Chapter 503: Knocking

to make things difficult for you, I wouldn't have agreed to Zhao Xuanji pushing you out in the first place!""Do you and Zhao Xuanji both think that this palace compromised out of pressure from court...Chapter 503: Knocking

"Go back first."

Zhaoxuanji said in a soft voice, "I'll find a way to handle this."

Li Yinhu was overjoyed upon hearing this and performed another bow, saying, "Thank you, elder sir, thank you, elder sir!"

Seeing Li Yinhǔ's delighted expression and his hurried thanks, Zhao Xuanji said calmly, "Your Highness the King of Zhao, there is something old man must remind you of."

"Elder, please speak, Xiao Wang will listen attentively." Li Ynhu respectfully said.

“After so many attempts, King Zhao should know that the one in the East Palace is not easy to deal with. Don't look at his young age, but his mind and methods, his schemes and plots, are all top-notch. It's not that I underestimate King Zhao, but King Zhao is indeed no match for him.”

Li Yinhu's face darkened.

But Zhao Xuanji seemed to have not seen it, and continued on as if nothing had happened: "King Zhao is intelligent, do you know why the Prince of the East Palace has tolerated King Zhao until now without making a move"

Li Yinhu calmly said, "I don't know, Xiao Wang."

Zhao Xuanji smiled and said, "Whether it's fake or not doesn't matter. Whether it's true or not doesn't matter either. Today, this old man will just say a few things."

"Everything is because of old me."

“To bring down the Prince of Donggong, even if this old man had a thousand methods and ten thousand changes, he couldn't possibly sit on that position himself. That position can only be held by a descendant of the Li royal bloodline, a son of the emperor. So at first it was the Ninth Prince, and after the Ninth Prince, you, King Zhao, became this old man's choice.”

"The other princes are all young and naive. Although the Emperor has many sons, there are only a handful who are suitable in age right now, namely Prince Zhao."

"King Zhao is the only option for me under the current circumstances. Once King Zhao is lost, what will the cabinet do And what about me This is something the East Palace needs to consider. At least for now, the East Palace cannot guarantee that it can completely suppress me, so before that happens, the East Palace's tolerance for King Zhao is very high. They won't resort to killing him unless absolutely necessary."

"Does His Majesty King Zhao understand what the old man means"

Li Yinhu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I know, Your Advisor is Xiaowang's backing, and even more so his life-saving talisman."

"That's right."

Zhao Xuanji's expression on his face gradually subsided, his gaze turned cold and fixed on Li Yinhou, saying: "However, this tolerance also has its limits."

"King Zhao wants to do something, to prove that you can stand up to the East Palace. I know stopping King Zhao from doing what he wants will leave him feeling resentful, and you have your own thoughts. You don't want to be a complete puppet; you want to hold power yourself. But you need to see how much weight you really carry!"

"You've been given opportunities, both by myself and the Eastern Palace, but you failed to seize them. Now that trouble has arisen, you expect me to clean up your mess What do you take me for, King Zhao"

Li Yinhu was startled and, with a stiff face, remained silent.

"If King Zhao could control his temper and bide his time for two more years, perhaps the old man would still hold King Zhao in high regard. But now..."

He picked up the teacup, which was still steaming hot, shook his head to dispel the foam, and said calmly: "There are some things that King Zhao has indeed gone too far. It's best to stop here, such as the assassination of the imperial court. No matter what King Zhao's purpose is, this has made me unbearable. If there is another time..."

There won't be a next time.

Li Yinhu cupped his hands, bowed his head and spoke first.

A smile touched Zhao Xuanji's aged face, and he nodded. "Very good."not so lucky.Several people were directly knocked over, and two landed beside Yelu Shenxuan. One of them hit his head against a pillar, blood spurting from his nose and mouth. He struggled twice befor...
