Li Chen never thought that Princess Jiayi would use him as a cover. In order to reject this marriage, he even used him as an excuse!

Not long after Li Chen received the news, Wan Tongtian sent Li Chen to the main hall.

Needless to say, Li Chen also knew that he had rejected Wan Tongtian's reward. This time, it was clear that he did not know what was good for him.

In the main hall, Jia Yi was still asking Wan Tongtian to retract his order.

"I don't want to marry General Peng Ke, please retract your order, royal father!"

When Li Chen walked in, he saw Jia Yi kneeling on the floor. Her eyes were slightly red. Apparently, she had already cried once.

Seeing Li Chen walk in, Princess Jiayi raised her head and glanced at him. That gaze seemed to contain boundless weakness and pleading, instantly piercing into Li Chen's heart.

Li Chen was slightly stunned. A smile appeared on Wan Tongtian's face as he said, "Young Master Li, you're here …"

Hearing Wan Tongtian's voice, Li Chen returned to his normal state. He then lightly smiled and said, "I wonder why His Majesty is looking for me?"

If Wan Tongtian didn't mention anything about Jia Yi, then Li Chen wouldn't think she knew.

"I originally wanted to marry Jiayi to General Xiong Ke, but Jiayi actually told me that her heart belongs to someone!" Wan Tongtian's voice was very gentle, as if he was casually chatting with Li Chen. However, Li Chen felt that Wan Tongtian was like a venomous snake eyeing its prey, neither fast nor slow.

Li Chen said with a smile, "I assume that Princess Jiayi is young and inexperienced, and mistook the other emotions for liking them!"

How could it be so easy to plot against him? The smile on Li Chen's face did not fade. She assumed that Jia Yi was not related to him at all.

"I really hope that it will be like what Young Master Li said. It's just that Jiayi was tempted by that person. Young Master Li, how do you think I should punish him?"

Wan Tongtian slightly narrowed his eyes. Although there was a smile on his face, that smile didn't reach his eyes.

Li Chen looked fearlessly at Wan Tongtian: "I'm not from Darknorth Kingdom, so I don't really understand the laws of Darknorth Kingdom."

Not only did he not answer Wan Tongtian directly, he even told Wan Tongtian that he was from the Southern Domain, that his status was equal to Wan Tongtian, and that his strength was greater than the Beiming Nation, so he did not need to care about what Wan Tongtian thought or thought.

Even if he had something to do with Jia Yi, Wan Tongtian would not punish him!

Wan Tongtian narrowed his eyes slightly. He naturally understood the meaning behind Li Chen's words, but he was very unwilling. What Li Chen had with him really moved his heart. If he allowed Li Chen to leave like this, he would be very unwilling!

"Oh right, I have come here today to inform Your Majesty that I will be leaving tomorrow. I will be taking my leave from Your Majesty today!" Thank you, your majesty, for the hospitality you have received over the past few days. " Li Chen faintly said a few words. His words were just a face-to-face exchange with Wan Tongtian. With his strength, it would be very easy for him to leave with Little Treasure without anyone noticing.

A look of astonishment flashed across Wan Tongtian's face. His eyes turned as he said, "Young Master Li, after all, you've known Jiayi and General Xiong for a while. Why don't you wait until after Princess Jiayi and General Xiong Ke get married before leaving?"

Was he thinking of ways to stay?

A trace of mockery flashed across Li Chen's mouth. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Princess Jiayi say, "Imperial Father, your daughter said that she would never marry General Xiong! If royal father insists on marrying me to Xiong Ke, at that time, don't blame your daughter for being unfilial! "

When Jia Yi heard Li Chen say he was leaving, she felt sad for a moment. Even if she wanted to marry someone else, this man wouldn't stop for her sake. Moreover, she knew Wan Tongtian's target was Li Chen, but she couldn't change the situation.

Wan Tongtian didn't expect Jia Yi to say such a thing at this time. Her face turned pale with anger!

Looking at the stubborn face of Jia Yi, his face turned unsettled. After a long while, he forced a smile and said, "Jiayi, your father did this for your own good. Someone come! Bring the princess back, we are not allowed to leave without my orders. "

Two guards came in and brought the pale-faced Jia Yi away.

Li Chen didn't expect Wan Tongtian to ignore Jia Yi's thoughts and try to force his to marry Xiong Ke. However, he thought that not only would Jia Yi not agree, Xiong Ke wouldn't agree!

Seeing that he could not keep Li Chen, Wan Tongtian changed his method and said: "Sir Li, you must leave tomorrow. Since this is the case, tonight's banquet will be held in the palace. Just take it as me doing it for Young Master! "

Li Chen nodded his head in agreement, but he did not ignore the profound look in Wan Tongtian's eyes.

Whether it was a scheme or a conspiracy, there was nothing for him to worry about.

Ye Zichen took advantage of the meeting to discuss with Xiong Ke what he planned to do.

In the evening, Li Chen brought Chuan with him, but he did not change into a woman's outfit. The reason was that Chou kept nagging, wanting to see what the palace looked like.

While she was at it, she also wanted to taste what the food in the palace looked like. Naturally, Li Chen chose to satisfy her.

When they arrived at the main hall, many people had already arrived. Li Chen walked directly towards Xiong Ke. Although everyone was sizing Li Chen up, they did not dare to say anything.

Someone that could kill someone as strong as Nangong Jue was definitely not someone they could offend.

"What is the old Emperor planning?" Li Chen transmitted his voice to Xiong Ke.

"That's right. You only wanted me to stay. If I were to treat you like this, I'm afraid I'd be targeting the treasures on your body."

According to Xiong Ke's understanding, Wan Tongtian's thoughts were only this much.

The banquet started very quickly. Seeing that the grapevine was not interested, Li Chen asked him to walk around.

Wan Tongtian, standing at the top, had a smile on his face and said something to the eunuch beside him. The eunuch then nodded and left the room.

After knowing Wan Tongtian's purpose, Li Chen didn't care at all.

In the end, Wan Tongtian couldn't do anything to him.

He ate something at random and then waited for the message to come back. The practice was just a ritual.

A few moments later, a noise came from outside. A man who looked like a guard came in and reported, "Reporting to Your Majesty, we are capturing a thief in the Supreme Harmony Hall. May Your Majesty allow us to proceed further!"

Thief? Li Chen slightly frowned and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Wan Tongtian's eyes flashed with a bright light, he directly said: "Bring him up!"

"Yes sir!" The guard nodded and with a wave of his finger, two soldiers brought in a person who was tied up.

"Let me go! What are you doing! Why did you want to capture me!? "

Li Chen took a closer look. The person who had been caught was none other than Little Treasure! Seeing that everyone was staring at her, she felt wronged.

"A small rumor?" Li Chen went up and tried to untie Little Charmer. The two soldiers went up and tried to stop Li Chen, but they were all sent flying by the power of Li Chen's finger.

It was fine to deal with him, but in order to deal with him using a scimitar, there was no way that he would be polite to others.

"Li Chen, what are you doing!?" Wan Tongtian never thought that Li Chen would directly injure the guard before he even opened his mouth. The hall was in a mess for a moment.

Li Chen didn't even turn his head and only untied Little Charmer. When he saw the obvious palm print on Little Charmer's face, his face instantly turned cold: "Who did it!"

He didn't know what had happened, why did a group of people suddenly appear to say that she stole something, and unreasonably say that she stole something, and then tied her up? She only resisted and slapped her a few times. I didn't steal anything, they accused me! "

Since she was young, she had always been rather free. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. That was when she lacked the ability. With Li Chen by her side, she did not have any scruples and directly spoke out the person who slapped her.

"Yes, I will!" Li Chen's face was as gloomy as water as he directly said to Xiao Xun.

"Alright!" "Yes!" The little guy directly slapped his face. The little guy's heart was filled with anger, so naturally, his attack was quite heavy. As the slap landed, even his palm started to feel numb.

That guard was beaten into a daze because he never would have thought that Li Chen wouldn't even ask Wan Tongtian to attack him under the watchful eyes of the crowd. When he finally reacted, he said with a ferocious expression, "You actually dare to hit me!"

In the eyes of this guard, Little Charmer was just an ordinary manservant, and he was even a manservant caught by Wan Tongtian, so he naturally did not place him in his eyes.

However, to give himself a slap in the face of such an unworthy servant was naturally extremely embarrassing.

Li Chen shook his head, pulled over Little Charmer and said, "You hit me too lightly! This is how a person should be beaten! "

After he finished speaking, before Little Chun could see how Li Chen had attacked him, the man was sent flying and crashed into the table where Li Chen had been sitting. The wine immediately spilled all over the floor.

The man struggled to get up from the ground, but after a twitch, there was no response.

The person beside him went over to check his Qi, and then looked at Wan Tongtian with a frightened face and said: "Your Majesty. There's no air left! "

Wan Tongtian's face turned green and white. He looked at Li Chen and his voice became incomparably cold.

"What do you mean?"

"His Majesty has someone who doesn't understand what's going on. I'm just helping His Majesty deal with him!" Your Majesty, you don't need to take such a small matter to heart. " Li Chen faintly shook his sleeves as he looked at Wan Tongtian with an unchanging expression.

Wan Tongtian completely didn't expect that Li Chen would be so merciless when he spoke. A flash of anger flashed in his eyes before he quickly suppressed it.

"Whether or not you understand what's going on is something that should be done after I make my judgement. Killing people without regard for reason like you, where do you want me to go?" Wan Tongtian opened his mouth and said directly. The air was filled with the faint smell of gunpowder.
