Inside the painted boat, Emperor Wei and others noticed the belated arrival of Chen Yi, each with different expressions.
Especially Prince Zhenbei, Du Qing, who, if not for his deep scheming nature, surely wouldn't have maintained such a calm expression at this moment.
Yet, even so, a trace of wariness emerged in his eyes.
Throughout history, it has been said that great meritorious deeds might intimidate the ruler. Even though he is Prince Zhenbei, one of the three princes of different surnames in the Wei Dynasty, he is still overshadowed by the Wei Dynasty Royal Family.
However, the Duke Wuan, Marquis Taishan, and Duke Jingye, who guard Beixiong Pass, are under his command. If a Marquis under him gains influence in the Holy Emperor's heart, it naturally threatens him.
Particularly as Chen Yi, regardless of reputation or cultivation, has reached a zenith in the Holy Emperor's eyes, further provoking Prince Zhenbei's caution.
