Chapter 749 This Palace Makes a Promise to You
Chapter 939 Politicians Like GrayChapter 749 I Promise You This
"Okay, I promise."
Li Chen looked at Zhao Tailái and said calmly but firmly, "I promise, I won't hurt your sister, and I will give her the best life, so she has no worries."
"Zhao Xuanji is Zhao Xuanji, the Ministry of Cabinet is the Ministry of Cabinet, and the rebellious party is the rebellious party."
And Zhao Qinglan, she has always been the Empress of our great Qin Empire.
Li Chen's voice was clear and resonant, each word enunciated with precision, as if he were reciting the celestial decree, echoing within the palace chambers of Fengxi Palace.
Zhao Tailai stared intently at Li Chen's face, listening as he finished speaking.
Originally, his entire body was taut and rigid like a spear, but now it seemed to have suddenly gone limp.
The air of tension dissipated, and Zhao Tai came relaxed. He handed the list to Li Chen without hesitation and said softly, "Perhaps this verbal agreement has no binding force, and I don't have the ability to supervise you, but..."
"So far, I have kept my word."
Li Chen interrupted Zhao Tailei's words, taking the list and saying calmly, "You don't have the ability to supervise me in carrying out my promise, but you certainly don't have the capability to make me specifically deceive you once."
Zhao Tailai smiled and said, "Yes, so I choose to believe you."
This list is not complete, because I don't know many people. But it includes half of the generals my father has dealings with. Their official positions may not be high, but they are all real power generals who lead troops. There are also two head guards from your East Palace on this list.
Li Chen unfolded the list and sure enough, saw two familiar names.
Furthermore, several other names caused Li Chen's eyes to narrow.
If he remembered correctly, these names had been entrusted by Su Zhen Ting to come and meet him.
Even below the list, there are a few names of senior officials from the Dongchang Jinyiwei.
These people, Li Chen had mostly interacted with, were the true backbone of the East Factory's Jinyiwei.
This is just half of it. If Zhao Xuanji's entire lineage were laid out, heaven knows how many people are human and how many are ghosts.
A political game turned Zhao Xuanji's life into a desperate fight for survival.
He probably never dreamt that the net Zhao Xuanji had painstakingly laid for decades, investing countless resources and energy, would be opened by his own son.
There is no doubt that this list, once in Li Chen's hands, would herald a massive storm sweeping across the Jingji region.
"Do you have anything else to say to your sister" Li Chen asked Zhao Tailai.
Zhao Tailai glanced deeply at the beaded curtain, shook his head and said, "None left."
After a moment's thought, Li Chen said: "You can stay in Fengxi Palace until evening. You can have dinner together."
Within the palace, although outwardly most things were under Li Chen's control, just like this newly arrived list, even the two guards of the East Palace were Zhao Xuanji's pawns, let alone such a vast palace.
Therefore, Li Chen's decision was actually a very risky one.
While Zhao Tailai shook his head and said, "I understand your kindness. I appreciate it. Since you've decided to leave, it's best to leave early and avoid a lot of trouble. No matter how much we linger, you will eventually have to leave."
Saying that, he bowed deeply to Zhao Qinglan behind the beaded curtain. Raising his head, his eyes were brimming with tears, but a smile played on his lips. He said, "Sister, you don't have to worry too much about me. Maybe after things calm down, I'll still have a chance to come back and see you."
"I'm leaving, sister, take care."
After finishing his words, Zhao Tailai turned and walked away without any hesitation.Chapter 1181: Summer Insect Speaks of Ice
