Chapter 501: Rescue

ars later in the winter, after you were transferred to the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs half a year ago, you were suddenly demoted to the prefect of Hejian. You went from the third...Chapter 501: Seeking Help

Seeing himself caught in a trap, Li Yinhou felt a sense of panic as if facing imminent disaster.

He didn't even know how he got back.

As soon as he stepped into the palace, he saw Long Huaiyu coming towards him.

"My lord..."

Seeing Li Yinhu's expression, Long Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat.

This evening, Li Yinhu went to the East Palace. It was a plan they had discussed beforehand.

Tonight, the prison of the Ministry of Justice was broken into. Whether to show that he had nothing to do with it or to investigate the reaction of the East Palace, Li Yinhu was going there tonight.

But Li Yinhou took too long, and the expression he returned made Long Huaiyu realize that things were not developing as smoothly as he had imagined.

"But things have changed"

Hearing Long Huaiyu's question, Li Yinhu smiled.

"Anything changed"

Li Yinhu couldn't figure it out. They were both his subordinates, but the gap between Long Huaiyu, whom he had recruited himself, and Zhou Pingan, whom Li Chen had recruited, was so huge!

"It's not at all what we thought it would be, we're fools, idiots, do you know that! We foolishly walked into the Donggong's trap and even thought we were clever!"

Li Yinhu is now so angry that he wants to kill Long Huaiyu to vent his rage.

But reason still held his emotions in check.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yinhu forced a stiff and cold smile onto his face and said in a low voice, "Come with me. This is not a place to talk."

Carrying the same anxious heart, Long Huaiyu came to the study. Along the way, Li Yinhou managed to calm his mood somewhat.

He suppressed his anger and humiliation, and told the whole story.

And Long Huaiyu listened, his expression changing with Li Yinhu's narration.

His face turned sullen as he listened to the end.

"This king doesn't understand, this plan was clearly our impromptu idea, why would the East Palace have set up the entire trap in advance This king absolutely doesn't believe it was a coincidence!"

Li Yinhu slammed his fist heavily on the table and said in a deep voice, "There's no such thing as coincidence in this world."

"Of course it couldn't be a coincidence."

Long Huaiyu said with a stoic expression, "There's a mole."

"Traitor!"

Li Yinhu suddenly looked up at Long Huaiyu.

Only he, Long Huaiyu, and the group of guards assigned to carry out the mission knew about this matter.

Long Huaiyu couldn't possibly betray himself, so the problem must lie with those guards.

Just as Li Yinhǔ was diligently pondering who the mole might be, Long Huáiyù spoke up, "Your Highness, while finding the mole is important, the most pressing matter right now is to find a way to clean up this mess."

"Way!"

Li Yinhu gritted his teeth angrily and said, "What can we do now We can only explain to the White Lotus Sect first..."

"Explanation is necessary, after all."

Long Huaiyu reminded, “But the immediate priority is to make the Bai Lian Sect wary and prevent them from completely clashing with the Prince.”

"Otherwise, no amount of explanation would be useful. What about the Lotus Sect If the prince had enough means to intimidate them, even if these people were truly killed by the prince, they would have to swallow their teeth and endure it."

"Therefore, Your Highness, please go to the Zhao Residence immediately."

Long Huaiyu said solemnly, "The only ones who can help the prince now are Ge Lao and Zhao Xuanji!"

Li Yinhǔ frowned and said, "Zhao Xuanji What use could he be in this matter"

Long Huaiyu let out a soft sigh and said, "Your Highness hasn't noticed, has the cabinet been very quiet lately Ever since the New Year, it seems like there haven't been any major moves from the cabinet. This is very abnormal. Your Highness is gradually distancing yourself from the circle of the cabinet, which is very detrimental to your current position. In terms of government affairs, the only thing that can make the Crown Prince wary is the cabinet."t"Su Pingbei said: "Women, status, mountains and rivers, power, these are all that men desire in their lifetime."Saying that, Su Ping thought of something. He took out an earring from his bosom and sa...
