The dragon, Huaiyu, beside him was breathing heavily.
He was somewhat shocked.
There are three conditions in total. The first one is self-explanatory. The last two are the ultimate goals of the Dragon Clan.
Just one will do.
But they also knew that these two conditions were not easily achieved.
Therefore, the father and son had long since agreed that these two conditions should be gradually implemented, not achieved all at once. Otherwise, it would easily arouse the court's suspicion and vigilance.
It's just too obvious.
Just like what Li Yinhu said, "splitting the land and dividing the territory", it's utterly obvious.
Why did your own father just speak up
While Li Yinhu looked at Long Tiande, who was bowing respectfully and hadn't gotten up for a long time, he didn't speak for a moment.
The atmosphere was heavy and awkward.
After a long silence, Li Yinhu calmly said, "Lord Long, please have a seat. I was just speaking casually."
Long Tiande let out a sigh of relief. After sitting down, he said in a soft voice, "Your Highness Zhao, please forgive me. As long as Your Highness agrees, then the Xishan Province... will be your Xishan Province!"
Li Yinhu's heart skipped a beat.
He stared intently at Long Tiande.
"All three conditions you mentioned are difficult to fulfill, facing enormous resistance, and would inevitably provoke a strong backlash from the East Palace."
"This king promised you that I would do it, but you also have to show this king your sincerity."
Long Tiande immediately said, "Your Highness Zhao, please speak. As long as my father and I can do it, there will be no problem."
Li Yinhǔ said lightly, “There's no need to be so serious. This matter is simple and effortless.”
"With that, Li Yinhu pointed at Long Huaiyu and said, 'He, stays by my side.'"
......
East Palace, Hall of Studying Government.
Li Chen held his teacup, gently sipping the hot tea. He frowned and said, “That steamed bun just now was a bit too oily.”
Wan Jiaojiao saw that the teacup was a little empty and proactively filled it for Li Chen, then said: "Your Highness is used to eating light food, so naturally you're not used to this greasy food. Drink some clear tea to suppress it. The servant will tell them to make a few refreshing and palate-cleansing dishes for lunch."
"Well, getting more thoughtful."
Li Chen gave her a compliment, which immediately made Wan Jiaojiao beam with delight.
At this time, the Three Treasures came to see.
After Wan Jiaojiao received the Three Treasures to practice in Xizheng Hall, she wanted to withdraw to avoid suspicion.
"Keep it."
Li Chen said faintly, "You'll encounter more and more of these things in the future. It's good to get used to them sooner."
Wan Jiaojiao still didn't know what was going on, but San Bao was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, constantly winking at Wan Jiaojiao.
Wan Jiaojiao only then came to her senses, thanked him, and silently stood aside.
"I, San Bao, greet Your Highness the Prince with utmost respect."
Seeing his adopted daughter truly walk up to the prince and start getting involved with these hidden, “dark” aspects, representing becoming a core confidante of the East Palace, San Bao's bowing movements became much more standard.
"Cut the formalities. How is it going with what I asked you to do" Li Chen waved his hand and said.
San Bao hurriedly replied, “Chen Tong, the commander, used the pretext of escorting the prince's consort to reach Xishan Province. After arriving, he contacted the local families in Xishan Province according to the secret decree from Your Highness. Under the guidance of Master Zhao He Shan, he successfully made contact with the Lei, Zheng, and Qian families. Now, special envoys from these three families have secretly arrived in the capital city and are waiting outside XiZheng Hall for Your Highness to meet them.”
Li Chen nodded, feeling very happy, and said, "Call them in."
Moments later, three ordinary-looking middle-aged men entered the Xizheng Hall with their heads bowed.
They dared not look around, let alone at Li Chen who sat behind the table. All the way to Xizheng Hall, they immediately knelt down and said: "We are commoners Lei Fuzhi, Zheng Baocheng, and Qian Mancang. We pay our respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness lives a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand and a thousand years!" justified in his actions, so he talked more and more excitedly.He continued, "Marrying the Crown Prince as his princess consort means that you will become the Empress in the future, the mother of a n...
