"Father!"

King Xuan fell to the ground and tried to plead for mercy, but Emperor Hui had already walked away, leaving only one sentence behind:

"King Xuan is so capable, you are not allowed to help him!"

"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty!"

When several people saw Emperor Hui dealing with the matter in this way, they knew that King Xuan was in trouble.

The Prime Minister and Lord Cui exchanged glances and prepared to escape.

"Mr. Prime Minister, my father has misunderstood me. You must help me!"

"It's late at night. How can my old bones stand such torture? I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed for the next few days!"

After the old prime minister finished speaking, he deliberately bent his back and coughed a few times.

"Even though I care about Your Highness, I am afraid I can't help you. Your Highness, please forgive me!"

"you……"

King Xuan was so angry that he could not speak, but he was full of energy when he made the complaint just now.

He turned to look at Lord Cui who was standing beside him. Lord Cui was still cold and saluted to King Xuan without waiting for him to speak.

"My secret agents in the Ministry of Justice are not as good as the ordinary guards in Your Highness's palace. I am ashamed. I will go back and reflect on my mistakes. I am leaving now!"

Seeing that the Prime Minister and Lord Cui had left one by one, only the Jingzhao Prefect was left hesitating there. Just as the Jingzhao Prefect was trying to muster up the courage to step forward and say something, King Xuan had already waved his hand impatiently.

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture left in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.

King Xuan was upset when he entered the palace and suffered repeated setbacks. He wanted to wait until dawn to go into the palace to meet Concubine Yun and think of a solution.

Unexpectedly, the palace maid came to report that Emperor Hui had issued an order that King Xuan was not allowed to enter the palace to see Concubine Yun before the case was concluded.

Emperor Hui was really angry with King Xuan this time. Even Concubine Yun might be implicated. King Xuan had no choice but to leave the palace and return home.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back to the palace, King Xuan no longer had the high spirits he had when he entered the palace. He felt tired and full of anger.

Zhou Pei, this idiot, must have been tricked by someone to get this information, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence.

Sending this information to me without clarifying the cause and effect is simply courting death!

Or maybe, this Zhou Pei was sent to Prince Xuan's mansion by the fourth or eighth brother specifically to harm him?

Thinking about the last incident in the City Defense Camp Prison, he was just a little bit away from getting in, but in the end he fell into the trap set by the Fourth Brother.

Thinking about this time again, no matter how I look at it, it seems like Lao Ba had planned this all along.

The old prime minister has always admired the Eighth Elder. If he fails to handle this case well, wouldn't that be exactly what the Eighth Elder wants?

King Xuan now has a gloomy face and is full of anger. He will definitely go back to the palace to find someone to vent his anger on.

Zhou Pei stayed in Prince Xuan's palace all night and did not dare to leave, waiting for Prince Xuan to return with good news.

As soon as King Xuan entered the palace, he asked the steward, "Where is Zhou Pei now?"

The steward saw that King Xuan looked unhappy and answered cautiously, "Master Zhou is still waiting for you in the study."

After hearing this, King Xuan did not answer and walked straight inside.

Zhou Pei sat there for half the night, and at dawn he finally couldn't hold on any longer and dozed off on the desk.

At this time, Zhou Pei had no idea that King Xuan had walked in until there was a "bang" in the study, and Zhou Pei rolled to the ground in a mess.

Zhou Pei got up from the ground in a daze, opened his eyes and saw King Xuan with a ruthless look on his face. He shuddered wildly.

"My lord, what happened?"

"what happened?"

King Xuan stepped forward and kicked Zhou Pei's broken leg again. Zhou Pei groaned and fell to his knees.

"How dare you ask me what's wrong? Tell me now! Who sent you to harm me?"

Zhou Pei finally came to his senses. He thought that King Xuan must have had a bad experience entering the palace, so he took his anger out on him when he came back.

"Your Highness, please calm down. I have been following Your Highness wholeheartedly. How could I harm Your Highness? Your Highness, please understand!"

"Clear and discerning? Very good, very good! I will show you how I can clearly discern!"

After saying that, he walked up to Zhou Pei and started punching and kicking him.

Not to mention that Zhou Pei had a broken leg now. Even if he was healthy, how could a weak scholar like Zhou Pei be a match for King Xuan who had learned riding and archery since childhood.

Zhou Pei's screams were heard repeatedly in the study, and the servants in Prince Xuan's mansion looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wasn't Mr. Zhou quite appreciated by the prince? How did he suddenly anger the prince and make him do such a cruel thing?

For a moment, the entire Prince Xuan's Mansion was silent, and no one dared to go to the study to bring bad luck.

Naturally, what happened in the study had already reached Concubine Fang's ears. King Xuan's temper had always been like this. When things were good, he would be very nice to him, but once things were bad, he would immediately turn his back on people.

Zhou Pei will definitely not have a chance to turn things around this time.

"This princess has never met this guy alone, and I have never known about his affair with that bitch Yu Ying'er. Do you understand?"

Concubine Fang asked the nanny beside her with a serious expression, and the nanny immediately understood Concubine Fang's intention.

"I understand. I will take care of it."

The nanny stepped back and silenced those who knew about these things one by one.

In the study, King Xuan finally got tired of beating his opponent and stopped.

Zhou Pei was still lying on the ground shivering. There was a cut on his head and blood was all over his face. The scarred half of his face looked as terrifying as a ghost.

"Don't you know who you are? How dare you plot against me! No matter who sent you, I will teach him a lesson!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness! I have truly been planning for Your Highness with all my heart. Ever since I followed Your Highness, I have never had any second thoughts, Your Highness!

Your Majesty, please think about what I have done for you on a daily basis. I am loyal to you with all my heart!"

Zhou Pei endured the pain all over his body, struggled to get up, and banged his head loudly.

"It would be fine if you didn't say it, but once you did, I got angry! How could it be such a coincidence? You were the one who brought back the news about the prison in the city defense camp last time, and you were the one who brought back the news this time too.

You let me fall into other people's schemes every time, and you still dare to say that you are loyal to me? You are a dog that betrays its master, so it's better to kill it early! Come here!"

King Xuan wanted to send someone in to teach Zhou Pei a lesson, but his long-servant came in to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, calm down. If the fight continues, I'm afraid someone will die. Today, His Majesty has just suspected us. I don't know how many eyes are staring at our Prince Xuan's Mansion.

If we kill someone and throw him away at this time, it may cause more trouble. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

When he entered the palace, Chang Suibian was beside him and had a clear understanding of King Xuan's situation today.

After hearing this, King Xuan finally calmed down and sat on the chair.

"Your Majesty! Please give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

Zhou Pei stepped forward to beg again, but King Xuan kicked him away.

"Do you think this king will still believe you?"

"Throw this man out. From now on, he is not allowed to appear in front of me, and he is not allowed to work for anyone. I want to see if the person behind you will come to save you!"
