own Prince's filial piety towards the Empress.Under the protection of layers of guards from the Imperial Guard, Li Chen carried Zhao Qinglan into Fengxi Palace after summoning nearly all the physician...Chapter 327 Then Die

Then die.

Three simple words, uttered lightly, yet to the ears of Long Tiande and his son, they sounded like thunder.

Despite being prepared for the worst-case scenario of negotiations breaking down and the two sides becoming enemies, even Long Huaiyu, who had always been confident, didn't expect Li Chen to be so straightforward and decisive.

Even all the strategies and excuses he had carefully prepared beforehand proved useless.

He seemed to have prepared one hundred and eight moves and countless schemes for this confrontation, but when he was faced with Li Chen, he was simply slapped down. How could this fight even continue

Therefore, Long Huaiyu flew into a rage and said: "Your Highness is so tyrannical and domineering. This world is not entirely populated by people who are helpless and wait to die. There are always a few who can make Your Highness suffer."

Then, that's tough.

Li Chen's tone was as casual and dismissive as a street thug, with a mix of recklessness and determination.

"My pain is only for a while, but your death is forever."

“Over three hundred years of inheritance.”

"Isn't it ridiculous" Li Chen exclaimed, "I heard some people call you Young Master. Didn't you object What a joke! You're not even a real lord!"

Long Huaiyu's face flushed red, feeling for the first time in his life so humiliated.

What made matters worse was that an unnamed woman beside him was also looking at him with contempt...

Once upon a time, wasn't there a woman who looked at herself with love and admiration Now it's turned into contempt...

Gritting his teeth, so hard that his jaw felt like it would bleed, Long Huaiyu said: "But this choice isn't the best for His Highness."

"Is there anything in this world that comes for free"

Li Chen said indifferently: "This palace has a broad mind. If some cheap things can't be obtained, just let it go and settle for the next best thing. Just like this steamed bun, you came too late, so there is no choice, either starve or accept it."

"To me, you are like this steamed bun, and the choice I offer you is also this steamed bun right before your eyes."

Li Chen gave a cold smile and pushed the plate of buns in front of the father and son, saying leisurely, "Here are the buns. Will you eat them or not"

As soon as these words were spoken, Long Huaiyu and Long Tiande could feel the killing intent surging around them.

That's not an illusion, it's real killing intent.

Father and son instinctively looked around. People were bustling about on the street, everything seemed perfectly normal.

It's like this, they feel as if countless swords and axes are hidden in the darkness, and as soon as they say no, these swords and axes will immediately rush forward and chop them to pieces.

And all of this murderous intent, originates from the prince before us.

Clutching his fists, Long Huaiyu said, "Your Highness is so resolute. Why go through the charade of shutting yourself away"

Li Chen sighed, as if he found it tiresome to explain.

"This palace sent word, asking you all to come early today, but since you didn't, that hot steamed bun will be cold by now!"

"This palace has prepared everything, if you don't come, then this palace will come to you, and give you all these crooked melons and cracked dates."

Knocking on the table, Li Chen said expressionlessly: "This palace knows what you are thinking in your hearts. You shouldn't have any ill intentions. This palace will give you what you eat, and you can only eat what is given to you. Don't even think about taking it by force."

Saying this, Li Chen stood up and said, "The scenery in the capital city is quite good. The two of you should take a good look around before going back. Once you leave, you won't be able to see this beautiful scenery again."

Having said that, Li Chen walked away with his hands behind his back.

Wan Jiaojiao quickly got up, took out a piece of silver and placed it on the table. She glanced at Long Huaiyu and giggled, "So you're the top scholar from four provinces In front of His Highness, you can't even breathe properly, aren't you ashamed"

Saying that, Wan Jiaojiao chased after her lord's footsteps like a butterfly.

The father and son, Long Huaiyu, were left alone with their thoughts, staring blankly at the dumplings on the plate.Chapter 676: Playing the Long Game
