thing about me, and he doesn't look like a common swindler. Let's just go see him first. If there's even a sliver of hope, we have to seize it."Seeing that Jin Xueyuan said so, the maid dared not oppo...Chapter 681: Breaking the Situation

"Ugh... Mmm... Roar!!!"

On one side is a pain that penetrates to the bone marrow, and on the other, a mouth being trampled so hard that I can't even scream.

Li Junze felt like he was a pressure cooker about to explode, his body tortured with immense stress, yet there was no outlet for release. He felt on the verge of insanity.

Even a toothache can be life-threatening, let alone having half your teeth broken off from the gums.

Looking at Li Junze, who was convulsing under Li Chen's feet, blood seeping from the gap between his mouth and the sole of Li Chen's shoe, and letting out a muffled roar like a beast, everyone's eyes turned to Li Chen filled with fear.

No one could have imagined that the situation, where Li Junze was supposed to triumph over Prince Li Chen, would take such a drastic turn.

You know, there are hundreds of Wenwangs out there.

Once these people storm in, it means the Qin Dynasty is completely on the verge of collapse.

The conflict between King Wen and the Crown Prince will become public.

If things go wrong, it could lead to the rebellion of feudal princes.

The emperor is now critically ill and unconscious.

That would truly be a state of great chaos, with the Qin Dynasty fracturing into five parts right before our eyes.

Can something so obvious, something even ordinary people could guess, be beyond Li Chen's comprehension

Zhao Xuanji looked at Li Chen with a calm gaze, but his eyelids were twitching.

This proves that his heart wasn't as calm and carefree as he appeared to be.

With a slight frown, Zhao Xuanji dared to confirm that he had not leaked any information beforehand. His connection with Prince Li Junze of Wen was only through an old servant who had followed him for decades, and this servant was absolutely impossible to have problems.

Moreover, even if the news had been leaked beforehand, what right did Li Chen have to treat Li Junze like that

At most, it's just about obstructing Li Junze from entering the palace, or using other means to obstruct and defuse the situation.

Li Chen had absolutely no reason to treat Li Junze like this, it was as if he'd jumped into the pit he'd dug for himself.

Why

Why is that

Zhao Xuanji couldn't figure it out.

He couldn't possibly know, Li Chen was simply tired of enduring it.

Also, it's thanks to Li Junze coming out that the one lying on the ground enduring Li Chen's wrath wouldn't be Zhao Xuanji himself.

"You're always full of hot air and have nothing better to do than calculate those petty gains. A whole year goes by and you haven't accomplished anything worthwhile, but instead, you spend your days scheming about how to bring down political opponents and grab more power, as if that were the greatest pleasure!"

Li Chen's eyes were cold as he stepped on Li Junze, but his words were addressed to Zhao Xuanji and all the officials.

"This palace has long grown weary. There are countless state affairs and matters that require my attention. This palace is simply not in the mood to play games of deceit with you lot anymore."

Li Chen suddenly turned his head, his gaze on Zhao Qinglan and Zhao Xuanji like a wild beast, almost ready to devour them.

"Do you want to strip me of my regency, or just go ahead and dethrone me Come on then!"

"I'm right here. Let me see if you are more cunning, or if I am!"

Every syllable of Li Chen's speech struck like a hammer on stone, resounding with forceful clarity.

His words echoed in the Taihe Hall, and no one dared to speak.

Perhaps in the eyes of many, Li Chen is crazy.

But Zhao Xuanji knew, Li Chen was definitely not crazy.

He is forging a new path, seeking a way out.

And since Zhao Xuanji had gone to such lengths, he absolutely wouldn't let this matter rest.

But he wasn't in a hurry, because in this situation, someone else would be more anxious than him.nd remain capable of fighting."Gong Huiyu's judgment perfectly matched Li Chen's own guess.He nodded and said, "This is already enough. After all, being able to kill a half-step Earth Immortal with ju...
