possible!The strength of the White Lotus Sect, they had already tested it long ago. With such a tight net, how could the prince possibly survive!What a loser!A bunch of useless trash who couldn't even...Chapter 504: The Complaint Letter

After a beating, Zhao Xuanji sent Li Yinhou away.

Although he loathed Li Yinhǔ intensely, the current situation forced him to watch helplessly as Donggong cornered Li Yinhǔ.

As he had previously analyzed to Li Yinhǔ, of all the current princes, only Li Yinhǔ was suitable for support.

But Li Yinhu's personality is gloomy and vicious, not the most perfect choice for a puppet.

The best puppet is the cowardly Ninth Prince.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xuanji initially chose to cultivate the Ninth Prince instead of the Eighth Prince.

It is a pity that the Ninth Prince has died, leaving only Li Yinhu. There is no other choice.

However, despite this reality, Zhao Xuanji had realized from past events that Li Yinhou was absolutely not a reliable and stable choice. Therefore, he must keep his options open.

He rose and went to the desk behind him. He wrote a petition on behalf of Li Yinhǔ's request for power. After drying the ink, he put it aside and then opened the drawer. Inside lay an invitation.

The invitation letter, presented by the prince of King Wen, expressed respectful and polite words but had been left in Zhao Xuanji's drawer for two days.

Taking the invitation, Zhao Xuanji slowly said: "Prince, King Zhao, there are precedents in ancient times of brothers succeeding each other. This throne is not something that only the emperor's own children can occupy. The emperor's own brothers, even nephews, also carry the royal bloodline. Don't force me to take this step."

......

The next day, Li Chen looked at the imperial decree sent by the cabinet, proposing that King Zhao, Li Yinhu, should lead the charge to purge the White Lotus sect from Zhili and beidali. He sneered and tossed it aside.

"Throw it in the trash."

Hearing Li Chen's displeased order, Wan Jiaojiao picked up the imperial edict. Having learned her lesson, she didn't dare to look at its contents, only obediently placing it in the trash...

Zhao Xuanji asked Li Yinhu for power, and Li Chen could guess with his buttocks that Li Yinhu must have gone to find Zhao Xuanji overnight.

He didn't know how they had conducted their transaction, but the current situation proved that they had allied themselves again.

This was not unexpected.

Having a common enemy, they should band together.

Despite previous assassination attempts, what kind of person is Zhao Xuanji

If such a person were easily swayed by personal feelings, they would have been torn to shreds decades ago in the treacherous and dangerous political arena, leaving nothing but bones.

But, just a single memorial to gain power

It was truly a dream.

He didn't go to all this trouble setting things up just for this one letter. He wanted more from Zhao Xuanji.

At this time, Zhou Ping'an came to see him.

"Your humble servant, Zhou Ping'an, bows before Your Highness."

Before Zhou Ping could finish his greeting and bow, Li Chen waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities. Just tell me, what's the matter You did a good job last night, didn't you come to collect your reward"

"It is my duty to serve Your Highness, and when matters are accomplished successfully, I trust that you will bestow rewards as you see fit. As for requesting favors or rewards, such a thing would never occur to me." Zhou Ping'an replied calmly and confidently.

Chuckling lightly, Li Chen said, "This palace was only joking. You take it so seriously, making this palace seem uninteresting. Just get to the point."

Zhou Ping'an took out a very thick envelope from his bosom and said, "Today, as I was on duty at the Ministry of Justice, I found an envelope deliberately placed in an obvious place on my desk. After opening it, I discovered that it was a report letter. The contents listed were horrifying."an and Wu Qing Cang looked at each other, they knew that it would be easy to kill the four people led by Fu Huai Yuan, but the real difficulty lay in dealing with the aftermath which was just beginnin...
