The middle-aged man respectfully took the medicine and said, "I understand."

Furthermore, go to the Eastern Palace and have the Princess Consort obey your orders.

When the middle-aged man heard Zhao Xuanji's words, his face turned difficult.

"How"

Zhao Xuanji frowned and said, "Is there a problem"

A middle-aged man said: “The guards of the East Palace have been replaced, and now they are personally handled by the Jinyiwei. Moreover, our hidden informants have all been removed, making it very difficult to get in touch with the Crown Princess.”

Zhao Xuanji angrily said: "Why didn't the Crown Princess contact you about this"

The middle-aged man was silent.

Zhao Xuanji suddenly laughed.

"Haha, haha!"

Zhaoxuanji laughed loudly: "Good, good! The old man knew that girl had sharp eyes, an ambitious heart, but was cowardly like a rat. She was unreliable, and sure enough, it happened."

"The chief minister calmed down."

A middle-aged man said softly, "Shall we take care of her"

"Pig brain!"

Zhao Xuanji said coldly, "If she told the Crown Prince everything, do you think you and your people would have any chance of returning to the East Palace"

With a flick of his robe sleeve, Zhao Xuanji said coldly, "When it rains, the heavens will weep; when a woman marries, she must leave her family. Since she has made her choice, I hope she won't regret it. Go, dispatch someone to deal with her entire family."

The middle-aged man's face grew even more troubled.

"What's wrong again!"

Zhao Xuanji only felt that these days, everything was going wrong. He felt nameless anger rising in his heart and scolded, "Just speak plainly, don't be so hesitant!"

Only then, with gritted teeth, did the middle-aged man say, "The father of the Crown Princess, Zhao Heshan, was summoned to the capital by an imperial decree from the East Palace some time ago. Right now, he's probably nearing the capital."

Zhao Xuanji angrily rebuked, "Why didn't you say such an important piece of news sooner!"

The middle-aged man immediately knelt down, tremblingly saying: "This matter was directly ordered by the East Palace through the Dongchang. The Jinyiwei personally went to announce it and escorted all the way. This subordinate is incompetent and really didn't notice beforehand. Please punish me, Chief Minister."

Zhao Xuance stared coldly at the middle-aged man and said in a frigid tone, "You've followed me for many years and know my temper. This time, I'll let you off. But if there's another time..."

"That's good."

Zhao Xuanji's tone remained cold as he waved his hand and said, "Go. Keep an eye on Zhao Heshan. When he arrives in the capital, find an opportunity to make your move."

"I'm retiring..."

After the middle-aged man left, Zhao Xuanji stood in the study, facing the window and watching the heavy snow falling outside. He suddenly felt a wave of fatigue.

This bone-deep exhaustion is something I haven't felt in many years.

He looked down at his hands, wrinkled and old.

Zhao Xuanji twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered, “My time is running out…”

Thinking about this, Zhao Xuanji turned around and sat down at his desk, pulling out a sheet of paper.

He frowned, staring at the blank sheet of paper. After a moment, he took a deep breath and began to write: "To my esteemed brother, Zai Dao, Chancellor of Liao..."

......

At this moment, outside the city walls of the capital.

“Green ant new fermented wine, red clay small stove, late in the evening the sky wants snow, can you drink a cup”

Li Chen raised his glass of water and smiled at Su Jinpa: “I'll drink tea in place of wine, to toast the beauty.”

Su Jinpa was savoring the exquisite imagery in Li Chen's casually mentioned poem, but the phrase "Jing Meiren" utterly ruined it.

"Your Highness is exceptionally talented, the best in the world, but this dissolute nature of yours is simply unacceptable." Su Jin'pa said unhappily.

Li Chen laughed and said, "Jin Pa's talent is also not inferior to mine."you are despicable!”Jin Xueyuan felt like a lamb that had already stepped into quicksand. She wanted to turn back, but it was too late. Worse yet, Li Chen, this devil, was still pulling her deeper an...
