The two Vassal Kings, their standings are immediately apparent.
Prince Wu'an, full of resentment, left the palace with anger etched on his face. Prince Huaiyang, in contrast, bore no resentment. On the contrary, he knelt with gratitude, awaiting an audience.
Chen Sheren thought to herself, no wonder the Emperor specifically instructed her to come and watch, it seemed he had anticipated this would happen.
"Please wait a moment, I will go and report."
Prince Huaiyang knelt obediently.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chen Sheren came back out: "Please, Prince Huaiyang, follow me to see the Emperor."
Prince Huaiyang immediately said: "From today onwards, I am no longer a Vassal King. Chen Sheren, you may simply address me as Jiang Quan."
Chen Jinyu was quite impressed, secretly admiring him once again. This Prince Huaiyang, finding a way to survive in such a desperate situation, indeed had exceptional qualities.
