Late at night, Li Fei returned to his Marquis Mansion.
After today's grand meeting at court, the Crown Prince invited him alone to the Eastern Palace, and they talked about many things.
They talked about the past, the war in the Northern Territory, and the future.
During the conversation, the Crown Prince's attitude towards him was as warm as before, unchanged by his newfound authority, still approachable, and without any airs.
"You can handle your master mother's case as you see fit; I'll have your back!"
In the end, the Crown Prince said this to Li Fei.
With such a promise, Li Fei returned to the Marquis Mansion, yet his mood was somewhat heavy.
It wasn't that he found the Crown Prince untrustworthy, he was just somber about the Emperor's health condition.
After Qi Zhou's betrayal, Li Fei initially thought the Emperor's trust in him might be shaken.
After all, Qi Zhou had been with the Emperor for longer, had been favored and trusted greatly.
