When a man becomes truly ruthless, don't expect societal norms to have any hold over him.

Besides, the man's identity itself transcends many worldly laws and customs.

Zhao Qinglan, stripped of his ability to resist, was close to despair.

Instinctively, as a woman, she could feel the man's breath growing heavier on her, tinged with a primal quality.

That is the most primal urge stemming from the instinct of male biology.

She was scared.

I'm really scared.

At this critical juncture, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly echoed from outside the door.

"Release me! I deserve to die. I will atone by dying before my mother!"

This sudden, heart-wrenching wail completely shattered the atmosphere within Fengxi Palace.

Li Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He now wished he could have San Bao kill Li Yinhu, that bastard, immediately.

And Zhao Qinglan, at this moment, felt a tinge of gratitude for Li Yinhu's sudden appearance.

Otherwise, this woman's reputation would be ruined in the hands of that wolfish Li Chen.

Let him in!

Zhao Qinglan said those words with all his might.

After saying that, she looked at Li Chen with eyes full of triumph.

With a grunt, Li Chen withdrew his hand but didn't move from his spot, still sitting on Zhao Qinglan's bed.

Zhao Qinglan saw this and wanted Li Chen to get up and leave, but before she could speak, Li Yinhǔ outside had already pushed the door open and rushed in.

At this moment, Li Yinhu had disheveled hair and was covered in blood, looking extremely disheveled and miserable.

He scrambled and crawled in, without a word he knelt directly in the middle of Fengxi Palace, banging his head heavily on the ground, making a loud thudding sound. He cried out: "Mother Empress, I didn't know that the maidservant in the house was an assassin and even brought her into the palace, thus injuring the Mother Empress. This son deserves to die ten thousand deaths, please punish me!"

Zhao Qinglan's eyes flashed.

Had she not heard Li Chen's words before, she might really have believed it.

But now, she only found Li Yinhu disgusting, both repulsive and frightening.

So Zhao Qinglan didn't speak, but subconsciously looked at Li Chen instead.

She wanted to leave this matter to Li Chen to handle and see what he would do.

Li Chen watched Li Yinhu's performance and slowly got up.

He walked up to Li Yinhu and stopped.

And Li Yinhu cried for a long time, but instead of waiting for the expected forgiveness from Zhao Qinglan, a pair of men's boots appeared before his eyes.

Looking up from his boots, Li Yinhu saw Li Chen looking down at him with a condescending air.

And there was that face, devoid of all expression.

Li Yinhu's body and soul both trembled.

He would rather face ten Zhao Qinglan than one Li Chen, and even facing Zhao Xuanji would be better.

"Keep bowing."

Li Chen said softly, "Aren't you very remorseful and self-blaming, begging your mother to reduce your punishment Why aren't you kowtowing anymore Continue kowtowing, that's the only way to show your repentance."

Li Chen's words left Li Yinhu in a difficult position, neither bowing his head nor not bowing.

His lips trembled, and after a long pause, he choked out: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

"You are guilty."

When Li Chen spoke, he lifted his foot and slowly stepped on Li Yinhu's shoulder, pressing him to bend over and lie on the ground.

"Your greatest sin is that you attempted to assassinate me twice. The first time, you failed to kill me, and the second time, you failed to kill the Empress."

Shaking his head, Li Chen frowned and said with disdain, "You've had two chances now, and you still haven't managed to do it. What's the point of living if you're just going to waste opportunities like this"ly capable of doing such a thing.Throughout history, how many instances have there been of brothers turning on each other, even fathers and sons clashing over the Dragon ThroneIn his fear, Li Yinhu co...
