Prince, what should we do now?

If I had known earlier, I would have listened to Hou Junji and sent him away before Zhao Chen came.

Now……

Seeing Luo Tong leading a group of people to search around the Prince's Mansion, Du He's face was full of worry and regret.

Before Zhao Chen came, he would have listened to Hou Junji and sent Hou Junji away from here.

They wouldn't be so restless now either.

Hou Junji is in the Prince's Mansion. If we continue the search like this, it will only be a matter of time before we find Hou Junji's hiding place. ??

Once Zhao Chen catches Hou Junji, they will not be able to escape the crime of harboring a traitor even if they want to escape.

Zhao Chen is here today, most likely to take revenge on Li Tai.

If Hou Junji is really caught, it will be hard for Du He to believe what will happen to people like him.

At this moment, Li Tai's hands and feet felt cold.

Looking at the people in front of him who were searching even the blind spots, Li Tai's heart was in his throat.

No need for Du He to tell him, Li Tai also knew that once Zhao Chen caught Hou Junji in his prince's residence.

What will be waiting for you?

Who would believe that Hou Junji came here by himself?

Especially Zhao Chen, if he can get some evidence at will, he, the prince, will probably be dead.

What's going on inside now? Where have they searched? Li Tai asked in a low voice.

He carefully glanced at Zhao Chen standing in the yard in front of him.

The situation is not good. There are people guarding the commanding heights everywhere. Once Hou Junji appears, he will not be able to escape their eyes.

The search in front has been completed. Next is the west wing, where Hou Junji is arranged.

It's just that we don't know what is going on with Hou Junji yet! Du He whispered to Li Tai about the current situation.

The wing room where Hou Junji is located will be searched soon.

Everywhere in the East Palace was closely watched by people arranged by Zhao Chen. Once Hou Junji showed up, he would definitely be discovered.

When Li Tai heard this, his face became even more ugly.

\u003e Go and take a look first, be careful, don't be discovered by Zhao Chen. Li Tai and Du He whispered.

Du He glanced at Zhao Chen and saw that there was no movement from him, so he carefully stepped back, avoiding Zhao Chen's gaze, and went to the west wing from the side.

Zhao Chen, my father really values ​​you so much that he actually asked you to search the East Palace. Li Tai walked up to Zhao Chen, his tone sounding resentful.

East Palace, the residence of the Crown Prince.

Just letting people search at random?

Li Tai already resented the emperor in his heart.

On New Year's Eve, he lost a bet with Zhao Chen and was asked to get out of Li Zheng Palace. Li Tai could still convince himself that the emperor was fair and would not favor anyone.

But today, without any reason, the emperor actually allowed Zhao Chen to bring people to search his prince's residence.

Li Tai couldn't figure it out, and he was filled with resentment.

If the emperor hadn't inexplicably agreed to Zhao Chen coming to search the East Palace, would Li Tai be so worried now?

If Hou Junji is discovered...

I just told Your Majesty that Hou Junji escaped from prison. If we want the prince to get rid of the suspicion of harboring prisoners, we must conduct a search.

Your Majesty thought about it and naturally agreed.

Li Tai, you didn't really hide Hou Junji in the East Palace, or did you plan Hou Junji's escape from prison? Zhao Chen looked over and looked at Li Tai with a smile.

Zhao Chen understood that Old Li Tou was still very generous to him.

So he didn't want to sow discord between Li Tai and Lao Li Tou, nor did he add fuel to the conflict.

Otherwise, it only takes a few words to make Li Tai completely resentful to Old Li.

Of course not. Li Tai looked cold.

No matter what, he would never admit that he had anything to do with Hou Junji.

Not to mention that it was not him who helped Hou Junji escape from prison in the first place, but it was just in case he was found later.

Hou Junji, he also had to look extremely angry and surprised.

Otherwise, how could he be fooled in front of Zhao Chen.

Hou Junji has nothing to do with me. Even if he appears here, he sneaked in on his own.

If I see him, I will definitely capture him on the spot. Li Tai said coldly.

But he was trying to distance himself from Hou Junji.

Your Highness, if Hou Junji knew you said this, I don't know how angry he would be!

Sir, this was found in the west wing. Luo Tong came from behind and glanced at Li Tai sarcastically, holding a piece of sapphire in the shape of a unicorn in his hand.

This was given to Hou Junji by His Majesty in the Taiji Hall after he returned from his expedition to Tuyuhun.

Hou Junji has been here before. Luo Tong and Zhao Chen explained. .??.

Zhao Chen took the jade pendant and looked at it, but he frowned.

The jade pendant was found, but Hou Junji was missing.

Is that guy perhaps escaping from the East Palace?

You've been busy for so long, all in vain?

Li Tai's heart nearly jumped out of his chest when he saw Luo Tong bringing Hou Junji's jade pendant.

But when Luo Tong said that Hou Junji had been here, Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Luo Tong only said that Hou Junji had been here, it meant that they did not find Hou Junji.

As long as Hou Junji is not found, Li Tai will be safe.

It's just a jade pendant, how can it treat him as a prince?

Zhao Chen, how do you feel after spending so much time and finding nothing? Li Tai looked at Zhao Chen jokingly with a relaxed smile on his face.

Go and have a look. Zhao Chen ignored Li Tai's sneer.

He now wants to know how Hou Junji escaped under the complete blockade of so many people.

More roommates come to the rescue!

Outside Chang'an City, Hou Junji changed his clothes. In front of him, he was the man who had just returned from Ming Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling came out of Demen.

Fang Xuanling looked at Hou Junji without any expression on his face.

Chen Guogong, I don't want to save you. If His Majesty hadn't remembered the friendship in the past, you would have been captured by Zhao Chen today. Fang Xuanling said calmly.

Remembering the love of the past? Hou Junji sneered, looked at Fang Xuanling, and said, Prime Minister, you and I are not fools. If His Majesty doesn't intend to reveal Zhao Chen's identity, will he let me go?

Do you really think he is a benevolent king?

If he had been kinder, the Xuanwu Sect incident wouldn't have happened back then.

Your Majesty also has his own reasons for what happened back then. Furthermore, you, Hou Junji, were the first to rush into the palace. Fang Xuanling frowned.

He didn't quite understand what Hou Junji meant by saying this now.

I didn't want to be promoted to a higher position, but it's a pity that in the end, I have nothing! Hou Junji smiled, his face full of self-mockery.

Fang Xuanling didn't want to say anything more to him, so she waved her hand and signaled Hou Junji to leave quickly.

Prime Minister, in return for saving my life, I have some good news for you. Hou Junji looked at Fang Xuanling with a smile.

Fang Xuanling frowned, but did not turn around and leave.

Actually, Yu Chigong's arrow did not kill His Highness Prince Qi. I saved him.

What? Fang Xuanling's expression suddenly changed.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, they were in a hurry to deal with matters in the palace and did not have time to deal with the bodies of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

By the time they reacted, the place where the corpse was buried was struck by lightning and the fire spread.

When they put out the fire, they could only vaguely make out the appearance of the body.

Li Yuanji was personally identified by Fang Xuanling at that time.

If it were normal, Fang Xuanling would only think that Hou Junji was joking with him.

But now...

Prime Minister, if we say goodbye today and meet again tomorrow, we will definitely repay you well. Hou Junji and Fang Xuanling cupped their hands, laughed, and turned to leave.
