Chapter 495: Only This King Can't
The rest of the prisoners were similar in nature.
Everyone heard that just by drinking this, they could sleep soundly for an hour, and no one said a second word before rushing up to drink it.
After finishing all of this, Sanzhao and Zhou Ping'an left the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
Upon seeing the bright blue sky and sunshine outside, Sānbǎo, who was normally ruthless and cruel, felt a sense of detachment as if he were in another world. He sincerely said: “Today, Lord Zhou has allowed me to open my eyes.”
Zhou Ping bowed respectfully and said, “Lord, you flatter me. It’s just doing my duty for the Prince. If there’s anything I can do in the future, please send someone to inform me.”
"Such is good, then I shall take my leave first," said San Bao with a sly smile.
"You're too kind."
After the pleasantries were over, Sanzhao said: "The enemy is planning to attack tonight. As I can't stay here long, please wait for me a moment, Zhou."
"Take your time, Sir."
Watching San Bao lead the people from the Eastern Factory away, Zhou Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly, then chuckled softly and turned back to his office at the Ministry of Justice.
That day, the entire capital city was eerily calm, as if all parties had retreated into hiding.
Under the cover of this peaceful, dark night, a group of people quietly crept to the location of the Ministry of Justice prison. They were prepared to take action under the cloak of darkness.
At this time, within Zhao Wang's residence.
Li Yinhu was drinking with Long Huaiyu.
Although there was fine wine and delicious food, the two of them hardly touched their chopsticks.

Li Yinhu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. He said, “I don’t know why, but this king has a bad feeling about something.”
"The prince is too much of a worrywart."
Long Huaiyu's expression remained calm as he said, "We have run through this plan many times, and it is guaranteed to succeed. Moreover, the Eastern Palace has shown no response so far, indicating that they are unaware of our plans. As long as the Eastern Palace remains unprepared, there is no reason for this plan to fail."

You don't know.
Li Yinhu frowned and shook his head, saying: "You haven't dealt with the one from the East Palace many times, so you don't know how terrifying he is."
The most terrifying thing about the Crown Prince is that until the very last moment, you never know what he's thinking or what he's planning to do. By the time you realize it, you've already become a toy in his hands, with no room to resist.
His gaze drifted past the window, towards the direction of the East Palace. Li Yinhu gritted his teeth slightly and said, "To be honest, the prince before he was given the power of regency and the current prince are completely different people. If I didn't know it was impossible, this king would truly suspect if they were even the same person."
The current crown prince is like a crouching dragon in the Eastern Palace, deadly to touch.
Long Huaiyu listened to Li Yinhou finish his words with a stoic expression. He couldn't help but think of the day he was invited by Li Chen for a meal... A flicker of fear flashed in his eyes as well.
He and his father had thought they had the capital situation and the East Palace Crown Prince figured out, but in the end, they realized that from the beginning, they were nothing more than clowns.
Slightly clenching his fist before slowly releasing it, Long Huaiyu stated calmly, "Your Highness, are you afraid?"
"If you are afraid, you can simply become a carefree prince, not vying for power or wealth, and certainly not thinking about that supreme position. In this way, it would be like putting on a show for the world. The Crown Prince will also take care of the prince in the future, leaving behind a good reputation. It's still not too late."
"Scared?"
Li Yinhu turned abruptly, his face contorted into a ferocious grimace, and sneered: "Anyone can be afraid, anyone can retreat, but this king cannot!"
