The Second Prince's spies quickly received the news, relaying it up the chain until it reached Xiao Zhen.
As Xiao Zhen was receiving updates from his spies in the Eastern Palace, he also received a return message from the falcon Ling Hua had dispatched.
The specially trained falcon, gliding through the clouds, swooped into the Capital City and then dove straight into the Second Prince's residence.
The letter Xiao Zhen received was very brief, containing the exact words Ling Hua had hastily replied with.
"The Eastern Palace has broken its lance, a safe bet with no losses, all is well, rest easy."
These twelve words brought a smile to Xiao Zhen's face.
Although Ling Hua's letter did not specify how to cause Xiao Ze's defeat or ensure a sure win, now that he heard about Xiao Ze vomiting blood, Xiao Zhen could imagine that this time Xiao Ze had truly suffered a severe blow to his vitality.
He was looking forward to Ling Hua's return to the Capital.
