Chapter 167: Dying Words, He Told Me to Protect You Completely

Li Chengxiang hid in the room, initially terrified, but eventually just exhausted and fell asleep.

When she awoke, it was already broad daylight outside.

Upon awakening, she found that Li Chengyuan had not returned all night, and her father was anxiously pacing in the courtyard.

Li Chengxiang wanted to ask but did not dare.

She did not want to get beaten again.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Li Chengyuan returned looking utterly exhausted.

Upon seeing her return, Lord Li quickly approached to inquire.

Li Chengyuan gave a rough account of the previous night's events and mentioned that the Seventh Prince was going to lead troops into battle. Lord Li's scalp went numb, and he felt his vision darken.

Seeing Lord Li's condition, Li Chengyuan hurriedly comforted him, saying all this was the Emperor's way of training the Seventh Prince. Only then did Lord Li's complexion somewhat improve.
