t this concerns my husband, so as the Prince's wife, I am first and foremost Your Majesty's daughter-in-law. Anyone who threatens my husband's safety, then I must fight them to the death!"Su Jinpa's w...Chapter 1716: Wu Qingcang Comes to See Him

After Zhou Ping'an and the other two left, Li Chen sat alone in the side room for two hours.

During these two hours, many people came to see her, but they were all turned away by Wan Jiaojiao one by one.

At the door of the side room, Wan Jiaojiao glanced at the door that was still quiet. She then looked at the evening meal that had been sent over twice already and felt a little dejected.

Standing opposite her, Xiaozi hung his head low, eyes fixed on his nose, his nose fixed on his heart. He seemed to be lost in thought, or perhaps deeply contemplating something.

"Hey, what are you thinking about" Wan Jiaojiao asked.

Xiaogzi came to his senses and politely replied, "Sister Jiaojiao, I was wondering what might be troubling the prince."

Wan Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said, "How could we possibly know what the prince is thinking Even if we did, if it troubles him, what help could we possibly offer"

"Jiaojiao Jie said that, but as a servant girl, I also want to share the worries of Your Highness. It's just that my abilities are too limited and I can't be of much help."

Xiaogzi turned his head to look at the closed door and asked, "Did Your Highness often close the door to think things over"

"Yes."

Wan Jiaojiao recalled for a moment, but shook her head and said, "But it's rare, every time like that, there's something big happening... What are you asking about this for"

Xiao Wa was just about to speak when Wu Qingcang strode over.

Wu Qingscang is not like others. Even if the two of them tried to stop him, they would still be polite.

"Wu Shuai."

Wan Jiaojiao gracefully curtsied and asked politely, "Are you here to seek the prince"

Although Wan Jiaojiao was merely a maidservant, everyone knew she was the prince's absolute confidante. So even Wu Qingcang treated Wan Jiaojiao with courtesy, bowing and saying: "Indeed, there are some urgent military matters that require immediate audience with Your Highness."

Wàn Jiāojiāo hesitated: “But Your Highness is inside, and he ordered no one to disturb him.”

At this moment, Li Chen's voice echoed in the room.

"Please let Wu Shuai come in."

Wan Jiaojiao responded with a smile and whispered to Wu Qingcang, "Wu Shuai is still more impressive. There's one more thing I'd like to trouble you with."

Wu Qingcang said in confusion, "Miss, just speak your mind. As long as it's something this general can do, I will certainly not refuse."

Wàn Jiāojiāo picked up the evening meal and said, "Your Highness hasn't eaten yet. I went to remind him twice but was scolded by Your Highness. Could you please persuade Your Highness, Wu Shuai"

Wu Qingcang smiled cheerfully and said, "So that's the case. Please rest assured, my lady. Leave it to this general."

After having finished their dinner, Wu Qingcang led Wan Jiajiao through the door and entered.

Entering the private room, I saw Li Chen writing intently in the dimly lit room. Wu Qingsang placed the evening meal on the table and said, "This subordinate, Wu Qingsang, greets Your Highness."

"No need for formalities, please have a seat first."

Li Chen continued to write furiously, without even looking up.

Wu Qingscang didn't know what Li Chen was writing, but he didn't interfere. He obediently sat aside and patiently waited.

Knowing Wu Qingcang's arrival must be important, Li Chen didn't let him wait long. After finishing what he was doing, he put down his pen and looked up at Wu Qingcang and asked: "Alright, what's the matter"

Wu Qingcang, however, did not first speak of the matter at hand, but instead pointed to the food on the table and said, "Please have a meal first, Your Highness. Otherwise, I won't be able to account to the lovely lady outside."

Li Chen was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said, “This girl is quite bold, even commanding Wu Shuai.”e of an overwhelming power difference. Just as a strong warrior from the grasslands would not care about a three-year-old child waving their stick, our Liao army is powerful enough. As long as we push...
