t, otherwise Sun Berli would have been directly killed, which would also have dealt a blow to Zhao Xuanji's power.If he ever gets the chance, he won't let this old geezer off the hook.Thinking this wa...Chapter 1071: Entering the Palace Twice

Li Chen got up and left.

Chen Tong followed closely behind, and half of the people at the scene followed him.

As for the other half, a group of men dragged the terrified Long Huaiyu away, awaiting him was no good ending.

The other half of the people were there to supervise Duan Jiang's punishment.

After all, His Highness said that at least Duan Jinjiang had to endure fifty cuts, not one less.

In the midst of the rain, Long Huaiyu's cries and Duan Jinjiang's screams gradually drifted apart, until their voices were swallowed by the downpour.

Inside the Qianqing Palace, lanterns blazed brightly.

All the civil and military officials were present, not a single one had left.

This time, when Li Chen returned, whether it was officials from the Cabinet or the East Palace, they all greeted and paid their respects at the first opportunity.

“We, your humble servants, pay our respects to the Crown Prince.”

Li Chen nodded with his hands behind his back, agreeing and making his way through the crowd of civil and military officials.

As Li Chen walked by Zhang Biwu, he suddenly stopped.

Zhang Biwu twitched the corner of his mouth and looked down, not daring to meet Li Chen's eyes.

In fact, when they learned that the emperor had woken up, they knew that this huge event of the day was going to be suppressed.

The Crown Prince cannot fall, and the East Palace will not collapse.

The ones who fall, the ones who crumble, can only be them.

Zhang Biwu was unwilling, but he had no way.

Even Zhao Xuanji lowered his head; he could only endure it.

"Sir Zhang, you don't look well"

Li Chen's question made Zhang Biwu feel even worse.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, this old minister... is still well."

I didn't hear how heartbroken Zhang Biwu was when he said that. Li Chen laughed and said, "That's good, that's good. Zhang, you are a pillar of the imperial court, a loyal minister, so you should take care of your own health first. Otherwise, how can you continue to devote yourself to the imperial court and the Li family's empire" Zhang, don't you think so

Zhang Biwu's gums were almost bleeding from clenching his teeth so hard, he lowered his head resolutely, trying to keep the murderous glint in his eyes from showing.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Li Chen let out a cold snort, just about to leave, but his foot had only taken a step before he drew it back.

Just as Zhang Biwu had let out half of his breath, he choked it back down.

He thought Li Chen was deliberately playing with him.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen Ms. Fu Yuzhi all evening. Do you know where she went"

Li Chen's question made Zhang Biwu's body tense for a moment, and then he replied: "Your Highness, the old minister doesn't know where Minister Fu went. I just heard that he had caught a cold some days ago and wasn't feeling well. It was a heavy rain tonight, so Minister Fu must be resting at home."

Li Chen looked at Zhang Biwu, his eyes calm and indifferent, not knowing whether he believed Zhang Biwu's words or not.

"Since Lord Fu is not feeling well, it's best to rest. It's windy and rainy outside, and going out again will strain his old bones. A small illness could turn into a serious one. I hope he is truly resting at home."

"But I heard from someone that they saw him at the Shenwu Gate I don't know if it's true or not."

Zhang Biwu lowered his head and said nothing.

He can't get into this topic.

Because Fu Yuzhi is really at the Shenwu Gate.

Originally, the Red Cannon of Shenwu Sect was supposed to be commanded by Fu Yuzhi to bombard Taihe Hall.

But it's a pity... I'm afraid it will never be able to get out again.

At this time, the door to the palace opened, and Zhao Xuanji walked out.

"Your Highness, the Holy One requests your presence."

Zhao Xuanji said something to Li Chen, then stood aside and closed his eyes to meditate. We must immediately comfort the victims, otherwise, facing public opinion, it will be detrimental to the imperial court.”Li Chen couldn't fault Zhao Xuanji's words.And this is exactly what Li Chen wa...
