The truth is simple, human hearts are complex.
Shen Yue couldn't help but admire Chen Dong's audacity when he heard that Chen Dong actually denied Zhao Ji.
To say such words, one must be prepared to be beheaded!
Who in this world would risk their life to face the truth? Hardly anyone.
Li Yan scolded, "How audacious, Chen Dong! With such language, do you no longer regard the Emperor at all!" Although he said this, a hint of pleasure flickered across Li Yan's eyes.
This was his usual tactic, also a way to shift the conflict; everyone was focusing on Chen Dong's "mistakes", couldn't his actions, Li Yan's, be minimized and trivialized?
Seeing that Li Yan's scheme seemed successful, Shen Yue still remained silent.
Li Yan still clung to his old tricks, but Shen Yue saw the indifference in Zhao Ji's demeanor.
If the current Zhao Ji still couldn't discern these tricks and continued in his own way, it would be but a lonely cycle.
