Yu Jie had made sure no one was a witness to his actions inside the tavern, the shopkeeper did not think of him because it must have been shut up after being given that much money.
Yu Jie himself after immediately stepped towards the royal palace, the palace was in the center of the city where there were other walls surrounding it as if there was a city within the city.
Yu Jie was there not without reason, Mu Yang was indeed assigned by him to infiltrate inside and while no one knew about him, he was, Mu Yang could pretend to support the first prince like the others.
This plan seemed to have been successfully seen from Mu Yang who had not once seen him the past few days, Mu Yang had also conveyed before leaving if Yu Jie wanted to meet then Yu Jie was the one who had to come because he could not carelessly act because his movements would always be noticed.
The first prince indeed known to Mu Yang as a cautious figure, he suddenly joined without a fight clearly arousing suspicion.
Yu Jie had originally intended to wait for Mu Yang who had come to her after the first prince's suspicions on Mu Yang subsided, but had since run out of his money, it had been, Yu Jie had no other choice but to come see Mu Yang as soon as possible while asking Xiang He's latest condition in the palace.
“Hey, stop there!!!"
Yu Jie stopped his steps as per the cry of a guard, indeed in front of the palace gate were four people with each sword in their hands.
“What are you doing here?!!" One of them approached Yu Jie.
Yu Jie with an innocent face showed her a smile, giving the impression of her being harmless so the guards did not put much suspicion on her.
What Yu Jie did proved to be a success as the guard started to lower his voice, no longer shouting as before.
“Nak, what's your purpose here?" ask the guard.
“I want to meet General Yang." Yu Jie as she smiled kindly.
The soldier in front of Yu Jie immediately approached his three friends, seemingly asking their opinions regarding what Yu Jie asked for.
“General Which? What's your relationship with him?" asked one of the soldiers after hearing the destination of Yu Jie's arrival.
“I happened to come to the capital with him, he said I can meet him at any time if need help," said Yu Jie who this time was ready to draw his sword.
Yu Jie was ready just in case the good ways failed to bring him in, it wouldn't mind also having to finish off the four guards if they made things difficult for him.
“Oh, you're that scholar candidate?" ask one of them to remember something.
Yu Jie immediately nodded, praising Mu Yang in his heart as the man did not forget to do anything to make it easier for him.
“You stay on guard, I will take him to the residence where General Yang lives" said one of the guards to three friends.
“Do these things have to be done? What if we ask the boss for permission first?" ask one of the three.
“Ask what? You think General Yang needs permission from our superiors who are his subordinates to receive guests?" the guard chimpanzee.
Yu Jie was eventually ushered by one guard into the palace, taking him to a sizable residence quite far from the main building.
The guard was seen knocking several times on the gate of the residence where Mu Yang was staying, not long before Mu Yang appeared before being surprised to see Yu Jie's presence.
“Oh, please come in. You, wait here," Mu Yang said to Yu Jie but not with the guard who escorted him.
Right after Yu Jie as well as Mu Yang got inside, immediately Mu Yang saluted Yu Jie, after which asked Yu Jie the reason for meeting him like this.
“Tell me the conditions inside the palace, all of you tell me also the news of Xiang He and is where he is." Yu Jie without further ado.
Mu Yang immediately explained that the condition of the palace was now so chaotic, especially for him because he had to see almost all the royal officials were busy licking the first prince.
“That's normal, especially now that the first prince is the most favored to occupy the king's seat," Yu Jie said nodding in understanding, which with this has been ascertained if everyone in the palace is his enemy.
Mu Yang afterwards explained Xiang He's condition, the young woman saw Mu Yang being treated kindly by the first prince who was indeed her brother.
However, this does not rule out the fact that Xiang He's life is now no different from living in a prison in the form of the main palace building.
“Mr Princess absolutely must not set foot outside, just to meet her was so difficult for me to do that I was worried, Young Master Jie," Mu Yang said.
Yu Jie nodded softly in understanding, the political ability of the first prince himself admitted quite well by closing the wiggle room of Xiang He who was the only threat to the throne he was after.
“The first prince will almost certainly succeed in achieving his ambition .. It's a pity that I will thwart him," Yu Jie said with a smile suddenly appearing on his face.
Mu Yang immediately gulped looking at Yu Jie's hideous smile, this had been several times but he still couldn't get used to seeing it.
“Young Master Jie, now what are our plans?" mu Yang asked, wanting to know Yu Jie's thoughts until such a smile could appear.
“First, do you have any money?"
“Eh .. sorry?" You are afraid to hear wrong.
“Tell me, if you need to take it and bring it all here," Yu Jie said in seriousness.
Mu Yang unsuspectingly immediately walked into his room before returning with two bags filled with gold coins, after that handed the money to Yu Jie to see what Yu Jie wanted to do with the money so that it could look that serious.
“10 thousand gold coins in each of these pockets, Young Master Jie," Mu Yang said staring curiously.
“Good, I take this and you just need to relax until I meet again," Yu Jie said before stepping out without explanation.
Mu Yang only nodded at first, until not for long he felt that something was wrong with this.
“Wait, Young Master Jie brought all my money .. is this blackmail?" Mu Yang was full of question marks.
Mu Yang had been silent for a while before sighing long, seeming resigned himself to not want to think about it all.
“Already, maybe Young Master Jie does need all that money to carry out his plan .. I hope it's true like this," Mu Yang said quite limply, saying, not to let it go but not to dare to ask for it back.
Yu Jie himself after successfully getting the money that was the reason for coming there clearly felt happy, his goal came already fulfilled but did not immediately have the mind to leave.
“Cause I'm already here, what if I visit Xiang He all?" muttered Yu Jie, somewhat worried also about the condition of the princess of the Iron Armor kingdom.
