Meng Po pondered for a moment, then said: "This arrangement seems quite appropriate."

"Not appropriate."

The Saintess suddenly spoke, drawing the attention of everyone present.

The Holy Maiden whispered, “What we can think of, others can also think of. The assassination of the Crown Prince must be carried out with certainty.”

"If it doesn't work out, there will be almost no second chance, so we have to take risks."

Saying that, the Saintess pointed to a spot on the map and said, "I think this is the best location."

The others followed the direction pointed by the Saintess, and then their faces changed.

Meng Po said, "Holy Maiden, are you going to assassinate the Crown Prince at the East Palace gate"

“At the gate of the East Palace, they are most likely to let their guard down. No one would think we'd attack here.”

"The restaurant, though seemingly in a good location, is surrounded by many shops and people, making it prone to disorder."

Once chaos erupts, the Crown Prince will have an opportunity to escape.

"Most importantly, the gate of the East Palace is the farthest from the Dongchang. As long as the three treasures are secured, even if the guards inside the East Palace come over, they will not be able to affect our plan in a short time."

Meng Po said again: "But according to intelligence, the Three Treasures have been sent out by the prince. Although they are still in the capital, they are not with the prince."

"Prevention is better than cure."

The saint said plainly, "My mind is made up."

Meng Po and the others glanced at each other and respectfully said, "We obey the Holy Maiden's order."

......

The midday meal at the General's Mansion was quite delicious.

Most importantly, Li Chen and Su Zhenting both received a message from Su Pingbei before the meal.

Su Pingbei had already arrived in Liaodong with his army, which was fully assembled and, with the cooperation of the Xian Dynasty, had already formulated a battle plan.

The main force will cross the border on the second day of Chinese New Year, entering the territory of Xiandao, and begin attacking the armies of Toyo.

This good news opened Li Chen's appetite, and he ate two more bowls of rice.

Su Zhenting was also very pleased. Su Pingbei's plan for the operation was meticulously laid out with thoughtful strategies, and he had considered everything that needed to be considered.

Although both he and Li Chen knew that such an experienced battle plan couldn't have been devised by Su Pingbei alone, since it was presented, Su Pingbei deserved the credit.

"Having gone through such a grand occasion many times, among the young generation of generals in our mighty Qin, there are certainly outstanding figures."

Li Chen's words made Su Zhen Ting burst into laughter.

He had reached the end of his pursuit of power. All he wished for now was for his children to have a good future, to carry on the glory of the Su family.

More importantly, Su Zhenting saw Li Chen's ambition in Li Chen. If Li Chen ascended the throne one day, he would certainly not be content to be an emperor who brought peace and stability.

And once war broke out on the border, then the military's rise would be imminent, and his son, as long as he put in a little effort, would not be lacking in merit.

After a good meal and plenty to drink, it was getting late.

Li Chen got up and said, "There are still many things to do in the palace. This palace will go back first."

Knowing that Li Chen was still going to Qiany Qing Palace today to pray for the emperor's well-being, Su Zhen Ting didn't try to keep him. He got up and took Su Jin Pa with him to see Li Chen out to the front gate of the General's Mansion.

"Your Highness..."

Seeing Su Zhen'ting hesitate, Li Chen smiled and said, "General, feel free to speak your mind."

After a slight pause, Su Zhen'ting leaned closer to Li Chen's ear and whispered, "The Emperor's health is deteriorating day by day. Your Highness should prepare for some things and make arrangements in advance."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes and took a long, hard look at Su Zhen-Ting.

He knew that it wasn't until this moment, uttering these words, that Su Zhenting truly stood on his side, and not just because of the Great Emperor.der the bed and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me. It is my father who asked me to bring this message.""With that, Zhao Rui stood up and took out a sealed scroll. She held it high with both hand...
