Chapter 69

After finishing dealing with the people in the palace, Prince Cheng ordered the deputy commander to lead twenty thousand soldiers to guard the imperial palace. The remaining soldiers were to stay around the capital walls to prevent any unexpected events that might occur in the capital. As for the administration of the country, he waited for news from his uncle to send back first. Before this, he had his guards send pigeons to communicate back to the imperial palace that he had taken over the state of Zhan. Now, his duty was to maintain peace in the capital until the people his uncle had sent to govern the state of Zhan arrived.

Prince Cheng also ordered his soldiers to summon the city guard general to ask for more information about the Zhan State. Su Su, seeing that there was nothing she could do to help, asked her eldest brother for permission to go out and play in the capital instead.
