After a long journey and running through the starry night, Han Guze finally returned to the capital.

Before he could return to his house and change into clean clothes, he was taken to the palace by the old emperor's men.

Although he was exhausted both physically and mentally, he had no choice but to go to meet the emperor with his body covered in dust and exhaustion.

As soon as he entered the hall, the old emperor stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"I would like to report to my father that this trip has fulfilled my mission and has strangled all the traitors!" Although Han Guze was exhausted, he was still in high spirits when he met the old emperor!

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The old emperor looked at the ministers at his feet, his face full of pride, as if he was trying his best to show off his son.

He is decisive, upright, and has the world in mind. He is not as cunning and cunning as Han Ruojun, who ruins the family tradition.

Even this time, Han Guze reported the Yongtong Chamber of Commerce's rebellion and led his troops to kill it.

The old emperor was very happy. After praising him, he chatted with him about his family affairs for a long time. After rewarding him with many gold and silver treasures, he was willing to let Han Guze leave.

At this time, Han Guze was really favored by the old emperor.

As soon as Han Guze walked out of the palace, he saw people around Empress Wu waiting outside.

When the servant saw Han Guze, he quickly stepped forward. He bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, Empress Wu, please come over."

"Okay, I got it, I'll go there right now!" I'm really happy, my father loves me and my mother cares about me!

They had just come back, and both of them were so eager to see them!

This operation was a great victory! Not only did they kill all the forces in the Yongtong Chamber of Commerce, but they also brought back Jiang Wanyin's cousin Shen Youning.

After hearing this, the queen mother will definitely be very satisfied and will definitely praise herself! Thinking of this, Han Guze no longer feels tired, a smile appears at the corner of his mouth, and the fatigue on his face is wiped away.

.

Until now, Han Guze couldn't believe that things would go so smoothly this time. He easily cut off Han Ruojun's retreat and wiped out all his chances of making a comeback!

Unknowingly, they arrived at Empress Wu's residence. Han Guze came to his senses and shouted inside: "Queen Mother! My son is back!"

There was no sound from inside, and Empress Wu came out to greet him. Han Guze frowned slightly, and the more he walked in, the more strange he felt. How could the palace that used to be bustling with activity be so deserted today, with not even a single servant in it?

nothing!

Han Guze couldn't help but shudder and quickened his pace slightly.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Empress Wu sitting at the table with her back to him, one arm resting on the table, and a chill surrounding her body. "Empress, what's going on today? Why is there no one outside?

?”

Han Guze asked as he walked to sit next to Empress Wu.

"Are you still embarrassed to sit here?" Empress Wu's red lips parted slightly, and the chill in her words was overwhelming.

Hearing this, Gu Ze stood up in fright, feeling uncomfortable all over. What's wrong with the Queen Mother?

"Niezi, are you still embarrassed to come to see me?" Empress Wu slammed the table with anger on her face.

Han Guze trembled with fright, his heart suddenly rose to his throat. He was stunned on the spot, looking at Empress Wu's back with a dull expression, feeling at a loss.

Just now, I was waiting with great anticipation for Empress Wu's praise, but now I am scared out of my mind.

"Mother, mother, queen mother, you, what's wrong with you?" Han Guze's words trembled slightly and he cried a little.

Although Han Guze was puzzled, he did hide something from Empress Wu. Zhang Morou's matter was buried in his heart like a timer. Although it was done flawlessly, he still couldn't worry about it.

.

And he had a hunch that the queen mother might already know about this!

"You have the nerve to ask me what's wrong? Don't you know what you are doing? You really have strong wings, now that you have learned to lie to your mother!" Empress Wu turned her head and glared at Guze Han, full of momentum.

Han Guze gritted his teeth and still had some illusions. "Mother, why did I lie to you?"

Empress Wu narrowed her eyes and sneered. "Haha, I see you really don't shed tears until you see the coffin! Tell me where you hid that bitch Zhang Morou? How did you promise me in the first place? But you

What are you doing now? You kept saying that you would no longer see her and sent her to an extremely remote place, but why did she appear in the capital?"

"Appear? Mother, I, I..." How is that possible?

"What are you doing? Do you know that you are the prince now! Prince! How many times do you want me to tell you this truth? Who is Zhang Morou? She is the emperor's concubine! She is also your mother-in-law,

How could you do such a stupid thing? Really, really, oh!" As he said that, he picked up a teacup and threw it at Gu Ze Han.

"Mother, it's not like this! Listen to me, Zhang Morou and I truly love each other..." Han Guze didn't know what to do at this time, so he just explained subconsciously.

"Really love each other? Are you really a fool? In the royal family, what can love bring to you? Can it give you the throne? Can it give you real power? Sober up!" Empress Wu became more and more emotional as she spoke, and her chest moved violently.

Heaving, he covered his chest with trembling hands.

"Queen Mother, I..." Han Guze hesitated. It was true that he liked Zhang Morou, and it was true that he was willing to sacrifice for her. Although the Queen Mother once wanted to execute Zhang Morou in secret, he really didn't dare.

Resist.

"Let's go and have a good rest for a few days. If you still recognize me as your mother, don't interfere in this matter!" Empress Wu took a deep breath and closed her eyes, pointing to the door to signal Han Guze to leave.

Han Guze also knew that since the matter had reached this stage, nothing he could say or do now would be of any use.

"Well, I'll take my leave now."

Empress Wu ignored him.

Han Guze walked out of the courtyard, and after calming down a little, doubts arose in his heart again. Who revealed this matter? Apart from himself, the only person who knew about this matter was Zhao Meng, and he was absolutely

The only one who believes in Zhao Meng 100% is herself, but why...

Shortly after Han Guze left, a figure quickly flashed across Empress Wu's yard.

"It's so late, Madam, what's the matter with calling me here?" The person who came here has a Taoist spirit and is serious about the old man beside Gu Ze.
