North of Li Jing, the imperial summer retreat, Ganlu Temple.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Mingqian from the Inspection Department requests an audience outside." A eunuch by Zhao Rui's side lowered his head and came over with small steps.
"Inspection Department, what's his purpose? Let him come in."
"Yes."
Moments later, a figure in gray followed the eunuch into the main hall. The presence of the visitor was restrained; initially, no sound was heard from his footsteps, but upon entering the inner hall, he intentionally walked normally.
Zhao Mingqian, a royal expert, leads the Inspection Department, overseeing all the major sects in Da Li for the royal family, acting alongside the Royal Court as specialized agencies controlling the martial arts world.
These martial arts sects are more dangerous than the military officers and nobility, so naturally, the Da Li royal family could not relax its vigilance towards them.
