Zeng Xiuyun stared at the token, his eyes were bigger than the copper bell: "Lord Zhao, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Li sneered: "Master Zeng, this token was found in your bedroom, I should ask you, what does this mean?"

Zeng Xiuyun's head exploded with a bang.

During these days, Zhao Li arrested many people because of rebellion, and also arrested his old rival and old enemy, Zeng Xiuyun has been watching the excitement excitedly. He never thought that this matter would actually involve him.

This rebellion is a big crime, and even the queen can't protect him!

"This token is Gu Xiong's token, I have no relationship with Gu Xiong, how can this token be in my room, someone must have wronged me!" Zeng Xiuyun eagerly defended.

"Master Zeng, the way to obtain the token is not necessarily a gift from the owner, but it may also be obtained through other means. There is nothing wrong with Master Zeng getting this token by chance, but you hide the token at home, so I don't know how Your Majesty feels. Zhao Lidao.

The more Zeng Xiuyun listened, the more wrong he became, the meaning of Zhao Li's words was obviously to detain him with the charge of rebellion.

Zeng Xiuyun didn't know where he got the courage to use the trick of bending into a move on his body.

"Lord Zhao, I want to go to see the queen mother first. ”

Zhao Li raised his eyebrows: "Master Zeng, do you think it's appropriate for you to go to the queen mother now? Moreover, the queen mother may not want to see you." ”

Zhao Li waved his hand, and his capable subordinates immediately pulled Zeng Xiuyun down.

At this time, Zeng Xiuyun's face finally changed. What it means to fall into Zhao Li's hands, he knows very well. He was frightened in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Zhao Li, you are so bold, the queen mother will definitely make the decision for me!"

Zeng Xiuyun was dragged down, and the scolding disappeared, Zhao Li's hand searched in his ear, put it in front of his mouth and blew it, blowing away those scoldings.

"The Queen Mother is in charge of you? ”

Zeng Xiuyun's alleged rebellion caused a stir in Kyoto, even more sensational than Ling Yu's arrest.

Who is Zeng Xiuyun, that is the queen's uncle, the queen is deeply favored by the emperor, Zeng Xiuyun can walk sideways in Yecheng.

Zhao Li dared to arrest Zeng Xiuyun, and he really ate the courage of an ambitious leopard. However, the people of the entire Yecheng City became excited, waiting to see the dog eat the dog.

When the news reached Gu Tianqing's ears, Gu Tianqing was cutting the flower branches, and with a shake of her hand, she cut off a large piece, and the flower branches that were originally very delicately cut suddenly had defects and had no beauty.

Gu Tianqing stared at the ugly flower branch for a while, and suddenly smashed the flower pot on the ground, making a violent noise, and the beautiful shop suddenly became hideous.

Her first reaction was actually the same as Zeng Xiuyun's, suspecting that she had misheard.

Although Zhao Li is a cool official, he has been prosperous for a long time, because he is a person who understands current affairs.

Moreover, Gu Tianqing has already automatically classified Zhao Li as his own. Eradicate dissidents for her, and when Ling Yu's matter is done, Gu Tianqing also plans to say a few good words in front of the emperor and let the emperor promote him.

Zhao Liming knew that Zeng Xiuyun was her person, why did she attack him?

Gu Tianqing faintly felt that something was beyond her control, and this feeling was very uneasy. Gu Tianqing took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and her eyes only revealed a burst of anger: "Let Zhao Li come to see the palace." "

"Obey the mother's orders. "

The palace people went and came back soon, but they didn't bring Zhao Li.

The anger on Gu Tianqing's face had turned into anger: "Zhao Li is so bold, he dares not to come to the palace!"

The palace people trembled and reported: "Niangniang, Zhao is at Your Majesty's place. "

"Where is Your Majesty?" Gu Tianqing's face changed, his body couldn't help but soften, and the expression on his face was restless, "As soon as Zhao Li came out of His Majesty, he immediately asked him to come to the palace. "

Jinlan Palace.

At night, the lights and candles are shining, and it is the hot summer, and the cold still fills every corner of the palace.

Zhao Li knelt on the ground, his back bent, in an extremely respectful posture.

If it weren't for the sound of the Emperor's steady breathing above his head, he would have almost thought that there was no one in the seat.

After a long time, the emperor's voice sounded, and he couldn't hear the joy and anger: "Zhao Li, why do you want to do this?"

This matter was puzzling even to the emperor.

In his opinion, Zeng Xiuyun would never rebel. Moreover, Gu Tianqing's mother is not pampered, and Zeng Xiuyun has a very poor relationship with Gu Xiong, almost no contact, so it is even more impossible for Zeng Xiuyun to collude with Gu Xiong.

However, Zhao Li arrested Zeng Xiuyun, and he couldn't figure out his idea of using this handy sword at all.

Zhao Li was originally a traitor and mean-looking, and his eyes were ugly, but in front of the emperor, he actually gave people a feeling of extreme loyalty.

Zhao Li opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister went to search the Zeng Mansion only after hearing a report, and the minister searched Gu Xiong's token from Zeng Xiuyun's bedroom, which is rumored to be able to mobilize the Gu family's old department." In addition, the minister also found some things, Zeng Xiuyun bought a large number of iron tools from the north, and did not sell them, but hid them in his own warehouse. The Zeng Mansion had its own nursing home, with a total of 5,000 people, each with a weapon. These guards may be insignificant compared to hundreds of thousands of troops, but Your Majesty Yecheng's personal guards are exactly 5,000 people. "

The emperor's face suddenly turned horrified.

He knew that Gu Tianqing was protecting his mother's family. But Zeng Xiuyun is a businessman, no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to shake his country, and it has not touched his bottom line. And Zeng Xiuyun was the merchant who paid the most tribute in the entire Yecheng, and his treasury was full, and the emperor turned a blind eye.

Anyone, once powerful, will have many ideas, and businessmen are no exception.

The emperor's fingers tapped on the tabletop and became urgent: "Before this, the queen has looked for you many times. "

Zhao Li knelt down, his whole body prostrate on the ground, like a dog, in a humble but absolutely surrendered posture: "The minister is only loyal to His Majesty." "

The Emperor stared at him for a moment, he was suspicious by nature and would not trust anyone easily. The emperor's mind flashed through what had happened recently, assessing the truth of Zhao Li's words.

"This case is well investigated, no matter who you find out, I will be on your side. The Emperor said.

A dark light flashed in Zhao Li's eyes.

The emperor chose to believe him.

"Your Majesty will not be disappointed. After Zhao Li finished speaking, he knelt and retreated.

As soon as Zhao Li walked out of the gate of Jinlan Palace, the people in the queen's palace blocked his way.

The tone of the palace man was arrogant: "Lord Zhao, Niangniang wants to see you." "

In the eyes of the queen, Zhao Li was a dog, and these subordinates did not take him seriously, and his tone was full of contempt.

"I'm a foreign minister, so it's inconvenient to go to see my mother. If you have something to say, it is better to ask Your Majesty directly. After Zhao Li finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The palace man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhao Li's attitude to change so much, he took a hard bite at his back, and went to complain to Gu Tianqing.

Gu Tianqing's hands were clenched into fists, and the severe pain did not bring her back to her senses, but she did not lose her mind and questioned the emperor.

Something is completely out of control.

Gu Tianqing's heart became more and more panicked.

Zhao Li's arrest of Zeng Xiuyun, was it his own lawlessness or the emperor's will?

On the night of the second day, the emperor stayed at Ganquan Palace.

After the grace, Gu Tianqing lay in the emperor's arms, her eyes were like silk, and she said with a coquettish meaning: "Your Majesty, the concubine recently heard that Zhao Li's reputation among the people is extremely bad. The courtiers said that Zhao Li, under the pretext of being loyal to His Majesty, eradicated dissidents in a cruel manner......"

Before Gu Tianqing's words fell, the emperor grabbed her hand and asked, "Which courtier told Concubine Ai?"

The emperor's eyes were deep, and he could not see joy or anger. Gu Tianqing stared at him for a long time before he said, "Lord Wang of the military department......"

The emperor's face turned cold instantly, he turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes and walked out: "Empress, it's enough for you to take care of the harem for me, don't ask so much about the affairs of the previous dynasty." "

The Emperor's voice was cold, with a warning.

Gu Tianqing was lying naked on the bed, and her heart was cold.

The emperor was furious.

Gu Tianqing's hands were covered with his eyes, and his body seemed to be lying in the mud, sinking little by little.

And there was a pair of eyes, out of her sight, calmly watching all this happen.

The most terrifying thing in the world is that she doesn't even know where the enemy is.

After Zhao Li left the palace, he did not go to the Criminal Department, but went directly back to his residence. He had always been a loner, without a wife, and without a servant by his side. The courtyard where he lived was gloomy, and it was said that there were white bones and human skins in it, and the people secretly rejoiced that he did not like to be served.

Zhao Li entered his room, closed the door, and saw that there was already a person standing in the door.

She stood with her back to him, dressed in a black dress that blended in with the darkness of the room.

The door closed, and she turned her head slowly, her face hidden in darkness, indistinct.

Zhao Li knelt down towards her, he raised his head and looked up at the woman in front of him. The loyalty on his face was completely different from when he faced the emperor, it was a loyalty engraved in his bones, which could never be erased.

"Young host, everything goes according to your wishes, not a drop of water. "

The woman standing was Gu Tianlan, and the person in front of him was the person his father had cultivated, and he had absolute loyalty.

The corners of Gu Tianlan's mouth slowly hooked into a smile.

Very good.

Zhao Li first arrested a group of people that Li Yejin disliked very much, making him feel that Zhao Li was absolutely loyal to him. He arrested Ling Yu again and used cruel methods. In the emperor's eyes, Ling Yu and the Gu family were one. Zhao Li treated Ling Yu so cruelly, it was impossible for him to have the slightest relationship with the Gu family. This step by step deepened Li Yejin's trust in him. and then to Zeng Xiuyun, Zhao Li successfully planted the seeds of doubt in Li Yejin's heart.

Li Ye suspected that Zeng Xiuyun would be involved in Gu Tianqing's body. He was afraid of Zeng Xiuyun, and he would be like he was afraid of the Gu family back then.

Gu Tianlan wanted Gu Tianqing to taste the pain she had suffered back then.

The lover doubts, betrayals, the loss of loved ones, and the death of loneliness.

She's back.

Zhao Li's allegiance is not to Gu Tianqing, let alone Li Yejin, but to Gu Tianlan.
