Chen Ji stepped out from the end of the line, passing by the Yulin Army, Chen Liqin, Li Xuan, and the Crown Prince, looking straight ahead. Everyone's eyes followed him as he slowly walked towards the brightly lit Renshou Palace.
An official from Honglu Temple looked at the Crown Prince, Junior Scholar, and Yulin Army Commander still waiting for orders outside the palace, then at the back of Chen Ji, his eyes filled with confusion, but he could only suppress it silently.
In front of Renshou Palace stood the "Filial Piety and Brotherly Love Stele", with the first line of the inscription: Filial piety and brotherly love are the foundation of benevolence.
Chen Ji's gaze swept over the inscription, not in the mood to read further.
Just before stepping into the palace gate.
A middle-aged man in a Python Robe at the gate calmly said, "Answer whatever His Majesty asks you, do not act on your own, and do not deceive the Emperor."
