Chapter 953 You can tell me how

can be understood as the East Palace's small cabinet.Since the Crown Prince had no real power, they held little authority. They served as the first batch of his confidants when the Crown Prince ascend...Chapter 953 How Can You

"Since you know it's this King, dare you block this King's path" Li Yinhu asked in a deep voice.

Chen Tong smiled and said, "I wonder what brings the Prince Xingye to the inn"

Li Yinhu coldly said: "What I do and where I go, do I need your approval"

"Of course not."

Chen Tong said calmly, "But your Highness has issued a decree that the inn houses important guests. Every move they make affects the face and prestige of Qin. Therefore, no one is allowed to enter the inn without an order from the East Palace."

Another imperial decree from the Eastern Palace!

Li Yinhǔ felt a surge of anger and said coldly, "Chen Tong, this king will go in and speak with the guests for a few words and come out immediately. Don't block this king's way."

Chen Tong remained rooted to the spot, unmoving. He said, "If Your Highness insists on entering, please present a decree from the East Palace. Upon showing the decree, Your Highness may stay as long as you wish."

"I have no imperial decree!"

Li Yinhu was truly infuriating. Fuming, he said, "But this king must enter. Do you dare to stop me"

Hmph!

Two guards in embroidered uniforms immediately drew their swords behind Chen Tong.

The crisp sound of the blade cutting through the air echoed far into the cold night.

More chilling than the night itself is the palpable sense of danger in the air.

Behind Li Yinhu, two attendants immediately stepped forward to protect him.

"Chen Tong, how dare you point a sword at me, Your Majesty! This is a capital offense, do you know that!" Li Yinhu roared with anger.

Chen Tong waved his hand, signaling the two Jinyiwei behind him to sheathe their swords. He reprimanded them in a bland tone: "What are you two so nervous about The prince is a respectable man; he wouldn't barge in."

"With that, he smiled thinly and bowed to Li Yinhou, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive me. My men are ignorant and have offended you. When I return, I will definitely punish them severely."

The words sounded pleasant, but the expression and tone of voice betrayed a complete lack of sincerity, something even an ordinary person could tell.

Li Yinhu only felt anger surge through him, he glared at Chen Tong and said, "Are you going to let go or not"

A faint smile faded from Chen Tong's face as he said in a flat tone, "As I said before, Your Highness, please present the Imperial Edict from the East Palace. This official is only following orders. Without an edict, Your Highness should return."

"Your Highness, in this capital city, besides Lord Grand Councillor's mansion and your Zhao Wangfu, the rest of the places don't recognize you. They only recognize the East Palace."

This statement hits Li Yinhǔ where it hurts.

He glared at Chen Tong with icy fury, wishing he could rip him to shreds.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yinhǔ said: “Good, very good. Your Highness truly has a fine dog.”

After finishing his words, Li Yinhǔ flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

The moment he saw Chen Tong, he knew that the Dongchang was blocking him, and he absolutely couldn't get into this inn.

Since scaring won't work, it's better to leave sooner rather than later so as not to invite further ridicule.

Behind him, Chen Tong's voice rang out, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment."

Li Yinhu stumbled, the fire of anger within him reaching its peak.

He couldn't understand how there could be such shameless people in the world.

It's even more puzzling, how could he not have raised a dog with such loyalty

No, he has!

Chen Tong seemed to have remembered something. After he got on the carriage, he instructed the attendants outside, "Send word and tell Xu Wei to come see me immediately."

"Yes."

The outside attendants responded with a sound and immediately dashed away.

Li Yinhu lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at the inn and Chen Tong who was still guarding at the entrance of the inn. He let out a cold smile and muttered to himself: "An inn Is it that important You even have someone protect it so heavily. Fine, this king will burn it down for you. See what you can do about it."narling, "Demoness of the Bai Lian Sect!"Gong Huiyu raised an eyebrow slightly.It's been ages since anyone called her that.It's still so infuriating.Gong Huiyu's temperament was cold, truly as cold as...
