k in when a middle-aged man with a blank expression walked out and stood before him."You dog-licker, get out of here!" Duan Changmian roared.Chen Tong's mouth twitched, and he recalled the prince's in...Chapter 660: The sky is about to brighten.

Since Zhao Xuanji couldn't kill Yelü Guzanqi, he could only block all channels through which Yelü Guzanqi sought help from the Liao Kingdom.

This is how the later plan came about.

If Li Chen had known about his own plan earlier, he would have definitely stopped himself from killing the Liao state scout.

Because Yelü Guzanqi successfully relayed the message back to Liao, causing great anger in Liao and implicating himself, this would align with Li Chen's interests.

He wasn't going to wait until his plan was successful before acting.

After ruling out Li Chen's possibility, Zhao Xuanji struggled to think of others.

Prince Or some other faction within the court

A thousand thoughts, like a tangled mess, with no trace of a clue.

Suddenly, the sound of chickens crowing came from outside.

The sky is getting light.

This crowing of the rooster also woke Zhao Xuanji as if from a dream, instantly calming him down.

After decades of navigating the treacherous waters of imperial court, Zhao Xuanji knew that even though he was caught off guard, anger and pointless worries would be useless right now. He could only take things one step at a time.

No matter who the one who did it was, since they succeeded, they were bound to take some action....

"Go away."

Zhao Xuanji's tone returned to calm, and he said to the person still kneeling before him.

"Excuse me, senior advisor, who is participating in the operation tonight..."

"Silence him."

Zhao Xuanji coldly spat out two words.

Such a major event, even if it has been exposed, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

In this world, the most trustworthy are only the dead.

"I understand."

......

Zhao Wangfu.

Li Yinhu finished reading the contents of the secret letter, his heart pounding.

"Wonderful! It's truly wonderful!"

Li Yinhǔ looked at Lóng Huáiyù beside him and laughed loudly, "Brother Lóng, you guessed it right! Yelü Gǔzàn is furious like thunder. Every word in the secret letter is urging the Liao Kingdom to meet Li Chén's conditions and let him return home, after which they will use all their strength to take revenge!"

"Brother Long, you are truly brilliant! You've calculated every move of the Prince and Zhao Xuanji, leaving them with no room to maneuver. You even directly cut off Zhao Xuanji's escape route – it's truly masterful!"

Xu Wei stood on the side, eyes fixed straight ahead, nostrils flaring subtly. He remained utterly still, as unwavering as a wooden stake.

Long Huaiyu smiled softly and said, "Actually, all of this was calculated by my teacher. He knows these two people too well, especially Zhao Xuanji."

Li Yinhu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Dragon brother, now you can introduce your teacher to this king"

Li Yinhu gave an embarrassed smile and immediately waved his hand, saying: "Then we'll just wait a little longer, it's no problem. However, what about this letter now"

Long Huaiyu heard this, and glanced at Xu Wei, the only other person besides them two in the room.

This is self-evident.

Li Yinhu waved his hand and said, "Brother Long, you can speak freely. Xu Wei is a trusted confidant of mine. This secret letter was also taken by him today. There's nothing we can't hear."

Since Li Yinhu had spoken, Long Huaiyu naturally had no objections.

He nodded and then said, "In my opinion, and also the teacher's, this letter should be sent to the Liao Kingdom. Otherwise, how can Zhao Xuanji and Li Chen stir up trouble"

"Zhao Xuanji's willingness to take such a risk means that if this letter reaches the Liao Kingdom, he is finished. The more he doesn't want to see happen, the more we must do it."

Long Huaiyu's eyes flashed, and she nodded. "Alright, this king will arrange it immediately, but..."

"Rest assured, Your Highness. The teacher has already contacted a powerful prince who favors you. As soon as there is turmoil in the court, this prince will naturally lend his support to you."Chapter 374 The Imperial Court Provides You with Food and Shelter, Yet You Kill This Palace
