Chapter 381: Twists and Turns
After a while, Wu Zetian was puzzled: "By the way, I just heard a report from the Imperial Forest Army that you have something urgent to do, saying that it is to stop it...... Prevent the beauty from marrying Guo Shimei, Guo Shangshu's son, ......" looked at the beauty and said with a smile, "It seems that this kiss is yellow, right?"
Tianbao was embarrassed for a while, and the beauty hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Emperor Xie cares, my niece is fine."
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, that's good, that's good, but ...... What's going on here? Can you tell me?"
Ai Xue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the whole thing was planned by that Guo Shimei, and he single-handedly designed to frame Prince Hengan and Tian...... Longji, forced the beauty to marry him, and put Longji to death."
Wu Zetian was surprised, "Really? LONGi, is what Aixue said true?"
Tianbao nodded and said, "Well, that's why Longji begged the Imperial Grandmother to investigate Guo Shimei that night."
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, I have already asked someone to be sent to investigate secretly, and I believe that it will soon come to light, if it is really him who did it, I will never spare it."
Everyone was shocked, and Ai Xue wondered, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen, Longji, haven't you been locked up in a prison? When have you seen the emperor?"
Wu Zetian smiled: "Look, Aixue is still in the dark, tell her what is going on."
Tianbao hurriedly said, "It's the emperor's grandmother...... Aixue, in fact, when Guo Shimei asked the beauty for the first time, the beauty had already found out that something was wrong, so the beauty told Sister Xiu."
Playback: In an inn room, the beauty and Sister Xiu meet secretly.
Sister Xiu was surprised, "Do you really suspect that Guo Shimei did it?"
The beauty nodded and said, "Well, as soon as my father has an accident, it is not too early or too late, he happened to catch the murderer at a critical time, just ask the world, how can there be such a coincidence."
Sister Xiu pondered, "Well, this is indeed very suspicious, so what are you going to do?"
The beauty thought for a while and said, "In order not to startle the snake, and to save my father, I must let the real murderer stand up, so I want to pretend not to know and stabilize him first."
Sister Xiu thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, that's good, then I'll go back and discuss with Tianbao to see what he can do."
The beauty nodded, "Yes." ……
……
Ai Xue suddenly realized and said in surprise, "I see."
Tianbao nodded and said, "Later, Sister Xiu told me about it, but she didn't want to, and when I was competing in Wu Zhuangyuan the next day, I was framed by Guo Shimei."
Ai Xue hurriedly said, "What about later?"
Wu Zetian continued: "I felt that there might be grievances in it, so on the night that Longji was transferred to the prison, I avoided everyone and went to the prison to see Longji secretly."
Replay: Late at night, in the prison, Tianbao was sitting in the prison, and his body was stinging with a beating.
At this time, he saw a little eunuch walking in with a man in a cloak, and the eunuch bowed down before the prison door.
The man took off his cloak, but it was Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian shouted softly, "Tianbao......"
Tianbao was startled, slowly raised his head, and when he saw Wu Zetian, he was shocked, and hurriedly struggled and said, "Emperor, Emperor......"
Wu Zetian hurriedly said, "You don't have to get up, they are too much, they actually hurt you so much......
Tianbao struggled to stand up, walked to the side of the prison and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people have been wronged, Your Majesty."
Wu Zetian said, "I came here this time to hear your explanation."
Tianbao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the grass people feel that this matter and the matter of Prince Heng'an are all related to one person."
Wu Zetian was surprised: "Oh? Who is it?"
Tianbao said silently, "Guo Shimei, the son of Guo Shangshu."
Wu Zetian was surprised: "He? Why would he do that?"
Tianbao hurriedly said: "He has always been at odds with the grass people, and he has designed to frame the grass people many times, and this Wu Zhuangyuan competition is the grass people recommended by him, there must be something wrong with this."
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, what about King Heng'an? What does it have to do with him?"
Tianbao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I can't figure out why for the time being, but the day before yesterday, he made an appointment with the county lord and said that he had caught the real murderer, and the county lord suspected that the five corpses in the capital were related to him."
Wu Zetian thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, these two cases are related to him, which is indeed very problematic, so do you have anything to help you?"
Tianbao said: "Thank the emperor for his good intentions, but so many people have witnessed the martial arts competition, if the grass people want the emperor to pardon him, it will indeed be very difficult for the emperor."
Wu Zetian pondered: "This is indeed very difficult, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Tianbao nodded and said: "So the grass people don't ask for anything else, they just ask the emperor to let Zhang Khan secretly investigate the case of Prince Heng'an, find out the real murderer, return the prince's innocence, and return the grass people to an innocence, even if the grass people die, they have no regrets."
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, at this time, you can still think about others, it's really rare, but I have a way to make the real murderer reveal his true form as soon as possible, but this method is too dangerous, and it is difficult to recover the arrows shot, I wonder if you are willing to give it a try?"
Tianbao hurriedly said, "As long as the real culprit can be caught, the grass people are willing to give it a try."
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Okay, then let's just try."
……
Everyone was shocked, and Ai Xue hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, then, what kind of solution is that?"
Wu Zetian took a sip of tea and continued: "Because at that time, I received a secret letter, which was reported by the minister of the DPRK and China that Zhang Qing's family had gathered the party to rebel."
Ai Xue was surprised: "Gather the party to rebel?"
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "So I took this opportunity to nominally put Zhang Qing's family under house arrest, and the real purpose was to let him secretly command the investigation of the five corpses case in the capital and the Wu Zhuangyuan competition, and even my princess Taiping did not tell her the real reason, so that everyone thought that I was determined to kill Longji."
Ai Xue was taken aback and said hurriedly, "Imperial Grandmother, then why do you really want to kill Longji?"
Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, and Tianbao hurriedly said, "Aixue, don't blame the imperial grandmother, this is actually what I meant."
Everyone was shocked, and Ai Xue was surprised, "What do you mean? Are you crazy?"
Tianbao said embarrassedly, "Don't be nervous, isn't this okay for me?"
Ai Xue said angrily: "You, I'm really angry with you, and I don't know that everyone is worried about you."
Sister Xiu persuaded, "Aixue, don't worry, isn't Tianbao trying to find the real murderer as soon as possible?"
Ai Xue hurriedly said, "Even if you want to find the real murderer, you don't have to fight with your life like this."
Tianbao hurriedly comforted, "It's my mistake, you can forgive me this time, huh?"
Aixue was angry for a while, turned her face away with a "ho", and said angrily, "You are so bad, I will ignore you."
Tianbao was helpless for a while, and said, "I know that if I want to solve the case, I must let the murderer think that the female actor has succeeded and expose himself, so let the emperor sentence me to be beheaded in three days."
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Later, the real culprit of the five corpses case came to the Criminal Department to surrender, but he suddenly died before he could be interrogated......
Tianbao nodded and said, "When Guo Shimei sneaked into the cell last night and ridiculed me, several adults from Dali Temple and Yushi were next door."
Wu Zetian sighed and said, "It's a pity, we still miscalculated, I thought he would say everything and make a fool of himself."
Tianbao shook his head and said, "It's a pity that he doesn't speak leaky, and he keeps his voice very low, they don't hear anything clearly, and we can't catch the slightest handle."
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "This morning, I felt that this plan had failed, and just when I was hesitating whether to forcibly collect the arrows and send someone to save Tianbao, Gonggong Hong suddenly woke up and told me that Tianbao is my grandson."
Tianbao nodded and said, "It's just that I didn't expect Guo Shimei to be so frustrated and force the beauty to marry him today."
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "So as soon as I heard the report of the Royal Forest Army, I asked someone to call a beautiful woman to see me."
Everyone suddenly realized, and Lux was surprised: "Ah, it turns out that this is all a game under the emperor, you and Longjibu, catch Guo Shimei, a big fish."
Tianbao sighed and said, "
It's a pity that in the end, it still fails."
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "I almost killed Longji by mistake, I knew it was so dangerous, I wouldn't have done this."
Lux nodded and said, "Longji, thanks to Sister Xiu, Aixue, and Qingnu, otherwise your life would be gone."
Tianbao nodded and said, "Well, it's all Sister Xiu, Aixue, Qingnu and Big Brother who brought me back from the Ghost Gate."
Sister Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I don't think your plan has completely failed."
Everyone was shocked, and Wu Zetian was surprised: "Oh? What do you mean by that?"
Sister Xiu muttered: "Guo Shimei failed to marry Longji this time, but let Longji recognize the emperor, I think they must not have imagined that things would develop like this, they will definitely be thieves, and there will definitely be next steps, maybe they are afraid that the emperor will track them down, and they are ready to abscond."
Everyone was shocked, and Sister Xiu continued, "So, as long as we closely monitor their every move, I believe we will soon reap the rewards."
Tianbao hurriedly said, "Yes, what Sister Xiu said is very likely.
Wu Zetian said with a smile: "You can rest assured about this, the Zhang Qing family has already sent people to closely monitor the Guo Mansion's every move, as long as they have movement, they will definitely not be able to escape."
Everyone was taken aback, and Sister Xiu nodded, "Well, that's good."
After a while, Wu Zetian held Tianbao's hand and said, "Longji, you recognize Dan'er and Concubine De this time, so when do you plan to move back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and reunite with them?"
Tianbao looked at Li Dan and the princess, and said carefully, "Father, mother, the child wants to wait for this matter to be settled and move over in a few days, is it okay?"
Li Dan and the princess were stunned, and the princess hurriedly said: "Of course it's no problem, my mother knows that you can't bear Shilixiang, since you are safe and sound, then we have nothing to worry about, you move here a few days later, it's the same."
Li Dan hurriedly said: "Father also means this, you can move over whenever you like, we won't force you."
Tianbao was overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, father, mother."
Wu Zetian looked at Tianbao, held Tianbao's hand, burst of joy, and praised, "Longji, you are really the good imperial grandson of the imperial grandmother."
