He had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and even if he were stupid, he would have realized what was going on by now.

He came to Qin as a hostage! Everything Lu Li said was just to deceive him and his father.

But now he has entered Qin and become fish on their chopping board.

Otherwise, why hasn't Ying Zheng seen him after seven days? It's clear that he doesn't care about him, which is why he's acting this way!

Just as he was lost in thought, someone from the post station arrived; a palace eunuch came to deliver an imperial decree.

"Summon Crown Prince Dan of Yan to the palace for an audience!"

Ji Dan raised an eyebrow. Ying Zheng wanted to see him? But he had already figured it out; they were no longer brothers who had gone through thick and thin together.

Ying Zheng was the king of Qin, while he was the crown prince of Yan. The two had become two parallel lines that could never intersect.

Prince Dan followed the eunuch to Xianyang Palace, his heart filled with trepidation the whole way.

Upon seeing Ying Zheng, Crown Prince Dan knelt on the ground and performed a grand ceremony.

"Prince Ji Dan of Yan greets King Qin!"

It should be noted that when Lu Li went to the Yan Kingdom, he only bowed. Now, Ji Dan actually performed a full kneeling ceremony, causing Ying Zheng to frown.

"Brother Dan, why are you bowing so deeply?"

Unexpectedly, Ji Dan spoke directly, saying, "You are the King of Qin, and I am the Crown Prince of Yan. I should perform the royal rites!"

Ji Dan's words were clearly a veiled criticism of Ying Zheng, implying that he had forgotten their past friendship.

Ying Zheng originally wanted to step forward and personally help Crown Prince Dan up, but after hearing his words, his body, which was suspended in mid-air, slowly sat down again.

"Rise!"
