After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Xu Wei did not immediately go to carry out the task Li Yinhu had given him, nor did he return to his former post.

Instead, he went to a house that Xu Wei had furnished outside the palace.

The house isn't large, but it could certainly accommodate a family of over ten. With servants and maids readily available, it perfectly suits Xu Wei's current status as someone Li Yinhu admires for being loyal and capable.

Here, he also kept the woman he had redeemed from a brothel.

The woman naturally did not know Xu Wei's true identity. She only thought that she was lucky and had been favored by Xu Wei, the king's confidant, who redeemed her.

Underneath her gratitude, this woman obeyed Xu Wei in everything.

Xu Wei was fully immersed in the acting, unaware that many of the servants in his household were informants planted by Li Yinhu. But His Royal Highness had said that when it came to details, one must be meticulous, for often, it is these seemingly insignificant details that reveal major problems.

It was precisely for this reason that Xu Wei, after leaving the prince's residence, returned to his humble abode and reunited with his wife as soon as possible. This perfectly aligns with the mindset of a man who had been away on a secret mission for many days and yearned for the comfort of home.

As expected, within a quarter of an hour after he returned to his own house, someone immediately delivered the intelligence to Li Yinhu's desk.

At this moment, Li Yinhu had just finished bathing and changing. He said calmly, "I told you a long time ago, Xu Wei is not a problematic person. You have investigated him countless times, both openly and secretly, isn't that enough"

Standing opposite Li Yinhu, Zhou Lao respectfully said, "It's always better to be careful."

"Alright, alright. Don't bother me with such things again in the future. You lot are not as smart as half those people. How dare you suspect him" Li Yinhǔ waved his hand impatiently.

And at this moment, Xu Wei had already slipped away from the house through a secret passage, rushing towards the East Palace with all haste. As for the woman who had just been entangled with him to the death, she was already fast asleep, and it was impossible for her to wake up for at least three or four hours.

Xu Weizhi's coming to the Eastern Palace must be for an important matter.

No one dared to stop him, not even Li Chen. As soon as he received the news, he broke free from Zhao Rui's embrace, got up and put on a robe, and met Xu Wei in a small study in the East Palace.

"Your Highness, Li Yinhu wants me to burn down the inn."

Xu Wei's first words upon meeting caused a shadow to cross Li Chen's brow.

"When" Li Chen asked.

"Within three days." Xu Wei replied.

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Quite a cunning plan. This palace just heard that they are going to hold a ceremony for praying to heaven tomorrow, followed by burning down the post house. They're truly afraid of the world not being in chaos."

Xu Wei cautiously asked, "Your Highness, what should I do"

Li Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "You carrying out his orders is just as I planned."

Xu Wei saw that Li Chen already had a plan and nodded, relieved.

Giving Xu Wei a glance, Li Chen said: "You should go back as soon as possible to avoid being discovered. Just endure for a while longer, and you'll be able to return openly."

Xu Wei immediately replied: "Wherever I am, as long as I serve Your Highness, I will be happy to do so."

Li Chen let out a light chuckle and said, "Just for that statement, this palace will grant you wealth and honor. However, as we approach the final stage, one must be even more cautious. While transmitting messages is crucial, it's equally important to prioritize your own safety."iyu are as well.Now Li Chen feels that his standards have been raised, and he can't see ordinary women anymore."It's not really any kind of lesson, just a few words to you."Zhao Qinglan's voice was so...
