careful thought and dare not be negligent. Therefore, I have prepared a detailed plan for disaster relief and a report. Please review it, Your Highness. If there are any shortcomings, my younger brot...Chapter 1376 Playing the Poor Card

"This time, Your Highness can see with your own eyes the bitter cold of the Northwest region. For the people of the Northwest, it is a great blessing. After returning, I hope Your Highness will take good care of the people in the Northwest region."

Li Chen absentmindedly stroked the soft and supple thigh of the woman beside him, seemingly asking casually: "How does Wang Shu want this palace to take care of you"

"Tax reduction and increased funding."

Wen Wang's face was filled with anguish. He sighed deeply and said, "The people in the northwest are suffering terribly."

At this moment, everyone in the room raised their hands and said, "Your Highness is righteous, please grant us your presence."

Li Chen glanced at them, saying nothing.

Playing the victim and claiming poverty, this tactic is overused but undeniably effective.

Li Chen couldn't refuse outright.

To refuse is to ignore the suffering of the people in the northwest as spoken by King Wen. If this gets out, how will the people of the northwest view it What will they think

As Ning Wang was about to roast Li Chen over the fire, Xiaochuanzi, who stood behind Li Chen, suddenly cried out in pain.

A cup was knocked over by Xiao Wa and shattered on the ground.

A sudden noise interrupted King Ning's routine.

King Ning's heart blazed with anger. He immediately looked at Xiaozi, a murderous glint in his eyes.

Little Xiaozi's face turned pale with fright. He hurriedly circled around to the front, knelt on the ground and kowtowed incessantly to Li Chen, "This servant deserves death, this servant deserves death, this servant was simply too tired, he accidentally fell asleep. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Li Chen's face darkened, and he rebuked, "Good for nothing! You only know how to embarrass this palace. Scram!"

Little stream rushed downstairs quickly.

Li Chen turned his head and chuckled at King Ning, saying: "The little eunuchs around me haven't seen much of the world, and after these days of travel by boat and carriage, they are indeed tired. Why don't we stop here for today"

From the Prince Ning crying poverty and playing the victim, uniting a number of influential figures from the feudal lords to put Li Chen on the fire, to Xiaozi creating a minor accident, to Li Chen smoothly coming down from the fire, everything happened in a flash. People who reacted slowly didn't even come back to their senses.

King Ning remained composed and said softly, "I apologize for the oversight. Your Highness must be weary from your journey. Please rest in the chamber I have prepared for you."

When Li Chen heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Then it's settled. Let's go our separate ways."

King Ning glanced at the woman beside Li Chen and smiled, "Your Highness, she..."

"Let's talk another day."

Li Chen waved his hand, though he would have liked to reschedule, the timing was simply not right at the moment.

Acting is almost done, for real though, what will Li Chen do with him Bring him back or not

Whether it's there or not, it just bothers me.

To be honest, the girl is pretty, but there are many beauties around him. Even Wan Jiaojiao isn't inferior to her, let alone Gong Huiyu, and those three top-tier beauties in the capital city completely overshadow her. So Li Chen doesn't feel bad at all.

"I'm so tired today, I can't play anymore."

Li Chen's words were straightforward, but Ning Wang did not insist. He simply personally sent Li Chen back to the prepared sleeping hall.

"Uncle Wang, you should rest early as well. Tomorrow morning, this palace will have a more detailed conversation with Uncle Wang." Li Chen politely said to King Ning.

King Ning bowed his hands and said a few polite words before withdrawing.

As soon as Ning Wang turned around, the smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an air of profound gloominess.

He put on such a good show, but in the end, he got nothing.s. They had never made a mistake in all these years of service.Since this message has reached your ears, it must be absolutely true.Zhao Xuanji didn't make a sound, and the man didn't dare to speak ei...
