Chapter 725 Sister, Save Me <<<
Although Li Chen didn't give orders or explanations, Chen Tong knew that anything the Crown Prince arranged for him personally to handle must be extremely confidential.
Moreover, the empress and Zhao Tailei are also involved.
So, for safety's sake, Chen Tong did not bring Zhao Tai through the main gate. Instead, he entered the palace through a side door used by eunuchs, maidservants, and laborers.
Along the way, Chen Tong remained silent, walking with Zhao Tai in sullen silence.
Zhao Tailai was also in turmoil, he hadn't fully recovered from the news that his father had tried to kill him, so he didn't say a word.
The two walked in silence for about half an hour before reaching the outer courtyard of Fengxi Palace.
The guards, maidservants, and eunuchs of Fengxi Palace have all been replaced by people from the East Palace, so Chen Tong was able to easily send Zhao Tai in.
Upon entering Fengxi Palace, Zhao Qinglan, completely unprepared, was greatly surprised to see Zhao Taile disguised.
"Sister!"
As soon as Zhao Tailai saw Zhao Qinglan, he couldn't hold back his emotions. He choked out a sob and fell to his knees.
"You have to save me."
Zhao Qinglan was startled and quickly got up to help Zhao Tailai, saying: "What happened? Did you cause trouble again? You ran to me, did you get into a big mess?"
Zhao Qinglan's first reaction was that her younger brother must have been caught by Li Chen with some fatal handle again. After all, her Fengxi Palace from top to bottom was full of Li Chen's people. Without Li Chen's nod, not even a fly could get in.
And Zhao Tailai's ability to come here must have been approved by Li Chen.
Then it's highly likely that Li Chen forced his younger brother to come over, using his brother as leverage to coerce himself into compromising some interests with Li Chen.
Zhao Qinglan was intelligent and quick-witted, thinking of many things in the blink of an eye. But this time, she was wrong.

Zhao Tailai, filled with fear and grievance, laid out all the details.
Zhao Qinglan listened, and suddenly sat down on the chair.
That day, in front of the Taihe Palace, she witnessed her own father kill Li Junze. At that moment, she knew something terrible was going to happen, but now she was almost imprisoned in the Fengxi Palace and powerless to do anything about what followed.
But now, a huge problem has arrived.
"Sis, what should I do? Please save me. My father can't be depended on anymore. He wants to kill me now!"
Zhao Tai became increasingly agitated, his face flushed red as he exclaimed: "He himself wouldn't dare provoke Wen Wang for fear of retaliation, so he wants me to take the fall as a scapegoat! How can this be? I am also his son, a father shouldn't harm his own child. He's even crueler than that monstrous creature!"
"You!"
Zha Qinglan subconsciously wanted to reprimand Zhao Tailai, but the words died in her throat.
Indeed, this matter is outrageous no matter who looks at it.
Zhao Qinglan gritted her teeth and said, "These, were all told to you by the Prince?"
Zhao Tailai wiped away a tear and said with a cold smile, "I didn't expect that in the end, it was still the prince who saved my life."
"Do you really think he'd be so kind? He's got a heart as black and dirty as can be." Zhao Qinglan retorted.
"At least he didn't let me die an unjust death." Zhao Tailai said angrily.
Zhao Qinglan looked at Zhao Tailái, wanting to tell him that Crown Prince Li Chen was so enthusiastic because he had ulterior motives, but thinking about the facts, it was indeed justifiable.
With a long sigh, Zhao Qinglan said, "Should I tell Father about this matter..."
"Sis, you don't know Dad's temper, do you? Once he makes up his mind, he'll never change it. If you say anything, he'll ask you how you know and how can you explain?"
