The entire funeral was simple and efficient.

When the stele was completed, hundreds of Jinyiwei present, more than half of them had tears in their eyes.

Chen Tong wasn't feeling much better either. He walked over to Wan Jiajiao and said, "Miss Wan, the departed have passed on. Please accept my condolences."

Wan Jiaojiao wiped away a tear and said, "Thank you, Commander Chen, for taking care of my father's funeral arrangements."

Chen Tong said in a low voice, "The factory owner was kind to all of us before his death. I personally received many favors from the factory owner. Now that the factory owner has passed away and died for the country, how can we not do our best"

"In times like these, a funeral can only be simple. I hope that the departed factory owner's spirit will not blame us."

Wàn Jiāojiāo trembled as she said, "My father could see this scene now, even if he's in the underworld, he would be smiling."

Nodding, Chen Tong turned his head to glance at the tombstone engraved with the imperial seal of the Crown Prince of the Great Qin Empire. "Your Highness is so considerate of your subordinates," he said, "We would die for Your Highness without regret."

Although Wan Jiaojiao felt a thousand reluctance in her heart, as soon as she heard that it might delay serving the prince, she immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back."

Before leaving, Wan Jiaojiao knelt on the ground again, respectfully kowtowed once, then got up and staggered onto the carriage, returning to the palace.

In the East Palace's Hall of Administration, Li Chen rubbed his temples, feeling a headache that intensified after his outing today. His nose felt congested, making breathing difficult and uncomfortable.

Although he thought about his interaction with Zhao Xuange today, and all the intended goals were achieved, Li Chen was still in a good mood.

"Your Highness, it's time for your medicine."

With Wan Jiaojiao absent, He Kun took over the role of serving tea and water for Li Chen. He respectfully presented a bowl of medicine personally brewed by Zhang Hezhi to Li Chen, and thoughtfully brought a stack of pastries to help alleviate the bitterness of the herbal medicine.

Li Chen finished the medicine and ate a piece of date paste cake, smiling at He Kun: "You are quite thoughtful."

He Kun smiled humbly and said, "Serving Your Highness is a great honor, and naturally I should consider everything."

"Well, not bad."

Li Chen glanced at He Kun and said, "You've been serving in the Eastern Palace for several months now. This palace intends to let you go out. Which position do you think suits you"

He Kun was overjoyed when he heard this, but on his face, he put on an expression of shock and sadness. He hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Highness, your humble servant wishes to accompany you at all times, your humble servant will not go anywhere else."

"Put on a little less of an act."

Li Chen said with a displeased tone, “This palace has a terrible headache today and is too lazy to listen to your spiel. Are you content being just a Palace Attendant Fine then, if you truly like it, spend your whole life as one, and don't go anywhere else.”

He Kun's intelligence lies in knowing when to feign ignorance and when to be honest.

Upon hearing Li Chen's words, He Kun chuckled and said, "Your Highness, wherever you send me is a great honor. I will do my best to complete the task assigned by Your Highness."

Opportunity knocks, seize it when it comes. But to truly consider yourself a dish, deciding your own fate – that's just plain foolish.

He Kun's reaction was no surprise to Li Chen.

Rubbing his temples, Li Chen leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes lightly, saying nonchalantly, "The court has dealt with a large number of officials this time. Beheadings have been going on nonstop, so there are many vacant positions." said, "It's nothing. It's perfectly normal for men and women to fall in love. I also hope that you get along well with each other, so that this marriage would be considered a win-win situation."After...
