C374 deception

Zhao Deji turned around and saw that she was dressed carefully. Although he was middle-aged, his eyebrows were still filled with an enchanting charm, and also carried a hint of viciousness and lechery. This was one of the reasons why he had this "sex appeal" towards this woman. He laughed: "Golden Army has already withdrawn her troops from Chuan Shan, Qin Gui has made a great contribution this time."

The reason why Golden Army had withdrawn her troops, was entirely because of the defeat of Wu Jie's son, Wu Lin. However, Jin Wushu had made a statement to the public.

"Qin Gui has sworn his loyalty to the Shangguan Family."

Zhao Deji smiled and said, "We have been the Son of Heaven for all these years, and most of our time has been spent fleeing in fear. "Now that the peace talks have finally concluded, I hope that before New Year's Eve, we can have a peaceful and happy New Year …"

Wang Junhua observed his words and expression and thought about it carefully. He understood that the Shangguan Family was planning to write down Song Jin and the Alliance quickly before New Year's Eve. But did his "happiness" not include killing Yue Pengju before New Year's Eve? She carelessly said: "I heard that in regards to the Jinguo, Fourth Prince's request is to only kill Yue Pengju and we can sign a peace treaty."

Zhao Deji treated her as an informant planted by his side, but at the moment, he didn't know that Qin Gui already had the "Lifelong Prime Minister" protective talisman. He was feeling very pleased with himself about how he managed to depose Qin Gui after a year and a half of peace talks, so he naturally did not tell Wang Junhua anything, and said: "Yue Pengju will be in the capital city in two to three days. "When he returns, it's naturally the tiger in the cage …"

After Wang Junhua confirmed the date of Yue Pengju's death, his heart was already at ease. He then said: "Recently, Yue Pengju's trusted aides and generals have been active for a long time.

Because of Sun Ge, Yu Peng and the others' rebuttal after hearing the letter, Zhao Deji had long been on his guard. A bunch of scholars were working so hard for the martial husband, wouldn't that mean that the Da Song's foundation for guarding against martial generals would be shaken? Moreover, it wouldn't do if Yue Pengju were to arrest him as soon as he arrived, as it would be even harder to stop him from leaving. Not only did he want to get rid of Yue Pengju, he also wanted to protect his "benevolent lord" attitude, and at the same time, didn't want to violate the oath left by his ancestor, Taizu Zhao, to "not kill a minister".

"Make Qin Gui hurry up and continue to search for Yue Pengju's strong evidence."

Wang Junhua happily said: "Cutting the grass will not remove the roots, and spring winds will rise again. Yue Pengju has long had the heart of one, whether it's his son or a scourge … "

Zhao Deji pondered for a moment, he had thought about it, but it was not as though he had never thought about it, he was currently filled with hope to obtain Hua Rong, if he killed her son, according to her temper, she would definitely not listen to him even if she died.

The mysterious woman in Zhang Quwei's mouth must be Hua Rong. Zhao Deji had been plotting against Hua Rong for a long time, and although she had always despised Zhao Deji, she did not want the man he had a secret relationship with to love another woman more than himself. What made her feel extremely proud was that he had always played around with the three strongest men in the world, Song Jin: Jin Wushu, Zhao Deji, and Qin Gui. If Hua Rong was favored by his, then wouldn't this sense of superiority be greatly reduced?

She had a plan in her mind, and said: "Chenqie has often heard people discussing, saying that with the past good fortune of protecting the emperor, Hua Rong is extremely domineering, causing great feast for the guests in the Yueyuan, and wantonly spreading the vow that the Taizu would not kill any of the meritorious officials, causing a lot of public opinion to be set on the fact that the Shangguan Family would not dare to kill her. Shangguan Family was benevolent, tolerating her and her son. He was truly a benevolent person, not only was she not grateful, she was even taking advantage of him. "Chenqie met her by chance yesterday and even made her laugh …"

Hua Rong lived in a secluded place in the Yueyuan, the two of them had never met, but Zhao Deji heard the inklings, "You said you saw Hua Rong yesterday?"

Wang Junhua made a slip of the tongue, and could only bite the bullet. He thought, what's the point of not seeing Hua Rong before? He immediately continued with his lies, "Servant doesn't like her and Li Yian hanging out on the streets. "The reason why the husband and wife are so keen on dating talented women is to create public opinion that will benefit them …"

"She actually dares to lie to me …"

Zhao Deji's expression changed greatly, and casually found an excuse to make Wang Junhua withdraw. Wang Junhua did not understand what he said wrongly, but seeing Zhao Deji's situation, he immediately guessed that it was against Hua Rong's interest, his mind quickly changed, and he was extremely happy as he talked to herself: "Even if the heavens were to help me, I will still be able to."

Once Wang Junhua left, he could no longer sit still. He only said that Hua Rong had "pleaded for a son" for him in the Buddhist Hall, who would have thought that he would actually be wandering around outside with her son? Isn't that the crime of deceiving the king? There was still another unspeakable thing in his heart: Was she able to fulfill Hua Rong's wish that day?! This had always been a big question in his heart. His mind was deep, and on this kind of matter, it was impossible for a man who was well aware to not be able to remember any details. No matter how hard he tried, he could only hold onto Hua Rong's hand for a brief moment. Furthermore, Hua Rong had a stubborn personality. Even if it was due to him cherishing his son, wouldn't she surrender a little too quickly that day?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss.

The Kanggong walked in, knowing that the situation was bad, he immediately knelt down. Zhao Deji shouted: "Insolent slave, why aren't you summoning me?"

Kanggong asked with a trembling voice, "Shangguan Family... "What did this little one do …"

"That day, did we really meet Hua Rong? "If you dare to lie in the slightest, I will cut you down …"

Kanggong was so scared that his head felt like it was about to burst, as he knew that this depraved monarch had finally found out the truth. However, he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. He could only say, "Shangguan Family … "That day was real, real …"

"Really what?"

Who do you not know, he said to himself, about the details of your presence in the room? However, what came out of his mouth was, "That sound, everyone heard it... Shangguan Family's, Hua Rong's... " He summoned up his courage and asked, "Could it be that Hua Rong was unable to fully attend to her?"

Because of that night, Zhao Deji had often proudly displayed his man's prowess in front of the Eunuch. Now, how could he easily admit that he was still "no"? He refused to admit this humiliating thought.

He saw that there were no flaws in Kanggong's words and was sure that Kanggong wouldn't lie to him because of Yue Pengju and his wife, and he didn't know why, so he changed his mind and immediately said, "Immediately set out to the Empress Dowager's Buddha Hall, and don't disturb anyone …"

Kanggong secretly complained, but he had no choice but to immediately make secret preparations to accompany Zhao Deji to the buddhist hall.

Because Zhao Deji had his suspicions, the more he thought about it, the more furious he became. Fortunately, he had been using the masculine medicine the entire time in Xiao Liu, so there was no reason for him to be so 'elegant' without remembering anything.

And Tianwei. His heart was actually as bright as a mirror. His birth mother must have been afraid that Tian Wei would expose his disgraceful behavior in the Jinguo; after all, the painting that Zong Wang had given him the Wei Xian Fei's Spring Palace was real, and the Wei Xian Fei would definitely not be able to escape destruction.

How could Tianwei and his birth mother be light? He had already weighed it. Now, thinking about how Tianwei and Hua Rong had teamed up to bully the monarch, he couldn't bear it any longer.

After the first rain of the early winter, the plants of the "Yueyuan" withered and turned yellow. Even the evergreen and honeysuckle looked dispirited. Some of the flowers on the ground had turned into scarlet flowers.

A palace maid, led by a maid, quietly came in and found Hua Rong in the garden. She looked anxious: "Madame Yue, the princess invites you to go to the buddhist hall immediately …" Hua Rong was shocked and immediately understood that it was Zhao Deji who was going to conduct a surprise inspection.

She immediately entrusted her child to Li Yian and rode towards the Empress Dowager's temple.

Her Majesty's temple was next to the palace. Because of the Southern Crossing, the current Northface Palace was less than ten times the size of the original imperial palace. Although it also had four simple gates, the scale and structure of the palace was not as impressive as the wealthy home in Tokyo back then. Her Majesty's temple was on the side of the women's garret. It was originally a nunnery in the area, because the fire in the south of the Golden Army had once withered. When the empress dowager arrived at Yan'an,he didn't want to perfunctory reply to the already crowded harem and Ladies, so she invited them to settle down at the Buddhist hall behind his to recuperate. After she died, in order to pay his respects, Zhao Deji expanded the size of the buddhist hall, and any who came to worship his god, were of course mostly here to beg for their son's help.

It was late in the night, and a special participant came to the buddhist hall, it was Zhang Yingying. Tian Wei did not have a good relationship with her, but when she thought about how she had cooperated with Hua Rong to save him previously, she was just about to bow to her. She only saw her kneeling under a giver, mumbling something under her breath, but her eyes were still looking at herself.

Tianwei felt very surprised. She pretended to walk over and kneel on the prayer mat beside her. Zhang Yingying said almost with her lips: "Hurry up and tell Madame Yue to go back to the Buddhist Hall, 'he' is suspicious …"

Recently, they had all unanimously used "he" to refer to Zhao Deji. The "Shangguan Family" of the past seemed to be a faraway matter that could not be mentioned any longer.

It was unknown why Tian Wei became suspicious, but just as she was about to say something, Zhang Yingying had already stood up.

When she saw the look of fear in her eyes, she became even more uneasy. She immediately realized that perhaps the The elder brother of the nine had discovered something. She anxiously went to the door to take a look, but the messenger had just left, how could Hua Rong rush back so quickly?

She waited for an unknown amount of time in a state of anxiety. The sky had already turned completely dark, the oil lamps in the buddhist hall were extinguished, and in front of the empress dowager's throne, the fruits of the melon were red and green.

Tianwei's knees went numb and her mind was in a state of chaos. A voice suddenly sounded beside his ear: "Tianwei, where's Hua Rong?"

She was so shocked that she almost jumped. The elder brother of the nine actually barged in without any notice. He really was here for a surprise attack.

Seeing her panicked expression, Zhao Deji became even more suspicious, and angrily said: "Where is Hua Rong?"

She didn't know how to answer, so she stammered, "Madame Yue... She … Madame Yue... "She …"

"Tianwei, how dare you! You actually dared to cooperate with Hua Rong to deceive us."

Tianwei was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Please calm your anger The elder brother of the nine, The elder brother of the nine … "I'm not lying to you …"

"No?" Then what about Hua Rong? Didn't you solemnly swear that you would help me beg for my child? Where is she now? "

Tianwei couldn't answer him at all. Zhao Deji sneered: "Has Hua Rong already escaped? And you're her accomplice, aren't you? "

"The elder brother of the nine …"

"You gluttonous cheap maidservant …" Zhao Deji raised his hand and slapped Tian Wei ruthlessly. He covered his face in shock, not daring to cry. She only raised his head to look at him, and asked in a daze, "The elder brother of the nine, what did I do wrong?"

"Don't you know your wrongs? You join hands with Hua Rong and play with us in the palm of your hands … "

"Your Majesty, the princess is not lying to you!"
