After saying that, the three treasures bowed deeply, bumping their heads against Li Chen's feet.

Li Chen laughed angrily, kicking Sanzhao to the ground with one foot.

Sanzhao dared not resist nor struggle. He crawled up from the ground and knelt down again, maintaining the most humble and lowly posture.

"Alright, since you understand, then it's considered your just desserts. Come on, drag this useless thing away and have it beheaded!"

Li Chen's words, the Jinyiwei dared not disobey, so they were about to act immediately.

Three Treasures trembled and said, "Your Highness, the slave is willing to die to appease your wrath. But I beg you, Your Highness, give me a chance to atone!"

"The Xishan province is now in a complex situation. I suspect that the destruction of the Dongchang branch and the rebellion may be inextricably linked to the local officials and military forces in Xishan province. Coupled with the current political climate in the imperial court, it could very well be a massive conspiracy."

"Sanbao said, kowtowing like pounding garlic, he grieved and said: "It's not a pity for this slave to die, but I cannot bear to see these scoundrels conspire to cause chaos to Your Highness. This slave is willing to go to Xishan Province personally, investigate clearly, and behead the treacherous officials for Your Highness. Then, I will die to apologize!"

Li Chen's eyes were blazing, fixed intently on the three treasures, without uttering a word.

At this moment, the Xizheng Hall is filled with a chilling coldness. It seems that even the raging fire in the brazier cannot reduce the temperature inside the hall by even a fraction.

In the silence, the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.

All present held their breath, lest a sound escape their lips and disturb the Prince's contemplation.

And at this moment, Li Chen is also weighing the pros and cons.

Everything the Third Treasure said is true.

Now, because of his momentary anger, he beheaded the Three Treasures, which is ultimately more harmful than beneficial to himself.

Zhao Xuanji's side, without the old and cunning person, the three treasures with sophisticated methods, it was even more difficult to deal with.

And Li Chen had reason to believe Sanbao's words.

Rebellion, throughout history, in any dynasty, has always been a heinous crime, punishable by the extermination of nine generations.

Nobody would joke about something like this.

The rebellion had reached three counties, causing them to fall. If Zhao Xuanji, who had held power for over a decade, still didn't know about it, he deserved to die.

So Li Chen was very clear that Zhao Xuanji within the court must have already known about it in advance.

As for why he didn't say it, there's a lot of nuance to that.

Li Chen asked himself, if he were in that person's shoes, he would probably keep it a secret too, just to catch them off guard.

Even, Li Chen speculated that Zhao Xuanji might be the mastermind behind this was also possible.

For the sake of power and profit, these people are capable of anything.

So right now, a living Sanbao is absolutely more useful than a dead one.

After such a careful consideration, Li Chen's anger in his heart slowly subsided.

Is not extinguished, but rather hidden by him.

< >Supreme Transcendence of Desire. < >

It's not about forgetting emotions, but rather not being affected by them.

The Way of the Emperor, acting impulsively is a great taboo.

"This palace gives you seven days."

Li Chen said coldly: "Within seven days, give this palace a satisfactory answer."

"This palace will not threaten you. You know better than anyone what this palace has done since ascending to the regency."

"Get out of here if you understand!"

San Bao gritted his teeth, respectfully kowtowed once, then remained in a prostrating position as he retreated from the Hall of Imperial Precepts.

After Sān Bǎo left, Lǐ Chén tossed the embroidered spring knife aside and said nonchalantly to Liú Sīchūn, "First, take care of that sweet potato matter. As for the salt transport, we can put it off for now."

Liu Sichun dared not object. Even though the lives of all members of the Liu clan were hanging by a thread, dependent on this salt transport, she couldn't bring herself to make any further demands at this crucial juncture.

With a slight bow, Liu Sichun softly said: "This servant understands."

Looking at Liu Sichun's voluptuous figure and charmingly graceful curves, the hidden flame within Li Chen flared up in a different way.

“Come here.”re, it will arrive immediately, but please tell the prince about Zhao Xuanji's every arrangement in detail."Li Yinhu was also straightforward and said: "Cooperation with Liao is just one aspect, and Z...
