Crown Prince. No matter how you looked at it, it was a blatant overstep.Subconsciously, she glanced at Li Chen's face. Seeing that he wasn't angry, Su Jinpa finally felt a little relieved.This guy in...Chapter 1340: The Governor Who Fears Inside

"This esteemed sir, please wait a moment. I shall immediately inform the Governor!"

The captain of the guard shouted.

That Jinyiwei guard said coldly, "I'll give you a stick of incense. If you make His Highness wait outside the city for too long, all of you in Gansu and Shaanxi will have your heads roll!"

"Yes, yes, your servant will go at once."

The captain didn't even dare to fart, he turned his head and ran frantically back into the city.

The message was delivered to the Governor-General's Office of Gansu and Shaanxi province at once.

Also awoke Cheng Fuzhao, who had already fallen asleep.

"The Prince is here!"

Cheng Fuzhao is a man in his forties. He has a decent appearance, gentle and elegant, with some air of refinement. However, his complexion is pale and he doesn't look very healthy.

At this moment, he was frightened and flustered. He turned his head to look at the young woman who had just risen from the bed inside the bedchamber and asked, "My wife, what should we do"

That woman was in her early twenties. She was alluring, with narrow, captivating eyes that gave her a touch of both allure and cunning. Overall, she was fair-skinned and beautiful, a beauty indeed.

"What are you afraid of."

The woman rebuked, “If you’ve come, then you’ve come. Didn’t I say a long time ago that the Crown Prince has left the capital It’s not surprising he’s run to us now.”

Cheng Fu Zhao stammered, "But the Crown Prince has come to Haojing, clearly intending to investigate our actions. We've repeatedly delayed supporting Yueya Pass. Now that the Crown Prince is here, what can we do..."

"Look at you, good for nothing!"

The woman angrily rebuked, “Isn’t this all for your own good Didn’t you see that King Ning ignored the East Palace It’s clear that King Ning just wants to watch a show. At this time, if you go to support Yueya Pass, how will King Ning view you”

"Even if the Eastern Palace is furious, they're far away. Here in the Northwest, it's still King Ning who holds the real power. If you offend King Ning, you might lose your head."

Cheng Fuzhao was instantly speechless upon hearing this.

Seeing Cheng Fu Zhao's pitiful and weak appearance, the woman felt even more disdain in her heart. She impatiently said: "Don't be afraid, this is Hojing, your territory. You need to fear a prince who came alone If you recognize him, he is the prince. If you don't recognize him, he is an imposter."

Cheng Fuzhao heard the ruthlessness in the woman's voice and was taken aback. "What, what do you want to do!"

The woman spat, "What else can I do I'm just telling you there's no need to be afraid of him. At worst, I'll go and take refuge with King Ning. By then, even if the prince wants to deal with you, he'll have to ask King Ning for permission."

"You are the governor of Gansu and Shaanxi, and my father is the commander of Gansu and Shaanxi. You have political power, and my father has military power. How can King Ning not accept our allegiance"

After hearing the woman's words, Cheng Fu Zhao only felt his heart pounding in his chest.

Although he publicly obeyed the East Palace's orders, he never truly considered rebelling.

Although the woman didn't say it explicitly, every word and every meaning in her words was a subtle way of telling him to do the opposite.

Although he was uneasy, his cowardly and timid nature prevented Cheng Fuzhao from uttering a word of rebuttal.

"Don't panic."

The woman clearly knew Cheng Fuzhao's character. She brought out some clothes and said, "The prince is here, just treat him well, send up the beauties and jewels. If he knows what's good for him, he'll just give a light reprimand and that will be the end of it. As for us, we can continue as before. But if he's not sensible, then we'll teach him a lesson. I'll go with you, and have my father come over too. Who would he dare to fear"ed his hand and touched the girl's head, sighing: "If you are determined, I will take her away and place her in a nunnery. When she grows up, she can return to lay life or become a nun, or she can sea...
