"As long as Mr. Meng meets with Prince Chu, then Prince Chu will receive the respect of scholars from all over the world. At that time, the Crown Prince and Prince Dai..." Minister Li's eldest son stopped mid-sentence, but his smug expression said it all.
"For now, we'll pretend to know nothing." Minister Li spoke with ease, "Whatever the Emperor instructs us to do in hosting Mr. Meng, we shall do exactly that and nothing more."
"Father is right."
At this moment, Lv Cong had already returned to the Eastern Palace and reported verbatim to the Crown Prince what Minister Li had told him.
Upon hearing it, the Crown Prince flew into a rage. He found it hard to accept, of course. He did not dare to speak ill of Mr. Meng and could only vent his anger at Minister Li, accusing him of sabotaging, spreading false words from Mr. Meng. He even said that Minister Li must not have delivered his visiting card and writings to Mr. Meng.
