Guan Zhiwei was dismissed, Li Chen said: "Although the court has gained a sum of money now, as you know, just repairing the two levees will cost 800,000 taels. There are countless disaster victims and...Chapter 308 You're Wild, But Still Afraid of Your Father

With his face covered and wiping away tears, Zhao Tai came out of the study.

On his way back to his own yard, he grew angrier and angrier.

Especially thinking about the woman he had been longing for day and night was about to be taken by the prince, even imagining their wedding night, his goddess being defiled by the prince, Zhao Tai felt like his entire heart was being burned by fire, his pain almost driving him mad.

“No, I absolutely cannot tolerate this happening!”

Zhao Tailai's face was twisted, his eyes filled with bone-deep hatred.

"Embroidered handkerchief, it's mine!!!"

......

"Shall we stop picking out presents now"

Outside the East Palace, Li Chen frowned at Zhao Rui, who was only carrying a few simple gifts.

Zhao Rui smiled seductively and said softly, "It's not necessary. I'm just going back to visit my parents, not doing anything important. A few gifts wouldn't be appropriate to bring out of the palace. My parents wouldn't mind."

Li Chen chuckled lightly and said, "Since you're so considerate of the current emptiness of the court, where money is needed everywhere, and you're also saving yourself, then this palace won't force you. Just be careful on your journey."

Zhao Rui said: "With Your Highness's words, this concubine is satisfied."

Looking at the convoy, Li Chen thought for a moment and called over Chen Tong.

“This trip, the crown prince consort is going to Xishan Province to visit her family. From now on, including her safety after arriving in Xishan Province, it’s your responsibility. This palace only has one request: if the crown prince consort gets hurt, you and all the Jinyiwei will die to atone for it, understand”

Li Chen's words were spoken softly, but to Chen Tong's ears they were no less than thunder.

He immediately said solemnly, "Your humble servant obeys. Your humble servant will surely swear to protect the safety of the Crown Princess with his life."

Beside her, Zhao Rui's eyes flickered.

For a woman, having a powerful husband is a very secure feeling. Especially if this man is willing to use his power to protect her, it can easily win over any woman.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern," Zhao Rui said softly.

"Let's go."

Li Chen smiled softly and leaned into Zhao Rui's ear, saying, "This palace will wait for you to come back and thank this palace properly."

After so many days, Zhao Rui naturally understands what Li Chen means between the lines.

Her face was flushed, but she dared not say a word. She only blushed and lowered her head in shame, then turned and fled into the sedan chair.

As the convoy swayed away, Li Chen stretched and called for Wan Jiajiao.

"Go prepare your regular clothes."

Wàn Jiāojiāo busily asked, "Your Highness, are you going to leave the palace"

"Go to the General's Mansion and find this palace's Crown Princess."

Wan Jiaojiao stared dumbfounded at the prince before her. Just a moment ago, he was still entwined in a passionate farewell with the Crown Princess, and now, in the blink of an eye, he was about to seek out another woman. This sudden shift left her reeling.

"What are you doing just standing there Go now."

Li Chen glanced at Wan Jiaojiao and said with dissatisfaction.

Wàn Jiāojiāo was like a dream awakening, hurriedly responding.

Half an hour later, Li Chen swaggered into the heavily guarded General's Mansion.

He came out dejectedly after a short while.

Because he went to the wrong place, Su Jinping was actually not home.

He veered off toward the Royal Hunting Grounds and found Su Jinpa, her trousers rolled up, wading in the mud amongst the rice paddies. Li Chen frowned and said: “A general’s daughter like you, instead of learning embroidery and needlework, what are you doing out here in the fields all day”

Su Jinpa looked up to see Li Chen standing at the edge of the field. She didn't care and hummed lightly, "Why must women learn needlework and embroidery I just like being here."

Li Chen frowned and said, "Is this how General Su teaches his own daughter"

Su Jin hurriedly said: "This is my own business, you mustn't tell father!"

Li Chen smiled and said, “As expected, even though you're wild, you still fear your father.”t was impossible to tell beforehand. Therefore, everyone with discerning eyes understood that the true mastermind was still lurking within the imperial court.Li Chen's understated words, when heard by...
