om the East Palace. Upon showing the decree, Your Highness may stay as long as you wish.""I have no imperial decree!"Li Yinhu was truly infuriating. Fuming, he said, "But this king must enter. Do you...Chapter 1382: Leave Someone Behind Beneath Your Feet

When the furious King Ning finished speaking, he raised his foot to stomp on Cai He's head.

Prince Ning was powerful and strong, and he had been leading troops for many years. He was skilled in martial arts and was not weak in hand-to-hand combat either.

If this kick lands on King Ning, Cai He's head would be blown to pieces even if it were made of iron.

At this crucial moment, Li Chen spoke up.

"Uncle Wang, leave some room for others."

This sentence caused the King Ning's boots to abruptly stop several inches above Cai He's head.

Yet Li Chen smiled and said, "This palace is still having a meal here. It's too bloody, wouldn't it be an upset to the stomach"

King Ning let out a hearty laugh, his face shifting from gloom to brightness. "Your Highness is right," he said. "It was indeed an oversight on my part. I shall order her to be brought down immediately..."

"Oh."

Li Chen still waved his right hand holding the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pickled vegetable and put it in his mouth, saying, "Uncle Wang, if you're going to be a good person, do it properly. That's it, let's just forget about this."

Upon hearing Li Chen's words, the smile on Ning Wang's face vanished once again.

He said indifferently, “Does Your Highness intend to decide for her”

"Be in charge Of what"

Li Chen took a sip of porridge and said, “Uncle Wang has only committed a mistake that all men in the world make. This kind of thing is human nature. I understand it very well, there's no need to make a fuss about it. But heaven has the virtue of loving life, and this woman is truly pitiful. Even if we retreat ten thousand steps, since she really doesn't want to stay by Uncle Wang's side, why not generously let her go This way, it would be considered a good parting.”

Li Chen's meaning is very clear.

Things, I won't pursue.

It's not worth breaking most people's taboos for one woman.

But this person, cannot be killed.

Li Chen asked himself that he wasn't a good person, let alone a saint.

Even when necessary, he could be crueler than anyone else.

It depends on who the object is.

This woman named Caihe, standing before you now, might be just a trifle to herself, but to her, it's a matter of life and death.

He thought it was a good deal, pulling her out could save a life.

What matters most is that he and the King of Ning are destined to be on opposing sides. The conflict between them is a matter of principle, impossible to reconcile. Whether there's one more woman or one less doesn't make any difference at all.

After all, he's the enemy. It's only natural to want to get back at him.

"If I really wanted to kill her, what then"

Li Chen raised his head and said to King Ning, "It was just a matter of giving your uncle face, something that could have been let go. But if your uncle insists on going his own way, then it will become a matter of face between me and your uncle. If neither of us can step down, things will look very bad."

"Uncle Wang... think about it again"

In the face of Li Chen's unwavering resolve, King Ning said in a deep voice, "Your Highness is willing to defy this king for a lowly woman"

This is not right.

Li Chen put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, stood up and looked directly at King Ning, and said: "Some things, if you can't see them, it's better to pretend they don't exist. But since you have seen them, no matter how much you try to ignore them, your thoughts will inevitably be disturbed. A good girl like this, just killed by the king with such ruthless hands, it's a pity."

"As I said before, this matter, this palace won't pursue. This woman, leave her."

"If Wang Shu gives this palace face, then everything will be fine."

"But if Uncle Wang doesn't give this palace face, then whether what this woman said is true, and whether she slandered the current prince, this palace might have to investigate it thoroughly."ascend to the throne smoothly, but those powerful nobles within his Liao domain will willingly submit."Even without these political benefits, as long as I can be captured alive, it would be a signific...
