Chapter 507: Giving MedicineChapter 491: Three Strategies for Superior, Middle, and Lower Ranks

Half an hour later, the East Palace.

Sān Bǎo bent over and stood respectfully before Li Chen, whispering, "My lord, King Zhao is so bold as to plot a prison break. Should I have the Dongchang experts arrange an ambush to catch him red-handed"

Li Chen played with the piece of paper in his hand. It was written in Xu Wei's handwriting, a simple sentence.

Tonight at midnight, King Zhao will break into the prison to save Bai Lian.

Putting down the note, Li Chen said, "No need. Just go and call Zhou Ping'an."

The Three Treasures respectfully responded with a sound, then immediately left.

Soon, Zhou Ping'an walked steadily and calmly into the Xizheng Hall, bowing to Li Chen.

"I am Zhou Ping'an, your humble servant. I have met the Crown Prince."

Li Chen gestured to the Three Treasures to give the note to Zhou Ping'an.

When He Zhou Ping'an received the note and read its contents, Li Chen said: "Before this, this palace ordered King Zhao to oversee the execution of these White Lotus Sect followers."

Zhou Ping was quick-witted and immediately understood most of it.

"King Zhao is unwilling to provoke the White Lotus Sect, or perhaps there are vested interests involved, he cannot be the executioner."

Li Chen nodded and said, "It's always easy talking to intelligent people. What do you think we should do about this"

Zhou Ping'an said, "It depends on what Your Highness wants to do."

Among the ministers, there are three strategies: superior, middle, and inferior.

The worst option is to ambush King Zhao, catching him and his accomplices red-handed.

Li Chen smiled and said, "What about the middle plan and the best plan then"

The best plan is to transfer these prisoners beforehand, making Zhao Wang's efforts futile.

As for the best strategy, it is to meet force with force.

Zhou Ping'an looked straight at Li Chen and said confidently: "The reason why King Zhao took such a cowardly approach is that he wanted to avoid the negative impact of being the executioner. But what if his little trick completely exposes his crime"

Originally, he came to supervise the execution and still had something to say. As a prince, he was indeed high-ranking and powerful, but he still had to obey the orders of the East Palace and the court. In the end, he was also someone who couldn't act on his own will.

But... what if the people he saves die immediately after he rescues them

Then King Zhao's actions of murder and cover-up are impossible to erase.

Zhou An's words made Li Chen squint his eyes and say nothing.

To be honest, Li Chen hadn't really thought about this before.

But there is no doubt that Zhou Ping'an's ploy was clever, brilliant, and ruthless.

Since the goal is to create a rift between Li Yinhǔ and the Bai Lian Jiao, even making those crazy cultists target Li Yinhǔ, it's obvious that the influence of a public execution officer pales in comparison to quietly eliminating those cultists without a trace.

Because Li Yinhǔ and the Bai Lian Jiao know each other's secrets that cannot be made public.

So, these believers were first saved and then died mysteriously. What does the White Lotus Sect think about this

The first thought that came to mind was that Li Yinhou had killed to cover up the crime.

And once such a thought takes root, it is like a seed that has begun to sprout and is difficult to eradicate.

In the blink of an eye, Li Chen already had a complete plan.

"Treasures."

Li Chen shouted, waiting for San Bao to rush in. Li Chen got straight to the point and asked: "Does the Dongchang have poison"

Sān Bǎo was stunned for a moment.

I feel like what the Crown Prince said is very insulting.

It's like asking a young girl if she's wearing underwear.

But inwardly he thought, he dared not speak idly with his mouth, and immediately replied: "There are all kinds of strange poisons, as long as Your Highness needs them. If the East Factory doesn't have them, then there is certainly no one else in the world who does."
