As night fell, the lamps in the National Master Hall gradually lit up.
Xiaojiu had gone to play leaf cards with Shangguan Yun, both bored, so he taught the card tricks he had learned from his aunt to Shangguan Yun and two disciples of the National Master Hall.
The four of them gathered at a table, just right.
In Xiao Hen's chamber, four people and one bird assembled.
The bird was Xiaojiu, which was responsible for standing guard. Although there was no one surveilling them in the National Master Hall, it's always good to be cautious.
Gu Jiao, Xiao Hen, Gu Changqing, and Gu Chengfeng sat around the table.
Gu Changqing said, "Have you all heard about what happened with the Mu and Han Families?"
The three nodded together.
With such a disturbance, it would be difficult not to hear about it, especially since Xiao Hen now had the identity of the crown prince, making it exceedingly easy to gather such information.
