Now the prince's power is starting to take shape, he is no longer a powerless prince with no resistance against the cabinet.

An imperial decree to supervise the country and a succession of high-ranking officials who fell from grace in the court fueled the growing power of the Crown Prince.

Many here tonight are hoping to curry favor with the prince and secure a place among his loyal followers.

So indeed many people are trying hard to guess the prince's thoughts in order to please him.

If you guess correctly, it means you will be admired by the prince. But if you guess incorrectly, there will probably be some trouble.

However, among those present were many officials of the rank of Chief Assistant. Their thoughts were more complex, focused on how the cabinet led by the Grand Secretary could maximize their own benefit from this event while simultaneously undermining the prince's prestige.

While the Xían cháo embassy had no appetite for food and drink.

They were also speculating about the prince's thoughts, and even praying that the Qin court would agree to send troops.

And this, first of all, needs the approval of the highest authority in the Qin Empire, the emperor. The emperor is unconscious, so it can only be the crown prince who acts as regent.

The banquet will end in an hour.

Li Chen was the first to get up and leave.

Then, officials of the Qin Dynasty and the envoys from the Xiongnu all left one after another.

Jin Xueyan, surrounded by members of the diplomatic mission, followed the guards and palace maids onto the carriage that had been prepared at the entrance to receive them.

Jin Xueyuan had just bent down to enter the carriage when she was suddenly enveloped in a pair of strong arms.

Taken aback, Jin Xueyuan almost cried out "Assassin!".

"Don't call!"

A familiar voice sounded in Jin Xueyuan's ear, and Jin Xueyuan instantly stiffened, as motionless as a statue.

Lying comfortably in the soft carriage bed, Li Chen stretched out his hand and made Jin Xueyuan lie on his chest.

He, still with a slight scent of alcohol, smiled and said: “Well, before the banquet, you called me a scoundrel all the time, but during the banquet, you were so calm and composed, polite and graceful. Now after the banquet, you can't even speak”

Jin Xueyuan struggled, but couldn't break free. She exclaimed urgently, "Your Highness, let go of me... It's inappropriate!"

"What gift"

Li Chen said calmly, "My words are a gift."

Jin Xueyuan only then raised her head, her eyes bloodshot as she looked at Li Chen and said, "Is it very interesting to toy with me like this You are the high and mighty crown prince of the Great Qin Empire, the heir apparent, the future emperor of Great Qin. I am just a princess from a small country on the verge of extinction. By humiliating me like this, do you feel pleasure"

Li Chen was taken aback and said, "This palace has never had such an idea."

Jin Xueyuan choked back tears and said, "But that's exactly what you did!"

"Alright, alright. You just want troops This palace agrees," said Li Chen.

Such a statement left Jin Xueyuan utterly astonished.

It wouldn't be surprising if a foolish and wicked prince said this.

As for Li Chen, she had interacted with him, it was impossible for him to lose his head over women.

Li Chen chuckled lightly: "You went to so much trouble, wasn't it just to get this answer Now that I've given it to you, are you unhappy"

“I... can’t figure it out.” Jin Xueyuan said.

"Just pretend that this palace is infatuated with your beauty and bewitched by you."

Li Chen skillfully rolled over, pinning Jin Xueyuan beneath him. He leaned in close to her lips and whispered, "Do you know how beautiful you are in this finery In ancient times, there was the story of burning incense to amuse the feudal lords, and another of a crown prince's fury for a woman. Today, the imperial court sends troops to your doorstep, is it not fitting"
