Chapter 476 She Can't Die
Weihaiwei has been used for personal gain. They have all been used for the operation and development of Weihaiwei. If there is any falsehood in this, I am willing to take responsibility and die.""Arr...Chapter 476 She Cannot Die
But deep down, Li Chen still had a doubt.
The saintess's two palms, one struck Li Yinhǔ, the second struck Zhào Qīnglán. It seemed she was not their assassination target.
The reason I was injured was to save Zhao Qinglan.
Otherwise, he could have easily escaped.
This made Li Chen's eyes deepen, he was thinking about the saintess's purpose.
At this moment, Siba's words interrupted Li Chen's thoughts.
"I have already dispatched my most skilled warriors to pursue him. Your Highness, should I order a city-wide lockdown"
"No need."
Li Chen let out a breath and said, "This time is different from last time. This time there's only the Saintess alone. She wants to run, ordinary masters can't find her, let alone catch her. Even if they caught her, it would be a waste of life."
Sān Bǎo gritted her teeth and said, "It's all my fault for having too many tasks and not being able to personally go after them."
"How is Li Yinhu doing" Li Chen asked coldly.
"Your Highness, King Zhao is now in a coma," Sanbao replied.
Keep a close eye on him. As soon as he wakes up, send him to the East Palace immediately.
Li Chen said indifferently: "This palace has many doubts, only he can solve them."
The three who understood immediately replied, "We obey your command."
Li Chen rose and walked towards Zhao Qinglan's bed in Fengxi Palace, saying as he went: "Spread the word, martial artists who kill members of the White Lotus Sect can receive rewards with proof. Rewards will be given according to the rank of the slain cultist. They can also join the Dongchang to serve the country. As for those who are unwilling to join the Dongchang, tell those wandering heroes that the palace has accumulated martial arts secrets from the imperial court over three hundred years. Anyone who kills a member of the White Lotus Sect can come and exchange for a martial arts secret."
With a cold snort, Li Chen said, "This Bai Lian Jiao doesn't even know what kind of consequences await them for truly angering this palace."
Three Treasures' eyes lit up.
As a master martial artist, he understood the thoughts of those Jianghu heroes too well.
The East Factory's official positions may not be what they desired, but a person needs money to survive.
Moreover, martial arts secrets hold irresistible allure for any martial artist. Every major sect regards its own martial arts secrets as priceless treasures, and theft or plagiarism are absolutely unforgivable acts that result in relentless pursuit to the death.
Li Chen's move is to borrow the power of the martial arts world and dig up the graves of the Bai Lian Jiao.
"Your Highness is wise, I shall go and attend to it at once."
"Go."
After sending the three treasures away, Li Chen came to the bedside and looked at Zhao Qinglan who was still unconscious. He asked the imperial physician in a deep voice, "How is she"
"Your Highness, the Empress fainted after being startled. She also sustained some internal injuries and needs proper care and nourishment. Fortunately, she avoided any vital organs and is not in serious danger."
The imperial physician's words brought relief to Li Chen.
If Zhao Qinglan were to have an accident at this critical juncture, it would be truly catastrophic.
She lived her life quietly and peacefully.
Once she died, she would immediately become the fuse that ignited a full-scale war between the East Palace and the cabinet.
Who knows what that old geezer Zhao Xuanji would think Would he think I killed Zhao Qinglan and, desperate, try to kill me
The sudden emergence of this thought sent a shiver down Li Chen's spine.
Perhaps the saintess saw this as a flaw and therefore assassinated Zhao Qinglan
"Your Highness Your Highness"
The physician's call awoke Li Chen.
"Your Highness has bled from the mouth before, would it be possible for your humble servant to take a look at Your Highness" The imperial physician asked cautiously.
"Look."
Li Chen sat directly on Zhao Qinglan's bedside and gestured for the imperial physician to take his pulse.
This action left those around him with expressions of surprise.
A woman's bedchamber, since ancient times, has only been touched by a husband. Let alone the Empress's bedchamberhe premise is that the Liu family has always been useful.Liu Sidar's thoughts were clear, he stated firmly: "But using it all the time is a very difficult thing.""Whether it's salt transportation or s...
