"You eunuch are ruthless."

Li Chen said with a half-smile, "This palace won't kill him, but will truly give him a menial task."

"Some people, living is just about their existence having meaning."

Sanzhao was about to speak when another report came from outside.

"Your Highness, a man named Zhou Ping'an, bearing your waist token, requests an audience."

Li Chen was startled. "Bring him in immediately," he said.

The Three Treasures discreetly withdrew to the side, pondering over what the Crown Prince had just said. Their expression remained calm and unruffled.

When Zhou Ping'an entered Xi Zheng Dian, the Three Treasures were immediately stunned upon seeing him.

As the head of the Dongchang, San Bao naturally knew Zhou Ping'an's identity. He couldn't figure out for the life of him how Zhou Ping'an, a high official serving as Tai Pu (Minister of Works) in the Xian朝 dynasty, could be found in the Xipeng Hall.

“Greetings, Your Highness. I am Zhou Ping’an, a humble citizen.”

This time meeting, Zhou Ping'an changed both his self-identification and the identification for Li Chen.

Li Chen said faintly, "You're welcome."

Looking at Zhou Ping'an, Li Chen said, "Are you ready"

Zhou Ping'an calmly said, "Your Highness has completed all the preparatory work. I can set off at any time."

Nodding, Li Chen said, "What else is needed"

Zhou Ping'an smiled faintly and said, "I want to seek a decree from Your Highness."

Before Li Chen could ask, Zhou Ping'an continued, "The imperial edict that informed the new magistrate of Xishan Province of my identity."

Li Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Just like that"

Zhou Ping'an said calmly, "I seek nothing."

"Okay."

Li Chen nodded and said, "You should look for Zhao Heshan later. He will be going to take up his new post in the next few days and won't leave immediately. When he sees the waist token I gave you before, he will know what to do."

Bowing, Zhou Ping'an said: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Besides, the commoner has already resigned from his post in the Xian Dynasty and bid farewell to Princess Jin. However, this matter may require further explanation from Your Highness later on.

"Got it."

Li Chen said calmly, "If you can really resolve the rebellion in Xishan Province without bloodshed, when you return, this palace will let you stay by my side and give you an opportunity to pursue your ambitions."

Zhou Ping'an bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity."

"Go and attend to your business. This palace awaits your good news."

After Zhou Ping'an left, Li Chen told the three treasures, "Go prepare a set of plain clothes for this palace."

The Three Treasures didn't even fart, and immediately got to work preparing for Li Chen.

After changing into civilian clothes, Li Chen took the three treasures and, with a group of hidden Jin Yi Wei behind him, walked directly out of the East Palace.

After leaving the East Palace, Li Chen went straight to the General's Mansion.

On the road, Li Chen called Sanbao to his side.

"Give up the position of Commander of the Jinyiwei."

A soft word, as light as a feather on the wind, yet it turned Sanbao's face pale.

But he dared not play the victim, nor beg for mercy. He could only lower his head and respectfully say, "This servant obeys."

"From now on, you will be solely responsible for the intelligence and investigations of the Dongchang."

Chen Tong took over as the commander and was in charge of arresting people and managing the prison.

But Dongchang, I still consider you as my Factory Master.

Three Treasures lowered her head and said, "This servant obeys."ngji Tian left, Li Chen summoned high-ranking military commanders such as Su Zhen and Hu Shifan to the Xizheng Hall for a meeting that lasted until late at night.Late at night, although Su Zhen Ting a...
