The moment Chen Qian appeared, the eldest princess's heart jumped. When Chen Qian suggested that he speak with her privately, her sense of unease grew stronger.

"It's right there in that corner, where everyone can see it. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you," Chen Qian said calmly.

The eldest princess's heart skipped a beat, and her pupils dilated suddenly. They knew?

Chen Qian gave the eldest princess a deep look, then turned and walked towards a corner not far away.

The eldest princess followed Chen Qian after all, wanting to find out and curious about what Chen Qian wanted to say to her.

"I'm only here to inform you that what you instructed your second uncle to do has been discovered. You'd better be careful from now on," Chen Qian said.

"I don't know what you're talking about," the eldest princess vehemently denied.

Chen Qian sighed and said helplessly, "Our soldiers have filmed the video. Your denial won't change the outcome. As long as they believe you are the murderer, that's enough."

The eldest princess's expression changed. "What do you mean by that? Are they going to attack me?"

"A life for a life, what makes you think you can get away with this?" Chen Qian looked at the eldest princess in surprise.

"They wouldn't dare!" the eldest princess exclaimed, disbelieving.

"You'd better take care of yourself." Chen Qian didn't want to say anything more to the eldest princess and turned to leave.

"Why are you telling me? Doesn't what you're doing count as betraying your commander?" The eldest princess's words were sharp, striking straight to Chen Qian's heart.

Chen Qian froze.

“Li Ze is dead, and you have another chance. You should thank me, shouldn’t you?” the eldest princess said again. “So, you came to inform me out of gratitude?”

"No," Chen Qian blurted out, and strode away.

Li Ze's death brought Chen Qian no joy; instead, he felt sorrow for the young man. But that was all he felt. He didn't want He Xingjue to embark on a path of no return, or even lose his own life, because of revenge.
