On their way back to King An's Imperial Residence, the four internal guards of the Imperial House followed Xiao Tieying closely.
The Imperial House's internal guards relaxed and stopped following Xiao Tieying closely only when they arrived at King An's Imperial Residence.
In the evening, the backyard of King An's Imperial Residence glowed due to the beautiful twilight.
Chu Li and Xiao Tieying conversed in a gazebo in the backyard.
"Chu Li, based on the things you said, do you have an opinion about the throne?"
Chu Li answered, "Big Brother, I shall not hide this from you, I'd like to let Xu An join the throne-claiming battle."
If he intended to urge Xu An to take over the throne, he needed more help instead of relying on his own. While the Public Houses seemed lacking in power, they had solid foundations and were strong in presence everywhere. Besides, hidden forces could usually win by surprise, and could also determine victory or defeat.
