Li Chen stopped Zhao Rui and explained: "It's just a tear in the clothes. It didn't really hurt the body. It just looks more dangerous."
After hearing this, Zhao Rui came forward to check in person, and saw that Li Chen's chest skin was intact through the damaged areas of his clothes, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
But just after he was relieved, Zhao Rui sternly said to the surrounding guards: "There are so many of you, but you can't protect His Highness, and even let His Highness fall into such a dangerous situation, what's the use of you!? Each and every one of you!"
They all deserve to die!"
Although Zhao Rui is only the crown prince's concubine, Zhao Rui has always had the final say in the internal affairs of the East Palace.
Even after Crown Princess Su Jinpa married into the East Palace, she did not interfere with any of Zhao Rui's rights. The Crown Prince even said personally that the Crown Prince's concubine had the right to assist in managing the harem, so Zhao Rui's prestige was still very high in the hearts of the guards.
powerful.
Now Zhao Rui scolded and made all the guards kneel down.
"It is unfavorable for me to protect you because of my humble position. Please punish me, Your Highness, the Crown Prince and the Empress."
Zhao Ruifeng's eyes were full of evil, and she said angrily: "His Royal Highness, the body of thousands of gold, how can he be safe under the protection of you guys? You deserve to be punished!"
"The guards who are on duty today will all be fined for one month. After the shift is over, they will no longer be allowed to participate in His Highness's personal protection mission. They will all be transferred to patrol outside the East Palace, and additional guards will be selected from among the palace guards to replace them."
Zhao Rui's punishment was handed down. Although the guards felt aggrieved, it was a fact that the escort was unfavorable. To be honest, if something went wrong with Li Chen today, every one of them present would be killed.
So faced with such punishment, they had no choice but to accept it.
"Okay, calm down, I'm not okay."
Li Chen waited until Zhao Rui finished speaking before speaking to comfort him.
Zhao Rui was giving orders before. As the prince, he could stop him, but it was not necessary.
At first glance, these guards were indeed too careless.
Secondly, it was impossible for Li Chen to hurt Zhao Rui's face for them.
If Zhao Rui wanted to punish him and Li Chen stopped him, who would take Zhao Rui's orders seriously in the future? His prestige would be completely destroyed.
Zhao Rui pursed her lips and said to Li Chen: "Your Highness, I am just worried about you."
"Isn't this okay?"
Li Chen took Zhao Rui's hand and said with a smile: "Let's go into the palace."
In the Baihua Palace, Li Chen sat down and ordered someone to escort the maid up.
Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the palace maid who was being forced to the ground and still looking at him with a look of resentment.
After the assassination, on the way to Baihua Palace, he kept thinking about who sent this palace maid.
The conclusion is possible for anyone.
Zhao Xuanji should be the number one suspect, but he is the least likely.
Having fought against each other so many times, Zhao Xuanji would not be so hasty. The probability of success by sending such a palace maid to assassinate him was really low.
Moreover, at this time, Zhao Xuanji was working hard to gather the power of Shangshu Province in an attempt to restore his former glory. He should not do such a foolish thing.
After Zhao Xuanji is eliminated, the possibility of the remaining people or forces is very high.
King Wen, King Ning, or even Yelu Shenxuan are all possible.
"Tell me, who ordered you."
Li Chen said indifferently: "You can choose not to say it, but this is your last chance. If you say it, I can give you a happy life. If you don't say it, I guarantee that you will be free from pain after experiencing the greatest pain in the world."
, in the endless torture, I can’t survive but I can’t even die.”
