"The prince is extremely suspicious. I am similar in age to him and have already done so many things. Only one of us can survive. The winner takes all!"
Li Yinhu had already considered this issue. He said in a deep voice: "Being born into the royal family and being a male, there is only one end for us, either to become the biggest winner or to die."
When Li Yinhu finished speaking, there was suddenly a burst of fire from the direction of the Prison Department of the Capital City, and faint shouts of killing could be heard.
The location of Prince Zhao's Mansion is far away from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but even so, one can clearly see that the corner of the sky is dyed red by the fire, which shows how ferocious the fire is there.
The cries of death were gradually drowned out by the sound of gongs and drums to extinguish fires. The capital city, which had just calmed down, began to boil again.
This firelight illuminated half of the capital, and it was naturally visible from the East Palace.
Li Chen even went up to the roof specially.
Ever since he picked up a saint on the roof on New Year's Eve, Li Chen especially liked going to the roof, even though there was nothing there.
There used to be some bird droppings on the roof, but since Li Chen discovered that Hai Dongqing likes to fly in the sky and doesn't like being locked in a cage, and lets it fly around the East Palace on weekdays, even the birds no longer dare to approach the East Palace.
"The momentum is building."
Holding his hands, Li Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the firelight on the horizon, and said lightly.
Behind him, Sanbao bowed slightly and said flatteringly: "Your Highness has a wonderful plan."
"This is Zhou Ping'an's idea. It's him who wants to make a clever plan. I don't want to take credit from others."
Sanbao thought for a while and said, "Master Zhou seems to have a lot of experience in punishment."
With that said, Sanbao told what he had seen and heard in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment today.
This matter is a trivial matter, but Sanbao wants to make his attitude clear and let His Highness know that he has no secrets in front of His Highness.
After hearing this, Li Chen smiled and said: "He doesn't have any knowledge about punishment, but he sees through people's hearts."
"People all have weaknesses."
"Sambo, do you know what your weakness is?"
Sanbao said respectfully: "This servant is always weak in front of His Highness."
Shaking his head, Li Chen said: "Your weakness is that you are too experienced. You have served my father and now you serve me. You know in your heart that after I ascend the throne, you will be the first person to be replaced.
Because you know too many things."
Sanbao stood bent over Li Chen, standing in the cold wind, but cold sweat broke out on his face.
"But don't worry."
Li Chen said calmly: "Since I have told you frankly and openly, I will naturally give you some relief and you can die in peace."
Sanbao's tense body suddenly relaxed. He knew that his loyal performance and Wan Jiaojiao's existence all played a role in allowing him to retire safely.
"Slave, please thank His Highness the Crown Prince."
In the space of a few words, the fire in the sky not only did not decrease, but actually grew bigger and bigger.
At this moment, someone hurriedly came to report.
"Your Highness, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment has been robbed! The remnants of the White Lotus Sect have been rescued. Please give your order!"
Li Chen and Sanbao looked at each other and smiled. He turned around and said, "How can this be unreasonable? Immediately summon the Minister of Punishment, Zhou Ping'an, to see you!"
As soon as the words were spoken, another report came.
"Your Highness, King Zhao, and Minister of Punishment Zhou Ping'an are asking for an audience outside the palace!"
