Chapter 502: Please Help, Lord Advisor <<<
"At this point, who else could the prince turn to for help if not the cabinet?"
"What the prince needs to do is have Zhao Xuanji help him secure a power position, one that is directly related to the White Lotus Sect. Only then will the White Lotus Sect be wary of the prince and refrain from completely breaking ties with him."
By this point, Li Yinhu had gained a considerable understanding.
"I understand!"
He sprang to his feet and said, "This king will go to Zhao's mansion immediately."
Time waits for no man, Li Yinhu set off immediately.
After half an hour, Li Yinhu, who had disguised himself, entered Zhao's mansion through a side door.
Under the butler's lead, they saw Zhao Xuanji who was wearing a coat and had just gotten up.
"King Zhao's late-night visit must be for an important matter."
Li Yinhu bowed deeply, his hands clasped together in a gesture of respect. He said earnestly, "Please, Elder Statesman, save me."
Zhao Xuanji reached out to help Li Yinhou up, saying, "No, no, Your Highness Zhao is a respected prince. How can you show me such great respect? If there's something I can do, just say it, and I will certainly help."
Li Yinhu listened to Zhao Xuanji's polite words, inwardly cursing this old fox. He was indeed still dissatisfied with his gradual estrangement.
Burying all emotion, Li Yinhu said: "Tonight, the prison of the Ministry of Justice was broken into. Those who were rescued are members of the Bai Lian Evil Sect who were to be beheaded tomorrow. Do you know this, Grand Advisor?"
Zhao Xuanji nodded and said, "I received news earlier. I was also planning to go to the East Palace, but things calmed down quickly. I was just going to ask during the court tomorrow morning, how come it's related to King Zhao now?"
Li Yinhu lamented, “Lord Elder, you and I are on the same rope. You are Xiao Wang’s guide, so at this moment, please don't pretend to be oblivious.”

"What do you mean?"
Zhao Xuanji said calmly, "Your Highness has been busy with affairs lately, and this old man hasn't had the chance to see you. I don't know what Your Highness has done, so how could I pretend to be clueless?"
"Elder, this matter is related to Xiao Wang."
Li Yinhu gritted his teeth and said with shame on his face: "Although Xiao Wang is foolish, he also knows that at this time, he must not provoke those lunatics from the White Lotus Sect. That's why he hired someone to rob the prison. However, who knew that all of this had been anticipated by the East Palace..."
Listening to Li Yinhu's full account, Zhao Xuanji remained expressionless.
"Your Highness, the truly foolish one is you," Zhao Xuanji said calmly after Li Yinhu had finished speaking.
Li Yinhu said with regret on his face, "Little Wang has realized his mistake, but now the damage is done. I beg you, Elder, to help me."
"How should I help, Your Highness?" Zhao Xuanji asked.
Li Yinhu gritted his teeth and said, “Please, esteemed elder, help Young Wang obtain the authority to thoroughly investigate this case. We should use it to eradicate all Bai Lian Jiao strongholds within Beijing and the provinces of Zhili.”
Zhao Xuanji remained calm and said, "This matter is likely difficult to advance. The East Palace will not easily agree."
"That's precisely why I sought your help, Elder Advisor."
Li Yinhu stood up and bowed again, saying, "Please help me, sir!"
Zhao Xuance looked at Li Yinhou who bowed deeply before him, he closed his eyes slightly.
Zhao Qinglan was stabbed, and it was very likely that Li Yinhu orchestrated the attack. He already knew this.
But since things didn't go as bad as they could have, the old fox in politics wouldn't let his emotions get in the way.
On a personal level, he dislikes Li Yinhǔ very much, but in terms of political interests, he knows he has to support him.
