The woman's soft, delicate skin was grasped, and Zhao Qinglan felt a numbness spread through her entire body.

What made it even harder for her to accept was what Li Chen said.

So you just let those rebels run rampant, do you know how many innocent lives are going to be lost because of your actions How can you be so callous and disregard human life

Li Chen said coldly, "Do I disregard human life Is it me or your father Zhao Xuanji who disregards human life"

"If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened. And now you accuse me of being cold and heartless"

"Yes, yes, there will be many people who will die because of my decision, but so what The sacrifice of a part for the whole is inevitable. I am the prince, the future emperor. I must protect the empire and the rule of the Li clan. To do so, I must consider the overall situation and weigh the gains and losses from the highest point of view, rather than calculating one life or two lives."

"If the whole thing is lost, every part will be utterly destroyed. Right now, I'm just letting this fire burn, burning away all those impurities that were once invisible to me. It might hurt in the short term, but it will lead to lasting peace and tranquility in the future."

Gazing intently at Zhao Qinglan, Li Chen said: “Therefore, the one who committed the sin is Zhao Xuanji, it is Li Yinhu, I was only forced to fight back. Now for every person who died because of me, they traded their lives for the stability of the entire Qin Jiangshan, are you worth it”

Li Chen's rebuttal left Zhao Qinglan speechless.

"When it comes to sophistry, you're the best in the world." Zhao Qinglan said resentfully.

"This isn't dodging the issue."

Li Chen said, clenching his palm tightly, "This is the truth."

"Let me go!"

Zhao Qinglan twisted her body, trying to shake off Li Chen.

But this action brought Li Chen even greater stimulation.

"Don't move."

Li Chen said angrily: "If you move around again, I'll deal with you."

Zhao Qinglan believed Li Chen's threat.

Because she truly felt the changes in Li Chen.

Even though Zhao Qinglan was not a naive young girl of ten or so years old, she understood things that needed to be understood.

Moreover, this was not her first time being forced to feel this way.

Then you stay put!

Zhao Qinglan raised her hand to press down on Li Chen's palm, wanting to pull away, but she found that Li Chen had no intention of moving.

"You despicable wretch! Shameless scum!" Zhao Qinglan was furious, uttering a rare and harsh string of insults.

Li Chen burst out laughing. As he savored the shockingly soft and elastic sensation in his palm, he said, "What's all the fuss about This isn't your first time. We've done even more outrageous things."

This undoubtedly gave Zhao Qinglan a great shock.

She was just about to speak when Wan Jiajiao's voice came from outside.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has arrived."

"Hurry and draw your sword!" Zhao Qinglan was in a panic, she said urgently, but because she knew Wan Jiaojiao was at the door, she had to keep her voice down.

Li Chen's hand not only didn't let go, but instead became even more unrestrained.

She came in from the palace gate, and there was still a while to go.

Zhao Qinglan's eyes widened, she thought Li Chen was probably crazy.

Just then, Li Chen lowered his head and bit down on Zhao Qinglan's snow-white, delicate skin at the nape of her neck.

The feeling of damp heat being sucked on his neck reached Zhao Qinglan, causing him to exclaim.

"The Crown Princess is here!"

Outside, the sound of the ceremonial fanfare rose, followed by a flurry of footsteps.

Li Chen then let go of Zhao Qinglan.
