It is not a good thing for subordinates to ask questions about how to deal with something too directly.
Because no leader likes subordinates who always ask what to do about everything.
It's just that this matter is too important. Su Zhenting must not make any decisions on his own, and must eliminate even the slightest possibility.
So you should ask what you need to know clearly.
This is an appropriate display of cowardice and a manifestation of wisdom. At least you must make it clear that you have absolutely no selfish intentions.
Li Chen pondered for a moment, and then said: "If necessary, strike first. I will make arrangements in advance."
Nothing was said, but everything was said.
Su Zhenting knew that he only had to do what Li Chen asked him to do.
So he nodded and said, "Well, sir, I'm resigning now."
Li Chen nodded, watched Su Zhenting leave, then stood up and said: "Go to Fengxi Palace."
...
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
The sound of singing made Zhao Qinglan, who had just returned to Fengxi Palace and had not fully recovered from the shocking incident in Taihe Palace, tense up.
She knew that this time Li Chen came here to investigate.
After all, the two of them almost fell out at each other in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and with Li Chen's temperament, he would never give up so easily.
Zhao Qinglan had no expression on her face, sitting on the phoenix that represented the queen's position, watching Li Chen stride into the main hall of Fengxi Palace.
"My son, I have met my mother."
Li Chen saluted solemnly and couldn't fault him.
"No gift."
Zhao Qinglan said calmly: "The prince came here, why?"
Li Chen stood in the middle of the main hall, looked directly at Zhao Qinglan, waved his hand and said: "Step back, let me have a few words of respect with my mother."
The maids and eunuchs on the left and right were hesitant.
On the one hand, he did not dare to offend His Highness the Crown Prince, who now held all the power, and on the other hand, he did not dare to abandon the Queen.
A flash of ice flashed across Zhao Qinglan's pretty face, and she said stiffly: "There is nothing personal to say between the Crown Prince and me, let alone anything that others cannot hear. The Crown Prince just says it."
Li Chen didn't seem to hear what Zhao Qinglan said, and said coldly to the group of maids: "Can't you hear what I said?"
The maids trembled, lowered their heads, and left in silence.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Qinglan's eyes were full of anger. She clenched her fists and looked at Li Chen humiliatingly, "What exactly do you want to do?"
After everyone left, Li Chen raised a smile on his lips, stepped forward step by step, stepped onto Feng Luan, his toes touching Zhao Qinglan's.
"Is it my turn to ask you this question?"
The status of Feng Luan is equivalent to that of the emperor's dragon bed. No one other than the emperor is allowed to set foot on it, otherwise it will be a crime as serious as treason.
Zhao Qinglan saw Li Chen's actions and said angrily: "You are so presumptuous!"
As he spoke, Zhao Qinglan raised his hand and wanted to slap Li Chen.
As soon as she raised her hand, Li Chen grabbed her wrist.
Holding Zhao Qinglan's soft and smooth wrist, Li Chen was smiling, but his eyes were extremely cold.
"Am I arrogant? Am I less arrogant? Haven't you, the Queen, gotten used to the arrogance of your ministers!?"
These words have thousands of meanings.
Zhao Qinglan obviously understood what Li Chen wanted to express.
Her pretty face turned red, and she didn't know whether she was angry or embarrassed.
After struggling for a while, but unable to break free from Li Chen's hand, Zhao Qinglan said angrily: "Let me go!"
"After I finish speaking, I will naturally let go."
Li Chen said coldly: "After the beginning of this year, first there were assassins, and then there were people who broke into the Palace of Supreme Harmony. I deeply feel that the guards in the palace can no longer be trusted, so I plan to replace a group of reliable guards for Fengxi Palace."
, to protect the safety of my mother, and I also ask my mother’s permission.”
