Chapter 38: What I Learned from Books

al Court.Li Chen returned with Chen Tong, followed by Su Zhen Ting."How long has it been" Li Chen asked, not even having time to take a sip of his tea.Chen Tong's face was grave. "The news was relayed...Chapter 38: What I Learned From Books

Li Chen smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently rubbed Zhao Rui's soft and smooth face with the palm of his hand. "For those who have committed heinous crimes, simply killing them would be too cheap for them. Only by letting them experience fear deep in their bones, making them taste that even death becomes a longing, can we maximize their deterrence and make others understand the price of doing wrong."

Zhao Rui trembled in her heart, always feeling that Li Chen's words were veiled. She cautiously asked: "Your Highness, will you ever use this kind of punishment on me one day"

Li Chen laughed and said, "Where did you hear that This palace's Crown Princess is so alluring, how could this palace bear to part with her"

As he was speaking, Li Chen reached out with one hand and grasped Zhao Rui's soft, delicate hand.

Zhao Rui's breathing became increasingly rapid, though she had gone through this many times before, the instinct of a woman still made Zhao Rui subconsciously want to avoid this domineering and brutal invasion.

She wanted to retreat, but Li Chen seemed to have seen through her thoughts long ago. He followed up a step, causing Zhao Rui not only to fail to escape successfully but also to be pushed closer to Li Chen.

Zhao Rui's chest was pressed against Li Chen, their noses almost touching. They could clearly feel each other's breath, two hot breaths entwining and becoming indistinguishable from one another.

"Prince..."

Zhao Rui let out a startled cry, her voice soft and pleading with a hint of desperation.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"This palace saw some novel things in a book and wanted to tell you about them."

Then, Li Chen leaned into Zhao Rui's ear and whispered something to her.

Only to see Zhao Rui's pretty face visibly flushed, and finally she widened her eyes, saying in disbelief, "This, this can also work"

"Your Highness, you're reading this kind of book!" Zhao Rui exclaimed in embarrassment and shock.

Li Chen let out a dry cough. This wasn't something you'd see in a book, was it Having been spoiled by the vivid videos of the modern world before his time travel, he couldn't appreciate the lifeless brushstrokes of these ancient paintings.

Even Li Chen wouldn't likely explain these things to Zhao Rui.

"Don't ask so many questions, let's get down to business."

Li Chen said, he lifted Zhao Rui in his arms at the waist and let out a soft sigh. Zhao Rui knew what was going to happen next and bit her lip. She thought to herself that it wasn't the first time anyway. Besides, with Li Chen's personality, if he didn't get his way, he wouldn't let it go. It might as well be a complete break.

This will also make him even more enamored with himself, and if that day truly arrives in the future, it will be all the easier to take action.

Thus thinking, Zhao Rui's resistance weakened.

Pressing on Zhao Rui's body, Li Chen felt Zhao Rui's change. He lowered his head and pressed against Zhao Rui's lips, smiling softly: "Have you figured it out"

Zhao Rui turned her head and said, "Your Highness is domineering, how dare a concubine not understand"

This spiteful remark, however, did not make Li Chen feel annoyed.

I even think Zhao Rui's words make sense.

If it weren't for the fact that no one in this world dared to refuse his authority, what would be the point of working himself to death and risking his life fighting Zhao Xuanji and the others
