The little prince said this while waving his tiny fists without any intimidating power.
"Better not, lest you get caught with me."
In the setting of [Concubine’s Favor], Li Changnian is the second male lead. Fortunately, he’s young now and unlikely to cause any major waves. Better safe than sorry, the Investigation Factory has yet to be established, and the current military institution serving as the Emperor’s guard is the Six Gates.
Six Gates trains a large number of Death Warriors and Hidden Guards.
Its main duties are "guarding the imperial entourage, patrolling and arresting," reconnaissance, arrests, and interrogations, reporting directly to Emperor Jingping.
"Xiao Chen, do you think the Crown Prince might have Six Gates’ Death Warriors around him?"
Shen Chen is still young and not yet involved in the official circles, so he isn’t very knowledgeable about these things: "I’m not sure about that."
Beside them, Li Qian raised his right hand proudly, eager to speak: "I know, Ah Zhi, I know. Don’t ask Xiao Chen, ask me." Showing an eager-to-impress attitude.
"Oh, you know? Then tell us."
Ye Zhi didn’t look at the little prince directly, wondering what a little brat could actually know, so she turned her interest to the lake, admiring it.
"Ahem, ahem." Clearing his throat.
Cute Li Qian rarely spoke during serious matters. He wanted Sister Ye Zhi to look at him in a different light.
"Changnian doesn’t have Six Gates’ Death Warriors by his side; he can’t catch you and throw you into the Imperial Prison. My mother told me, even though he’s the Crown Prince, he doesn’t have much real power, so you don’t have to worry."
Key point, my mother?
Ye Zhi spoke weakly: "Who’s your mother? As a woman, she shouldn’t know much about court affairs, right?"
"My mother is named Xiao Yu. Father occasionally comes to talk with her, and she loves me the most, so she definitely wouldn’t lie to me." The little prince looked very determined.
"Father, are you a Prince?"
Ye Zhi was dumbfounded. How come he never mentioned it? Hopefully, she didn’t say anything too rebellious before...
The little traitor seemed okay, calming down after a slight shock.
His reaction wasn’t as intense as hers.
After a few deep breaths, Ye Zhi calmed down and shivered as she spoke:
"Which Prince are you? Aren’t you siblings with Qinglian?"
"I’m the Eldest Prince, Qinglian is my sister, and Changnian is my second brother. When we first met, I mentioned my home address, which is the Imperial Palace, right." Li Qian proudly said: "You don’t need to worry. As his elder brother, if he dares to hurt you, I can hit him and avenge you."
Once again, he waved his little fist~
As if showing off his own power.
Ye Zhi stubbornly pursued: "Eldest Prince huh? Sounds familiar, do you know Xiaowen? Another Prince in the palace."
Li Qian looked confused: "Xiaowen is my nickname, used by my imperial grandmother to call me, how do you know?"
The little girl in light pink clothes moved her facial expression, her small mouth slightly open, but no words came out.
The person in front, is Emperor Xiao Wen.
The future of the Daqing Dynasty, everyone assumed Crown Prince Li Changnian would ascend to the throne. Instead, midway, a dark horse emerged, this Emperor Xiao Wen in front, took over the throne, with the reign name Xuanning.
During Emperor Xiao Wen’s reign, Shen Chen’s power peaked.
There were ministers impeaching him for dominating the court, being ruthless, with the Investigation Factory too powerful, listing various crimes.
Emperor Xiao Wen, however, paid no mind to it, for in his view, Shen Chen wasn’t that kind of person.
Power is like a drug, addictive, who can remain rational, who can stay unaffected.
When Ye Zhi arrived at Daqing, [Concubine’s Favor] was halfway written, only knowing that during Emperor Xiao Wen’s rule, the little traitor’s power was at its peak, without knowledge of what followed.
