eing half of the carriage red."It's too late."The man in black finished his words quietly, then sped off toward the capital."Leave two people to clean up, and the rest immediately return to the Easter...Chapter 24: Let's Fight To The Death

Zhao Xuanji took a deep breath and said solemnly, "If Master Sun truly accepted such a large bribe, he naturally deserves to die a thousand deaths."

But even if those people deserved to die, the Empire has laws and the court has rules. A proper trial could be held by the Three Ministries, a verdict reached, and punishment carried out according to law. The Crown Prince bypassing the law in this manner has already lost the hearts of the people.

Li Chen coldly smiled and said, “Is it that you are not loved by the people, or is it that you are not loved by you”

Zhao Xuanji and Li Chen looked at each other, neither yielding an inch, and said: “Prince, things have come to this, these are all meaningless struggles.”

“Thirty thousand Imperial Guards, absolutely not allow the Crown Prince to act so recklessly!”

"For the sake of our ancestors and the country, I implore His Highness the Prince to reconsider."

Palace coup.

This is a blatant power play.

Both sides had completely broken off relations. Zhao Xuanji knew he absolutely had to win this trip, or else his prestige would be severely damaged, and the prince's rise would be unstoppable.

To ensure his victory, Zhao Xuanji is already prepared to do whatever it takes.

Whether Sun Boli lived or died, he didn't care at all.

As long as we can win, who cares if Sun Boli dies to vent the prince's anger

"Well played."

Li Chen laughed angrily.

Indeed, these politicians have reached the pinnacle of shamelessness.

If logic doesn't work, then just resort to military force.

His military strength was precisely his weakest point.

Among the generals, few recognized him as the crown prince.

Old geezer, you're the one who forced my hand.

Li Chen's heart hardened, his gaze turned to the Three Treasures.

What he had said to Zhao Qinglan before, about burying a hundred Jinyi Guards and directly hacking Zhao Xuanji and his gang of old men to death, was no joke.

He was truly determined to do so, for he had already anticipated the worst-case scenario beforehand: Zhao Xuanji, wielding military power, would attempt to usurp his position as regent.

Just doing this, the capital will surely turn upside down.

Looters from all over the country, court officials, military commanders were all terrified. Adding to this were the princes and foreign barbarians like the Hu people, Xiongnu, and Rong who all swarmed in. It is very likely that the Qin Empire will collapse as a result of all this.

But what's the point It's better than being crippled and then killed by Zhao Xuanji.

If you all don't follow the rules, then let's just stop playing.

Thinking of this, Li Chen hardened his heart.

And when the Three Treasures saw Li Chen's gaze, their hearts jumped into their throats.

He just waited for Li Chen's order, and the Jinyiwei from the Dongchang who had been ambushing nearby would immediately come in and hack all these old men to death.

Li Chen opened his mouth, ready to give the order.

Zhao Xuanji stared intently at Li Chen, the unease in his heart suddenly boiling over like a dark cloud.

He never would have imagined that Li Chen would gamble with the fate of the entire empire and the Li clan's dynasty. After all, he couldn't possibly have foreseen that Li Chen's soul was a traveler from another time, with absolutely no reverence for his ancestors or the country.

The situation is on the brink.

Just at the moment when Li Chen was determined to leave the table and not play, a hurried shout came from outside Xizheng Hall.

"Prince! Prince!!!"

A eunuch tumbled and scrambled in, collapsing to the ground without even drawing breath. Pointing towards the palace, he cried out excitedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake! He wants to see the Crown Prince!"

The sudden unexpected event caught everyone off guard.

But whether it was Li Chen or Zhao Xuanji, they both let out a deep sigh of relief.

Perhaps they had both imagined the worst-case scenario before it began, but neither had let things escalate to their worst intentions.

In other words, neither Li Chen nor Zhao Xuanji is ready.

The Emperor awoke just in time!

Li Chen immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, strode out of the Xizheng Hall, and as he passed the palace gate, he kicked Sun Beri with his foot, "Get out of my way!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!ront of Li Chen, he forgot to address him with the proper respect due to his position. He exclaimed to Wu Qing Cang in shock: "How... ""General Wu!"Wu Qingcang loudly interrupted Wu BanShan's words, s...
