Chapter 429: The Panicked Emperor

For a moment, Zhao Zhang Wei almost felt that Zhao Wang Lei knew everything. He lowered his head and looked around the room from the corner of his eyes.

One of his hands was inside his sleeve on the dagger that was hidden inside.

He sighed in relief when he didn't feel anyone's presence. The next moment, he heard Zhao Wang Lei asking him

"Zhang Wei, Zhen is asking you something."

It was only at that moment, Zhao Zhang Wei realized that Zhao Wang Lei was genuinely curious. In fact, he could even see the panic lingering in his eyes.

He was panicked because Xi Ying met Empress Dowager.

What did it mean?

Zhao Zhang Wei didn't know but to test the water, he said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Her Majesty had indeed said something to Prime Minister Xi. However, this one doesn't know what it was."

"How can you not know?"

Zhao Wang Lei shouted and threw away the book in his lap.
