As soon as the words fell, two guards suddenly came in from outside and directly dragged Zhao Gonggong out.

"Who do you want to sue?" The guard asked, dragging his feet.

The faces of several people changed, and Wei Qing got up and wanted to stop him, but Gonggong Zhao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master, don't speak, the old slave will come back later!"

"Grandpa Zhao!" Wei Qing's lips were bitten.

"Master, old slave, please, don't speak!" Until Gonggong Zhao was dragged out, he was still pleading with Wei Qing.

He understood now that the Heart Cultivation Hall had long since become a prison, and there were people listening to them everywhere. If they say the wrong thing, they will be dragged out and questioned.

Therefore, Wei Qing must not say the wrong thing.

Wei Qing himself understood this truth, so he could only endure the grievances in his heart and hugged Wei Ning without saying a word......

After a night.

Early the next morning, the dying Zhao Gonggong was sent back to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

He had one hand broken and several teeth shattered.

The guard who sent him back laughed, "The old thing has a hard mouth, and the next time you dare to talk nonsense, you will pull out your tongue too."

The two sisters looked at Zhao Gonggong's appearance, and they were already crying like tearful people.

But they held back, they knew that as long as they could endure until Shen Yunfan came back, maybe everything would be variable.

But what they didn't expect was that a message suddenly spread in the Imperial Palace.

"I heard that Lord Shen died, and he was beaten to death by the people of Qianyuan City!"

"Relying on himself as the prime minister, he dares to go to Qianyuan City, and the people in that place are not used to him!"

When Wei Qing heard the news, he didn't believe it at first. But more and more people spoke, and she couldn't bear the anxiety in her heart, so she asked someone, "Where did you hear this news?"

"Of course, it came back from Qianyuan City."

"No, it must be fake news." Wei Qing shook his head and said.

"Cut, believe it or not."

Wei Qing was suspicious, so he asked people to find Xu Kailin.

In today's palace, only Xu Kailin can be called half a loyal minister, so Wei Qing asked him about the rumors in the palace.

Xu Kailin said seriously: "I don't know if this news is true or not, but princess, I have something I want to remind you."

"What's the matter?" Wei Qing asked.

"Now that it has been several days since you abdicated, it stands to reason that someone has already reported such a big matter to Qianyuan City...... But for so many days, there has been no news from Lord Shen's side." Xu Kailin's expression was a little solemn.

In fact, he also vaguely felt that something might have happened to Shen Yunfan, otherwise it would be impossible for so many days without news.

Wei Qing's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he shook his head and muttered, "No, he promised me to come back, no."

"Ugh." Xu Kailin sighed, and didn't know how to comfort him.

In fact, he didn't want Shen Yunfan to have an accident, after all, if Concubine Zhao really sat in a secure position, he, an old minister, would be very uncomfortable.

……

In the Cining Palace, the young eunuch was reporting: "Niangniang, the news has been spread."

"Okay." Concubine Zhao held her head with one hand and looked lazy.

"Is it useful to go to great lengths to spread such false news?" The eunuch was puzzled.

"Zhanyu, you seem to be suspicious of Hongu a lot lately." Concubine Zhao's tone was sharp.

A fierce light flashed in Zhanyu's eyes, but he still knelt on the ground and complimented: "Niangniang, I'm just too stupid, I'm not questioning Niangniang, please forgive Niangniang!"

"Then this palace will explain it to you." Concubine Zhao said lazily, "Everything in the world is the most important thing. We sent someone to stop all the messengers, and that Lord Shen definitely didn't hear from him."

"Now there is no response from Qianyuan City, let's release the news that Lord Shen has an accident, Wei Qing will definitely be in chaos when he hears this news, and the other ministers will also have to weigh how to stand in line."

Zhanyu suddenly realized: "True and false, false and real, good means!"

「

Well...... Let's pinch Hongu's shoulder."

Zhanyu licked his lips when he heard this, stepped forward, and pressed his two hands on Concubine Zhao's plump body.

Concubine Zhao snorted lightly and said, "You're really getting better and better."

"It's better to be taught by a mother!" Zhanyu said with a smile.

When the atmosphere was in full swing, a guard suddenly rushed in from outside.

The two people in the palace were startled, and Zhanyu hurriedly pulled his hand out of Concubine Zhao's clothes, pretending that nothing had happened.

Concubine Zhao's face turned red, and she said unhappily, "What's the matter?"

The spy didn't notice the abnormality of the two, but hurriedly shouted, "Niangniang, the spy is urgent!"

"Say."

"Thirty miles east of the border of Xilin Prefecture, it seems that I have found the trace of that Lord Shen!"

"What?" Concubine Zhao stood up suddenly, "How can it be so fast?"

Zhan Yu guessed, "Could it be that some fish escaped through the net and spread the news to Qianyuan City?"

The guard below added, "The spy is too far away, so it's just suspicious, and I can't be sure it's Lord Shen."

Concubine Zhao paced left and right, and said solemnly, "No matter what, we have to be fully prepared. Xiao Zhan, what's going on with the Chuzhou Army?"

"In the name of the emperor, 20,000 have been collected!" Zhanyu replied truthfully.

"Go to the reorganization immediately, and send another holy decree to go down, and let all the officials in the capital come to the palace tomorrow to go to the morning court!" Concubine Zhao commanded.

"Yes!" Zhanyu responded and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Concubine Zhao sighed and sat back, but she was inexplicably a little uneasy in her heart.
