"Mother, your son has already paid his respects to the Emperor. Perhaps it's time to send you back to the palace now"

Li Chen turned around and said to Zhao Qinglan.

When others heard this, they would only think that the prince was filial. However, Zhao Qinglan knew that Li Chen had a bad heart and was not sincere at all.

Seeing that everyone around her was praising Li Chen, Zhao Qinglan felt a surge of frustration inside.

With a frosty expression on her face, Zhao Qinglan said coldly: "No need, the Crown Prince has countless affairs to attend to. He should focus on his duties."

After that, Zhao Qinglan turned to leave.

Li Chen chased after her for a step and said with a smile, “As a son, sending my mother back to the palace is the most proper thing to do.”

Zhao Qinglan saw that Li Chen was unrelenting and became even angrier. Just as she was about to speak, Li Chen spoke again: "I heard that a few days ago, the Imperial Uncle joined an organization called Wenyuan Hui. After investigations by the Dongchang, it was discovered that this organization held some improper activities every day. A group of prominent families' descendants didn't think about how to serve the country, but instead talked about court affairs day and night. The imperial court is planning to take action against Wenyuan Hui. Mother, do you have any advice for this palace"

As soon as those words left his mouth, Zhao Qinglan froze.

She was the Empress of the Qin Empire, the legitimate wife of Emperor Taixing in name. Her maternal uncle, naturally, was her younger brother Zhao Tai.

She didn't know much about family affairs, having lived in the palace for so long. But she did know that her brother had been severely punished by their father some time ago for something related to a literary society called Wen Yuan Hui.

Right now, Li Chen is threatening Zhao Qinglan with this matter. Zhao Qinglan immediately becomes furious.

She stared at Li Chen, her silver teeth clenched, and said, "Has the Crown Prince's mind been made up"

Li Chen said faintly, "It is still under discussion."

This statement made Zhao Qinglan feel like, "I'm planning to attack your younger brother. If you're smart, there's still room for negotiation. If you're not, then let's see who has the stronger hand."

Zhao Qinglan's face grew even colder. Although she was filled with grief and helplessness, she also knew that Li Chen was absolutely capable of doing what he said. Too many past experiences had taught Zhao Qinglan not to easily challenge Li Chen's bottom line, otherwise, this person could really do anything.

Then I would ask the Crown Prince to escort me back to the palace.

Zhao Qinglan, with a helpless sigh, once again conceded. Having said as much, she flicked her sleeve and strode ahead.

Li Chen walked to Zhao Qinglan's side, and they walked out shoulder to shoulder, waving their hands at the same time, asking everyone around them to step back.

The Empress and the Crown Prince didn't get along, which was common knowledge among the palace staff. When the two deities started a magical duel, everyone scrambled to get out of the way. They didn't dare to get close, so they all ran away as far as they could.

This time, Zhao Qinglan had learned her lesson. With Li Chen around, she wouldn't dare to enter the secluded phoenix carriage that no one could see. So she chose to walk back to the palace.

The two of them walked towards Fengxi Palace.

Seeing that no one was around to hear their conversation, Zhao Qinglan said, "You know very well that the so-called Wen Yuan Hui, Tai Lai was set up."

"Being tricked Wrong, he jumped in himself and was quite pleased with it." Li Chen said.

Zhao Qinglan's face darkened.

Although Li Chen spoke rudely, she knew that this was indeed Zhao Tai's personality.

Arrogant, spoiled, and clueless!

“If you want to take action against Wen Yuanhui, I have no objection, but don’t hurt him.” Zhao Qinglan gritted his teeth and said.

The Queen thought too much.

Li Chen said calmly, "This matter belongs to the court's affairs. The harem should not interfere in politics, and the Empress has no right to manage it."

Zhao Qinglan fumed, "It was you who said you wanted to discuss matters with this palace!"Chapter 915: Xu Changqing's Officialdom Philosophy
