"Your Excellency, this subordinate does not believe so."
In the courtyard, Bai Long sat beside a stone table eating a segment of orange, while Chen Ji stood not far away, hands clasped in greeting, his voice firm and unequivocal.
Bai Long spoke with interest: "Why don't you believe? The Crown Prince's arrival in Guyuan is precisely to gain leverage over the border army and force them to withdraw support from Prince Fu. Isn't Prince Fu allowed to strike back? Right after the Crown Prince arrived in Guyuan, Prince Fu sent his confidants to secretly conspire with the significant figures in the border army, aiming to provoke the Crown Prince into making a mistake. It's nearly an open battle, if at this time I were to side with Prince Fu, wouldn't that be an act of following a rising star?"
