Li Chen made Duan Jinjiang wait outside the East Palace for an entire afternoon.

No one came to relay a message, so naturally, there was no news of whether the Crown Prince wished to see him or not. Duan Jinjiang did not leave, he simply stood there, allowing the snowflakes to fall upon him.

The snow wasn't actually heavy today, but after standing for a whole morning, Duan Jinjiang looked just like a snowman. His eyebrows and hair were completely covered in frost.

Luckily, Duan Jinjiang had military experience when he was younger and his body was still strong. Otherwise, any other person would have probably collapsed long ago.

Even so, by noon when Chen Tong came out, Duan Jinjiang was already teetering on the verge of collapse.

"Deputy Commander Chen, has His Highness agreed to see me"

Before Chen Tong, Duan Jinjiang lowered his posture and asked with cupped hands.

Chen Tong's expression was placid, neither fawning nor deliberately condescending. He calmly said, "Your Highness asked you to come in."

"Good."

Du Jianjiang's voice gave nothing away.

Even with the biggest temper, standing in the snow all morning should have worn it down.

He took a step, but his body swayed and he fell straight to the ground.

Chen Tong stood there, watching coldly without saying a word.

Duan Jinjiang chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Perhaps I've been standing for too long. My blood circulation is a bit unusual, causing Deputy Commander Chen to laugh at me."

"Your Lordship doesn't have much time, please go in quickly, Master Duan. It wouldn't be proper to keep Your Lordship waiting." Chen said.

Duan Jinjiang gritted his teeth and stood up, following Chen Tong into the East Palace.

This scene was seen by many spies from various factions, who quickly returned to report to their respective masters.

Zhao Xuanji also received the news at the first time.

He was currently in the backyard, playing chess with Wang Tenghuan, who was missing an ear.

"Did you go in"

After receiving the message, Zhao Xuanji smiled faintly and looked up at Wang Tenghuan, saying, "Wang brother, what do you think will be the result when he goes in"

Wang Tenghuan, ever since he had lost an ear, his whole personality had become much gloomier. At this moment, he said expressionlessly: "What other result could there be The prince is ruthless. Since he has already made up his mind to attack him, then most likely there won't be any good outcome.", facing pressure from both within and without, how would we overcome such difficulties What are your thoughts on this"Three consecutive sentences made him think so, pushing Li Chen to the edge of the...
