Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

I really want to say that there's another entity you can't afford to mess with.

but.

I absolutely cannot admit it; if I fall into this trap, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Eunuch Hou gave us some information, otherwise we would have been in trouble.

He Zongwei was so frightened that he regained his senses, and the scene from last night kept replaying in his mind.

"There's also Prince Jing's heir, Li Hongcheng, and apparently another young man, and a great beauty."

Upon hearing this, Guo Youzhi slapped him hard across the face.

"What young beauty? If you don't explain yourself clearly, I'll skin you alive."

My son was almost beaten to death, and you still dare to talk nonsense here.

He Zongwei was terrified.

"It was a man and a woman. Judging from the situation, Prince Wei, Li Chengze, seemed to respect the couple very much."

Guo Youzhi was speechless again, and raised his hand to slap He Zongwei in the same symmetrical way.

But Li Chengqian, who seemed to have thought of something, grabbed him.

"Lord Guo, please stop hitting him. If you hurt his mouth, you won't be able to get anything out of him later."

But his mind became increasingly clear that it wasn't just Li Chengxian, but also the woman beside him.

Guo Youzhi nodded, but his right hand did not loosen. Instead, he raised his leg and kicked He Zongwei, making him howl in pain.

"Tell me, who are those young man and woman?"

He Zongwei rolled his eyes, inwardly screaming: If I had known, I wouldn't have said so earlier! You should see for yourself what kind of question you asked!

"Speak! It's all your fault, you fool, for bewitching my son and causing him to commit such a grave mistake."

Guo Youzhi kicked again.

The time has come; everyone is starting to overstep the rules and try to find someone to take the blame for them in this book, the Crown Prince's!

"This isn't something I intentionally revealed," Li Chengqian muttered deliberately.

"I did think of someone, but if it really is him, I'm afraid we'll all die."

After saying this, Li Chengqian sighed inwardly:

They are, after all, my right-hand men. If I don't save them, who will work hard for me in the future?

Whether they survive or not depends on themselves.

Guo Youzhi loosened He Zongwei's collar and looked at Li Chengqian.

"Death? Is there anyone in this world, besides the Emperor, that His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't dare to lay a hand on?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian realized something was amiss. "I'm so powerful, how come I didn't know?"

Where did you put those princes and dukes?

Li Chengqian inexplicably felt that Guo Baokun's lawlessness was probably due in no small part to Guo Youzhi's influence.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, and he wanted to start criticizing, but then he remembered that the other party was one of the first high-ranking officials to stand up and support him.

After calming down, Li Chengqian's head started throbbing again.

"I dare not speak of this person in detail, but this is the Emperor's decree."

But if that's really the case, then Guo Baokun is probably beyond saving.

What audacity! They dare to cause trouble without even understanding who the person is.

This is the capital city, after all.

Guo Youzhi understood as well.

Li Chengqian was clearly mocking himself.

This is the capital city, right under the emperor's nose. Do you think I'm just a Minister of Rites, not the emperor himself, and that's why I dare to act recklessly?

Another point is that Guo Baokun is too careless in his work.

This was a prelude to abandoning a pawn. Guo Youzhi was startled, but dared not say it aloud.

However, they misunderstood Li Chengqian; the other party was truly someone they couldn't afford to offend.

"I beg Your Highness to consider the plight of my father and me, and to serve you faithfully. Tell me who this person is."

"I can't say, but I can tell you who can help you find him: one of them is your father."

The other one is my aunt, Princess Li Yunrui. Remember, I haven't revealed any information about her.

Guo Youzhi was completely disappointed in Li Chengqian. What he wanted was not connections, but to see Li Chengqian stand up for his own.

Weak, too weak.

Guo Youzhi remained silent and walked dejectedly toward the imperial study.

From afar, he saw Li Chengze and Ye Ling'er kneeling outside, and immediately turned and left.

Anyone with eyes can see that they are involved in this matter, and Emperor Qing doesn't even give face to the Prince of Wei. How much does he think he is?

In this way, only Princess Li Yunrui remains as the only option.

Thinking of this, Guo Youzhi gritted his teeth, trying to regain some confidence, and quickened his pace.

As Ye Wan said, if you want to figure it out, you'll have to run yourself ragged!

at the same time.

In a secluded, dark room in the Ye residence, Ye Wan took a whip soaked in salt water and lashed it hard at Guo Baokun, who was nearly dead.

When she was dragged out, she was only wearing a white silk nightgown, which is now stained red with blood.

The whip marks were crisscrossed, like encountering a rabid dog in the wild, leaving the skin torn and the flesh ripped open.

call.

Snapped!

Wow, Guo Baokun is instantly full of energy!

"Will you tell me or not?!"

Guo Baokun rolled his eyes helplessly.

"What exactly do you want me to say?"

You know perfectly well!

*Snap!* Ye Wan lashed out with the whip again.

Guo Baokun was going crazy and started crying out.

This guy was completely stunned, screaming in his mind: Good heavens, I was dragged here before I even woke up, and before I could say a few words, I was beaten up.

say what?

You should explain the problem clearly.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Ye, please let me go. You have to tell me what the problem is."

"You know perfectly well what the problem is!"

Ye Wan assumed that Guo Baokun was just being stubborn, pretending to be ignorant when he knew the truth, and probably trying to protect the person behind the scenes.

"I know your grandpa, I know."

"Oh, still being stubborn? Even after all this, I, Ye Wan, respect you as a true man. Men, bring the branding knife!"

The stove, covered in sharp knives, was carried up.

Guo Baokun's eyes widened in surprise, and he felt a tingling sensation in his lower body, followed by a warm flow.

Seeing that he had already urinated, a nearby guard stepped forward and said:

"Sir, is it possible that he genuinely doesn't know what we're asking?"

Ye Wan's hand, which had just picked up the dagger, froze.

"you sure?"

"Judging by this guy's backbone, he probably won't be able to withstand military torture."

Ye Wan disgustedly avoided the urine that was about to flow to his feet, but did not put down the sharp knife.

So stupid?

Ye Wan almost laughed out of anger.

He stepped forward with a knife.

"Tell me, who instructed you to report Zui Xian Fang last night?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Baokun shouted it out again.

"No one instructed us; this is just a little trick."

As an official under the Crown Prince, how could I not interfere when I saw the King of Wei hosting a banquet for distinguished guests?

This is something any faction within the Eastern Palace would do!

Ye Wan suddenly felt that this was a bit outrageous, a petty trick?

Did you know that even this little trick caused the capital's garrison to fall into its trap?

He made a cut right through Guo Baokun's skin and flesh.

A scream, accompanied by the pungent smell of burnt meat, instantly filled the entire house.

"I already told you, are you still going to cut me?"

Leaving Dapu!

"I just wanted to test whether you were lying."
