The Crown Prince's heart stirred, and he looked deeply at Zheng Chen: "That's indeed a good idea."
Zheng Chen whispered, "This matter should not be rushed. We can proceed gradually. This Da Liang, sooner or later, will belong to Your Highness. Once you truly hold power, who can stop you from doing what you wish?"
The young and spirited Crown Prince found these words very agreeable, and finally smiled: "You're right, I am still young and have plenty of time."
Zheng Chen cupped his hands, speaking earnestly, "I am willing to serve Your Highness with all my might!"
The Crown Prince smiled happily: "We've grown up together, our bond is like brothers. In the future, I will never treat you poorly." He paused for a moment and whispered, "Now, I have to rely on Prime Minister Wang for court matters, so I must show some favor to Wang the Fourth. It's just for the outsiders to see. In my heart, you are always the closest and most trustworthy."
