Zhao Tailai's words left Zhao Qinglan speechless.

Looking at Zhao Tailai who was completely at a loss, Zhao Qinglan gritted her teeth and said: “Whose fault is it, isn't it your own for being incompetent and always causing trouble”

"Whenever you give him a glimmer of hope, he'll do this"

"What good is that!"

Zhao Tailai was already feeling extremely stressed after a day of anxiety. Now, Zhao Qinglan's words had completely set him off.

He roared angrily, "Even if I'm a complete failure, I'm still his blood, his son. My blood runs with the Zhao family's. I'm here to carry on their legacy, and this is how he treats me"

"Even though he used to beat and scold me, I always held him in respect and admiration. But now, he wants to send me to Wen Wang to vent his anger! He's gone mad, don't you see"

"Since Dong Gong's rise, the Crown Prince has taken too much power from him. He was already afraid; he was afraid of being finished. After enjoying a lifetime of power, it's now slipping away from him. Now, in order to keep his power and glory, he has gone mad!"

"He first sends you to the emperor, what can an old man like him do He's practically bedridden and a living corpse now. Did he even consider your feelings when making this decision Doesn't he know that becoming empress means being locked away in the deep palace for life, never seeing the sun again, and spending your days alone"

"Could he not know this He knew everything, yet he still did it!"

"What's the point Isn't it all just to preserve his wealth and status"

"Now things are better. He can't fight Wen Wang and the Crown Prince anymore. The Crown Prince forced him to kill Li Junze publicly. Wen Wang wants revenge, and he's so scared he shrinks into a ball, sending me to Wen Wang to vent his anger."

"Who have I offended!"

Witnessing Zhao Tailai's furious and frantic outburst, Zhao Qinglan fell into silence.

She knew that Zhao Tai was right.

She couldn't refute it.

I don't know where to refute from.

Pursing her lips, Zhao Qinglan said softly, "What do you want to do"

Zhaotai came to tears, looking at Zhaoqinglan with trembling voice: "Sister, I don't want to die, I just want to live."

Zha Qinglan's heart ached, and she said, "How could I possibly want you to go to your death Now that Mother is gone, you are the only one close to me in this world..."

"Speaking of which, Zhao Qinglan gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you die in vain."

Saying that, Zhao Qinglan got up and walked to the palace gate.

"Your Majesty."

The maidservant guarding the door immediately knelt down.

"Tell the Crown Prince that this palace wishes to see him."

Half an hour later, Li Chen arrived at Fengxi Palace.

Li Chen is in a good mood.

For he had finally waited for the day to pry into Zhao Xuanji's affairs.

Everything that has happened before is nothing more than a struggle for power and gain. If you win, you get to seize a little more power, but if you lose, you have to give some up.

Ultimately, it boils down to Zhao Xuanji being unbeatable.

His connections in the court were simply too extensive.

Now, he saw an opportunity to bring down Zhao Xuanji's entire power base by starting with the people closest to him.

Zhao Qinglan sat calmly on the phoenix couch. She looked at Li Chen as he entered and then spoke, "What do you want me to do"

Li Chen's smile became more obvious.

"Do you hate me"

Li Chen did not answer Zhao Qinglan's question, but asked in return.

With a cold snort, Zhao Qinglan said, "Do you still care if others hate you"

"I really don't care."

Li Chen laughed out loud.

This smile made Zhao Qinglan's expression even colder.ied for many years but have never had children. Only a few years ago did my wife finally conceive, giving me this one and only child.""Not bad."Li Chen nodded and said, "Having a child late in life is...
