On the other side.

Li Ruoxuan, whose proposal was unsuccessful, chose not to go anywhere that day—nor did he meditate to cultivate or even look at the memorials and small pile of secret letters that filled his table.

Instead, he sat beside the flower bed in the courtyard, staring despondently at the holly trees growing from there.

The leaves of the holly trees were green and full, resembling a field of vitality.

Li Ruoxuan watched them, bearing an expression as dark as the dead of night.

There were no servants in the courtyard other than Zhu Shen, who stood under the eaves not far away. He watched over his master in silence.

Neither of them had had lunch or dinner.

As evening approached, the skies changed—dark clouds surged and it soon began raining. Even then, Zhu Shen did not disturb Li Ruoxuan.

As the heavy raindrops fell on his shoulders, Li Ruoxuan glanced toward the sky and noticed the dark clouds. Slowly, he stood and walked towards the eaves for shelter. He did not try to wipe off the rain that had fallen on him, allowing it to dampen his clothes.

The young man held his hands behind his back.

He watched as the rain gradually grew heavier.

After looking for a long time, he asked, “Zhu Shen, am I a disappointment?”

Zhu Shen had waited the entire day but was surprised to be asked this question. It was completely beyond his expectations. Why would his Excellency ask him if he was a disappointment?

Zhu Shen hastily cupped his fist and replied.

“Your Excellency, why would you think that? How could you be a disappointment? Every day, you attend to numerous affairs of the state and always give your all for Northern Liang. You prioritize your responsibility in Northern Liang above all else! You are a worthy minister of the country. Having you as the State Preceptor of Northern Liang reassures her Majesty and the people. Even as your servant, I believe I must have shown sincere gratitude in my last life to be able to serve you. This servant is very proud to have this duty.”

“I… forget it, I don’t know what I’m saying either.” Zhu Shen’s words made perfect sense, but Li Ruoxuan knew it did not answer the question he had asked.

“…” Zhu Shen did not understand.

Li Ruoxuan paused for a moment to gather his words before saying, “I’m not talking about Northern Liang. Putting aside my role, am I really a scheming, calculative person?

With that, he turned around.

He stared directly at Zhu Shen.

His deep and intimidating gaze made Zhu Shen tremble from head to toe. Zhu Shen’s mind a blank mess, he replied instinctively,”Your Excellency, as the State Preceptor, how can you look at yourself as just an ordinary individual? If you insist on judging yourself like this—you would not be able to hold this prestigious position if you weren’t special. If ministers such as you shared my level of capabilities, Northern Liang would have long ago been doomed.

After a pause, he then added in a small voice, “That being said, you’ve always said that one’s post is granted to them according to their level of responsibility.”

Li Ruoxuan heard Zhu Shen’s words and regained some self-confidence.

He was not the complete disappointment that Qi Qingyao had made him out to be.

She had even cursed him to be alone until the day he died.

That f*cker.

He was no longer interested in looking for a woman.

It was not that no one fancied him—he was the current State Preceptor!

If he desired a woman, she would still have to wait in line at the capital of Northern Liang to be chosen by him.

This woman was the only one who would be so foolish. He, the State Preceptor, had personally visited her residence to ask for her hand in marriage, yet she still refused him.

Blind fool!

Li Ruoxuan suddenly said, “Jiang Yeqian is planning to resign. Soon, he will no longer be the Head Grand Secretariat of Northern Liang.”

“…” Zhu Shen hesitated, wondering why Li Ruoxuan was telling him this.

Li Ruoxuan said, as if to himself, “Say, do you think he’s crazy or has just lost his mind? How could he not want to be the Head grand Secretariat and choose to resign at such a young age? I can’t place myself in the perspective of an outsider. As an ordinary person, help me understand this! Tell me, what could he be thinking, resigning like that?”

Ever since meeting Qi Qingyao, Li Ruoxuan had found it difficult to understand the series of events that unfolded around him. Now, even Jiang Yeqian wanted to resign.. One by one, everyone seemed to be going crazy.
