Dou Huaishan laughed heartily, "Sixth Prince, you are finally willing to tell the truth, so when you come here today, you are not only under the order of the prince, but also the order of the emperor!"
Li Chen sighed, "Since the Marquis has already understood everything, Li Chen really has nothing to hide. My father's intention is to let the Marquis enter the palace, even if he brings troops."
"So the sixth prince is really doing things for the emperor." Dou Huaishan said with a smile.
"It's just to save his life." Li Chen said with a wry smile, "Father already knows about the matter between me and the prince. The prince can't go back, but that doesn't mean I can't go back."
"You have contributed a lot to the fact that the prince has reached this point. If the prince knew that you betrayed him, what would he think?" Dou Huaishan said with a smile.
"No, the prince has reached this point because of himself, because he couldn't wait any longer!" Li Chen said, "Besides, isn't the Marquis' credit for all this?"
Dou Huaishan laughed and said, "Indeed, if he has no intention, no one can instigate him. Even without you and me, he will take this step sooner or later. But it is a fact that you betrayed the prince. Since you are working for the emperor now, then Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you?”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Chen with narrowed eyes.
"Li Chen has confessed to the Marquis. If the Marquis really wants to kill me, Li Chen will have no choice but to accept his fate." Li Chen said calmly.
Dou Huaishan laughed and said, "Indeed, the Sixth Prince is so frank with me. If I kill the Sixth Prince, wouldn't it be a joke? I was just joking with the Sixth Prince."
He paused, then smiled and said, "Among the princes I have watched, the Sixth Prince is definitely a talent. The Sixth Prince's ability to get people from both sides, no, it should be said to be from all directions, is really eye-opening for me, no matter who becomes who. Even if he is defeated, the Sixth Prince can protect himself and even become a meritorious minister."
"Why does the Marquis make fun of Li Chen? Although Li Chen is a prince, his status in the palace is that of a servant. He is also forced by the situation to seek some ability to protect himself." Li Chen said.
Dou Huaishan nodded, "I understand the position of the sixth prince in the palace, but I still want to ask, who are the six princes choosing to be loyal to?"
"The Marquis has already said that I am here to protect myself, so of course my allegiance is to me!" Li Chen said.
Dou Huaishan laughed again, "Okay, I just like people who are for me!"
"Master Marquis, the prince is here to invite you, will you go or not?" Li Chen asked.
"Then do you think I should go or not?" Dou Huaishan asked with a smile.
"Actually, I think the Marquis should go and take the Seventh Princess with him!" Li Chen said, "Didn't the Marquis say that he is not afraid of the prince? He is only worried about my father, who dotes on him the most. Seventh Princess, with the Seventh Princess in hand, my father will not dare to act rashly against the Marquis. Of course, if the Marquis is still worried, he can also bring Li Qian's family with him. Even if Li Qian comes back, everything will be safe. I think the Marquis also planned this, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to personally invite the Seventh Princess and Li Qian’s family.”
"The Sixth Prince has really spoken to my heart. Even if I don't have the prince to invite me to this trip to the palace, I still have to go!" Dou Huaishan said with a smile, "However, even if I want to go to the palace, I still have to go." Wait for Li Qian to come back."
"Why is this?" Li Chen asked, "With Li Qian away, the Marquis would be better off. Besides, the imperial army will be back soon. If the Marquis waits any longer, he will really miss a good opportunity."
Dou Huaishan chuckled and said, "In my opinion, any time is a good opportunity and there is no chance of it being missed."
Li Chen pondered for a moment, "Master Hou, you said before that someone would do something for you. Who is this person referring to?"
"Of course I am referring to Li Qian!" Dou Huaishan said with a smile, "With his family in hand, how can he not listen to me?"
"The first thing I asked him to do was to take the emperor's head!"
Li Chen was shocked.
