and has already tasted the taste of power. How can he let go easily?
She is more willing to believe that Imperial Uncle's previous willingness to hand over power was just to confuse her.
"Father, I don't think she is so devoted to you. According to reports from people below, Imperial Uncle and Ye Lihan have gotten very close recently."
Of course Li Sang knew about this, and became a little angry Underground Passage: "I don't need her to be determined, I just need her to be obedient."
