"Tonight's palace banquet, the imperial dining room will prepare a lot of delicious food. I will leave a portion for you when the time comes." Shunzi said with a smile.

"Okay." Zhaoxia responded gently and in a thin voice, "Don't be impatient, I'll go back first."

"Sure." Shunzi waved his hands to Zhaoxia and left.

Zhaoxia also took a few steps back, but when she turned around and saw that Shunzi had left, she hurriedly turned back.

She took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, poured some medicinal powder from it, sprinkled it on the meat on the shelf, and then reached out to touch it evenly.

There is a difference between roasting meat for a saint and guests.

Just by looking at the size of the meat, she knew that this piece must be for the saint.

After Zhaoxia finished doing this, she put the bottle away and left.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found that he was surrounded by people.

Before she could say anything, the guards took her down.

"What are you doing!" Zhaoxia shouted.

"Go to the jail and argue." The guard found the medicine bottle from her sleeve and wrapped the medicine-coated meat.

"Let me go, what are you doing! I was wronged!" Zhaoxia shouted.

"If you did nothing, how could you be wronged?" the guard said coldly.

They tied Zhaoxia and went out, only to see Shunzi standing at the door who should have left long ago.

"Shunzi, you're not..." Zhaoxia was surprised.

"You haven't interacted with anyone in the palace before. If you hadn't come out to find me, I wouldn't have even known that a person like you existed. If you suddenly come to chat with me, I would have felt strange." Shunzi said coldly. , "In the palace, if I wasn't careful, I would have died countless times!"

Zhaoxia said angrily: "You betrayed me!"

"Bah! It's because you have no good intentions!" Shunzi said with hatred, "If I really let you succeed, how could I still be alive! You still have the nerve to say anything about betrayal!"

Shunzi originally didn't know what Zhaoxia was planning to do, but she just felt that Zhaoxia's sudden change was a bit strange.

When Zhaoxia came to talk to him, Shunzi didn't even know who Zhaoxia was. Later, he found out after asking around and told the prince.

The prince told him to deal with Zhaoxia, but he must not really treat Zhaoxia as a friend.

Then, the prince went to tell Pan Lunchi.

At the same time, the secret guards also found out about Zhaoxia's interactions with Shunzi.

Pan Lunchi called Shunzi and asked him to cooperate.

Shunzi didn't know the purpose, but still cooperated.

It wasn't until just now that Shunzi realized after seeing Zhaoxia's actions that Zhaoxia was planning to kill the king!

Shunzi was so frightened that her whole body shivered. Even on a hot day, the sweat she shed was cold and she was trembling all over.

Fortunately, fortunately, he was alert and saved his life.

At the same time that Zhaoxia was taken away, the guards also came to the side hall of Ciyuan Hall, where Zhang Yingzi lived.

Zhang Yingzi was tied to a chair by secret guards for a day. She could not move, speak, or even go to the toilet.

It really scared her.

So the next day, the secret guard asked her to promise not to scream before he could let her go. Zhang Yingzi hurriedly agreed.

She really regretted entering the palace at that time.

If you stay in the Gu family, these things won't happen at all.

Compared to living in the palace, living in the Gu family is truly a fairy-like life.

Not to mention in the Gu family, even in Chong'an's own family, life was very good.

Zhang Yingzi even regretted poisoning Old Man Zhang just for the sake of future wealth.

If she had not poisoned Old Man Zhang, she would not have come to the capital, and she would not have developed to this point.

Otherwise, even in the Gu family, if the queen really summons her, can she not enter the palace?

But after the pain from the day before, after the secret guard let go of her, she really didn't dare to shout anymore, nor did she dare to make a noise to go out. She stayed in the house honestly.

Just like a prisoner.

No windows can be opened and no one can go out.

When the time comes, someone delivers a delicious meal.

Days like this passed day after day, and Zhang Yingzi felt that she was going crazy in jail.

I want to leave this prison like never before, I want to go out, I want to go to the Gu family, I want to go back to Chong'an.

Because she was locked up, she was in a bad mood, and the food was not delicious. Zhang Yingzi lost weight visibly, and her eyes became dull.

Just as Zhaoxia was being taken away, the door to Zhang Yingzi's room was suddenly kicked open from outside.

There was a loud bang, and Zhang Yingzi, who was sitting on the bed, was startled and stood up quickly.

Immediately afterwards, a group of guards came in shouting.

The leading guard raised his arm and said, "Take it away!"

Zhang Yingzi hadn't realized who he was taking away. Could it be that the Queen knew about her being trapped and finally called the guards to take the palace man away?

Just when Zhang Yingzi thought this, he was caught by the guards.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Yingzi's face turned pale with fright, "What are you doing!"

The guard didn't say anything and just dragged her out.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Zhang Yingzi said, "Empress, Empress, save me! What are you going to do! Let me go! Empress, please save me!"

"Stop her mouth and don't disturb the empress," the guard said.

As a result, Zhang Yingzi's mouth was sealed again.

These days, Old Man Zhang's health has been getting better and better.

I can also take a walk in the garden, and my spirits are gradually improving.

Probably because I had been hunting for a living before, my physical foundation was relatively good, so I recovered relatively well.

Old man Zhang has been waiting for Zhang Yingzi to come back. He is still wondering why Zhang Yingzi has not come back after entering the palace for so long.

On this day, Gu Shangqing rushed home late at night under the moonlight.

Gu Shangqing has been busy these days and has not come back.

Li Mumu knew that Gu Shangqing would not be able to come back unless Zhaoxia's matter was investigated.

So that night, Li Mumu turned off the lights and took a rest without waiting for Gu Shangqing.

When the door was pushed open, Li Mumu sat up alertly, wondering if there was a burglar?

She was busy groping for things, trying to find something that could be used to defend herself, and she didn't dare to say anything casually.

It's just that there has never been a thief in the house, and Li Mumu doesn't have the habit of keeping self-defense items at hand.

At this time, I heard a low voice in the room, "It's me."

Gu Shangqing heard Li Mumu sitting up and knew that she was probably frightened.

"Husband?" Li Mumu called.

"It's me." Gu Shangqing closed the door and came in, lighting the candle.

Li Mumu breathed a sigh of relief and got out of bed to help Gu Shangqing take off his clothes.

While helping him undress, he said, "Are you done with everything?"

"Yes." Gu Shangqing nodded, "I have asked all the questions. His Royal Highness the Prince returned to the palace to report to the saint, so I came back. I thought I could talk to you so that you would not worry about it every day. And... we also have to think about how to communicate with each other. Old man Zhang said.

"How is Zhang Yingzi?" Li Mumu asked.

"The person is still alive, but she has just been tortured. It is definitely not good." Gu Shangqing sighed, "It's true... I used to think she was stupid, but she still had a good heart. I didn't expect..."
