Chapter 490: The First Update
Time dripped slowly by, and the patience of those watching Prime Minister Lin mourn the Former King in Chenyuan Hall had started to wear thin. The Crown Prince remained motionless, allowing the Wen Family to surround Chenyuan Hall, and even Prime Minister Lin acted in the same manner.
For a time, no one knew what play the Crown Prince was really performing.
Moreover, many officials had received news that their residences were now besieged by the Wen Family’s people, which made everyone in Chenyuan Hall anxious.
The guard came again, just like the last time, blending in with Zheng Congyuan’s guards inside the Chenyuan Hall, walking openly and attracting almost no attention. After all, more than ten of Zheng Congyuan’s Hidden Guards and the Imperial Forest Guards were pacing in and out of Chenyuan Hall as well.
But Prime Minister Lin still recognized him instantly, especially when the guard walked straight toward Qi Ling. Although Qi Ling did not speak to the guard, he stepped aside to make room, and the guard moved forward, his stature and silhouette no different from Qi Ling’s and Qi Zhu’s.
Zheng Congyuan continued to kneel, his vigilance was his duty, and at the moment, it served as the best excuse.
"Your Highness, the news from the Northwest Border is late. Shall we continue with the plan?" According to the plan, they should have received news from the Northwest Border an hour ago, which was the deadline given by the Crown Prince to Lord Ju. But there was still no news from Lord Ju.
All the spies planted along the way to the Northwest Border had not sent any messages either. Everything was ready, and they were just waiting for news from Lord Ju.
