Chapter 149 Prince, You Are OutrageousChapter 157: Farewell to Jin Xueyuan

Chen Tong didn't hesitate and immediately replied: " Duan Jinjiang is usually very low-key, especially after entering the cabinet, he has hardly done anything particularly outstanding. Most things are mostly based on Zhao Xuanji's orders."

He was a recluse, content in his simple life. His greatest passions were collecting military treatises and works by renowned artists. He also had a close friendship with the literary giant Jingzhi, the two being bosom friends. Besides that, he lived a life of quiet simplicity.

Speaking of this, Chen Tong seemed to remember something and added: “However, Duan Jiang’s son Duan Changmian is a notorious wastrel in the capital. Some time ago, His Highness ordered us to keep an eye on the envoys from Xian Dynasty. We learned that after Duan Changmian met the Princess of Xian Dynasty, he became madly infatuated with her, almost agreeing to anything she asked, and constantly searching for opportunities to get close to her. Because of him, the princess visited Duan’s mansion several times, and Duan Jiang did not refuse, welcoming them all.”

Li Chen's eyes narrowed, he got up and said, "Change clothes, leave the palace!"

Chen Tong was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Where is Your Highness going I'd like to make arrangements in advance."

"Inn."

In Beijing, the inns (驛館) served two main functions: They were responsible for accommodating officials from outside the capital who returned to report on their duties. Secondly, they hosted foreign envoys, such as those from the Xiongnu tribes.

No matter which one it is, it's a big deal and shouldn't be taken lightly.

So the Beijing Post House is located within the Inner Imperial City. If you leave the East Palace and walk along Changan Avenue for no more than half an hour, you will see a large post house.

With the Jinyiwei having paved the way beforehand, Li Chen entered the inn naturally without any obstruction and didn't need to reveal his identity.

Eye to eye, Li Chen looked at them, and these young masters also looked at Li Chen.

"Young master, you're new here. Are you also here to see Princess Xianchao" A handsome young man with jade-like features asked Li Chen.

Li Chen glanced at the colorful gifts they were carrying, and instead of answering, he asked, “It seems like you guys haven’t seen anyone”

The young man who had spoken to Li Chen before turned a bit embarrassed and said with annoyance, "These past few days, Princess Xian Chao has been unwell. No one is allowed to see her. We just came to take a look... Sir, you don't need to waste your effort. Princess Xian Chao won't see you anyway, not to mention that Young Master Duan is inside right now. If you go, you'll only end up with nothing."

Li Chen smiled and stopped paying attention to them, walking straight into the courtyard.

Seeing that Li Chen didn't heed his advice, those young masters scoffed. One of them said, "Look, another one who doesn't believe in the warnings. Everyone thinks they are the dragon among men, hoping to catch the eye of Princess Xianchao. Even someone from a family like Duan's can't get noticed, let alone this stranger. Who knows if he'll be thrown out next second."

At first, the one who spoke had a thought and said: "Everyone, let's go take a look."

"What are you looking at He's definitely going to be kicked out soon. Young Master Duan is in there, and he has been rejected for several days in a row. His mood is terrible. If it weren't for Young Master Wu still having some face, we would both be kicked out..."

Before this person could finish speaking, a figure was thrown out from inside the courtyard.

Someone burst into laughter and said, "Look, you were saying 'boom'! This person was directly thrown out. They're truly humiliated to the extreme."

The man who was thrown out sat down on the ground with his face full of anger and shouted towards the courtyard, "Who are you!"

These people outside were listening to the sound and thought it was familiar. When they took a closer look, they were all dumbfounded.

The person who was thrown out, was actually Duan Changmian, the eldest son of the Duan family!lace intends to make a large-scale adjustment of positions among the current officials. Some important positions will be announced today, while others will either be transferred from other departments...
