"Uh, there's still news coming in."
"Oh? What is it, Qi Xiaomian?" he asked curiously. "Is it about the Auspicious Beast?"
Xuande Emperor's gaze flickered. "They say... they say it's a Qilin."
"A Qilin?! Is the news reliable? But Miss Sang said that there are no complete Qilins left in the world."
"Indeed, not very complete," Qi Xiaomian narrowed his eyes. "That means it's a Half-Demon! With the Qilin Bloodline and human cunning, what comes out is just a Monster."
Wisdom Supreme must have ulterior motives to call a Monster an Auspicious Beast. Once a Monster enters the court, the royal family will be in danger.
No matter how well he paints this matter, to me, it’s just him trying to bring disaster into Great Jing!
Ha, not long ago, we just uncovered a Dayu spy, and now another Wisdom Supreme presents a monster. Your Majesty, could this be a trap set by Great Yu Emperor?
Xuande Emperor was momentarily stunned. Under Qi Xiaomian's slightly forceful and concerned gaze, he couldn't afford to think too much and recounted much of what Wisdom Supreme had said that day, seemingly wanting Qi Xiaomian to help him analyze it.
Wisdom Supreme said that as long as we gather the Qilin Bloodline, we can merge it into a true Qilin. He observed the stars at night and calculated that Great Jing would become the ruler of the continent, so he sent the Auspicious Beast to help us achieve unification.
Qi Xiaomian shot Xuande Emperor a speechless look. "Uncle, is this what excites you? Can we be a bit more realistic? Any nation on this continent is on par with our Great Jing. With our current treasury strength, can we really take on four?"
"He said there would be a Qilin's assistance."
Qi Xiaomian interjected, "As for the apparent Qilin Bloodline, besides the one he mentioned and Misha, do we have half of it?"
"Close enough."
"Alright, even if it's half, what about the others? Where are they now? Is there any news?"
"We need to search."
Searching quietly will take time—decades or even centuries. If we search loudly, not only will it alarm those with the bloodline and make them hide deeper, but other nations will also catch wind of it. Do you think they would allow Great Jing to merge a Qilin?
By then, several nations would unite against us; Great Jing wouldn't be able to withstand it! Uncle, do you want to be the sinner of Great Jing?
Hearing this, Xuande Emperor wasn't angry; instead, he chuckled. "A Mian, why are you scaring your uncle? I haven't decided yet; I'm just discussing it with you."
"Just don't decide too hastily," Qi Xiaomian replied. "You should think about it more."
"Yes, yes," Xuande Emperor agreed.
As the day wore on and discussions became increasingly inappropriate, Qi Xiaomian feared going too far and shifted the topic back to the initial question. "Uncle, has someone impeached me for going out with Miss Sang?"
"Oh no, it's not that. Uncle just thinks that inviting a woman out in the middle of the night isn't good for her reputation, so he called you into the palace to scold you a bit. Who would have thought you'd end up lecturing him instead? I'm just worried about Uncle being deceived! Thank goodness you reminded me."
Qin Mu Hui feigned exhaustion, and Qi Xiaomian took the opportunity to step back, secretly exchanging a glance with Cai Zhuo.
After waiting for a while in a hidden corner of the palace, Cai Zhuo finally arrived.
"Cai Gonggong, the Emperor's daily needs still go through your hands, right?"
Cai Zhuo frowned. "Marquis, what do you mean by that?"
Qi Xiaomian pondered for a moment before responding, "Both of us genuinely want what's best for the Emperor. I'll speak frankly with you—don't you think the Emperor's recent behavior has been somewhat different from his usual self?"
