"The late emperor was not optimistic about the current emperor at first, but at that time, the emperor was already old and realized that he would not be alive for long. He had to immediately determine the position of the successor to the throne, so the emperor came into consideration."
"But the Holy Emperor's foundation in the court was not as deep as that of the other princes. The late emperor had to eliminate a group of high-ranking ministers to pave the way for the Holy Emperor."
"Otherwise, if one operation is not done well, the empire will be in turmoil or even civil strife."
"As for the Lunar New Year case, the late emperor actually just raised the issue, and all subsequent arrangements were completed by Zhao Xuanji alone."
"The ruthlessness of his attacks and the cunning angles of his attacks shocked even the late emperor. The layout was a dead end for Lin Zhibao, and no one expected that Zhao Xuanji, who was most loyal to Lin Zhibao, would actually
He had already started to take action in advance, as if he knew that the late emperor must eradicate Lin Zhibao."
"Until his death, Lin Zhibao could not figure out why he ended up dying at the hands of the person he trusted most."
"It is precisely for this reason that the late emperor appointed Zhao Xuanji to take over Lin Zhibao's position and assist the emperor in his dynasty."
"It was this New Year's Eve case that allowed the world to see Zhao Xuanji's ruthlessness and decisiveness, and the depth of his plan was astonishing."
Sanbao took a breath after saying this, raised his head and said solemnly to Li Chen: "So Your Highness, I think it is absolutely possible that Zhao Xuanji has actually planted his people around Your Highness."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Li Chen slowly tapped his fingers on the table.
"So who do you think is most likely to be the mole?"
Sanbao lowered his head and replied: "Your Highness, please forgive me."
Li Chen didn't care.
If Sanbao knew about this matter, he would have reported it long ago.
And if he didn't report it, it meant he didn't know. Since he didn't know, he would never make random guesses, even if he had a few questionable candidates in mind.
Once you say something wrong, what impression will it leave in your mind?
Even if he was right, would he be suspicious of him? Why didn't he tell him earlier if he had suspicions?
Since it is wrong whether you say it right or wrong, then the most correct choice for Sanbao is to say nothing.
Faces appeared one by one in Li Chen's mind.
Xu Changqing, Guan Zhiwei, Wan Jiaojiao, Xu Wei, Sanbao, Tan Taijingzhi, Su Zhenting, Zhao Rui, Zhao Heshan, Zhou Pingan, He Kun, Zheng Baorong...
Among these people, the only one who can be completely excluded is Xu Wei.
Others...even including Sanbao and Su Zhenting, Li Chen didn't completely believe it.
Among them, Wan Jiaojiao spends the most time with him, and he is the least defensive about her.
If Wan Jiaojiao is a traitor, then Zhao Xuanji's knife may have been put to his neck.
It was so quiet inside Xi Zheng Palace that you could hear a pin drop.
But it is in this silence that the pressure is greatest.
Sanbao stood there with his head bent and bowed. He didn't dare to move unless Li Chen opened his mouth.
No matter how much he was thinking, he could not predict what His Highness the Crown Prince not far in front of him was thinking at this moment.
And this kind of inability to guess His Highness the Crown Prince's thoughts has become more and more frequent as His Highness the Crown Prince's majesty grows.
I don't know how much time passed before Li Chen opened his mouth and broke the silence.
"Focus on these four people. I want to know what they do every day, who they meet, and even what they eat for three meals a day. You must not let go of any clues. You are personally responsible for this matter.
