d their entire clan would be exterminated.But under the eerie silence of this Xizheng Hall, it felt strangely appropriate.Zhou Ping'an seemed not to care how outrageous his words were. He continued, "...Chapter 1526: Very Good

Inside the residence of the Lord Moonlit Gate, Li Chen no longer harbored the previous anxiety.

He glared at Chen Tong, who was trembling and kneeling beside him, his anger still evident.

Chen Tong's abilities are no longer keeping up with Li Chen's needs.

At this moment, Li Chen missed his three treasures dearly.

If he were still here, I'm sure he could handle all of this smoothly.

...at least it doesn't result in several unexpected and uncontrollable things happening every few days.

At present, Chen Tong's only advantages are his diligence and loyalty.

But when it came to being clever and quick-witted, he was even inferior to Xiaozi.

"Chen Tong."

Li Chen said lightly, "Go out on a business trip, don't stay here."

Li Chen's words turned Chen Tong's face ashen.

He knew his performance had deeply disappointed the prince.

But at this critical juncture, no one dared to say another word.

Chen Tong kowtowed respectfully to Li Chen, then retreated.

Li Chen let out a light sigh and said to Wan Jiaojiao, "Go make a cup of tea, strong."

Wan Jiaojiao responded with a sound and hurried to make tea.

Li Chen leaned back in his chair, staring wide-eyed at the ceiling, lost in thought.

After a moment, the scent of tea arrived.

Wàn Jiāojiāo came to Lǐ Chén's side, holding a teacup, and said: "Your Highness, have some tea."

Li Chen took the teacup, lowered his head and gently blew away the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea. He said in a bland tone: "You seem particularly willing to help Chen Tong."

Wan Jiaojiao bit her lip and whispered, "Before he died, his father passed on the mantle to him. So Jiaojiao doesn't want to see him anger Your Highness."

Li Chen nodded and said, "This reason is reasonable."

Taking a sip of tea, the rich bitter taste surged onto my lips and tongue. After swallowing, an immediate sweetness rose from my throat, leaving a lingering fragrance on my palate. Indeed, this is a fine tea.

But when you're working by my side, I don't want you to have any dealings with other people. Do you understand

Li Chen looked at Wan Jiaojiao and said solemnly, “In the eyes of everyone, you are the heart of this palace, and you truly are. Every day, whatever this palace does or says, you know everything. You are very clear how important this position is. Countless people will try every means possible to obtain from you all the information they want about this palace. Many accidents happen precisely when you don't even realize it.”

“The greatest regret is unintentional mistakes made in peacetime.”

Every one of Li Chen's words fell clearly into Wan Jiaojiao's ears. Wan Jiaojiao pursed her lips and nodded heavily, saying: "Your Highness, this servant knows."

"That's great."

Li Chen said softly, "Don't take it to heart. This palace has never been angry with you."

Wan Jiaojiao looked up and smiled brightly at Li Chen, saying, "I know you care about me, Your Highness."

With a light chuckle, Li Chen was about to speak when an announcement came from outside.

Su Pingbei has arrived.

Upon entering the room, Su Ping bowed respectfully to Li Chen. Then he looked up and said, “Your Highness, the troops are all ready. This subordinate intends to depart at the stroke of midnight tonight. Your Highness, please grant us a farewell.”

Li Chen nodded and stood up, saying: "This is what this palace promised you, of course, I won't go back on my word. Come, this palace will follow you."

Su Ping's eyes flashed with excitement. He stood up, raised his hand and beckoned outside, saying: "Those soldiers are all very excited to know that His Highness is personally seeing them off!""Who are you and what is your business The city gate is closed. If you have business, come back in the morning."Then, the Jinyiwei reined in their horses and drew out a gleaming gold waist token from...
