appened, perhaps this was her bottom line, or maybe she saw chastity as her most precious and valuable bargaining chip, unwilling to give it up easily.But she still did the wrong thing, taking a big s...Chapter 1707: Li Chen's Fury

Something big has happened within the Qin Empire, and it's most likely a major internal issue. This situation is serious and spreading quickly.

This is Huangjitian's guess, although it's just a guess, but seeing Li Chen's extremely rare gaffe, Huangjitian dares to bet, the authenticity of this guess is absolutely reliable.

What he was curious about now was, how big of a fire, burning to where, could make Li Chen so distraught

His eyes rolled, and Huangji Tian wanted to probe with a question, but ultimately held back.

Because Li Chen had issued an order to expel guests.

"Thirteenth Brother, wouldn't you like to go for a stroll"

Too harsh.

Huangji Tian helplessly smiled and stood up. "I've gotten a bit tired of sitting, so I might as well take a walk to get some fresh air. Please feel free to call for me if anything comes up."

Li Chen nodded and said, "The Liao army is getting closer and a large battle could break out at any moment. Just wait for news, Thirteenth Brother."

"Good."

Huangji Tian stood up and left with his people.

Stepping out of the county office, Huangji Tian turned his head and glanced inside, addressing Fucha Huanzhen: "Fucha sir, what do you think happened in the capital of Qin"

Fucha Huanzhen said, "The eyes we have in the capital haven't sent any news yet, but they should be on their way. Thirteenth Brother will know the truth soon."

Let out a light chuckle, Huangji Tian said, “Come to think of it, I’m truly curious. I’ve never seen him so unable to contain his rage.”

At this moment, inside the county government office, Li Chen has taken Chen Tong to a side room.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Chen said emotionlessly, "Zhao Xuanji has seized power."

Chen Tong's eyes widened, and he felt his blood pressure surge instantly. His heart pounded like a galloping warhorse.

But it failed, at the last moment, the Crown Princess and Empress united with General Su to suppress him.

Chen Tong let out a sigh of relief, feeling that in just these two sentences, he had broken out in a sweat weighing two pounds.

But now, the Empress governs in seclusion.

Chen Tong's eyes were even wider than before.

Who doesn't know that the Empress is Zhao Xuanji's daughter What's the difference between her ruling behind a curtain and Zhao Xuanji successfully seizing power

It was only then that Chen Tong suddenly realized, the prince had said earlier that the Empress and Crown Princess, along with General Su, had foiled the plot to usurp power by Zhao Xuanji...

Chen Tong only felt a buzzing in his head, utterly confused.

Looking up, Li Chen said coldly, “After Zhao Xuanji’s failed coup attempt, he began to eliminate the forces around the Eastern Palace, and their first target was the Liu family!”

"If it weren't for the Crown Princess arriving first, Liu Sicun would have been arrested and killed by now!"

Chen Tong's heart was no longer racing, it was almost about to leap out of his chest.

He remembered that before leaving the capital, the Crown Prince had repeatedly instructed him to ensure that Liu's family was well protected by the Dongchang Jinyiwei. This was exactly what they were trying to prevent, but unfortunately, something still happened to Liu's family. In the end, it was the Crown Princess who saved them. What about those Jinyiwei guards

Before Chen Tong could process this news, Li Chen slammed his hand on the table and said coldly: "The most crucial point is that the imperial court's bank has been experiencing a nationwide run. The situation is now spiraling out of control, Chen Tong! This palace has instructed you countless times, the primary task of the Jinyiwei scattered across the land is to keep a close eye on the banks, and absolutely prevent them from being emptied or having their emotions manipulated by malicious individuals."

"For such matters, this palace does not expect the Jinyi Guard to resolve them, but at least they should be prepared in advance, at least grasp the news beforehand. However, now, are you Jinyi Guard deaf, blind, or all of Zhao Xuanji's lackeys!"nd countless people shout 'Long live the Emperor!' for him."But now, after he's fallen, everyone is scrambling for power, trying to take even the smallest sliver of control from him. He lies there, an...
