"Yes!"

The men responded, got out of the carriage, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Only then did Wei Shao look away and continued to slowly enter the palace with the large team.

The emperor already knew that he was back, so he directly had him taken to the imperial study.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, the emperor asked everyone to step aside, and then praised Wei Shao unstintingly: "This time you defeated the bandits and brought back Zhao Zhizhi, who was in charge of cholera. You are a great hero."

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Everything I do is for the stability of the court and the safety of the people. I dare not ask for rewards!" Wei Shao bowed his head and said respectfully.

But the emperor said: "Wei Qing, you have made great achievements this time, how can you not want a reward?"

"I will reward you for the land you pacified! And the treasures recently paid tribute by the border countries..."

As he spoke, he waved, and several palace maids came in, holding some jewelry and silk in their hands.

Wei Shao looked at these rewards and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He knew that the emperor did not really appreciate him, but only gave him these rewards because of his merits and status.

He sneered in his heart, but didn't show it.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty." Wei Shao knelt down to thank him.

Wei Shao didn't care at all about the things the emperor rewarded him with.

"Wei Chen still has something to do at home, so I'll leave now!"

The emperor nodded, "Okay, please step back."

Wei Shao was shocked. He didn't expect the emperor to let him leave so easily.

The emperor said a lot, but did not talk about Zhao Zhizhi.

He sneered coldly in his heart, resigned, and exited the imperial study.

After the carriage left the palace, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"master."

He opened his eyes and saw his men standing next to the carriage, "I have investigated clearly. Madam was imprisoned after poisoning the Queen Mother."

Wei Shao's eyes instantly became sharp. He was angry, but also a little confused.

He knew Zhao Zhizhi's personality. Although she was a little willful, she would never do such a thing. He frowned and looked at his men, "Are you sure?"

The subordinate nodded, "Yes, this is the news from the palace, it cannot be wrong."

Wei Shao sneered when he heard this, "Someone is planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

"But master, you can rest assured that my subordinates have made arrangements. If there is any trouble in the palace, you will be notified immediately."

"Yes." Wei Shao nodded, "Go back home."

The carriage started slowly.

The carriage fell into darkness.

Wei Shao leaned on the cushions and closed his eyes in deep thought. The emperor knew clearly that Zhao Zhizhi was his wife, but he put her in prison when he was out to pacify the bandits...

This is clearly an attempt to kill Zhao Zhizhi!

It's just that the emperor underestimated himself too much. Did he think that putting Zhao Zhizhi in prison would be enough to restrain him?

Too naive!

Thinking like this, Wei Shao opened his eyes.

He took out the handkerchief and the golden nanmu box from the secret pocket. When I opened the box, I saw several gold needles inside.

Wei Shao took the handkerchief and wiped the golden needles clean, then inserted them into several of his big holes one by one...

This is a habit he has developed over many years of fighting. Whenever he stops practicing martial arts, he will insert golden needles into acupuncture points to keep his internal strength from diminishing.

Therefore, although his martial arts is not the highest, his internal strength is unmatched!

This is why the emperor is afraid of him.

Because he has a lot of weapons and is also very powerful in martial arts!

If such a person turns to the prince's side, the consequences will be disastrous!

That's why the emperor was eager to control him!

It's a pity that the emperor never calculated that he would recall the generals with heavy troops to the capital to raise tigers!

And what he has to do next is to completely wake up this tiger!

Only in this way can he gain a firm foothold in this capital.

Only in this way can we better protect the people we want to protect!

After returning to the mansion, he told Father Zhao and the others that he would definitely rescue Zhao Zhizhi!

Father Zhao and the others nodded happily and asked him to go back and rest first.

Wei Shao returned to his room and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In this world, some people are willing to sell their souls and consciences for power and interests, while some people always stick to their beliefs and principles.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. He knew that the most important thing now was to rescue Zhao Zhizhi.

Looking at all the traces of Zhao Zhizhi's life around him, he felt a sting in his heart.

He especially blamed himself for not taking her out of here, which was why she was in danger in the palace. Now she is still in prison, and he doesn't know what her condition is like?

Can you stand it in prison?

Have you ever been hungry or cold?

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned in bed all night, and it wasn't until dawn that he opened his eyes.

As soon as day broke, Wei Shao hurriedly asked someone to prepare the carriage.

The carriage slowly drove into the palace. Wei Shao got off the carriage, entered the palace, and walked towards the imperial study.

He knew that the emperor must be waiting for him to take the initiative to come to the door.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The emperor frowned, "What's the matter?"

"About Zhao Zhizhi." Wei Shao said.

A trace of displeasure flashed across the emperor's face, "That poisonous woman? What happened to her?"

Wei Shao took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that she was imprisoned after poisoning the Queen Mother."

The emperor sneered, "Humph, that poisonous woman was lucky to be caught, otherwise I don't know how many people would have been killed."

Wei Shao was angry, "Zhao Zhizhi is not this kind of person, she must have been framed!"

"Weichen hopes that His Majesty will give her a chance to live. Weichen is willing to trade for his official position!"

He is now a high-ranking official of the first rank, a position that can only be achieved by ordinary people in decades.

The emperor looked at him with disbelief, "Are you serious? Are you willing to lose everything you have for her?"

"Well, Wei Chen is alive now thanks to her. Even if it costs Wei Chen's life, Wei Chen is willing to do it!"

"Okay! Since you are willing to give your life for her, I can give you a chance!"

The emperor suddenly sneered.

When Wei Shao saw his expression, he immediately thought of him, and there was no good thing happening to him.

Then Wei Shao suddenly heard the emperor continue: "I want you to help me kill someone."

Wei Shao said: "I will never harm innocent old, young, women and children."

The emperor knew his temperament, shook his head and said: "The people I asked you to kill are not old people, young women and children, but people who have enmity with our country."

"Are you talking about people from Northern Xinjiang?" Wei Shao asked.

"Yes! The person I asked you to kill is the great prince of Northern Xinjiang - Utur!"

When the emperor mentioned this person's name, his eyes were filled with blood-red murderous intent.
