Returning to the palace, Zhang Jinxiao immediately came to Emperor Wu's chamber, and then reported to him what happened after his disappearance.

"You said King Jin wanted to kill you?"

Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes and stared sharply at Zhang Jinxiao opposite him.

"Yes! Your Majesty, if it weren't for the cleverness of this old slave, I might never have the chance to serve Your Majesty again."

Zhang Jinxiao knelt on the ground and cried with tears and runny nose.

"Do you have any evidence to prove that it was King Jin who attacked you?" Emperor Wu asked.

No matter how filial Zhang Jinxiao was to him, he was still just a slave. And even if King Jin is no longer in his important position, he will still be his own prince.

It was impossible for Emperor Wu to directly believe the other party's words just because of his one-sided words.

Facing Emperor Wu's inquiry, Zhang Jinxiao immediately took out the origami from his pocket and quickly presented it to Emperor Wu.

"Your Majesty, this is something that the prince gave to the old slave for safekeeping when he was still alive. He said that if he encounters any situation, the old slave should be handed over to your majesty immediately."

Upon hearing Zhang Jinxiao's answer, Emperor Wu's face flashed with displeasure.

The other party was his confidant, but he helped the prince without telling him. This clearly meant that he did not take the emperor seriously. But now that the prince is dead, he is too lazy to pursue these matters anymore, so he immediately takes the fold and looks at the contents.

In less than half a minute, Emperor Wu's face suddenly darkened. He stared at Zhang Jinxiao indifferently and asked, "Have you read the content above?"

Seeing Emperor Wu's face at this moment, Zhang Jinxiao was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and knocked his whole head directly to the ground.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince warned me not to look at the contents inside. I have been working as a servant in this palace for so many years and I know what should be read and what should not be read. Therefore, this document has only been kept in my mind. I have never opened it once around me.”

What is written here is an act of cowardice done by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen. It is absolutely a great shame and humiliation for His Majesty and the Royal Family.

He was worried that His Majesty would kill him in order to prevent rumors from spreading.

Therefore, even if Zhang Jinxiao had read the contents of the brochure, he could only reject it and deny it to death.

Looking at Zhang Jinxiao's frightened expression on the ground, Emperor Wu tightened his eyelids. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "You should get up first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Jinxiao stood up immediately, lowered his head, and stood in front of Emperor Wu with great respect.

"Eunuch Zhang, you have to know in your mind what you should and should not say. You have been sitting by my side for so many years, so you must also know my character." Emperor Wu reminded me.

Eunuch Zhang has been by his side for more than twenty years and can definitely be regarded as his confidant. If you kill him, it will take time to cultivate another person like him.

Therefore, regardless of whether the other party has read the contents of the brochure, as long as he keeps his mouth shut, Emperor Wu will not kill him yet.

"Slave understands."

After hearing Emperor Wu's reminder, Zhang Jinxiao naturally understood what the other party meant, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

...

After dealing with Zhang Jinxiao's case, Emperor Wu went directly to the Queen's Weiyang Palace.

"His Majesty."

Seeing the sudden arrival of Emperor Wu, Nangong quickly stood up and walked forward to salute.

"You all get out of here."

Emperor Wu looked at the palace maid in the room, and then whispered.

All the maids did not dare to show any neglect and quickly left the room.

Seeing Emperor Wu's behavior at this moment, Nangong seemed to have guessed some of his intentions, but still asked with suspicion.

"Your Majesty, is there anything you want to tell your wife?"

Emperor Wu threw the book directly on the table and shouted in a low voice: "See for yourself!"

Nangong didn't know why, so she glanced at Emperor Wu, then picked up the book and opened it, her eyes trembling slightly.

After noticing this subtle move towards Nangong, Emperor Wu asked, "Tell me, is this true?!"

But this fact has obviously been determined in his heart.

Nangong sat down dullly. After some ideological struggle, he nodded calmly, "Yes."

"You bitch, why did you betray me!"

Seeing Nangong personally admit what he had done, Emperor Wu glared at him angrily, wishing to kill him right now.

At this time, Nangong couldn't help but sneered and said lightly: "There is nothing to explain. If your Majesty wants to kill my wife, just send someone to do it now."

She had already suffered in this deep palace compound.

Others thought she was the incomparably noble mother of a country, but in fact she was just a canary in a cage. Every word and deed attracted attention, and she had no freedom.

Now that Gu Mao is dead, she is no longer so obsessed with the so-called throne.

"You think I don't dare!"

Seeing Nangong's fearless look, Emperor Wu became even more furious and even reached out to slap him, but in the end he endured it.

Seeing Emperor Wu's angry look, Nangong snorted coldly and did not answer the other party's question, but there was a sarcastic look in his eyes.

When King Jin came to see him yesterday, she had already been mentally prepared. How could she be afraid of Emperor Wu's threats now?

Seeing Nangong's sarcastic expression, Emperor Wu's eyes turned cold and he clenched his fists hard. After a moment of hesitation, he forced himself to calm down and said coldly: "From now on, you will stay with me in Weiyang Palace. Stay well and don’t go anywhere without my permission!”

The other party is the Queen of Zhou Dynasty, the mother of a country that everyone respects.

Once the opponent is killed, it will inevitably cause shock in the court, and all officials will have to give an explanation.

And after so many years of friendship, even though the other party went too far this time, Emperor Wu still couldn't bear to kill her.

...

After leaving Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu immediately sent a message to Prince Jin's Mansion and asked Prince Jin Gu Tianming to enter the palace.

In Prince Jin's palace, Gu Tianming looked extremely embarrassed after receiving the news and didn't know how to make a decision.

At this moment, his father summoned him back to the palace, probably because he knew what happened between him and the Nangong family.

Even though he knew that his father might hold him accountable, Gu Tianming had no choice but to go.

Unless he doesn't want to stay in Dazhou anymore.

After some concerns, Gu Tianming still rode on the carriage and headed to the palace anxiously.

Soon, he arrived at Emperor Wu's palace.

Pushing open the door, Emperor Wu was already sitting upright on the wooden chair, looking at Gu Tianming indifferently.

Seeing this scene, Gu Tianming immediately bowed down and whispered: "My son, I have met my father."

"Kneel down!"

Emperor Wu shouted loudly without any nonsense.

Gu Tianming hesitated for a few seconds, then "plopped" and knelt directly in front of Emperor Wu.

At this time, Emperor Wu took the prison whip from the hand of a guard, stood up and slowly walked towards Gu Tianming.

There was just a "snap" sound, and the whip struck Gu Tianming hard on the back, followed by Emperor Wu's angry shout, "Idiot who doesn't understand the rules, why did I give birth to such a nondescript beast like you in the first place! "

After saying that, he slapped Gu Tianming hard on the back again.

A sharp pain suddenly came from my back, as if the skin was torn instantly, it was extremely painful.

Drops of hot sweat remained on Gu Tianming's forehead, and his cheeks instantly turned red from suppressing the pain, but he still suppressed his silence and allowed Emperor Wu to continue whipping him.
