Chapter 96: Sharing the Prince’s Worry

Liu Ruxu seemed to have bumped into some hell prince. She even forgot to take the wooden ruler with her and immediately fled the East Palace with a group of people.

As soon as the other party left, Li Yunxing's eyes became even more gloomy and terrifying.

Now that there is a traitor in the East Palace, it has been confirmed. What happened last night, Liu Ruxu came with his troops early this morning.

"Jin Xi." Li Yunxing whispered.

"My servant is here." The eunuch Jinxi behind him hurriedly walked out.

He is the most trusted person in the East Palace. Usually only he can hear his master calling him, and no one else can.

Moreover, in this situation, he knew very well what his master was going to do.

He knew that once his master took action, he would never be left alive.

"Ask everyone in the East Palace to come outside and wait for orders. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy." Li Yunxing finished speaking indifferently.

He walked slowly towards the study. At this moment, his eyes became deeper and colder.

"Yes." Jinxi quickly stepped back.

The so-called 'rebellion' in the East Palace is not difficult to find out.

When Su Zhaoyang was beaten, Li Yunxing was not on guard, and it was difficult for everyone in the East Palace to find evidence.

However, the leakage of secrets at this time became the basis for Li Yunxing's attack, and he succeeded in killing two birds with one stone.

In just one stick of incense, nearly fifty people from the East Palace came outside the hall, and even the saint Su Miaoxue was announced.

It's just that their status is different. She stood aside with her eyes lowered, unable to see her emotions clearly.

In the main hall of the East Palace, Li Yun sat happily on the Grand Master's chair, his face gloomy and terrifying.

Everyone was kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe. The entire East Palace was lifeless, as if a storm was coming.

Li Yunxing folded his hands together and placed them on his knees. His long white nails clicked lightly on the armrests, making a 'click-click' sound.

"Which one of you told me who sent the news to the queen?" he asked indifferently.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one answered.

Su Miaoxue raised her eyes slightly, glanced around, and finally landed on Li Yunxing, but she immediately avoided it.

"I'm telling you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, from last night to today, the only people who came in and out of the East Palace were these five people."

Lou Weibo stepped forward and slipped the three people out.

"They are the eunuch Jinlu who is responsible for serving the dishes, the two women Bilian and Bihe who are in charge of serving dishes, and the two guards who take over the shift."

As soon as Jinlu was lifted up and slipped out, he was trembling with fear and couldn't even speak: "Your Majesty... Your Highness Mingjian... I have never..."

Bang! Before he could finish his words, Lou Weibo raised his hand and slapped him hard.

Jin Lu was immediately knocked several meters away. He vomited blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.

Bi Lian and Bi He exclaimed, hugging each other and shivering, not even daring to raise their heads.

"Tell me! Who among the five of you is giving the information to the outside world?" Lou Weibo is a guard with a sword. He is good at martial arts and has a hot temper.

He rushed towards Bi Lian and Bi He again, stretched out his hand to grab their necks and lifted them up.

Bilian Birou had never seen such a posture before. She was already frightened and shook her head desperately to beg for mercy.

"Your Highness, please spare your life! This slave has been wronged!"

"Your Highness..."

Li Yunxing frowned slightly and his eyes flickered.

He could directly execute five people, but he would rather kill them by mistake than let them go.

But the East Palace belongs to him from now on. It doesn't matter if these people die, but if it affects his majesty and reputation, the gain outweighs the loss.

After all, if you really want to deal with them, you only need to send a few secret guards.

Lou Weibo was still using force to oppress, but the five people just kept begging for mercy and did not admit it.

"Lou Weibo, stop." Li Yunxing suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Lou Weibo let go of the two Huan girls, took half a step aside, and respectfully waited for his master's instructions.

His words made everyone heave a sigh of relief. Bilian and Bihe almost fainted because they couldn't bear it anymore.

"If you tell the truth, I can keep your whole body."

"But if you don't tell me, my life will be worse than death under my custody."

He smiled coldly. His laughter was like a demon from hell, making people shudder.

"Your Highness, we two brothers were the guards on duty at the outer court of the East Palace last night. I really don't know what happened last night. After our shift this morning, we went directly back to the Guards Mansion to rest."

The two of them knelt on the ground and explained tremblingly.

"Your Highness, we did not come into contact with anyone else last night. Please be aware of this." Another man knelt down.

Lou Weibo nodded. He was on duty last night and was with these two people. He did not do anything deviant.

On the other side, Bilian and Bihe also explained fearfully, "The two of us were ordered to go to the Clothing Bureau to wash His Highness the Crown Prince's clothes today."

"Your Highness is aware of this! Although we are from the daughter's family, we are not as stupid as pigs. How could we betray the East Palace? I hope Your Highness will be aware of this." Bi Lian cried.

Bihe kept his head buried and did not dare to speak.

"Prince...His Highness...servant..."

"What about you, tell me." Li Yunxing stared at the little eunuch and turned to look at him, his tone cold.

Jin Lu is a young eunuch, less than twelve years old. He is kneeling on the ground and kowtows, his body shaking violently.

The little eunuch swallowed his throat and stammered: "Your Highness, last night Eunuch Jinxi told me that the East Palace must... be diligent and frugal, so I made my own decision and wanted to go... to the imperial dining room to let them know.

Prepare meals today so as not to... delay His Highness the Crown Prince's rest."

After Jin Lu finished speaking, his head was dripping with cold sweat, and he secretly glanced at Li Yunxing.

Seeing his stern face, he wondered if he had guessed what he meant, and he was extremely frightened.

Jin Xi also looked like he hated iron, but Jin Lu was a young eunuch he promoted. He was usually smart and sensible, but he didn't expect to do such a stupid thing.

"Jinlu, you are confused!" Jinxi scolded sadly.

Jinlu looked regretful, lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.

Li Yunxing looked at the five people with ice-cold eyes.

"Since you are not willing to admit it, then send it to Tingwei Mansion and let them handle it." He said coldly, his tone firm and decisive, without any warmth at all.

"Your Highness, no."

At this time, Su Miaoxue hurriedly tried to dissuade her, and she walked up to Li Yunxing.

"Your Highness, if you really hand over the five of them to Tingwei's Mansion for interrogation, wouldn't it mean that five lives will be taken to Tingwei's Mansion?"

Su Miaoxue continued: "If His Highness the Crown Prince believes in me, I can help the Crown Prince find the person who secretly delivered the letter."

Li Yunxing turned his head to look at Su Miaoxue, seeming to be considering the authenticity of her words.

What surprised him even more was that Su Miaoxue actually took care of this matter. Shouldn't she help cover the Queen's spy?

"Your Highness, I can guarantee that I will definitely be able to uncover the mastermind behind this and relieve His Highness the Crown Prince's worries." Su Miaoxue said sincerely.
