Sān Bǎo's words left Chen Tong stunned in place.

"Are you still thinking about your prestige in the Dongchang You'd be better off thinking about how to apologize to His Highness."

San Bao's words caused Chen Tong's face to change drastically. He stammered, "Will Your Highness hold this against me"

"The Three Treasures said calmly, 'It's hard to fathom one's heart. Our prince, though still only a crown prince, now conducts himself and thinks like a true emperor.' "

Chen Tong gritted his teeth and asked, "May I ask the factory master, should we go to the best place right now"

Sān Bǎo said: "Could Commander Chen still want His Highness to remember this"

Chen Tong's expression changed when he heard this. He bowed deeply and said sincerely, "Thank you for your guidance, Factory Manager. I am deeply grateful. Chen Tong will never forget your great kindness."

Watching Chen Tong's flustered back disappear, Sabao remained expressionless.

With Chen Tong's kind of tactics, without the prince's support, he wouldn't even dream of having his power snatched away in a hundred years.

It was all because of the Crown Prince's words that he had to slowly help Chen Tong up.

Because this is what the prince wants to see.

Perhaps the prince just needs a not-very-bright dog under his command.

And Chen Tong, was just the right fit.

When Chen Tong arrived at Xizheng Hall with a mix of trepidation and anticipation, Li Chen was busy attending to official duties.

In fact, for most of the day, Li Chen was buried in a sea of various documents.

"I, Chen Tong, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Prince. Long live Your Highness, long live, long live!"

Upon hearing Chen Tong's greeting, Li Chen replied without raising his head: "That's enough, no need for formalities. Just wait here for a while. This palace will speak to you after I finish this imperial edict."

Chen Tong respectfully replied and honestly retreated to the side, waiting.

So long that it amounted to a whole hour.

Chen Tong didn't know if Li Chen was intentionally hitting him or if he had really forgotten about him. He didn't dare to ask, so he could only endure the pain of his wound and stand beside him silently waiting.

It was Li Chen's personal secretary, the first secret of the East Palace, Wan Jiaojiao, who had been watching from the side. However, she was too busy worrying about her master and didn't have time to remind him.

You know, His Royal Highness has obsessive-compulsive disorder and has to finish all the day's official documents before he can sleep.

So in Wan Jiaojiao's eyes, coming alone was disturbing the prince and delaying his rest time. She hadn't even had time to hate...

Feeling a dull ache in his lower back and shoulders, Li Chen looked up and immediately saw Chen Tong standing tremblingly in the corner of the Xizheng Hall. His face was pale, and beads of sweat dotted his forehead. The first thing he said was a brutal blow, "What are you doing here!"

Before Chen Tong could blurt out anything embarrassing, Li Chen patted his forehead and laughed heartily, "I remember now, I told you to wait... why is your face so pale"

Chen Tong knelt on the ground with a thud, his voice husky as he said: "My subordinate has been lax in their duty. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Li Chen leaned against the golden chair, ignoring him.

Zhuan Shou took the teacup from Wan Jiaojiao's hand, sipped it gently, and then slowly said, "Injured"

Chen Tong immediately replied, "The general should return to eliminate the traitors. I was careless for a moment and was ambushed, so I sustained some injuries."

His finger traced the rim of the cup as Li Chen said in a calm tone, "Sanbao sent you here, didn't he"

Chen Tong's face stiffened, and he lowered his head to reply, "It was also my own idea."

This sentence, said nothing but everything.

Putting down his teacup, Li Chen said: "Since you've done wrong, there should be a punishment. Since you've come forward to take the blame, this palace won't punish you. However, both morally and legally, it wouldn't be right to let this go. It wouldn't sit well with anyone."ce woke the dreamer.Su Jinpa was not stupid, but the limitations of her time prevented her from seeing what lay ahead.
