"Are you just going to ignore the matter of the assassin? If we go back like this, won't the clues be lost?"
When Lu Chen heard that Gu Chengyu wanted to return to the Capital, he quickly spoke anxiously.
"Those people have already abandoned their mission to assassinate me, haven't you noticed? Staying in Yingnan Mansion is no longer useful; just let Mr. Hu stay a few more days."
In reality, he was worried that the Emperor couldn't hold on and might pass away. If that happened when he was not in the Capital, who knew what changes might transpire.
"But the people of Da Xing residing in our Dayan certainly have ulterior motives. If we don't capture them, who knows what kind of chaos they might stir up. And that Young Master, I have always felt he's a key figure; we can't just stand by and watch these people cause havoc in Dayan! Under the collapsed nest, no egg is unbroken. As officials of Dayan, it's our duty to eliminate dissidents."
