After a while, the man came out of the room refreshed and paid special attention to Xiao Taohong's room.
Hearing that Xu Wei was still inside and the madam had arrived, the two were bargaining to redeem Xiao Taohong's life.
Feeling that there was no need to wait any longer, he immediately left Yichun Court and returned to the palace to report what he had seen.
But he didn't know that in Xiao Taohong's room that he had been eavesdropping on, the Madam and Xiao Taohong were indeed there, but the other person was a burly middle-aged man, and the voice coming out of his mouth was none other than Xu Wei's.
This was fake and no one noticed it.
The real Xu Wei is now in the Xi Zheng Hall of the East Palace.
"Your Highness, what happened today, my subordinates have completely gained the trust of King Zhao, and King Zhao is certain that it was the White Lotus Sect who assassinated him. Everything is going as planned."
That's right, everything today is a game.
A plan carefully prepared by Li Chen to target Li Yinhu.
Faced with Li Yinhu, who had repeatedly tried to kill himself, how could Li Chen make him happy?
"Good."
Li Chen looked at Xu Wei's weak appearance, waved his hand and said: "Give me a seat."
"The assassination is fake, but the injuries you suffered are real. There is no need to be so polite at this time."
Li Chen's words moved Xu Wei's face.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Xu Wei, who did not refuse, sat down.
Along the way, he, who was already weak, could no longer bear it.
"King Zhao has handed over all the internal and external defense of the palace to his subordinates. If this continues, my subordinates are sure to become King Zhao's true confidants and learn all his secrets."
Li Chen said: "Li Yinhu is a ruthless and cautious person. If you want to fully gain his trust, this is not enough. It will take time to polish it. But it doesn't matter. I still have time."
"Rather than targeting Li Yinhu, the more important thing for you is to know whether there are any people or forces around him that we don't know about that are involved in helping him."
Xu Wei nodded and said: "I understand."
"You did a great job today. What reward do you want?" Li Chen asked.
Xu Wei looked resolute and said: "Your Highness is very kind to your subordinates. If it weren't for Your Highness, I would be just a janitor. I don't dare to be demanding anymore."
"This is not demanding. You will be rewarded for your merits and punished for your mistakes. This is my employment habit."
Li Chen smiled and said: "Now that you are still with King Zhao, I will not give you any reward. I will give it to you when you return in the future."
"However, I can let you know in advance that by doing good work for me, not only will you be able to prosper, but your people will also be able to enjoy the blessings."
"I know that you have a biological brother who is still working as a farmer at home. However, he was affected by the disaster and is now living a very difficult life. I have sent people to bring your parents and brother to the capital, and someone will settle them. As for you,
Brother, I asked him to go to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to learn and work under him. With General Su taking care of him, I will not be in a loss for him."
Li Chen's words made Xu Wei so excited that he didn't care about the wounds on his body. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Highness has been so kind and virtuous, and Xu Wei has nothing to repay."
"Doing things well is the best reward for me."
Li Chen comforted Xu Wei, and then ordered people to send Xu Wei back.
After seeing Xu Wei off, Li Chen was in a good mood.
After walking out of the Xi Zheng Palace, he was about to go to the Baihua Palace to spend a romantic night holding the beauty in his arms, but he saw a man dressed in white, standing like a ghost in the dark, looking at him quietly.
