Chapter Fourteen

When Zhao Xu saw blood on Chenpi's chest, he whispered: "Get up, people cannot be resurrected when they die. You have this heart. If she knows that she will be grateful to you."

Chen Pi listened, tears couldn't help but shed tears. She wiped her sleeves hard, stood up and said, "Yes. She will definitely thank the official family!"

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, still thinking about the scenes of Cining Palace just now.

Chu You was careful and saw that Zhao Xu had been frowning and said, "Official family, Wang Deng is dead, is there any trouble?"

Chu You knew that Wang Deng was not the murderer, and he could guess Zhao Xu's intention, but he didn't understand why Zhao Xu's face was still calm when the plan went so smoothly?

Zhao Xu glanced at him and there were no outsiders here. He said, "My grandmother's reaction was too calm just now, and Wang Deng didn't even give him a chance to defend himself. Either grandmother could know what I thought in advance, or... it was that grandmother already knew who was the one who harmed me, at least she had a clear direction."

Chu You was frightened, and then he remembered that Empress Dowager Gao’s reaction was indeed wrong just now. Her expression changed and she said, “Adminton, after all, the Empress is in the palace for decades, and big and small things cannot escape her eyes. It’s not surprising that she really needs to find anything.”

Chenpi calmed down a little and said uneasyly: "Official family, empress, will it..."

Zhao Xu shook his head decisively and said, "Don't guess randomly, it's not grandma."

The reason why Zhao Xu dared to capture Wang Deng and brought Wang Deng to Empress Dowager Gao was actually convinced that it was not Empress Dowager Gao who wanted to harm him.

First of all, this incident happened too roughly and had too many flaws. How could it be so hasty to kill an emperor? He was eventually rescued! This was not something that a superior who had been in charge of the Song Dynasty for many years and had been in charge of the palace for many years.

Secondly, if Zhao Xu really dies, it will be harmful to Empress Dowager Gao without any benefit. Not to mention that an emperor is killed will inevitably be earth-shaking, and the inheritance of the throne is not that simple. Empress Dowager Gao's legitimacy of continuing to rule from behind the curtain will be questioned.

Third, Zhao Xu knew history. In history, Zhao Xu lived longer than Empress Dowager Gao. If Empress Dowager Gao really wanted to harm him, he would definitely not be able to survive.

Chenpi and Chu You looked at each other and couldn't guess why Zhao Xu was so sure.

Zhao Xu continued to think in his heart, and suddenly he wanted to catch something. He narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "From Qingshou Hall to Huangyi Hall, there is such a long road and so many doors, no one has seen me?"

Chen Pi said: "Eunuch Zhou said that no one saw it. When the official family fell into the well, a team of palace maids happened to pass by. He heard the official family shouting and then rescued the official family."

Zhao Xu looked up at the dark outside, and his eyes twitched, saying, "If you can hide me and not attract the attention of others, you must not be alone or two... It seems that you must meet Gao Gongji."

Chu You said: "Why don't the official family check the various sects? If they hide the official family, there will be no small number of people, and they will definitely find clues."

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "If we can find out, Zhou He must have obtained the evidence. Chenpi, stare at Gao Gongji and find some time. I want to see him, and you can't let outsiders know."

Chenpi had just recovered his revenge and was full of gratitude to Zhao Xu. He looked solemn, and said, "Don't worry, the villain will go to find a solution tomorrow."

Zhao Xu nodded. No matter what, he completely eliminated Empress Dowager Gao. He didn't have to be so nervous. He took off his heart and stood up and looked at the two of them and said, "It's okay, go and rest."

Chenpi felt uneasy and raised her hand and said, "Yes, the villain took his leave."

Chu You never thought of participating in such a major event, so he almost entered the Hall of Hell, and raised his hand calmly and said, "Yes, the villain will leave."

Zhao Xu watched the two of them leave, looked up at the bright moonlight, and said to himself: "Gao Gongji must have seen something that day, otherwise he would not have been hiding and dared not come out. Even he hid, who would be the person behind this scene?"

Gao Gongji is the nephew of Empress Dowager Gao. As the actual controller of the Song Dynasty, who else can Gao Gongji be afraid of?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu became more and more eager to have power. This feeling of life and death being completely involuntarily in the hands of others really made him feel uncomfortable!

...

The next morning, the news that "Wang Dengmou was killed by a stick" was quietly circulated in the palace.

This also includes the incident of Zhao Xu going to Cining Palace last night, plus the plot of how Empress Dowager Gao was furious.

Zhao Xu sat in the sidewalk and was eating, while Chenpi stood behind him.

"Officials, Eunuch Zhou has done a very careful job and has no flaws. I believe the murderer will believe it." Chen Pi whispered.

Zhao Xu tore the steamed buns and ate them bit by bit, saying, "We don't want to do anything, just stare at them."

Tangerine peel has a refreshing feeling of being transformed, less tender and anxious as before, and more calm, and said: "Yes. The villain has made everyone lie dormant, and there is no major matter to contact us."

Zhao Xu took a sip of the soup and said, "Chu You and the others don't move either. I want to see Gao Gongji, so hurry up."

The incident happened last night in Zhao Xu's mind. Empress Dowager Gao was too calm. Maybe she had mastered something, but was just waiting for the opportunity.

This case cannot be solved later by Gao, otherwise he, the emperor, will be further marginalized. He needs to solve this case first to show Empress Dowager Gao and the government and the people his sense of existence and ability!

Chen Pi bowed without asking anything else, and said, "Yes, the villain will send news to the outside of the palace and let someone stare at it. When Gao Gongji left the mansion, he sent a message back."

Zhao Xu nodded, he could not go to Gao Gongji's door openly, and he had to hide it from everyone, including Empress Dowager Gao and the murderer!

Chenpi left, Zhao Xu was having a meal, looking outside the door, and suddenly said, "It's deserted, I actually miss that little bastard a little..."

After the meal, Zhao Xu went to the study room to read books as usual. When lunch was almost time, the little bastard came. Zhao Xu was a little curious and went out, called Chu You and asked, "Why didn't the Eleventh Brother come today?"

Chu You thought it was something else, and he relaxed when he heard this and said, "Go back to the official home, Mr. Su and others are going to take the school course today. Your Eleventh Highness probably has no time to play."

Zhao Xu said oh, and said with a smile: "No wonder. No matter how many games we play?"

Chu You didn't expect that the official family made such a big noise last night and could still have fun as usual today, but he didn't dare to refuse and said, "Yes, please show mercy to the official family."

Zhao Xu smiled and walked over.

Chu You divided the team and had two groups in a match.

Zhao Xu did not sweep as much as last time, controlling the rhythm, winning more than losing less, which aroused a lot of enthusiasm among Chu You and others.

In front of Funing Palace, you come and go, and Cuju is so exciting.

Some palace maids and internal culprits came to watch, and even the guards sent by Empress Dowager Gao stood beside him, ready to try.
