Chapter 513 - 492: Second Update
A guard quietly entered Chenyuan Hall, Prime Minister Lin was startled, the lament he was voicing broke off midway, and as everyone was listening intently, Prime Minister Lin immediately realized this guard was not from Chenyuan Hall. He felt somewhat relieved; the Crown Prince hadn’t been entirely inactive.
The guard quietly approached Zheng Congyuan from behind, blending in with the crowd of Qi Ling and Qi Zhu. Dressed identically, in the midst of chaotic minds, no one noticed in the moment.
"Your Highness——" The guard was unfamiliar, but had a very inconspicuous appearance and, blending into the crowd, he approached Zheng Congyuan and whispered.
Zheng Congyuan’s head stayed facing forward, not turning around. Behind him, Qi Ling and Qi Zhu scanned the surroundings, ensuring that no one was paying attention to them, and intentionally distanced themselves from others.
"The Southeast Border and Eastern Border are secured, the two aristocratic families supporting the Wen Family have been dealt with, only the Western Border remains..." the guard spoke very softly, as if waiting for a signal from Zheng Congyuan, who did not respond.
The guard hesitated, then continued speaking.
"As for Nanmen State, they intend to cooperate with us..." The envoy from Nanmen State had mentioned this three times, for very obvious reasons.
Nanmen State had also recently undergone turmoil; the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne, thus they naturally needed allies, and this was an excellent opportunity. Moreover, having spent time in Nanzheng State already, the new emperor of Nanmen State clearly knew who truly held power in Nanzheng State.
The guard was somewhat anxious, seeing this as a two-birds-one-stone good deal for both Nanzheng State and Nanmen State.
