Chapter 570 - 567: Expansive_1
For some reason, looking at the speechless Elder Fang, Qin Shangzhi couldn’t help but feel a sense of exhilaration. His eyebrows twitched as he raised his teacup.
The Crown Prince seemed to be in a much better mood. He smiled at Elder Fang and Qin Shangzhi, saying, "Alright, Elder Fang is also doing this for my sake. I understand! This journey... Elder Fang and Mr. Qin have truly worked hard. Go back and rest!"
After saying that, the Crown Prince turned to Bai Qingyan, "You must be hungry after such a long journey. I’ve been vomiting like crazy, and my stomach is very empty! Just now, Quan Yu asked the Imperial Chef to prepare some simple food. Let’s have some."
Elder Fang was very dissatisfied. He had seen the Crown Prince furrow his brows and look weary throughout the journey, without any appetite. Yet now, the Crown Prince appeared full of vigor and actively wanted to eat something.
Seeing Qin Shangzhi had risen, Elder Fang reluctantly stood up and left the main room with Qin Shangzhi.
Once outside, Qin Shangzhi, wearing his old boots, lifted the hem of his robe like a martial character on stage and strode down the steps.
When Quan Yu led palace maids carrying bowls and plates, stepping in lightly and serving the dishes, the Crown Prince ate a few bites. He was so delighted to have resolved a troublesome issue that had been bothering him for days that he drank a few cups of wine.
After getting slightly tipsy, the Crown Prince finally confided in Bai Qingyan, "I... originally thought everything would get better once I sat in this position! But upon sitting in this position, I found it to be like sitting on pins and needles, besieged on all sides! I... I’m not lying to you, I sometimes feel really tired."
