So, was it the emperor who was doubting his loyalty?
Was that the reason why Zhou Sheng had been sent to his family? To infiltrate them or to weaken them from the inside?
However, why didn't the monarch believe him? Because of the matter of the army tally? Or did the emperor know that Ning Fu had sent one of his subordinates to ensure about Imperial matters when he had just returned to the capital?
Fearing for the worst, Ning Fu asked, "Why? Did His Majesty ask you to look into him or his subordinates?"
Ning Fu takes at the naivety of his subordinate and replied, "His Majesty is so benevolent. How would he think that this bastard has a heart made out of stone and treacherous thoughts? But we as His Majesty's shield can't forget how this guy had lingered in The Imperial Palace for days on end before Zhou Sheng had entered the palace?"
