lowed the crown prince's gaze to Zhao Xuanji.Zhaoxuanji's expression was calm, he didn't know what he was thinking.At this time, Zhao Qinglan spoke: "Your Highness, according to tradition, vassal king...Chapter 145 Brother Will Help You Avenge Your Wrath

In the dimly lit palace, Li Yinhu's face was hidden in the alternating light and shadow cast by the flickering candles.

The parrot raised its head, able to only see Li Yinhu's face half-lit by the candlelight. The interplay of light and shadow made the once incredibly familiar face appear so strange at this moment.

The parrot felt a chill run down its spine.

"Brother, what are you saying I... I don't quite understand."

"It's nothing."

Li Yinhu smiled gently and said, "I was just remembering some things from the past."

"You're so naive, you don't understand anything. You're cowardly and weak-willed. The only good thing about you is that you're honest and hardworking in your studies, but all of this isn't even worthy of the qualities of a royal descendant in my eyes. That's why they chose you."

Lee Yinhu's smile widened, he said, "As for me, I worked so hard, showing them my best side, just to get them to look at me more. I wanted to tell them, I will be much more obedient than you, and I know how to be a pawn. But..."

Li Yinhu's expression gradually became ferocious, "But they don't give us a chance!"

His palm slid down gradually, reaching Li Wu's neck. With an incredibly complex tone, Li Yinhu said: "You know, back then, how much I envied you You were just a scholar, yet you were born into the imperial family. Originally, you wouldn't have achieved anything in life, and you might even have died young in this cruel environment of power struggles. But because of your weakness and cowardice, you got the opportunity I had always dreamed of!"

The parrot trembled all over.

He felt that Li Yinhu's hand on his neck was ice-cold, like a corpse, with no warmth whatsoever.

This feeling of being watched made Li Wu's skin crawl.

"Brother, I don't know, I don't know any of this, and I don't want it. You can have it all, everything!"

Hearing Li Wu's words, Li Yinhu chuckled softly: "Well behaved, you are truly my good brother...... Rest assured, I will definitely grab that position, and I will also help you avenge your revenge."

Before Li Wu could even show a look of terror on his face, Li Yinhu suddenly pulled out a jet-black insect the size of a bee from his sleeve and shoved it straight into Li Wu's mouth.

Then Li Yinhu tightly blocked Li Wu's mouth, preventing him from spitting out the insects.

Under the immense terror, Li Wu frantically struggled. Li Yinhu remained emotionless, clutching Li Wu's head tightly, allowing his nails to scratch his own arms. His eyes were as cold and emotionless as ice.

Inside the bedroom, all sound of conversation had ceased. Only the crackling of the candle flame and the muffled, rapid thumping of a bird struggling on the bed remained.

This struggle lasted for a moment.

The parrot's legs were stiff and straight, its eyes wide open, staring fixedly at Li Yinhǔ. Gradually, it fell silent.

Li Yinhu whispered, “Brother... my brother... you can rest easy. Don't worry, I can't help you avenge yourself if you don't go.”

After speaking, Li Yinhu suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"Help! Someone come quickly!!! The Ninth Prince is in danger!!!"

This scream, loud and shrill, pierced the heavens.

The Imperial City, blanketed in snow, was originally silent and serene. The frigid air hung heavy everywhere, but with a single high-pitched, fear-laden scream, the entire silent city erupted without warning. within its protective bounds.Had Zhao Xuanji not spoken up proactively, perhaps no one would have realized that his move was a deliberate plan.Li Chen suddenly remembered what Li Yinhu had said to hi...
