The guard guarding the door diligently opened the door of Leng Palace.
As soon as Zhao Jin walked in, he saw that the courtyard of Leng Palace was overgrown with weeds. Although the palace in front was a palace, it was dilapidated.
Almost instantly, Zhao Jin recalled the side hall in Prince Liang's Mansion.
He lowered his eyelids, retracted his thoughts, and walked directly towards the dilapidated palace inside.
"Squeak."
The sound of opening the door made the person inside jump out of bed, "Who? Is Father going to..."
Zhao Xingzhen's voice stopped abruptly when she saw Zhao Jin, "Zhao Jin?"
He lay back on the bed again, without even looking at Zhao Jin, "Why, are you here to watch our joke?"
"The Seventh Prince is joking." The familiar environment made Zhao Jin feel a little bad, and he was too lazy to go around in circles with Zhao Xingzhen.
"I came here to ask about private salt."
Zhao Xingzhen laughed coldly, "Isn't the private case closed? Why are you still asking this palace?"
"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince knows very well, doesn't he?" Zhao Jin randomly picked a chair and sat on it, crossing his legs and looking at Zhao Xingzhen who was escaping at leisure.
Zhao Xingzhen had a cold face and said nothing.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, only you and the eldest prince know where the private salt has gone."
Zhao Xingzhen said reluctantly, "I have already said before that this is the prince. Oh, no, he is the eldest prince now. He is responsible for handling it."
"So His Highness, the Seventh Prince, will leave all this matter to the First Prince and will not interfere with it anymore?"
"So what?"
Zhao Xingzhen turned around, turned her back to Zhao Jin, and said impatiently: "Hurry up and don't disturb my sleep."
Looking at the back of the person in front of him, Zhao Jin was silent for a moment.
Although Zhao Xingzhen is not smart, she is not stupid either.
Even if Zhao Xingyu is responsible for this, he will definitely find out what Zhao Xingyu did with the personal salt.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince," Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Do you think His Majesty will believe it?"
Zhao Xingzhen's back suddenly stiffened.
"Ha," Zhao Jin chuckled lightly as he noticed Zhao Xingzhen's change. He knew he had found the right method.
"In your Majesty's opinion, you and the eldest prince must know about this matter."
"First, he made salt secretly, and then he refused to cooperate with the investigation of the whereabouts of the private salt. How disappointed do you think His Majesty will be?"
"If the whereabouts of the illegal salt are never found out, your Majesty might get angry and..."
"Shut up!" Zhao Xingzhen suddenly got up from the bed and glared at Zhao Jin fiercely, "You are talking nonsense!"
Zhao Jin stood up and said, "Your Highness, Seventh Prince, you should know very well whether I am talking nonsense."
"Furthermore, doesn't His Highness the Seventh Prince want to regain His Majesty's favor?"
"Hahaha!" Zhao Xingzhen laughed, the laughter was sharp and sad.
"Zhao Jin, I have done this kind of thing, and now I have to end up like this. How can I regain my father's favor?"
He squeezed out four words very softly, "A fantasy."
"If you don't try it, how will you know if it's a fantasy?" Zhao Jin took a step closer to Zhao Xingzhen.
"At least, if you are willing to confess, His Majesty will feel less disgusted with you."
Zhao Jin slowed down his tone and said mildly: "Besides, who doesn't make mistakes?"
"As long as you are a human being, you will make mistakes sometimes. Try your best to make up for it afterwards. Your Majesty will always remember His Highness' kindness."
Zhao Xingzhen's breathing quickened a bit, his eyes straightened, and he murmured: "You said it nicely."
Zhao Jin just looked at Zhao Xingzhen, "Did I just say it nicely? Your Highness will know if you try it?"
After saying this, Zhao Jin straightened his robes and said softly: "Your Highness, please think about it carefully."
He turned around and walked toward the door, walking leisurely and leisurely.
It seems that whether Zhao Xingzhen said it or not, it has little to do with it.
When Zhao Jin stepped out of the palace door, Zhao Xingzhen's somewhat depressed voice came from behind him, "This palace said."
The corners of his mouth were raised, but Zhao Jin's voice was not revealed, "Your Highness is a smart man."
Zhao Xingzhen sat on the bed, "The illicit affairs are indeed handled by the eldest prince, but I don't know anything about it."
He nervously grasped the quilt on the bed and said, "The eldest prince sold these private salts to Lilong Kingdom."
Establish the Long Kingdom?
Zhao Jin's eyes flashed slightly. Trading salt and iron secretly with other countries was tantamount to treason.
Zhao Xingzhen also knew about it, so he was a little nervous, "The eldest prince made a deal with Lilong Kingdom."
"What deal?" Zhao Jin asked coldly.
"Yes, as long as the eldest prince sells his private salt to the Lilong Kingdom, the Lilong Kingdom can make the eldest prince's goods sell well in the country, and purchase goods from the Lilong Kingdom at a discount."
Zhao Xingzhen swallowed the oral examination and continued: "Moreover, the price offered by Lilong State is very high."
Zhao Jin took a breath and said, "The Long Kingdom has been unable to grow for many years because of the lack of salt. What you are doing is simply raising a tiger sleeping next to the Zhao Kingdom!"
"This matter was not done by my Highness!" Zhao Xingzhen reacted fiercely and roared.
Zhao Jin looked at him coldly, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, don't you know?"
"My Lord...that's not right!"
Zhao Xingzhen stared at Zhao Jin with increasingly fierce eyes, "Did you just lie to me?"
"cheat?"
Zhao Jin shook his head, "Your Majesty, if you cooperate well, your Majesty's dislike of Your Majesty will certainly be reduced."
"However, I did not expect that you would actually commit treason with the enemy."
Originally, Zhao Jin imagined that Zhao Xingyu might have kept the salt to hoard salt for rebellion, but he never thought that it was for such a ridiculous reason as money.
Zhao Jin shook his head, turned and left the palace.
But how could Zhao Xingzhen, who thought she had been deceived, let Zhao Jin leave?
He pulled out the dagger from the side of his bed and stabbed Zhao Jin directly with a terrifying force, "Zhao Jin! You lied to me, go to hell!"
Zhao Jin had already felt the strong wind coming from behind him. Just as he was about to avoid it, the guards appeared faster than him.
"Clang!"
The dagger in Zhao Xingzhen's hand was kicked to the ground.
"You dare to hit a slave..." Zhao Xingzhen shouted angrily, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
"I called you, why, no?"
Zhao Qian's figure appeared and looked at Zhao Xingzhen coldly.
Zhao Xingzhen's legs shook and she knelt down directly.
Zhao Jin felt pain when he heard the "bang" sound.
"I see your Majesty."
Zhao Qian waved his hand, "Get up."
He glanced at Zhao Xingzhen, turned around and walked outside, "Zhao Jin, come with me."
"yes."
Zhao Jin did not look back at the limp Zhao Xingzhen.
Walking into the imperial garden, Zhao Qian said puzzledly: "Tell me, how come my sons can't carry it so clearly?"
Zhao Jin was silent for a moment, "Maybe he is still young."
