After careful consideration, Li Chen decided to start investigating the most likely suspects.

Although Sanbao, Su Zhen Ting, and even Zhao Rui and Zhou Ping'an were all suspect characters, such meticulous surveillance would require the Dongchang to deploy its most elite agents. The manpower and resources consumed would be unimaginable.

Most importantly, Zhao Rui is right beside me, and Zhou Ping'an has gone to Nanhe. Besides, whether it's Zhou Ping'an or Su Zhen Ting, their status is special, and their abilities are extraordinarily strong, making them easily discovered.

Li Chen still decided to narrow the scope of surveillance first.

Identify the mole from among these most likely suspects.

After all, Su Zhetong and Sanbao and Zhao Rui are really not suspicious.

Although Zhao Rui was initially sent by Zhao Xuanji, she has since defected to our side. Now her entire family relies on the East Palace, there's no reason for back-and-forth anymore.

Maybe it was all a play from the beginning, but Li Chen didn't think that was likely.

Because from the time Zhao Rui switched sides to that present moment, too many things happened in between. These things Li Chen himself couldn't control, let alone how Zhao Rui could have figured it out at the time

As for the Third Treasure, his reasoning is the same as Su Zhen's.

If these two people were the moles, then Li Chen could concede by throwing his cards away.

These two people are too important, so there's no need for this. They know they lost very clearly. They know what will happen to them after Zhao Xuanji wins.

These two people have truly tied their entire lives and fortunes to the East Palace. To bring down the East Palace is to bring themselves down.

Thus, Li Chen's gaze naturally fixed on the remaining few people.

Sān Bǎo sank his voice and said, "This servant understands. This servant will be personally responsible and absolutely won't let any slip-ups happen. This servant will definitely find this traitor."

Waving his hand, Li Chen said: "To find the mole, surveillance alone isn't enough, it's too passive."

"If this mole truly exists, then whether it's him or Zhao Xuanji, they must be extremely cautious and would only reveal themselves as a last resort. It's even possible they will wait until the very end to make their move. Therefore, to quickly identify this mole, we need to find a way to encourage them to come forward."

Sān Bǎo seemed thoughtful, as if he had already understood Li Chen's meaning.

Li Chen smiled and said, "If the mole is among these four people, his most important purpose in infiltrating here is to eavesdrop on the actions of the East Palace, especially those targeting Zhao Xuanji. And once they learn that the East Palace will take a big action against Zhao Xuanji, this mole will definitely try every means to tell Zhao Xuanji what he knows."

"To illustrate, we assign the four people numbers one through four. If Zhao Xuanji knows which number corresponds to a specific person, then he'll know who the ghost is."

After Li Chen's explanation, the Three Treasures suddenly understood. He smiled and flattered: "Your Highness is quick-witted, and I am in awe of you."

Li Chen said impatiently, "If you have this time, it's better to help the palace deal with a few more things."

"Let's start with the first person.... Zheng Bao Rong, bring Zheng Bao Rong here."

Knowing that the Crown Prince was in a bad mood, Siba didn't even dare to fart and immediately turned around to call Zheng Baorong over.gestions and a comprehensive review of the situation. If the East Palace and the Inner Cabinet disagree, a meeting can be held at court to reach a consensus. Once everything is finalized, it will be s...
