Chapter 750: Scolding the Empress <<<
"Tai Lai..."
As Zhao Qinglan's voice, filled with reluctance, echoed through the hall, the sound of the palace doors closing followed close behind.
Zhaotai came still, and no one knew if he heard Zhaoqinglan's last call.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Qinglan could no longer hold back her tears. She covered her face and cried bitterly, filled with sorrow.
Li Chen turned around and, behind the beaded curtain, he didn't go in this time.
Standing outside the beaded curtain, Li Chen said, “Don’t cry. You are already weak and still sick. Excessive sadness is not good for your recovery.”
Zhao Qinglan seemed to not hear, crying even harder and more sorrowfully.
"Alright, stop crying! If you cry again, I'll send Zhao Tai to Yueya Pass. No more trips to the Fresh Morning Pavilion, just go straight to Yueya Pass and be a lowly guard, left to fend for himself."
Li Chen, who was annoyed by the sound, let out a rebuke. In response, Zhao Qinglan, furious, threw open the beaded curtain and stormed out.
Zhao Qinglan stared at Li Chen, angrily saying, "You dare!"
He shrugged and casually said, "I've gotten everything I wanted. What's there to be afraid of?"
Zhao Qinglan roared angrily, "You are shameless to the extreme!"
"Aren't you crying anymore?"
Li Chen looked at Zhao Qinglan and tossed out three words nonchalantly.
Zhao Qinglan pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Stop crying and rest well. I only promised Zhao Tailai that I wouldn't kill you, and I would give you wealth and honor. But if you go looking for trouble yourself, don't blame me."
Li Chen said calmly: "It's really serious, lying in bed and feeling so bad that you want to die. It's you who is suffering. I'm living a carefree life. Think about it, is it worth it?"
After saying that, Li Chen turned his head and strode away grandly.
Zhao Qinglan stared at Li Chen's back, so angry she wanted to stab him with a pair of scissors, but that was just wishful thinking.
After being teased by Li Chen like that, Zhao Qinglan's sadness and heartache inside really dissipated a lot.

Now that it has come to this, even if she didn't want to, there was nothing she could do. She could only pray that Zhao Tai would fare better in the Xian Dynasty.
After Li Chen left, a palace maid came in shortly after, carrying many tonics.
"Your Majesty, these were sent by the Crown Prince before he left. He said you should drink them to recover soon."
The palace maid cautiously watched Zhao Qinglan's expression and said in a low voice.
Having suddenly remembered what Li Chen had said before leaving, Zhao Qinglan who had intended to refuse, reconsidered.
Indeed, the body is one's own. If one falls ill, wouldn't it please Li Chen?
She wouldn't do anything that would cause pain to her loved ones or joy to her enemies.
"Come here... And prepare, this palace needs a bath and change of clothes!"
When Zhao Qinglan figured out the importance of taking care of her health, Li Chen had already returned to the Xizheng Hall.
He called for the three treasures immediately.
Those in charge of guarding Yelu Guguzhi's Three Treasures had stayed by his side in the side hall these past few days, never leaving. When they saw Li Chen, their demeanor remained as respectful and ingratiating as ever.
"Your Highness, I greet you. You look radiant, strong and healthy. Surely something good has happened?"
Li Chen laughed when he heard this.
Thinking about what he just did with Zhao Qinglan, he couldn't help but smile and scold, "You eunuch, you don't know what it means to be strong and powerful."
If anyone else had said this, Sanbao would have slapped them to pieces without hesitation. But since the speaker was Li Chen, Sanbao plastered a fawning smile on his face and replied, "Yes, yes, Your Highness is right. I truly didn't..."
"Alright, take a look at this."
Li Chen threw the list to San Bao, then turned and took the teacup handed to him by Wan Jiaojiao, lowering his head to drink.
Sān Bǎo bowed his head and held both hands above his head, accepting the list with utmost respect. At a glance, cold sweat drenched the back of this half-step Earth Immortal.
