The Eighth Prince Xin is in the palace.
"Master, Tian Linwen sent someone to send a message asking for help. You must ensure that he is safe and sound!"
Aide Zhang Shanzheng reported this urgent news to Xiao Chengyan.
"We can't keep Tian Ce any longer. Arrange for someone to get rid of him immediately."
There was a blazing fire in Xiao Chengyan's dark eyes.
As the Minister of Revenue, Tian Ce was the first person to secretly defect to him.
He helped him raise large sums of money and was a very useful right-hand man.
Now, it has come to the point where we have no choice but to sacrifice the car to save the driver.
The person who found evidence of Tian Ce's guilt so easily was his good cousin Xiao Lichen, who was ruthless and decisive.
"Master, Prince Yong should not be underestimated! Without our knowledge, he commanded the Xiaoyu Guards to gather all the evidence of Tian Ce's crimes with lightning speed. Now, it's too late for us to save him."
Zhang Shanzheng shook his head helplessly.
Xiao Chengyan stood with his back to him, his eyes slightly lowered, his hands hidden under his sleeves, clenched into fists, shaking slightly.
Xiao Lichen, you've ruined my plans again. I've endured this for so long, and I don't want to endure it any longer.
"Master, that Princess Anle is no pushover. She also played a role in Tian Ce's imprisonment in the Dali Temple today. When you marry her, you must send someone to keep a close eye on her."
Zhang Shanzheng carefully told Xiao Chengyan what Tao Yuwei had done in the Dali Temple today.
Xiao Chengyan sneered after hearing this, "She relies on that person's favor and is a vulgar person who likes to be in the spotlight everywhere.
Apart from her arrogant attitude, she has no redeeming qualities. In my opinion, she is a little bit mentally abnormal.
He acts like a madman all day long, doing things without considering the consequences, and only cares about his own happiness. He is not worth worrying about."
Her reputation in this imperial city is already as bad as it can be.
He has achieved half of his goal, and he will think carefully about how to do better for the rest.
Zhang Shanzheng thought about it and felt that what the eighth prince said made sense, so he didn't say anything more.
"Send someone to tell Tian Linwen that if he wants to save his life, he must quickly separate himself from the Tian family. Otherwise, I won't be able to save him."
Tian Ce has become an abandoned pawn, but Tian Linwen is still of great use and must be protected.
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"
Zhang Shanzheng bowed respectfully and left.
After everyone left, Xiao Chengyan called his men and said, "Go, send some people to keep an eye on Xiao Lichen. If necessary, they can take action directly."
A dark shadow disappeared behind him in the blink of an eye.
The Huo family of the Minister of Works.
After receiving the news that Tao Yuwei had left the restaurant safely and some people were taken away by His Majesty's Royal Guards, Huo Xiujie's face turned pale with fear.
Those who deliberately approached Tao Yuwei in the restaurant and flirted with her and humiliated her were specially arranged by him.
This is bad. Once the Royal Guards find out from those people that he is the mastermind behind this, the Huo family will be reprimanded by His Majesty at best, and in the worst case, it will be very serious.
If his aunt, who is imprisoned in the cold palace, is implicated by him, the situation will only become more grim.
Huo Xiujie was trembling as he paced back and forth in his study room when the door was pushed open from the outside.
"What are you frantically doing?"
As soon as the Minister of Works Huo Wei entered the room, he sternly reprimanded his son for his unstable behavior.
"Dad, it's bad. I...I did something wrong again. Please help me."
Under his father's majestic gaze, Huo Xiujie recounted his action of sending people to throw dirty water on Tao Yuwei.
"You idiot! His Majesty is almost running out of tolerance for our Huo family, and you, on the other hand, only cause me trouble. Come with me to the palace, admit your mistakes to His Majesty, and kneel down to beg for mercy from Princess Anle, begging for her forgiveness!"
Huo Wei kicked his son several times in frustration.
His sister, Concubine Huo, was disliked by His Majesty and banished to the cold palace. His nephew, the Fourth Prince, was so outrageous that he even raped several young concubines in His Majesty's harem. When His Majesty found out, he was imprisoned in the clan house.
This incompetent son of his plotted against Princess Anle, who was deeply favored by His Majesty.
They were also caught on the spot by the Imperial Guards. In order to vent Princess Anle's anger, His Majesty will not go easy on the Huo family.
It would be very dangerous if His Majesty sent Xiao Yuwei to investigate the Huo family on some pretext.
Huo Wei knew very well that Emperor Jianchang had been dissatisfied with his family for a long time.
Last time, the Fourth Prince committed a crime and was imprisoned. As the Fourth Prince's uncle, he was ordered by His Majesty to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors for three months and was fined one year's salary.
He has been sidelined from the important affairs of the Ministry of Industry. If he continues to wait like this, his Huo family may very well cease to exist.
He would never allow such a thing to happen.
Huo Xiujie was beaten so hard that his whole body was in pain, but he still had his sanity. "Dad, His Majesty has sentenced you to confine yourself to reflect on your mistakes for three months. It's not even a month yet. How can you bring your son into the palace?"
He was not afraid of being reprimanded by His Majesty, but he was afraid of bringing trouble to his family.
My sister is still waiting for her cousin, the Fourth Prince, to come to the clan office to get married.
Their whole family knew that the Fourth Prince was not a good match, but they had no choice but to marry him.
My younger sister is pregnant with the Fourth Prince's child. My aunt has already sent someone to deliver a letter. If she gives her a few more days, the Fourth Prince will be able to be released from the clan residence.
The culprit who caused their Huo family and their aunt to be banished to the cold palace was Princess Anle.
She even exposed her sister's shortcomings in front of many important people, causing her sister to be deeply shocked and depressed.
He and Anle have reached the point of a life-and-death struggle.
He didn't want to go at all to have his father apologize to Anle in person.
