Zhao Qinglan felt like she was being played by Li Chen.

This intellectual crushing made Zhao Qinglan especially ashamed and angry.

"It's a discussion."

Li Chen looked utterly unconcerned, spreading his hands and saying, “The Wenyuan Association will definitely take action, but when and how they’ll move, and how Zhao Tailai, the president, will handle this, hasn't been decided yet.”

"If the Empress has any good ideas, she can also tell this palace."

Zhao Qinglan saw through Li Chen's facade and sneered: "Suggest If it suits your fancy, you accept it. If not, you just say the harem shouldn't interfere in politics, is that so"

Li Chen smiled lightly and said, "Mother is wise."

"Li Chen!"

Zhao Qinglan could no longer contain her surging anger, gritting her teeth and saying: "I'll see how long you can be arrogant. You act so recklessly and brazenly, disregarding me, the Empress, and all the civil and military officials. Don't forget that there will always be a reckoning for your actions."

"It will be settled."

Li Chen then continued, "But who settles with whom is anyone's guess."

Seeing that Fengxi Palace was almost here, Zhao Qinglan coldly said: "Your Highness, go back. This palace has arrived."

At this very moment, both of them saw a line of people standing outside the Phoenix Hall.

At the very front was Zhao Wang, Li Yinhǔ.

When Li Yinhu met Li Chen's gaze, his scalp went numb.

What he wouldn't admit, even to himself, was that at some point, he had developed a bone-deep fear of Li Chen.

This feeling of fear is unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

Although Li Yinhǔ didn't want to meet Li Chén at all, he had to grit his teeth and walk over since they had run into each other.

"My son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager."

"My younger brother has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Bowing respectfully, Li Yinhu stood with his head bowed before the two.

When Zhao Qinglan saw Li Yinhu, the anger in her heart subsided slightly. She said, "Your Highness King Zhao came to see this palace, is there something"

Li Yinhu's heart skipped a beat. He felt a chill as an unseen palace maid's gaze pierced his back, making him feel like he was being watched. "I'm here to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager," he said.

According to plan, the hidden saintess behind him is about to make her move.

But Li Chen's appearance was completely unplanned.

Li Yinhu had never discussed with the Saintess what to do in case of an unexpected situation like this, so he had no idea whether she would take action, and if so, when.

It is this kind of unknown that fills Li Yinhu's heart with fear.

"Since King Zhao has already been enfeoffed, he should not enter the palace without permission according to protocol. He needs to report and obtain permission first."

Li Chen glanced at Li Yinhu and said faintly, “There must be rules to make things orderly. As Zhao Wang is a member of the royal family, he should not break the law.”

Li Yinhu knew that Li Chen was deliberately taking advantage of him, his heart filled with resentment. He wished the Saintess behind him would immediately take action and kill Li Chen together.

But on the surface, Li Yinhu still made a respectful and humble appearance, replying: "My younger brother understands, thank you for your guidance, Your Highness."

Zhao Qinglan issued an order to dismiss them, saying: "Prince Zhao came to pay his respects to this palace. If there is nothing else, please return to your residence first."

Li Yinhu's appearance made Li Chen abandon his thoughts of teasing Zhao Qinglan. Besides, he had some things to attend to, so he was about to leave. As he turned around, a figure behind Li Yinhu caught his eye.

Suddenly, Li Chen stood still and slowly turned his body around.
