Li Chen frowned and said, "Does he have anything else to say"

Chen Tong lowered his head and remained silent.

That's not his place to answer.

"Forget it, take him to the Fengxi Palace."

Li Chen thought about it and didn't refuse Zhao Tai's request.

Despite the fact that it was a busy time and seeing Zhao Tailai and Zhao Qinglan again meant little to Li Chen, considering the difficult circumstances the siblings were facing, he still extended a helping hand.

It's not worth being remembered as a villain for something so small.

Although Li Chen doesn't care anyway.

Chen Tong went down to make arrangements, Li Chen considered for a while, then got up and headed for Fengxi Palace.

As Li Chen was leaving, he wanted to take his arquebus with him, but it wasn't very convenient to carry around. He figured he'd have Song Yingxing design a shorter one for him later. As he rode in the sedan chair, swaying back and forth, he pondered this as they approached Fengxi Palace.

Li Chen alighted from his palanquin and strode grandly toward Fengxi Palace, only to be met with a closed door.

"Your Highness, the Lady has taken ill and is resting. She does not wish to see you."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and waved his hand, dismissing the little palace maid.

Coming to the tightly shut door of her sleeping quarters, Li Chen said, “Mother Empress, I hear that Lord Uncle wishes to see you again. Doesn’t Mother Empress want to see him”

As empress, Zhao Qinglan's younger brother, Zhao Tailei, would naturally be the grand uncle of the current emperor.

After Li Chen finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the bedroom. Then, with a creak, the bedroom door opened. Li Chen smiled triumphantly and strode inside.

This Fengxi Palace was like his own backyard to him. He could come whenever he wanted and leave whenever he wanted; there was no possibility of not being able to get in.

Upon entering the sleeping hall, Li Chen's first act was to dismiss all the maids attending him.

The maids had grown accustomed to this, bowing deeply before filing out of the sleeping quarters.

In the sleeping chamber, only Li Chen and Zhao Qinglan lying on the phoenix bed remained. Li Chen walked over and directly lifted the curtain.

Even in ordinary households, a woman's boudoir is strictly forbidden.

After reaching adulthood, not even her father could easily enter her private chamber. The curtain separating the bedchamber and the living area was off-limits to anyone other than her husband.

Do not say this is the Queen's bedroom.

Ke Li Chen just directly went in through the curtain.

On the phoenix couch, Zhao Qinglan's face was indeed not looking good. He leaned halfway on the bed, appearing weak and powerless.

"Seriously sick"

Li Chen's words undoubtedly provoked Zhao Qinglan's anger.

"Do you think I need to lie to you" Zhao Qinglan said coldly.

"Furthermore, if you knew even a shred of decorum, you'd know that within the Phoenix Prosperity Palace's sleeping chambers, from royalty and high officials down to guards and eunuchs, anyone who dares enter behind the beaded curtain is put to death. Prince, I implore you, leave at once!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen not only didn't retreat but boldly sat down on the chair in front of the phoenix couch.

"Rules are made by people, and since I say you can come in here now, then you can. I don't recall you being so out of line before."

Or you could shout out loud and see if any of the guards outside dare come in to enforce the law.

Zhao Qinglan's face flushed, and she angrily said, "To what extent do you want to humiliate me"

"I do not intend to humiliate you."

Li Chen said nonchalantly, "It's you who always puts on airs and doesn't speak properly. If that's the case, I can only respond with this attitude towards you."
