Li Chen stood up and said, "It's better to strike today than to choose a day. The palace is free today, so I won't bother Miss to come back and forth. I happen to be going to see the talented young men in the capital city."
Su Zhenning did not object and arranged for a servant to take Li Chen away, and the three treasures naturally followed behind.
As soon as Li Chen left, the hall erupted in an uproar.
Su Pingbei indignantly cried out, "Father, why!"
“Even though he is the Crown Prince, Zhao Xuanji has immense power in court. Almost no one stands by the Crown Prince's side. Now, it all depends on the Emperor's support. If the Emperor were to die, who would inherit the throne remains uncertain. Father, you have always taught me that the Su family's military achievements are too prominent, so we should be low-key and avoid trouble. But now you have married my younger sister to the Crown Prince. Isn't this a blatant move to the forefront, standing beside the Crown Prince and confronting all the officials”
Su Pingbei's words represented the heart of every member of the Su family. As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent, waiting quietly for Su Zhetong's reply.
Su Zhen Ting seemed to have his words prepared beforehand. He said, "This matter involves a promise my father made to the Emperor many years ago. Now it's time to fulfill that commitment, you need not interfere."
"Who says the Crown Prince is isolated and unsupported in court My Su family, we are the power behind the Crown Prince."
Su Pingbei widened his eyes and said unconvinced, "My son still doesn't understand. After years of keeping a low profile and protecting oneself, why is it suddenly unnecessary today Why"
"If the Su family needs to rely on the prince to ensure the continuation of their family line, why didn't the emperor allow a close marriage when he was in good health Why would they only bind the Su family to the prince now that the empire is in turmoil and the court is unstable"
Su Zhen'ting spoke in a low voice, "The Su family has always been the power left by the emperor for the future heir to the empire. Haven't you noticed that even though your father was stripped of his position and only holds a nominal title of general, the Su family's direct lineage in the army has never been affected Zhao Xuanji began laying out plans and arranging government affairs over ten years ago. Did the emperor truly know nothing, have no backup plan"
Earlier, even though the prince was the crown prince, he wasn't necessarily the heir to the empire. Only now, when he took out this jade pendant, did he become the heir to the empire.
Su Zhenting looked at the group of people whose faces were full of astonishment, and said: "Having said this, you should all understand my meaning."
When the Su family inside the main hall was arguing fiercely, Li Chen had already left the General's Mansion.
The general's household servants led the way, while Sabao personally drove the carriage. Li Chen sat inside, stroking his jade pendant and lost in thought.
However, the carriage soon came to a stop.
"Your Highness, the poetry gathering is just ahead. Please go on. My lowly status prevents me from joining."
Li Chen waved his hand, signaling the Three Treasures to bestow the reward money.
The servant received the reward and felt that the Crown Prince was very generous. He thanked him profusely before leaving.
Getting off the carriage, Li Chen looked up and saw that he was already outside the western suburbs of the capital city.
This place is near the Hanlin Academy, with a flourishing literary atmosphere. Coupled with its beautiful scenery, there's a large river flowing around the city, connecting to the North Sea in the north. Being surrounded by mountains and water has always been a favorite destination for poets and scholars.
Not far ahead, there stood a towering attic. The attic was obviously newly built, and people came and went around it. Most of them were dressed as scholars, greeting each other and chatting, their mouths full of "profound" words. Li Chen heard this and felt a headache coming on.
"Wait here."
Li Chen left a sentence for the three treasures, and didn't let the three treasures, who were known by many people in the capital, follow him. He walked straight into the attic.
"Sir, please wait."Chapter 1034: Qianyuan Palace
