Huangfu Qing angrily kicked him off the bed: "I think the reason the Great Han can't subdue the regions is mainly because you've ruined its reputation! What a dirty Han!"
Zhao Changhe stood with his hands clasped, floating beside the bed, remaining silent with an earnest expression.
Huangfu Qing looked at his floating form with some amazement, but also kept silent with a sour expression.
"Ahem." Zhao Changhe coughed lightly: "What I want to say is, you can openly go abroad as a representative of the Great Han. Assuming a formal identity on a diplomatic mission, even if they want to harm you, it's difficult to do so publicly in broad daylight. Killing you without causing a city-wide uproar would be hard, making it safer. Of course, don't remove your mask, as there's no reason for an Empress Dowager to go abroad. Let's count it as a mission from the National Church Venerable, and coincidentally embroil Yuxu so people think he has ties with us."
