Madam, protect me!

Prince You's Mansion.

Zhao He stood respectfully in a main hall, looking around from time to time. The excitement in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

Whether you can achieve great success depends on today.

Not long after, several figures walked into the hall.

Zhao He turned around, not daring to take another look, and immediately knelt down on the ground, saying respectfully: "The officials are guarding Zhao He, and I pay my respects to His Highness King You!"

King You sat on the chair and said, "Get up."

After Zhao He stood up, King You asked again: "You came here so late. What secrets do you want to tell me?"

Zhao He did not speak, but looked at the two followers behind King You and said, "This matter is too important. I can only tell His Highness King You."

King You glanced behind him and said, "You guys go down first."

When the two people left, King You said: "There is no one else here, just tell me."

Zhao He took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression: "Back to Your Highness King You, I discovered that there was a huge secret behind the death of the prince. The prince did not die of illness, but was most likely killed by someone!"

"What!"

Hearing this, King You suddenly stood up from his chair.

He stared at Zhao He and asked, "What did you say? The prince was killed. How did you find out?"

Seeing that even King You was so shocked when he heard the news, Zhao He felt a little proud in his heart. The arrangements made by King Han and Jing Zhaoyin were perfect, but they still could not hide it from his discerning eyes.

He straightened his chest, cleared his throat and said, "The matter started when the official was assigned to be an official in the Ministry of Personnel. At that time, Mr. Jingzhao Yinlin asked the official to pay attention to an official's file. If anyone accessed it, , so I asked the official to notify him as soon as possible..."

King You slowly sat down and asked, "Which official?"

Zhao He said: "Qinghe County Magistrate Gu Wenhan, at first, the official didn't think much about it. Later, he discovered that Mr. Gu was once an official of the East Palace. Later, the official did some research and found that many officials of the East Palace were , have all died due to various accidents in recent years..."

King You had regained his composure at this moment and asked: "Isn't it very common for officials in Daxia to die? Since Li Xuanjing joined Dali Temple, officials have died one after another. Based on this, you can conclude that the prince was murdered. Isn’t it too careless to kill someone?”

Zhao He explained: "Of these officials, only Gu Wenhan died in the hands of Li Xuanjing. The others died in different ways. They seemed to be ordinary accidents, but when Mr. Jingzhao Yinlin heard that someone was reviewing their files, , showed a great gaffe, and the lower official has reason to suspect that there was another hidden reason behind the death of the prince, and Jing Zhaoyin and the King of Han may have played an important role in it..."

He took out an envelope from his arms, handed it to King You respectfully, and said: "This is the list of officials in the East Palace back then, as well as the list of officials who died in accidents over the years, and the causes of their deaths. His Highness, King You, will know after taking a look at it." ”

King You took the envelope and opened it slowly.

Zhao He continued: "On the surface, there is no doubt about their deaths, but there is no doubt, but the biggest doubt. Jing Zhaoyin and the King of Han wanted not to arouse suspicion, so they created one incident after another. A perfect death event, even Li Xuanjing was included in their plan and became their murderous knife. The official had predicted the death of Guanglu Si Cheng a few months ago, but he did not expect that he would actually die. Yes, so I am sure that there must be something behind what happened in the East Palace back then..."

After reading the contents of the letter, King You stood up again and said, "If these are true, then there may be another hidden story about what happened back then. Could it be that the Prince of Han and Jing Zhaoyin killed the prince?"

Zhao He immediately said: "It is very possible that Jing Zhaoyin back then was Prince Zhan Shifu's Shao Zhan Shi. Most of the officials in the East Palace were under his jurisdiction. He was capable of doing these things. After the East Palace was disbanded, he He joined the camp of the King of Han, entered the Jingzhao Mansion, and rose through the ranks. If the prince's death was related to him, it must be related to the King of Han..."

He looked at King You and said confidently: "I am 80% sure of this case. Once I defeat the King of Han, Your Highness, you, King You, will be the eldest prince. With respect to etiquette and law, the throne belongs to you..."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

King You said three good words in a row, walked up to Zhao He, and asked, "What's your name?"

Zhao He was overjoyed and immediately said: "The lower official, Zhao He, is now in charge of the official department."

King You patted him on the shoulder and said: "A talent like you will be buried if you only treat it as a palm player. Are you willing to work under me?"

Zhao He knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Zhao He is willing to go through fire and water for His Highness, no matter what!"

King You said slowly: "This matter is serious, and I need to conduct a detailed investigation. When I have a clear investigation, I will report to my father. At that time, if we can really defeat the King of Han, you will take the greatest credit, and I will naturally I won’t treat you badly, but before that, I want you to stay in the Ministry of Personnel and help me keep an eye on the movements of King Han and Jing Zhaoyin, are you willing?”

Although Zhao He was unwilling to do this for a whole day, he could only nod his head and said: "For the sake of His Highness' important matter, I am willing."

King You looked at him and asked: "By the way, you didn't tell anyone else about this, right?"

Zhao He shook his head and said, "No, no one else knows except the official and His Highness."

King You narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's good that there is no one. Remember, this case involves a lot of people. You must not tell a third person. You are of low position and your words are not taken seriously. Once the news is leaked, you may die without a burial place..."

Zhao He said seriously, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I promise to keep my mouth shut."

King You asked again, "Have you ever been married?"

Zhao He shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Although he should have been married at his age, he didn't like the women in his hometown.

After the imperial examination, some small nobles wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, but he refused.

Those nobles themselves didn't have many years of wealth. Zhao He himself looked down on the women in their families. But those aristocratic families and powerful nobles didn't like him, a small official of the ninth rank, so he didn't get married for a long time.

But he was not in a hurry. He, Zhao He, was destined to be a superior man. It was not too late for a man to get married. By then, there would be more and better women for him to choose from.

King You asked again, "Do you have any family in Chang'an?"

Zhao He said, "My parents are in my hometown, and I only have an old servant in Chang'an."

King You comforted him, "It's a little hard now, but it's only temporary. When the time comes, when we accomplish great things, power, wealth, and beauty, I will let you choose..."

Zhao He suppressed his inner joy, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

King You nodded and said, "It's getting late, you go back first."

Zhao He said respectfully, "I'll take my leave."

When his figure disappeared, King You suddenly clenched the paper in his hand, his face pale, mixed with deep anger, and said coldly, "Li Long, Lin Fuzhi, what are you doing!"

Han Wang Mansion.

It was late at night, and King Han returned to the bedroom, but he didn't feel sleepy.

After the death of Wang Heng, he felt the change in the Wang family's attitude towards Han Wang Mansion in just a few days.

But he couldn't really retaliate against Li Xuanjing.

He was not afraid of Li Xuanjing, but was afraid of being entangled with him.

If he had discovered something about that incident, I don't know how many people would have died with him.

After taking the tranquilizer prepared by the imperial physician, he lay on the bed. Just when he felt a little sleepy, he was awakened by a violent knock on the door.

The face of the King of Han darkened, and he opened the door of the palace and saw a figure in a black cloak.

The man raised his head, and the King of Han was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "It's so late, why don't you rest and come to my place?"

Under the cloak, King You said coldly: "The sky has fallen, and you are still resting. When you die, there will be plenty of time to rest!"

King You walked into the bedroom and the door closed slowly.

Soon, the low exclamation of the King of Han came from the inner hall.

"What, someone found it!"

"It's him!"

"I have said several times that this person should be dealt with earlier, but Fu Zhi just won't listen!"

King You said coldly: "Fortunately, he is looking for me. If he is looking for King Chun, King Rui, or Li Xuanjing..."

The back of the King of Han was already wet with cold sweat.

Even though he was in a high position and had great power, there were things he was afraid of.

King You asked again: "Who told you to take the initiative to move those people? They committed the death penalty of nine clans. Do you think they dare to reveal it? Why bother?"

King Han lowered his head and did not respond.

Because he wanted to do it.

Fuzhi advised him several times, but he firmly believed that only the dead could keep secrets forever.

He never expected that everything was arranged perfectly, but in the end there was a mistake inside.

Sure enough, none of those who can pass the imperial examination are stupid.

He looked at King You and asked: "Have you arranged someone to deal with the official in the Ministry of Personnel?"

King You did not deny it. He would not let him live until tomorrow to avoid more trouble.

Zhao He was a smart man. He actually guessed that the death of the prince was done by King Han and Lin Fuzhi based on a few names.

But he didn't know that this matter itself was King You's idea.

The prince was the only one who had been with his father before he ascended the throne.

If he hadn't died, the other princes would have had no chance at all.

But what they didn't expect was that after the prince's death, his father actually left the East Palace vacant for ten years, and in the end no one benefited.

Although it would be a bit troublesome to deal with Zhao He tonight.

But no matter how big the trouble was, it was not as big as the hidden dangers caused by letting him live.

Since he came to the Han Palace, King You simply vented all his anger these days. He looked at the Han King and cursed: "You are crazy. You took the initiative to provoke Li Xuanjing. I really don't know what you are thinking..."

The Han King said helplessly: "I don't want to either. I was also calculated by someone..."
