have proactively asked to leave at this crucial juncture.As for that little Taohong, if the two truly have feelings for each other, staying in the Prince's Mansion could be a good way to balance out X...Chapter 267: Never experienced, don't understand.

Outside the hall, Zhao Qinglan's voice, laced with anger, echoed.

Jin Luyao cried out in surprise.

Li Chen let out a long breath and sat back down in the chair.

This time, it's far more intense and exciting than before.

After the thrill and excitement, comes a sense of panic.

Li Chen how is, Jin Lu Yao is unknown, she only knows that she is really scared.

She dared not imagine what a disastrous end she would face if the First Empress of Qin were to stumble upon this scene in the palace.

The shame of being a woman alone would drive her to commit suicide instantly.

"Don't be afraid."

Li Chen slowly tidied himself up and said, "She doesn't dare to come in."

Jin Luyao was stunned.

Is this the kind of tone a prince should have towards his empress

"My mother arrived without notice, and I'm currently too busy to attend to her. Please wait a moment, Mother."

Li Chen's voice came from within the hall.

These words enraged Zhao Qinglan, turning his face ashen.

Her once radiant and beautiful face was now covered in frost.

"This palace comes to the East Palace, and I still need your consent!"

Li Chen said faintly, "I dare not. I am currently discussing national affairs with envoys from the Xian Dynasty. It is truly inconvenient to receive Mother. If Mother can wait a while, if she cannot, then later, my son will go before Mother's presence and apologize."

This clearly means that Zhao Qinglan should wait if they love to, and leave if they don't.

Zhao Qinglan had never been treated this way before. She immediately flared up and shouted, "Come here, smash open the doors to Xi Zheng Dian!"

"Who dares!"

Li Chen's voice was commanding without anger.

The speech rate was still not fast, and the volume wasn't loud either, but it held a terrifying majesty.

"Xizheng Dian is where the Crown Prince studies state affairs, second only to Taihe Dian and Wuyin Dian. Anyone who enters without an imperial or princely decree will be charged with treason!"

"Mother Empress, you are the Empress who rules over the entire country. But our dynasty has always upheld the principle of the imperial court not interfering in government affairs. Please wait a moment, Mother Empress."

Li Chen's words truly left those outside speechless.

Even with Zhao Qinglan's orders, no one dared to risk their life and the lives of their entire clan by going to knock on the door.

Just kidding, that's treason.

Extermination of the Nine Clans.

Isn't it obvious that the prince is cruel

Can the Queen save herself

Even the empress's most trusted confidantes were somewhat afraid at this moment.

The stalemate of the situation made Zhao Qinglan feel like she had lost face.

If she doesn't show the queen's majesty today, I fear no one in the palace will listen to her words anymore.

"Although concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics, since I wish to see you, you should come out to greet me. Avoiding me and making me speak with you outside your chambers is a great disrespect. Prince, don't forget that this dynasty governs through filial piety!"

After Zhao Qinglan finished speaking, she personally walked to the gate of Xizheng Palace and said: "This palace will personally push open the door to Xizheng Palace for you. Let's see who in this world can punish this palace for treason!"

After finishing his words, Zhao Qinglan raised his hand lightly, ready to push the door open. However, the door opened before him.

Everyone held their breath.

Could it be that the Crown Prince has conceded defeat

The gate of Xizheng Hall opened.

Behind the door stood not Crown Prince Li Chen, but Jin Luyao, radiant as a water lily.

Even though she resisted, Jīn Lùyuāo's exquisite beauty was now heightened by her recent experience. The physiological stimulation had left its mark, giving her a rosy complexion and glistening eyes, a captivating beauty that ordinary women lacked.

Zhao Qinglan had never experienced it, she didn't understand.

But Zhao Rui had already experienced life's affairs. At a glance, she could tell that Jin Luyao, with every pore seemingly glowing, was the very picture of tender vulnerability after being bathed in the morning dew! reputation wasn't built overnight, but rather accumulated over time.It is the accumulation of countless lives of court officials.Although this official held a relatively high rank, his position was s...
