Chapter Thirty-Eight: Returning to the Capital



Looking at the troops behind the general, Eunuch Cheng showed no fear: "His Highness said he didn't want to see him. General Chen, do you even dare to disobey His Highness's orders?"

"Heh..." Chen Jin chuckled softly, "Your Highness has not attended court for over a month. His Majesty is worried about Your Highness's safety and ordered me to come to this residence today no matter what."
