Chapter 725 Sister, Save MeChapter 1437: The Father-in-Law and the House Slave

"I admit I have no proof, but isn't this slander, Your Majesty You know better than anyone."

Su Jin's pretty face was frosty, and she said in a stern voice: "It's fortunate that I have no evidence, otherwise, I would have ordered someone to take him from the Ge Lao Mansion!"

"You dare!"

Zhao Qinglan was completely enraged by Su Jinpa's repeated provocations. Her phoenix eyes narrowed with fury as she rebuked, "He is the emperor's father-in-law and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, a pillar of the imperial court, how can you be so insolent"

"My father is still the grand general in command, succeeding the God of War. He holds the General's Mansion and commands all troops nationwide. Can't I stand up to him"

Su Jinpa's words caused Zhao Rui beside him to gasp.

This, this… is way too awesome.

At this moment, within the main hall, Zhao Qinglan and Su Jinpa's auras were fully unleashed. The two women, appearing delicate and charming, with every semblance of gentleness, yet possessed an aura of chilling authority that was awe-inspiring.

Such a simple and direct confrontation left Zhao Rui trembling with fear from the sidelines.

She suddenly realized that she had always been in charge of everything, big and small, in the East Palace. It wasn't because the Crown Prince had said so, nor was it because Su Jinpa was incapable.

But... Su Jinpa really doesn't care about fighting with me for that bit of power.

Otherwise, based on Su Jinpa's current abilities, he would have taken control of himself in just a moment.

Neither of the two women spoke, breaking the silence. They stared at each other, the atmosphere thick with tension, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

Zhao Rui held her breath and kept silent, afraid that any sound she made would make her a victim of the disaster.

At this moment, it seems that any slight breeze or rustling could spark a great war between these two equally beautiful and equally dangerous women.

Just as Zhao Rui was sweating in her palms, frantically wondering what to do, a report came from outside, arriving without warning.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor wishes to see you."

Zhao Xuanji is here

Su Jinpan frowned, his mind racing.

But with Zhao Xuanji's arrival, the tense atmosphere between Su Jinpa and Zhao Qinglan instantly vanished.

Zhao Qinglan calmed her emotions and said, "I heard that on your wedding night, you, in your bridal attire, defied the storm, displaying the might of thunder amidst the pouring rain. At first, I didn't take it seriously. Now that I've witnessed your power, the rumors from then must have been true."

"I consider this to be praise from Your Majesty."

Su Jinpa bowed to Zhao Qinglan and resumed using her own name.

In the blink of an eye, Su Jinpa had already come up with a countermeasure.

"My humble greetings have been offered, and all that I wished to say has been spoken. Now that the father-in-law has arrived, it would be improper for me to remain standing for too long. Thus, I must take my leave."

Zhao Qinglan raised an eyebrow, her tone laced with meaning: “Why, just a moment ago, the Crown Princess was so aggressive, but now that the true master has arrived, the Crown Princess wants to back down first”

"Your Majesty need not provoke your servant."

Su Jin's expression was cold as she said, "As the crown prince's consort, I am not permitted to meet with officials from the previous dynasty without the crown prince's consent. Furthermore, everything I had to say has already been conveyed to Your Majesty. If the father-in-law needs to know anything, Your Majesty will naturally inform him."

“I refuse to meet my father-in-law not because I'm afraid of him, but because I don't want to. When we finally do meet, it will be the time when I personally take him down. Please tell your majesty that he should remember who gave him his glory and power. Even if he serves as a loyal servant, he is still just a servant. The true master is the Li imperial family.” bit irritated.Zhao Qinglan actually grabbed the hand that blocked her face......Seeing Zhao Qinglan acting like an ostrich on the spot, Li Chen almost laughed out loud.He never expected Zhao Qinglan...
