This meal, very subtly, immediately returned to normal.

Although Du Jiang was dead, the investigation into the case did not end. Su Zhen Ting had been pursuing it all this time.

With Li Chen's power gained from his political maneuvering on the court against Zhao Xuanji, Su Zhen'ting was actually able to uncover a lot of things.

"To what extent are you implicated" Li Chen asked calmly.

"Extremely."

Even Lian Suzhen showed a grimace and said, "If we dig deeper, half the military, one-third of the officialdom..."

Li Chen's heart skipped a beat.

So many years ago, a tragedy, the people involved, actually reached such a point.

This can already be said to be the case that at the time, the entire court, both military and civilian officials, were involved.

Li Chen suddenly understood why his adoptive father hadn't been able to solve this case for so many years.

It's not that it can't be found out, but that it can't be found out.

With such a wide reach, how can this be investigated

If things go wrong, it's a coup d'état, a military mutiny.

Even emperors can't do everything. There are some things they shouldn't do, and one must be careful not to offend others.

When even the mighty emperors of yore were cautious about this very thing, can this Regent Prince now possibly take a bite out of it

For this very reason, Su Zhen Ting chose not to act rashly after finding some things out. Instead, he decided to inform Li Chen first.

"Secure the evidence, and make the case solid."

Li Chen said softly, "Everything, let's talk after the new year."

Su Zheting nodded, very pleased that Li Chen hadn't acted impulsively.

Such a major event should indeed be handled with caution and without rash action.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will handle this properly."

Su Zhen Ting was pleased, as was Li Chen.

He let out a light sigh and said, "Fortunately, I have the General to assist me. Otherwise, many things would be beyond my capacity alone."

Su Zhen Ting immediately said: “Everything, is what this subordinate should do. Your Highness’s wisdom surpasses this subordinate by far, and what I have done is nothing to boast about.”

Li Chen didn't say anything polite. He knew what Su Zheting wanted.

What he desired most was a peace of mind, a reassurance that the Su family would enjoy long-lasting stability and prosperity.

Su Zheting grinned with satisfaction.

Next, Li Chen's next sentence almost made him laugh out loud.

“This palace's eldest son should be from the main wife.”

A short sentence, yet a huge promise.

Li Chen's position as the crown prince is set in stone. The current emperor, Da Xing, is nearing his end and could pass away at any moment. The succession of the crown prince to the throne is imminent.

Then, what is the identity of Li Chen's eldest son

He is the next Crown Prince!

He is more likely to be the next emperor!

This promise, it could be said, transcends the ordinary.

Even Su Zhen'ting, was so excited that his beard trembled.

He raised his hand, about to thank her, but heard his daughter next to him say: “I never said I was marrying you!”

Su Zhen Ting glared at her, almost making his own girl angry to death.

"Haughty!"

Here's your turn to speak!？

Su Zhen Ting was truly angry.

"You've been spoiled rotten by your father, which has made you arrogant!"

Su Jinpa bit her lip, her face full of stubbornness and unwillingness.

That cold and aloof personality, it seems, would only crumble when faced with this matter, causing her to regress to the capriciousness that a girl her age should have.und the Eastern Palace. After that, even birds dare not approach the Eastern Palace anymore."Getting momentum."With his hands tucked into his sleeves, Li Chen narrowed his eyes and gazed at the distan...
