Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Soon Li Ji saw the emperor.

However, in just two days, Li Ji lost a lot of weight, his eye sockets were bloodshot, and it looked like he hadn't rested for a long time.

In fact, from the moment he learned that Hua Manman was kidnapped, Li Ji never closed his eyes.

He has been running around for the past two days, trying to get him back as soon as possible.

If it weren't for the physical strength needed to find someone, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be in the mood to take a bite.

The emperor naturally knew these things.

He reminded: "It is important to find someone, but your own health cannot be ignored."

Li Ji replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I know."

Seeing his appearance, the emperor knew that he didn't take what he said to heart.

What kind of character he is, the emperor knows very well in his heart, no matter what others say, he will not listen to him before he is found.

So the emperor changed the subject and asked about Concubine Liang.

"What did Concubine Liang say?"

Li Ji said succinctly: "Concubine Liu Gui urged her to take revenge on Man Man."

The emperor frowned, obviously he did not expect that the imperial concubine was involved in this matter.

"Why would she do such a thing?"

Li Ji: "It's up to her to ask herself."

Emperor: "Do you have evidence?"

Li Ji naturally has no evidence.

But he knew what the emperor cared about most.

"Wei Chen learned from Concubine Liang that the person who kidnapped Man Man was Xiao Hong.

You should have heard of Xiao Hong.

He is the major general of Xiliang and the cousin of Concubine Liang.

After the truce between Xiliang and Da Zhou, Xiao Hong has been looking for an opportunity to start the war again.

The reason why he kidnapped Man Man was to prompt the two countries to go to war. "

As Li Ji expected.

Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately sat up straight, and his expression became serious.

"How did Xiao Hong sneak into Da Zhou?"

Xiao Hong is not some unknown person, he has a high status in Xiliang.

He was able to sneak into Da Zhou quietly.

This alone is enough to explain a lot of problems.

Li Ji said slowly.

"Concubine Liang said that it was Concubine Liu Gui who helped deliver the letter, which gave her the opportunity to get in touch with her cousin.

It can be seen from this that Concubine Liu Gui should have known about Xiao Hong's existence a long time ago. "

The emperor's brows became tighter and tighter, and his eyes were already stern.

How could a concubine in the harem get in touch with the major general of Xiliang?

There must be someone outside the palace to help.

There is only one person who can help Xiao Hong sneak into Da Zhou quietly and has a close relationship with Concubine Liu Gui.

The emperor slowly spit out the man's name.

"Liu Ze."

Li Ji said in a deep voice: "In fact, I have long suspected that there is an internal response from Xiliang hidden in the court."

The emperor looked at him gravely.

Li Ji: "Back then, my minister was ambushed by the enemy, and unfortunately he was hit by a poisoned arrow.

The arrow was shot from behind.

At that time, behind Weichen, all the soldiers of our Great Zhou stood there. "

The emperor's expression became more and more ugly: "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

Li Ji lowered his eyes and did not answer.

The emperor looked at him fixedly.

"Have you ever suspected that I sent someone to shoot that poisonous arrow?"

Li Ji still did not speak.

The emperor smiled wryly: "Tiger venom doesn't eat its offspring, so in your eyes, I am not as good as a beast?"

Li Ji lowered his head: "This minister is the son of Duke Zheng, please don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty."

The emperor opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he didn't say the phrase "I am your father".

Now is not the time to discuss such personal matters.

The emperor took a deep breath, suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart, and continued to talk about business.

"Do you suspect that Liu Ze is Xiliang's agent in the Great Zhou court? He was also the one who sent someone to assassinate you?"

Li Ji nodded: "Well, judging from the clues we have so far, he is very suspicious."

Emperor: "But you have no evidence."

Now that Liu Ze is in an important position, he is in the limelight, but he has a gentle temperament and never tries to be strong, so he is very popular among the courtiers.

If there is no real evidence, he will be labeled as collaborating with the enemy and treason, for fear that it will arouse protests from the courtiers.

Li Ji: "The minister asked to search Liu's house. As long as Liu Ze did it, there would definitely be traces left."

The emperor was still hesitating.

Li Ji: "If no evidence can be found, all the guilt will be borne by the humble minister."

The emperor was helpless: "Don't say it as if I have no sense of responsibility. I am worried that the courtiers will use this matter to impeach you again."

There is a natural barrier between Korean and Chinese officials and generals.

In addition, King Zhao acted too aggressively and surlyly, he always did his own way and didn't take the rules seriously.

The officials in the court regarded him as a thorn in their side.

Even if he didn't do anything on weekdays, those officials would find a few mistakes in him.

Not to mention that he will lead the army swaggeringly to search the mansion of the civil servant.

This is simply poking the lungs of civil servants!

If Li Ji is not careful, he will be criticized by thousands of people.

However, Li Ji didn't care about it.

"However they want to impeach, anyway, they only dare to use their lips. If they have the ability, they will come and fight with the humble minister."

The emperor was dumbfounded by his almost rascal appearance.

In the end, the emperor agreed to King Zhao's request.

"It's okay to search Liu Ze's mansion, but try not to hurt anyone until you find clues."

"Wei Chen understands."

Time was running out, Li Ji left the palace immediately without delay.

At this time, Hua Qingqing was still in labor, and her cries became more and more shrill.

The emperor glanced at the closed door of the delivery room, and whispered instructions to Zuo Ji beside him.

"Send someone to seal the Lingxue Palace, no one is allowed to enter the Lingxue Palace without my permission."

Zuo Ji's heart shuddered: "Here!"

...

Inside Lingxue Hall.

Concubine Liu Gui hurriedly finished writing a letter, and was about to order someone to send the letter out of the palace and hand it over to her elder brother, reminding him that things might come to light and he had to make early preparations.

However, Quan Fu hurried in at this moment.

"The big thing is bad, and the flying dragon riders surrounded our Lingxue Palace, saying that it was according to the saint's order that no one is allowed to enter or leave here.

Empress, what should I do? "

Concubine Liu Gui trembled all over, and the letter in her hand fell to the ground.

It's over.

The emperor must know everything!

Zijuan bent down and picked up the letter on the ground.

Concubine Liu Gui slumped down on the soft couch, the blood on her face faded away, her eyes were full of fear and panic.

Zicuckoo put the letter on the candlelight.

The orange candle flame quickly burned the letter to ashes.

She said unhurriedly.

"Instigating Concubine Liang to take revenge on Concubine Zhao is not a serious crime, but collaborating with the enemy and treason is a serious crime.

Once verified, the family will be ransacked and exterminated. "

Concubine Liu Gui raised her pale face and stared blankly at Zicuckoo in front of her.

After a moment she stood up abruptly, crying.

"It's all your fault!

It's all because of your instigation and design that I have fallen to this point!

Even if I die, I will drag you to hell with me!

And the master behind you, don't want to be alone!

If you want to die, everyone will die together! "

Rubbing your hands, is there a monthly pass?
