บท 672: A Friend

"What chance?"

"A chance for you to give up those meaningless and empty obsessions, to give no reason for anyone to kill you. Then you can remain in the Orthodox Academy, remain in the capital, and assist His Majesty."

"I don't understand."

"The Demon Empress spoke correctly on that night. Those princes are not to be trifled with and the Tianhai clan will not always act so well-behaved. Whether or not His Majesty can sit stably on the throne has always been a problem."

"Could it be that you do not trust in Teacher?"

"Principal Shang's loyalty does not require proof, but I would not mind if His Majesty could gain even more assistance."

Chen Changsheng had a rough understanding of Eunuch Lin's intentions.

Perhaps this truly was a chance for him and the Orthodox Academy, but he did not say anything.

Eunuch Lin advised, "Receive the decree, hand over Tianhai's body, make your stance known to the entire world, and remain at His Majesty's side."
