This statement was well-spoken and impressive.

Below, a group of top-tier second-generation elites from Beijing all generously praised Prince Wen's benevolence.

And Wen Wang's heir, Wen Liang Gong Jian, was not only virtuous and modest but also handsome and charming. This captivated the unmarried young women, who were immediately intrigued by his appearance. A few bold ones even began inquiring whether Wen Wang's heir had already married.

How are you feeling

Li Chen leaned into Su Jinpa's ear and asked.

Su Jinpa was listening to Wen Wang's son speak when Li Chen suddenly startled her. She pushed Li Chen, making him sit a little further away from her so he wasn't leaning on her so close, and then said: "He's handsome and speaks beautifully, with an air of grace and elegance. There's nothing to say about that."

"That's just hypocritical," Li Chen said nonchalantly.

Su Jin's smile didn't quite reach his eyes as he said, "Are you jealous Everyone else avoids him like the plague, but you fawn all over him"

"Jealousy"

Li Chen let out a light chuckle and said, "You're giving him too much face."

And just across from them, Zhao Taili watched the two people laughing and chatting intimately, his eyes blazing with jealousy.

He kept thinking of ways to humiliate Li Chen, so he could know the consequences of offending him.

At this point, Wen Wang’s son looked deeply pained and said, "Over these years, natural disasters have plagued our land, while the barbarian Huns on our borders relentlessly provoke us. As for me, though I am but a humble individual, I also lament the weakness of the imperial court, resulting in the suffering of the people."

"Although natural disasters are not the fault of the imperial court, in such a difficult time, the court still sends troops to fight for a small vassal state. The soldiers who die are the good sons of our great Qin, and the national strength that we already have little of is consumed."

"While the imperial court wages endless wars, it remains blind to the plight of the domestic disaster victims. Every time I think about this, I find myself unable to sleep or eat."

“Think of us, in our prime, the perfect age for making a name and achieving great things. We have the wealth, power, and connections of our forefathers, far exceeding those ordinary people. But precisely because of this, we should use the resources at our disposal to create better conditions for this nation, for the country, for the common people!”

King Wen's heir's words stirred great excitement among those present.

Everyone seems to be brainwashed, eager to immediately join Prince Wenwang's cause.

Seeing that Prince Wen's son had his emotions stirred with just a few words, Su Jinpa frowned slightly.

The words of the Crown Prince Wen are very dangerous.

Although he didn't say it outright, his words were laced with discontent towards the court and the current situation. It seemed like he was intentionally trying to pit the court against himself, gathering everyone here under the banner of the greater good of the people.

Su Jinpa only had a vague feeling about this, but she wasn't sure. She subconsciously looked at Li Chen, wanting to get confirmation from him.

Li Chen remained expressionless, but upon noticing Su Jinpa's gaze, he offered a slight smile and said, "Look again."

Up until now, Li Chen has only seen that the prince Wen Wang's ambitions are not small, and they are definitely not good news for both the court and himself.

But what exactly he wants to do, Li Chen is not a god. With the current information being too scarce, it's impossible to draw a conclusion. He can only wait and see if Prince Wen will reveal his plans and ambitions in the next step.

Just when even Li Chen thought that the next performance would be another spectacle by Wen Wang's son, a voice suddenly cut him off mid-speech.

"Prince, you're not right about this, are you" soldiers are fighting with injuries, and even General Su Pingbei himself has come out to fight the enemy. This shows how dire the situation on the battlefield is for the Qin army.As I watched, the mo...
