When Li Qingxuan returned home, it was getting late. His wife would be anxious if she woke up and couldn't see him.
As for the Huo family, let him live one more day.
And besides Huo Ge, the one in the palace who revealed Huazhi's whereabouts was the real danger.
After all, normally speaking, as long as someone with Huazhi's status doesn't leave the palace, others won't find a chance.
But if there are enemy spies in the palace, it's hard to tell.
When Li Qingxuan returned to the room, Huazhi was still sleeping soundly. He gently lifted up the quilt and got in, and then his waist was hugged by Huazhi who was sleeping in a daze.
The next morning, Huazhi got up early to go to court.
The job of the emperor is also very hard.
"Let me escort you to the palace to avoid danger."
Li Qingxuan said this.
"You? No need, I have imperial guards to escort me, and if you come to escort me, I have to protect you if you are really in danger."
Although Huazhi does not know martial arts, she has also practiced some moves to strengthen her body after entering the palace.
In her memory, Li Qingxuan seemed to do nothing but chop wood.
"How dare you look down on your husband."
Li Qingxuan did a few push-ups at that time.
"Look, I'm still strong."
Huazhi's face turned red again and she spat: "Not serious."
After saying that, he left the yard directly.
Li Qingxuan was stunned.
"What's wrong with me?"
Outside the courtyard, a figure wearing a Feiyu suit had been waiting for a long time. It was Xue Gang, the commander of the Tianyi Guards.
When His Majesty returns to the palace, he, the commander, will personally escort him. Only in this way can he show his loyalty.
"Five assassins were captured yesterday. Because it was late at night, there was no time to interrogate them. However, these assassins have very strict mouths. I am afraid that ordinary torture cannot pry their mouths open." Xue Gang reported.
"No matter how strict you are, you have to ask questions. There are actually spies from the enemy country in the palace. This cannot be tolerated." Huazhi said coldly.
She was really angry when she mentioned what happened yesterday. She almost died from such a big stone.
"My subordinates know."
Xue Gang quickly lowered his head.
This is his fault.
"Let the rallies in the city be cancelled."
Huazhi ordered again.
Although the rally is a lively and festive event for many people, it will undoubtedly give the enemy an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
"Actually, several officials in the city are highly suspicious. Some of them were promoted by the former prime minister, and some of them were people who had supported the Ninth Prince."
Speaking of the Ninth Prince, Xue Gang's voice became a little lower.
And Huazhi's face became even colder.
The ninth prince is her cousin, whom she grew up with as her childhood sweetheart.
She regarded him as her biological brother, but she didn't expect that he almost killed her.
"Monitor closely and find evidence as soon as possible."
Huazhi ordered.
This is the constraint of being an emperor. You cannot attack these people based on suspicion alone, but you must also pay attention to the influence on the government and the opposition.
Huazhi yawned.
Sitting in the carriage, I didn't get a good rest last night and was seriously sleep deprived.
…
Xue Gang thought of many ways to press him.
So I couldn't wait to return to the Fusi Prison in Beizhen just after leaving court.
The last time someone sneaked in, Xue Gang stepped up the defense of the prison.
There is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. It is simply the most heavily guarded place in the world.
"There's nothing unusual in the prison, right?"
Xue Gang looked at the person in charge of guarding.
"Don't worry, sir, not even a fly can fly in."
Xue Gang nodded and walked in, then his face turned dark.
On the white powder sprinkled on the ground, there was a series of clear footprints.
"Yeluguang, did your accomplice enter the prison last night?"
Xue Gang came to Yeluguang's cell door.
"No, absolutely not. I didn't even see a ghost."
Ye Luguang said while eating melon seeds.
He was not willing to finish the melon seeds last night and kept some.
"waste."
Xue Gang looked at his subordinates, anger rising in his chest.
In Tianyiwei's prison, the opponent can come and go as freely as his own back garden.
"Tell me who came to see you. I will give you a full meal."
Xue Gang said gloomily.
Yeluguang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly: "You must keep your word."
"That's natural."
"It's the master of Langya Pavilion."
"Master of Langya Pavilion?"
Xue Gang's heart suddenly became excited.
"Who is he? What's his name? Where does he live?"
"She is a big-breasted woman who can be both a lady and a lolita. When she is cold, she is like an iceberg, and when she is charming, she is like a burning fire..."
Yeluguang said seriously.
"Isn't that a great power?"
Xue Gang's expression was a bit ugly.
Do you think I'm a fool?
Yeluguang was embarrassed.
"...Yes, I am talking about the great power, she is the master of Langya Pavilion."
"The master of Langya Pavilion is actually a woman."
Xue Gang fell into deep thought.
Previously, he heard from members of the Tianyi Guard that based on those two characteristics, he found a woman who was extremely good at lightness skills. They lost track of her before they even took two steps to pursue her.
From this point of view, it is not impossible.
"Why did the master of Langya Pavilion come to you?"
Xue Gang asked.
"He wants to get my Bei Yuan's method of forging weapons."
Yeluguang said casually.
"Didn't you say that Da Mi Mi was the connector for the cooperation between Bei Yuan and Da Li?" Xue Gang frowned.
"I lied to you before."
Yeluguang said without hesitation
"Give him some food first."
Xue Gang ordered his subordinates.
"If you dare to lie to me, I will make you spit it out."
"this..."
Yeluguang's throat suddenly tightened.
Mad, you still want to stab me...
"Bring the man in black out to me."
Xue Gang plans to interrogate these assassins one by one.
He knew these people were very tough-talking.
The prison was filled with instruments of torture, and Xue Gang looked at him coldly.
"Tell me, who ordered you?"
"It's Huo Ge, the Minister of Punishment."
The man in black told everything he knew.
Since I already explained it to the master of Langya Pavilion last night, there is no need to be harsh today.
Xue Gang was a little surprised, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
"Huo Ge, Minister of Justice?"
He couldn't help but think of Li Qingxuan's words before.
It's simply incredible that he can read people's hearts so accurately.
A man who can control Her Majesty the Empress is truly terrifying.
