tened, and the tiny, inappropriate thought that had just emerged in his mind was instantly extinguished."My loyalty lies only with what Your Highness has bestowed upon me. Anything not given to me, or...Chapter 484: Urgent Need

After narrowly escaping a recent terrifying ordeal, Li Yinhu was once again bombarded with verbal attacks from Zhao Qinglan. At this moment, he felt utterly drained and exhausted.

He's right, he gave you a chance but you didn't take it.

Zhao Qinglan sneered, her voice icy cold, "Get out!"

Li Yinhu couldn't utter a word, struggling to get up from the ground and limp away.

"And also."

Zhao Qinglan's words suddenly came again.

"The Crown Prince is right, you are already an adult and have been granted the title of king. This inner palace is a sensitive place, and it's best not to enter lightly. From now on, unless this palace summons you, you must not step into the inner palace even half a step. Have you heard clearly"

Li Yinhu's heart grew cold, but he still forced a reply, "My son has heard clearly."

Zhao Qinglan said no more.

Li Yinhu left Fengxi Palace silently and without a word.

After Li Yinhu left, Zhao Qinglan suddenly opened her eyes and gritted her teeth: "Come here."

A palace maid immediately walked in.

This maidservant was brought by Zhao Qinglan from her own estate, she belonged to the inner circle of confidantes, absolutely reliable.

"Go tell your father about today's events. Also, warn him to be wary of King Zhao. Though he may be lacking in intellect, his cruelty surpasses that of the Crown Prince by far."

"I understand."

The maid replied respectfully and immediately left.

Watching the palace maid leave, Zhao Qinglan finally completely relaxed her mind.

As soon as I relaxed, the pain from my injury and the feeling of exhaustion surged over me like waves.

She was just about to fall asleep when she felt something uncomfortable on her body. That's when she remembered that Li Chen, that bastard, had messed up all her clothes...

......

As soon as she returned to the East Palace, Wan Jia Jiao learned about what had happened. Upon seeing Li Chen, tears streamed down her face.

"Your Highness, you're hurt again!"

Seeing Wan Jiaojiao's pitiful and frightened expression, Li Chen chuckled and said, "It's just a minor accident. The imperial physician has checked it out, so there's nothing to worry about."

"It's best to let Dr. Zhang have a look," Wan Jiaojiao said, "I just don't feel comfortable with anyone else."

Li Cheng was just about to speak when there was a commotion outside the palace gate.

It's Su Zhe Ting.

Li Chen still thought that Su Zhenting had come to inquire about the situation in the palace after hearing the news, but unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Su Zhenting said solemnly to Li Chen: "Your Highness, something happened at the front."

Li Chen's eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand, "Go to the Hall of Political Affairs."

Wàn Jiāojiāo was worried and wanted to have Zhang the imperial physician take a look, but seeing that important business had arrived, she didn't dare to say much. She could only first attend to the two as they entered Xízhèng Hall, then hurriedly ran off to get Zhang the imperial physician to wait at the door. She was thinking that once His Royal Highness finished his business, she would immediately have Zhang the imperial physician take a look at him again.

Within the Xizheng Hall.

"Your Highness, just received urgent military intelligence. Our siege plan has been discovered by the enemy, and our main force in the front line suffered heavy losses. Several of our generals were killed, countless supplies were lost, and a prince from the Xianchao royal family was killed in the chaos. The queen was captured by the people of Toyo. We don't know if she is alive or dead..."

Listening to the string of bad news coming from Su Zheting's mouth, Li Chen remained silent, his face as dark and menacing as thunder.

"Where is Su Pingbei" Li Chen asked.

Su Zhen Ting gritted his teeth and replied: "Seriously injured, saved by his own men at the cost of their lives. When the military intelligence arrived, he was still unconscious."

Taking a deep breath, Li Chen said heavily, "We've lost this battle. What we've lost goes far beyond what we left on the battlefield!"hy should I bother becoming the villain for nothing.Thinking about this, Su Jinpa felt a little bored."Well, it's your affair. I can't stop you anyway. Let it be."Hearing Su Jinpa say that, Li Chen sm...
