"Just received news from a scout, there's some activity in the capital, and I'm not at ease, so I came back to check." Mu Houchu strode in and raised his hand to touch Xin He's head.
Xin He was taken aback: "What activity?"
"Not sure yet, but the Emperor has called for a secret meeting with Minister Duan and Minister Song, two powerful ministers. I guess the Emperor is probably trying to stir up some trouble." Mu Houchu played with Xin He's hair while speaking casually.
"We're far away in Yu State, what kind of trouble can he stir up? It hasn't even been a year since we left the capital. Is he going to try to get rid of us immediately after taking power? He shouldn't fear the world's contempt." Xin He scoffed.
Mu Houchu bent the corners of his mouth, smiling, "He doesn't have the guts for that, but he probably can't stand doing nothing."
"What do you think it is?" Xin He asked, curious.
