as possible. As for other matters, I lack both the energy and capability to handle them. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses; mine lie solely in teaching and nurturing others.”Li Chen continu...Chapter 745 Family

On the phoenix bed, the two bodies were tightly pressed together in the quilt.

The sounds of their lips meeting and parting were enough to make anyone blush.

The subtle rise and fall of the quilt betrayed a scene under its cover that was unseen.

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Qinglan only felt her lips were numb, her hands sore and weak. Only then did Li Chen let out a muffled grunt and held her tightly.

"Oh my!"

Zhao Qinglan felt something touch her, and she couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

After a long time, Li Chen finally let go of Zhao Qinglan with satisfaction.

And Zhao Qinglan frantically wiped her hands and everything on her body.

When the tide recedes, what remains is endless fury.

Zhao Qinglan's eyes could kill.

She glared at Li Chen with intense fury, feeling humiliated and wronged.

She felt unclean.

Every inch of him smells like him, like Li Chen's scent.

A feeling of being violated by Li Chen enraged her.

Especially Li Chen's satisfied expression on his face made her feel even more like she had been taken advantage of.

"Get out!"

"Why so fierce" Li Chen said lazily, "You were doing great just now."

"You're still saying that!"

Zha Qinglan flushed with anger and, grabbing a pillow, hurled it at Li Chen.

Li Chen was quick-witted and nimble. He snatched the pillow from his bed with a swift movement and just as he was about to speak, a voice called out from outside the door.

"Your Highness, Zhao Tai has arrived."

Chen Tong's voice, he knew Li Chen was here now, so he directly reported to Li Chen.

"Let him wait!"

This was said by Zhao Qinglan.

Even without looking, Zhao Qinglan knew that her current appearance was absolutely disgraceful.

It's certainly too late to bathe and change now. Zhao Qinglan was flustered in a hurry.

"What's the rush"

Li Chen said, "It's just a matter of a few words. You can have him say it outside the beaded curtain."

At this moment, Zhao Qinglan's hairpin was askew, her clothes were disheveled, and most importantly, there was still a blush on her face.

Though she hadn't truly reached the final step just now, her current appearance was no different from after having received favors.

Such Zhao Qinglan, Li Chen was also unwilling for her to show others.

Even if Zhao Tailai were her younger brother, it wouldn't be okay.

Zha Qinglan was at a loss, but right now Li Chen's plan was the best option available. She could only nod in agreement.

Upon receiving Li Chen's order, Chen Tong immediately brought Zhao Tailai over.

The door to the sleeping quarters opened, and Zhao Tai entered. Seeing the beaded curtain fall shut, he knew that Zhao Qinglan was definitely inside.

"Sister, won't you come out and see me"

After a few days, Zhao Tai came appeared haggard and dejected. He was a far cry from the suave and confident young master he used to be.

Behind the beaded curtain, Zhao Qinglan glared resentfully at Li Chen before turning to Zhao Tai and saying: "I'm sick. It's not serious, but it's contagious. I won't see you."

Zhao Tailai, upon hearing that Zhao Qinglan was ill, immediately became anxious. He subconsciously took a step forward and hurriedly said, "Ill Has the imperial physician taken a look Has sister taken medicine I'm not afraid of infection, could sister please come out to see me for a moment Who knows when we'll be able to meet again next time."

Setting aside personal character, Zhao Tailai's affection for Zhao Qinglan is truly genuine.

And, finally, he had a little sense, knowing that the beaded curtain of the empress's sleeping chamber was absolutely off-limits.

Even though he was anxious, he could only speak through the beaded curtain.

No need.

Zhao Qinglan thought that she would almost certainly never see Zhao Tailai again, and her heart ached. Her anger towards Li Chen, the instigator of this situation, grew even fiercer. made up his mind to report this intelligence to the Liao Kingdom immediately upon his return.The power of this thing is truly terrifying.Whether it's a person or a horse, almost any hit to the vital...
