Cyan Sparrow figured as much. 'This Master Xu is only in his twenties, just an ordinary eunuch. He was probably kicked out of the Imperial Palace for being lazy and greedy. Living in a rundown courtyard like this, how could he possibly be some reclusive master? It seems my desperation to cultivate is driving me mad.'
Cyan Sparrow went back inside.
A moment later.
She poked her head back out and said.
"I'll boil some water for you. You should wash up."
"It's gotten cold."
"Don't catch a chill."
Su Chen nodded and turned to go back inside. He had only taken two steps when he felt something hard in the dirt under his feet. He looked down and saw a bright yellow brocade scroll.
'This looks a bit like...'
'An Imperial Decree?'
He unrolled it. Sure enough, it was the Xuanlong Emperor's final decree concerning his succession.
At the same time.
It was also an imperial decree ordering the death of the Crown Prince.
The reason given was that the Crown Prince had committed treason!
