Li Zhang did not go to see Zhao Zhen, but followed Luo Chongxun away from the imperial tomb alone. It was not until he left that he asked the wild dog to inform Zhao Zhen because he did not want Zhao Zhen to get involved in this matter. After all, given Zhao Zhen's current situation, even if he wanted to help, he might have been implicated by himself.

"Prince Li, if I were you, I would definitely go and see Your Majesty. Maybe Your Majesty can still plead for you." On the carriage back, Luo Chongxun looked at Li Zhang sitting opposite him and sighed softly.

Luo Chongxun was also aware of Li Zhang growing up, and his friendship with Lu Wu was quite good. In addition, Li Zhang has respected him quite a lot over the years and did not despise him because he was a eunuch, so he still had some feelings for Li Zhang. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to let Li Zhang stay with Li Shunrong for a while before, so he had time to explain the method of taking medicine.

"I heard that I had just treated Li Shunrong with illness. Although it was a bit more than the courtesy, the eldest lady should not do anything to me, right?" Li Zhang calmed down at this time, then looked at Luo Chongxun and smiled. He had made up his mind now that he went to see her for illness because he heard that Li Shunrong was sick, and he didn't know anything else!

Seeing that Li Zhang suddenly started to cheat, Luo Chongxun was stunned at first, then shook his head and smiled bitterly again: "You don't have to pretend anymore. Last time you took Your Majesty to meet Li Shunrong, the Empress Dowager was already suspicious. This time you took such a big risk to treat Li Shunrong again. Do you think the Empress Dowager would not guess?"

"I can't guess anything. The doctor is kind-hearted. I'm just going to treat the disease. What is the eldest lady suspicious?" Li Zhang decided to pretend to be stupid to the end. Anyway, he wouldn't admit it if he bites him to death. What should Liu E do to him then?

I have to say that Li Zhang's acting skills exploded at this time, and his face was full of confusion and a bit of sincerity, which made Luo Chongxun a little doubt whether he was really wrong. Could it be that Li Zhang really had no knowledge of Li Shunrong's affairs?

The above thoughts flashed through Luo Chongxun's mind, and then he shook his head suddenly. He was almost deceived by Li Zhang. Judging from Li Zhang's performance in Li Shunrong just now, this kid must have known something, but now he is desperate to admit it. Obviously he wants to pretend to be stupid. However, thinking of Liu E's shrewdness, Li Zhang's pretending to be stupid must not escape her eyes.

Thinking of the above, Luo Chongxun smiled and said nothing, but Li Zhang felt something from his smile. He was also a little guilty at the moment, but no matter how guilty he was, it was useless. Now he could only hold on.

The carriage returned to the capital as fast as possible. Luo Chongxun did not speak any further along the way, and Li Zhang closed his eyes to rest. It was not until the carriage entered the imperial city that Li Zhang opened his eyes and looked at the towering palace outside the window and said silently.

It was still the familiar Chuigong Hall. Li Zhang didn’t know how many times he had been here, but it was the first time he felt a heavy pressure from this hall. Luo Chongxun sent Li Zhang to the door of the hall and stopped walking in, and then signaled him to go in by himself.

Li Zhang sighed secretly, "It's a blessing or a disaster," he couldn't escape it. Since he had come, he had sacrificed his life, so he walked into the hall. Only then did he realize that the entire hall was empty, and all the palace maids and eunuchs who could be seen everywhere had disappeared.

It was not until Li Zhang entered that he saw Liu E sitting behind the desk. However, today Liu E did not review the memorials, but sat quietly, as if she was thinking about something. It was not until the sound of Li Zhang's footsteps woke her up from her meditation.

"See the Grandma!" Li Zhang stepped forward and walked and said with a polite manner. He also tried his best to restrain himself, making his expression as natural as possible and not reveal any flaws.

However, after Li Zhang saluted, he did not wait until Liu E spoke, nor did he let him stand up. This made Li Zhang bend over and dare not raise his head. After a while, he heard Liu E say in a very tired voice: "You already know what happened back then, right?"

Li Zhang was also shocked when he heard Liu E's words. He was about to admit it according to his original plan, but when the words were on his lips, he didn't know why. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't say it. Finally, he nodded in a silly way and said, "Yes!"

"Bang!" As soon as Li Zhang said, Liu E slapped the desk with anger, and her face was filled with anger, "You dare to admit it!"

"I...I don't want to lie in front of you, Grandma!" Li Zhang hesitated for a moment and finally spoke again. In fact, he didn't want to lie, but suddenly thought that Liu E's suspicion was, even if there was no evidence, as long as she had suspicion, it would be enough. So no matter how stupid she pretended to be, the final outcome would not change much, and it might even have a counterproductive effect. It would be better to admit it directly.

"When did you know and who told you?" Liu E was even more angry and asked again.

"No one told me that I guessed it a few years ago." Li Zhang replied vaguely. He couldn't say that he knew about this when he first met Liu E. After all, this is too evil.

"What a shrewd boy. Since you already know this, does Your Majesty know it too?" Liu E couldn't help but gritted her teeth and asked. She was also angry and lost her usual calmness, so she didn't bother to ask Li Zhang about the details of what happened.

"There are not a few people in the court who know about this, but who has the courage to tell Your Majesty? I am not stupid, so naturally I dare not reveal a word to Your Majesty. I guess Your Majesty doesn't even know why I was recalled to the capital by the Grand Empress?" Li Zhang replied again with a wry smile at this time. Liu E was indeed the most worried that Zhao Zhen would know the truth about his life experience.

When Liu E heard Li Zhang's answer, she breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, after knowing that Li Zhang went to Li Shunrong again, she also secretly sent someone to closely monitor Zhao Zhen's every move. After Zhao Zhen knew that Li Zhang was suddenly recalled to the capital, although he was very puzzled and even a little angry, he did not react too violently. It is estimated that in Zhao Zhen's opinion, Li Zhang might have been urgently recalled to the capital because of something important. It can be said that he did not think about Li Shunrong at all.

It was precisely the judgments drawn from the above, coupled with what Li Zhang said in person that Liu E was temporarily relieved. However, when she saw Li Zhang in front of her, her face also darkened again. She didn't know that Li Zhang knew the truth about Zhao Zhen's life experience before, so she felt relieved to let Li Zhang stay by Zhao Zhen's side, and she also favored Li Zhang, and even treated him as her nephew.

But now Li Zhang has known Zhao Zhen’s life experience, and even knows that Li Shunrong is his aunt, which makes Liu E both angry and disappointed, and even feels sad that her beloved thing was stolen.

Li Zhang lowered his head when facing Liu E's scrutiny. He knew that Liu E was thinking about how to deal with him now, which would also determine his fate. Although he felt that Liu E's personality should not really kill him, people's hearts were unpredictable, so he was extremely nervous at this time.

After a while, Liu E suddenly sighed, and then said quietly: "Li Zhang, what should you do with the Ai family?"

"It depends entirely on the great lady's will. No matter how the great lady punishes me, I will never complain!" Li Zhang saluted again immediately. Since he could not resist, then enjoy it.

However, Liu E frowned at this time. If she was an ordinary minister, she could demote the other party or even remove the official title, but Li Zhang didn't care about this at all, so the method she used to punish officials was completely ineffective for Li Zhang. Moreover, she believed that with Li Zhang's ability, even if she demoted the other party to Lingnan, he could still live a good life.

Of course, Liu E has not been killed, but she is not a bloodthirsty person. Even Li Shunrong's confidant, she did not kill the other party, but kept the other party in the palace. What's more, she always treated Li Zhang as her parents and nephew, so she never thought of killing Li Zhang from the beginning.

Since he didn't want to kill, the ordinary punishment method was useless to Li Zhang, which made Liu E a little worried. As a result, the distress turned into anger. He waved his hand and said angrily: "Discused Zongzheng Temple temporarily to wait for treatment!"

Zongzheng Temple is the yamen that manages the genealogy of royal family, clan, and relatives. At the same time, if the royal family violates the law, it will be handed over to Zongzheng Temple for trial. After all, the royal family has a noble status, and ordinary yamen dare not care about them, so Zongzheng Temple was established, which is specifically responsible for supervising the use of royal family's relatives.

Although Li Zhang and Liu E recognized their relatives, their relationship was relatively far away and they were not qualified to enter Zongzheng Temple. However, Liu E didn't know what to do with Li Zhang now, and she couldn't bear to put him in the Kaifeng Prefecture prison, so she thought of Zongzheng Temple. Anyway, since she now holds great power, no one dares to disobey the orders she issued.

As Liu E made the decision, Li Zhang was immediately taken away and sent to Zongzheng Temple. Zongzheng Temple was also in the first half of the imperial city. It was a coincidence that it was close to the firearm surveillance, but Li Zhang had never been here before, and he didn't know what the Zongzheng Temple looked like?

However, Li Zhang soon learned that the front half of Zongzheng Temple was like an ordinary yamen, and there was even a prison. If the royal relative who committed a serious crime was sent here, he would still be imprisoned in a prison.

Originally, Li Zhang thought he would not escape the prison this time, but he did not expect that he was not sent to the prison, but was detained in a small courtyard behind Zongzheng Temple, surrounded by guards, and he could not get out at all, which was equivalent to putting him under house arrest here.

Li Zhang was not afraid of house arrest. Anyway, there was food and drink here, but he knew that he was locked up here was only temporary. Liu E should have not yet thought about how to deal with him, so in the next few days, he would also decide his destiny, and he had even made the worst plan.
