Princess Liu Yao's entourage had returned to the Third Prince's palace and everyone had decided to rest except for the soldiers who were on guard.

As everyone was already asleep in sleep, Qin Chen crept out of the residence he occupied, then moved quickly towards his residence which tonight was guarded by only Jin Han and a few of his trusted soldiers.

Seeing Qin Chen's arrival, the guard soldiers immediately knelt down, while Jin Han just opened the door for Qin Chen.

Once inside his residence, Qin Chen momentarily went around seeing the state of the interior of his residence that was still the same, and very well maintained.

Satisfied going around and looking at the state of the interior of his residence, Qin Chen sat down at the place he usually used as a place to work, instead, and as he sipped the tea Jin Han prepared he heard Jin Han's report on the state of the Chu Kingdom.

“Master, currently the Chu Kingdom is still in peacetime. However, lately there has been chaos in the western border region due to drought disasters that have occurred more than five instead. Coupled with disaster relief corrupted by Royal officials, making the chaos even more widespread.”.

“Crown Prince Qin Yuwen who is expected to solve the chaos, he actually made chaos in the western border region increasingly so. Selling water and disaster relief food, Crown Prince Qin Yuwen used the plight of the Kingdom's population to multiply his wealth coffers.”.

“Crown Prince Qin Yuwen can no longer be expected. I am sure after this the title of Crown Prince will be transferred to the Second Prince, or maybe even move to the Fourth Prince,” Qin Chen said.

“The second prince is only slightly better than the current Crown Prince. As for the Fourth Prince, he was still too easy to accept the title of Crown Prince. The only one who deserves that title is Mister,” Jin Han said.

Qin Chen smiled hearing that, “I am no longer a part of this Kingdom, and it just so happens that I am also not interested in the throne of Chu Kingdom,” Qin Chen said.

“Since the Lord decided to leave, the power of the Chu Kingdom has actually weakened even more. Many of the top brass in the military decided to leave his post, once they heard the news of the departure of Mr...”.

“At least there are 10 Generals and over ten thousand warriors who no longer devote themselves to the Kingdom of Chu, shortly after the departure of the Lord.”.

“Most of them currently choose to be farmers or traders to connect life. However, they are still willing to take up arms, as long as it's a direct order from Mister,” Jin Han said.

“Before meeting me and I trained to be a formidable warrior and General, they used to come from families of peasants and merchants of war victims, who no longer had any hope of life. It is natural that they choose to re-enter the two fields after no longer being in the Royal military,” said Qin Chen.

“Currently the military power of the Chu Kingdom is in the hands of General Li. From this, I think Master can already deduce what the current state of the Chu Kingdom is like,” Jin Han said.

“With military power in the hands of General Li, it means that the current existence of Grand Concubine has more influence than the existence of the King. If this situation continues, we just have to wait for the time of the downfall of the present King,” Qin Chen said.

“Actually the position of the King has fallen since Mr. Decided to leave the Kingdom. Without Master, King Qin Duan Ren was just a tiger that had lost its fangs and all its sharp hooves.” Jin Han knew for sure how much influence Qin Chen had in the government of the Chu Kingdom led by King Qin Duan Ren.

“I didn't expect him to be so fragile after I left this Kingdom. However, it was still not enough to reply to what I felt, even though I did not have the desire to reciprocate what he had done to me.”.

Before leaving the Chu Kingdom after severing all ties with the members of the Kingdom, Qin Chen had a chance to see how King Qin Duan Ren spent the night with the woman who became an encouragement when facing the enemy on the battlefield.

However, in just one night, the man he had respected all along, had instead snatched away his life spirit, leaving behind a pain that was hard to treat. Luckily, he still considers him his father. Otherwise, perhaps that person had already died in his hands the night before he left the Chu Kingdom.

What he saw that night was still ringing up until now, and it was hard for him to forget the events of that night.

“What the Master said. What in the future will happen to King Qin Duan Ren, it must indeed happen. If you were the first to congratulate me, I would be the second to do that.” Jin Han gave the scroll which was King Qin Duan Ren's threatening letter to General Li's family.

“It turns out she did this to get Grand Concubine..” Qin Chen had just read a portion of the letter Jin Han had given him.

After reading the whole letter, Qin Chen suddenly frowned, “Threatening to destroy the Li family, if General Li does not give his first daughter to the King. However, why Li Wei as the second daughter who married the King, and became Grand Concubine?.”

Qin Chen stared intently at Jin Han, asking for a complete explanation from him.

“The first daughter of the Li Family actually did not matter if she had to be the King's wife, but suddenly Princess Li Wei at that time proposed that she would replace her brother to marry the King. After the talk of alot in the Li Family, and heard Li Wei's long-term plans. General Li eventually agreed to marry Li Wei to the King.” Jin Han did not forget to tell her what plans Li Wei would have.

“Making the Li family the ruler of the Chu Kingdom. Didn't he get all that soon?” qin Chen asked Jin Han.

Jin Han nodded his head, then he said, “For Li Wei not only to rule over the Chu Kingdom, but he also wanted to rule over other Kingdoms, including the Shu Kingdom. In order to realize his ambition, Li Wei had secretly prepared a large amount of strength, which was getting hard training in Fuyang City.”.

After hearing everything Jin Han said to her, Qin Chen knew the main reason Li Wei ended her relationship with her and chose to become the Great Concubine of the Chu Kingdom. With such great ambition, naturally the advantage he gained would be greater, by being someone who stood by the King's side, compared to being someone who stood by the Third Prince's side.

So far, only this time did he feel very confident about his guess. However, he was still mounting with the sad face that Li Wei showed that night after what he had done with King Qin Duan Ren. Even though he only briefly saw all that, Qin Chen was sure what he saw was not a contrived expression.

Ignoring it all, feeling enough with all the information he got from Jin Han, Qin Chen decided to leave his residence, but he still did not want to return to the residence he occupied.

Jumping onto the roof of the watchdog that was on the back side of his palace, Qin Chen wanted to enjoy the calmness and gusts of the night wind. However, not even a minute sitting enjoying the night breeze. His two eyes caught the movement of two figures who continued to move to and fro, looking for a gap to enter his palace area.

Constantly watching their movements, with the sharp vision he had and the light of the moon, Qin Chen could see the symbol of the Li Family in the armour worn by both of them.

A wide smile was seen on Qin Chen's face after seeing all that, then like a gust of wind he moved closer to the two figures who had not yet also realized his existence. Until finally Qin Chen was already standing straight right behind the two.

Using both of his hands, Qin Chen tightly gripped the necks of the two people from behind, then he said, “What does the Li Family spy want to do in this place? Do you guys want to spy on Princess Liu Yao? If you do that with the intention of harming Princess Liu Yao, I will not allow you to see tomorrow!.”

“We have no bad intentions for Princess Liu Yao. The two of us just want to ascertain the identity of someone who happens to be in the entourage of Princess Liu Yao,” said one of the spies, who did not mention who the figure wanted to ascertain his identity.

“Tell me who told you to, and who do you want to confirm his identity?,” asked Qin Chen not one bit he loosened the grip of his hand.

Not to get an answer yet, Qin Chen felt the bodies of the two people he was holding slowly turn cold, and he was no longer able to feel the heartbeat of the two.

Releasing the clutches of his hands, the two previously upright men suddenly fell flat on their backs with black-colored blood flowing from their mouths, “No hesitation ended his own life when caught by the enemy. The Li family seems to have gathered people they can trust,” Qin Chen said.

“Cleaning identity? Looks like I know who told you to.” Qin Chen showed a smile on his face, then he again said, “Li Wei, it turns out that you are quite observant in making observations, but it is not that easy you will get, what you want.”.
