Hearing these words, even Guan Zhiwei's wife, despite being a typical woman of the household, could tell that her husband had gotten into serious trouble.

She let out a cry of "Ah!" and immediately knelt beside Guan Zhiwei, both of them kowtowing to Li Chen and begging for forgiveness.

And the strangeness of Li Chen's parents made even Guan Shan Yue, the pig's trotters beside him, stop gnawing, and he burst into tears.

Suddenly, the sounds of kowtowing, begging for mercy, and children crying filled the air, creating a cacophony.

With a cold snort that carried the force of inner power, Sanzang silenced all the noise instantly.

"Too noisy!"

Sānbǎo coldly said, "To cry and whine before His Highness is unbecoming!"

Immediately afterward, the three treasures angrily asked Guan Zhiwei, “How much information did you give Zhao Xuanji”

Guan Zhiwei said nervously, "Actually, not much. Zhao Xuanji rarely asks me for intelligence, especially after I entered the East Palace. He became more cautious. I understand his meaning; he hopes that I will get close to the Prince and become his confidant, then maximize my value."

Sān Bǎo's complexion looked slightly better.

Then he looked at Li Chen.

He has said and asked everything that needed to be said and asked. Now it is Li Chen, the decision-maker, who will make the decision.

Li Chen then looked at Guan Zhiwei squarely.

Under Li Chen's emotionless gaze, Guan Zhiwei lowered his head, his face full of remorse.

After a long silence, Li Chen's voice broke the stillness.

> “You shall die for your crimes.”

Guan Zhiwei was struck dumb.

The woman beside him fainted from fright.

Looking at the child beside him, his eyes filled with tears but he didn't even dare to cry, Li Chen said: "However, as I said, considering your merits and hardships, you can choose to die yourself, and the bloodline of your Guan family can be preserved."

You asked this palace to choose a character for your son. This palace has already thought of it, and the name will be Shenxing.

"Be cautious in your words and deeds, lest you regret it for the rest of your life."

Guan Shan Yue, courtesy name Shen Xing.

Li Chen gave Xiao Shenxing a pat on the head, unaware that his fate had already been irrevocably changed. He didn't even glance at Guan Zhiwei as he rose to his feet and addressed San Bao: "You execute this. From now on, Xiao Shenxing will be under your care. Raise him as your godson."

Sanbao didn't know what Li Chen meant by doing this, but he just needed to execute it.

"I obey your orders."

Nodding, Li Chen turned his head and walked away.

From beginning to end, I didn't glance at Guan Zhiwei once.

Behind him, came Guan Zhiwei's heart-wrenching sobs.

Intertwined with regret, gratitude, pain, and fear, it was a complex mix of emotions that defied description.

Although the mole was caught and the process went fairly smoothly, Li Chen wasn't in a good mood.

He didn't go back in a palanquin or carriage, but walked back with his hands behind his back along the street toward the Eastern Palace.

The Jinyiwei followed closely behind, but no one dared to approach.

Just then, the Three Treasures, with Guan Shan Yue in their arms, caught up.

"Is it done" Li Chen asked.

"It's done."

Sanbao nodded and said, "It's a road the couple walked together. They asked for it themselves, and they haven't suffered much."

"Well."

Li Chen responded with a nod and then said, “You must have many questions, such as why this palace spared this child, didn't eradicate him completely, and why not simply keep Guan Zhiwei here to trap Zhao Xuanji”

San Bao immediately replied, "Your Highness's thoughts are beyond my comprehension, and I dare not even guess."

After glancing at the three, Li Chen said indifferently: "That's what it means to be truly alone. When you don't even have someone to confide in, that's when you're truly alone."

Sānbǎo's face tightened. He didn't know how to respond, nor did he dare to.e had seen a ghost, frantically retreating and shouting at Zhou Ping'an: "Devil! You are a devil! Don't come any closer!"Zhou Ping'an said gently, "Look at me, I am clearly a person, how could I be a...
