The elderly eunuch was silent for a moment before speaking, "Old Servant believes these rumors cannot be true. If Lord Li had practiced Confucianism, how could he possibly hide it from the Emperor and everyone else?"
"Not necessarily..." The Xia Emperor's eyes flickered as he said indifferently, "There are many things in this world that cannot be measured by common sense..., I have known him for twenty years, yet I still cannot see through him."
The old eunuch thought for a moment and said, "So all these years, the Emperor has frequently made him kill those Confucian officials?"
The Xia Emperor sighed and said, "Confucians like Su Meng are not frightening, but a Confucian who knows how to disguise and conceal is one we must guard against. Even though I have tested him countless times over the years, I still cannot trust him lightly..."
The old eunuch did not speak, and the hall sank into a long silence.
