Hearing this, Li Chen smiled and said, "Well, that's right, it's true."

"If you say that you're used to it, I think you're deceiving me. Suddenly changing environments and losing your freedom... At least I know that before, when you were at the mansion, if you wanted to go out, your father wouldn't restrict you; he would just make sure you were safe. But it's different in the palace. As the Crown Princess, even taking a single step outside the palace is incredibly difficult."

Su Jinpa said with a frown, "Why would I lie to you Just be straightforward."

"Hope to always hear your true words here."

Li Chen rubbed his temples and said, “Now I want to hear the truth, but it’s getting harder and harder.”

"The higher you climb, the colder it gets. The people around you will fall into two categories: those who try their best to please you and those who scheme to bring you down. Neither of these types will speak honestly with you, and in the foreseeable future, this situation will only worsen and show no signs of improvement." Su Jinpa struck without mercy.

"Aren't there still people like you who are a third confidant" Li Chen said with a smile.

Su Jinpa got up and said, "I'm going to take a lunch break. If you don't have anything else to do, just go busy yourself."

Li Chen originally wanted to linger a while, but intelligence from the front line would arrive at any moment. Li Chen didn't want Su Jinping to know about this, so he could only get up and leave dejectedly.

Looking at Li Chen's back, Su Jinpa was still a little curious.

Coming outside, Li Chen called over the palace maids and eunuchs who were in charge of Laiyi Hall.

"Your Highness, all is well."

The two people knelt down in front of Li Chen and bowed respectfully.

"Don't let the Crown Princess know about past affairs, understand" Li Chen said faintly.

Su Jinpa resided in Laiyi Hall. The most convenient source of information from the outside world was these palace maids and eunuchs. Li Chen didn't want them to be unable to control their mouths and let Su Jinpa know how dire the situation was at Yueyaguan.

The two nodded eagerly, indicating they understood.

Only then did Li Chen leave at ease.

Xishan Provincial Government Office.

Zhao Heshan was kneeling on the ground with his entire family and officials of all ranks from the government offices. Before them, the eunuch who had come from the palace had just finished reading the imperial edict aloud.

The eunuch, holding the imperial edict, stepped forward. Zhao Heishan raised both hands above his head and took the edict. Only then did he stand up. With practiced ease, he slipped a silver note into the eunuch's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work on this journey."

The eunuch beamed and said, “Lord Zhao, you are too kind.”

"Just have some tea, sir. It's a small gesture of respect."

The eunuch's smile became even more radiant as he said, "Zhao Dairong has been promoted and will soon be going to the capital to serve as a senior official in the Department of Censorial Officials. At that time, officials from all over the country will come and go through Zhao's hands. His power would only be second to the newly established three provincial administrations. To receive such a good position, congratulations, Zhao sir!"

Zha He Shan waved his hand, but a smile couldn't be hidden on his face as he said, "It's all thanks to Your Highness' grace."

"Zhao DaRen."

The eunuch pointed at the plaque above the government office and said, “Your Highness’ new policies have changed all provincial-level offices to be under the jurisdiction of governors. You should get this plaque changed before you leave.”

"There's a lot of meaning behind these words. Zhao Heshan immediately nodded and said, 'Rest assured, sir. I will definitely arrange the Xishan Prefecture properly before going to the capital to take up my post.'"

"Make haste."

The eunuch smiled obsequiously at Zhao He Shan and said, "Things have been rather turbulent in the capital lately."Wu Ban Shan, Li Song Ru shouted angrily: "We, the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun, were ordered to support Yueya Pass. We traveled a long way and just arrived at Yueya Pass to set up camp. We have committe...
