The next day, in the palace

"Do you know what is said about you outside? You are an undefeated general. If you lose the battle, it is better than surrendering. Who gave you the power? You can give up the city at your request. You think this is playing house. Have you ever put your power behind it?

Does the king take it seriously?" King Li's anger could be heard not only by the people in the room, but also by the entire palace.

King Li's series of roars may have made the entire palace tremble.

"Did I take you seriously?" Qingfeng asked back. He asked and answered the question again, and replied rationally: "That's not true!" Wang Li was so angry that he choked on his tea.

"Why not give them a little favor first and let them taste some sweetness?" Qingfeng said lightly, not caring about King Li's cough at all.

"Six cities, you call this a small favor? The enemy has already arrived at your doorstep. This sweetness of yours is really big." King Li slammed the table angrily, causing Mo Qi to lower his head and not dare to breathe.

.

"You guys go out first, I have something to do with the prince alone." Qingfeng still looked indifferent, patted Mo Qi's shoulder and smiled slightly.

This weird atmosphere and Qingfeng suddenly came over to pat her, really frightened Mo Qi into silence. When he saw it was Qingfeng, he nodded vigorously and prepared to leave.

"No one is allowed to move! Just stand here." Seeing that Qingfeng not only did not feel guilty, but also maintained a calm demeanor, King Li naturally became more angry and spoke more sternly.

Mo Qi's front foot had just stepped forward before it touched the ground. Hearing King Li's words, he quickly and quietly pulled it back. He didn't dare to look at King Li's expression, and was too embarrassed to look at Qingfeng again. He lowered his head and glanced up with the corners of his eyes.

Qian Ling and Qian Po didn't seem to be scared, at least they were breathing normally. Mo Qi lowered his head again like a thief and moved toward Qian Ling with small steps, as if Qian Ling was there.

This backer is more reassuring.

"Why are you sneaking around?" Wang Li looked at Mo Qi, who was still angry, and yelled at her again when he saw Mo Qi's inexplicable behavior.

"I..." Mo Qi wasn't sure whether he was talking about himself, and looked at King Li out of the corner of his eye, and found that King Li was looking at her. He subconsciously spoke, but he couldn't find the words after that.

Qingfeng smiled softly, shook his head gently, indicating that she should ignore it, and glanced at King Li again. Mo Qi felt relieved after hearing Qingfeng's words. He breathed a sigh of relief and found that Qianpo was actually laughing at her. That's right! It was at

Ridicule! Mo Qi glared at Qianpo, who then straightened up.

"You two, get out!" Mo Li was already angry. It didn't matter if a general was disobedient, but these servants had so many little tricks, and he was so angry with his feelings. No one took it seriously?

"Han Yuan's intention to attack Yangcheng at this time is obvious." Qingfeng changed the subject and walked back and forth in front of King Li, making King Li upset. It was unclear whether Qingfeng did it intentionally or not.

"What you mean is that Han Yuan's actions at this time are just to attack the east and west, and he has no intention of actually starting a war. He is doing it there not only to let me know that the Korean and Zhao armies have formed an alliance, but also to let Zhao Yan know that he will attack the border town.

He also contributed to this matter."

"Zhao Yan's attack on the border town has been planned for a long time, and Han Ming has been in the palace some time ago. How did they communicate? And they did so under the prince's nose?" Qingfeng said unhurriedly, "As soon as Han Ming and Yanzhi left the palace, Zhao Yan

Yan began to attack the border city, and Han Yuan was also preparing to attack Yang City. Since you sent people to follow Hades, have you ever seen them contact other people? "

Qingfeng finally stopped walking back and forth and sat on the other side of the table:

"Why did Yinling leave the palace during this period? How did she leave?"

"Yin Ling has had problems for a long time but has never been able to find a handle. Now I can't even get to the bottom of her." Wang Li was a little dissatisfied and glanced at Qian Ling. Mo Qi also looked at Qian Ling, and Qian Ling seemed to

It was as if nothing had happened, and there was no expression at all.

"It's not difficult to know the identity of Yin Ling. Once you find your master, it will be clear to you." Qingfeng looked at Qian Po and Qian Ling.

"Lingyi quilt, Qianyin attacks people?" Qianpo said with an uncertain tone, Qingfeng's nod made Qianpo believe his words even more.

Mo Qi watched their conversation with some confusion, but didn't ask any more questions.

"I'm just worried. You and I have never seen her strength. I'm afraid she will cause trouble in the future." Qingfeng looked worried: "Also, Qian Yu was found in the Imperial City (Pingcheng). Three days later, Qian Yu

It’s not impossible that Po found traces of Qian Yu in the border town again. Qian Yu must have other plans in the border town, but if the people in the imperial city are not Han Ming’s people, then who is stopping us?”

"Humph, it turns out that so many people are staring at me." King Li grinned.

"You just know, do you think the general next to you is good?" Qingfeng said again, causing King Li who was drinking tea to choke again.

Because he had been injured before, Mo Qi was also worried about King Li. He hurried over and patted King Li on the back to help him. King Li took a look and reluctantly said: "Finally there is a sensible person."

"By the way, how are you doing in the Imperial City (Pingcheng)?" Qingfeng changed the subject again.

Qian Ling told the whole story, but when he heard that Mo Qi had been unconscious for several days, he showed a look of worry, which made Mo Qi feel a little happy, which could not help but show on his face. Mo Qi said, "No problem, no problem."

." But I feel happy in my heart.

Her expression caught Li Li's eye, and he cursed with disdain: "You look like a loser, why don't you just say hello? As for me, I'm still staying by your side all day long?"

"What did the prince say?" Mo Qi couldn't hear clearly and could only hear King Li muttering something in a low voice.

"Nothing." King Li drank the tea, but felt that the tea was getting more and more tasteless.

While talking, the guards outside handed in two letters, both from Du Heng. One letter said that not only Zhao Kangren had been found, but also an old nanny who was personally serving the Queen Mother Zhao; the other one was from Wang Tuo.

Du Heng also found the palace manager he was looking for. It happened that they were both in the imperial city and had never left.

For convenience, only Mo Li and Qingfeng disguised themselves and rushed to the imperial city (Pingcheng). They arrived at the old grandma's residence first. Du Heng was already waiting there. Unexpectedly, Zhao Kang was also at the old grandma's place.

It turned out that Zhao Kang had planned to run away in the middle of the night, so he went to his mother's tomb by himself first and then took a look. Unexpectedly, he saw someone there in the middle of the night, and Zhao Kang was not scared to death.

After seeing the other party, she couldn't help crying with joy, and the old nanny also remembered her old friendship. After learning the news about the Queen Mother Zhao, she quietly went to take a look. Unexpectedly, she met the master. As soon as Zhao Kang told him, the old nanny took him away to the most dangerous place.

Convenience is the safest place, so I took Zhao Kang to his residence.

When the old nanny learned that King Li was coming, she quickly knelt down, looking frightened. Li Mo Li repeatedly asked what happened when Mo Jiang was called into the palace, and whether it was true that he had an affair with Empress Dowager Zhao as they said.

meeting.

At first, the old mama refused to talk about life or death.

He was impatient and kicked him directly. The old grandma, who was already weak, was so frightened by this toss that she knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.

Only then did he talk about what happened that night with sincerity and fear.

It turned out that after Mo Jiang was summoned to the palace that night, the old mother-in-law didn't know how she arrived in the Queen Mother's bedroom. However, after arriving, the Queen Mother rejected everyone, including her. What happened after that was as everyone knows, General Mo Jiang and the Queen Mother had a private meeting.

The matter was exposed. I learned from the old nanny that this kind of thing happened between the two of them not once or twice. I didn’t expect that it would be exposed.

"Nonsense!" King Li kicked him hard again.

"Even if I have the courage, I don't dare to say nonsense." The old lady was in tears, and she knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.

"Laogou Zhao summoned him that night, why did he come to the inner courtyard?" King Li kicked him again.

"I don't know," the old lady shouted, kneeling on the ground and not daring to raise her head.

"Think about it again, what did they say at that time?" King Li was obviously dissatisfied with the answer.

"At that time, the Queen Mother said, why are you here? Then she asked us to retreat. I really don't know what she said specifically." The old nanny was frightened by King Li's aura.

"Why are you here?" King Li thought about her words, "You mean the Queen Mother didn't know Mo Jiang was there, right?"

"This..." The old woman was confused when she was asked, "This... how do you know this?" The old woman couldn't answer for a while.

King Li kicked him again. Zhao Kang couldn't stand it anymore, so he went over to support the old grandma and said, "Brother Li, please don't embarrass grandma."

Li Li looked at Zhao Kang and wanted to get angry, but when he thought of what he had said before and looked at Zhao Kang again, he felt more and more similarities between Zhao Kang and Mo Jiang, so he couldn't get angry, and he was right about this.

King Li asked Du Heng to send someone to watch them, and he and Qingfeng rushed to the manager's place. Du Heng had already sent people to guard them there. The manager was also trembling with fear. Li Li took out the burned paper and showed it to the manager.

, the manager said casually: "It was done by my slave's hand, and I remember it."

"Oh? What do you remember?" King Li asked slowly.

"This kind of cloth was originally a tribute item. Because it was rare, the emperor at that time only rewarded General Mo and Ji Dan, and then kept some for himself. The ones he kept were never used, and they must still be there.

Leave it alone."

"How come the boss remembers the old events so clearly?" Qingfeng glanced at King Li and then at the manager, always feeling that something was fishy.

"The old slave has been in charge for many years. He remembers everything big and small, especially the two generals who are extremely favored. The emperor's rewards are rare things, so of course he remembers them very clearly."

"According to the boss, only the two generals and the late emperor have this kind of cloth, and no one else can have it?"

"That's natural. General Ji Dan, do you have any other questions?" The officer answered cautiously, fearing that something might go wrong and end up badly.

But before the questioning was over, news came from outside that King Li had just left the old grandmother's house, and found someone dead inside the house.

"Where is Zhao Kang?" King Li was as shocked as Qingfeng.

"No one else was found." the guard replied.
