A person is not grass or wood, how can they be without feelings.

Although Dantai Jingzhi has many disciples, he truly pours his heart and soul into each disciple who enters his sect.

For someone dedicated to educating the world, he would certainly not withhold anything from his disciples.

So at this moment, Dantai Jingzhi's heart was also not feeling well.

But he did not blame Li Chen.

For he knew well, thus, at least it gave Hou Yushu a dignified death.

Even if Li Chen didn't kill him today, he wouldn't kill him himself. However, the Su family would definitely not let Hou Yushu go.

Do not underestimate the military god's son, Su Zhenting, just because he rarely speaks in court.

Su Zhen's ruthlessness is hidden deeper than Zhao Xuanji's.

How could someone so agreeable possibly hold military power

It would be even more unlikely for the emperor to entrust such a position to the crown prince as a trump card against Zhao Xuanji.

And Su Zhenting would absolutely not tolerate Hou Yushu living.

Every day he lived was a day the Su family became the laughingstock of civil and military officials, which was something the God of War family absolutely couldn't tolerate.

Therefore, the crown prince wanted to kill Hou Yushu to appease the Su family.

While killing Hou Yushu himself, he did it to leave him with a shred of dignity in the end.

This is already the best result.

Having figured these things out, Dantai Jingzhi bowed to Li Chen and said, "Your Highness, is this how the old minister should handle it"

"Properly."

Li Chen nodded and said in a gentle voice, "One Hou Yushu doesn't prove anything, nor can it change the fact that Mr. Jingzhi has many outstanding disciples. This palace believes that Mr. Jingzhi's disciples are all extraordinary people, while this Hou Yushu is just his own corrupt character. It's no wonder he blames Mr. Jingzhi."

What he's saying is that the prince has both the inside information and wants to appear honorable.

Dantai Jing let out a wry smile, but still cooperated politely: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

Li Chen turned around, facing the civil and military officials and the crowd of examinees. He said calmly: "In a few days, it will be the day when the Crown Princess enters the East Palace. On such a joyous occasion, this palace does not want to see any more discussions in the court. From today onwards, anyone who dares to speak ill of the Crown Princess, this palace will punish them severely, and Hou Yushou is your example!"

This menacing statement made everyone realize immediately that the Crown Prince before them was no pushover.

One by one, they fell silent and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, we obey..."

"Alright, court is adjourned. Today's imperial examinations are over. You candidates should all go back and await the announcement of results."

Li Chen finished speaking, and with a flick of his sleeve, he walked away.

Once Li Chen left, the morning court naturally dispersed.

The examinees, escorted by guards, left the palace. Meanwhile, the civil and military officials all had complicated thoughts as they prepared to return.

Zhao Xuance was just about to leave, but Su Zhen Ting's figure appeared before him.

Zhao Xuanji was taken aback for a moment, then bowed slightly and said politely, "General Su, is there something you need"

Although their stances differed, their positions were diametrically opposed. However, they were both cunning and experienced individuals, far from the impulsive youth who would resort to insults and scorn at first sight. Such behavior would only diminish them.

So, even with more blades and shadows lurking beneath the surface, on the surface, they still maintained civility towards each other.

Su Zhenting said faintly, "Lord, this general has something to say to you."

Looking at Su Zhenti's inscrutable face, Zhao Xuanji felt a surge of displeasure.

This old geezer couldn't possibly think that the one called Hou Yushu was his arrangement, could he

Before Zhao Xuance could ponder further, Su Zhen'ting continued, “Some things are too low and despicable. This incident is a one-time occurrence.
