our Highness, what on earth is going on"Li Chen suddenly reached out and hooked his shoulder onto Li Yinhu's, making the two of them appear extremely close.At the same time, Li Chen lowered his voice...Chapter 878: Zhao Xuanji Enters the Palace

"It's the East Factory again."

Zhao Xuanji let out a cold snort, his eyes narrowed as he said with icy disdain, "That old eunuch San Bao, one day I will surely skin him alive and eat him!"

The thing that bothered Zhao Xuanji the most during Emperor Taishang's reign was creating the Dongchang.

If it weren't for the Dongchang, he would have already completely controlled the government and there wouldn't be any of this trouble with the Crown Prince now.

The most hateful thing is this group of eunuchs. They are utterly loyal to the imperial power and almost impossible to win over.

To such an extent that Zhao Xuanji's plans over the years have been thwarted too many times by the Dongchang, Zhao Xuanji has long regarded them as a thorn in his side.

"It's alright, just go ahead and do it. I have a way to handle things."

Zhao Xuanji suppressed the impatience and anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "As long as the capital city is in chaos, then this little move can be completely concealed."

If a group of people are all sitting down, and suddenly someone stands up, that person would certainly stand out.

If all of them were to stand up, then that person's action would seem quite normal.

Having dispatched his confidante, Zhao Xuanji didn't linger at home. He got into a palanquin and headed for the palace.

In any dynasty, it was unthinkable for officials to enter the inner palace without an imperial decree.

Once discovered, it's a matter of beheading.

Rules are meant to be broken, how they're executed depends on the person, and people, well, they're all about power.

For Zhao Xuanji, many rules held no sway over him at all.

The guards at the palace gate, seeing that it was Zhao Xuanji's palanquin, didn't stop it at all and let it pass directly.

They knew they couldn't stop it.

So, just like before, Zhao Xuanji entered the palace unimpeded, all the way until he arrived at the Phoenix Bliss Palace when things took a turn.

Every single person in Fengxi Palace, from the guards to the maidservants and eunuchs, was carefully placed there by Li Chen.

One is to monitor Zhao Qinglan.

The other reason was to prevent anyone from seeing Zhao Qinglan without going through the East Palace.

For example, Zhao Xuanji.

So all the guards here were directly transferred from the Jinyiwei, changed into new clothes and went on duty immediately. They didn't give Zhao Xuanji any face.

"Fengxi Palace is a restricted area. Non-essential personnel are not allowed entry!"

This was the first time Zhao Xuanji had ever been called an idle person in his life.

A small guard wasn't worthy of Zhao Xuanji's personal attention, so his subordinates immediately rebuked him outside.

"Be bold, open your eyes and see! This is the sedan chair of the chief minister. Do you dare to stop it"

This one phrase is more effective than any passport.

But the guards outside refused to budge, still saying sternly, "His Royal Highness has given orders: no one is allowed into Phoenix Bliss Palace without a decree from the East Palace. Anyone who trespasses will be killed."

As soon as these words were spoken, a sound of weapons being drawn filled the air.

Zha Xuanji, sitting in the palanquin, frowned slightly.

Zhao Qinglan had been under house arrest for a long time, and he already knew about it.

But he couldn't get in himself, which he hadn't expected.

He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and Zhao Xuanji smiled at the guard, saying, "As an old chief minister, I can't enter Fengxi Palace. But as a father-in-law to the emperor, surely that's acceptable"

That guard still kept a cold face and said, "Please forgive me, Prime Minister. If I let you in today, my head would be the one on the line. It is my duty, I beg for your understanding."

The words were polite, but the tone remained cold, and the attitude was still firm.

Zhao Xuanji's smile faded bit by bit, and he said in a cold tone: "As the richest man in the cabinet and the father-in-law of the country, I will see today who dares to stop me!"

After finishing his words, Zhao Xuanji walked straight towards the gate of Fengxi Palace.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! only hidden masters, but also tens of thousands of officials appointed by the imperial court. These tens of thousands of people were all among the best of the best, and each one wanted to climb highe...
