章節 750: 318: The underlying power of the lurking cloud

Facing Su Xinyi's incredulous gaze, Yan Junchu appeared unfazed, "There's nothing to be surprised about. Li Ji's punishment isn't just because of his mistakes but also serves as a warning to the Li Family. However, as for the Zhangping Mansion incident, firstly, there is no solid evidence. The Li Family covered their tracks well this time, we can't just rely on a few words of testimony. Secondly, Father still needs the Li Family, so naturally, they can't be taken down."

Su Xinyi's heart sank, "Isn't that unfair to Your Highness?"

"Where can one find fairness in the court? It's all just a matter of weighing pros and cons and restraining each other. Look at those courtiers, each wearing a face of righteousness and loyalty, but who knows how they act in private? It's not just about the Li Family, but also the courtiers supporting Prince Xiang behind them."

Su Xinyi felt her heartache as she watched the Crown Prince speak with such an indifferent tone.
