Chapter 988: Palace Emblem Feather Scolds People

ink of another way... For now, the best course of action is to be adaptable and use our utmost sincerity to persuade the Crown Prince, giving him a reason he can't refuse to send troops."Someone asked...Chapter 988: Gong Huiyu Insults People

She probably didn't dare to look at the very obvious slap mark on Li Chen's face, feeling a bit guilty.

Both worrying that Li Chen would take offense, and worried that Li Chen was trying to be nice.

Recalling Li Chen's previous question about whether she was tired, Zhao Qinglan only felt her heart was in turmoil.

Taking this opportunity, Zhao Qinglan hid to the side, and Li Chen did not press further.

They exchanged places. Zhao Qinglan sat where Li Chen had been seated, while Li Chen sprawled nonchalantly on the throne at the head of the carriage.

"I'm guessing your father will make his move on my wedding day."

Li Chen's sudden words caused Zhao Qinglan's heart, which had just relaxed, to rise again.

"Do you have any evidence" Zhao Qinglan asked.

"No."

Li Chen shook his head, a knowing smile playing on his lips: "It's an understanding between masters. Those who understand will understand. Zhao Xuanji can't sit still anymore. He can't delay any longer. The tide has been set in motion by him. If he delays further, the very force he unleashed will turn against him. There are too many people in this world waiting for him to make a move."

"Therefore, the most suitable opportunity recently is only during my wedding."

Zhao Qinglan couldn't help but breathe rapidly. She said, "Are you ready"

Of course.

Li Chen spread his hands and said, "I can't just offer Li Shijiang my land and my head."

So your worries, are most likely coming to an end soon.

Zhao Qinglan said, “What will you do with him”

Li Chen didn't answer the question, but instead asked with interest, "Are you so sure I can win Perhaps I will lose instead"

"If you lose, you'll surely die, so there's no need for me to ask."

Zhao Qinglan's answers amused Li Chen, "There's some truth to that."

"If I win, he'll die too, right" Li Chen rubbed his chin and said.

Zhao Qinglan sighed softly and said, "I shouldn't have asked too much."

"The outcome is yet to be determined."

Li Chen sighed: "To put it pompously, I'm actually quite a pity. To have such an opponent is a great pleasure in life. After the wedding, once everything settles down, no matter who wins or loses, we won't be fighting each other anymore."

"The road ahead is uncertain."

Zhao Qinglan suddenly said, “No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. You shouldn't be too hasty.”

Li Chen didn't take those words to heart. He asked Zhao Qinglan, "To be honest, who do you hope wins between me and him"

Zhao Qinglan looked at Li Chen expressionlessly and then said, "You really want to hear my true thoughts"

"You said," Li Chen said.

“I hope you all die.” Zhao Qinglan gritted her teeth.

Li Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, and after a long silence, he managed to utter: "The most venomous heart belongs to a woman."

The honor guard and palanquin entered the palace. Li Chen returned to his carriage at the East Palace, while Zhao Qinglan's palanquin went straight back to Fengxi Palace.

As soon as Li Chen arrived at the gate of the East Palace and sat in the carriage, he heard a hoarse but powerful roar: "Demoness, today you are at the Prince's East Palace. This monk does not commit murder. Quickly leave!"

Hearing this voice, Li Chen's eyebrows shot up; it was Jie Wang.

Then, he heard a familiar and lovely groan, followed by the voice of Gong Huiyu.

“Old bald donkey, even if you become a high-ranking monk, wouldn't you still come to the East Palace seeking protection from worldly power You've spent your life reciting Buddhist scriptures, but in the end, you're still bowing and scraping before the powerful. Your Buddha would be ashamed of you!"king, but this is the best result right now. You'd better accept reality. Besides, staying in the capital isn't necessarily a bad thing."Throughout history, whenever a dynasty had feudal lords and kin...
