Luoyang, Imperial Palace, Liu Xie's study.

"I understand." Liu Zuo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and nodded.

This man was Liu Wu, the commander of the military guards. He was a down-and-out clan member and a die-hard loyalist of Liu Xie.

As mentioned before, Liu Xie created the Zhiwuwei and the Internal Affairs Office in order to lay down a relatively solid ruling structure for future generations of heirs.

In order to achieve a three-way balance with the Sili Xiaowei. The task of the Zhiwuwei is to supervise the officials of the world, similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, but without the right to arrest people.

The Internal Affairs Office cannot supervise the officials. They are only responsible for patrolling the military guards. All the rights to arrest people are in the hands of the Sili Xiaowei, but the Sili Xiaowei has no inspection power.

In this way, the three parties are separated but restrict each other, reducing the problem of official corruption to the greatest extent.

Of course, this is not absolute, but for now, it is enough.

Liu Wu came here today to report to Liu Xie about Yang Feng's meeting with Zhen Yao.

After listening to the report, Liu Xie said calmly: "I understand."

"When Zhiwuwei was founded, many things were just started, but just because it was just started, I hope that some rules will form an iron law." Liu Xie reminded Liu Wu.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand." Liu Wu solemnly nodded to Liu Xie.

"Okay, please leave first. Tomorrow morning, bring Zhen Mi into the palace. I have something to ask her." Liu Xie waved to Liu Wu.

"Here!" Liu Wu saluted Liu Xie and then exited Liu Xie's study.

Early the next morning, Liu Wu led a brigade of military guards to the prison, preparing to take Zhen Mi into the palace.

Zhen Yao was startled by Liu Wu's huge formation. He thought that Liu Xie had gone back on his word and was preparing to attack them.

Liu Wu originally didn't want to explain anything to Zhen Yao, but as a close confidant of Liu Xie, he knew Liu Xie's attitude towards the Zhen family.

】

At the same time, he also understood that Zhen Mi was likely to become one of Liu Xie's harem concubines, that is, his master.

And Zhen Yao is Zhen Mi's biological brother, so there is no need for you to offend Zhen Yao to death, so he opened his mouth and said to Zhen Yao, His Majesty wants to see Zhen Mi.

When he heard that the emperor wanted to see Zhen Mi by name, Zhen Yao did not dare to stop him.

Thus, under the reluctant eyes of the family, Zhen Mi was taken out of the prison and headed towards the palace.

Originally, Liu Wu was going to bring Zhen Mi directly to Liu Xie, but as soon as he entered the palace, he was stopped by Fu Shou and Dong Guiren.

This time it was Liu Wu's turn to have a headache, after all, he was facing Liu Xie's only concubine.

"The minister has met the queen and the noble man." Liu Wu faced Fu Shou and Dong Guiren and could only go up to answer them.

"I've met General Liu." As the queen, Fu Shou naturally was the one to ask questions.

"I dare to ask General Liu, the person in this carriage is Zhen Mi from the Zhen family in Jizhou."

As soon as Fu Shou revealed Zhen Mi's identity, Liu Wu felt dizzy.

Since Fu Shou can tell the truth with one word, it means that Fu Shou must know everything.

But the problem is that now all the officials are under his surveillance. Logically speaking, no minister can have the opportunity to contact Fu Shou. So where did Fu Shou get the news?

"It seems that there are still blind spots in the supervision of officials. After returning this time, we have to strengthen the supervision of officials!" Liu Wu thought to himself.

But this question is not important now. What is important is how should I answer Fu Shou?

If he answered Fu Shou truthfully, Liu Wu felt that Fu Shou might have taken the opportunity to deal with Zhen Yao, so how would he explain it to Liu Xie?

If you don't tell the truth, well, if you don't tell the truth, it doesn't seem to be justified.

After all, Fu Shou blocking him at the palace gate means that Fu Shou has known about it for a long time. What's the use of denying it now?

Do you really think Fu Shou is a fool? I guess if you really do this, your head might be hung at the city gate tomorrow.

Liu Wu didn't know how to answer. The Zhen Mi Road in the carriage was shaking like chaff. She never thought that Fu Shou would block her before she even entered the palace gate.

For some reason, Zhen Mi suddenly felt like she was being caught red-handed by her first wife as a mistress.

Fu Shou seemed to see Liu Wu's dilemma. She smiled slightly and said to Liu Wu: "General Liu may have misunderstood me."

"I heard that the girl from the Zhen family has been in prison these days, and the environment there is not good. Your Majesty wants to see the girl from the Zhen family, but you don't want to see the girl from the Zhen family looking disgraced."

"So, I and Sister Dong are here to take the Zhen family girl to wash up and change into clean clothes, and then the general will take her to see His Majesty." Fu Shou explained the purpose of his visit.

When Liu Wu heard Fu Shou's words, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't feel that Fu Shou was telling lies again, after all, the other party had no reason, and there were so many people around him watching.

As long as Fu Shou wasn't stupid, she wouldn't do anything stupid in front of so many people.

However, if Fu Shou was allowed to take Zhen Mi away, it would be difficult for him to explain to Liu Xie.

"Don't worry, General Liu. I will tell His Majesty personally about this matter." Fu Shou knew what Liu Wu was worried about.

"In this case, it all depends on the Queen's decision. It just needs to be done quickly. It is not a good thing to make Your Majesty wait too long." Liu Wu finally compromised.

"Don't worry, General Liu, I know." Fu Shou nodded, and then said to the maid behind him: "Go and help the Zhen family girl to my carriage."

"Here!" The four maids heard Fu Shou's words and bowed to Fu Shou before walking to the carriage behind Liu Wu.

Liu Wu did not stop him because he knew that he could not stop him. Similarly, Zhen Mi also stuck her head out of the carriage because she also knew that she could not escape.

She only hoped that Queen Fushou really just took her to wash up, or even if Fushou wanted to target him, he would only target her alone and not involve her family.

When Zhen Mi came out of the carriage, Fu Shou and Dong Guiren looked at each other, and they both saw satisfaction in the other's eyes.

With the help of the maid, Zhen Mi boarded the carriage that had been prepared. Fu Shou also pulled Dong Guiren onto the carriage.

Seeing Fu Shou and Dong Guiren getting into the car, the chamberlain serving Fu Shou shouted, "The Queen is driving to Fengyi Palace!"

Liu Wu had no choice. Fengyi Palace was where the harem was, and foreign ministers like them were not allowed to enter.

So Liu Wu could only wait where he was for Zhen Mi to come back.

In the carriage at this time, both Fu Shou and Dong Guiren were looking at Zhen Mi carefully.

"She is indeed a beauty. Even though she has not been groomed, I still feel pity for her." Fu Shou nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, yes, this girl from the Zhen family is as beautiful as her sister!" Dong Guiren on the side also nodded.

When Fu Shou heard Dong Guiren's words, he turned to face her, smiled, and then said: "I don't dare to talk nonsense, but the Zhen family girl is really not attractive."
