His eyes shifted, "Prince Chen."
The consistently neglected and seemingly nonexistent Xiao Jinxing was suddenly being addressed.
"Present." Xiao Jinxing answered respectfully.
He had long been aware of what Xiao Zhanping's charade was intended for.
"From your childhood, due to your frail body and chronic leg ailment, I never contemplated involving you in court politics. However, with few heirs of my own, the Crown Prince must stay by my side to guard our realm, the Prince of Chu is dispatched to the border to quell the turmoil, and Prince Yu is still too young. Thus, I have no choice but to delegate the mission to Yuzhou to you. Are you willing to accept it?!"
Xiao Zhanping's rare amiable demeanor.
Probably because of his overt partiality towards Xiao Jinsen, he felt somewhat guilty toward Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing did not answer immediately.
Sometimes consenting too hastily does not earn favor, but instead, arouses suspicion.
