Li Chen's words made Zhao Qinglan's chaotic mind explode like thunder, as if many things were illuminated in a flash of lightning.
Immediately afterwards, her phoenix eyes turned cold, and murderous intent burst out.
"Understood?"
Looking at Zhao Qinglan's expression, Li Chen knew that he had thought it through clearly.
"The assassin will not assassinate me or Zhao Xuanji, but you. Because right now, there are only two things that can be done to completely overthrow the East Palace and the cabinet. The first is that my father has passed away and I want to ascend the throne.
That means Zhao Xuanji has no chance at all, and he can only make a desperate move."
"The second thing is that the queen died suddenly. Once you die, the biggest suspect is me. Whether it is for personal feelings or future prospects, your father must give it a go and overthrow me completely so that he can usurp the throne."
Shocking words popped out of Li Chen's mouth one after another, but Li Chen's expression was extremely calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"In the current situation, the cabinet and the East Palace are fighting against each other. Once the table is completely turned over and you fight to the death, there will only be one end. One side will be completely dead, and the other side will linger. No matter who survives, they will no longer have the ability to control the court and the empire.
.”
"When the time comes, the White Lotus Sect, the rebels, and the vassal kings will directly divide the Great Qin Empire into pieces, and the divided Great Qin Empire will not be able to stop the powerful enemies such as the Huns and Turks from the north who will move south after the beginning of spring."
At this time, Li Chen turned his head and looked at Zhao Qinglan with burning eyes, and said: "So, Li Yinhu wants to kill you and me for his own selfish desires! He also wants to destroy the entire empire."
Zhao Qinglan felt her heart beating wildly and the blood surging in her blood vessels, washing away her defenses.
She still couldn't accept it and said: "But if this is really the case, why would he do this? Once the empire is in chaos or even falls apart, it will not be of any benefit to him at all. How can his little strength be snatched from the hands of the feudal king and the rebels?
How much benefit is there?”
"It depends on the individual."
Li Chen said calmly: "Some people like to make decisions and then act, while some people like to act first and then pull chestnuts from the fire when chaos breaks out. He may have enough confidence in himself, or he may simply be a brainless fool."
"This is just your one-sided statement!"
Zhao Qinglan suddenly said: "The purpose of telling me this is not to alienate the relationship between me and King Zhao?"
These girls are really not stupid.
Li Chen said something in his heart, but in actual actions he did not retreat but made progress.
He leaned over without warning, placed one hand next to Zhao Qinglan's pillow, and sank his body until he was only about an inch away from Zhao Qinglan. Even if the two of them moved a little, their noses would touch each other.
The sudden movement startled Zhao Qinglan.
"What are you doing!" Zhao Qinglan shouted sharply.
"Don't be so cruel."
Li Chen said softly: "Is this how you treat your savior? If it weren't for me, you would be a corpse now."
Zhao Qinglan bit her lip and said, "You saved me for your own benefit. You absolutely don't want to see my father going crazy because of my death, leading to a fight to the death with Dong Palace."
"Yes, you are right."
Li Chen chuckled lightly and his body sank again.
This time, the tips of their noses were completely touching, and each other could clearly feel the burning heat of the other's breath.
