Chapter 217 Chunxiang Confession
Luoyang, Taichu Palace.
Chunxiang had just left Ganquan Palace and was about to receive the tranquilizing medicine sent by the imperial kitchen when Xiao Qingfang and You Huan came over and blocked her way.
"The Internal Guards invite you. Please come with us."
You Huan had an expressionless face and reached out to grab Chunxiang's dress.
"I, I still have to serve His Majesty. I still have to serve His Majesty. I won't go to your Inner Guard House... No, I will go, but I have to report to His Majesty first. Please wait a moment, I will go in and report to His Majesty."
Chunxiang suddenly felt that a disaster was imminent and just wanted to go back to find Wu Zetian.
The Internal Guards definitely arrested her without Wu Zetian's consent. As long as they found Wu Zetian, she would definitely file a complaint against Xiao Qingfang.
"Do you think His Majesty will believe me or you?"
Xiao Qingfang showed her white teeth and smiled happily.
There are also people who want to play tricks on the head of the Imperial Guard to see who can gain more trust from the emperor. Aren't they stupid?
"Capture him!"
Xiao Qingfang waved her hand, and You Huan immediately dragged Chunxiang to the Neiwei Palace.
"Are you sure it's her?"
"There is no problem with the process of decocting the tranquilizing medicine. The apprentices who are responsible for delivering the tranquilizing medicine are also replaced every day. Unless the entire imperial kitchen has been bribed, they are definitely not the ones who added the medicine."
Behind the palace wall nearby, Li Cunxi and a few others leaned against the wall, chatting leisurely.
The weather has been good these days, and the lightning rod outside Ganquan Palace is of no use even if it is left inserted. So since we still have a lot of time, we will just check it slowly.
Wang Zhiyuan, the old and evil imperial master of Zixia Temple, is really stubborn and has not revealed any information so far.
Therefore, we can only find some clues from this little palace maid.
"Lord Li, you don't want me to go alone to explain to His Majesty, do you?" Xiao Qingfang turned over and said with a smile.
"Of course not, please."
……
Yangzhou.
Night has fallen, and the world seems to be shrouded in darkness.
Chen Yiqiu, in disguise, came to Xize Bank, handed a piece of information to Tao Gan, and then left quickly.
Tao Gan took the envelope to the back hall, read the contents carefully, then immediately picked up his inkstone and pen and began to write the letter.
Soon, after writing the letter, Tao Gan took the envelope and found a waiter outside.
"Zhou Lu, you must deliver this letter to the head of the family within a week. This is a serious matter, and it is time to test you."
The guy took the letter and nodded heavily.
"My master has been very kind to me. He even brought me down the mountain and gave me a good meal. Even if I die, I will deliver the letter to the master."
"Okay, here are five taels of silver. Go quickly and come back soon."
"I'm leaving right now!"
……
In Luoyang, as the night ended and the day dawned, a bright light appeared in the sky.
In Ganquan Palace, Wu Zetian, who had slept soundly last night, got up from bed without the magic weapon, the Nightmare Crown, on her head.
"I slept really well tonight."
"Order Li Cunxi, Xiao Qingfang, Hu Jinghui, Li Yuanfang, and Wu Yanhao to come."
The two eunuchs who had just been transferred over hurried out to look for Li Cunxi and others.
The five people who had been freezing outside Ganquan Palace for a whole night finally entered the palace and paid their respects to Wu Zetian, who was already sitting on the dragon throne and rinsing her mouth with honey water.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
"Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After standing all night, they were finally able to sit down. Everyone sat down, ready to listen to what Wu Zetian had to say.
"Ask the imperial kitchen to make a pot of lean meat porridge for you, my dear ministers, to have for breakfast."
Wu Zetian waved her hand and spoke to a eunuch.
"Yes."
The eunuch responded, tiptoed out of Ganlu Palace, and went outside to pass on the message.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Wu Zetian washed her face and hands, rinsed her mouth with honey water with the help of the eunuchs. Only after she was clean did she let the eunuch carry the golden, glittering basin away.
"My dear ministers, I haven't slept so soundly for a long time."
Wu Zetian looked good and was in a good mood.
"This is the first time I can sleep so soundly without the Nightmare Crown. It seems that the medicine I drank before did have many problems. How did you find out?"
Li Cunxi became serious and said, "Your Majesty's repeated nightmares may be related to the massacre of the inner guards. We rashly arrested Chunxiang because of this, and I'm afraid Chunxiang has confessed now."
Outside Ganlu Palace, an inner guard arrived in a hurry.
He stopped outside and said to the Qianniu Guards on duty: "Please report to His Majesty that Chunxiang confessed half an hour ago!"
The Qianniu Guard did not dare to delay and immediately went into Ganquan Palace to report.
Soon, a confession appeared in Wu Zetian's hands.
After reading the testimony over and over again, the veins on Wu Zetian's forehead became more and more obvious.
This woman is very angry, and you can imagine how much she wants to chop someone.
"I treated Chunxiang with my whole heart, but I never thought Chunxiang would treat me like this!"
"Pass on my order to exterminate Chunxiang's entire clan!"
Wu Zetian roared like an erupting volcano.
"Bring the Imperial Preceptor Wang Zhiyuan to the Inner Guard House and interrogate him thoroughly. We must find out who is behind Wang Zhiyuan!"
Once the decree was issued, there was no possibility of taking it back. Wu Zetian handed the testimony to the eunuch, who then handed it to Li Cunxi.
Holding the testimony, Li Cunxi read it carefully.
This small piece of testimony basically betrayed the executor of this case.
National Master Wang Zhiyuan and Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun were both involved, and according to Chunxiang's confession, National Master Wang Zhiyuan was the mastermind.
However, how could Wang Zhiyuan, who was only good at playing tricks, be the mastermind? Wu Zetian, who knew the truth, naturally ignored this possibility and decided to look for some clues from Wang Zhiyuan.
However, the biggest problem has not yet occurred. That group of anti-military forces is so good at hiding that apart from the bloodbath in Enji Village, they have never appeared.
Everyone read the testimony one by one, and then acted like cowards together.
"My dear ministers, He Yun has never been brought to justice. I suspect that they may have colluded with those traitors who opposed me."
"I need you to help me solve my problems. What do you think?"
Wu Zetian looked around at everyone, her eyes filled with anger.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to die for you!"
Everyone stood up and shouted together.
"Okay, on the day this case is solved, you will all be rewarded!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
……
After leaving Taichu Palace, the five people walked on the streets of Luoyang. The five of them were now bound together.
If the case is solved, everyone will prosper; if something goes wrong, everyone will suffer.
Li Cunxi smacked his lips and said, "I didn't feel full after drinking the lean meat porridge just now. Do you want to go get some snacks together?"
"Where to eat."
Wu Yanhao felt almost broken after not sleeping all night. There was no light in his eyes and he just wanted to go back to bed immediately.
"General Xiao, is there any place to eat in Luoyang City?"
"Are you treating me? If you treat me, I'll take you there."
"It's just a quickie. I'm broke."
"With the Di Mansion behind you, can you be penniless?"
