"Is everything clear?"

In the Youzong courtyard, Xiao Lizi was sitting on the Taishi chair, looking arrogant.

He was playing with a white jade ring in his hand, and behind him were two eunuchs standing with their hands crossed.

With such a pomp and expression, he looks exactly like another He Chengming.

And in front of him, there was also a eunuch standing.

He bowed his head and cupped his hands, and said straightly: "I already know it."

The corners of Xiao Lizi's mouth were raised, and his smile looked sinister.

"Last time I poisoned the food, but he was lucky enough to avoid it. Now that Zuo Zongyuan is ours, we will just pour poison smoke on him and see how he hides!"

"Zhao Sheng, this little beast, thought he was lucky not to be deployed. I'm afraid he never thought until his death that this happened to be an opportunity for adults to take advantage of."

The eunuch standing in front looked like a coward with a flattering look on his face.

Xiao Lizi felt very useful and asked a eunuch behind him to reward him with ten taels of silver.

"Go ahead, if things are done, there will be great rewards!"

Xiao Lizi let out a sharp laugh and waved his hand to signal the man to get down.

He seemed to have seen Zhao Sheng dying in pain due to poisoning, and couldn't help but laugh a few times.

When he got tired from sitting, he spread out his hands, crossed his legs, and changed to another sitting position.

The two eunuchs behind him hurried forward, stood on both sides and pressed their hands.

Xiao Lizi has practiced martial arts, and his level is not low, and his rubber bands are as hard as iron.

The two eunuchs had to use all their strength to push him down comfortably.

"Congratulations, sir, for finally getting your wish and pressing this little beast to death."

The eunuch on the left smiled flatteringly.

The eunuch on the right immediately answered: "Yes, this little beast has caused such discomfort to you, and he should have died long ago."

Xiao Lizi's eyes were sinister, and he said fiercely: "If it weren't for this little beast, Xiao Liuzi wouldn't have died, and he wouldn't have let that thief take over!"

The two eunuchs did not dare to talk to each other.

Because they know who the thief Xiao Lizi is talking about.

When Xiao Liuzi died last year, Mr. He saw that the handyman eunuch who served Xiao Liuzi until his death liked him so much that he promoted him several levels in one go.

Now, that adult is Mr. He’s food delivery eunuch!

And this position has always belonged to Xiao Lizi.

This means that he is gradually falling out of favor with Mr. He.

Not only can this be seen, but many subtle things can also be noticed.

For example, Xiao Lizi was originally inspecting another city for General Manager He, but now he was transferred to Zhenshunmen.

You know, the market on the other side of Zhenshun Gate has never been taken seriously by Mr. He.

There is only one other building. According to Mr. He, this is the "treasure basin".

And Xiao Lizi was transferred elsewhere, which was a big "demotion".

In the palace, if you cannot always appear next to a noble person and cannot show your face often, his favor will gradually decrease.

In the palace, the most indispensable thing is dog legs, and there is also no shortage of useful dog legs.

This made Xiao Lizi start to feel scared.

After fear comes anger.

In addition to being angry at the new villain, he was also angry at Zhao Sheng.

"If it weren't for you, Xiao Liuzi wouldn't have died! Our family wouldn't have fallen into this situation!"

Little Plum gnashed her teeth, filled with hatred.

"Why don't you want to die!!!"

But he doesn't want to, everyone wants to live.

In his eyes, Zhao Sheng is just like an ant.

Ants, how dare you resist!

After a while, he regained his indifferent expression and said to a eunuch next to him: "Prepare two bottles of wine. Our family will watch the little beast die with our own eyes to comfort Xiao Liuzi's spirit in heaven!"

……

Zuo Zongyuan, General Office.

Zhao Sheng stood by the window and watched people coming and going outside the house, but he didn't see anyone he knew.

The current Zuo Zongyuan has become the lower house of You Zongyuan.

Fortunately, General Manager Hai and the Second Prince are still here in the General Office, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to keep his position as a food eunuch.

But that doesn't mean it's a good thing.

Because he has no sworn relationship with You Zongyuan.

On weekdays, because the clan residence is quite spacious, the two sides are quite distinct.

But now, he is surrounded by people from You Zongyuan.

He was like a wild beast that fell into a trap, surrounded by hunters who wanted to round him up.

In the past few days, he could often feel strange eyes staring at him in the dark.

He used the Wuji Palace of Heaven and Earth to smell it, and he found that those people all had the fragrance of small plums.

It seems that Xiao Lizi is going to take advantage of this good opportunity to take action against him.

But this can only be regarded as a personal grudge.

From the perspective of outsiders, in the eyes of You Zongyuan, he can only be regarded as an appetizer. The real main dish is the second prince who is under house arrest here.

Now everyone with a discerning eye knows that this is You Zongyuan's campaign to encircle and suppress the second prince.

Don’t you want to stay at You Zongyuan? Then I will change the day of Zuo Zongyuan to You Zongyuan.

So, where else can you escape?

But He Chengming of Youzongyuan does not have this ability or the courage.

Everything behind this must be controlled by He Qiansui.

Hearing that there had been no breakthrough in the bizarre case two months ago, the emperor was very angry and sent many of the important figures from the Five Guards of the Forbidden Army into prison.

Although He Qiansui is deeply favored by the emperor, at this moment, he is probably very anxious.

The second prince was also rumored to be involved in this matter that day. After further observation by Zhao Sheng, he found that his highness was very different from that He Qiansui.

Perhaps, He Qiansui wanted to completely prove the charges against the second prince and regain His Majesty's trust.

If he really succeeded, everyone involved in Zuo Zongyuan would be in trouble.

When Mr. Hai was under house arrest, he was suspected of being close to the second prince.

Should be caught.

But the leader of Zuo Zongyuan was arrested, and the little guy could only resign himself to his fate.

But he happened to be in conflict with You Zongyuan again.

This is very unkind.

But Zhao Sheng is not desperate about this.

Because he didn't smell anxiety and fear in the second prince.

Perhaps His Highness already has a countermeasure in mind.

But the second prince didn't say anything, which only made the people in Zuo Zongyuan anxious.

"This person seems gentle, but in fact the city is quite deep and cannot have too many interactions."

Zhao Sheng had a mental evaluation of the second prince.

The night is deep.

The cold wind kept pouring into the house. He stood up and closed the window and glanced under the eaves. The lanterns were shaking and the light and shadow flickered, making people feel uneasy.

It's snowing again.

In the black sky, heavy snowflakes fell slowly, intersecting with turbulent light and shadow.

This winter, we can’t afford to freeze to death again.

Zhao Sheng turned around, lit the candlestick, and was about to cross his legs for luck when he suddenly heard several sounds of tearing paper.

He glanced at it and saw a bamboo pipe peeking out of the window paper on all four sides, with thick white smoke pouring out of it.
