Gong Changan silently used his sleeves to wipe the sweat off of his head and answered with trepidation, “Y-your Highness, you’ve read about two weeks of memorials over the last two days, so there’s still a-about two more weeks…”

After hearing that, the crown prince’s expression instantly darkened, causing Gong Changan to hastily kneel on the ground, not daring to utter another word.

“The king is spending his days quite peacefully,” the crown prince murmured calmly.

He left behind a pile of matters for him to deal with while he himself dashed to Mt. Hong to have fun!

Gong Changan wiped his sweat and stuttered, “Y-your Highness, this old servant was about to report a matter. On the way to the palace at Mt. Hong, the king’s group was ambushed by two zombies and Noble Lady He fainted on the spot.”

Only two? Didn’t he order the Hidden Pavilion to throw a few more there and give some entertainment to the king? They weren’t reliable at all!

If the king knew his rotten son’s thoughts, perhaps he would charge over to choke him to death!

“Your Highness, d-do you want to send more people to Mt. Hong to protect His Majesty?” Gong Changan asked cautiously.

“The king took 3000 royal guards with him, so the entire royal guard battalion is empty right now! Moreover, the South Battalion has to head to Qinghe Town as support, what manpower do We have to do that?” The crown prince looked up and sent Gong Changan an icy glance. “How about We form a eunuch battalion for you and you will lead the king’s rescue expedition?”

‘Pft…’

Xiao’xi’zi quickly covered his mouth.

‘I can’t. Isn’t Your Highness the Crown Prince’s joke too cold? I can’t take it!’

Gong Changan quickly closed his mouth. ‘This old servant doesn’t want to lead a bunch of weakling eunuchs and head to Mt. Hong to meet death…’

“This old servant will excuse himself now.” When Gong Changan left the Eastern Palace and met the arriving Huifeng, he wanted to cry.

However, Huifeng did not understand Gong Changan’s miserable expression and swiftly entered the study. “Your Highness, there’s news from the Night Pavilion. Xijiu City has issued a mission summoning order and assembled many mystic cultivators and body cultivators to accompany members of the three sects to head to Qinghe Town for training.”

“If our information is accurate, then they have already headed for Qinghe Town this morning,” Huifeng continued. “The 500 people from the North Battalion are all trapped in Qinghe Town, but in the three sects’ group, besides the mystic cultivators, there’s a combination of body cultivators and superhumans, so their fighting strength should be stronger than the North Battalion’s.”

The crown prince was calm and nodded as he listened to the news. ‘Good, as long as Xijiu City is fine and doesn’t affect his little girl. As for the rest, the so-and-so three sects and the so-and-so City Lord’s summoning order, they can do whatever they want.’

“Since the three sects are interfering in the matter of Qinghe Town…” the crown prince trailed off with a wrinkle of his brows and reached into his lapels to dig out the jade messenger talisman.

A touch of his fingers and row after row of small characters surfaced on the jade talisman.

“Dear Crown Prince, this subordinate is currently secretly following Little Miss toward Qinghe Town! Little Miss is participating in the three sects’ training. The group composes of 60 people, and we’ve just arrived at the town’s entrance. This subordinate is about to follow Little Miss inside, so this subordinate will be temporarily out of contact…”

The crown prince shot up from his chair. His gentle expression had disappeared without a trace, and a serious and icy expression replaced it.

He suddenly felt panic rise, as though something bad was about to happen.

“Has Little Seven returned yet?”

“Your Highness, it will probably take Seventh Yan two more days to return.”

“Prepare my horse.” The crown prince immediately walked outside with large steps.

Huifeng swiftly followed to dissuade him, “Your Highness, even if you head there at top speed and take shortcuts, it’ll still take four or five days. Why don’t you have Seventh Yan hurry and come back instead?”

The crown prince halted. “Right. Hurry and send a message to Little Seven.”
