Chapter 2744: Unexpected Discovery_1

Thereupon, Tang Yuehua turned her gaze to Tang San and spoke, "Tang San, you may step back for now! I have matters to discuss with His Majesty the Emperor."

Since Xue Ye had not pursued the matter, Tang San's joining the Court Etiquette Academy despite not being a noble scion should be overlooked from now on!

Staying here would only hinder him!

Tang San naturally understood her meaning and nodded, "Yes, Aunt!"

After all, she had already made their relationship known, so there was no need to hide it from Xue Ye!

Immediately after, he turned toward Xue Ye in the front, and spoke with an extremely respectful tone, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Tang San will not disturb your conversation with my aunt and will take his leave first!"

Xue Ye merely calmly "Hmm!" in response…

He wasn't interested in Tang San and naturally didn't care about his departure!

After receiving approval, Tang San signaled and quickly left the great hall…

Seeing this, Xue Ye finally spoke up, "Then, Chief Tang, regarding Princess Xue Ke, do you have something to say?"

Tang Yuehua's expression became a bit more serious, "This is the thing, in recent days, I've noticed that Princess Xue Ke seems somewhat distracted while learning etiquette and often makes mistakes!"

"From what I see, this is completely out of character for her, so I wanted to ask Your Majesty, has something happened to Princess Xue Ke?"

When it comes to etiquette, she is extremely strict, no matter who the other party is!

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye's brow furrowed slightly, "Distracted? Could it be that…"

Could it be because of Xu Sheng?

He had just heard from Qing He the other day that Xue Ke had developed feelings for Xu Sheng!

It seemed to be true!

It even affected her etiquette studies!

Seeing his reaction, Tang Yuehua seemed to deduce something and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know something?"

Xue Ye knew that keeping this matter hidden wasn't the right choice and said gravely, "Hmm… to be frank, Chief Tang, the girl Xue Ke, seems to have taken a liking to a boy, perhaps this is the reason!"

Tang Yuehua appeared slightly surprised, "She took a liking to a boy? Is he a noble scion too?"

If that were the case, then it wasn't something she should intervene in!

Xue Ye shook his head to negate, "No… he is not a noble scion, strictly speaking, just a servant of Qing He!"

Tang Yuehua propped her chin in thought, "The Crown Prince's servant, could it be that Xu Sheng??"

Suddenly, she realized something...

She had been puzzled why the relationship between Xue Ke and Tang San had improved by so much, and now it seemed it was because of Xu Sheng!!

The two youngsters must have reached some kind of cooperation!

Upon hearing the name Xu Sheng, Xue Ye was visibly surprised but quickly recalled something...

"Chief Tang, you are also aware of that Xu Sheng? Oh… I almost forgot, it was I who had Qing He take Xu Sheng to the Court Etiquette Academy!"

"With his excellent performance, he must have caught Chief Tang's attention as well!"

Tang Yuehua came back to her senses and noncommittally said, "Hmm, that child named Xu Sheng is very outstanding, he is in no way inferior to the Crown Prince!"

After a pause, she raised her voice again, "So, what about the matter concerning Princess Xue Ke?"

Xue Ye took a deep breath, "I will have Xue Ke pay more attention later on, to ensure it doesn't affect her studies."

Hearing this, Tang Yuehua decided not to intervene any further and bowed with folded hands, "Then I'll trouble Your Majesty to inform Princess Xue Ke."

"If Your Majesty has nothing else to inquire about, then I will take my leave first!"

As she was about to turn around, Xue Ye interrupted her, "Wait… Chief Tang!"

Tang Yuehua also stopped in her tracks, puzzled, "Your Majesty?"

Xue Ye narrowed his eyes, "Chief Tang, how much do you know about that Xu Sheng?"

Tang Yuehua was startled for a moment and said unconsciously, "Xu Sheng? I don't really understand him, having only met a few times. If I must say, my nephew seems to have a very close relationship with him!"

Xue Ye immediately became interested, "Oh? Tang San and Xu Sheng are close?"

These two people shouldn't have any intersection from any angle!

Tang Yuehua's Beautiful Eyes flickered, "If His Majesty the Emperor wishes to know, shall I have Tang San come in?"

"Hmm…."

Xue Ye did not provide a specific reply….

….

A few days later, Xue Ke brought Tang San to the imperial palace again and left with Xu Sheng, having a great day together….

It was only until nightfall that Xue Ke made an elegant turn, showing Xu Sheng a serene smile, "Xu Sheng, thank you for accompanying me today, though of course, it would have been better without Tang San!"

Standing nearby, Tang San's face was covered with black lines as he muttered, "Princess Xue Ke, I'm still here!"

If he had known it would be like this, he would not have gotten involved….

In Xue Ke's eyes, only Xu Sheng existed; he was like an invisible man!

Xu Sheng responded with a smile as well, "Mmm, I feel the same way, but Princess Xue Ke, it is getting late, you should return to the imperial palace!"

Xue Ke nodded, "Mmm!"

The next second, several Soul Master appeared beside her….

Clearly, they were sent by Xue Ye, the emperor, to protect her!

Xue Ke waved to Xu Sheng again, "Well then, Xu Sheng, see you another day!"

Having said this, she left with the Soul Masters….

When only the two of them remained, Xu Sheng glanced at Tang San and teased, "Xiaosan, it seems that Princess Xue Ke quite dislikes you, eh!"

The latter rolled his eyes, "Brother Sheng, you don't need to tell me that; I know it already. If it weren't for wanting to see you, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with her!"

"But now that Princess Xue Ke has left, I can finally have a private conversation with you, Brother Sheng"

Xu Sheng's expression remained unaltered, "A private conversation? Didn't we already talk about what needed to be said at the Court Etiquette Academy?"

Tang San's expression became serious, "At the Court Etiquette Academy, there were many Noble Scions around, and some things were inconvenient to discuss!"

Xu Sheng rarely offered praise, "Mmm, it seems you haven't wasted your time entirely at the Court Etiquette Academy; you have learned something after all!"

Tang San retorted, "Brother Sheng, don't look down on me like that…"

However, the next sentence from Xu Sheng sent shivers down his back….

"But… have you ever considered that someone might be monitoring us?"

Tang San swallowed, scanning his surroundings cautiously; only when he found nothing abnormal did he speak, "Brother… Brother Sheng, you're not joking, are you?"

Xu Sheng did not explain, just glanced in a certain direction, "Perhaps it's just my imagination!"

"Come on, let's walk and talk. You can't stay outside for too long, can you?"

Tang San did not deny it, "Mmm!"

If it got too late, he wouldn't be able to return to the Court Etiquette Academy!

Little did they know, as soon as they had left, several waves of soul power fluctuation appeared in the surrounding space….

But they did not continue to follow….
