You didn’t want to steal your brother’s thunder. You wanted your brother to stand out, so you deliberately ruined yourself, isn’t that right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good guess, but next time, don’t guess!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry, but the Ye Liuyun from before really was just that much of a loser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan on the side seemed to believe that explanation too. The way he looked at Ye Liuyun turned admiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To give his brother a bright future, he actually destroyed his own life on purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that’s something worth admiring!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem! Just treat it that way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way I could actually explain everything in detail. If you want to fill in the story like that, go right ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shuzhu smiled with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how the original Liu Feng died, Yan Shuzhu guessed he must have offended someone and gotten killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the reason Ye Liuyun took his brother’s place among the Embroidered Uniform Guard was to investigate the truth behind his brother’s death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun gave no explanation at all, but Yan Shuzhu had already built up a whole drama in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you’re willing to help me, I can make it so you can keep working as Ye Liuyun within the Embroidered Uniform Guard, without having to hide your real identity anymore.

Judging from Yan Shuzhu’s words, he wants to go home first, settle the issue of Ye Liuyun’s identity, and then talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun had no objection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply watched Yan Shuzhu leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After things were quiet around him, he finally turned his head to look at Si Nan beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Sheng might be a little slow to react, but Si Nan is a smart guy; after the conversation just now, he must have realized that it’s Ye Liuyun here, not some Ye Liufeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant Ye Liuyun’s eyes landed on him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan immediately got it, and without hesitation dropped to his knees and clasped his fists at Ye Liuyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Willing to serve you, sir, with all my loyalty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan wasn’t stupid. Just following Ye Liuyun, the daily rewards alone are worth more than he could have ever dreamed before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from how things look, sticking with Ye Liuyun clearly has way more prospects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Ye Liufeng—sorry, we don’t know him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Sheng, standing nearby, looked at Si Nan with a head full of question marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t figure out why, out of nowhere, Si Nan started swearing allegiance. Did something just happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a moment of confusion, Shi Sheng also knelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, Shi Sheng, am also willing to serve you, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t really know why they were pledging loyalty right now, but working under Ye Liuyun really had Shi Sheng feeling at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentleman dies for one who knows his worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Shi Sheng, Ye Liuyun was that person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough! Enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved them off with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as everyone understands, that’s enough. Everything stays the same as before; I’m heading back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking this opportunity to swap back to his original identity wasn’t half-bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have a choice before, but now that he does, there’s nothing to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whew!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ye Liuyun left, Si Nan finally let out a long breath. Good thing he’d reacted fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Sheng got up alongside Si Nan, saw his expression, and curiously moved closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... what just happened back there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, being simple-minded really is a blessing; not knowing anything is its own kind of happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan glanced at Shi Sheng, then explained with resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, when you address sir, don’t call him Ye Liufeng. It’s Ye Liuyun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Liuyun? What does that mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes I really want to report this guy to the authorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since we’ll be working together, Si Nan patiently explained regardless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving, Guan Bao hurried straight back to the Nine-Thousand-Year Lord and reported everything that had happened in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the palace, in a lavish mansion—this was the residence of the Nine-Thousand-Year Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eunuchs have no heirs, no hope for that kind of thing, so most of them are either extremely greedy for wealth or for power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the Nine-Thousand-Year Lord is just about as high as an eunuch can climb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when it comes to money, he really takes things seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Guan Bao delivered his report, the Nine-Thousand-Year Lord was admiring the agate and jade offered up by his subordinates, reluctant to put them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t set them in the brocade box until Guan Bao had finished talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like our little emperor isn’t content to be ordinary, actually wants to recruit the Embroidered Uniform Guard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the Nine-Thousand-Year Lord, the way Yan Shuzhu protected an Embroidered Uniform Guard was obviously an attempt to recruit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making use of his control over the Embroidered Uniform Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly a puppet, only pushed onto the throne to do a few years’ stint, but she actually wants to defy her fate—how laughable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, shall I go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Bao raised his hand hesitantly and spoke softly, making a throat-slitting gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning: saying should I go quietly take care of Ye Liuyun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could see Guan Bao really had confidence in his abilities—not for a moment did he think quietly eliminating Ye Liuyun would be any trouble at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved it off indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even as a puppet, the emperor is still the emperor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine-Thousand-Year Lord was loyal to Great Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just not to Yan Shuzhu, but to her father—the true master of the Dynasty, in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Majesty has only been closed in meditation a few years; I reckon it’ll be a while before he emerges. In this stretch of time, we can’t let any chaos break out in Great Qian, or when His Majesty reappears he’ll think we’re incompetent, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So there’s no need to do a thing. If the little emperor wants to protect that Embroidered Uniform Guard, let her. Wants to control the Embroidered Uniform Guard, let her.
