Li Ji raised an eyebrow. "Bowing so formally to me already? How clever. I do appreciate clever people."
Sang Zhong was on the verge of tears from anxiety.
"I belong to the Crown Prince! I can't go with you, Prince Zhao!"
Li Ji was even more pleased. "So, a loyal servant after all. I just love using fiercely loyal people like you."
Sang Zhong was indeed fiercely loyal to the Crown Prince. Otherwise, the Crown Prince would never have entrusted him with the task of assassinating Prince Zhao.
But right now, Sang Zhong's reluctance to leave with Prince Zhao wasn't just out of loyalty to the Crown Prince.
It was more due to his guilty conscience and fear.
He was afraid Prince Zhao would discover what he had done.
Knowing Prince Zhao's temperament, if he found out the truth about the attempt on his life, he would surely have him torn to pieces!
Sang Zhong frantically looked to the Crown Prince, hoping he would help keep him there.
Li Cheng was also very uneasy at this moment.
