As the gold and jade inlaid belt fell to the ground, An Lushan finally took off his armor completely, leaving only the purple round-necked long sleeves. He looked in the direction of Taiji Palace with a gloomy face, and then suddenly a look of joy appeared on his face.
The saint is a man of great dignity and would never allow himself, the governor of two towns, to be humiliated in public by that Anxi brat!
Although An Lushan already knew that Ethan Shen held a special status in front of the saint and the imperial Concub!ne when he was in the Daming Palace, he still didn't believe that a mere pretty boy who played the piano and music could be more valuable than him, the governor of two towns.
In the Imperial City Square, many officials began to whisper as they watched the eunuchs surrounded by guards coming from the direction of the Taiji Palace. They all felt, as An Lushan did, that this was a sign of the saint's intervention. To be honest, they also found it strange that although Ethan Shen was famous in Chang'an, he could not force An Lushan to bow his head.
Everyone knew what happened in the assassination outside Huaiyuanfang, but the great Sa Bao of the Ao Temple hanged himself, and An Shouzhong, a general under An Lushan, was sentenced to death for being the mastermind behind the murder because he was angry about his lord being humiliated. Everyone thought that the matter had come to an end, but who would have thought that there would be so many twists and turns.
