Chapter 617: Drag Him Away and Feed Him to the DogsChapter 508: Caught in the Act

"Did you promise then" Zhao Qinglan pursued.

"Do you think I would agree"

Li Chen nonchalantly said, "Whether it's the White Lotus Sect or Li Yinhǔ, they are both targets I must eliminate. How could I possibly give this power to Li Yinhǔ"

Or so...

"I've just fed another spoonful of medicine into Zhao Qinglan's mouth," Li Chen said with a half-smile. "Even if I wanted to give it to you, your father would have to offer enough benefits in exchange. He forgot about Li Yinhu almost killing his own daughter for profit, so for the sake of profit, he could also make this exchange."

Zhao Qinglan suddenly realized, "So you've been waiting here all along!"

"Politics is nothing more than a game of power. On the political stage, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only interests that endure forever."

"It's you, instead."

Li Chen suddenly changed the subject, smiling slyly and asking: "When you learned that your father not only didn't back you up but also cooperated with Li Yinhu, what went through your mind"

Zhao Qinglan looked at Li Chen and sneered, "All this talk, are you here to stir up trouble between our parent-child relationship"

Shaking his head, Li Chen said, "You misunderstand. I'm here to give you medicine."

He said, shaking the medicine bowl in his hand that was almost empty, "Even if you're arguing, you still need to recover your injuries and get healthy. You need strength to argue! Besides, now you are the Empress, the mother of a nation. You need to keep yourself plump and strong. If your father gives you an important task, how can you complete it"

This, Zhao Qinglan found grating no matter how she listened to it.

Where did you say a woman is plump and strong

"You!"

Before Zhao Qinglan could finish her words, Li Chen poured the last bit of medicine into a spoon and held it out to Zhao Qinglan, saying, "Just a little bit, drink it up."

Zhaochenglan frowned and said coldly, "Don't put on a show here. Whether I drink the medicine or not has nothing to do with you. You even hope that this palace will die directly, right"

"Your life was pulled back from the jaws of death by my own hands. If you want to die, it's not that easy."

Li Chen domineeringly said, "Drink it!"

"I don't!"

Zhao Qinglan was provoked by Li Chen's domineering attitude, and a rebellious psychology arose in her. She stubbornly said.

One was willing to feed, the other insisted on not drinking. Just as the two of them went back and forth, in a stalemate, the gate of Fengxi Palace suddenly burst open.

"Your Majesty, Empress!"

A woman resembling a concubine burst into the palace. She was quite beautiful, and it was clear she had something urgent to attend to, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to enter Fengxi Palace unannounced.

As soon as she entered, she saw Li Chen sitting by the bed, one hand holding a bowl of soup and the other holding a spoon feeding medicine to the Empress. This scene struck her like lightning, leaving her frozen in place.

In ancient times, there were strict rules separating men and women. Conduct between people who weren't close relatives or spouses was considered highly inappropriate.

Moreover, the prince was young and strong at his prime. Although the empress was nominally the mother, their ages were very similar, making them a truly handsome couple.

If the Crown Prince and Empress were to have an affair, if word got out, the entire royal family would be disgraced. It would be a scandalous event that would shake the very foundations of the kingdom.

The whole world will tremble.

The concubine was stunned, and Zhao Qinglan was also dumbfounded.

Li Chen was the first to react.

He slowly retracted his hand holding the spoon, fell silent, and then uttered in a low voice: “Such audacity! What gives you the right to barge in here Has the palace become so lawless!”.""You dare kill these people Very well.""You dare speak to me in such a manner All the better."After saying this, Emperor Daheng suddenly began to gasp for breath.His eyes bulged, popping out of his...
