Xu Wei looked grateful and said respectfully: "Your Highness, don't worry, my ambition has not been fulfilled, and I have to save my life to serve Your Highness in my humble position."
"I know, please go down first. Staying here for any longer will increase your risk of exposure."
After Xu Wei left, Li Chen sat in the study and thought for a while before getting up and going back to rest.
The next day, when Li Chen got up and was still washing up, Sanbao came, looking very anxious.
"What's wrong?" Li Chen asked immediately when he saw Sanbao's unusual expression.
"Your Highness, something happened."
Sanbao only said one word, and Li Chen immediately asked the serving maid and Zhao Rui to leave together. He wiped his face and said, "Okay, tell me, what happened."
"A quarter of an hour ago, the main gate of Prince Zhao's Mansion suddenly opened wide. Prince Zhao walked out barefoot from the main gate, bowed three times, kowtowed five steps, and walked to Jingshan, saying that he wanted to pray for the Holy Master."
Li Chen stopped washing his face and sneered: "This is to make a name for yourself first. How will the capital react?"
"The people all went to watch. There were huge crowds of people. Such a large scale in a short period of time must be deliberate. But if it continues like this, public opinion will be completely uncontrollable."
"I can't control it now."
Li Chen said coldly: "It can be seen from the last morning when Li Yinhu took the lead in attacking that Zhao Xuanji deliberately wanted to push Li Yinhu to the world, and Zhao Xuanji has worked hard for so many years, and now he has pulled off such a big stunt.
, I’m afraid I’ve already thought out how to deal with any situation, Dongchang can’t control it, and I can’t control it either.”
Sanbao immediately lowered his head and said: "This slave is incompetent, please punish me, Your Highness."
"Now is not the time to talk about this."
Li Chen said calmly: "Do you still remember what I asked you to do after the last morning court?"
"Remember."
Sanbao immediately responded: "Your Highness asked your servant to carefully investigate King Zhao's misdeeds. Now I have discovered something... Last year, the death of the Ninth Prince was most likely related to King Zhao."
"Where's the evidence? I want ironclad proof." Li Chen said indifferently.
The Ninth Prince died suddenly, and this matter was closely related to Li Yinhu. This was something Li Chen knew when it happened.
But all this time, Li Chen had no evidence.
If Li Yinhu was dealt with privately, Li Chen could use the prince's power to suppress him without any evidence.
But now, Li Yinhu is no longer the eighth prince he was back then. Zhao Xuanji is standing next to him. It is no longer feasible to use force to suppress him.
"There is a witness."
Sanbao said anxiously: "The Ninth Prince was so frightened that day that he summoned Dr. He from the Imperial Hospital for treatment. When King Zhao went to visit and save the prince, Dr. He was present."
"King Zhao asked Dr. He to leave, but Dr. He was worried that the Ninth Prince's illness would relapse, which frightened King Zhao, so he did not leave directly, but hid outside the door. This also allowed him to peek into the whole story of King Zhao's attack on the Ninth Prince.
process."
Li Chen stared at Sanbao and asked in a deep voice: "Why didn't Dr. He say anything at that time?"
Sanbao smiled bitterly and said: "This matter involves the princes killing each other. Once it is confirmed that it is a big deal, he will be frightened. He dare not speak more. For fear of causing trouble, he will keep silent and tell no one that he knows anything."
"This time, it was an informant placed by Dongchang in Dr. He's mansion who heard Dr. He's drunken words and came to report it."
"Where are the others?" Li Chen asked.
"Already detained."
"Take it to Xi Zheng Palace."
He threw away the towel in his hand expressionlessly.
With a bang, the towel hit the copper basin and splashed countless water.
