The queen was very suspicious that Li Cheng's death had something to do with King Zhao.

It is very likely that Li Cheng wanted to murder King Zhao, but was killed by King Zhao instead.

At present, the case is still under investigation, and the queen can't produce conclusive evidence to identify King Zhao for the time being.

But the queen didn't want to let King Zhao go just like that.

She came here on purpose because she heard that King Zhao was fined twenty army sticks by the emperor.

It's just twenty military sticks, it's too cheap for King Zhao!

The queen glanced at the flying dragon riders, looked at the army sticks in their hands, and said coldly.

"Your sticks are too light, I will change the key for you."

She raised her right hand.

Immediately, a tall and strong eunuch came forward, holding a black and heavy iron rod in his hand.

He handed the iron rod to one of the flying dragon riders.

The dragon rider's cold sweat broke out all of a sudden.

The sticks they usually use for execution are wooden sticks. If they were replaced with iron sticks, they could break a person's bones at once.

Although the emperor said he wanted to punish King Zhao, he didn't say he wanted to beat him to death.

If they really want to beat people to death, how will they explain to the emperor later?

Neither of the two flying dragonriders dared to reach out to catch the iron rod.

The queen said coldly.

"What are you afraid of? Even if you beat him hard, I will take care of what happens."

Under the queen's persecution, one of the flying dragon riders stretched out his hand and caught the heavy iron rod.

He looked at King Zhao who was standing upright, and said embarrassingly.

"His Royal Highness, I'm sorry."

Li Ji looked at the queen with mocking eyes.

"If you have the ability, just kill me."

The queen's face darkened, pointing to his knees, and said coldly.

"Just hit him here!"

What if his legs recovered?

She can still be defeated by someone!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Wang quietly backed away and ran towards Hanzhang Hall.

Seeing the hesitant look of the two flying dragonriders, the queen shouted sharply.

"What are you still dawdling about? Why don't you hurry up?!"

The flying dragon rider was forced to have no choice but to raise the iron rod and hit King Zhao's knee.

Probably because he had a lot of worries in his heart, he didn't use his full strength with this stick.

Even so, a slight dislocation of bones could still be heard.

Li Ji couldn't stand anymore, and knelt down on the ground.

He put his hands on the ground.

After a while, he stood up unsteadily again.

He could even give the Queen a provocative chuckle.

The queen's face sank like water.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Keep fighting!"

The two flying dragon riders hurriedly reminded.

"Twenty sticks have been played."

The queen didn't care about this, and said sharply with red eyes.

"Bengong said that if you haven't finished the fight, you haven't finished the fight. You guys continue to fight for Bengong! Beat hard!"

She is now full of thoughts of revenge.

She conceived in October, the son who was born with all her efforts, the son she had worked so hard to bring up with great difficulty.

Just die.

How could she bear this bad breath?

She must make the murderer pay the price!

At this moment, Zuo Ji ran out in a hurry.

He saluted the queen.

"Empress, Your Majesty has called you in."

The queen didn't move.

Her gaze was still fixed on King Zhao.

Zuo Ji said it again with a heavy tone.

"Empress, Your Majesty is still waiting to see you!"

The queen withdrew her gaze, turned and left without saying a word.

Zuo Ji winked at the two flying dragon riders, and then quickly followed the queen.

When everyone was gone, the two flying dragonriders hurriedly threw away the iron bars, stepped forward to support King Zhao, and kept apologizing.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing you can do about being humble. Don't blame us."

Li Ji was too lazy to talk to them, so he only said two words.

"clothing."

One person hurriedly picked up the coat on the ground, wiped off the dust on the clothes, and then offered the clothes with both hands.

Enduring the severe pain from the wound on his back, Li Ji put on his coat.

In this way, the injury on his back could not be seen.

The two supported King Zhao and walked outside the palace gate.

Li Ji came here on a horse, but he definitely couldn't ride a horse with his current appearance.

So Chen Wangbei temporarily found him a carriage, and planned to take him back to Prince Zhao's mansion himself.

Li Ji said.

"Go to Zhong'anbo Mansion first, the king is going to pick up someone."

Chen Wangbei didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly responded.

The carriage soon stopped at the gate of Zhong'anbo Mansion.

Li Ji said to Chen Wangbei.

"Go and call the door, and tell me that the king is here to pick up Hua Ruren and go home."

He paused and added another sentence.

"Don't say anything unnecessary.

Chen Wangbei responded, "I know the humble job."

He secretly sighed that King Zhao really cared about Hua Ruren, even if he was seriously injured, he would not forget to pick her up personally.

Zhong'an Bo Hua Dingzong learned that King Zhao came to pick him up in person, and immediately urged Hua Manman to pack up and leave.

He took his two sons and sent Hua Manman outside the gate of Bo's residence.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Ji didn't see anything unusual on his face.

He spoke to Hua Manman through the car window.

"go home."

Hua Manman didn't need anyone's help, and climbed into the carriage with the hem of her skirt in her hands.

Hua Dingzong took his two sons to greet King Zhao.

Li Ji glanced at the three of them, and lazily replied.

"Go back."

Before, Hua Manman came to Zhong'anbo Mansion in a carriage, but at this moment, the carriage was already full of things prepared by He's order.

The two carriages left Zhong'anbo Mansion one after the other, and returned to King Zhao's Mansion along the street.

Apart from Li Ji's complexion looking slightly worse than usual, there is nothing unusual about him.

Hua Manman thought that he was a bit tired from the long journey, so his complexion was not very good.

Seeing him leaning against the wall of the car with his eyes closed, she didn't dare to disturb him, and the journey was very quiet.

When they arrived at Prince Zhao's Mansion, Li Ji asked Hua Manman to get off the car first.

Hua Manman didn't think much, and jumped out of the carriage first.

She turned to look at King Zhao, only to find that he got off the car much slower than usual.

Especially when he landed on the ground, his figure flickered, and he fell straight forward!

Fortunately, Hua Manman has quick eyes and hands, and quickly reached out to hug him.

Pressing her hands on his back, she felt the damp heat in her hands.

The people around hurried over and helped to help King Zhao.

Hua Manman looked down, but saw that her hands were covered with blood!

She raised her head and looked at King Zhao in astonishment.

At this time, other people also noticed the injury on King Zhao's back, and they all exclaimed.

"My lord is injured!"

"Call the doctor quickly!"

What followed was a period of chaos.

Hua Manman didn't know what she could do, she could only run with the crowd.

When the Dafu doctor came, he took a look at King Zhao's clothes and found that his back was bloody.

Hua Manman was terrified.

But that's not all.

King Zhao's legs were also injured, and his knee joints were severely dislocated.

Fortunately, the bones were not broken and he was saved.
