The secretary shook his head. "I don't know either. But although His Royal Highness managed to find a way out of this embarrassing situation, he did speak up for the Huo family."
Murray's face darkened. Was Luo Qi trying to rope in the Huo family?
But had he forgotten that the Huo family was close to the other members of the royal family? It would be ridiculous for him to try to rope them in.
Although his plan had failed last night, Luo Qi's actions reminded him once again that it was time for him to stand on the Earl's side once again.
After thinking for a while, Murray said, "Prepare two gifts. Send one to Mister Van and the other to the Second Prince."
Hearing this, the secretary was slightly puzzled.
He knew the reason for giving Mr. Fan a gift, but for the Second Prince...
A thought occurred to the secretary. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "The Second Prince is indeed more capable than His Royal Highness Luo Qi. Also, he has been trying to reach out to us for the past two years. I'll make the preparations now."
If the Earl's family continued to support Luo Qi, they would be going downhill from now on.
They should have done this long ago.
Before long, the secretary left the Earl's residence.
The moment he left, one of his men hurried over to report something.
"Your Excellency, the Governor just sent this over. The Arms Bureau has cut off all cooperation with us. Also... the Earl's family has been blacklisted by the Arms Bureau."
The man lowered his head and reported in a trembling voice.
Murray's face changed instantly. "What did you say? Say it again? "
Blacklisted permanently?
Wasn't that no different from chopping off his arms?
The subordinate glanced at Murray carefully and repeated what he had just said. "Not only the Weapons Bureau, but also your private properties in the neighboring town. They were all bought over by the Huo family."
Murray's head buzzed when he heard this. He almost fainted. "How dare the Huo family? Do they think they can do whatever they want just because they are the most powerful family? "
The man lowered his head even more as he shivered. He was afraid that Huo Qi would vent his anger on him.
Murray clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were cold and sinister.
He would deal with the Huo family after he hooked up with the Second Prince.

At the hospital.
Huo Yao received a call after Shangguan Yun was discharged from the hospital.
She asked Zhuo Yun to take Shangguan Yun back to Min Yu's private villa while she went to a cafe near the hospital.
There were not many people in the cafe, so Huo Yao went upstairs.
She looked around and finally walked to the corner of the floor-to-ceiling window.
There sat a woman with her back to her, who raised her head as she approached.
Shang Guan Tong looked at the unfamiliar face of the girl in front of him and called out softly, "Yu 'er?"
Huo Yao nodded slightly and sat down opposite Shang Guantong. "Long time no see, Auntie Tong."
When Shangguan Tong heard her call him Aunt Tong, a layer of mist immediately formed in his eyes. "Seeing that you're well, I'm relieved."
Huo Yao glanced at Aunt Tong's pale face and frowned slightly. "Didn't you take the medicine I asked Uncle Wei to give you last year?"
Shang Guantong shook his head and smiled. "I know my body's condition very well. That's about it."
Huo Yao went quiet for a few seconds before she said, "You and my uncle are surprisingly similar in some ways."
