In the carriage, a trusted guard advised Nangong Li cautiously, "General! That's the Imperial Palace! We cannot act rashly! Why not choose another day? Or perhaps wait for him to come out later!"
Nangong Li let out a cold snort, "Wait for him to come out? Don't you know who he's seeing today?"
The trusted guard said, "Know, know, His Majesty the King."
Nangong Li spoke irritably, "If Xiao Liulang reveals to His Majesty what we've been doing trying to kill him these past years, you and I won't live to see tomorrow morning!"
The trusted guard said, "His Majesty might not necessarily believe him!"
Nangong Li said coldly, "What if he does? In this world, you can guess anyone's thoughts, but the only exception is our Dayan's King, whose mind you can never fathom. He acts in peculiar ways, completely without any pattern, to say he's tyrannical, yet he might overlook a country child urinating on his shoes. It sounds unbelievable, but it's what I've seen with my own eyes."
