What's Wrong With Being A Salted Fish?

Don't Touch My Tail 5

"Your Highness, you are joking. How would I know what Spring Night Powder is?" Li Hongrui pretended to be calm, pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly and said.

"Really? But this was found in your house." Zhao Jingming touched his chin and shook the small porcelain bottle in his hand.

Before Li Hongrui could think of a reply, Zhao Jingming pretended to be enlightened: "Could it be that someone framed you?"

Seeing Zhao Jingming giving him a way out, Li Hongrui was overjoyed. 

Before he could go down the stairs, he heard Zhao Jingming say, "but just now, Master Li also said that he was innocent. In fact, you are the criminal. You won't use the same trick twice, right?"

Li Hongrui was stunned. He didn't understand what Zhao Jingming meant, but looking at his expression, he felt that he seemed to be playing a joke on him.

He is not a criminal at all! Who knows why these things appeared in his house!

But that bottle of Spring Night Powder is indeed his, and he has to get rid of this suspicion!

"This bottle was given to me by a Taoist priest, but I really don't know what's inside it!"

Li Hongrui's expression was sincere and his attitude was firm.

Zhao Jingming didn't mean to cause him any more trouble, he just said it to scare him.

Zhao Jingming threw the bottle high up, caught it, and put it back into his sleeve.

"Then Mr. Li should keep his eyes open in the future to avoid being cheated by some charlatan, don't you think?"

Zhao Jingming smiled, then turned around and instantly had no expression on his face.

This thing was found by Zhao Jingming's secret guard when he was hiding something in Li Hongrui's room, and it was identified by the imperial physician and was found to be a strong aphrodisiac.

This had nothing to do with Zhao Jingming, but the secret guard said that he saw Li Hongrui talking to the servant of the young master of the Lin family during the day. The servant looked flustered and seemed to have done something to the food. No one knew where he sent it.

He boldly guessed that Li Hongrui wanted to take action against Lin Yuhe.

Is this an attempt to bring Minister Lin into Lord Li's team through Lin Yuhe?

But he could clearly choose to propose marriage in a fair and open way, but he chose this dirty way. He doesn't know what his idea was. It's really disgusting.

Minister Lin is a loyal and good official. How could he let a good official who is loyal to his brother feel disheartened?

On the contrary, Lord Li has been restless recently and his hands seem to be stretching too far, so they need to be cut down.

Li Hongrui didn't dare to talk to Zhao Jingming anymore. He left in a hurry after he turned his back.

"Your Majesty, why don't you blame him? Look at his attitude just now. It really pissed me off!"

Lai Fu was puzzled. Since his master knew about Li Hongrui's despicable methods, and that the other party was even bold enough to attack the children of court officials, he must be severely punished!

"Without solid evidence, will he admit it?" All Zhao Jingming knew was from the reports of the secret guards. 

Although it had been confirmed that he had stolen things before, the emperor had already punished him. If he kept holding on to it, wouldn't it seem that he was going against his brother?
