"Your father is a man of action."

Li Chen didn't offer much in the way of praise, but for Zhao Rui, coming from his position of authority, it was a perfect reassurance.

She beamed and said, “If Father heard this, he would be over the moon.”

"All I want is for him to be happy, nothing more than promotion and a higher rank. It's simple enough. But for him to make me happy That's not so easy."

Li Chen said to Zhao Rui: "Your father is capable, and this palace will reuse him. But whether he can be used depends on himself."

Zhao Rui hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, my father will do his best and never disappoint you."

Li Chen smiled but said nothing more.

He was very clear that Zhao Rui's affections for him were most likely due to her father.

To her, her family is the most important thing.

But Li Chen doesn't really care.

When one reaches his level of status, love and romance are nothing more than external matters.

As long as power is in hand, whether it's Zhao Rui or other women, the problem only lies in whether Li Chen wants to, not whether he can.

Isn't getting sick just like getting everything

Perhaps it was because of the too many twists and turns he had experienced today, or perhaps the excitement had gotten to him, or maybe it was the blood loss that left Li Chen somewhat powerless. Either way, this night, Li Chen just held Zhao Rui and slept soundly.

I haven't done anything else wrong.

The woman's soft and fragrant body was Li Chen's best comfort. After a good night's sleep, he woke up feeling refreshed.

Upon arriving at the Xizheng Hall, the Three Treasures were already waiting.

"Your Highness, everything is done."

Sanzhao's words made Lichen nod.

This is not surprising.

If he can't even handle something like this, San Bao won't have the face to continue doing this job.

Last night, this palace slept well.

Li Chen raised his teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I presume that most of the people on the list have been caught"

The Three Treasures respectfully stated: "There were a total of 143 people. Half died, and half were captured. The rest of the personnel they controlled are also being hunted down. However, these individuals are all high-ranking leaders with many subordinates. They will inevitably encounter resistance, so they have to suppress it with force. Therefore, the capital city might be somewhat unstable recently."

"It's fine."

Li Chen said calmly, "If anyone questions the actions of the Dongchang, let them come to me."

Sānbǎo smiled gently, and respectfully said, "With Your Highness's support, this servant will naturally find it much easier to get things done."

"After this is done, just hand over command of the Jinyiwei to Chen Tong."

Li Chen leaned back in his chair and said, "You just focus on finishing the task I assigned you."

Three Treasures remained composed and replied, "Actually, most matters of apprehending individuals are personally handled by Deputy Commander Chen. Once this matter is resolved, I shall be able to hand over my authority to him."

"Don't you feel wronged" Li Chen asked.

The Three Treasures looked solemn and said, "I only know that what Your Highness says is heaven's will. There is no grievance or no grievance. It is all that I should do."

"This palace will not treat those who do good things well."

Li Chen said something.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a report came from outside.

"Princess Jin Luyao, envoy of the Xian Dynasty, requests an audience."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "Sure."

After a moment, Jin Luyao gracefully arrived and stood in the center of Xi Zhengdian, respectfully bowing.
