Chapter 415: The Imprisonment Department Jail

he King of Ning chuckled and said, “Twenty-one years. I've been here for twenty-one years, haven’t gone back in all that time. The prince who was once a mere babe, knowing nothing but crying, eating,...Chapter 415: Entering the Punishment Department Prison

Zhao Xuanji's expression was solemn, his eyes dark and heavy.

Originally, he could have sat back and watched the power struggle between Wen Wang and the East Palace, but now, his own son has betrayed him, forcing him to take sides. Now it seems like the East Palace will benefit from this situation.

And Zhao Tailai finally realized the seriousness of the situation at this time.

He didn't understand the ins and outs of it, but seeing his elderly father's furious expression, he knew he had really made a mistake.

Struggling to his feet, Zhao Tailai gritted his teeth and said in a hushed voice, "Father, what do we do now"

Zhao Xuanji's face darkened as he said, "What else can we do From today onwards, you are confined to your home. If I don't give the word, you dare not take a step outside, or don't blame me for disowning you!"

Zhao Tailai exclaimed in panic, "Father, no! This is worse than killing me!"

Then you die!

Zhao Xuanji brushed his sleeve and said, "It's better than letting you cause trouble everywhere."

After that, he really didn't want to see Zhao Tailai anymore and scolded him: "Get back to your own courtyard, right now!"

Zhaotai wanted to say something more, but seeing Zhao Xuanji's expression, he finally didn't dare to speak. He could only limp away carefully.

After Zhao Tailai left, Zhao Xuanji's face was gloomy.

Zhao Xuanji uttered in a low voice.

Outside, a plain-looking middle-aged man walked in.

"Spread the word that the young master has fallen ill and will not be leaving the house for three months. Please decline any visitors."

The middle-aged man responded with a grunt and was about to leave when Zhao Xuanji added, "Also, prepare a carriage. This old man is going to the Eastern Palace to see the Crown Prince."

Zhao Xuanji thought about it, this matter might as well take the initiative to inquire instead of passively waiting for the East Palace to make a move.

Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man said: "Just received news that the Crown Prince has left the palace and is not currently in the East Palace."

"Where are you going" Zhao Xuanji asked.

"Ministry of Justice," the middle-aged man said.

Zhao Xuanji's eyebrows twitched, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, Zhao Xuanji, who had held political power for over a decade, demonstrated his political acumen to the fullest.

He knew why the Crown Prince went to the Ministry of Justice.

Facing the predicament brought by Xu Changqing, the Crown Prince's departure is both a rescue and an execution.

For a while, Zhao Xuanji deduced many things from this simple piece of information and had already made a decision.

"Go find Wang Tenghuan immediately and tell him that he absolutely cannot get involved in the Ministry of Justice's affairs... Consider it an old man owing him a favor."

The middle-aged man remained expressionless and respectfully departed.

Looking at the snow in the courtyard that was still unmelted, Zhao Xuanji's mood was incredibly heavy.

Wen Wang's intervention in the capital's affairs disrupted Zhao Xuanji's rhythm and plans, making him feel a sense of crisis.

King Wen, who has been strong and has lain dormant for so many years, is even more difficult to deal with than the prince.

By this time, Li Chen had already arrived at the bigwig of the Ministry of Justice.

Upon arriving at the Ministry of Justice, Li Chen felt too lazy to play any games of disguise. Without revealing his identity, he knew it would be impossible for him to enter the Ministry of Justice's prison.

So, under Sanbao's arrangement, Li Chen only waited for a moment at the entrance of the Ministry of Punishment. The officials on duty at the Ministry of Punishment rushed out in a panic.

"We, your humble servants, pay our respects to the Crown Prince. May the Crown Prince live a thousand years, ten thousand years, and myriads of thousands of years!"

Glancing at the officials, both large and small, kneeling on the ground, Li Chen strode forward and said, "All of you, rise. Follow this palace to the Ministry of Justice prison."

This remark startled Ge Pingyi, the Right Attendant of the Ministry of Justice, who was present.

As Qian Shiyan's confidant, Ge Pingyi, who personally led the team to handle Xu Changqing's case, was very clear about who Li Chen was going to see in the Ministry of Punishment's prison at this time.Chapter 1538 Part Four
