Zhou Xing was really afraid, he had never been so afraid.

This was an instinct to perceive danger, so he didn't care about the pain and crawled at Wu Zetian's feet.

But......

He was completely distraught. Because he couldn't think of any way for him to live, let alone how to defend himself.

This letter is fatal, at the beginning, Zhou Xing ran to Wu Zetian to tell the secret, of course, to fight Qin Shaoyou, but he knew very well that Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping was involved, he could know, His Majesty could also know, but he must not let the third person know, so on that day, he found Wu Zetian and let Wu Zetian retreat, there were only two people in the Xuanzheng Hall at that time, God knows you know I know.

Wu Zetian cared about Li Lingyue and was chaotic, so he naturally asked him to investigate thoroughly, and Zhou Xing wanted this result, but he couldn't think of it anyway, he originally thought that he would use it to clean up Qin Shaoyou's things, but now he sounded the death knell for himself.

Every word written in this note implies murderous intentions, to the effect that the minister heard that it is now circulating everywhere in Luoyang City, saying that the relationship between Qin Shaoyou and Princess Taiping is extraordinary, and the minister also heard that His Majesty ordered Zhou Xing, the official of the autumn office, to strictly investigate the matter, but the minister felt that the matter was big, why Zhou Xing had not yet verified, so that rumors spread in the streets.

If you talk about the front, the not very innocent relationship between Qin Shaoyou and Li Lingyue has attracted some gossip, which is reasonable, but the real lethality ↖ is the sentence at the back that the minister also heard that His Majesty ordered Zhou Xing to investigate strictly, this matter is confidential, it is a conversation between Wu Zetian and Zhou Xing when they were in the Xuanzheng Palace, and no third party will know, but now, the entire Luoyang City knows about it.

What does this mean?

It means that one of the two people leaked this secret, could it be Wu Zetian? Of course, this is absolutely impossible, it involves his own daughter, and Wu Zetian is very taboo about this matter. has always been tight-lipped, how can he confide in others.

Since he is not the Son of Heaven, then who else can there be? Standing in Wu Zetian's position, such a big thing has actually spread all over the world, except for yourself, only you Zhou Xing knows, if it is not the news released by you Zhou Xing, who else can there be?

You have a disagreement with Qin Shaoyou, you have to fight Qin Shaoyou. So when you release the news, in fact, if you just exclude dissidents, it would be fine, but when it comes to Princess Taiping, in order to clean up Qin Shaoyou, you actually don't even care about Princess Taiping's reputation, not only making Princess Taiping a laughing stock, but also making people in the palace ridiculed, people like you. Isn't that hateful enough?

Qin Shaoyou beats people, hateful.

But you Zhou Xing is enough to cut a thousand knives!

Zhou Xing was already frightened, and he carefully recalled the monarchs and ministers in the Xuanzheng Palace. He has never confided a word, even if he is a fool, he knows that this matter is not trivial, and it can only be investigated secretly. Don't make a big deal. So he has always been cautious, even if he ordered his subordinates to do things, he only said that he had received some tips. said that the princess's mansion was mixed with a chaotic party, and it was just a matter of keeping an eye on it.

But...... How did the news get out?

Zhou Xing doesn't know.

He didn't know, because he really didn't know, and he couldn't figure out why such news was leaking out even if he wanted to break his head.

But if he can't think of it, he has to die!

Wu Zetian's eyes had already swept over the killing machine, and she looked at Zhou Xing coldly, she had never been so angry.

Zhou Xing is just one of her dogs, but this dog actually dared to attack the owner, and even bit his most beloved daughter, so ......

She laughed suddenly, and finally her eyes froze, and she said coldly: "Have you finished reading?" ”

"Look...... After reading ......" Zhou Xing trembled even more, and he lay on the ground like a dead dog.

"Then......" Wu Zetian raised his head and seemed to smile: "Do you want to give me an explanation?" ”

Zhou Xing said with difficulty: "Minister...... Minister...... The minister is wronged. ”

"If I really wronged you, then I leaked this matter?"

Zhou Xing said with difficulty: "Minister...... The minister didn't dare to ......" He was completely panicked, and hurriedly said: "Maybe...... Maybe it's Qin Shaoyou......"

"Qin Shaoyou......" Wu Zetian's eyes sharpened, and he sneered: "Is it Qin Shaoyou again?" How did Qin Shaoyou know about this, and how did he know? Since he doesn't know, how can he publicize it? Until now, you are still quibbling, and until now, you are still framing ...... here."

At this moment, Qin Shaoyou was brought in, and Qin Shaoyou walked into Ziwei Palace step by step, showing a little 'surprise' at what was happening in front of him.

But he only sneered in his heart, because from the beginning, he knew that this was how things would end.

He pretended to be confused and pursed his lips.

But Wu Zetian glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes, but said, "I understand, I understand completely." No wonder Qin Shaoyou wants to beat you, it's no wonder. She gritted her teeth and said: "There are so many rumors in the market, how can Qin Shaoyou not be angry when he learns about it?" In this rumor, there is the news that you received the secret decree, since you received the secret decree, then this news can only be known to you, since this is the case, then it must be the news that you released it, so Qin Shaoyou ......" At this time, Wu Zetian looked at Qin Shaoyou and said: "So you went to find Zhou Xing and beat him, right?" ”

Groove ...... My Emperor is a saint.

Qin Shaoyou praised in his heart, and said with a relieved face: "Yes, the minister listened to those rumors, and he was furious, although Zhou Xing and I were not on good terms this time, but after all, everyone was an official in the same dynasty, and I originally thought that the gentleman was harmonious but different, but it didn't hurt." Who knew that in order to harm me, he actually released such a news, slandering the minister, and even insulting Her Royal Highness the princess, the minister was angry for a while, so he went to the door, but ...... Because Her Royal Highness the princess was involved, the minister didn't dare to claim that he was beating him for Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, so he had to find other reasons and beat him hard to eliminate the hatred in his heart. As for Fang Cai, His Majesty asked the minister why he beat him, but the minister didn't dare to say because it was ...... Her Royal Highness the princess was involved in this matter, so ...... The minister died and did not dare to speak out. ”

Call......

Wu Zetian couldn't help but glance at Qin Shaoyou deeply.

She understood one more thing, just now, Qin Shaoyou didn't defend herself, it turned out that she took care of the princess.

Not to mention what is between Qin Shaoyou and the princess, but at least, Qin Shaoyou's cautious attitude would rather be convicted by the criminal department than tell the truth, it can be seen that Qin Shaoyou is not a 'bad' person.

But Zhou Xing was already frightened, he was excited, and suddenly smelled a hint of conspiracy.

He felt as if he had fallen into a trap.

It's just that he can't argue, because until now, he still can't solve the mystery that can never be solved, how did the matter of the Xuanzheng Palace get out? If he can't unravel it, then he can't justify it, and if he can't justify it, he has to die!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess asks to see you."

Just when there was a fierce confrontation in the hall, the main master, Li Lingyue, came.

With a face full of grievances, she slowly entered the palace, and when she saw Wu Zetian, she immediately burst into tears, and said with a crying voice: "Mother Emperor, you have to be the master of your sons." ”

Her fragrant shoulders moved slightly, and she continued: "The minister and Qin Shaoyou are innocent, but somehow, there are rumors everywhere outside, saying that the minister and Qin Shaoyou have something to do, and the minister ...... I don't want to live anymore. ”

Li Lingyue began to wipe away her tears, and continued miserably: "A few days ago, it was not wrong for Erchen and Qin Shaoyou to get very close, but one of them was because Erchen was idle and idle, so he simply did some business with Qin Shaoyou, Qin Shaoyou is a loyal person, and Erchen and he also earned some money for this, is it okay for Erchen to do something with others?" Besides, Erchen did invite Qin Shaoyou to the mansion a few times, and he did stay overnight, but ...... He and I, but we are talking in full view, and there is nothing unseemly, the mother emperor doesn't believe it, so he can call all the people in the mansion and ask one by one, if Qin Shaoyou and Erchen have avoided anyone in the mansion, Erchen will not live. ”

"Originally...... Originally, the purpose of asking Qin Shaoyou to come to the mansion was not wanted to be said by Erchen, but now it is impossible to say it. Won't it be the mother's birthday in a few days? As a daughter, how can Erchen be indifferent, so he wants to give a special gift on this birthday, but Erchen is stupid, it is really difficult to think of anything that can please the mother and emperor, and usually this Qin Shaoyou is loyal, but it is quite pleasing, there are always many unexpected ideas, such as the popsicle, smoothie and the like, Erchen thought, I have to invite him to the staff officer, so he called him to the house, Qin Shaoyou listened to Erchen's words, but also cheered up, saying that it is natural for Erchen to be filial, He must do his best, these days, we are preparing gifts, in order to make the mother happy on the birthday day, now this gift has been prepared, but I never imagined that someone slandered the head of the son, the name of the son was completely abused, how to go out to meet people in the future? There is also Qin Shaoyou, he was moved by the filial piety of his son, and he was willing to serve his son, this was the loyalty of a courtier, but he was also pulled into such a right and wrong, which not only made his son unable to live, but also Qin Shaoyou could not live. ”

"Mother Emperor, you must be the master of your sons."

“……”

Li Lingyue really said that virtue was miserable and miserable, and it can be said that every word is like blood, but to a certain extent, every word and sentence is not a divine weapon, as if countless holes have been pierced in Zhou Xing's body. (To be continued......)
