Behind Long Huaiyu was not just his mysterious master, but also a prince, which Li Yinhou had known all along.

But as to who exactly it was, Li Yinhǔ never received any news.

Originally, he could have waited patiently. However, the situation had suddenly changed, and things had reached a point where he had to fight with everything he had. Therefore, he couldn't wait any longer.

He wanted to know who was standing behind Long Huaiyu and his disciples.

As for Xu Wei's surveillance, it was merely due to his habitual caution and prudence. He would not completely trust anyone.

He didn't think Xu Wei had the possibility of betraying him.

Throughout history, so many things have proven Xu Wei to be a rare and loyal good dog.

But he didn't know that while he ordered his men to spy on Xu Wei, this "good dog" of his, as he saw it, immediately sent all the intelligence he gathered back to the East Palace through the Dongchang channel after leaving the palace.

After sending the message, Xu Wei did not dare to be too flamboyant. He directly followed Li Yinhu's orders and went out of Xizhimen to find the disguised Taoist priest to take over three hundred men with swords and axes.

And this important news was also sent to the East Palace by the Dongchang at the fastest speed.

At this moment, Li Chen was hugging Zhao Rui and resting.

As soon as Li Chen closed his eyes, he was awakened by the shouts outside the door.

Knowing that people who weren't important wouldn't bother him at this time, Li Chen immediately stood up.

"Your Highness, are you busy again"

Zhao Rui felt a pang of reluctance.

Your Highness hasn't had a proper moment of self-care in ages.

It was a rare opportunity, and it was interrupted.

"Well, there might be some urgent matters. Don't worry, I'll be back once I'm done."

It's not that easy.

As soon as she thought about the fact that in a few days it would be the day the Crown Princess entered the palace, Zhao Rui, who felt her future becoming increasingly difficult, forced herself to cheer up and said: "Your Highness, important matters come first. The concubine will first attend to your changing clothes."

Li Chen stood still, arms outstretched, allowing Zhao Rui to dress him. He noticed the dejection in Zhao Rui's expression and immediately knew what she was thinking about.

"Are you worried that after the Crown Princess enters the palace, your life will be difficult"

Zhao Rui's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

In ancient times, a woman's jealousy was a serious offense. A husband could divorce his wife on this grounds alone.

What's more, these are the prince and princess!

"No."

Zhao Rui hurriedly said, "This concubine is just a little worried that the Crown Princess doesn't like this concubine."

Li Chen said in a gentle voice, "The Crown Princess has a cool and collected temperament and is not unkind. After getting along with her for a while, you will know that she is also easy to get along with. Don't worry that she will deliberately make things difficult for you."

Zhao Rui pursed her lips and nodded gently.

He gently squeezed Zhao Rui's hand and Li Chen smiled, "Due to my identity, I am destined to have many women by my side. With national affairs being so busy, I don't have time to spend with every single woman well. But you are after all my first Crown Princess Consort, and in the future, you will also be my first Empress. This Palace will not treat you unfairly."

This statement, rather than being a consolation, is more of a guarantee.

A guarantee of a noblewoman's position.

The only reliance for women in the imperial harem was the emperor. After Li Chen ascended the throne, Zhao Rui entering the palace was a foregone conclusion, but her position was uncertain. It could be a concubine or a noble consort.

A concubine's position, while not as prestigious as the Empress', granted her authority over a palace. Although the Empress held a unique and unrivaled status, Zhao Rui never aspired to that position.

Empresses are never chosen based on the emperor's preference, but rather on political considerations.

Therefore, the position of a concubine became the ultimate aspiration for most women in the imperial harem. see it Could you all be naive enough to think that the Liao army would relax its surveillance on the two generals"By then, I'm afraid that as soon as the two generals issue an order, high-ranking Lia...
