Bone fragments, shredded flesh, and feathers were mashed together, viscous blood plasma dripping from Li Yinhu's fingers.

The sharp bone shard pierced through Li Yinhou's palm, so the blood dripping at this moment, it was unknown whether it was from the parrot or his own.

But Li Yinhǔ's expression did not change in the slightest, as if nothing had happened to him.

He casually threw the already dead parrot on the ground. Li Yinhou pressed a lever, and the bookshelf in the study shook violently, revealing a hidden room.

Entering the chamber, the dimly lit room automatically ignited a few lamps.

The room, though small, was covered in intricate patterns that sent a shiver down your spine. The atmosphere was chillingly oppressive.

In the middle of the room, several men in black sat cross-legged.

When Li Yinhǔ walked in, one of the men in black stood up, took off his hood, and revealed a face creased with age.

The man in black bowed respectfully to Li Yinhou.

"Your Highness, please be well."

Li Yinhu said with an impassive face: “In the near future, there will be an imperial decree from this king to King Zhao.”

A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes, and he bowed again: "Congratulations, Your Highness."

There is nothing to congratulate.

Li Yin's eyes were cold as he said, "This king hasn't been granted a fief yet, but the empress has promised that the quota of 300 personal soldiers will not be reduced. This king will work to get you all assigned to the personal guard. It could be considered an opportunity..."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty Zhao. We have already trained eighty highly skilled assassins. These assassins are ruthless and desireless, their only loyalty is to the King. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, they will carry out suicide without hesitation."

Li Yinhu finally showed a hint of smile on his face and said, "I will secretly send people here, and I will find a way to give them an identity."

"Once the imperial decree arrives, this king will go to thank his father."

"Take a message to the White Lotus Sect, and tell them to organize a group of masters. They must be the absolute best masters, for this king has a great use for them."

The old man in black robe said softly, "Your Highness, the White Lotus Sect has shown some signs recently and is now being hunted by the East Factory with all its might. Several of their contact points in the capital have disappeared. They are probably not willing to send more masters at this time."

They will come.

Li Yinhu let out a cold sneer, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.

"Tell them, I will assassinate the prince!"

......

The next day, Xi Zheng Hall.

Li Chen was immersed in reading the imperial edicts.

In the previous morning court dispute, Li Chen managed to regain the initial drafting authority over imperial edicts. Although the final determination still rested with the Cabinet, the East Palace could now officially manage and approve edicts, a far cry from merely reviewing them before.

This is a big step from nothing to something.

Therefore, Li Chen's work also became noticeably more demanding during this period.

The Three Treasures were reporting in front of the hall.

Recently, the Dongchang has been very effective in eliminating the White Lotus Sect. Six of their contact points have been uprooted in the capital city, 34 people have been killed, 67 captured, and more than 80 others are still being pursued. Orders have been sent to the Dongchang branches across the country. As long as they are still active, it is only a matter of time before they are caught.

Li Chen remained silent.

He believed that under his own pressure, Sanbao and the entire Dongchang would inevitably pursue the White Lotus Sect like mad dogs, and it could be achieved in a short time.

If this material were put into a story set in the future, it could probably be used to make several movies about the Dongchang and the protagonist as the villain persecuting righteous heroes of the martial arts world.

But Li Chen didn't care.Chapter 750: Scolding the Empress
