Chapter 5184

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

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

The fifth prince felt a little displeased in his heart. Even though Wu Shangshu was his father-in-law and his confidant, he could not be said to be rude when he contradicted him like this. It was considered as speaking out from the bottom of his heart.

However, the fifth prince was already dissatisfied and suspicious of Wu Shangshu, and he was naturally unhappy now. However, on the surface, he still spoke with a happy smile.

"Father-in-law, Fellow Daoist Ye was on the wrong team before. It was not his fault. Now that Fellow Daoist Ye is able to find his way back, I am very relieved. I will stop saying these words as they will not affect our unity."

Ye Wudao also bowed his hand to Wu Shangshu and said with a smile: "Sir Shangshu, I have offended you many times before, but it was all unintentional. I hope you can forgive me."

Wu Shangshu was very upset with Ye Wudao, and his expression did not improve much after hearing this, but for the sake of the fifth prince, he still sat down and nodded.

"That's good."

The fifth prince looked at Ye Wudao and gestured.

Then, Ye Wudao said: "Yesterday, I heard that our royal guards caught many evil cultivators, and many cases of the Criminal Department and wanted criminals were completed. This is a great achievement."

Wu Shangshu said calmly: "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Ye Wudao smiled dryly and said: "Of course, I have no intention of asking for credit. After all, I have no knowledge of the process of this matter. What I want to say now is, why has the Holy Spirit not given any reward until now?"

Wu Shangshu glared at Ye Wudao and said angrily: "Can I influence the will of the Holy Emperor?"

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

The fifth prince's expression was not very good, and he said: "Father's orders are usually issued very quickly. For such an important matter, I have not been rewarded until now, which does make me a little... uneasy."

Seeing the fifth prince speaking his mind, Wu Shangshu's expression became more solemn and he said: "Your Highness, the time has not come yet. This matter has been done too hastily. Everyone can see that we are deliberately making merit for ourselves."

"I told you before that we need to wait for a time to make the Holy Lord Long Yan happy. Now the time has not come."

"In recent days, our Ministry of Works has received many land donations from princes and princesses. The affairs of the Ministry of Works are also a mess. We are so busy that we can only wait for some time to think of ways to please the Holy One first and then let this credit go to us. Add it to your body.”

"Only in this way can the Holy Spirit reward you."

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

Wu Shangshu responded indifferently: "Ye Wudao, we are talking about business now. If His Highness can ascend the throne, then any evil cultivator will not be worth mentioning."

Ye Wudao said: "Then what kind of opportunity does Master Shangshu say we should wait for? I didn't understand it clearly?"

Wu Shangshu groaned: "Of course, the reward will come as promised when the Holy One is happy."

Ye Wudao said again: "Now that the reward has arrived, what's the benefit?"

"You are deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, right?" Wu Shangshu glared.

Ye Wudao laughed: "The evil cultivators should have been eradicated long ago instead of waiting, and half of the credit should be given to the eldest prince. The eldest prince also hopes that His Highness will stand on his side."

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

Ye Wudao said: "Not answering is acquiescence. If it is not needed, they will definitely reject it directly. I didn't expect Lord Shangshu to be so secure and dare not make a judgment."

"With your wisdom, can't you see..."
