Chapter 77: The First Imperial EdictChapter 910: Xu Changqing

"The message would take time to be relayed and then executed by the subordinates, even at the fastest pace it would take more than half a month. Even if we were to calculate back from today, half a month ago would be exactly when Yelü Shenxuan set off to return home. Therefore, in terms of time, it simply wouldn't be enough."

This is merely a matter of time. Other factors, such as how Zhao Xuanji learned in advance and what arrangements he made at Yueya Pass, remain unknown. Therefore, considering the circumstances, the possibility of Zhao Xuanji's involvement in this matter is not high.

"In my humble opinion, the problem may lie more with King Ning."

Li Chen tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Your point has some merit."

"Do you know who sent this intelligence to you"

Xu Changqing was taken aback and felt a little stunned.

This all ended up on the East Palace's desk, who else could have sent this intel

Wouldn't it be the Dongchang

"The Jin Dynasty."

Li Chen let out a cold snort and said, "The Yueya Pass is as still as death, with no sign of movement whatsoever. Ning Wang's plan failed without any reply. In the end, this prince, the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, had to rely on channels from Jin Guo to find out what was happening in his own country."

When he said this, a murderous intent flashed in Li Chen's eyes.

This is the real reason why he got angry.

Wenwang, that's just a small matter. There will be plenty of opportunities to go head-to-head in the future.

Yelü Shenxuan ran away, and it was probably within Li Chen's expectations.

The prince, the most extraordinary in Liao's history for a hundred years, dying so easily in Qin... It's too unreasonable.

Since the Liao Kingdom felt safe sending him, there must be a way to safely escort him.

But no matter which side it was, there was no message to tell him. If it wasn't for the Jin country sending over the intelligence, Li Chen would still be in the dark.

Only then did Li Chen deeply feel how weak the Qin Empire's court's control over its borders was.

Xu Changqing's expression was also very strange.

Such a thing happening, no one can accept it.

But that was not something he could comment on.

Words can hurt, and this often stems from a lack of understanding of one's own position and status.

As for matters of state and imperial power, he was merely a subject and couldn't possibly speak his mind freely.

Moreover, this matter directly concerns King Ning, the most powerful military force in the current court, and Moonlit Gate, the most important border city.

Which one is not a matter of paramount importance that can cause upheaval in the country

Li Chen didn't expect Xu Changqing to say anything.

After calming himself slightly, he said: "What brings you to the Xizheng Hall"

Xu Changqing only then remembered the purpose of his trip.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Your Highness, does Lord Guan Zhiwei have any other appointments I haven't seen him for a while now."

Li Chen didn't even lift his eyelids, and said faintly, "He is Zhao Xuanji's man."

"Zhao......!"

Xu Changqing's reaction immediately highlighted a shock.

He never would have imagined that Guan Zhiwei was actually Zhao Xuanji's person.

And for so long, Guan Zhiwei has known quite a bit about the East Palace's affairs. How much of a secret has been leaked out

And before that, Xu Changqing hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Thinking about how close they were in private, Xu Changqing immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

As if seeing through Xu Changqing's inner turmoil, Li Chen said calmly: "This matter was only recently confirmed by this palace. It was dealt with directly and has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it."o subtly shifted his body to partially shield Li Chen, just in case.The Saintess watched everything, her gaze falling once again on Li Chen. Under the veil, her vermilion lips moved slightly, saying,...
