s, natural disasters have plagued our land, while the barbarian Huns on our borders relentlessly provoke us. As for me, though I am but a humble individual, I also lament the weakness of the imperial...Chapter 727: What I Made You Do

"Don't flaunt your victory in my face like that. Just get to the point, what do you want from me"

Zhao Qinglan's blunt words caused Li Chen to retract his smug smile.

"Don't put on that face, I just want you to do something simple."

Hearing this, Zhao Qinglan sneered and didn't believe it at all.

Li Chen's next words followed.

That's nothing to do.

Zhao Qinglan's expression was visibly dazed.

She stared at Li Chen, her eyes flickering with uncertainty.

"Do you hear me Doing nothing is exactly what you need to do."

Li Chen added another sentence.

Zhao Qinglan stared intently at Li Chen, and suddenly came to a realization.

"You want me to disobey my father" Zhao Qinglan gritted his teeth.

Li Chen smiled, but did not respond to her words. He knew that Zhao Qinglan had already understood his meaning.

"As for Zhao Tailai, this palace will make arrangements. As long as he behaves himself, no one will dare to touch him."

After finishing his words, Li Chen stretched and walked towards the palace gate.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going. I've been very busy lately."

Zhao Qinglan pursed her lips and watched Li Chen leave.

As soon as Li Chen left, Zhao Tai came out from inside.

"Sis, can you really listen to him Will he really protect me"

He will.

Zhao Qinglan took a deep breath and said.

She knew she still had a big use for Li Chen.

Even the highest value of their own interests, regardless of whether it is Li Chen or Zhao Xuanji outside the palace, represents the greatest value for use.

That is the status of being one's own empress.

Once the reigning emperor passes away, Li Chen needs to ascend the throne, he must have the approval of his empress.

Otherwise, it would be a case of “the name is not right and the words do not accord.”

After Li Chen had been used up, once he ascended the throne and became emperor, he could send himself to any place in the palace at will, leaving him to a lonely end.

"Sis... then what about me..."

"Get out."

Zha Qinglan interrupted Zhao Tailei's words and said softly, "Since he agreed, he will definitely make arrangements. After you go out, there should be someone to meet you. Just follow his arrangements."

Zhao Tailái opened his mouth, but seeing Zhao Qinglan's utterly despondent expression, he said nothing. He simply turned and left silently.

"Come quickly."

When Zhao Tailai reached the door, Zhao Qinglan spoke up and called him back.

Zhao Tailai turned and looked at Zhao Qinglan.

"From now on, your father won't protect you anymore, and your sister can't help either. You have to rely on yourself for everything."

"You are no longer the son of a powerful minister who can do whatever he wants. You are just yourself. Your sister doesn't expect you to achieve much, she only hopes that you will live well. You should also mature some."

"May your future path be filled with light."

Zhao Tailai trembled, he turned around and knelt on the ground, respectfully kowtowed to Zhao Qinglan, then got up, gritting his teeth and leaving Fengxi Palace without a word.

Li Chen returned to Xizheng Hall and summoned Chen Tong.

Half an hour later, Chen Tong quietly left the East Palace.

Then, Li Chen summoned Zhou Ping'an, who had remained low-key for a long time, overnight.

As for Zhou Ping'an, Li Chen never dared to take him lightly.

And now, there's something that Li Chen must communicate with Zhou Pingan about, seeking the wisdom of the other party to help him fill in his gaps.

When Zhou Ping'an arrived at the Xizheng Hall, Li Chen dismissed those around him, even Wan Jiaojiao was sent out.

In the grand hall, where once throngs had gathered, only the flickering candlelight illuminated Li Chen and Zhou Ping'an.

Li Chen spoke, his first words shocking everyone: "This palace will even the score with Zhao Xuanji."and was about to leave when Zhao Xuanji added, "Also, prepare a carriage. This old man is going to the Eastern Palace to see the Crown Prince."Zhao Xuanji thought about it, this matter might as well t...
