Chapter 267: Arrived with Expectations but Left with Disappointments

At this moment, the doorman came over again, "Guard Han, the Jingzhao Prefecture yamen runners said that someone saw four servants from the He Mansion entering the palace today."

Han Lin's face darkened as he glanced at Censor He and said, "Xu Yang, take some people and see. Now anyone can be framed in our palace."

"If anyone steps into the palace gate without permission, their legs will be chopped off."

"Yes."

Xu Yang, along with several guards, gripped his sword tightly and headed towards the gate aggressively.

Censor He heard the hidden meaning in Han Lin's words, and with a sarcastic tone, his face turned ashen, and he snorted coldly, "Guard Han, since the yamen runners are here, why don't you let everyone find out what's going on? Could it be that the four servants in my mansion are indeed in the prince's mansion?"

"You should know that detaining someone without permission is a crime under our dynasty's laws. Even if you are a top-ranking guard in the palace, you are not immune to this punishment."

Han Lin said coldly, "Censor He is so certain that your servant is in the palace. Could it be that this is all premeditated? Do you ministers have the right to roam freely and investigate the prince? As long as you have the emperor's decree, I will not stop you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Censor He was determined to get the four servants out of the palace. Even if Shen Xue went to beat the drum to complain tomorrow, it would be useless without witnesses.

However, Han Lin's tough attitude made him a little worried. If he couldn't take the servant away tonight, something would definitely happen tomorrow.

"Whether it was premeditated or not, we'll know once we find out."

Han Lin snorted coldly, "Censor He, do you think your position is higher than that of a prince? Or perhaps you can be the emperor's boss? Then I must go to the palace and ask the emperor: is your power greater, Censor He, or is the emperor's majesty more intimidating?"

"Guard Han, please do not make false accusations against me. No one is allowed to violate the Emperor's majesty."

"It's good that you know. I thought you were going to be the boss of Daqi."

"Don't talk nonsense and slander me. I have never dared to overstep my bounds."

When they arrived at the palace gate, the yamen runners greeted them with a smile, "This humble servant greets Lord He."

"Where is Lord Su?"

"Your Excellency is unwell and has sent me here to assist you with this matter."

"Since the four servants of my house have been brought into the palace, how do you think we can resolve this?"

The bailiff looked at the guards, each of whom had an expressionless face like Emperor Rakshasa. If he dared to challenge them, he would be asking for death.

He glanced at the gloomy Censor He and quickly said with a smile, "Master He, Master Su has asked me to assist you in handling this matter. How can we, mere yamen runners, show off our power in front of you?"

"You, my lord, should make the decision! Besides, it's not appropriate for the four servants to cause trouble in the palace. How about I send the four servants to your palace tomorrow? What do you think?"

Censor He understood the yamen runners' implication: they were playing fence-sitters, not wanting to offend either side and merely going through the motions. It seemed they couldn't take the four servants with them today.

He turned to look at Han Lin and said in a cold voice, "Guard Han, the censor has recorded what happened today."

Han Lin, however, showed no fear. He smiled faintly and replied, "You need not threaten me, Censor He. The innocent will be innocent. If Censor He insists on searching the palace, then he must obtain the emperor's decree first. Otherwise, anyone who dares to enter the palace will be sent back in horizontally. If that doesn't work, we'll try it ourselves."

Censor He was so angry that he stormed out, and the bailiffs hurried away upon seeing this.

Censor He returned to his main courtyard, furious and humiliated. He roared, "How could a guard be so arrogant and domineering? He's just a dog in the palace, yet he thinks he's the master. How absurd!"

He looked at Madam He again and asked quickly, "How are you doing over there?"

"The Princess's Mansion, the servant said the Princess is recuperating from her injuries and is closed to visitors."

"It seems that negotiation is not feasible. We can only wait for them to leave the house and do everything we can to kill Huichun and make sure there is no evidence against him."

"That's the only way, but then we'll become enemies."

"I'm not afraid of him being just a guard. Once the Crown Prince gains power, these guards will only end up dead if they dare to challenge me."

Censor He sent people to closely monitor every move of the prince's mansion and the princess's mansion.

When Shen Nan returned to the Princess's Mansion and learned that Shen Xue was going to the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen to file a complaint tomorrow, he said firmly: "Second sister, tomorrow the teacher and I will ask for leave to accompany you to the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen."

"Just study hard and don't worry about anything else. Han Lin and the others will accompany me."

"I want to go with you."

"Xiao Nan, be good and obedient. I will tell you when Second Sister needs you."

"OK then!"

"Remember to send someone to inform me if anything happens."

"I see."
