Chapter 364: Praying for the EmperorChapter 740 I Don't Like to Hear This

"You say Tai Lai wants to see me Are you deceiving me"

Zhao Qinglan looked at Li Chen with a blank expression and asked.

"This is true."

Li Chen said casually, "I'm going to arrange for him to go to a relatively safe place. He agreed, but he made a request, saying that he still wants to see you one last time. This could be the last time you ever see each other, so I agreed to his request."

Speaking of this, Li Chen smiled and said casually, "Come to think of it, Zhao Tailai hasn't gone back these days and has just disappeared. Zhao Xuanji is so worried that he has reportedly deployed a network of people all over Beijing to find him."

This morning, I saw that he was clearly anxious and impatient but pretended he wasn't. It was quite amusing.

He also sent someone to ask me.

Zhao Qinglan said coldly, "I said I don't know."

But this secret won't stay hidden from him for long. With the Dongchang's capabilities, it wouldn't be difficult to hide someone. And with his abilities, discovering that Dongchang is hiding someone wouldn't be difficult either.

Zha Qinglan's words were a bit convoluted, but Li Chen understood.

Zhao Xuanji had been in charge of the government for more than ten years, with countless informants under his command. Even in some secret places, his intelligence capabilities surpassed those of the Dongchang.

The Dongchang (Secret Police) can hide Zhao Taile and keep him out of reach for Zhao Xuanji in the short term.

While Zhao Xuanji's skills might allow him to go undetected for a short period, he would surely be able to discover within a short time that it was the Dongchang who had hidden Zhao Tailai.

It's obvious that in the capital, the only ones who could hide Zhao Tai are the Eastern Palace or the Dongchang.

"Once he confirms that Zhao Tailai is being hidden by me, what choice will he make when faced with the pressure from King Wen in a month" Li Chen asked.

Zhao Qinglan glanced at Li Chen and sneered, "Are you afraid"

"It's not fear."

Shaking his head, Li Chen said, "I want to know how many cards he has in his hand."

It's just a piece of military advice, I've been prepared for it already. I'll wait for Zhao Xuanji to jump over the wall in desperation, and naturally, there will be a steel blade ready to cut him down.

Although he had decided to stay out of it, Zhao Qinglan's face still darkened when he heard Li Chen say he was ready to kill his father anytime, anywhere.

"You don't need to tell me this. For years, he's avoided contact with his people even in my presence. I can't give you any intel."

Li Chen stood up and approached Zhao Qinglan, saying calmly: "At this point in time, are you still on his side"

Zhao Qinglan gritted her teeth and said, “I really don’t know. If it were you, would you expose your most important secret Even to your closest person”

"Speaking of which, Zhao Qinglan sneered and continued, “You are essentially the same as him, a lone wolf who rules alone. There's no one in this world you trust except yourself. Your wife and children, in your eyes, are nothing more than tools."

"I don't like hearing that."

"He alone reigned supreme, for he sought to seize from me what was never his to take, and mine."

Li Chen nodded his nose, gazing intently at Zhao Qinglan who was close at hand. He said softly, "Destined to rule the world."

He used his wife and children to seize power that wasn't rightfully his, but the entire world with its sun and moon belongs to me. I will use my power to protect my wife and children.

Zhao Qinglan sneered and turned her head, saying: "Well said."

Today, Zhao Qinglan only applied a very thin layer of light makeup. Because she was sick, her brows and eyes lacked the usual fierceness and coldness, replaced with a softness and vulnerability that a woman her age should have.e.It's not like in a TV drama where the female lead changes her clothes and everyone in the world becomes blind.Besides, Su Jinping's attire isn't meant to deliberately conceal her gender. That level...
