side and continue doing what you did when you were by Li Yinhu's side."“But Wenwang is not comparable to Li Yinhou; the former is far more powerful. Coupled with your identity and background, Wenwang...Chapter 1242: Observe the Changes

"I don't believe it."

Su Zhenning gave his honest opinion.

Zhang Biwu and Zhao Xuanji's relationship was profound, they were far more than ordinary colleagues or superiors and subordinates. For many years, Zhang Biwu and others like Fu Yuzhi helped Zhao Xuanji with many things. It can be said that without Fu Yuzhi and Zhang Biwu, Zhao Xuanji could have held power for many years, but it would have been much less effortless.

“Such people have long been in a state of mutual prosperity and loss. They are inseparable from each other. Once one person encounters trouble, the rest will make every effort to rescue them because once a gap appears in this circle, it signifies the beginning of their group's disintegration.”

If so, how could Zhao Xuanji possibly let Zhang Biwu leave easily

Listening to Su Zhenting's explanation, Li Chen felt it made sense.

He frowned and said, "But right now, it's obvious that Zhang Biwu has his own personal agenda and came here behind Zhao Xuanji's back."

Su Zhenting nodded in agreement: “That's right. Actually, when Zhang Biwu first contacted me, it was just after the court meeting where the new policies were announced ended. At that time, Zhang Biwu wasn't in any of the three ministries. As soon as the court meeting ended, he spoke to me in front of everyone, saying that he wanted an opportunity to communicate with Your Highness. That’s how we got to this meeting today.”

Li Chen nodded understandingly.

He's not a god, these things he wouldn't know unless Su Zhen Ting told him.

"Do you think there's a high chance they have internal problems" Li Chen asked.

"Yes, but as to the exact amount, I'm afraid I can't speculate."

Su ZhenTing bowed and said, "Actually, no matter what happens, Your Highness need not worry. Just observe calmly. Now that Your Highness is in such a lofty position, the ones who should be worried are Zhao XuanJi and Zhang BiWu."

Li Chen chuckled upon hearing this, saying: "Only a general knows me."

It is now autumn, and the world is a tapestry of golden hues. A chill permeates the air as animals sense winter's approach, busily foraging for sustenance to see them through the colder months. Their activity is heightened, a frantic dance against the encroaching frost.

Deep in this most authentic nature, Li Chen felt his mood lighten considerably. He waved his hand and said: "Today I came hunting, but the palace hasn't obtained any spoils. My flintlock didn't even get a chance to fire. This won't do! General, please accompany me for another round. No matter what, I must eat prey hunted by my own hands today."

Seeing Li Chen's high spirits, Su Zhen would naturally not be the one to dampen his mood. He smiled and said, "Your subject will certainly accompany you. However, your subject has already made a harvest, Your Highness still has nothing. If it truly doesn't work out, your subject will give half of that badger to Your Highness"

Li Chen flared up, angered by what he heard. He retorted, "Don't get too cocky! I will definitely beat you today. Let's go!"

"While I may not compare to Your Highness in other matters, when it comes to hunting, I will certainly take the lead. Just wait and see, Your Highness!"

·······

Back from the hunting grounds, Zhang Biwu's mind was heavy.

"Master, they're here."

Outside the carriage, the coachman's reminder brought Zhang Biwu back to reality. He was startled to realize that an hour's journey had passed without him noticing.

Lifting the curtain, Zhang Biwu gazed at the setting sun hanging on the wall. His heart still felt a touch of desolation. But when he saw Fu Yuzhi standing at his doorstep in the fading sunlight, Zhang Biwu's face immediately darkened.

"Zhang, do you dislike me so much" Fu Yuzhi stepped forward and said with a wry smile.

"What brings you here" Zhang Biwu asked calmly.Today, she once again appeared in the public eye, and no one dared to take it lightly.After Su Jinpa stepped into the Taihe Hall, he didn't stop. He first went to Dantangjing and said with a slight sm...
