If not abolished

Chapter 385 Unjustly Accused

After Zhu Zhanqi looked around and saw that there was no one around, he immediately took out a purse from his sleeve.

"Eunuch, this is a small gift. I heard that there was some commotion in the palace last night. I don't know what happened. This will help you avoid taboos in front of His Majesty later." Zhu Zhanqi quickly stuffed the gift to the young eunuch.

The young eunuch's eyes naturally lit up, but he still remembered what Steward Wang had told him before they came, that there were some things he could not take.

"This... Your Highness is too polite. This is really unpleasant. If the steward gets to know about it, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the Qianqing Palace anymore." The young eunuch also hurriedly returned the things.

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, Eunuch Wang won't know either. Now that we've talked, we'll be friends. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future." This time, Zhu Zhanqi stuffed it directly into his sleeve. Suddenly, a few people came over, so the two of them couldn't push and shove each other.

The young eunuch, with the intention of collecting money and helping others to avoid disaster, said, "Last night, a few people almost set a fire in order to destroy the account book evidence. They didn't expect that they would be caught red-handed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's men. However, this definitely has nothing to do with His Majesty's visit to the prince and the young prince today." The young eunuch said with a smile, to reassure them.

These words were like a thunderclap in the ears of the uncle and nephew. Setting fire to destroy evidence, why did this operation seem so familiar, as if they had done it this way last time.

When the two looked at each other, they saw fear in each other's eyes.

It was a terrifying journey. When the young eunuch saw that they stopped talking, he thought that his words just now made them feel relieved.

What he didn't know was that just these few words of his made the two of them feel instantly uneasy.

No matter how anxious, how much you avoid, or how afraid you are, what is meant to come will eventually come.

Just like that. The two walked slowly and finally arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Highness and the little prince can just go in." The young eunuch only escorted them to the door.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

"You are so polite, little prince."

The two of them silently hoped that the matter had not been exposed.

"See Your Majesty."

"You are so slow. It's not long since the court session ended. Could it be that you have already returned home?" Zhu Di's words were of course exaggerated. They were delayed on the road, but not that slow.

The two were silent.

"You are not the type to talk a lot on weekdays. Why can't you say a word for such a long time today?" Zhu Di said, pointing at the two people.

"I don't know what Your Majesty is doing, and I dare not speak easily." said the King of Zhao.

"I dare not. I think you are so bold that you even dare to burn the palace. What else are you afraid to do? Ah?" When Zhu Di heard him say he dared not, he wanted to laugh. If he didn't dare to do it, then no one in the world would dare to do it.

"Your Majesty, this is an injustice to me. Burning the palace is such a serious crime. Even if you give me ten times more courage, I would not dare to do it!" King Zhao naturally cried out that he was wronged and he would definitely not admit to this.

"It's not you, you are innocent. You think I don't have any evidence, right? Come, take a look. Aren't these all the people and spies you planted in the palace? You have really become more capable. You have learned ten times as much of the second brother's treasonous behavior. So, are you planning to rebel too?" Zhu Di threw the evidence at their heads.

"Your son is truly innocent." King Zhao continued to shout that he was innocent.
