Of course, that's just what he thought to himself.
This fellow's true intention, however, is to keep both teams in his own hands.
He had his own schemes; if this young Emperor was just bluffing or intended to use some tricks on him, he could simply disengage and return to the Right Martial Guard.
At that point, he could just wash his hands off the matters of the Imperial Guards.
After all, his influence in the Right Martial Guard was solid as iron. Not even this young Emperor, nor the Fourth Prince, would dare to easily replace him.
That was the very basis of his arrogance.
Including previously when the young Emperor had just married Miss Mu, the Fourth Prince more than once warned him to be cautious.
Not to act rashly and recklessly as he had before in the palace.
Saying to be careful lest that old Master Mu meddle.
Initially, he had been worried, but after probing today, he felt that the Fourth Prince was overthinking.
