"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Emperor Qing looked at Zhang Zhihe with a complex expression and asked.

"Your Majesty, I was born in the Xiyue Kingdom. When I was eight years old, I was selected by my master and sent to the Jiang Kingdom. However, due to a twist of fate, I was spotted by the late Emperor of the Jiang Kingdom and ordered me to sneak into Dajing."

After listening to Zhang Zhihe's words, Emperor Qing stood up suddenly with a gloomy face: "You deliberately approached me back then, but you have been lying to me for so many years."

"Over the years, the guilty subject has wanted to forget his identity as a spy and has always regarded himself as a Dae Kyung countryman. The guilty subject also wants to continue like this."

Zhang Zhihe continued with a sad look on his face, "The guilty minister wanted to protect the peace of the two countries on his own, but he was determined but unable to do so. It would be great if I was born as a Dajin citizen."

"Then are you following the order of the Emperor of Xinjiang this time?" A trace of sadness flashed in Emperor Qing's eyes.

"No, the guilty minister wanted to get rid of Liu Pengcheng before he died. Liu Pengcheng came from the same family as me and is loyal to Emperor Xiyue."

Emperor Qing listened to Zhang Zhihe's words with shock on his face, "He was responsible for the death of Xiao Changgui's family. I received a secret order from the master of Xiyue Kingdom, asking me to assassinate you."

"Why do you have to go to extremes? Why don't you tell me your unspeakable secret?"

Emperor Qing's eyes were full of sadness. He did not betray him. He betrayed his country and killed his allies.

"So what if I tell you, I was born from the Xiyue Kingdom. It is wrong to betray the country and it is wrong to betray friends. The world is so big that there is no place for me."

Zhang Zhihe looked sad. He didn't want to say it originally, but he didn't want to be a treacherous person again, and he didn't want Emperor Qing to feel that he had seen the wrong person. In fact, he had seen the wrong person.

"Your Majesty, I have one last request. If you can, find a windy day, spread my ashes, let me go with the wind, and set me free."

Emperor Qing could not restrain himself for a moment and asked people from Dali Temple to imprison Zhang Zhihe first.

Pingyang Houfu

Mu Chennian dismissed the servants and was alone in the hall with the eldest princess.

"Mom, this is what Zhang Taishou asked me to give to you. Originally, he asked me to give it to you after his death. I think it is better to talk about some things face to face."

The eldest princess took the letter curiously:

"Princess Anle, Anle, I took one glance at you when I was young and kept it in my heart. I have never forgotten it for many years. Unfortunately, I have a rough life experience and cannot control my fate. I can only hide it in my heart. If there is an afterlife, I also hope that you will treat her like an eyebrow for the rest of your life."

"Mom, this is a portrait painted by Prefect Zhang."

Mu Chennian opened the scroll in his hand and said with a complicated expression.

The eldest princess raised her head and looked at the portrait. This was the clothes she wore as a wedding gift. The eldest princess felt mixed emotions in her heart.

When Zhang Zhihe was young, he was talented in both civil and military affairs, and he was handsome and outstanding. Women in the capital also pursued him crazily, but he was not moved. She thought that he only cared about the great cause of his family and country and had no personal relationships with his children. She never thought that he He actually put himself in his heart.

"Mom, he is in the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison now." Mu Chennian looked a little emotional, and he didn't know if his father would be angry if he did this. However, Zhang Taishou will be punished with death this time, and his father should not be able to get along with a person. People who are about to die care about it, right?

The eldest princess thought for a long time, stood up, and said, "Nian'er, go prepare the carriage. Let's go."

"Yes." Mu Chennian responded, turned around and went out, telling the servants outside the door to prepare the carriage.
