Chapter 619: Request an Audience

Don't you think I'm a raving lunatic" Li Chen asked.Su Jinpa softly said: "Whether I'm crazy or not, it has nothing to do with me. Master thinks that I am pretending to be aloof sitting behind the ga...Chapter 619: Requesting an Audience

Zheng Baorong opened his mouth, but the frightened look on his face told him he couldn't answer.

With such a big mess here, how could he, as the magistrate of the capital, be unaware

I actually already knew that.

Yesterday, he received news that a group of Liao people were robbing women here.

But Zheng Baorong didn't dare to interfere, especially after learning that these Liao people were of noble status, he was even more afraid to meddle.

So Zheng Bao Rong turned a blind eye, allowing the situation to escalate to this point.

Until today, Zheng Baorong only learned that people from the Dongchang had clashed with these Liao people. He was forced to come out and resolve the situation, but upon arriving and seeing Li Chen, Zheng Baorong felt completely helpless.

He didn't know how Li Chen would deal with him.

Moreover, he is even more afraid of Li Chen now than before.

To say that I was afraid of Li Chen before, it was only due to his status and power. Now, there's an additional layer of blood-soaked terror.

The son of the crown prince of Liao!

That is the Liao royal family!

Just chop it!

Say what you mean, and do what you say!

Even now, the image of Li Chen wielding his embroidered spring knife, the blade falling and severing heads, remains etched in Zheng Bao Rong's mind, leaving him deeply unsettled.

But no matter what, it feels great!

"Your Highness, your humble servant..."

"Need I say more"

Li Chen waved his hand, got up from the carriage, and said lightly, "This matter, you want to manage but also powerless. Although Mingzhe protects himself is definitely wrong, it is not necessarily wrong either. Just take care of yourself."

After he finished speaking, Li Chen lowered the curtain. The carriage, escorted by jinyiwei, drove towards the East Palace.

Zheng Baorong watched the carriage disappear, feeling a sense of loss.

Although the prince didn't blame him, which was already the best outcome, Zheng Bao Rong felt for some reason that he had missed an important opportunity.

In the carriage, Li Chen felt some physiological fatigue after the intense ups and downs he had experienced.

With his eyes closed, he continued to think.

Yelü Qiming deserves to die, Li Chen will definitely not let him go.

But now, it's time to face the consequences. A mess needs cleaning up.

As for Zheng Bao Rong...

As Li Chen had told him personally, while it may not be wrong to prioritize one's safety, it also proved that Zheng Baorong's character and disposition did not meet Li Chen's expectations.

He still has his capabilities. After the sweet potato matter is promoted, just let Zheng Baorong be in charge of this area. As for the rest, don't think too much about it.

In this way, Zheng Baorong's political life can be said to have come to an end.

Li Chen did not punish him, but the decision he made was the cruellest punishment of all.

The carriage, swaying precariously, had arrived at the East Palace.

Rising to his feet and returning to the East Palace, Li Chen saw the terrified expressions on Zhao Rui and Wan Jiaojiao's faces. Only then did he realize that he had blood all over him, quite a lot of it, a large patch on his chest that reached down to his waist.

These, all are the blood of Yelü Qiming.

"My Lord, are you injured"

Zhao Rui, being very clever, didn't ask Li Chen what he had been up to, but instead inquired about his well-being.

"It is not this palace's blood, nor has it ever been injured. It does not matter."

Li Chen gave Zhao Rui a reassuring smile, raised his teacup and took two large gulps. Wan Jiaojiao stepped forward and said, "I'll serve Your Highness by changing your clothes."

"No need."

Li Chen put down his teacup and waved his hand, saying, "Let's wait until we see who's here first."

Someone here

Zhao Rui and Wan Jiaojiao were both somewhat stunned, they hadn't heard anyone report that the Crown Prince was coming to see them.

At this very moment, a voice from outside announced something.

"Your Highness, Minister Zhao Xuanji and Wang Tenghuan of the Ministry of Officials, and General Su Zhen Ting of the Five Army Governor's Mansion, are requesting an audience outside the palace."restoring the pride that our Qin people had lost.""With so many instances, how can one say the emperor is wrong again and again"Su Zhen Ting, upon saying this, cupped his fist and loudly proclaimed: "...
