Yuanbao took a deep breath to calm himself, then turned around again, his gaze passing over the large stone lion, and finally fixing on Wang Xiaolang. After a moment, he said to Zhao Xi, "I'll take him back first."
"Song Hao." Zhao Xi stopped him, "If there's anything, say it here."
"It's inconvenient."
"There's nothing inconvenient." Zhao Xi insisted, "Take him inside, and you two can talk alone."
Yuanbao looked at him, "Has Your Highness forgotten? The Divine Soldier Bureau doesn't allow outsiders inside."
"That's the past, this is the present." Zhao Xi said, instructing the two Black Clerks, "Take him to the guest hall."
"Your Highness!" Yuanbao exclaimed in a low voice, "Have you ever considered the consequences if the Emperor finds out you let him in?"
Zhao Xi calmly replied, "You're impulsive by nature; if you take him back and he says something unpleasant, you will surely lose control."
