t business, but do you know what the most important investment a woman makes in her life is"Before Liu Sicun could answer, Li Chen chimed in, "It's about finding a powerful enough man."Liu Sichun's ey...Chapter 695: Aftermath

From Zhao Qinglan's eyes, Li Chen saw a firm resolve and determination that was no joke.

"You are very intelligent."

Li Chen lightly pinched Zhao Qinglan's chin and said, "Do you know what way can truly threaten me."

Zhao Qinglan angrily flung Li Chen's hand away.

Li Chen got up from her body.

Zhao Qinglan immediately got up and lowered her head to straighten the wrinkles on her disheveled clothes.

"You may leave now."

Zhao Qinglan said coldly to Li Chen.

"I hope you can stay safely and peacefully in Phoenix Palace as your empress. The outside world is very chaotic, and it wouldn't be suitable for you to get involved." Li Chen said.

Zhao Qinglan sneered and said, "You've even replaced the people around me. What other choice do I have"

Even if I were to change people, Zhao Xuanji would still find a way to get in touch with you. I know this deep down.

Li Chen said indifferently: "I don't care about it, I just want you to stay safe in Fengxi Palace, and things like today won't happen again."

Zhao Qinglan let out a cold snort and remained silent.

Li Chen took a long look at Zhao Qinglan, gave her a look that said "take care of yourself", and then left Fengxi Palace.

From the end of today's court session, he would become extremely busy, having no time and energy to waste at Fengxi Palace. Moreover, his objective had already been achieved.

After Li Chen left, the palace maids and eunuchs who had been driven out earlier were still nowhere to be seen.

It took a full half hour before a group of people arrived at the Phoenix Happiness Palace.

As soon as this group of people arrived, they immediately knelt down before Zhao Qinglan.

"We, your servants, pay our respects to the Empress."

Looking down at the unfamiliar faces, Zhao Qinglan said coldly, "Are you the ones that the Crown Prince has arranged to serve this palace"

A slightly older maidservant said respectfully, "To the Empress, from today onwards, we maidservants will be responsible for attending to your daily life. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to command us. We will certainly die without complaint, serving the Empress."

"Would you die ten thousand times"

Zhao Qinglan let out a cold smile, gave the palace maid a deep look, and said, "I hope you keep your word."

......

Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Xuance slowly put down his teacup, closing his eyes as if still savoring the events of the day.

Next to her, Fu Yuzhi spoke: "Lord Elder, the Lord's reaction was completely beyond our expectations."

Zhang Biwu also spoke with a stern face: "Before making this plan, we considered all possibilities from the prince's perspective. We ultimately determined that the best way for the prince to respond was to temporarily accept the empress's decree and return to the East Palace. Then, he could find an opportunity to rely on the Su family's military power."

But what's astonishing is that he actually found a possibility in the impossible, and it came from Li Junze, who we thought was absolutely invincible.

Zhang Biwu gritted his teeth and said, "Li Junze's death, big trouble."

"It's not just the East Palace that's in trouble, the court is in trouble, and we are in trouble too."

Fu Yuzhi turned her head to look at Zhao Xuanji, who had remained silent throughout. "Lord Zhao," she said, "should we communicate with King Wen now"

Of course.

Zhao Xuanji opened his eyes and said softly, "After all, it was done by my own hands. King Wen will not let me go, but the posture must be made."

Zhang Biwu spoke: "He Wenwang can bear humiliation and wait for an opportunity for so many years, which shows that his mind is extraordinary. Perhaps he won't be so easily fooled by the East Palace."nformation is detailed and couldn't have been gathered in just a few years, or even a decade.There is a person, or an organization, who pays such a huge price to investigate and monitor these corrupt...
