"Lee Chen!"

King Ning was furious and pointed at Li Chen, shouting, "You are too arrogant! Who gave you the audacity to interrogate me!"

"Is the courage given by the Imperial Court, and by my father, enough"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow, his expression turning cold. He said, "As the Crown Prince governing in the Emperor's stead, I have control over all matters of state and military power. There is nothing in this world that I cannot handle. Since this woman is a subject of the Qin dynasty, she should be protected by the laws of Qin. If there has truly been an incident of forcing a woman against her will, even the Emperor is subject to the same law as any commoner. Let alone your uncle."

Or does Uncle Wang think he's already above the law, above the court, above even his father

Li Chen's words, one accusation after another, rained down on King Ning's head like a barrage of hats. It made him furious, his face flushed red, his eyes widened in anger, and his palm involuntarily clenched into a fist, the knuckles cracking ominously.

At this moment, hearing the commotion in the inner chamber, guards rushed in from outside. They glared fiercely at Li Chen, as if waiting for Ning Wang's order to pounce and hack him to pieces.

...and the appearance of the guards from the royal palace also made the Jinyiwei around Li Chen tense up. ...

They quickly surrounded him, protecting Li Chen inside, and faced off against the palace guards.

The available sleeping space in the palace is so limited that it cannot accommodate this many people.

So the Jinyiwei and the palace guards stood almost face-to-face, neither willing to take a step back.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Li Chen glanced at the group of fierce-looking guards and said to King Ning nonchalantly, "What, Uncle Wang planning to make a move"

Prince Ning's eyes narrowed, and he said in a cold tone: "Your Highness, Prince Ning welcomes you to Jin City with both hands. Whatever you want, I will give it to you. Let's just go through the motions, finish this play, and everyone benefits. But if you insist on making things difficult for me, then I won't be able to consider our familial ties."

Li Chen said calmly: "This palace doesn't intend to have a major falling out with Uncle Wang, but since Uncle Wang doesn't give face, there are some things this palace still has to do."

"Good, very good."

The King of Ning laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said to the guards behind him, "All of you, withdraw."

The Prince Ning gave an order, and the guards of the mansion immediately withdrew.

Actions are strictly forbidden, movements between ranks are orderly and demonstrate tactical proficiency.

Li Chen, seeing this, also waved his hand. The Jinyiwei then followed him away.

"This woman, this king will let her go," Ning Wang said, staring at Li Chen.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your righteousness."

Li Chen invited Xu Wei in, "Take her to get treatment."

Xu Wei took the order and, accompanied by Cai He, withdrew.

As soon as Cai He and Xu Wei left, King Ning's expression changed. He said in a cold voice: "Alright, now there are only you and I here. Let's just speak frankly."

“I've given you that woman’s life, but the lives of Zhou Ping’an and Zhou Changshou, I must take.”

King Ning's face was filled with determination and there was no room for argument. He said in a deep voice, "On this point, there is absolutely no room for negotiation."

"Why" Li Chen asked.

Before Ning Wang could answer, Li Chen spoke to himself, "Is it because they have evidence that is enough to ruin Ning Wang's reputation"

King Ning sneered, "To me, evidence is meaningless. You came to Jincheng for a reason, didn't you Tell me, how does the court intend to cover this up for me"led out, and Fu Yuzhi quickly followed the sound. However, they saw at the end of the street below their wine shop, an elderly monk clad in saffron robes walking steadily towards the wine shop.The dir...
