"Zhao Xuanji, you've done so much, schemed so much, what is it all for in the end"

Li Chen pointed to the dragon chair and asked, "Is that why you want to sit there"

Zhao Xuanji followed Li Chen's finger and looked at the Dragon Throne, saying flatly, "No, if one wanted to sit on the Dragon Throne, my old self could have done so last year. Even before that, I had many better opportunities. Why wait until Your Highness's wings are full before making a move"

"Isn't it because you think this palace is too difficult to control, so you took such a desperate gamble" Li Chen sneered.

Zhao Xuanji let out a light sigh, his expression even more desolate than before. He said, "Your Highness, you are not an old minister, and therefore do not know the difficulties of an old minister."

"How comfortable is that dragon throne It's not very comfortable."

Zhao Xuanji turned to look at Li Chen and said, "Your Majesty, I have almost watched Your Majesty ascend that dragon throne. After so many years, what has Your Majesty finally gained"

"An old minister like me, I don't know how many more years I have to live. Moreover, my descendants are gone without a trace. What meaning does it hold for me to sit in this position"

"Moreover, if this old minister were truly to ascend the throne, then all the vassal kings across the land would have an excuse to rise up and attack. This old minister would die a terrible death."

Li Chen said solemnly, "Then why are you doing this"

Zhao Xuanji smiled enigmatically, without answering Li Chen's question.

But instead, he took a step back, raised his hand, and bowed to Li Chen.

"Please, Your Highness, abdicate."

These five words, Li Chen had heard dozens of times today.

But this time, it bothered Li Chen.

For he realized that Zhao Xuanji truly had the capability to force him from his position.

The best outcome, and worst-case scenario, is a complete stalemate.

Li Chen's eyes were cold and piercing as he stared at Zhao Xuanji.

While Li Chen remained silent, offering no response, Zhao Xuanji didn't rise either. He simply kept his posture of bowing, hands clasped together and parallel to the top of his head, facing Li Chen directly.

In the Taihe Palace, silence descended.

I can only hear the sound of rain and wind outside, it seems to be getting louder.

A muffled thunder rolled across the sky, and the dull roar of the explosion echoed through the heavens. That unexpected clap of thunder sent shivers down my spine, showcasing the power of nature at its fullest. It felt as if the sky itself had been ripped open.

Outside, lightning slashed across the sky, illuminating the darkness.

This rain came on suddenly and with great intensity.

Li Chen seemed to hear the torrential rain beating on the glazed tiles, making a rustling sound as it hit the ground.

It seemed as if even the air was thick and heavy with moisture.

At this moment, an eunuch is running frantically in the rain.

Whether it was due to excessive excitement or strenuous exercise, the young eunuch's face paled, but his lips took on a strange crimson hue. It was the expression of someone driven to the peak of exhilaration.

tap tap tap...

The little eunuch's boots splashed in the rain, sending countless droplets flying. The heavy downpour had soaked him through long ago, but he seemed oblivious to it.

I ran all the way out of Qianqing Palace, out of the palace gate, past Yaxing Hall, and through Baohua Hall and Zhonghe Hall.

He didn't know how long he had been running, only that by the time he saw the plaque above the Taihe Palace gate, his lungs were about to burst.

Without even having time to catch his breath, he rushed into the Taihe Palace.

"Halt!"

The guards outside the palace gate saw a young eunuch running over and immediately stepped forward to stop him.

But that little eunuch, taking advantage of his agility, actually squeezed right under the guard's armpit.

When the guards behind him caught up, the little eunuch who had rushed to the Jin Shui Bridge used all his might to shout at the top of his lungs, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake!!!"

Thunder rumbled in the distance. army now is that His Highness is merciful and surely wouldn't hold a grudge over these small matters or a common soldier's actions.Ke Wang'en, however, seemed to have accepted his fate. He completely...
