"Are you still thinking about your prestige in the East Factory? If you don't have the time, you might as well think about how to apologize to His Highness."
Sanbao's words caused Chen Tong's expression to change suddenly, and he asked in a voiceless voice: "Will Your Highness be angry with me for this?"
Sanbao said calmly: "The king's heart is unpredictable. Although our Highness is still just the crown prince, his behavior and thoughts have become more and more like a real emperor."
Chen Tong gritted his teeth and asked: "May I ask the factory owner, is it best to go now?"
Sanbao said: "Does Commander Chen still want His Highness to remember you?"
When Chen Tong heard this, his expression turned sharp. He bowed to the end and said sincerely: "Thank you very much, Mr. Factory, for your guidance. It's a great kindness. I will never forget it."
Seeing Chen Tong leaving in a hurry, Sanbao had no expression on his face.
With Chen Tong's methods, without the support of the crown prince, there would be no chance of us taking any power away from him in a hundred years.
But just because of His Highness the Crown Prince's words, he had to slowly help Chen Tong up.
Because this is what the prince wants to see.
Perhaps, the prince just needs a less intelligent dog under his command.
And Chen Tong is just right.
When Chen Tong came to the Xi Zheng Hall with an anxious mood, Li Chen was handling official business.
In fact, Li Chen spent most of the day buried in various memorials.
"Chen Tong, a humble official, sees His Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Hearing Chen Tong's greeting, Li Chen said without raising his head: "Okay, no courtesy, please wait aside for a while. I will finish processing this memorial before I talk to you."
Chen Tong responded respectfully and honestly stepped aside to wait.
Waiting like this is enough for an hour.
Chen Tong didn't know whether Li Chen hit him on purpose or if he really forgot about him. He didn't dare to ask, so he could only endure the pain of the wound and stand by and wait in silence.
On the other hand, Li Chen's personal secretary and the First Secretary of the East Palace, Wan Jiaojiao, had been watching from the side, but she felt sorry that her Highness would not take the initiative to remind him because he was too busy.
You know, His Highness has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he must finish processing the official documents and memorials of the day before going to bed every day.
Therefore, in Wan Jiaojiao's view, the arrival of someone would disturb His Highness and delay His Highness's rest time. She would not even have time to hate him...
Li Chen, who felt sore in his back, raised his head and saw Chen Tong, who was pale and sweating on his forehead, standing tremblingly in the corner of Xi Zheng Palace. The first words he spoke were, "Why are you here?"
this!?"
Before Chen Tong, who was extremely embarrassed, could speak, Li Chen patted his forehead and laughed loudly: "I remember, I asked you to wait...Why do you look so ugly?"
Chen Tong knelt on the ground with a thump and said in a harsh voice: "I am not strict with you in my humble position. Please punish me, Your Highness."
Li Chen leaned on the golden chair and ignored his words.
He took the tea cup from Wan Jiaojiao's hand, took a sip, and then said slowly: "Are you injured?"
Chen Tong immediately replied: "The factory owner went back to clean up the traitors. He was not paying attention due to his humble duty and was attacked by a sneak attack, so he was slightly injured."
Rubbing the rim of the cup with his fingers, Li Chen said lightly: "Sambo asked you to come."
Chen Tong's face tightened, and he lowered his head and replied: "It's because I wanted to come to this humble position."
This sentence said nothing, but it said everything.
Putting down the tea cup, Li Chen said: "Since you have done something wrong, you must be punished. Since you have taken the initiative to accept the crime, and I will not punish you, it will be difficult to explain both emotions and reasons, public and private matters."
