ded to give Lichen a step down.At this time, as long as the crown prince sheathed his sword and said a word of misunderstanding, then everyone would be fine.But Li Chen behaved like a naive young man....Chapter 293: Kneeling for Multiple Meetings, Keeping One's Head Clear

"But I've been waiting for a while now Why didn't you come in earlier" Li Chen asked again.

Li Yinhu still said with his head bowed, "I haven't been here long. I heard from the servants that Your Highness is visiting your father in the palace, and my younger brother is waiting outside. I dare not disturb him for a moment or two."

Li Chen smiled, but said nothing.

"Then go in now, don't waste any time."

After Li Chen finished speaking, he left first.

Turning to face Li Chen's departing back, Li Yinhu bowed his head and said, "Brother, I bid farewell to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Walking on the snow-swept road, Li Chen said to Wan Jiaojiao beside him: "Do you know what kind of dog is the fiercest"

Wan Jiaojiao was taken aback for a moment, and answered in an uncertain voice: “I heard that on the Tibetan plateau, there is a ferocious dog called an Mastiff, which is so fierce that it can kill packs of wolves.”

Shaking his head, Li Chen said, "A beast that can be dealt with by just a bone isn't really fierce. The most dangerous ones are the ones who wag their tails and hide their fangs every day, then suddenly bite you in your blood vessels when you least expect it. Now that's what I call vicious."

Wàn Jiāojiāo didn't understand what was happening, she only felt a chill run down her spine and an inexplicable discomfort all over her body.

Seeing Wan Jiaojiao's frightened expression, as if she were a delicate little girl, Li Chen ignored her. He looked up at the overcast sky where a faint black dot was visible and, feeling a surge of interest, took out a spoon and blew into it.

A piercing whistle ripped through the sky, followed by a dark spot hurtling from the depths of the heavens.

In the blink of an eye, the small black dot became discernible, its silhouette appearing amidst the wind and snow. Like a king of the sky, it stood out, with piercing hawk-like eyes and feathers sharp as blades, truly magnificent and extraordinary.

A piercing and clear hawk cry echoed through the air. The white-feathered golden eagle soared in circles before diving down, revealing its magnificent presence only as it approached. With a single powerful swoop, this majestic bird, like a sharp arrow, flew towards Crown Prince Li Chen.

Look at that speed, and those sharp talons and beak. If an ordinary person were caught by it, having their limbs and head ripped off would be commonplace.

The guards were not worried, nor did anyone make a fuss.

Everyone knows this is a snow-white sea swallow, a rare breed presented to the Crown Prince by Xian Chao.

The golden eagle is already the king of eagles, and it, is the king among golden eagles.

Only Wan Jiaojiao, who had just met him for the first time, was unaware of the situation. She screamed in surprise before she could even react, and Hai Dongqing swooped down.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Wan Jiaojiao only had time to shout this sentence, Hai Dongqing had already stood steadily on Li Chen's shoulders.

Casting a sidelong glance at Wan Jiaojiao, he seemed to harbor some hostility.

To be precise, after being bonded, it showed hostility towards all breathing creatures except Li Chen.

"Don't be afraid."

Li Chen gently stroked the feathers of the blue-winged teal, feeling them to be rough yet smooth to the touch.

Its skeleton is sturdy and sharp, its feathers are incredibly smooth and beautiful.

These two words also didn't know whether to comfort Haidongqing or the pale-faced Wanjia Jiao.

> "In terms of loyalty, no human can compare to it."

"Return to the palace."

With a hawk perched on his shoulder, Li Chen returned to the Eastern Palace with his attendants and Wan Jiaojiao.

Having carefully circled to the other side of Haidongqing's shoulders, Wan Jiajiao finally dared to speak to Li Chen.

"Your Highness, word has just come that the Commander of the Jinyiwei, Chen Tong, is kneeling outside Xizheng Hall to apologize."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said lightly, "How long have you been kneeling"

Wàn Jiāojiāo replied, “It should have been more than an hour.”

"Haha."

Li Chen said faintly, "Let him kneel for a while longer, so his brain can clear up."Chapter 1725: Wu Yong's Struggle
