"If there is something important, I can do it alone. It will take time before His Highness trusts you."

The implication is that it takes time for the fifth prince to believe in Ye Wudao. If some secrets are mentioned and told to Ye Wudao, wouldn't it be a bad thing?

The fifth prince suddenly felt a little bit of displeasure in his heart, even though Wu Shangshu was his father-in-law, and also his confidant, he couldn't say that he was rude to contradict him like this, it could be regarded as frank and honest.

However, the fifth prince already had dissatisfaction and suspicion towards Wu Shangshu, so he was naturally unhappy now, but on the surface, he still spoke with a joyful smile.

"Father-in-law, it wasn't his fault that Fellow Daoist Ye was on the wrong team before. Now that Fellow Daoist Ye is able to know where he lost his way, I'm very relieved. Don't say these words anymore. It can't affect our unity."

Ye Wudao also bowed his hands to Wu Shangshu, and said with a smile, "Master Shangshu, I have offended you a lot before, but it was all unintentional. I hope you will forgive me."

Wu Shangshu was very upset with Ye Wudao, and his face did not improve much when he heard the words, but for the sake of the Fifth Prince, he sat down and nodded.

"Well."

The Fifth Prince looked at Ye Wudao and gave him a gesture.

Then, Ye Wudao said, "Yesterday, I heard that the guards of our Imperial Palace caught a lot of evil cultivators, so that many criminal cases and wanted criminals were also closed. This is a great achievement."

Wu Shangshu said lightly, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Ye Wudao said with a dry smile, "Naturally, I didn't mean to ask for credit. After all, I don't know the process of this matter at all. What I want to say now is, why hasn't the sage up to now any intention of rewarding?"

Wu Shangshu glared at Ye Wudao, and said angrily, "Can I control the will of the Holy One?"

"I'm not asking you, Master Shangshu." Ye Wudao pretended to be terrified, and said, "I'm not blaming anyone, but whether it contains the meaning of the Holy One, we still need to figure it out."

The fifth prince's face was also not very good-looking, and he said, "Father's orders are usually issued very quickly. For such an important matter, I have not been rewarded until now. It really makes me a little... uneasy."

Seeing the fifth prince speak his mind, Wu Shangshu's face became more solemn, and said, "Your Highness, the time has not come, and this matter is too hasty. Everyone can see that we are deliberately creating credit for ourselves."

"I told you before that we need to wait for an opportunity to make Shengshang Longyan happy. Now the time has not come."

"In recent days, our Ministry of Industry has received many land donations from princes and daughters. The affairs of the Ministry of Industry are also a mess, and we are so busy that we can only wait for some time to find a way to please the Holy Majesty first, and then let this credit Add it to yourself."

"In this way, the Holy One can reward."

Ye Wudao said slowly, "Master Shangshu is saying that eradicating evil cultivators is not important anymore?"

Wu Shangshu responded indifferently, "Ye Wudao, I'm talking about business now. If His Highness can ascend the throne, then any evil cultivation is not worth mentioning."

Ye Wudao said, "Then what kind of opportunity does Shang Shu want to wait for? I haven't heard it very clearly?"

Wu Shangshu snorted, "Naturally, the reward will come as promised when the Holy Majesty is happy."

Ye Wudao said again, "Then the reward has arrived, is there any benefit?"

"You mean to make things difficult for me, don't you?" Wu Shangshu stared.

Ye Wudao laughed, "Evil cultivators should have been eradicated long ago, instead of waiting, and half of this credit should be given to the First Prince. The First Prince also hopes that His Highness will stand by him."

"I've already considered it." Wu Shangshu said, "But I told the eldest prince, but there was no response. What do you think should be done? Are you being courteous on purpose?"

Ye Wudao said, "If you don't answer, you will acquiesce. If you don't need it, they will definitely refuse it directly. I didn't expect Master Shangshu to be so safe and dare not judge."

"With your wisdom, can't you see that..." JrNovels.com
