As Li Chen was looking, a flash of whiteness appeared on Cai He's chest. He was startled.

Are women from the northwest this warm and hospitable

But just thinking about Cai He being ravaged by King Ning for several years, Li Chen felt a wave of disgust.

Just as I was about to speak up and stop her, Cai He took out a carefully folded letter from inside her close-fitting garment.

Cai He, her face flushed red, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Li Chen. She just handed him the letter.

Li Chen only then knew that he had misunderstood.

Li Chen took the letter from Cai He's hands after giving the snow-white envelope a second glance.

To the touch, it was remarkably smooth and warm, as if retaining a faint trace of a woman's perfume.

Without much thought, Li Chen opened the envelope.

There was only a thin sheet of paper inside, with very simple content.

There is only one time and one address.

Time will be in half an hour.

Address, Li Chen was new in town, naturally didn't know where this was, but it didn't matter.

The most important thing is this handwriting, Li Chen recognizes it, it's from Zhou Ping'an's own hand.

After just a quick glance at the contents of the letter, Li Chen calmly put it away and asked Cai He, "Have you read it"

Cai He shook her head nervously and said, "No, I kept it close to me after I got it. I know how important it is, and if the Prince found out, both I and they would be killed."

"They..."

Li Chen said thoughtfully, "It seems you know who sent you the letter"

"I know, they've been staying at my place these past few days."

Cai He's voice grew fainter and fainter, until Li Chen could barely hear her last words. She said: "Chang Shou, he's a very good person."

Long-lived master.

Zhou Ping'an's second brother, the King of Ning's most trusted confidant, is now probably also the King of Ning's most hated traitor

With a slight squint, Li Chen smiled and said, "By chance, I not only saved you, but also those two"

"So the previous events, were you instructed to say and do that by them"

Cai He shook her head and said, "No, they just gave me a way to enter the palace legitimately. But after entering the palace, how to get close to His Highness, they just told me to adapt."

“That Lord Ping'an said that the prince had a fierce temper and was extremely suspicious by nature. To such a person, any plan would be useless. The only thing this servant could rely on was her own ability to adapt to changing circumstances, so this servant came up with this method.”

Li Chen said lightly, "But you don't need to use that kind of reason to anger King Ning. Have you ever thought that if this palace doesn't save you, you will be dead"

Cai He remained silent.

Li Chen let out a light chuckle and said, "Let me tell you, you're also testing me. If I were to ignore your tragic situation, then you would risk your life and take the whereabouts of those two with you to death. They are most likely to be found by King Ning, who would then bury them with you, wouldn't he"

Cai He bit her lip and said, "I... I just wanted to say the grievances I've been holding in for so long. I didn't think about anything else..."

He raised his hand to stop Cai He's words and said, "Whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally doesn't matter. In any case, the result is the same for me. At least you brought this letter here, which is considered a meritorious service. So, I saved your life, and there's no need to think of other ways to repay the favor. Let's just call it even."

"Get well soon."

After Li Chen finished speaking, he turned and walked away.

He was behind him, Cai He struggled to get up and knelt beside the bed to send off Li Chen.hings. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I have no further attachments.""Your Highness speaks truly. My thoughts may not be shared by all within the Buddhist sect, but I understand this: to oppose...
