Chapter 151: Chapter 151 King Chen is Really Gentle

"Prince, you, you said, I can do anything."

Li Shang hurriedly kowtowed to plead for his sin.

Although the Crown Prince could save his life, in the current situation, even if he survived, he would have to suffer severely.

He now only regretted not having dealt with the fool Zhang Rong sooner.

"Now that there is a disaster in Jiangnan, if you can effectively aid in disaster relief, I can spare your life and will not report your misconduct to the emperor,"

Yan Lin casually began.

Hearing this, many people looked up at him.

Yan Lian’s face was filled with displeasure.

This scum is not worth sparing; why does my eighth brother give him a chance!

But the decision made by his eighth brother was not something he could influence.

So Yan Lian could only suppress his frustration and silently stand by the side.

Li Shang was overjoyed inside and quickly kowtowed, "Prince, I will definitely find a way to complete the task you have given and save all the people of Jiangnan."

Although over the past two months, he had ignored the people’s pleas to find a way to alleviate the disaster.

But he felt that as long as he took action, it should not be hard to resolve.

"Arrange a courtyard for us. We’ll be staying at the Li Residence for a few days," Yan Lin continued in a subdued voice.

"Yes, yes, Prince."

Li Shang did not dare utter a single word of refusal; he nodded frantically.

"Are you not hurrying to arrange a courtyard for the Prince and the Princess!" he shouted angrily at Wang Lanyue.

"Yes, yes, master."

Wang Lanyue seemed quite frightened of him, and hearing his words, she quickly scurried to arrange the courtyard.

"Magistrate Li is seriously injured. He had better hurry up and get treated."

Yan Lin glanced casually at Li Shang’s wound before speaking lightly.

"Thank, thank you, Eighth Prince, for your concern."

Li Shang was sure that Yan Lin was no longer holding his actions against him, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

He stumbled to his feet, ready to find the house doctor to treat his wound.

But suddenly at that moment, Yan Lin called out to him again.

"Hold on, Magistrate Li, how do you think Zhang Rong should be dealt with?"

"Zhang Rong deliberately harmed others, kidnapped women and children, and defied his superiors. He falsely accused a court official and should be executed."

Li Shang was certain that Yan Lin would no longer threaten his life, so he calmly suggested a way to deal with Zhang Rong.

As long as Zhang Rong died, his remaining secrets would not be discovered.

"Good, then execute Zhang Rong," Yan Lin stated expressionlessly.

"Prince, spare my life, I admit my faults, I truly admit my faults,"

Zhang Rong pleaded frantically.

But Ziyi had already come to drag him and his men away.

"Then, two princes, princess, I will go to get treated," Li Shang said hesitantly, as his wound was excruciatingly painful.

"Hmm, go ahead."

Yan Lin’s expression remained calm throughout, showing he truly did not intend to pursue Li Shang’s responsibility any further.

"Jiaoqing, take good care of the Prince and the Princess."

After dropping that line, Li Shang staggered off to find the house doctor.

"Prince, earlier we were unaware of your identity and caused offense. Please do not hold it against us,"

During this time, Li Jiaoqing also slowly approached, speaking softly and looking extraordinarily remorseful.

Her appearance was indeed good, and her voice was as dainty as her name suggested.

Perhaps any other man would feel pity for her, but unfortunately, she was facing Yan Lin.

Yan Lin remained unmoved, not even sparing her a glance.

She directly ordered Ziwu, "Go back to the inn now and bring the two little ones here."

"Yes, my lord."

At this time, Wang Lanyue hurried over with others, "Prince, Princess, the courtyard in the residence has been cleared."

"Good, we are weary from traveling and need to rest; you may go about your business."

Yan Lin said this in a calm voice, then slowly rose.

Although Yan Lian was feeling melancholic, he silently followed.

On this side, Yan Chen was still standing here.

His guard couldn’t help but ask, "Prince, where shall we go now?"

"Since the Princess and the eighth brother are staying at the Li Residence, naturally, we will stay as well."

Yan Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression calm.

"Prince, what does the eighth prince mean? Magistrate Li has made such a big mistake, and yet he still wants the other party to make amends. Could it be that this Magistrate Li is very capable and can really solve the disaster issue?"

The guard, unable to restrain himself, asked another question.

Upon hearing this, Yan Chen scoffed.

"Just a useless man, what capability do you expect him to have?"

"Then the eighth prince’s action..."

"Years ago, the choice for Jiangnan Prefecture was recommended by the Crown Prince," Yan Chen continued.

Upon hearing this, the guard’s eyes subtly changed.

"I understand, Magistrate Li is the Crown Prince’s man. It seems that the eighth prince’s action is out of fear of offending the Crown Prince," he murmured softly.

However, upon hearing this, the scorn on Yan Chen’s face deepened.

"Afraid of offending the Crown Prince? The eighth brother even dares to defy the Emperor’s orders, how could he possibly be afraid of offending the Crown Prince."

The guard, upon hearing this, nodded as if he understood yet didn’t.

Indeed, after so many years of doing unorthodox things, the eighth prince might really not be afraid of the Crown Prince.

"But, but what is his purpose then?" the guard continued to ask, not understanding.

"To topple a mighty enemy, it’s difficult to start with the enemy itself, but much easier to start with the fools by his side."

Yan Chen sneered coldly, then spoke with deep meaning.

It was at this moment that the guard fully grasped the situation.

"I understand, the eighth prince intends to use Magistrate Li to deal with the Crown Prince," he exclaimed in surprise.

In the end, he couldn’t help but ask further, "Then Prince, what should we do?"

"We do nothing. The more fiercely the Crown Prince and the eighth brother fight, the better it is for us."

Yan Chen spoke calmly.

"Good, I understand," replied the guard.

Yan Chen watched as Yan Lin and Chu Baihan walked away, his eyes flickering with a hint of sharpness.

He could understand many things, but one thing alone—

when had the relationship between the eighth brother and Nan Baihan become so good?

Could it be that there was something he did not know of?

"Chen Prince, this humble girl..."

Li Jiaoqing, ignored by Yan Lin, looked somewhat embarrassed.

Turning around and seeing Yan Chen still there, she quickly approached, hoping to make her presence felt.

"Miss Li from the Li Family, right? You were startled earlier," Yan Chen curled his lips slightly, speaking kindly to her.

Li Jiaoqing, already unsettled from earlier events, suddenly heard these kind words and immediately felt reassured; her cheeks flushed red.

"This humble girl is alright, thank you, Chen Prince, for your concern."

"This prince will be residing at the Li Residence for the coming days; thank you for your trouble, Miss Li," said Yan Chen softly.

After finishing his words, he walked past her.

Li Jiaoqing stood in place, her heart racing.

Chen Prince is really gentle.

But what she didn’t know was that after Yan Chen walked away, his facial expression instantly turned cold, and his eyes lost all warmth.
