C435 On the back of your head

"Yes sir!" Ci Rui hurriedly helped the empress dowager change her clothes. She was the empress dowager, this was a convenient place to do business in the imperial palace. It was probably also the reason why the National Lord Wei found her.

When the empress dowager appeared at the Sky Prison, she didn't have very tight security at this time.

"We pay our respects to Her Majesty!" There had been no one locked up in the Celestial Prison recently, so the soldiers guarding the palace felt guilty at the empress dowager's sudden arrival. Could something have happened?

Her Majesty merely glanced at everyone and left without saying anything else.

The soldiers only felt frightened and flustered by the Empress Dowager's actions, but they did not do anything else.

"Empress Dowager …" Ci Rui wanted to say something, but the empress dowager reached out a hand to stop him.

Then, the empress dowager pulled Ci Rui and hid herself. Soon after, the empress dowager saw a figure coming out from that place.

"Follow me!" Although the empress dowager didn't know who that person was, she felt a sense of familiarity. It was similar to the figure she once saw calling her master without the slightest respect.

The empress dowager said to Ci Rui at her side, "Go back first!" The empress dowager didn't want Ci Rui to know about this matter, and that there were too many people, this person's skills were not simple either. She was actually worried that Ci Rui would be discovered, although she might be fine, Ci Rui was not.

Seeing that the empress dowager was serious, Ci Rui cupped her fists and left.

Her Majesty was afraid of being discovered, so she was very careful. She was afraid of being discovered, so she followed from a distance.

How did he get into the Eunuch Li's room? The empress dowager watched as that person entered the Eunuch Li's residence from afar, and she had a lot of questions.

Soon after, the person who came out was no other than the Eunuch Li.

"Your servant greets the empress dowager!" Seeing that it was about to be the morning assembly time, the Eunuch Li was quite anxious. He didn't expect to meet the empress dowager halfway, and from the looks of it, the empress dowager wasn't going to let him go.

Eunuch Li muttered in his heart. Did the empress dowager discover something? That was the reason why he was so stubborn in blocking his from leaving.

The empress dowager looked at Eunuch Li carefully, then raised her eyebrows and said, "You can get up first!" The empress dowager only said that she wanted the Eunuch Li to stand up first, but there were other things she wanted to say.

The empress dowager looked around the Eunuch Li without saying a word. However, her gaze became increasingly strange!

"Ah Chen!" When the empress dowager called out, New Year was the name of the person who had always called her master. She could clearly feel the body of the Eunuch Li tremble when he heard this name, although it was hidden very well, but the empress dowager could already confirm whether it was a woman's intuition or those minute movements.

The Eunuch Li was anxious at both ends. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, this servant thinks you're mistaken. This servant is the Eunuch Li, and it's time to leave immediately. May the empress dowager let me go!" Eunuch Li had a feeling that Tian Tian shouldn't have shouted, but since when did this woman learn to act behind the scenes?

"You go first! serve the emperor well later, and come find the I! " The Empress Dowager said without a care, then turned and strode away. She really didn't know if it was a good or bad thing that she had unexpectedly received such news! The empress dowager wasn't a greedy person. She only cared about one emperor at the moment, and hatred.

Eunuch Li frowned, he looked at the empress dowager's back, and wondered if the empress dowager had discovered something. Right now, he did not care about too much, he could not let Shangguan Minghao discover his identity for the time being.

When Zhuo Lei came out of the secret room, he looked at the messy palace. Although it was quite eye-catching for him to chase and rush, even though it gave him a chance to escape, he was actually quite worried for the Divine Beasts. Even though he knew that the Divine Beasts was very powerful, he had never really seen it before.

When Zhuo Lei returned to the Zhuo Mansion, the atmosphere was normal. Everyone was still asleep.

"White Wings? "White Wings …" Zhuo Lei wanted to see if the Divine Beasts had returned, but he was afraid of waking everyone up, so he called out softly.

But luckily, the Divine Beasts wasn't just quick, their hearing was also top-notch.

"Aooo …" When the Divine Beasts heard that Zhuo Lei had returned, it was very happy as well. This kind of feeling felt like it was reuniting with a brother who was through thick and thin.

When Zhuo Lei saw the Divine Beasts return to his own room, the worry in his heart was finally lifted. He remembered that it was because he had promised his mother to look for someone that he was accidentally discovered by the National Lord Wei, hence he felt a little guilty. Luckily, everyone should be fine, so he felt a little more at ease.

However, it seemed that Zhuo Lei's happiness came a little too early. Because the Divine Beasts came back before Zhuo Lei, and because Shangguan Minghao was a little tired from chasing after it, the Divine Beasts fell asleep not long after, lying on Zhuo Lei's feet. As for Zhuo Lei, he was constantly worried, and did not notice the people surrounding Zhuo Mansion at all.

When Zhuo Lei and the Divine Beasts were playing, and when he was happy, those people had to quickly report to Shangguan Minghao.

"Master, this Zhuo Lei is indeed an old friend of the Divine Beasts, and from the looks of it, he seems to be very familiar!" The man could not think of a way to describe the subtle relationship between the Divine Beasts and Zhuo Lei, so he could only describe it like this.

Shangguan Minghao smiled and said, "Get ready, we are going to the Zhuo Mansion!" Shangguan Minghao thought that this opportunity was really too good. He really overestimated himself to see how the other party would deal with the people on his side.

"Yes sir!" Hearing Shangguan Minghao's instructions and adding on the meaning behind his words, the few of them were guessing what Shangguan Minghao really wanted to do. Would they be able to see a good show in a while?

Shangguan Minghao only decided to do it after hearing her subordinate's description of the Divine Beasts and Zhuo Lei's return to his residence. However, right now, Fei Yan was still doing the analysis on the last book, so she never expected for such a thing to happen.

"Men, surround this Zhuo Mansion! Don't even let a fly get away!" When Shangguan Minghao arrived at the Zhuo Mansion, the first order he gave was actually to have people surround the Zhuo Mansion.

"Brother, your brother is in trouble!" Zhuo Wei entered Zhuo Lei's study room in a fluster. At this moment, Zhuo Lei was still discussing with Han duo what to do next when he saw the smart Zhuo Wei, who interrupted their conversation.

"You can leave first!" Zhuo Lei looked at Zhuo Wei's expression and ordered Han beside him.

Zhuo Wei hurried over, "Big brother, it's bad, the emperor has surrounded Zhuo Mansion!" Zhuo Wei was both worried and suspicious. The Emperor had always held a big opinion of the existence of the Zhuo Mansion, but to publicly surround the Zhuo Mansion like this right now seemed too strange.

"Go out first and invite the emperor into the Zhuo Mansion. I'll come shortly!" Zhuo Lei was also very surprised in his heart, but he knew that he had to show the demeanor of a big brother, otherwise this Zhuo Mansion would become a mess.

Seeing Zhuo Lei's calm expression, Zhuo Wei finally relaxed a bit and quickly walked towards the great hall.

"We pay our respects to the Emperor!" Everyone was waiting for Shangguan Minghao in the hall.

However, Shangguan Minghao's face did not look good, he looked at everyone coldly, his eyes carried a sharp blade, as though he could execute them anytime.

When they saw Shangguan Minghao's expression, everyone lowered their heads, looking uneasy.

Shangguan Minghao's cold voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Do you know why we surrounded your Zhuo Mansion today?" Shangguan Minghao's eyes swept one by one, and directly fell on Zhuo Jun's face. However, he was confused in his heart. Where did this Zhuo Lei go? He actually had quite a bit of face, why haven't you come out to meet him yet?

Zhuo Jun took a step forward and knelt in front of Shangguan Minghao, "Your Majesty, please enlighten me!" Regarding Shangguan Minghao's words, it was also everyone's question, everything happened too suddenly.

Shangguan Minghao looked at Zhuo Jun, and snorted: "Be clear, then I will save you all and state, that is the death penalty for stealing the national treasure!" Shangguan Minghao's voice was like a blade that cut into everyone's ears.

"Your majesty, this subject doesn't understand. Our Zhuo Family has been loyal for generations, how could it be a secret treasure that you speak of? Furthermore, this humble subject has never seen the national treasure that the Emperor spoke of before!" In Zhuo Jun's opinion, this Shangguan Minghao was obviously framing him on purpose.

Shangguan Minghao's face changed, "So that means we have wronged you guys, then we will let your big brother, the real master of the Zhuo Mansion, Zhuo Lei, come out to confront us, and send people to search for us, we have sent people out to personally see the Divine Beasts, and the national treasure of the underworld has never been seen again after entering your residence!" Shangguan Minghao intentionally glared at him angrily.

Zhuo Jun was startled, he had also just called someone to call her big brother, why had he not come out yet, could it really be as the emperor had said? Zhuo Jun did not dare imagine how he could escape if he were to put the Zhuo Mansion in a predicament.

"What, do you really want to see this Zhuo Lei? He doesn't give me enough face!" Shangguan Minghao was obviously angry, his eyes were filled with ice, looking at the cold atmosphere outside the door.

"Your majesty, this commoner, Zhuo Lei, pays his respect to your majesty!" Zhuo Lei still appeared in front of Shangguan Minghao in the end. Even though it was a bit late, he had to at least arrange everything properly.

Shangguan Minghao walked in front of the kneeling Zhuo Lei and roared loudly, "You still have this emperor in your eyes? "What a joke, I've come, and I'm actually hiding from you. Why did you do something so outrageous? Don't think that I don't know, what the hell do you think I'm doing here!?" Shangguan Minghao didn't care what Zhuo Lei wanted to say. He believed that with his abilities, the others wouldn't be able to do anything.

Zhuo Lei calmly took out a gold medal from his chest pocket and presented it to the Eunuch Li, "Please forgive me Your Majesty, but this subject has already shown the the gold medal, didn't I say last time that this Zhuo Mansion had a gold medal that allowed him to live?!" Zhuo Lei replied modestly. His eyes and Shangguan Minghao's gaze seemed calm and collected.

Shangguan Minghao was extremely furious in his heart, but he was unable to point out Zhuo Lei's inadequacy, but he did not forget his purpose for coming today, "Don't be delusional enough to think that you can use these words to divert our attention. Let me tell you, Zhuo Lei, if it weren't for your secret treasure, we would not have come to capture you like this. Shangguan Minghao also found his aura of power, adding his own aura of nobility, the atmosphere of the entire battlefield immediately dropped to the lowest.

Zhuo Lei pretended to be ignorant, "Please describe me, Your Majesty. This subject naturally does not know what the Divine Beasts looks like!" Zhuo Lei asked Shangguan Minghao in shock, his expression did not change in the slightest.

Towards Zhuo Lei's expression of not admitting it at all, Shangguan Minghao sneered, "Eunuch Li, describe it to them!"

Eunuch Li never thought that Shangguan Minghao would actually order him to stay here, but since he was, he might as well do as he was told.
