There was no response for a long time, Li Ze helped his forehead, he didn't have the energy to stay in the bump just now, now his head started to get covered.

This scholar doesn't behave like an assassin, and he doesn't have half the ability of an assassin. If the knife reaches his neck, if it's someone from the fourth prince, he won't show mercy. Li Ze thought carefully, turned him upside down, and decided to start with the He family, " Who do you know from the He family?"

"Why do you feel that the old master has passed away?" Li Ze was puzzled, opened the jug and poured it on his neck, the wine flowing on his neck stimulated his pain, but his mind became clearer.

"The imperial guards didn't find out that you know martial arts. The moves you fought just now were very neat. I heard that there is a mother who supports you and a younger sister who loves you. Has your temperament changed greatly or your personality has changed?" Li Ze stretched out his hand to He Changan's face. Pressed and kneaded, and after a while, there was no sign of changing appearance.

"Old Lord Hou is still alive?" He Changan said weakly.

"I am the Son of Heaven, how could I lie to you?" Li Ze looked at him quietly, as if he was looking at a hot potato, "What is your relationship with the old master?"

Judging by his age, could it be that he was recruited by Master Hou?

Immediately he denied this, "Your Majesty wants to recruit people. Is there anyone who can't even be a mere scholar."

He Chang'an rolled his eyes at him, a mere scholar, I was the one who wrote the homework that the Taifu left you.

Li Ze is not a talkative person, so he just happened to run into something about the old Hou Ye and said a few more words, but he kept quiet when he didn't get a response.

After half a stick of incense, Chen Chun came in to report, "Report to the emperor, there are only 33 assassins left."

"No reinforcements?" Li Ze was slightly puzzled, and then said calmly, "There is no need to keep alive."

"Yes!" Chen Chun went out to order, but was called back after a while.

Chen Chun subconsciously thought, oh, He Changan is still inside, this scholar is too timid, if he stays with the bad-tempered emperor, he might be too scared to make a sound, right?

He poked his head in and saw He Changan lying on the ground, his face paled in shock, "Why... what did you do, Your Majesty?"

An empty wine bottle was thrown towards Chen Chun's chest, and the emperor's gloomy voice sounded, "Chen Chun, see where your news is wrong, this person held me hostage with a knife, and tried to search my body... You go back to the palace and reflect at home for a month."

Reflecting on past mistakes is one thing, but this...Chen Chun thumped to his knees, "My Majesty, this scholar is very timid, is there something wrong..."

Seeing the emperor who was secretly angry, Chen Chun didn't dare to say the following words, "Yes, I will take the criminal away for interrogation."

"No, keep him here." Li Ze instructed in a flat voice, if he really belonged to Lord Hou, then he couldn't decide easily.

The carriage gurgled forward, and drove directly into the palace in the middle of the night. The lights in the palace were brightly lit. Zheng Shi sat at the door and took a nap and woke up when he saw the emperor coming back. ?”

"No hurry." Li Ze sat in the carriage for a while before looking at the person who had been silent all this time, "Do you know the queen?"

He Changan's face twisted, and he said with all his strength, "He didn't agree to be the queen."

Li Ze said indifferently, "The queen's old friend? When did you meet?"

He Changan refused to speak anymore.

"Come on, put him in Chunhuayuan, don't let him run away." Li Ze felt a little regretful, he had no way to dig out more information, so he had to let Chen Chunlai who was familiar with the interrogation.

Chunhuayuan is a palace next to the Emperor's residence, Hengyuan Hall. This is the first time the Emperor has brought someone back. When Zheng Shi looked over, he was glared fiercely.

Isn't this an acquaintance, the gentleman brought back by Mr. Chen!

Chunhuayuan is the residence of the concubines in the harem. Although the harem is empty now, outsiders are not allowed to live in it. Even Mr. Chen is not allowed to enter and leave the harem at will. Eunuch Zheng instantly lost his mind.

He was very calm: don't mention it, even though he is a man, he is very handsome, with those divine eyes, his complexion instantly increased by three points, I heard that he is still a person, "Come here, bring him to you properly." Go to Chunhuayuan."

Zheng Gonggong was about to follow the footsteps of the emperor, when he saw that the arms of the person behind him were limp and their eyes were closed, he quickly greeted in a low voice, "Slow down, don't bump into each other."

Li Ze said, "Why be so polite."

Eunuch Zheng still remembered what the imperial doctor said, so he couldn't help reminding: "Your Majesty, this gentleman's arm is still injured."

With such a reminder, Li Ze immediately remembered, "Oh, my hands didn't shake when I held the dagger."

Why are you still holding a dagger?Eunuch Zheng cast a careful look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, let's have a meal."

After the meal, Chen Chun came late, he hurried home to wash off the smell of blood, and was kneeling outside the hall, "The guilty minister is late."

"Get up, let's go to see the scholar with me." Li Ze's voice was actually slightly cheerful.

Chen Chun honestly followed behind, not understanding why the emperor was so happy, he was so angry just now?

He Chang'an was carried into Chunhua Garden. The expected interrogation had not yet come. Instead, several eunuchs came and went in and out of the courtyard. After a while, fresh flowers were placed on the table, and the inside and outside of the house were illuminated by warm yellow lights. There is also a bit of warmth.

He Changan: "???" Was it used to cover up the smell of blood during the interrogation?

Li Ze led Chen Chun into the house, and then the imperial guards sealed the entrance and exit of Chunhuayuan.

Li Ze sat down in the first place, looking at the people lying on the carpet, Chen Chun said, "Your mother and younger sister are guarded by the imperial guards, and if I ask you a few questions, you can spare them death if you answer them honestly. "

He Changan was breathing heavily. When he thought that his father, mother and elder brother might have been victimized, he almost lost his mind, but now another mother and younger sister were threatened with death because of his carelessness and even impulsiveness. This threat still comes from Li Ze...

He closed his eyes, "You ask."

Chen Chun moved aside, Li Ze asked, "When did you meet the queen?"

"This...it's been a long time." He Changan felt absurd when he heard the word queen.

Li Ze sullenly said, "How long? Why don't I know?"

Known since birth, He Changan said, "You don't know many things about him."

"Are you provoking me, disregarding your family's life? Assassinating the emperor will implicate the whole family." Li Ze said lightly, but he felt absurd in his heart. Did this person lie?

He Changan followed his words and struggled to find a reason for himself, "I'm telling the truth, I... know He Changan well, we've known each other for a long time."

Chen Chun said at this time, "The imperial guards checked, and He Chang'an lives in Chongping County, Shaanxi, and the village is very close. He may have known Queen He since childhood."

Chen Chun even checked this?He Chang'an thought to himself, fortunately, he matched.

Li Ze was silent for a few seconds, "You said earlier that the poem that was copied from the Book of Songs was written by the Queen?"

Should I keep my original attitude, or...

He Changan decided to be honest, "It was indeed written by me."

"How can it be possible to imitate the handwriting so similarly? How can you guarantee that this is written by you, not by the queen?" Li Ze asked.

He Changan said, "...Because I know He Changan very well, I am also familiar with his handwriting."

"You write it yourself." Li Ze called someone to bring in the pen and ink.

Chen Chun went over to put his arms back, and with a click, the dislocated arms went back. He Changan scolded him over and over in his heart, but he decided to obey because he didn't want to die.

Chen Chun grinds and spreads the paper, and He Changan writes it with a swipe of a brush. A poem with almost the same handwriting appears on the paper. Li Ze looks at this piece carefully, and feels that it looks more like the queen's handwriting than the one in his hand.

He looked at He Changan with complex eyes, but then became cold and stern, "The queen returned to her hometown before the age of eight, and she had no contact with her other than that. Just because of this, you want to assassinate me, your mother and sister who are dependent on you?"

He Chang'an was silent for a while, connecting the things together, "Because the Caomin thought that you killed the Hou Ye's family, Chang'an has been kind to the Caomin since childhood."

"Isn't it because you like the queen?"

He Changan was driven into panic by this series of questioning, subconsciously touched his arm with goosebumps, one lie needs ten lies to hide, how many lies did he tell today?

"Answer me." Li Ze slapped the table hard. Chen Chun had never seen the emperor so angry, and shouted together, "Answer honestly."

Gan Linniang, He Changan said, "Grass people like women." And he has jumped from chicken to dog, seven or eight years old is the age when people hate dogs, how can he be liked by people.

"Really? Then tell me how he likes me." Li Ze's face was still ugly.

How dare he like people to let others know, the two of them strictly abide by etiquette on the surface, but in private He Changan has a guilty conscience and avoids more taboos.

But so many lies have been told, this one is right, He Changan said without thinking, "He likes to see you, likes to stay by your side, likes to go to you when he has nothing to do, and likes to follow you."

"He told you?" Li Ze picked up the tea from the table, and took a sip in disguise.

Chen Chun obviously saw that the cup was empty, he lowered his head, and suddenly felt that as long as he said a few sweet words, the problem of assassinating the emperor could really be overturned.

He Chang'an saved a little effort and nodded, "He said so."

"How does he know that I have a dagger at my waist?" Li Ze asked.

He Changan subconsciously said, "He touched it."

Even though he didn't drink any water, Li Ze was choked.

Chen Chun lowered his head vigorously, but he didn't hear anything.

He Changan also lowered his head and pretended to be dead.
