Imperial Palace
In the silence of the dark night, the front hall of Delan Palace was bustling with laughter and cheers of victory.
Around the round table sat three men chatting and drinking the wine.
"Youngest boy Chen from the Li family, this Prince marvels your courage and intelligence. The thing that Benwang was most worried about, you solved it in one night."
It was the Crown Prince, Zhao Zhuang Chen, Empress Qin Wenya's son who spoke these words.
Hearing his words, Li Chen laughed happily. His face was bright red because of drinking wine. He took out the book stuffed in his robe and said
"Your Highness exaggerates. This one just happened to know this little secret of Second Uncle. If this one has not been there, then anyone else had done this job. Who can refuse Your Highness?"
His words were humble and filled with respect, but his face was full of satisfaction on hearing whatever the Crown Prince said about him.
