Lu Ningfeng escorted one hundred royal guards to the abode of the Second Prince. After the Second Prince accepted them, he returned to the Imperial Palace to report back to the Emperor.
Before he could reach the palace gates, Xiao Ze's carriage blocked his way. Xiao Ze poked his head out, "Commander Lu, where are you off to on official business?"
Lu Ningfeng saluted Xiao Ze and reported truthfully, "I was ordered by His Majesty to select one hundred guards from the royal guards and send them to the Second Prince's residence."
Xiao Ze felt a sinking feeling in his heart, "With the Second Prince's temperament, did he accept them?"
He didn't expect that right after the Emperor left in a huff due to Xiao Zhen, he immediately sent people from the royal guards to the Second Prince's residence, giving Xiao Zhen face.
Lu Ningfeng nodded, "The Second Prince accepted them."
Xiao Zhen's heart sank further. Indeed, with such a favor, how could Xiao Zhen not accept them?
