Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

In the courtyard late at night, Gong Tan had a cold look on his face.

"That's all."

Looking at the body lying on the ground, Gong Tan looked disdainful.

As the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, Gong Tan has many means.

Although the torture method he showed just now is not bloody and cruel, it can easily make people feel frightened and have a mental breakdown. Even though Huang Ming has experienced a lot of life and death and faced many scenes, he still resisted. Can't live.

"I wonder if His Highness can survive this kind of questioning..."

Suddenly, Zhou Zheng's face flashed in the depths of Gong Tan's mind, and then he covered his mouth and smiled.

Along the way, Gong Tan was taken advantage of too much by Zhou Zheng, both in body and soul!

But faced with Zhou Zheng's almost rogue and even shameless tactics, Gong Tan couldn't really get angry.

There is even a trace of expectation in my heart, hoping that Zhou Zheng can go further.

"No matter what, I'll find a chance to try you."

Biting her red lips, a smirk flashed across Gong Tan's rosy and delicate face.

......

"Everything is as expected by His Highness, Quancheng is not simple!"

Appearing in front of Zhou Zheng again, Gong Tan spoke directly without any nonsense.

She had already gotten some key information from Huang Ming, one of which was that Huang Ming was the man behind the notice posted three days ago to look for Zhou Zheng.

Huang Ming, who is part of the Second Prince's faction, has already secretly received the news that Zhou Zheng is very likely to pass by Quancheng, and what Huang Ming wants to do is to deal with Zhou Zheng as much as possible.

"If that's the case, I'm overestimating him."

After Zhou Zheng heard this, there was not much joy on his face.

He has long been accustomed to being chased all the way.

"Your Highness, I have news, should I tell you?"

Her pretty eyebrows were furrowed, and Gong Tan felt a little embarrassed on her face.

Such a reaction aroused Zhou Zheng's curiosity: "I also want to know what other news you got from Huang Ming's mouth, which will make even the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department feel embarrassed."

Putting down the tea cup, Zhou Zheng raised his head and stared at Gong Tan, his eyes twinkling.

This was the first time Zhou Zheng saw Gong Tan react like this.

"This operation involves the details of Daxia Kingdom."

Taking a deep breath, Gong Tan spoke in a deep voice.

"Great Xia Kingdom!?"

Sure enough, when Zhou Zheng heard these three words, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked cautious and serious!

No matter how serious the quarrel between the second prince Zhou Ting and Zhou Zheng was, it was still an internal issue within the Zhou Dynasty, and it was a battle for the right to inherit the throne.

But once it comes to Daxia Country, the nature of the matter changes!

"Say!"

"Huang Ming has been secretly in contact with Daxia Kingdom these years. The person who is looking for His Highness in Quancheng this time is Daxia Kingdom's work."

"As expected, His Highness's portrait was also provided by Huang Ming."

"It's just that how could a mere city guard have such courage to collaborate with the enemy!?"

As an official of the imperial court, Gong Tan was very aware of the consequences of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. It was by no means as simple as confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. Especially during this sensitive period when the informants Daxia Kingdom and Dazhou Dynasty are fighting fiercely in Beiguan!

"It seems that there is a big fish hidden in my royal family."

How could Zhou Zheng not understand the meaning of Gong Tan's last words?

"No matter who it is, once it involves collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, it will be a crime of death!"

"Even the closest relatives of the Holy Emperor will not have the slightest chance in this matter."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng had already vaguely guessed that the matter of contacting Daxia Kingdom was probably related to his second emperor brother.

The only thing uncertain is where they will go.

"I have to report this matter to Your Majesty."

Seeing Zhou Zheng standing there without speaking, Gong Tan slowly spoke.

She was accompanying him all the way to monitor Zhou Zheng.

It's a pity that the relationship between the two seemed to have undergone some changes unknowingly, so that the news Gong Tan reported back automatically filtered out the things that were not beneficial to Zhou Zheng.

But this time it was different. The matter was so big that even Gong Tan noticed that it was extremely difficult.

One mistake might even stain the Zhou Dynasty with blood!

"Yes, no matter who it is, no matter what the reason is, if it threatens the power of the Zhou Dynasty, it will not work."

Zhou Zheng nodded.

"I haven't become emperor yet, so if you betray me, it's just a fool's errand."

Zhou Zheng thought in his heart, not to mention that he and Zhou Ting were not at odds with each other. The two were in a competitive relationship. Even if they had no enmity, Zhou Zheng would not pretend not to see this matter.

"I believe His Majesty will send someone here soon."

This matter is so serious that Gong Tan alone is not capable of handling it.

“Do you think it’s still too late when the imperial court sends someone over!?”

Zhou Zheng shook his head and sighed.

Although Gong Tan is not weak in ability, he still lacks skill.

"This matter really involves the Second Prince. Do you think anyone from the imperial court will be able to find out any information?"

"When the time comes, not only will everything be in vain, but you will also be implicated."

Zhou Zheng's words made Gong Tan feel a little cold.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?!"

"If the matter really involves the Second Emperor Brother, do you think he will leave behind clues or evidence!?"

"Reporting without substantial evidence, and it concerns the prince. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he can be executed."

Zhou Zheng's voice seemed emotionless, but every word was packed with power, making Gong Tan look pale.

Although she is the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, her identity and status are far from being comparable to that of the prince.

Besides, he is still the second prince who has been fighting all year round and has a high prestige in the army!

"Even Concubine Shu is dead, do you think you can survive?"

Zhou Zheng's last words were like a blow to the head, making Gong Tan sober up instantly.

"Should we just pretend that nothing happened!?"

"I can not do it!"

As soon as Gong Tan's words came out, Zhou Zheng cursed in his heart for being big-hearted and brainless.

"Report how you should report."

"But you have to do more than just pass the news to the one in the palace."

Holding his forehead with his hand, Zhou Zheng taught Gong Tan step by step.

"What else does Your Highness think we should do?"

Gong Tan was also quite upset when he saw Zhou Zheng acting mysteriously.

How long has this happened, and you are still pretending to be serious.

However, when Zhou Zheng remained silent, Gong Tan suppressed her impulse and walked behind Zhou Zheng with a smile on her face. She put her hands on Zhou Zheng's shoulders and kneaded them gently.

From time to time, he would gently press the breasts on his chest behind Zhou Zheng, and a scent of fragrance would enter his nose along with Zhou Zheng's breathing.

"Ahem, what we have to do next is very simple."

As expected, Zhou Zheng enjoyed Gong Tan's actions quite a bit.

"We just need to get the relevant evidence of the second prince's collaboration with the enemy in advance."

"For example, we captured the details of Daxia Kingdom..."

The gentleness on the shoulders and the elasticity of the back made Zhou Zheng quite comfortable, and then he explained the strategies.

"Your Majesty, now that Daxia Kingdom's Xizuo and the three major families are united, let alone a small number of us, no matter how much we are defeated, it will not be enough."

Hearing Zhou Zheng's suggestion, Gong Tan also rolled his eyes.

She even felt that Zhou Zheng was deliberately deceiving her.

After all, rushing out to catch Daxia Kingdom's craftsmen now is no different than seeking death.

"Go to the three major families..."

Zhou Zheng remained calm, but Gong Tan was speechless for a while.

This is no longer a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth, but simply falling into a trap.

“There is a saying that goes, if you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t get the tiger’s cubs.”
