Chapter 412: Not Easy to Win Over_1

Zhulan laughed to her heart's content before asking, "What is Shi Qing here for? He first piqued my curiosity, and then sent a letter saying he wanted to visit. I found it not so simple and turned him down."

Zhou Shuren conveyed Shi Qing's letter to Zhulan, who frowned, "In the capital, there are plenty of people who could be Shi Qing's master. Why did the Emperor let Shi Qing take you as his master?"

Zhulan realized as soon as she finished speaking, "Look at the foolish question I asked. Given Shi Qing's status and the matters he's involved with, there's no one in the capital willing to take him in. Moreover, the Emperor doesn't want people to know he's cultivating Shi Qing, so it's even more important that Shi Qing's master cannot be found in the capital. The Emperor recognizes your abilities and schemes, and you are not in the capital."
