ly lowered his head and dropped his hands, wishing he could vanish on the spot for fear of incurring Zhao Xuanji's wrath.Zhao Xuanji also noticed his own agitation.He took a deep breath. Years of navi...Chapter 893: Confession

Rapid breathing, heart pounding.

Although it's summer now and the weather is getting hotter, the capital city at night is actually still quite cool.

Ke Guanzhi's forehead was covered in cold sweat, he swallowed hard and stammered, "Your Highness, what do you mean Your servant is loyal to you."

"Good evening, sir."

Saba, who had been standing behind Li Chen the whole time, finally spoke.

He said in a sinister tone, “It’s pointless to quibble now. The fact that His Highness came himself gives you a dignified choice. Mentioning Lord Guan's service to the East Palace just now was a way of telling Lord Guan that His Highness still remembers this old favor and hopes you won’t waste his kindness.”

Gu Zhiwei's expression was stiff, his body trembling.

He didn't speak.

I don't know if it's because they're afraid, or because they don't know what to say.

Seeing that Li Chen didn't speak, San Bao continued, "Lord Guan, do you still remember the mission to quell the rebellion that you were assigned"

"Of course I remember."

Guan Zhiwei laughed heartily and said, “The task was completed very successfully.”

It's just too perfect.

Sān Bǎo sneered, "It's not just you. Xu Changqing and Zheng Baorong also received the same mission. It's just that the destinations of the three of you are different. But the other two went in vain, only you harvested a lot. Guan Da Ren doesn't find it strange"

"That doesn't mean I'm a traitor!" Guan Zhiwei suddenly shouted.

"Guan Zhi Wei!"

"Sān Bǎo seemed to have lost his patience and coldly said, "Are you still harboring a sliver of hope Would I, Sān Bǎo, wrongly accuse you Wouldn't the Prince do so as well!"

"You received the message and immediately informed Zhao Xuanji. In order to be safe, Zhao Xuanji moved everyone else out, but because they were protecting you, he left behind the people in the place you needed to go, using their lives to guarantee your safety."

But he was too smart for his own good, and didn't realize that doing so would expose you.

"Neither you nor Zhao Xuanji could have expected that we already have information about many of his hidden rebel bases, could you All the locations have been changed, but the only one where you went, Huá Lóng Dao Guān, had both the person and the stolen goods. How do you explain this"

"Besides, how much salary have you received over all these years How have you managed to support your family, provide for your aging parents, and even help out your siblings When did Qin officials become so wealthy"

The more Sanbao spoke, the uglier Guan Zhiwei's face became.

Finally, the Three Treasures sneered and said, "Your Highness came today because of our past relationship. If you continue to harbor false hopes and prevaricate, don't blame me for using the Dongchang's methods on you."

Those in the know understand the methods of the Dongchang.

Those who don't understand, needn't understand.

Guan Zhiwei understands very well.

So he knelt down right there.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness!!!"

Guan Zhiwei burst into tears, smashing his head against the ground frantically. He sobbed and said, "I received Zhao Xuanji's assistance when I was still a jinshi. At that time, I didn't think much of it because all jinshi would receive such assistance."

"But who knew, this funding followed me to court as I rose through the ranks. The more positions I held, the more funding I received. I considered refusing, but Zhao Xuanji wouldn't allow it. He even threatened me, saying whether I accepted once or a hundred times, the outcome would be the same. I had no choice but to accept."

"Actually, this humble minister is also very frightened and wants to escape all of this, but the mistake has already been made, this humble minister truly has no way out."ut, he knew that Zhao Qinglan was definitely inside."Sister, won't you come out and see me"After a few days, Zhao Tai came appeared haggard and dejected. He was a far cry from the suave and confident...
