"Can't you all hear what this palace is saying!"
Seeing the Imperial Guards hesitate, Zhao Qinglan spoke out with a rebuke.
...all the eunuchs present... wished they could take their own lives with a blade.
Caught between two options, they looked at Zhao Qinglan and then at Li Chen, their hesitation reaching its peak.
"All of you, get out."
Li Chen waved his hand, dismissing the eunuch.
At this point, true power became evident.
As the crown prince, Li Chen had already completely mastered the defense forces of the palace.
He ordered the Imperial Guards to leave, and they didn't hesitate for a moment, immediately packing up and leaving.
They would give anything to escape this hellish situation.
And seeing that the guards of the Imperial Household, whom she commanded, were so obedient to Li Chen, Zhao Qinglan's face turned ugly.
She clenched her fists, feeling for the first time in public what it meant to be humiliated.
As a sovereign empress, she couldn't even command a few guards of the imperial palace, while they all listened to Li Chen.
This would ruin the Empress's face.
But this scene was exactly as Zhao Xuanji had expected.
He said calmly, "Your Highness, are you truly going to walk this path to the very end"
Li Chen looked at Zhao Xuanji and said, "Lord Zhao, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve"
"Soft imprisonment of this palace"
Li Chen raised an eyebrow, facing Zhao Qinglan, and said indifferently: "Don't you know what place this is"
Zhao Qinglan trembled with anger, her voice icy cold as she said: "Since the Crown Prince doesn't regard this Empress Dowager in his eyes, then naturally someone will carry out this Empress Dowager's orders."
As soon as those words left her lips, a light chuckle echoed from outside the hall.
Li Chen felt that the laughter was somewhat familiar. He turned his head and saw a handsome young master striding gracefully into the Taihe Hall.
Li Chen's face was dark.
This man, it is none other than the long-lost prince of King Wen.
Regardless of who he is, to treat the Taihe Palace as if it were nothing, coming and going as he pleases, is a blatant trampling of imperial authority.
After Wen Wang's son entered the Taihe Hall, his eyes subconsciously first drifted towards the dragon chair on the imperial platform, which represented supreme authority. A flash of heat and greed passed through his eyes before he bowed to Zhao Qinglan and Li Chen.
"The eldest son of Duke Wen, Li Junze, has met the Empress and the Crown Prince."
"Your Highness, if you think about it, we are cousins. Though, Your Highness kept this a secret from me so well. When we met, you not only didn't acknowledge me, but also had people destroy the Wen Yuan Hui behind my back. This truly makes me feel sad."
Li Junze walked up to Li Chen with a smile and said, "But these are just minor details. You are the prince, and I am just a son of a duke. Whatever you do to me is justified and expected."
But our Great Qin, especially our Li family, governs the country and the family with filial piety. It's unbearable for my younger brother to see the crown prince treat the Empress Dowager so harshly.
"Not only my younger brother, but even our father would find this unbearable."
Li Chen's gaze passed over Li Junze's shoulder, and he saw that outside Taihe Hall, opposite the Golden Water Bridge, there were quite a few figures looming.
These people, without even thinking about it, are King Wen's people.
...With Zhao Xuanji's cooperation, it wasn't difficult to have this group ambushed beforehand. ...
This merely means that Li Chen's control over the imperial palace is far from foolproof.
Zhao Xuanji, this old fox, has ultimately kept something hidden up his sleeve.
In a short time, Li Chen had already figured out many things.ally, this area is currently inhabited by disaster survivors, and with everything in ruins, we saw an opportunity. So, we rallied some like-minded individuals at the academy and came here together.""W...
