Chapter 641: Your Servant Is In Awe

    

well. Go back and rest first!”Yelü Guzanqi hurriedly said, "Prince, you really can't underestimate him. Have you seen the weapons he used to kill Hala Dali today They are called fire guns, newly devel...Chapter 641: I, in Awe.

With a light chuckle, Li Chen said: "Therefore, Yelu Guzanqi absolutely cannot have anything happen now. His life is worth not only eight million taels of silver and twenty thousand steeds, but also the life of a high-ranking official in our Great Qin court."

Su Zhen Ting's eyes lit up as he sincerely said, "Your Highness has thought everything through thoroughly and effectively. One arrow hits multiple birds, I am impressed."

"The prince is going to kill the Grand Elder!"

Zhao Qinglan, with her phoenix robe skirt billowing behind her, approached with a glint of anger in her phoenix eyes and asked sternly.

I almost forgot about the Queen.

Li Chen said calmly, "The imperial harem does not interfere in state affairs, this matter..."

"He is both a senior advisor and father-in-law to the nation. Since he is the father-in-law, then family matters are also his concern. Can this palace not inquire"

Zhao Qinglan seemed to have expected Li Chen to prevaricate like this, and said.

Li Chen frowned slightly, he looked at Zhao Qinglan and said, "Do you think this palace still has a choice"

Zhao Qinglan pursed her lips and said, "I advise you to think carefully. Some people are not so easy to kill. He has been able to stand firm in the political arena for decades. Although he allows you to rise now, grasps a lot of power, and even retreats step by step in many things, do you really have the confidence that you can defeat him Don't end up being pecked in the eye by the eagle yourself."

Looking at Zhao Qinglan, Li Chen said faintly, "If this is advice, then this palace thanks Empress Dowager for her concern."

After finishing his words, Li Chen’s expression turned serious, and his tone became stern. He continued, “But if this is a threat, then your son begs the Empress Dowager to think it over carefully before speaking.”

"Court affairs have always been the sole prerogative of the royal family. No one is permitted to interfere."

Li Chen's face was expressionless, his voice cold as he said: "Elder, you have overstepped your boundaries."

Zhao Qinglan looked at Li Chen's face, which held no emotion or expression whatsoever. She felt a chill run down her spine from her feet to the top of her head.

When someone dies, the heart feels even colder.

The gratitude Zhao Qinglan had felt toward Li Chen for saving her life earlier had vanished completely. Her tone softened, but it was filled with iciness as she said, "Your Highness, if you insist on going your own way, this palace can only advise you to take care of yourself."

After speaking, Zhao Qinglan turned and left.

She knew that this departure was a signal for the two of them to go to war.

She couldn't bear to watch Li Chen raise his knife against her father, knowing full well that her father wouldn't let him get away with it.

The conflict between the two sides, escalated by Wang Tenghuan's death and today's events, has become utterly irreconcilable.

The final battle is coming.

But, can his own father really smile in the end just like before

Zhao Qinglan suddenly wavered on this issue.

Having witnessed Li Chen's rise with her own eyes, she knew all too well the blood and rain he had endured along the way. This man was becoming more and more terrifying.

She was so scared that she no longer had the confidence to believe she would surely win.

After Zhao Qinglan left, Li Chen said to Su Zhetong, "General Su, I have something for you to do."

Su Zhen Ting immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, please command. I am willing to die for you a thousand times."

The Su family had long been deeply marked by the East Palace, truly a relationship of shared glory and shared loss. Therefore, as long as it was Li Chen's order, Su Zheting would definitely do his utmost to carry it out.

Li Chen turned and said to Su Zhenting, "After you go back, please contact your friends in the Su family and those old subordinates, especially those with real power who lead troops in the Jingji region. Make sure that in case of an accident, troops can be mobilized at any time."

Su Zhen'ting's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Your Highness worried that the cabinet might take a gamble" who follow Zhao Xuanji are nothing but small fry. They're only desperate to survive in the power struggle between my younger brother and King Ning, so they throw their lot in with Zhao Xuanji out of...
