"Prince, I'll ask someone to go and find out the news again."

As Zhao Qi thought about it, his confidant hurriedly said.

"No need," Zhao Qi stood up, "It takes a lot of effort to go back and forth, and it will miss the opportunity."

Zhao Qi said as he looked around: "Send me a message directly to the capital, and we are ready to raise an army too!"

The confidant was stunned: "The troops in Lintao have not arrived yet, so I just need to wait for two more days... Maybe there will be no clues in the capital in the past two days..."

Zhao Qi looked at his confidant: "You can have a plan, but you can't be lucky. When they handle the internal affairs well and arrange people to protect the capital, what can we do if we have a few thousand more people?

If the result I had not achieved the expected results, then I would regard the present as the best opportunity. The opportunity should not be lost and never come again." This was what Mr. Yang taught him. Mr. Yang was a talented man. Unfortunately, he was contrary to his ideas later. He wanted to keep Mr. Yang in Daning for a lifetime. Unfortunately, Mr. Yang was a stubborn person and insisted on proving that he was wrong. People who do great things should not be as kind as women, so he asked someone to send Mr. Yang a journey.

Zhao Qi looked at his confidant going to fix the people, and he also pulled out the long sword from his waist.

In the sun, the sword body was filled with a chill.

Zhao Qi said: "Take the Xingzhou Zhongtun Guard first." I believe that Huang Chang and others in Beijing can also act according to the opportunity.

...

In Kunning Palace.

Shen Lan heard the sound of footsteps outside, and then the door was opened and someone walked in.

Shen Lan raised her head and looked hard, trying to identify who the person was. The Empress was walking in front of her, and there was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old beside the Empress.

The girl... seemed to be Miss Gu who often entered the palace with Mo Yangming. When the empress was taking poison, the girl also followed the empress dowager to Yongchun Palace.

After a while, Queen Wei stood in front of Shen Lan.

Empress Wei said: "Before Concubine De enters the palace, have you served by Concubine De?"

Shen Lan nodded: "I have been following Concubine De since I was a child."

Queen Wei continued: "Then you should know the female gentleman who teaches Concubine De Deqinle."

Shen Lan didn't know why the Empress asked about this, but she made up her mind not to tell the secret of Concubine De, but this female husband should not be important.

Shen Lan nodded.

Queen Wei continued, "Where did that female gentleman go?"

Shen Lan said: "That gentleman is in poor health and is going home after joining his parents."

"No," Queen Wei's voice suddenly rose, "Someone saw the female gentleman in the Li family in Pyongyang."

Shen Lan's whole heart seemed to be raised, how could anyone know about this? She was hit by the vital point unexpectedly, making Shen Lan unable to recover for a long time.

Queen Wei said coldly: "Did no one know about this when you killed Mr. Zhou and killed the eldest wife of the Zhou family?"

Queen Wei said as she looked at Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu reported: "Mr. Zhou met that female gentleman in Li, Pyongyang. The female gentleman told Cao's family to teach Empress Defei clearly. She asked Mr. Zhou to bring her back to the capital. She wanted to report the inside story to the court and expose the King Liang and Concubine Defei.

Unexpectedly, the news leaked in advance and the female husband was silenced.

After returning to Beijing, Mr. Zhou secretly investigated the matter and found the Cao family and Concubine De, who wanted to prove the matter, but was killed by Concubine De in the palace.

The eldest wife of the Zhou family heard something about the female husband from Mr. Zhou, and suspected that Mr. Zhou's death had other secrets. The Cao family knew the intention of the eldest wife of the Zhou family and ordered Bao Er to sneak into the Zhou family and kill the eldest wife of the Zhou family to eliminate the roots.

You thought that if you killed Mr. Zhou and his wife, no one would know the inside story anymore, but you didn’t know that Mrs. Zhou told Zhou Zejing about the whole story. On the night Mrs. Zhou Zejing passed away, Zhou Zejing saw Bao Er in the Zhou family again.

Zhou Zejing knew that this matter must be related to the Cao family. Under the sway of interests, Zhou Zejing did not make any statement. He just wanted to wait and see the changes and use this handle to exchange for greater benefits in the future.

This is the confession of Zhou Zejing and others.”

Gu Mingzhu said as she handed the booklet in her hand to Queen Wei, saying this in front of Shen Lan, just to let Chen Lan know that the evidence was conclusive, Concubine De could not deny it.

Chen Lan's face changed completely.

Empress Wei took two steps forward: "Concubine De is from the Li family in Pyongyang."

Chen Lan was about to shake her head, but Queen Wei did not give her any chance to breathe: "It's not just Li, but Concubine De also colluded with King Liang to raise women and send them to the major residences in the capital to convey messages to them.

Now that King Liang is attacking the capital, does Concubine De also have to cooperate with the inside and outside? Do you know that this is a serious crime of treason?"

Chen Lan's mind was buzzing, and she couldn't say anything except shaking her head.

Everything was over, Chen Lan stared at the booklet with his eyes tightly. These must be true. If it were not proved that the Empress could not have known what happened back then clearly, and could even say Bao Er.

Chen Lan squeezed out a voice from his throat after a while: "Our Empress did not collude with King Liang."

"No?" Queen Wei looked calm, her eyes were not fluctuating, "Who is Tang's person? Is the one who drives the scholar Sile in the house really the eldest princess Yongkang?"

Chen Lan's lips trembled and she was completely stunned.

Queen Wei continued: "Your father's clan is four, your mother's clan is three, and all the relatives who marry the Shen family, how many people are there in size? One hundred or two hundred? I'm afraid you haven't calculated it yourself, and there are 342 people, the older one is seventy-five years old, and the youngest is less than two months old.

Such a heinous crime, could these people be killed?"

Chen Lan looked at Queen Wei's sharp eyes, and wanted to move her eyes away but she was frozen there.

"Maybe killed?" Queen Wei said again.

Tears flowed out from Chen Lan's eyes, she shook her head again, and her relatives passed through her mind, no... they can't die, they can't die.

Queen Wei continued: "You must think that Mr. Zhou asked Concubine De about the female husband who wanted to threaten Concubine De."

Empress Wei breathed a long sigh and felt very sorry for Zhou Zecheng: "What Zhou Zecheng really wanted to investigate was not Concubine De, but King Liang.

The female gentleman was originally from King Liang, and staying with Concubine De was to make Concubine De win the emperor's favor.

After the female lady left, Tang and others stayed in the Cao family to help you raise those women. In fact, those women were not serving the Cao family, but chess pieces placed by King Liang. Your Concubine De was at the mercy of people from beginning to end.

What Concubine De has done over the years is the result that King Liang wants, and it is still the case now."

Chen Lan was still shaking her head.

Queen Wei said lightly: "I have evidence in my hand. I didn't have to talk to you and reported this to the emperor directly, but I didn't do this. Do you know why?

Because I knew that Concubine De and the Cao family could not clear the situation today, so there must be people from King Liang who secretly helped her.

And this person may be the key to the Liang King Rebellion.

This palace gives you a chance to help me find that person. By then, more than 300 people in your Shen family can survive, and countless innocent people can survive. All the mistakes you make can be cleared."
