Chapter 543: 338

Yan Wenli sighed softly and said, "It’s hard for even a fair official to settle domestic disputes. As the king of a nation, you still have to agonize over such matters."

"Isn’t that the truth?" Zhong Daolong poured himself a cup of wine, gently swirling it in his hand. "As a father, I must constantly strive to consider my children’s thoughts, account for their feelings, and maintain their dignity. But who cares about my feelings?"

"The one who suffers the most from this is me—does anyone care about my thoughts and feelings, or think about... think about taking some of my worries instead of tearing at each other?"

"It’s not that serious, it’s just the children squabbling amongst themselves. Children in ordinary families argue, let alone those of the royal family." Yan Wenli spoke up in consolation.

Zhong Daolong looked at Yan Wenli and said, "You have it easy, not having to worry about all these messy affairs."

"Heh heh heh, what is there for you to envy about me, a man without children or a family line? You have both sons and daughters; in the future, you will enjoy great blessings from them."

"Only Phoenix is a bit more considerate; those two sons... I just hope they don’t drive me mad."

"A good daughter and good sons indeed. It’s just some misunderstandings that have cropped up in between. Once things are resolved, it’ll be fine."

After hearing Yan Wenli’s words, Zhong Daolong seemed to have made up his mind and said aloud, "Let Tang Fei continue the investigation into this case."

Yan Wenli was quite startled and looked at Zhong Daolong, asking, "Continue the investigation?"

"Since the matter has already occurred, we can’t keep it under wraps. Then let the investigation go on, to make it clear and transparent, to let the truth emerge."

"But in doing so... what about the Yu Family?"

Yan Wenli was well aware that if the case were truly to be investigated, Yu Huoshui might find himself deeply implicated.

More seriously, he might even lose his life.

One Yu Huoshui is not a concern, but what about the Yu Family?

Considering the relationship between the royal family and the Yu Family, how would they deal with Yu Huoshui at that time?

Let go? Impossible.

Execute? Even less conceivable.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, wouldn’t that put the Monitoring Bureau on the hot seat?

Thus, he wanted Zhong Daolong to give a clear stance first.

Zhong Daolong looked icy and angrily said, "If they can’t teach their own children, who can they blame?"

"Proceed with the investigation to give Zhong Tianque peace of mind, to let out the anger boiling inside him. It also serves as a warning to Zhong Tianyi, to let him know that the throne has nothing to do with him, and he shouldn’t harbor any crooked thoughts anymore."

Yan Wenli bowed slightly to Zhong Daolong and praised, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Wise?" Zhong Daolong scoffed. "If I were truly wise, I wouldn’t have raised the children to be like this."

Yan Wenli stood by with a forced smile, a topic he dared not touch or comment on.

Knowing that Yan Wenli did not want to get involved in the royal family’s domestic affairs, Zhong Daolong went on to say, "And about Tang Fei, make sure he’s guided properly... don’t let him spend all his time and energy on this case. There are more important matters that need his attention."

"Yes." Yan Wenli immediately stood up and bowed formally, saying with a serious expression, "The oversight in this incident is my responsibility; I will assign him some important cases to handle upon my return."

"Mhm." Zhong Daolong nodded and said, "Relying solely on Tang Fei, the strength of the cut is still insufficient."

"What does Your Majesty imply?"

"It’s time for the Monitoring Bureau to make a move."

"Now?"

"Now."

Yan Wenli’s gaze shone terrifyingly bright as he said in a grave tone, "The Monitoring Bureau will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty."
