Chapter 357 The final word

Zhou Chang walked slowly and then found a place by the railing to sit down.

He looked up at Liu Dexia again and went straight to the point: "You framed Li Zhi and put him in prison. What is your intention? Are you trying to drag me down with you?"

Since Liu Dexia saw Aunt Jing with her own eyes that day, and even if she didn't see it with her own eyes, could it be that during the years when Prince Yi was in the palace, Aunt Jing had been in contact with Li Zhi, and there was still someone who didn't know?

"What are you talking about, Your Highness Prince Yi? How could I frame Li Zhi?" Liu Dexia had expected this and asked a question even though he knew the answer. "But why did Your Highness say that he was trying to drag you into this? Could it be that Li Zhi's incident is also related to Your Highness?"

Zhou Chang knew that his words had loopholes, but there was no need to beat around the bush: "You know what you are thinking, and I will not make things difficult for you if you release Li Zhi."

Liu Dexia smiled unscrupulously with a donkey face, pretending to be confused: "Your Highness, you are joking. I have always been dedicated to serving the Emperor and Concubine Yi in the palace. What difficulties can there be?"

Zhou Chang knew that this was a mockery of Prince Yi's inability to do anything to him, and he sneered in his heart: "This kind of thing is common in the palace. How come Li Zhi has become the third in command, and someone still dares to falsely accuse him?"

Liu Dexia spread his hands and said, "Li Zhi's affairs have nothing to do with me. As long as he confesses who he had an affair with outside the palace, the rest will be decided by the law. But from what His Royal Highness Prince Yi said, it seems that he suspects that I have falsely accused him. I am so wronged."

"It's not 'seemingly' but definitely. Who else would do this except you?" Zhou Chang tapped the railing of the pavilion with his fingers, and he was also calm and composed. "However, this matter can be big or small. Since it is you, the chief steward Liu, who falsely accused me, there must be a way to solve it, right?"

"I am really wronged..." Liu Dexia made a face of grievance, but at the same time he seemed to be making things clear, "But if he hadn't gotten into trouble, I wouldn't have known that Li Zhi and Jing Xin from His Royal Highness Prince Yi's residence are from the same hometown. I really made a mistake in my judgment before."

Zhou Chang's sparkling phoenix eyes showed no sign of weakness, and the corners of his mouth curled up beautifully: "So what? They are from the same hometown, so they should care about each other. Does this matter have to be reported to His Majesty? I can accompany you to the end. However, has Liu Da Zongguan thought it through? I was giving you a chance just now."

"I don't understand what Your Highness means." Liu Dexia squinted his eyes and thought for a while, feeling that he was impeccable. "However, I heard that Li Zhi and Aunt Jing have known each other for a long time. They have been in contact since they entered the palace, before Your Highness was born. At that time, Concubine Lan was still alive. If I remind Concubine Guifei to investigate, maybe she can find out something that Your Highness doesn't know, but for Concubine Lan, who has passed away, I don't know if it will affect her reputation."

Zhou Chang's heart felt like it was cut by a knife.

Prince Yi's consciousness almost exploded when his biological mother, Concubine Lan, was mentioned.

Zhou Chang tapped his fingers and grasped the railing tightly. Only by forcibly suppressing the impulse of Prince Yi Fengming, his smile became more genuine: "Liu Xia, you really are..., it's you who have such a wicked idea. Since you don't want to drink the toast, don't blame me for being rude."

He even dared to mention Prince Yi's biological mother, Concubine Lan. There is no room for maneuver left.

"Your Highness, I am Liu Dexia," Liu Dexia's eyes were filled with frost, "After all, I am still a member of the Emperor and Concubine Yi's side. Although Your Highness Prince Yi is a prince, he cannot do whatever he wants in this palace. If there is no other order, I have to hurry to do my work, so I will take my leave first."

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet." Zhou Chang sneered in his heart, but his face returned to a amiable smile, "Why did Chief Steward Liu get angry when I called you Liu Xia?"

"Hehe, Your Highness, please don't call me the chief steward." This time it was Liu Dexia's turn to sneer, feeling complacent. "I have several people above me, the first of whom is the chief steward Fang She. If he hears this, my life will be difficult."

"Alas..." Zhou Chang sighed, and his fingers resumed their brisk tapping. "If it weren't for the inconvenience for me to come forward directly, I wouldn't have come to you, Chief Steward Liu, to ask for help. It's a pity that Chief Steward Liu is actually a 'righteous and upright' person, hehe..."

Zhou Chang stared at Liu Dexia with his pair of almond-shaped eyes and smiled beautifully, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

Liu Dexia's heart trembled for some reason.

"In the north of Jindu City, in Wanhuafang, the courtyard of No. 13, Chief Steward Liu should be familiar with this place, right?" Zhou Chang stared at Liu Dexia word by word and revealed his trump card.

Liu Dexia's face immediately stiffened.

"What are the names of those three girls?" Zhou Chang pretended to think, "Xiangju, Lumei, Chunxi? Eunuch Liu is really a refined person. He orders 'Yipin Ningxiang' and 'Dulan' from Prince Duan's Yaoyuefang every month. I wonder if he can really enjoy them endlessly."

Liu Dexia felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, his eyes wide open, and it took him a long time to speak: "Yi, Your Highness Prince Yi, how did you know?"

"How should I know this? It's not your turn as a servant to worry about it." Zhou Chang turned his head away in disgust.

This information was obtained when she was You Wan. You Wan would prepare special ecstasy oil for Liu Dexia every month, and would sell some pills to the people in his house from time to time.

Originally, Zhou Chang only knew from You Wan's memory that the things were supplied to a eunuch named Liu who had a high status in the palace, but with a little association, it was not difficult to confirm that the person must be Liu Dexia.

Therefore, we only asked Shouhou to do a quick check yesterday and it was confirmed.

Liu Dexia was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.

Zhou Chang looked down at the rockery from the pavilion, and said with a carefree look: "Liu Xia, you just need to release Li Zhi and reinstate him, then your outer residence and the things you did will not be reported to His Majesty. Otherwise, even if you are a favorite of Concubine Yi, what does it matter? You have to think carefully before doing this."

"Slave, slave, slave..." Liu Dexia opened his mouth dryly and wanted to say something else.

"It seems that we can finally make a decision," Zhou Chang had already stood up and smiled contemptuously, "I'll give you three days. If you can't do it by then, don't blame me for being rude."

Liu Dexia's face sank to the bottom. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything.

Zhou Chang achieved his goal and didn't want to waste even a second with Liu Dexia, so he walked straight out of the pavilion and down the rockery.

"Hey, why didn't I notice it when I came up just now?" Zhou Chang stretched his neck curiously. It seemed that he was in a good mood and everything he saw was different. He even had the ability to discover beauty.
