"What else is there to talk about It's all just about how to deal with this palace."

Li Chen said faintly, "This time, Zhao Xuanji is desperate."

"Increase surveillance. I want to know who they met and what they did these past few days."

Chen Tong immediately bowed and said, "This subordinate will obey your orders."

As soon as Chen Tong left, He Kun came to Li Chen's side.

"Your Highness, just now, three officials came to present a sum of money as a gift. Would you like to have a look" He Kun asked.

Li Chen shook his head and said, "You figure it out yourself. This palace is too busy to go through each account one by one."

He Kun's eyes rolled, and he said, "Your Highness, could you grant me the power to act according to circumstances I am confident that I can increase the total amount of the gift money by at least 30%."

Li Chen was taken aback and smiled faintly, "You're handing the butcher knife to your comrades' heads. Aren't you afraid they'll secretly sabotage you"

He Kun smiled with an innocent look: “With Your Highness as my support, I’m not afraid of anything. Besides, I’m confident that we can get them to willingly hand it over.”

"Alright, go and do it."

Li Chen waved his hand, not caring.

To have others do things, one naturally needs to provide them with conveniences and conditions. Otherwise, they'll be hampered in their work and unable to perform well.

When He Kun first arrived at the Eastern Palace to work, he never volunteered anything without being certain. Since he was now confident, Li Chen, who was running out of money and worried sick about it, was naturally delighted.

He Kun respectfully replied and then withdrew from the Xizheng Hall. As soon as he turned around, he became arrogant again.

After a moment's thought, he came to a side hall.

Three officials who had just delivered a gift of money were anxiously waiting inside.

"My lords, I apologize for the delay."

As soon as He Kun stepped through the door, he immediately bowed and smiled.

"What a hard day's work for Lord He."

The three of them didn't dare to put on airs in front of He Kun, the newly appointed crown prince, and each wore a smile.

They wanted to ask the Crown Prince if he was satisfied with the gift they had given him, but they were too embarrassed to ask directly. So they beat around the bush, trying to find out indirectly.

He Kun chatted with them for a while, and after a while, seeing that their appetites had been whetted enough, he stopped the conversation and suddenly sighed.

Such a sigh made the three people even more uneasy.

"Master He, why are you sighing Could it be that Your Highness is not satisfied with the gifts we have prepared" asked a middle-aged official.

He Kun shook his head and said, "That's not true. I just feel sorry for the three adults."

This statement is vague, leaving the three of us even more confused and uneasy. "Master He, if we have done anything wrong, please be frank with us. If this leads to displeasing the Prince, we would face a thousand deaths and it would be impossible to atone. We beg you, Master He, to guide us. We will forever remember your kindness and grace."

Seeing these three so quick to flatter him, He Kun's expression immediately tightened, and he said in a serious tone: "You three, let me be clear. You saw that I presented gifts today, acted as the ones to lead the way, and as a result, His Highness was very pleased and even bestowed upon me the title of East Palace Attendant. That's why you're all so eager to offer your gifts, isn't it"

The three of them looked at each other, their faces a little awkward, but none of them refuted it.

Obviously, He Kun was right.

He Kun smiled faintly and said, "It's human nature. I believe that more people will come to offer gifts soon. But think about it, in this kind of situation, the first one to do it is always the easiest to be remembered by His Highness, or the one who sends the most valuable gift. Otherwise, with so many other people, how could His Highness remember you"e a crisp reply and stepped back.Soon, Xu Junlou rushed to the Xizheng Hall and knelt down to pay his respects."Your humble servant, Xu Junlou, greets His Royal Highness the Prince.""Hmm."Li Chen snor...
