Chapter 694 I haven't been reckless enoughChapter 1387: Blocking the Way

Although he was used by Cai He, Li Chen wasn't angry.

Everyone has their own reasons and convictions.

Cai He's life story is truly tragic, and her inner resentment and cries for justice are also true.

This was her chance, and she seized it. It was fated for her to have a turning point in her life.

Such things were nothing to Li Chen.

He is not a god, he can't possibly foresee everyone's thoughts and feelings.

After leaving Caihe, Li Chen summoned Xu Wei.

Two things.

Li Chen said, "You send a few trustworthy subordinates to keep watch outside this door day and night. Besides the doctor, no one is allowed in, and no one from the palace is allowed to go inside to hurt Cai He."

"The second thing is, prepare yourself and accompany me on a trip."

As for the first matter, Xu Wei stated that it presented no difficulty.

But hearing the second thing, he immediately spoke up: "Your Highness, it is not very peaceful outside at the moment."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "How, can you be the master of this palace"

At this, Xu Wei immediately clamped his lips shut and clasped his fists together, bowing deeply and saying, "This subordinate will prepare at once."

"Go."

Having Xu Wei leave, Li Chen asked Wan Jiaojiao, "Is Gong Huiyu back"

"No ...Is Your Highness going out Can I come with you" Wan Jiaojiao asked.

Li Chen chuckled lightly: "That place isn't suitable for you to go, Xiaoguanzi and Xu Wei can just accompany me. You stay here and watch the lotus blossoms. King Ning is a man who holds grudges, he might retaliate as soon as I leave. The probability is low, but it's still something we need to be prepared for."

Wan Jiaojiao pouted, although she was a little disappointed that she couldn't go out with the Crown Prince, she still obediently agreed.

In a cup of tea's time, Li Chen, accompanied by Xu Wei and two other masters, walked out of the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the gates of the Prince's mansion, I saw the steward come out to greet me.

It seems to have received the news beforehand and was waiting here early.

It's not surprising. The palace is so large, and Li Chen previously lived in the back courtyard. He walked from the back courtyard to the front gate; that long stretch of road would be enough for the servants in the palace to discover his intention to leave and report it upwards.

"Your Highness."

The steward respectfully stood before Li Chen and said, "My lord, are you going out"

Li Chen tasted the flavor: "Are you going to stop me"

The steward quickly replied, “I dare not! Even if I had the courage, I wouldn't dare to block your path.”

"It's just that the prince has ordered that your Highness is of the utmost importance. If your Highness wishes to go out, I need to ensure your safety is protected. Please wait a moment while I summon the guards from the mansion to accompany your Highness on this journey."

"This palace just feels bored, going out for a walk to clear my head, there's no need for such a big fuss."

Li Chen said, and was about to go around the butler.

However, the steward stepped forward and said calmly, "Your Highness, your status is noble. If an uncouth ruffian outside were to bump into Your Highness, this lowly servant would be put to death. Please understand, Your Highness, and allow me to send guards along."

Li Chen calmly looked at the butler, said nothing, only gave Xu Wei a look.

Xu Wei, receiving a signal from Li Chen, strode forward and kicked the steward to the ground, roaring angrily, "You blind fool! How many heads do you have on your neck to dare block His Highness's way!"

Xu Wei kicked down with one foot, the steward spat blood and cried out in agony as he fell to the ground. Li Chen walked over to him and said indifferently, "A lowlife dared to injure this palace It seems that under Wang Shu's rule, Jin Cheng's law and order situation is so worrying" himself over such a trivial matterEven if he achieved his goal, what good would it do himAt this level, one shouldn't be so immature.Just then, a voice came from outside the palace gates.The Duke's g...
