Chapter 28: I Will Devote Everything to the Crown Prince"No need for gifts."Li Chen said faintly, "Since you took the initiative to meet me, then the things are already prepared"Chapter 286 Warning Chen Tong

"Just rub my shoulders."

Li Chen said lazily.

Wan Jiaojiao saw Li Chen close his eyes, so she carefully walked behind him and raised her tender fingers to knead on Li Chen's shoulders.

It's obvious that Sānbǎo spoils this adopted daughter quite a bit because her techniques are really not that good.

Better than nothing.

"Remember to tell Sān Bǎo that you gave this palace a shoulder massage."

Li Chen's unannounced words left Wan Jiaojiao somewhat puzzled.

She doesn't understand what there is to say about such a small matter.

Seeing that Wan Jiaojiao didn't understand, Li Chen explained further: "That way, he wouldn't dare to ask you to press him again. Actually, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Once you are by my side, even someone as clever as Sanbao won't dare to order you around anymore."

Wàn Jiāojiāo suddenly understood.

She whispered softly, "This servant understands."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall announcing something.

Chen Tong is here.

With Li Chen's approval, Chen Tong strode into Xi Zheng Hall. He looked up and saw Wan Jiaojiao massaging Li Chen's shoulders behind him. He was stunned for a moment before calmly bowing and saying, "Chen Tong, your humble servant, greets Your Highness, the Prince."

"When others get promoted, they come to express their gratitude first. You, the Commander of the Jinyiwei, are different. You were given such a generous position, and only now do you grace us with your presence." Li Chen said.

Chen Tong meekly replied, "Your servant knows Your Highness hopes that your servant will do a good job. The best way to repay Your Highness is to complete the task well."

"Not bad."

Li Chen pointed at Chen Tong and smiled at Wan Jiaojiao: "See, learn from him. That's what a smart person is like."

Wan Jiaojiao didn't know how to respond, so she could only give an embarrassed smile.

"Go tell the Crown Princess Consort that this Palace will not be having dinner tonight, and she should eat on her own."

"Yes."

After sending Wan Jiaojiao away, Li Chen held his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly to Chen Tong: "You know Wan Jiaojiao, right"

"I see, the adopted daughter of Sanbao," Chen Tong replied cautiously.

"Now she is a court lady-in-waiting in my palace, responsible for attending to the affairs of the Xi Zheng Hall."

Li Chen gave Chen Tong a meaningful look and said, "You have been the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei for many years, and now you are promoted to commander, but you are not the factory director of the Dongchang. Within the Jinyiwei, many people are still confused about whether they should listen to you or San Bao."

Chen Tong suddenly realized and excitedly said, "I understand now."

Seeing Chen Tong understood his meaning, Li Chen nodded and said: "Since the Jinyiwei gave it to you, you must use it. Now that Wan Jiaojiao is here, Sanbao understands what to do, he won't stop you. You can rest assured and clean up those in the Jinyiwei who don't listen to you. Now, this ladder has been delivered to your hands by the palace itself. If you still can't climb up, then you should find a place to commit suicide and apologize."

Chen Tong said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, rest assured, I am fully confident."

"The most important thing for the Dongchang is intelligence, and then the Jinyiwei. Since you have already obtained the Jinyiwei, don't even think about the intelligence aspect. After all, you are not a eunuch, let alone a Sanbao eunuch. Factory Manager, you can't do it."

Li Chen's tone gradually grew stern.

Chen Tong's heart tightened, and the tiny, inappropriate thought that had just emerged in his mind was instantly extinguished.

"My loyalty lies only with what Your Highness has bestowed upon me. Anything not given to me, or taken from me, will never be the object of my desire." and lay low. Your Highness, since you value history as a lesson, how can you not know the story of King Goujian of Yue, who endured hardships with forbearance Retreating for now is a tactic to gain t...
