Chapter 1234 - 551: Vermilion Crown Prince, Buddha Shows Saint
[You and the White Elephant Demon easily took care of the guards outside the hall without making any sound, silently sneaking into the Wen Hua Hall.]
[The Wen Hua Hall was brightly lit, with no maids or servants in sight. Only a black-robed middle-aged man was facing away from you, hunched over a desk, holding a booklet in his hands and softly chanting...]
[A state that governs the good with the wicked will surely fall into chaos, but a state that governs the wicked with the good will be well-governed and become strong...]
[When the people are weak, the state is strong; when the people are strong, the state is weak. Therefore, in a state that follows the Way, priority is placed on weakening the people...]
[There was something odd about the man’s recitation, as if he was struggling to restrain something.]
[Soon, the man’s body shuddered, and his reading came to an abrupt halt.]
[You and the White Elephant Demon looked closely and were surprised to see a beautiful woman kneeling under the desk, softly coughing and wiping the corner of her mouth as she emerged from under the desk...]
[You and the White Elephant Demon caught each other’s eye and tacitly hid behind a screen to secretly observe.]
[The woman’s voice reached your ears, "Your Highness, it’s getting late. It should return to the palace."]
