Zheng Baorong opened his mouth, but with a frightened expression, he still did not dare to reply.
There was such a big mess here. As the governor of the capital, how could he know about it?
In fact, I already knew it.
Yesterday, he received news that a group of Liao people were robbing civilian girls here.
But Zheng Baorong didn't dare to take care of it, especially after knowing that these Liao people had high status, he didn't dare to take care of it even more.
So Zheng Baorong turned a blind eye and allowed the matter to ferment to this point.
Until today, when I learned that there was a conflict between people from Dongchang and this group of Liao people, Zheng Baorong had to step in to solve the problem. But as soon as he came here and saw Li Chen, Zheng Baorong's claws became numb.
He didn't know how Li Chen would punish him.
What's more, now he is more afraid of Li Chen than before.
If the fear of Li Chen before was only due to Li Chen's identity and power, now there is an added layer of blood-stained terror.
The son of the prince of Liao!
That is the royal family of Liao Kingdom!
Just cut it off!
Just cut it off!
To this day, the image of Li Chen holding an embroidered spring knife in his hand, and the knife falling on the person's head and rising up, is still frozen in Zheng Baorong's mind, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
But anyway, it’s so cool!
"Your Highness, Weichen..."
"No need to say more."
Li Chen waved his hand, stood up and got on the carriage, and said calmly: "You can't do anything about this matter even if you want to. Although it is certainly wrong to protect yourself wisely, it is not necessarily wrong, so just take care of yourself."
After saying this, Li Chen lowered the curtain, and the carriage drove toward the East Palace surrounded by royal guards.
Zheng Baorong looked at the carriage leaving, feeling disappointed.
Although His Highness did not blame, this was already the best result, but for some reason, Zheng Baorong always felt that he had missed some important opportunity.
In the carriage, Li Chen felt a little physiologically exhausted after going through the ups and downs.
He closed his eyes and meditated, but he didn't stop thinking.
Yelu Qiming deserves to be killed, and Li Chen will never let him go.
But now, we need to consider the consequences, and the mess needs to be cleaned up.
As for Zheng Baorong...
As Li Chen said to him personally, it was not necessarily his fault to protect himself wisely, but it was enough to prove that Zheng Baorong's moral character and character were not in line with Li Chen's expectations.
It's just that he still has some ability. After the sweet potato thing is promoted, Zheng Baorong will be in charge of this aspect, and don't think too much about the rest.
As a result, Zheng Baorong's political life can be said to be over.
Li Chen did not punish him, but the decision he made was the cruelest punishment.
Staggering, the carriage has arrived at the East Palace.
After getting up and returning to the East Palace, Li Chen saw the frightened expressions on Zhao Rui and Wan Jiaojiao's faces. Only then did Li Chen realize that he was stained with blood, quite a lot, and a large area of his chest was stained all the way to his waist.
These are all the blood of Yelu Qiming.
"Has Your Highness ever been injured?"
Zhao Rui cleverly did not ask Li Chen what he was doing, but asked about Li Chen's physical condition.
"It's not my blood, and it's not injured, so it's okay."
Li Chen gave Zhao Rui a heart-warming smile, picked up the tea cup and took two sips. Wan Jiaojiao came forward and said, "Servant, please change your clothes."
"No."
Li Chen put down his teacup and waved his hand, saying, "We'll talk about it after we meet the person."
Someone coming?
Zhao Rui and Wan Jiaojiao were both a little surprised. They didn't hear anyone reporting that they wanted to see His Highness the Crown Prince.
At this moment, an announcement came from outside.
"Your Highness, Cabinet Scholars Zhao Xuanji, Wang Tenghuan, and General Su Zhenting of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion are requesting an audience outside the palace."
