d the Empress locked in a standoff, Zhao Rui felt deeply moved. She spoke up, "Your Highness, it was this concubine who acted out of line first. It is only right for the Empress to punish me. I am unw...Chapter 526: Holding the Upper Hand

When he said this, Li Chen completely forgot how he had reprimanded Sanbao for being less generous just seconds ago.

As the crown prince, Li Chen didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters. He was more concerned with how to get the money house project off the ground.

Such a large-scale plan, and one that is unprecedented, could hardly be accomplished without cabinet approval.

But right now, given his relationship with the cabinet, it's really unbelievable that Zhao Xuanji isn't putting obstacles in their way.

It's just like when Li Chen vetoed several lists of official appointments submitted by the cabinet. Basically, any policy proposals put forward by Li Chen would be met with all sorts of resistance from the cabinet.

Looking at Li Yinhu acting, Zhao Xuanji didn't show any expression on his face, but he thought it was childish and ridiculous in his heart.

This set of acting skills, he had already worn out ten years ago, I didn't expect Li Yinhu to show off his tricks in front of me now.

"again, startling Li Yinhu awake. By the time Li Yinhu awoke, Li Chen was already standing before him.Li Yinhu jolted awake, looking up at Li Chen who was right in front of him. Li Chen's expression w...
