our prestige in the Dongchang You'd be better off thinking about how to apologize to His Highness."San Bao's words caused Chen Tong's face to change drastically. He stammered, "Will Your Highness hol...Chapter 748 I Will Protect My Sister

Even when he was still the young master of the Zhao family, facing Li Chen, he could only be a sycophant.

He drove even his own father to the brink of madness, let alone himself.

...and I, just now, actually thought about hitting him. ...

If he really ran into Li Chen, he would be in grave danger, likely facing immediate violence and being dismembered.

Thus, all the efforts made by her own sister would be in vain.

Even, maybe her own sister agreed to whatever outrageous conditions Li Chen had asked for, just because of her.

His mind was in turmoil, every negative thought that popped up made Zhao Tai tremble with anger.

What angered and devastated him most was his inability to change it.

Even her own sister, as the queen of a country, had to humble herself before Li Chen and allow him to run rampant. So what right did she have to get angry at Li Chen

In the end, it's still yourself who dies.

All sorts of thoughts left Zhao Tailai feeling utterly despairing.

Li Chen, however, didn't care how painful and desperate Zhao Tai's heart was. He just reached out and said, "Give me the list."

Zhao Tailai was taken aback, taking a step back and gritting his teeth, he said: “No way, this is a talisman that I gave to my sister for protection!”

Li Chen looked at Zhao Tailai with a blank expression and said, "You have two choices now. I can kill you and take the list, or you can hand it over yourself, and I will still arrange for you to go to Xian Chao."

Zhao Tailai stubbornly said, "Even if you kill me, it's not okay. I can run, but my sister can't. What if you..."

"I've come out from behind the beaded curtain, can't you see now"

Li Chen said lightly, "Whether there is this list or not, I will ensure her lifelong prosperity."

This sentence struck at Zhao Tailai's most vulnerable spot.

"Really"

Zhao Tailai asked.

"You have no right to negotiate with me." Li Chen was getting a little impatient.

Zhao Tailai, who had always been timid and cowardly, suddenly mustered the greatest courage of his life, gritting his teeth and saying: "I need your guarantee. Even if you can break your promise later, right now, I need your word. Otherwise, even if I eat this list, I won't give it to you."

Then, Zhao Tailai took out a paper filled with words from his bosom, pretended to put it to his mouth, and shouted fiercely, "If you don't promise me, I'll eat it right now!"

"If you ate it, I can have your belly opened and taken out as well."

Li Chen said coldly, "Give it or not."

Driven to the brink, Zhao Tai roared, "No! Unless you give me your word, then kill me and take it. I've never done a single honest thing in my life."

But today!

"Now!"

"Here, I will protect my sister!"

After a roar, sobs came from inside the beaded curtain, belonging to Zhao Qinglan.

Even facing the struggle between the Imperial Council and the East Palace, she, Zhao Qinglan, who endured immense pressure amidst the treacherous backstabbing of the imperial court without a flicker of emotion, finally reached her breaking point.

was a little bit surprised by Zhao Tailai's abilities.

Li Chen suddenly thought of a saying he had heard before.

There is no one who is born a failure, even if they are utterly useless and full of evil deeds. As long as a person lives, they always have their own persistence.

Obviously, at this moment, Zhao Qinglan is Zhao Tailei's only perseverance.

This brother and sister, it's a hard story to tell.

Given Li Chen's temper, he would have already ordered someone killed to get what he wanted at this point. But now, Li Chen has changed his mind. "Yes, sir."He went to the study and saw a letter on the desk. The steward only saw the words "Personally written by Yelü Shenxuan, Prince of Liao," and his heart skipped a beat.He held the letter in...
