7: Duan Jiangjiang Appears AgainAfter Duan Jinjiang finished speaking, he went straight into the secret passage."Go or don't go, it's up to you."Now, the footsteps are getting closer.Long Huaiyu was t...Chapter 371: The Incapable A Dou

"Fine."

Li Yinhu pursed his lips and replied stiffly.

"You don't accept that."

Li Chen looked down at Li Yinhu with an impassive expression.

"I dare not, Your Majesty."

Li Yinhu continued to answer.

"Dare you"

Li Chen sneered, "But from your eyes, I saw the hatred you harbor for me. It's so intense it can't be dissolved."

Li Yinhu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness is both my elder brother and the esteemed Crown Prince. My younger brother has absolutely no other intentions towards Your Highness."

"Indeed, my heart is undivided. I believe those words."

Li Chen said calmly, then suddenly quickened his pace: "Is it your intention to usurp the throne and replace me Are there no other ulterior motives"

Li Yinhu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, why are you targeting my younger brother everywhere"

Li Chen kicked Li Yinhu to the ground with one foot.

Raising his leg, he stepped on Li Yinhu's chest. Looking down at Li Yinhu lying in the snow, his eyes as sharp as knives, Li Chen said, "Because this palace can feel your killing intent towards this palace."

"Ever since the day your brother died, this palace has seen something amiss with you. Everything about you is off."

You look so meek and smiling, but in reality, you are the wolf in sheep's clothing.

Speeding up his speech, Li Chen interrupted Li Yinhu before he could speak. “There’s no need to plead innocence,” he said, “You won’t admit it anyway, and I don’t need you to.”

"Many things are undocumented and needn't be documented."

Just like today, when the palace was attacked, I pondered over and over, always feeling a connection to you. Logically, Zhao Xuanji should be the most suspect, but he is so intelligent. However, precisely because he is so clever, he wouldn't do such a thing.

He wants to win, by winning over the palace in politics. If he resorts to assassination, it means he has already lost politically and there is no chance of turning things around, so he will take such a desperate gamble.

Besides, with his personality, he would lay out a plan much more meticulously. At least I wouldn't be confident about surviving.

He had no reason to use assassination at this time, because he knew very well that once I survived, the Imperial Guards would enter the city at any moment and strip him bare.

“The last few times he surrendered, handing over the Imperial Guard, it proved that he wouldn't resort to violence unless absolutely necessary. This was a tacit understanding between him and I. How could you possibly understand”

Therefore, besides him, I only find you disagreeable. I can only blame this on you.

"This palace asks you if you admit it or not. It's not about caring for your feelings, but to tell you that this palace suspects you. There is no need for evidence, nor does this palace care whether you admit it or not."

"Remember this for me: anything that belongs to this palace will always belong to this palace. You can only watch, and you need my permission to even look. Otherwise, you won't even be allowed to see. And if you ever harbor any inappropriate thoughts, you will die."

After finishing his words, Li Chen retracted his foot.

Seeing Li Yinhu, with a dazed expression, crawl out of the snow, footsteps approached from behind him - Zhao Qinglan was getting closer.

With his hands behind his back, Li Chen said indifferently: "Kneel for a night, go back tomorrow morning, and reflect on your actions for a few days."

After speaking, Li Chen walked away.

After Li Chen left, Zhao Qinglan appeared before the disheveled Li Yinhu.

Compared to usual, Zhao Qinglan was exceptionally cold tonight.

"A useless weakling!"

With these words, Zhao Qinglan left Kangtai Hall amidst a throng of attendants, her crimson robes flowing behind her.

Li Yinhu opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Gritting his teeth against the pain in his chest, Li Yinhu clenched his hands on his knees, digging his nails into the flesh without even noticing.sagree! My tens of thousands of soldiers disagree!
