Chapter 151: Li Yinhu Goes All Out

le, saying indifferently, "King Zhao is the eighth younger brother of this palace. How could this palace be too harsh on him As brothers, we should treat each other with kindness. A good elder brother...Chapter 151: Li Yinhu Goes All Out

Just as the maidservant who had been attending to him withdrew, Zhao Qinglan was taken aback by Zhao Xuanji's words.

"Father, why are you so certain"

Zhao Xuanji said in a deep voice, "Originally, I sent someone tonight to poison the Ninth Prince."

But as soon as I arrived at the side hall, my people told me that he hadn't had a chance to make his move before the Ninth Prince died.

“I thought the Crown Prince had gotten there before me and was plotting against me, but throughout the whole process, he never mentioned investigating the murderer, nor did he try to implicate me. In the end, he just hastily sent the Dali Temple and Ministry of Justice to investigate, both of which are under my control. How could the Crown Prince be unaware of this”

If he were to use this against me, he wouldn't be so reckless.

Zhaoxuanji's brows furrowed deeply, his expression laced with suspicion.

But, who was it after all

"No wonder Father told me not to speak before."

Zhao Qinglan's beautiful brows furrowed slightly as she said, "So it seems there's something fishy going on here."

At this point, a voice suddenly called out from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty the Empress, Eighth Prince requests an audience."

Zhao Xuanji heard this, and the suspicion in his eyes deepened.

"Bring him in," Zhao Xuanji said.

Zhao Qinglan nodded and solemnly addressed the outside of the hall: “Let him in.”

After a short while, the Eighth Prince Li Yinhu walked in from outside the hall. His complexion was slightly pale, and he walked with some pain.

He knelt before Zhao Qinglan and said in a low voice, "My son, I have seen my mother."

In terms of age, Li Yinhǔ and Zhao Qinglan are about the same, but after that voice mother, he called out without any pressure.

Zhao Qinglan looked at Li Yinhǔ and said calmly, "Prince Eight came to see me late at night. What's the matter Are you still brooding over the death of Prince Nine The dead are gone, Prince Eight, you should let go."

Li Yinhu knelt on the ground, trembling and saying, "My son dares to ask the Empress Dowager to adopt him."

Zhao Qinglan's pretty face flushed with anger as she said, "Nonsense! Empresses in the palace often adopt children because their biological mothers have passed away. Young princes and princesses are left unattended, so other concubines or the empress adopts them. You are already an adult, and you still want me to adopt you What propriety is there in that"

Li Chen wasn't afraid of Zhao Qinglan because Li Chen didn't consider Zhao Qinglan as the Empress at all.

But in fact, after Zhao Qinglan entered the palace, she took charge of the six palaces. The entire harem was under her control. Now that Emperor Daxing was seriously ill, everyone could see that this Empress might become the Dowager Empress at any time. Therefore, she was powerful and awe-inspiring, something ordinary people couldn't bear.

Li Yinhu was scolded by Zhao Qinglan, his heart became more and more nervous, but thinking of everything he had done, he went all out.

Anyway, if today doesn't go well, judging by the look the prince gave me just now, even if he ascends the throne in the future, I would definitely die.

Thinking of this, Li Yinhu had no more reservations.

"Right now, the Ninth Prince is dead. Your Empress Dowager, your chief minister, you all worked so hard to cultivate your pawns for years, and now they're gone. I, willing to replace my brother, become the pawn in your hands."

At these words, Zhao Qinglan stood up abruptly.

Even Zhao Xuanji’s gaze towards Li Yinhou was filled with inexplicable meaning.

"Li Yinhu! Do you know what you're saying!"

Zhao Qinglan's voice was like ice. She said, "Every word you've spoken is enough to kill you a hundred times!"

Li Yinhu turned his head to face Zhao Xuanji and said, "I, will be more suitable than the Ninth Prince!"

Li Yinhu knew that if he wanted to succeed, the person with ultimate decision-making power wasn't the Empress, but Zhao Xuanji.

So he simply spoke directly to Zhao Xuanji.

Zhao Xuanji chuckled and said, "Please give this old man a sufficient reason, Eighth Prince."now, Huangji Tian used Li Chen's method against Li Chen and actually failed!Li Chen's ruthless three words left Huangji Tian extremely embarrassed.Looking at Huangji Tian, who seemed momentarily speec...
