The injury of the crown prince is a major event in any dynasty and any country.

Such an ordinary matter, if the culprit could be found, it would be fine. At light punishment, he would be directly questioned and beheaded for alarming the king or interfering with his chariot. At a severe punishment, he would be charged with treason and his entire clan would be exterminated. If the culprit could not be found, then the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate would form a joint investigation team to investigate. The level of this investigation team is directly responsible to the emperor, and no one or any department is allowed to interfere or oppose it, otherwise, they will be dealt with collectively.

Even as a princess of a small, insignificant country like Jinluyao knew this was a momentous occasion. To say nothing of the fact that it happened to the Crown Prince of mighty Qin, who was acting regent.

Jīn Lùyáo is not a stupid person, she immediately thought of the report from her subordinates today. Several hours ago, the city gates in the capital were closed for no reason, and several major streets were under martial law, prohibiting anyone from going out. Even at the inn's entrance, there were two teams of soldiers guarding, claiming to be protecting their safety, but in reality, it was to prevent them from leaving the street.

Even though they were confined to the inn, the envoys of Xian could still hear the rumbling footsteps and sounds of soldiers marching in the streets. Occasionally, there would be very brief shouts of battle.

After connecting these unusual details, Jin Luyao's pretty face showed a look of horror, and she exclaimed, "Your Highness, someone in the Qin Dynasty wants to rebel And they have already reached the point of mobilizing troops and causing chaos in the capital!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Luyao noticed the half-smiling and enigmatic expression on Li Chen's face. Only then did she realize her gaffe. Not to mention that everything was still shrouded in mystery and unclear, even if it had truly happened, wouldn't she, a princess from a foreign land, be overstepping by meddling in such matters

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Lu Yao has spoken out of turn."

Jin Luyao's trembling and fearful apology didn't really faze Li Chen.

He turned toward the steps and said, “It matters not. It’s not a rebellion. Just some foolish fools with impractical dreams.”

"You long to return home, and this palace understands. However, even if you're eager, it can't be sooner than these two days. In two more days, this palace will arrange your departure."

Li Chen said in an unquestionable tone: "It is to fulfill my promise for you, and also to swear allegiance to the soldiers of our dynasty before going into battle."

Jin Luyao pursed her lips. At this moment, the situation in the domestic country was precarious, and one day's delay could lead to the collapse of the nation. She was anxious and worried.

But Li Chen had already said so, she couldn't, and didn't dare to insist.

Moreover, with the Qin army not marching out, there was little point in her returning alone.

Ying Ying made a graceful bow, and Jin Lu Yao lowered her head to say: "I will obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Leaning back in his chair, Li Chen beckoned to Jin Lu Yao and said, "Come here."

Jin Luyao instantly fell into a dilemma.

She looked at Li Chen, then down at her own toes.

Seeing Jin Luyao battling between heaven and man, Li Chen said nonchalantly, "If you hesitate for a while, this palace will reduce the number of soldiers going on expedition by a thousand. It doesn't matter, this palace has plenty of time and can waste it."

Li Chen's words made Jin Luyao hate him so much that her silver teeth clenched. She wished she could pounce on Li Chen and bite his neck.

I've never seen such a man who is so unfeeling and doesn't know how to cherish a beauty.

Even if you gave Jin Luyao a dozen more guts, she wouldn't dare to joke about this kind of thing, let alone defy Li Chen.

She sidled up to Li Chen, taking tiny shuffling steps.

Before Jin Lu Yao could speak, Li Chen's strong hand had already encircled her waist.

Jin Luyao only felt dizzy, and before she could even gasp, she was pressed down on Li Chen's thigh.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!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, envo...
