Chapter 3 Chapter 003 The emperor was angry and his corpse floated thousands of miles away

"Old slave, I will finally come to see the emperor."

In the palace, Zhou Chen had already put on a dragon robe.

Looking at Zhao Gao and Jin He who were saluting below, they waved their hands expressionlessly, "Forgive me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Gao and Jin He stood up. Seeing that the emperor Zhou Chen was full of energy and rosy, they couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Didn’t it mean that the emperor was seriously ill and could no longer leave the dragon bed?

Why don't they look alike at all.

Is it a flashback?

When they thought of this, their hearts trembled violently.

If it really comes back to light, then the weather will really change this week.

No one knows the current situation in the palace better than the two of them.

Once the emperor Zhou Chen dies, the great Zhou Dynasty will definitely change his dynasty and surname.

"You two must already know about Zhang De's poisoning of me!" Zhou Chen looked down at Zhao Gao and Jin He.

He knew that there were basically no secrets in this deep palace.

Especially around him, the emperor, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

Zhang De poisoned him, the emperor, and executed him. It was such a big deal that it could not be hidden from some people's eyes.

Anyone who is well-informed in the palace would probably know.

"Your Majesty, this old slave is very loyal to your Majesty!"

Zhao Gao knelt on the ground with a pale face.

He is another personal eunuch of Zhou Chen and the second-ranking figure in the inner court, second only to Zhang De.

He had already known about the fact that Zhang De poisoned the emperor and was executed when he came, and he was shocked and full of fear at the same time.

If the emperor investigates further, their entire inner court will be implicated.

Zhou Chen looked at Zhao Gao coldly. What he didn't believe the most was this kind of loyal nonsense, and said angrily, "If you are loyal, let me investigate and find out who wants my life, no matter who is involved."

, don’t let anyone go.”

Hearing this, Zhao Gao nodded quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go check it out right now."

The emperor became angry and his corpse floated thousands of miles away.

This is no joke.

Zhao Gao had already sensed the hostility in Zhou Chen, the emperor.

Much heavier than before.

After Zhao Gao left, Zhou Chen looked at Jin He again.

At this time, Jin He also knelt on the ground. As one of the three commanders of the Forbidden Army, if the emperor was poisoned, he would also be implicated.

"Jin He, do you know why I only asked you to come here?" Zhou Chen asked.

"I don't know what will happen." Jin He shook his head worriedly.

He was also surprised that in terms of close relationship, the other two commanders of the Forbidden Army were the emperor's closest confidants.

The emperor did not call his cronies, but only himself.

Is this to hold people accountable?

"Because you are a loyal minister."

That's right, the reason why Zhou Chen only called Jin He the commander of the imperial army was because Jin He only recognized the imperial order and nothing else.

Even if it was the order of Queen Wu Ying, a saint who was coming to the court, he would not recognize it.

This is the real reason why Zhou Chen only calls him this commander.

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, the worry on Jin He's face disappeared and he looked excited.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

As a minister, it is the greatest honor to receive such a comment from the emperor.

"Jin He, from now on, I will be in charge of the Imperial Army. No one is allowed to mobilize the Imperial Army without my order. Anyone who violates this will be killed."

Zhou Chen said with a hint of cold murderous intent in his eyes.

"besides."

"Replace the guards in the palace immediately, especially the guards around me. Replace them all."

"I don't want something like today to happen again, understand?"

Zhou Chen looked at Jin He.

A glint flashed in Jin He's eyes, and he immediately understood Zhou Chen's intention.

"I will finally understand." Jin He said with understanding.

Zhou Chen nodded with satisfaction; "Go!"

"I will finally retire."

Jin He exited the palace, feeling that his back was already wet.

As a master of the late stage of a first-class grand master, he had just sensed fatal danger from the general guarding the emperor Zhou Chen in the palace.

He was sure that if he had hesitated just now, he would never have been able to leave the palace.

This general must be a strong man even stronger than him.

But as one of the three commanders of the Forbidden Army, whether inside or outside the palace, he has never heard of such a strong general in the army?

So where did such a strong military commander come from?

Jin He glanced at the surrounding elite Bingzhou Langqi, who were also strangers, in confusion, and left with doubts.

…

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

This is the place where emperors throughout the Zhou Dynasty handled daily government affairs and reviewed memorials.

at this time.

Inside the palace.

A brave and beautiful woman was sitting in the seat that should belong to the emperor, looking at the memorial in her hand.

There were dozens of reviewed memorials piled up next to her, except for the last one in her hand.

She is the proud daughter of a generation who came to the throne of the Second Saint and took charge of half of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Empress Wu Ying of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Wu Ying finished reviewing the last memorial in her hand and was about to put it down when she saw her personal maid, Wan'er, walking in with a hurried expression.

"Mother, it's bad, something happened."

Wan'er said impatiently as soon as she walked in.

When Wu Ying saw this, he frowned and scolded with a dissatisfied look on his face: "As a palace maid, it is unbecoming for me to be so flustered."

The palace maid Wan'er quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please atone for your sins. It was Wan'er who was reckless."

Wu Ying then put down the memorial and asked, "What happened? Tell me!"

"Your Majesty, Zhang De is dead. He was executed by the Emperor." Princess Wan'er said in a low voice.

Well?

Zhang De is dead?

Wu Ying raised his beautiful eyebrows, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Then what!"

Wu Ying's expression remained unchanged, she didn't care whether Zhang De died or not.

What she cares about is why Zhang De was executed by the emperor.

In his impression, the emperor Zhou Chen was not a decisive and resolute person in killing and punishing.

He is a nostalgic, indecisive, docile and filial person.

Such people generally will not kill people around them easily.

"The emperor summoned Zhao Gao and Commander Jin He." Wan'er whispered again.

This time Wu Ying's expression changed, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

Wan'er is the maid she grew up with, and there are things between them that don't need to be said clearly.

It only takes one look to understand what the other person means.

Obviously, Wu Ying already understood the meaning of Wan'er's words.

Golden crane?

Wu Ying began to think deeply.

Jin He is one of the oldest commanders among the three commanders of the Forbidden Army. He has been in charge of the Forbidden Army for more than thirty years and has a high prestige among the Forbidden Army.

The most important thing is that Jin He only respects the emperor's order and does not recognize anything else.

Instead of summoning the other two trusted commanders, the emperor only summoned Jin He, the commander who was not a trusted commander.

Its purpose is thought-provoking.

Is this to guard against me?

Wu Ying's eyes flickered and he said to Wan'er beside him, "Let our people act according to the situation and clean up all the traces that need to be cleaned up."

Wan'er nodded in understanding; "Yes, empress."

Wu Ying stood up.

"Let's go! We haven't gone to see the emperor today."

Since the emperor Zhou Chen was seriously ill and bedridden, Wu Ying would visit him once a day.

There are no exceptions.
