After rescue, the emperor's life was temporarily saved, but the wound was too deep, and the time when it was discovered was too late, and his life was always hanging by a thread.

Fortunately, the emperor had already planned to secretly call the prince to him and instructed that if something happened to him one day, all matters in the palace would be handled by him.

It's just that the crown prince is still young, which is why the emperor is already over half a hundred years old, but he is still reluctant to abdicate. It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare, so I will be careful to watch out for Qin Boyong.

After all, the crown prince is still too young, and he is more than capable of many things, and thanks to the assistance of the prince by his side, otherwise, he alone will not be able to handle many things correctly.

The emperor's life was hung by the imperial doctor, and all kinds of methods had no effect, and the emperor's breath was getting weaker and weaker.

The person who assassinated the emperor was arrested and returned to the palace the next day, and the prince himself interrogated.

"Look up." The crown prince sat on the dragon chair and looked condescendingly at the people kneeling below.

The man slowly lifted his head and smiled triumphantly. Wang Gonggong looked carefully, "Prince, that's right, this person is the eunuch who just entered the palace a month ago." ”

It turned out that Zhou Xun had already found a substitute for himself before entering the palace, and in order not to expose himself, he specially disguised himself into the appearance of that person, and at this moment, the person kneeling in the hall was naturally not Zhou Xun.

"Say, why did you kill the emperor?" The prince was sitting precariously, his immature face pretending to be serious.

"I'm not stupid, why should I say it? Anyway, it's just a death, so it's better to give me a good time. ”

His life has been bought by Zhou Xun for a thousand taels of silver, this silver is enough for a family of wives and children to live for most of their lives, thinking that their families can live happily in the future, even if it is worth exchanging their lives.

"You think it's beautiful, you want to have a good time, this palace sees you as delusional! I advise you to confess as soon as possible, otherwise you will be worse off than dead. ”

"This—" The man suddenly made a mistake.

"Prince, if you don't give him some hardship, I'm afraid he won't want to admit it." Turning his head to look at the guards standing in the corner, the sharp voice of the prince sounded: "Come on, put on the torture instrument, see if he can recruit or not!" ”

As soon as the words fell, someone came in with a torture instrument at the door, and after just one glance, the man immediately turned pale with fright, "Wait, I'll recruit me!" As he spoke, he lay on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Hmph, I thought I was really not afraid of heaven and earth! Go ahead! Who sent you! ”

Zhou Xun naturally had already explained his words, and at this moment he said exactly what Zhou Xun asked him to say, "The slave was ordered by King Yong to sneak into the palace." ”

"What? You said Uncle Huang asked you to come? The prince's face was full of disbelief, although he knew that the relationship between the imperial uncle and his father had not been harmonious, but the imperial uncle had always loved him very much, and with his understanding of Qin Boyong, he would never do such a reckless thing.

"Exactly, King Yong gave me a large sum of money, let me enter the palace to kill the emperor, and threatened to behead the slaves if I didn't want to!"

The prince listened carefully to the man's words, and felt more and more incredible, but the truth of the matter was still unknown.

"Prince, don't listen to him alone, for now, let's put him in the dungeon first, the slave has already ordered someone to investigate this matter, and then deal with him when there is a result."

As the prince said, there was really no other way at the moment, so he nodded and watched as the man was escorted away from him.

That night, the emperor finally died of his injuries and could not survive the ride.

And the murderer of the emperor also committed suicide by biting his tongue in the prison, and when he was discovered, he still had a weird smile on his face, and anyone who saw it felt panicked.

Since Gu Muzhi regained her memory, she secretly planned for her every move in the future, she knew what the mother clan was going to do, Zuo just seized the imperial power and occupied the mountain as the king, and how could Gu Muzhi stand by and watch?

Today's guards have almost withdrawn, and Zhou Xun also sent someone to inform him that Gu Muzhi can move around at will, but she can't leave her mother's clan, but this is exactly what she wants.

"Yo, isn't this Gu Muzhi?" Taking advantage of the good weather today, Gu Muzhi estimated that his plan was almost ready to start, so he went out with a heart.

Looking at the oncoming Zhang Yan, Gu Muzhi showed an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, and then came to Zhang Yan quietly, "Zhang Gongzi hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

Zhang Yan couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, and asked directly, "Why are you here?" I heard that you have amnesia and went to the Qin Palace. ”

Everyone in the world thinks that the people of the mother family work together, but only those who are in it know that this is not the case. In fact, the power of the mother clan is divided into two major factions, one of which is the faction where Zhou Xun is located, who wants to seek imperial power and be the emperor, and the other faction is headed by Zhang Yan, these people do not want to stir up disputes, they just want to live in peace, so they are easily unwilling to participate in the things that Zhou Xun is planning.

It seems that even God is deliberately helping himself. Gu Muzhi replied softly: "That's right, I was tied up by Zhou Xun a few days ago, and I just recovered my memory. I didn't expect to run into you here. ”

In the past, when Gu Muzhi did not have amnesia, Zhang Yan secretly helped her a lot, so the two of them can be regarded as people of the united front.

Zhang Yan was worried that there would be too many people outside, so he took Gu Muzhi to his residence. Gu Muzhi didn't go around in circles, and after a while of greetings, he directly told Zhang Yan what he thought and asked him to assist him. Zhang Yan is also a cheerful person, and after listening to Gu Muzhi's words, he agreed without thinking about it.

In the days to come, with Zhang Yan's help, he quickly enveloped the hearts of those who were unwilling to participate in the dispute.

Zhou Xun quickly noticed this, but it was too late at this time, Gu Muzhi had already set up his own faction with those people.

Zhou Xun said in his heart that he was not in a hurry, and at the same time, he also regretted why he didn't observe carefully, if he had found out that Gu Muzhi had recovered his memory earlier, there would have been no more of these things.

"Xiao An, where is Gu Muzhi?"

"Hui Gongzi, at Zhang Yan's."

Zhou Xun's eyes closed slightly, and he frowned unhappily when he heard Zhang Yan's name. Zhang Yan and him have always been fighting openly and secretly, but he didn't expect Gu Muzhi to be with him, but this time he was really negligent.

"Eh, Childe! Where are you going? ”

When Xiao An came back to his senses, Zhou Xun had already walked far away, and he hurriedly chased after him.
