It took Zhao Zhuang Chen a moment to compose himself and Xi Ying could see that after he had come to know the purpose of his (Xi Ying) visit, Zhao Zhuang Chen's face didn't look that good.
It seemed that he really wanted him to be on his side.
Unfortunately, Xi Ying was not going to do that regardless of whatever Zhao Zhuang Chen did to impress him or change his thoughts because they just won't change.
In his eyes, Zhao Zhuang Chen was no different from Zhao Wang Lie and if he really helped Zhao Zhuang Chen take the throne after Zhao Wang Lei then there would be no meaning left behind this fight.
So he silently waited for Zhao Zhuang Chen's answer as the prince fought with his own internal conflicts and wishes.
"The investigation is still in the process, Prime Minister Xi. However, Benwang assures you that you will get to know about the results before the banquet."
Zhao Zhuang Chen answered Xi Ying with a polite smile on his lips.
