Master of Rebirth

At last the long night passed, and the sun rose again.Zhou Ying stood in the middle of the courtyard, looked up at the sunrise in the east, her face was full of loneliness and exhaustion.

The reason why he fell in love with Shen Yutang back then was very complicated. Apart from really liking her, there was also an element of fighting for breath.May I ask, who married the number one beauty in Beijing, is there any man more beautiful and wanton than him?It's a pity that regardless of the reason, it has become a habit to treat Shen Yutang unreservedly these years.Now that the habit has changed, more anger and unwillingness are more than heartbreaking.

Zhou Ying is not a person who likes to accept his fate, otherwise he would not have insisted on joining the army after the death of the old Dingbeihou, climbed from an ordinary soldier to a general by himself, and finally won the title again and restored the former glory of the Dingbeihou.Zhou Ying also considers herself to be a daring person, since the matter has been done, she will not regret it.

But now he couldn't help but think that although being forced to marry Shen Yuwei was a lifetime of shame for him, he also knew that Shen Yuwei was innocent.At that time, if they were willing to accept their fate and live a good life, although the two of them would not have a deep relationship, at least they could spend the rest of their lives respecting each other as guests.Now that I am old, I can also enjoy the family happiness of a full house of children and grandchildren.It wouldn't be like now, working hard for half a life, but there is no one behind.Or, if Shen Yuwei could be given more trust and take care of their mother and child's life, Zhao Jing might have grown up under his care, and would never become a stranger or even a mortal enemy like now.

At this moment, Zhou Ying's confidant, Zhou Xiang, came over quietly, saluted Zhou Ying, and said, "Your Majesty."

"How's it going?" Zhou Ying asked in a deep voice, suppressing all the emotions in her heart.

Zhou Xiang said: "I didn't hold on for even an hour, so I recruited."

"Hmph, I thought she was so stubborn, but I didn't expect it to be so." Zhou Ying snorted coldly, and then asked: "Be careful, don't kill people. Dali Temple is still investigating Shen Yuwei's case, in case Pass her to the court, the dead and the lunatic cannot plead guilty."

Zhou Xiang is the son of the chief executive of Zhengxihou's Mansion, a few years older than Zhao Jing, and he can be regarded as Zhou Ying's half-adopted son.He has followed Zhou Ying for more than ten years and has always been loyal.When Zhou Ying ordered Shen Yutang to be tortured last night, Zhou Xiang knew that he was probably determined to abandon Shen Yutang.Seeing now that he seemed to have plans to hand over Shen Yutang to Dali Temple for interrogation, Zhou Xiang was still a little surprised.

Everyone in Daliang knew that Shen Yutang was Zhou Ying's favorite woman.For her, he did not hesitate to abandon his wife.Even if Shen Yutang made a mistake, closing the door to deal with it and handing it over to others are still two different things.What's more, Zhao Jing hated Shen Yutang to the bone, and handing her over to Dali Temple was no different from handing her over to Zhao Jing.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou." Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xiang said, "Feng Lao Liu's skills are passed down from his ancestors. His techniques are very sophisticated and he can identify acupoints accurately. Madam didn't hold out for long at all. The pain was a bit painful, and her mind was still clear. Can't delay Dali Temple's inquiry."

Although scorching is fatal, as long as the torturer does it properly, not only will he not die, but it will also allow the victim to ask and answer questions in extreme pain without leaving obvious wounds. It is a good way to extract confessions by torture.Zhou Ying naturally knew the methods of her subordinates, so she was relieved.

"It's been less than an hour, what a bargain!" Zhou Ying said contemptuously, and then asked, "What did she explain?"

Zhou Xiangdao: "Madam said that the person who contacted her claimed to be from Shen Yingjie's old department and had a token of the Shen family on him. Everything she knew was told to her by a letter from that person. It's a pity that Madam has never met that person. The maid next to me sent a message. The maid at the joint has been taken down by us, and we didn’t ask anything. That person is very cautious. He wears a cloak every time we meet, and he can’t see his face clearly. He only knows that he is a man. The letters between them have long been It was destroyed by Madam, and we found nothing."

After the fall of the Shen family, Zhou Ying worked hard and managed to save Shen Yutang's life from the emperor.Unexpectedly, before he had time to catch his breath, Shen Yutang came to him with pear blossoms in the rain, saying that Zhao Jing took advantage of his position to avenge his personal revenge. Shen Yuwei washed away her stigma.

A long time ago, Zhou Ying knew that Zhao Jing had been looking for Cuiyun, the personal maid who identified Shen Yuwei back then, and had even come to warn him.Now knowing from Shen Yutang that Zhao Jing has not given up, Zhou Ying naturally believes it.

While crying about her grievances, Shen Yutang secretly mentioned that Wang Qi was good at engraving and imitating handwriting.Zhou Ying is so smart, just this sentence is enough for him to grasp many clues.

In Zhou Ying's view, when Shen Yutang had a miscarriage, Shen Yuwei had enough motivation.Coupled with the fact that her maid Cuiyun personally identified her, there is absolutely no reason to wrong her.Besides, no matter who is right or wrong in this matter, it is an indisputable fact that Shen Yuwei stabbed Shen Yutang later and made Shen Yutang infertile for life.Based on this alone, Shen Yuwei's death a hundred times is not enough to atone for her sins.

Now that the Shen family has collapsed, all his parents, siblings and siblings have died, Shen Yutang has already collapsed more than half, and she sheds tears every day.If she was wronged again and charged with framing the concubine sister for the sake of superiority, then she really couldn't survive.Therefore, even though she didn't want to get into too much trouble with Zhao Jing, for Shen Yutang's sake, Zhou Ying decided to use Wang Qi to blackmail Zhao Jing.By the way, it can also explore Wang Qi's weight in Zhao Jing's heart.

Who knew that all of this was planned by Shen Yutang and outsiders, and she was treated as a fool for her sincerity, how could Zhou Ying not be angry?Give him a knife, and Shen Yutang's heart will be cut alive.

Now that she knows that Shen Yutang's purpose in doing all this is to provoke the relationship between him and Zhao Jing, she would rather die than let others live in peace.According to Zhou Ying's personality, he didn't want her to succeed, not to mention that he already had the heart to recognize Zhao Jing.

"This person can easily gain Shen Yutang's trust, it must have something to do with Ning'an Houfu. I also know that Zhao Jing secretly collected evidence from the past, intending to let Madam Ma go to Dali Temple to report on Shen Yutang, and even Zhao Rui asked Wang Qi to forge imperial decrees. Obviously, he knows Zhengxihou's Mansion very well, he is a powerful person." Zhou Ying frowned and said: "We must find out the real identity of this person, and we will have an extra bargaining chip in Zhengxihou's Mansion in the future. "

Zhou Xiang hurriedly said: "Fortunately, the Madam's exposure was concealed, and outsiders don't know about it. The subordinates have already deployed manpower at the place where they are connected, and asked the maid to contact them at dawn to see if they can attract people. come out."

"You go and arrange it." Knowing that the possibility of catching someone is not high, but there is no other good way right now, so I can only try.Sighing, Zhou Ying continued: "By the way, how are those medicine bottles?"

Mentioning the medicine bottle, Zhou Xiang's face was full of fear, "Mr. Xu has already seen it. Those medicine bottles are all filled with poison, and the toxicity is different. It is very difficult to solve. I didn't expect that Madam is in front of us." There are so many powerful poisons hidden underneath. Mr. Xu said that poisoning our whole house will not be a problem."

"It's probably given to her by Wuzhu." Zhou Ying sneered, and said, "Maybe she really planned to take our whole house to be buried with her, but she changed her mind halfway. By the way, there is the kind from Wuzhu in the bottle." Is it poisonous?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head and said, "No. However, the poison hidden in Madam's teeth has been found out. Mr. Xu said that the medicine should be able to make people die for a period of time, and there must be a corresponding antidote to make people wake up. Solution We didn't find the medicine. It is estimated that after Madam feigned death and escaped from the mansion, someone will come to meet it. Unfortunately, she can't tell who will respond and how to respond. She probably really doesn't know. Mr. Xu has already tried it, maybe he will find it Come up with the formula for the antidote."

"Fake death? It's exactly the same as Shen Yingjie's method in the palace. They are indeed brothers and sisters of the same mother." Zhou Ying sneered, "If Shen Yutang really repays her determination to die, I still admire her courage .I didn’t expect that she was still playing with me when it was about to come!”

Zhou Xiangdao: "Master Hou and Madam have been married for many years, and she still understands you. Madam knows that as long as you die in that decisive way, you will definitely not have the heart to embarrass her anymore. Who knows that Master Hou is a master at chess, so he still exposed it. Her conspiracy."

"Hehe...does she understand me?" Zhou Ying said with a self-deprecating smile, "In the end, it was because I indulged her too much that she didn't know how to handle me. The reason why she was deceived at the beginning was nothing more than Because I am willing to believe her. It is because I believe that I will turn a blind eye to many bad lies."

Zhou Ying's sad face showed that she was seriously injured.Zhou Xiang couldn't say much, so he could only keep silent.

"How did Shen Yutang tell the emperor about Zhao Rui's private possession of Wang Qi?" Zhou Ying continued to ask after suppressing all the emotions in her heart.

Zhou Xiang said: "Some time ago, several officials and family members came to visit Madam. Madam revealed this matter to them quietly."

It was only then that Zhou Ying remembered that several female relatives of colleagues had come to visit Shen Yutang before.Zhou Ying knew that something happened to Shen Yutang, and she was afraid of being seen as a joke, so she definitely didn't want to see anyone at this time.Unexpectedly, Shen Yutang didn't shake her head when she heard the news, and later she took the initiative to invite people to the mansion for a gathering.Zhou Ying was very relieved at the time, thinking that it was a good thing that Shen Yutang was willing to talk to people.Who would have thought that the truth is so unsightly, it is really ironic.

"She's smart." Zhou Ying sarcastically said.

"Madam's move is really clever. Although the female family members don't participate in the government, they can't see the emperor. But they all have official husbands in their families, and some of them are still at odds with Zheng Xihou." Zhou Xiang echoed: "At present, the emperor I was just about to send out Zheng Xihou, but unfortunately there is no suitable reason. As long as someone goes to the emperor to reveal some rumors, even if there is no real evidence, the emperor will have a fit."

Throughout the ages, the most taboo of emperors is the master with high meritorious service.Especially since he is already on the verge of death, and his life is not long, he is even more worried that the new king who succeeds him will not be able to suppress these old ministers.Now that Marquis Pingnan is dead, Marquis Dingbei has not led an army for more than ten years, so he just has more prestige, and now that he is implicated by the Shen family, there is nothing to be afraid of.Only Zhao Rui, Marquis of Zhengxi, not only made great achievements in battle, but also made great contributions in saving his family. He has a high prestige in the court, and his cronies and generals are all over the army, and he is also the prince's cousin.It's okay if you keep your own place, but I'm afraid that if you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, the prince may not be able to suppress him.

And the most important point, no one can tolerate a person who has the ability to forge imperial decrees, let alone this person is still in the hands of powerful officials.Zhao Rui held Wang Qi in his hand, just like holding a living imperial decree.As long as he is willing, it is easy for Zhao Rui to do things that Wu Zhu wanted to do but failed to do, such as deceiving the emperor and ignoring the throne.

"The medicine for feigning death may be available in the future. Please ask Mr. Xu to take more trouble to get out the antidote quickly." Zhou Ying sighed wearily, and said in a deep voice: "I'm tired, you go down."

After Zhou Xiang left, Zhou Ying wandered alone in the courtyard, unable to calm down.

The person who connected with Shen Yutang should be a spy hiding in Zhengxihou's Mansion, otherwise it would be impossible to know Zhao Rui and Zhao Jing's movements so well.The man used Shen Yingjie's name to gain Shen Yutang's trust, and told him through Shen Yutang the inside story of Zhao Rui's forgery of the imperial decree, and a series of actions that Zhao Jing planned to vindicate his mother.He also used his sympathy for Shen Yutang to prompt him to take Wang Qi's life and the future of the entire Zhengxihou Mansion to come to make a deal with Zhao Jing.

Now, Pozi Ma suddenly bypassed Zhao Jing and acted without authorization, exposing Shen Yutang's scandal.Immediately afterwards, the matter of Zheng Xihou's private possession of Wang Qi came to the emperor's eyes.Everything was so logical, and Zhengxihou's Mansion and Dingbeihou's Mansion also turned their faces logically.Zhou Ying knew that they were all being calculated, but Zhao Jing had already had a deep prejudice against him, and now he must also hate him to the bone.If he took the initiative to come to the door to explain, and said that there were spies in the mansion, would Zhao Jing believe it?

"Hey!" Sighing helplessly, Zhou Ying rubbed her sore forehead, and was about to go back to her room to rest for a while, when the housekeeper reported, "Master, Zheng Xihou is here, and I'm waiting for you in the main hall now." .”

Some looked at the butler in disbelief, and Zhou Ying confirmed, "You mean Marquis Zheng Xi? Zhao Rui?"

"It's Zhengxihou's Mansion." The housekeeper hurriedly said, "To tell you the truth, when I first saw him, this old slave was also very surprised."

Wasn't Zhao Rui imprisoned in the palace by the emperor?How is it possible to come here?Zhou Ying was puzzled, but she hurried to the main hall without stopping.When I entered the door, I saw that the person sitting inside was really Zhao Rui himself.

"Why are you here?" The gap between the two of them was already deep, and Zhou Ying subconsciously put on a face when she saw Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui smiled and said slowly: "You want to ask why the emperor let me out."

"You all go down." After sending out all the people in the room, Zhou Ying sat down first, and then said: "Say what you want, there is no need to be secretive."

Zhao Rui said leisurely: "It's very simple. I apologize to the emperor, and I ask the old man to resign. I implore the emperor to let me guard the spirit of the late emperor. The emperor got a step up, took back the military power, settled a matter of his heart, and didn't want to get a bad name for treating the old minister harshly." , just release me and let me live for the rest of my life.”

"Do you think the emperor will let you go if you hand over the military power?" Zhou Ying retorted, "Aren't you thinking too easily? You secretly hide the person who forged the imperial decree, defrauding the emperor and ignoring the emperor, and the crime should be punished."

Zhao Rui smiled and said: "The emperor didn't disclose this matter, which means he doesn't want to make a big fuss. Since there is no decree to question the crime, why have I ever deceived the emperor? Besides, the emperor is just afraid that Wang Qi will be in my hands. Now I entrust you Fu, Wang Qi has already been imprisoned in the Inner Punishment Court, what else is there to worry about?"

In the matter of whistleblowing, Zhou Ying was simply taking the blame for others, and she also felt useless in her heart.Although he knew that Zhao Rui would definitely not believe it, he still couldn't help explaining: "Believe it or not, I didn't go to the emperor to report you, there are other inside stories about this matter."

"It doesn't matter if it's you or not." Zhao Rui smiled calmly, as if he didn't take it seriously, "You and I both know that the emperor is just afraid that us old fellows will rebel after his death. The others are young and close to the prince. After the prince ascends the throne, they need their help to help the country. At this time, the emperor sent me to Zhengxihou's mansion. First, he forced me to retire to clear the way for the new king. Second, he gave the prince a gift. Favor. As long as we keep our duty, the prince is kind and will treat us well."

Zhou Ying knew that since Zhengxihou's mansion was sealed, the prince often went to the emperor to intercede.Although he knew that this was the emperor's imperial mind, he never thought that Zhao Rui would be released so soon.

"Since you've thought it through so clearly, the old man who went home to take care of you with peace of mind is what is he doing here again?" Zhou Ying asked coldly.

Zhao Rui put back the smile on his face, looked at Zhou Ying and said, "I came here this time to apologize to you, and to ask you for a favor."

"I don't dare to help, and there is no need to apologize." Zhou Ying didn't know what his intentions were, so he could only say coldly: "You and I have been fighting for so many years, and we have hurt each other. In the final analysis, it is a contest between political enemies. , There is only winning or losing, there is no right or wrong, and there is no need to apologize."

With a wry smile, Zhao Rui said: "You and I are best friends. If I hadn't been so affectionate back then and had to force you to admit something, we wouldn't have come to this point."

Back then, Zhao Ruifei forced Zhou Ying to admit that he liked him, which was the root cause of their breakdown.Zhou Ying accused Zhao Rui of being insane and making fun of the world.However, Zhao Rui scolded Zhou Ying for not speaking the truth, for not daring to face her true self.After so many years, they refused to give in to each other, and no one was ever subdued.Unexpectedly, after so many years, after persisting for so long, Zhao Rui would suddenly apologize.For a moment, Zhou Ying was a little confused.

"Brother Ying, over the years, I haven't regretted a single day, but I haven't summoned up the courage to apologize to you, and I can only watch us get farther and farther apart." Zhao Rui looked at Zhou Ying and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, back then Shouldn't have pushed you that much. This apology came too late."

After the two broke up, Zhou Ying had been desperately trying to prove to Zhao Rui that she was not the kind of person he thought she was, but now that Zhao Rui finally admitted his mistake, Zhou Ying only felt that it was very unreal.

"You...what are you thinking?" After being at a loss for a while, Zhou Ying recalled all the past, and bursts of anger immediately surged in her heart, "Why do you have to be hypocritical now? You keep my son by your side, To make him and a man ambiguous, isn't it just to use him to slap me in the face? Nowadays, almost everyone in Beijing knows that Zhao Jing likes men. You come to apologize to me now, aren't you deliberately disgusting me? "

Zhao Rui explained: "You misunderstood. Yes, I kept Ah Man by my side, and I did have my own ideas. But I really didn't know that Ah Man also liked men. At that time, I just thought that I would never get married in this life It is impossible to have your own heir. Letting your son be my heir can be regarded as satisfying my little selfishness."

"Okay, even if you didn't know about it at the time, why didn't you stop it when you found out later? Didn't you intend to win over Wang Qi by leaving Wang Qi in the Hou's mansion?" Zhou Ying said angrily.

With a wry smile, Zhao Rui said: "Brother Ying, I have fallen in love with men myself, and I can better understand the pain in Ah Man's heart. How could I do something to break them up? I know the hardships of this road, and I hope that Ah Man will Man can get married and have children, and live a normal life, so he didn't stop Xu Baichuan and Mrs. Ma's many actions. In order to break up Ah Man and Wang Qi, the two of them used all kinds of methods and used everything. Even if I personally It's impossible to do better than them. But even so, Ah Man still has a soft spot for Wang Qi, doesn't this mean that they really love each other?"

"What is true love? It's a joke!" Zhou Ying sarcastically said: "As far as I know, this Wang Qi was born as a merchant. When I was in the county, Ah Man expressed his heart to Wang Qi, but he didn't like Ah Man. Later, he found out that Ah Man had become the young master of the Zhengxihou Mansion, so he posted it again. A man who betrays himself is not worthy of being a human being at all. He has read all the books of saints into the dog's stomach. If you say this is true love, I'm afraid you think I'm a fool. "

Zhou Ying said solemnly: "Brother Ying, if you know about Ah Man's past, you shouldn't say such things. In the matter between you and the Shen sisters, no matter who is right or wrong, Ah Man is innocent. Over the years, when you held Shen Yutang in the marquis' mansion, did you ever think about how Ah Man lived outside? He was still in his infancy when he was taken out of the mansion by Mrs. Ma. The old and young of the two He is small, sleeps in the open air, and has no fixed place to live. Not only does he not have enough food and clothing, but he also has to be on guard against Shen Yutang sending people to hunt him down. Wang Qi is the only person who lends a helping hand to Ah Man in the dark, and is also Wang Qi. Qi pulled him out of the mud and let him live a stable life. Without Wang Qi, Ah Man would have died long ago."

"It can't be all my fault, I thought about treating him well at the beginning." Zhou Ying was already in debt to Zhao Jing, especially after knowing Shen Yutang's true face, she felt even more ashamed.But his self-esteem still did not allow himself to bow his head in front of Zhao Rui, so he could only subconsciously defend himself, but his voice was a little weaker, "If it wasn't for Shen Yuwei who couldn't think about it and insisted on sending him out of the mansion, he wouldn't have passed it So miserable."

Zhao Rui glanced at Zhou Ying in surprise, Zhao Rui just thought it was funny, "Brother Ying means that Ah Man will live a good life if he stays in the mansion? When Shen Yuwei was abolished, her life was worse than that of a handyman. Didn't Aman suffer with her and get special care from you? I think Shen Yuwei's approach is very wise. If such a child whose father doesn't care about his mother and is abandoned, if he stays in the mansion, he will be a thorn in Shen Yutang's side, sooner or later would kill him."

Thinking of her son Zhou Rui who was killed by Shen Yutang, Zhou Ying finally managed to keep her mouth shut.

Zhao Rui didn't know that Zhou Ying had already broken up with Shen Yutang, so he rarely said seriously: "Aman is your biological son, you should treat him well, it's unreasonable not to ask. Don't you wonder? , Dingbeihou Mansion is heavily guarded, how did Mrs. Ma send Ah Man out without telling you?"

Seeing Zhou Ying's sullen face and not speaking, Zhao Rui was half sad, half mocking: "Mrs. Ma hid him in Ye Xiang's car, and sneaked out with the lowest handyman in your house. The young master of the dignified house , You actually have to rely on this method to survive. If it spreads, it will only make people feel embarrassed. Brother Ying, I know you have a deep affection for Shen Yutang, but Ah Man, let's ask ourselves what is wrong with this child, why should Suffering like this? Haven't you thought about him all these years?"

Zhou Ying's face finally showed a hint of emotion, but she still said: "I'm telling you about Ah Man and Wang Qi, so don't change the subject with me."

"I didn't change the subject with you." Zhao Rui said in a deep voice, "Why is Ah Man so obsessed with Wang Qi? It's because Wang Qi was the first ray of light in his life. A little bit of warmth is his only thought of living in this fucking world. And it is not others that caused this result, but yourself."

Zhao Rui's words were like sharp knives that pierced Zhou Ying's heart fiercely.Taking a deep breath, Zhou Ying was finally defeated, and said slowly: "I accept your apology. What do you want me to do?"

Knowing that Zhou Ying finally gave in, Zhao Rui was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I want to ask you to save Wang Qi's life."

"What?" Zhou Ying almost flipped the table after hearing this.

Knowing that he would have such a big reaction, Zhao Rui was not in a hurry, but repeated: "The emperor can't tolerate Wang Qi, so I want you to help me save him."

"Are you crazy?" Zhou Ying said angrily: "Wang Qi must die for both public and private purposes. Do you think I can stop the person the emperor wants to kill?"

"You're right. For the emperor, killing Wang Qi is easier than crushing an ant. As long as he wants to, no one can stop him. If that's the case, why didn't the emperor do it, but instead locked Wang Qi inside for punishment?" In the courtyard?" Zhao Rui looked at Zhou Ying and asked with a smile.

Thinking of the reason, Zhou Ying's face became even more serious.

"That's because both the emperor and the crown prince know how important Wang Qi is to Ah Man." Without waiting for Zhou Ying's answer, Zhao Rui said directly: "The crown prince needs Ah Man's assistance when he ascends the throne. If Wang Qi dies in their In the hands of father and son, it is hard to guarantee that Ah Man will not feel resentment in his heart, which is not good for the country. Therefore, Wang Qi must not die in the hands of the emperor and the prince. If other officials execute Wang Qi, it is no different from the emperor's decree. If Wang Qi is inexplicable Even if he died in the Inner Punishment Court, the Emperor would not be able to escape. Therefore, for the current plan, only one person with enough weight can make the decision without authorization, break into the Inner Punishment Court to deal with Wang Qi, and then confess his guilt in front of the Emperor. In this way, even if Wang Qi dead, Ah Man can't blame the emperor."

Zhou Ying said coldly: "If I do this, Ah Man will never die with me for the rest of my life. Why don't you go?"

"I really want to ask Ying to share the emperor's worries." Zhao Rui smiled wryly, and continued: "But the emperor doesn't believe me, so he is worried about handing Wang Qi into my hands. I really have no choice but to ask you." Come here. Ah Man has always been at odds with you, and even ruined Shen Yutang's reputation. It is reasonable for you to kill Wang Qi to teach him a lesson. Take ten thousand steps back, Ah Man is your biological son after all, and you will not I would like him to be ambiguous with a man. Therefore, you must be the one who wants Wang Qi to die the most. If you recommend yourself to the emperor and state the pros and cons, he will definitely believe it."

Knowing what Zhao Rui meant, Zhou Ying laughed, "Do you think I'm stupid? You hypocritically begged me to share the emperor's worries, but you just pushed me into a dilemma. If I kill Wang Qi, Ah Man will definitely hate you." For the rest of my life. If I let him go, it will be a crime of deceiving the king."

"Brother Ying, with the power of Dingbeihoufu, I'm afraid it's impossible to send Wang Qi out of the palace safe and sound." Zhao Rui said seriously: "As long as you promise, I will send someone from Zhengxihoufu to help you with all my strength." .Even if we commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, we will bear it all. You and I have known each other for many years. Although there is a rift between us, you know best how I am, Zhao Rui. What I have said has always been resounding, and I will never go back on my word."

Looking at Zhao Rui's posture, he actually wanted to save Wang Qi sincerely. For this reason, he did not hesitate to take on himself and the Zhengxihou Mansion. Zhou Ying couldn't believe it, "Just because of Wang Qi, as for you? Although he You have the ability to forge imperial edicts, but Wuzhu's situation is rare after all, and you don't rebel, so it's useless to come!"

"I did this all for Ah Man." Sighing, Zhao Rui smiled wryly and said, "Not only does he look like you, but his infatuation also follows you [-]%. If Wang Qi dies, Ah Man may also die." It's not going to happen. I just don't want to take the risk."

After hearing this, Zhou Ying was shocked and speechless.

"You also want to ease the relationship with Ah Man." Zhao Rui continued: "If Ah Man knows that you saved Wang Qi, he will definitely change his opinion of you."

It has to be said that Zhou Ying was indeed a little moved by the words.

"You should think about it carefully, but there is not much time left for us." Zhao Rui didn't press every step of the way, but got up and said: "As for Shen Yutang, I still want to persuade you. The debt owed must be repaid after all. Yes. If she really framed Shen Yuwei, then she should be punished, so that she can give Ah Man and the dead Shen Yuwei an explanation. If the investigation of Dali Temple is true, I hope you will not favoritism."

At this moment, Zhou Ying was very confused.Seeing that Zhao Rui was about to leave, he quickly stood up and said, "If you want me to help save Wang Qi, it's even more impossible for me to hand over Shen Yuwei at this time."

Zhou Ying said this in a hurry and quickly, without being clear, Zhao Rui turned his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Fearing that Zhao Rui might misunderstand, Zhou Ying hurriedly explained, "Only if you and I are still at odds, the emperor will believe that I really want to kill Wang Qi. If I take the initiative to send Shen Yutang to Dali Temple, the emperor will definitely know that I have a heart for Ah Man. Then, I’m afraid you won’t believe me anymore.”

"I thank you for Ah Man." Knowing that he agreed, Zhao Rui was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Zhou Ying.

Seeing that Zhao Rui was devoting so much effort to plan for Zhao Jing, Zhou Ying's mood was very complicated. He continued: "Since you and I want to cooperate, we should put aside the past and be open and honest."

"That's natural. I'll tell you whatever you want to ask." Zhao Rui's eyes and brows were filled with joy.

Zhou Ying turned his eyes away, and said in a low voice: "There should be spies in your Zhengxihou Mansion. He has been in contact with Shen Yutang all along, and they planned the whistleblowing."

After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Rui smiled and said, "I know, and, besides, I already know who this person is."
