Li Chen's arrival caused a large number of the Jinyiwei guards near the side hall to kneel down.

On the roof, Gong Huiyu glanced at Li Chen, then turned and disappeared in an instant like a teleport.

This woman is still cold and aloof, not approachable at all. She avoids contact with Li Chen whenever possible, and Li Chen doesn't mind.

Boiling a frog in warm water, slowly simmering it, there's always a chance.

But the three treasures at the door weren't as pretentious. When they saw Li Chen coming with Wan Jiaojiao, they immediately got up to greet him.

"I greet Your Highness, Prince."

Waving his hand to have Sān Bǎo get up, Lǐ Chén said: "This palace will go and see Yēlǜ Gǔzànqí. Has his letter been sent out"

"The Three Treasures respectfully said: 'I have already sent someone out, but it was he who requested one of his two bodyguards to arrange it. In obedience to Your Highness's orders, I did not stop him.'"

The Liao Kingdom naturally has informants and channels placed in the capital city. They would only believe information that came through their own channels; these are just minor details.

As he spoke, Li Chen had already stepped into the side hall.

Although it's a side hall, the decoration and furnishings are not inferior. The room is spacious and has all the necessary furniture.

Li Chen stepped inside and saw the complete meal on the table, untouched, and Yelu Guzanqi sitting in his chair.

Their eyes met. Yelü Guzanqi's face was stern, and he didn't give any good looks.

"Well then, Your Highness, doesn't the East Palace cuisine suit your palate"

He glanced at the untouched meal. It was just plain food, not luxurious or fancy, but it would definitely fill his stomach.

Li Chen himself ate ordinary three dishes and one soup every day. For Yelu Guguzhan, a captive, there would naturally be no special treatment.

Ye Lu Gu Zan Qi sneered coldly, without paying any attention to Li Chen.

Li Chen wasn't annoyed. He walked into the room with his hands behind his back, turned to Wan Jiaojiao and said: "Take these dishes away and tell them outside that King Nine has amazing stamina and can withstand hunger the best. From now on, send him one meal a day, just some coarse grain steamed buns each time."

Wàn Jiāojiāo pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, replying, “This servant understands.”

And when Yelu Guguzhi heard this, he was greatly enraged.

"The prince of Qin, is this how your Qin treats guests!"

"Guest"

"I've treated you to good food and drink, but if you don't want it yourself, then just don't eat it. The grain of my great Qin empire won't be feeding a foreign dog like you."

These words were truly hurtful, especially to someone as proud and arrogant as Yelu Guzanqi. He flared up in anger and shouted, "You dare insult this king!"

"At this point, stop acting like a prince."

Li Chen sat down majestically beside the table, looking at Yelü Guzan and smiling. "Don't keep dwelling on how invincible your Khitan cavalry is, their unmatched strength. My Qin warriors, each and every one, are mere chickens! All those things are useless to you right now, and will even lead you to misjudge the situation."

"To put it plainly, a prince of your Liao Dynasty ending up in the hands of this great Qin's prince is like a fallen phoenix being worse than a chicken. To gain some benefits, I can indeed spare your life for now. As long as your Liao Kingdom delivers what's promised, I will let you go. However, whether you spend this time comfortably or dreadfully depends entirely on yourself."

In short, don't flaunt your power in front of the King of Qin. I'm getting tired of it, and if you keep it up, you'll be drinking slop every day.
