Chapter 486: Thorough InvestigationChapter 906: Conspiracy

Li Chen took one last look at the rotten tiger corpse in the black box, waved his hand to have the box and the bodies of Hu Kai and others carried away to be sent back to Jinling, then turned and returned to Xizheng Hall.

The matter of Wen Wang's gift-giving soon became common knowledge throughout the city.

When others heard that Wen Wang had presented the crown prince with a dead tiger as a wedding gift, their expressions were all incredibly interesting.

Wen Wang's actions damage his own reputation.

When the message reached Zhao Xuanji's ears, he merely smiled faintly and didn't make any statement, as if he had seen through Wen Wang's purpose.

And when Li Yinhǔ knew about this, his expression wasn't looking too good.

He couldn't understand why Wen Wang was so impulsive. On the other hand, his name was Li Yinhu, and Wen Wang had given a dead tiger to the Crown Prince. He didn't know if there was some deeper meaning behind this.

Before he could dwell on it too much, Zhao Xuanji sent someone to fetch him to the Zhao residence for a visit.

Li Yinhu's spirits lifted.

There were only a few days left until the prince's wedding, and according to their agreement, the day of the wedding would be the day they started their rebellion.

This time, Zhao Xuanji should be here to discuss the specifics with me.

He hurried to Zhao Mansion and, in the study, Li Yinhou encountered not only Zhao Xuanji but also two other grand scholars from the cabinet, Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi.

"Good day to you both."

Li Yinhu lowered his posture, and as soon as he entered the door, he immediately greeted the two people with a bow.

He knew that these two were Zhao Xuanji's left and right arms. Zhao Xuanji couldn't succeed without them, so his attitude absolutely couldn't be negligent.

Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi also showed great respect to Li Yinhu, getting up and smiling as they greeted him.

"Greetings, King Zhao."

"The king looks well."

The three people exchanged greetings, but Zhao Xuanji, who was sitting at the top, remained silent.

After the three had finished their pleasantries, Zhao Xuanji looked up at Li Yinhu and said, "Tomorrow morning during court, we plan to put you forward."

Li Yinhu's mind raced.

In previous communications, the two parties reached a basic consensus.

The entire chain of events stemmed from him, as the current eighth prince and Prince Zhao, standing up to question the actions of the East Palace crown prince, deeming them unreasonable and illegal. This sparked an attack by the court officials.

Of course, countless facts have proven that this tactic cannot completely bring down the East Palace.

But they don't care, they want a name, an effect.

This has two benefits: it will further lower the reputation of the East Palace and cause people to lose faith in it.

Second, and most importantly, naturally step forward onto the stage.

He is also the emperor's biological son, and he has a legitimate claim to the throne of the Qin Empire. He can step forward and challenge the crown prince.

In that case, it would be a struggle for the crown prince, not a rebellion by subjects against their sovereign. There's a fundamental difference between the two.

Such cases have occurred frequently throughout Chinese history. In essence, it is a matter of the royal family's internal affairs.

The latter, is rebellion, a rebellion that everyone should behead.t behind.With a turn of her body, Wan Jiaojiao saw Li Chen looking at her with a half-smile. Her pretty face flushed red.Then she thought of how this was the storybook she had painstakingly brought in...
