s.And at this moment, Duan Jijiang's words continued unabated: "Although a number of people were investigated for the Jade Gate Pass Massacre that year, in reality, those were just insignificant strag...Chapter 977: Tiger Falls into the Plains

After the Heavenly Emperor, Huangji Tianxin, left contentedly, Li Chen finished his work for the day, but he did not return to rest as usual.

Wàn Jiāojiāo came over and poured tea for Lǐ Chén, softly saying, “Your Highness, you should rest.”

Li Chen, who was reading a book with his head down, casually said: "It's going to be late today. I'm waiting for someone."

"Someone else Your Highness should just have him come, why does he need to make your Highness wait" Wan Jiajiao said unhappily.

With a light chuckle, Li Chen said, "As for this person, when he will arrive at the palace is uncertain. However, he will definitely come, and once he does, he will inevitably bring news about Li Yinhu's whereabouts."

Wan Jiaojiao blinked her eyes, puzzled.

She didn't press for more information.

He glanced at the empty Xizheng Hall and asked, "I haven't seen Gong Huiyu these past few days, where has she gone"

Wan Jiaojiao pouted and said, "Your Highness doesn't know, how could I know She's been very secretive these days, not seen anyone all day, perhaps she ran away."

Patting Wan Jiajiao's head who was trying her best to put eye drops on Gong Huiyu, Li Chen said with a sullen face: "Stop scheming, go get a gui hua tang gao. You had some last time and said it tasted good. This palace is feeling a bit hungry."

Although she was tapped, Wan Jiaojiao wasn't upset at all. Instead, she was delighted to have such an intimate interaction with the prince. She happily responded and, lifting her skirt, turned and ran away.

And at that moment, in an unassuming dwelling in the capital city.

With a crash, the teacup shattered.

Li Yinhu smashed the unknown number of cups, he was like a furious lion, pacing restlessly in the room.

Zhou Xingjia sat cross-legged in the corner of the room, looking at the broken teacup fragments before him. He sighed softly and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. The situation is already like this. No matter how agitated you are, it won't help."

"Then what do you want me to do Just wait for death!"

Li Yinhu was furious. He pointed toward the East Palace and shouted, “Today was supposed to be a day of glory for this prince, with honor and fame spreading throughout the land! But Li Chen, you, Li Chen, have ruined everything with your own hands!”

Zhou Xingjia drooped his eyebrows and said, "The prince's move is indeed impressive."

"Wow!"

Li Yinhu let out a cold snort, gritted his teeth, and said with a ferocious expression: "Don't give me the chance. Once I get the chance, I will make him suffer millions of times worse than I am now!"

At this moment, a faint sound came from outside the door.

"My Lord, it is I."

Xu Wei, dressed as an ordinary commoner, entered the room and bowed to Li Yinhu.

"Is everything done" Li Yinhǔ asked immediately.

Xu Wei said solemnly, "The post house has been burned down."

"That's good."

Li Yinhu let out a cold snort and said, "I bet Li Chen is having a headache right now. As long as I can make him feel pain, I'll be happy!"

Li Yinhu was startled. Seeing Xu Wei's strained expression, he immediately asked, "What's the matter"

Xu Wei whispered, "Long Huaiyu wants to see the prince, and said that if he doesn't meet this time, then there will be no need to meet again in the future."

Li Yinhu's face was so dark it could drip water. He said, "What does this mean! Are you threatening this king"

Xu Wei remained silent; he had no answer to that., lowering their head as if a wronged wife standing aside unnoticed, looking pitiful."Does Concubine Tai Zi have something to say" Li Chen asked.Zhao Rui hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Your Highness...
