Intelligence delivered personally by Gong Huiyu could only pertain to Jian Xin.

And since Jian Xin is now on a mission to protect Zhou Ping'an, this intelligence scroll must have a message from Chen Ping An.

Li Chen took the note and was about to open it when Wan Jiaojiao came over with a dish of snacks.

Seeing Li Chen start to work again, Wan Jiaojiao pouted and said: "Your Highness, it's almost time for you to rest!"

“The last thing, handle it well and then rest.” Li Chen said.

Wan Jiaojiao let out a soft hum, muttering in discontent, "There's always so much to do, Your Highness. You're always like this, wishing you could be eight people at once. Going on like this, your body will collapse sooner or later. You don't care about yourself, but I do."

Listening to Wan Jiaojiao's incessant chatter, Li Chen smiled, the note in his hand already unfolded.

The message on the note wasn't long; you could read it in one glance.

Just one glance was enough to make Li Chen almost curse.

"This is a peaceful week!!!"

Li Chen slapped the note on the table with a loud bang, startling Wan Jiaojiao.

Wàn Jiāojiāo instinctively thought Zhou Pīng'ān had done something outrageous that angered the prince. But when she looked up, she only saw a look of strange excitement and bewildered amusement on the crown prince's face.

Now Wan Jiaojiao was curious.

What exactly did Zhou Ping'an do to make the increasingly composed and inscrutable Crown Prince so flustered

Li Chen knew that Zhou Ping'an was going to the King of Ning's fiefdom, and would inevitably cause some trouble. His purpose was precisely to let Zhou Ping'an stir up trouble.

But Li Chen did not expect that Zhou Ping'an's guts were so big that he actually set fire to Ning Wangfu!

To make matters worse, this brazen individual even incited Jian Xin to raid one of the Prince Ning's warehouses.

This warehouse contains gold and silver, which together amount to four hundred thousand taels of silver.

This is not even the most outrageous thing. It's nothing for Ning Wang to have four million taels of silver.

But the most outrageous thing was that besides this sum of money, the warehouse also contained enough standard weapons to equip 50,000 elite soldiers, including red artillery pieces.

This is going to cause a huge stir.

This hole was so big that even Li Chen didn't know how to deal with it.

"Wan Jiaojiao."

Li Chen shouted.

"Oh!"

Wàn Jiāojiāo reflexively replied.

"Summon Minister Zhao Xuanji to the palace immediately! If he's asleep, bring him and his bed here!"

Also, immediately send someone to bring General Su Zhenting back! Make him come back!

On Li Chen's command, Wan Jiaojiao didn't dare hesitate for a moment. She lifted her skirt and ran out.

Thirty minutes later, Zhao Xuanji almost limped into the Hall of Governing Affairs.

Li Chen summoned him in the middle of the night. He had already gone to sleep before, but when he received the urgent summons, even Zhao Xuanji had no choice but to get up immediately, put on his clothes, and rush over.

He knew that Li Chen had summoned him, it must be a major event.

Entering the practice hall, Zhao Xuanji saw Su Zhendong had already been there.

They exchanged curt nods, their smiles barely reaching their eyes, acknowledging each other with the bare minimum of professional courtesy.

Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji bowed to each other, showing no disrespect. They were given the same courtesy as Su Zhen'ting, then Li Chen directly got to the point: "Last night, a fire broke out in the Ningwang's territory, burning down a warehouse. Hundreds of firefighters and civilians witnessed that the warehouse contained four million taels of silver and enough equipment to equip 50,000 elite soldiers, including red-clothed cannons."

The moment the words left her lips, both Su Zhen and Zhao Xuanji froze in place.e had been so popular."What if I said no" Ning Wang asked coldly.Li Chen said calmly, “You can't get out of the barracks.”"Hey!"King Ning laughed, "When I was charging into battle, you were still in y...
