Meanwhile, within Dongli Palace, Prince Cheng and others were still waiting for the response of the Eastern Fence King.
The latter had already received instructions from Luo Qingtong and immediately feigned agreement, voicing his indignation: "Of course!"
"You Princes might not be aware of how arrogant the Luo Family is! Especially that Luo Qingtong, so arrogant and presumptuous, she wasted Dongli’s Three Armies and didn’t take me, the Eastern Fence King, seriously at all!"
"Had it not been for the sake of the Imperial Family, I would have flattened the Luo Family long ago!"
The Eastern Fence King spoke with both ferocity and bite. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Prince Cheng and the others were fully aware of his intentions towards the Luo Family.
They knew even more so that he had tried to harm the Luo Family before, but was rebuffed by Luo Qingtong.
Hearing this, they nodded in agreement: "Good, since that’s the case..."
Before he could finish his words, the Eastern Fence King’s tone abruptly shifted.
"However, Princes, this matter is no small affair. Luo Qingtong’s status is that of the future Fifth Prince Consort of the Empire! You want me to do this, and I am naturally more than willing. But..."
"You have to give me an Imperial insignia to prove that this matter is ordered by the Imperial Family! Otherwise, I cannot bear the wrath of the Fifth Prince! I wouldn’t dare to handle this matter without such assurance!"
Clearly, what the Eastern Fence King meant was that he was afraid of becoming the scapegoat.
Upon hearing this, Prince Cheng and the others had no suspicion of deceit.
"Alright." An Emperor-level elder standing behind Prince Cheng said: "This is our Imperial Family’s Coiled Dragon Jade Pendant, which can only be worn by core members of the direct lineage. There are no more than twelve in the entire Imperial Family! Each one symbolizes absolute authority! With it, no one will dare to question that this is not a command from our Imperial Family."
As he spoke, he handed over the jade pendant he held in his hand.
The Eastern Fence King hastened to accept it and responded eagerly: "Good! Rest assured, Princes, I shall handle this matter with diligence and care."
"Mhm." The Emperor-level elder voiced a low affirmation and then closed his eyes, pretending to rest and no longer spoke.
