When she saw the cold gaze in Zu An's eyes, Meng Chan was a bit alarmed. She didn’t dare to beat around the bush any longer and said, “I heard that you were looking for a Bai Ze horn.”5

Zu An was shocked. He immediately asked, “Where did you hear that from?”3

Meng Chan replied, “The regent doesn’t need to concern yourself with where I heard about this information. What’s important is that I can get you a Bai Ze horn.”2

Zu An said with a snort, “Even so, right now, I feel that it's more important for me to know how you came to know that I was looking for a Bai Ze horn.”2

At first, he had only mentioned it to the academy’s people. Later, he'd asked the Embroidered Envoy, Nan Xun, and some of the Eastern Palace’s officials to aid in the search. Regardless of which side he had requested the information from, the thought of a leak wasn't a trifling matter.0

“The regent is now being watched by prying eyes everywhere. Regardless of what you do, there will be countless people watching you. You ordered several people to help you look for those items. There are no walls that do not leak wind,” Meng Chan said with a self-pitying laugh. “King Dai Manor and the Meng clan might have fallen, but we are still a clan that has existed for a thousand years. There are some old friends who still remember the kindness we have shown them. They might not do other things for us, but this kind of small task is still possible.”2
