k.After Li Chen left, Zhao Rui came before the maid.Zhao Rui stood high above, her eyes cold as she looked down at the palace maid. She said coldly, "Since you dared to assassinate His Royal Highness...Chapter 368: The King of Eastern Ying Deserves to Die

As soon as these words left his mouth, Li Yinhu's thousands of words were choked in his throat.

He was blushing, his face red, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Gritting his teeth, he suddenly smiled.

This laugh made all his abnormal reactions vanish instantly.

I only saw him respectfully bowing and saying, "My younger brother dares not. My younger brother wants to say that being able to teach his younger siblings and have the opportunity to strengthen their bond is something my younger brother desires."

Very well.

Li Chen said calmly, "Your Majesty Zhao has such an awareness, and I am very pleased as your brother. Let us drink together to this."

Seeing Li Chen raise his glass, Li Yinhu reached out and tightly grasped his own glass. He smiled at Li Chen, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Looking at Li Yinhou heavily knocking his wine cup on the table, Li Chen finished his drink and slowly put down his cup, saying calmly: "My imperial siblings, don't you thank Eighth Brother"

No matter their age, any princes and princesses who knew even a little bit, raised their cups under their mothers' guidance. Those too young to drink were given water instead. Everyone politely toasted Li Yinhu, thanking him in childish voices.

"Thank you, parrot."

Li Yin smiled with a tiger's skin, but his flesh didn't smile. He raised his glass in response, the frustration and hatred in his heart had reached an extreme peak.

After this little interlude, the banquet continued.

It was only halfway through when a sudden urgent report came from outside the hall.

"Urgent news from Liaodong, 800 li! Military situation critical!"

A roar made Li Chen jump to his feet.

The lively atmosphere at the banquet seemed to freeze.

Since it was military intelligence, only Li Chen had the authority to handle it; even Empress Zhao Qinglan wasn't qualified.

So everyone looked at Li Chen.

"Bring them up here!" Li Chen said seriously.

Soon, a messenger rushed in from outside. Covered in dust and pale with exhaustion, he quickly strode into the hall, knelt down with a thud, and took out a sealed letter. He said urgently: “General Suping from the front line sent an urgent report, it is a letter from the king of Dongying, requesting Your Highness to review it!”

Li Chen waved his hand grandly, "Bring it up."

Immediately, an eunuch brought up the letter. Li Chen opened it and narrowed his eyes.

His eyes were filled with burning rage.

Boom!

With a resounding slap, the letter was pressed down upon the table, the noise causing the other concubines, princes and princesses to jump in fright.

"What matter has caused Your Highness to make such a commotion" Zhao Qinglan asked urgently.

"The Queen should see it herself."

Li Chen said angrily.

He didn't notice the change in his address to Zhao Qinglan, nor did Zhao Qinglan herself. It was truly because they had used such terms with each other so often in private.

But when this sentence reached Li Yinhǔ's ears, it aroused his suspicion.

At this moment, the letter had been delivered to Zhao Qinglan's hands.

Zhao Qinglan spread out the scroll and looked at it with one glance. She was immediately furious, her pretty face turning red with anger.

"The Emperor of the Eastern Isles learned that the Qin Empire had assembled troops on the border and would soon march into the Xian朝 to help them resist the Eastern Isles. Not only did he refuse to apologize or accept blame, but he also boasted arrogantly that the Qin Empire's power had declined and it no longer qualified to be their suzerain state. He not only declared that they would no longer pay tribute in the future, but also demanded that the Qin Empire immediately withdraw its troops and choose a princess to marry him..."

Zhao Qinglan's icy words filled the entire Kangtai Hall with righteous indignation.

This is a terrible disgrace.

No country could accept such humiliation.

At this moment, Zhao Qinglan and Li Chen were fighting fiercely, but for the first time, they stood on the same side.

Because this is the enemy!

This is completely different from internal strife!

Matters of national importance!

"The emperor of the East, you deserve death!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! Zhao Qinglan didn't continue the topic. She said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not, this has nothing to do with me."Almost immediately following Zhao Qinglan's words, Su Jinpa said, "Perhaps it...
