Chapter 956.2: If You're Going to Do a Good Deed, Do It All the Way - Part 2
After leaving the workshop, Chen Chao and Song Lian walked side by side along the street. The two martial artists, who had known each other for a long time, remained silent for a while.
After quite some time, Chen Chao finally asked, “His Highness’ marriage, has it been set for the beginning of next month?”
Song Lian nodded. This matter was already known throughout the imperial court. The Ministry of Rites was pressed for time, and it was said that the old minister there had been cursing quite a bit in private.
Chen Chao calculated the days; at most half a month remained. After thinking for a moment, he nodded. “That’s fine. Handle this matter first to settle the hearts of the court officials. Once the great war begins, none of these things will be possible.”
Song Lian looked at Chen Chao and reminded him, “These days, the palace has been asking about your return. Should you make a trip to the palace?”
Chen Chao thought for a moment, then shook his head. “I already know His Highness’ intentions, but there are some things I cannot do.”
Song Lian sighed.
Chen Chao smiled. “It’s already good enough that His Highness has such intentions.”
After saying this, Chen Chao had Song Lian leave first, while he himself walked slowly alone along the long street.
