Xu Zhenguan quietly scrutinized Zhao Du'an.

At this moment, this female emperor, who ascended the throne as a woman, was calm on the surface, but in fact, she was quite surprised.

The memorial Zhao Du'an handed her was indeed far beyond her expectations.

As a female emperor, although she didn't have time to pay attention to Zhao Du'an, she already knew the performance of this "false gigolo" she had chosen through the narration of the female official Mo Chou the day before yesterday.

Not surprisingly.

A small imperial guard, once in power, surrounded by flowers, fluttering and oblivious, is normal, she has seen many such people.

Including the memorial later submitted by the White Horse Division Supervisor, it only mentioned that Zhao Du'an's heart was not bad.

But regarding his talent, it didn't mention a word.

This is in stark contrast to Zhao Du'an's amazing performance when he ground ink for her the day before yesterday, and his current methods.

A Ministry of Personnel Director, self-reporting, his bribery, was secretly instructed by the current Prime Minister… The female emperor didn't quite believe it.

She respects Li Yanfu's IQ.

Is it a false accusation? Is it biting? But what is the purpose?

Also, most importantly, how did Zhao Du'an force Feng Ju to do such an outrageous thing?

Xu Zhenguan pondered slightly, and as intelligent as she was, she quickly understood Zhao Du'an's operation, and also vaguely guessed Zhao Du'an's true purpose.

To offer her a useful knife to show his own value and seek her favor.

But can this kind of insight and means really be possessed by this rumored ignorant fellow?

Or is there an expert behind the scenes to guide him?

Such as the old eunuch from the White Horse Supervisor?

Xu Zhenguan admitted that she was starting to become interested in this "false gigolo".

Of course, the most important thing is that she likes the gift the other party gave her very much.

The matter of "changing rice to mulberry" is the battlefield where Li Yanfu and she are vaguely playing games.

In the temple, rules are emphasized, and even if she has extremely high cultivation and a noble status, she needs to follow this set of game rules.

With Feng Ju's report, Xu Zhenguan can seize this small matter and make a big fuss.

… …

Inside the hall.

Everyone who observed their words and expressions also vaguely noticed the change in the atmosphere through the female emperor's expression.

Ma Yan was the first to perceive it. As a martial arts expert, he was more sensitive to changes in other people's aura.

He couldn't help but wonder, what exactly was written on the memorial that Zhao Du'an presented?

Why has Your Majesty been looking at it for so long?

He suddenly realized that things might be about to change.

The contempt on Lu Liang's face also faded, and uneasiness surged in his heart. Vaguely aware that there might be changes, he immediately said loudly:

"Your Majesty, this thief is eloquent, trying to use small achievements to escape punishment, he is extremely cunning! I believe that he should be immediately imprisoned… Especially, this person's private interrogation of female rebels should also be thoroughly investigated…"

Zhang Changshuo also jumped out impatiently, echoing:

"Censor Lu is absolutely right, I believe…"

"Enough!"

Suddenly, a slightly impatient and clear reprimand from the dragon throne immediately silenced the two of them.

I saw Xu Zhenguan, dressed in white like snow, majestic and aloof, swept across everyone, her eyes were sharp, and she made the final ruling:

"I already know about this matter, and I will make a judgment on my own, so there is no need to say more. I am tired today, all ministers, please withdraw."

Golden words!

In an instant, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed to varying degrees.

They are all sophisticated people, how can they not hear the meaning behind the female emperor's words?

Saying "I will make a judgment on my own" is actually raising it high and gently putting it down, blatantly protecting and favoring Zhao Du'an!

Especially the four words "no need to say more" mean that the female emperor doesn't want to hear any more impeachments, and it can be predicted that this matter will gradually fade away until no one mentions it again.

Why?

What exactly happened?

Didn't Zhao Du'an lose the Holy Favor?

If you want to favor him, why interrogate him? If you want to punish him, why protect him?

Lu Liang's goatee trembled, he was stunned on the spot, a bellyful of words stuck in his throat, his eyes were full of disbelief and strong frustration.

There was a feeling of being played.

He didn't understand, why did the matter, which was originally a sure thing, suddenly reverse?

What exactly did Zhao Du'an write in his memorial?

"Your Majesty," Lu Liang opened his mouth and squeezed out a sentence, "If such a ruling is made, I am afraid that all the civil and military officials…"

Xu Zhenguan stood up and glanced at him coldly:

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Lu Liang's breathing stagnated, and cold sweat flowed down:

"No… I dare not."

"Then step back," Xu Zhenguan said, and suddenly looked at the disheartened Zhang Changshuo, with a cold expression, and said:

"Zhang Changshuo framed his colleagues, and he should have been severely punished, but considering that he is a first-time offender and is dedicated to the public, he will only be punished by reflecting on himself behind closed doors for three days, so he can reflect on himself."

Boom!

Zhang Changshuo was struck by lightning, his face pale.

Reflecting on oneself behind closed doors seems like nothing, but the signal that the female emperor doesn't like him is the biggest punishment.

Especially since he came full of expectations, but at this moment, not only was Zhao Du'an unharmed, but he left a bad impression on the female emperor.

Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice… The clown turned out to be himself… Huh, it even rhymes!

Xu Zhenguan stepped forward, and accompanied by the palace servants, walked out of the side hall. When passing by Zhao Du'an, she paused slightly and said:

"Zhao Du'an?"

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"It's getting late, stay in the palace and have dinner with me."

"Yes!"

Zhang Changshuo next to him seemed to have been hit by an arrow in the chest, and took several steps back, looking at Zhao Du'an in disbelief.

Not only did Your Majesty withstand the pressure of all the civil and military officials to protect the thief Zhao, but she even kept him for dinner?!

There is an ancient saying that "when you are full, you think about that…"

He couldn't even imagine what the two of them would do after dinner!

Zhang Changshuo's eyes went dark.

"Farewell, Your Majesty!"

As everyone bowed in unison, Xu Zhenguan's figure disappeared into the distance.

Wearing a flying fish suit, with a white face and no beard, the moody "White-browed Yama", the chief eunuch Ma Yan straightened up, took a deep look at the little white face beside him, and said:

"Congratulations."

Today, Zhao Du'an's impression of him was a big surprise.

At this moment, I also feel a little fortunate… Fortunately, he only threw the blame from beginning to end, and did not do any other attacks.

Isn't… Shouldn't congratulations be with a smile? What's with this stern face and fierce look… Zhao Du'an was full of relief at this moment, and slandered in his heart, smiling and said:

"Thank you, Supervisor…"

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Yan turned and left.

Obviously, he doesn't have any good feelings for his notorious character.

"… …" Zhao Du'an looked at the remaining two people again.

Lu Liang was expressionless, turned his head and left without saying a word, he was anxious to report this matter to the Prime Minister.

He is just the vanguard, the real game is still between the big figures on both sides.

As for Zhang Changshuo, he didn't even say a harsh word, and followed Censor Lu Liang, and left in despair.

This made Zhao Du'an quite disappointed, thinking that this love rival is so vulnerable?

Is this all the fighting spirit gone?

"Sir, please follow this servant to the flower hall to wait, and wait for His Majesty to summon you later."

The older female official who had accepted Zhao Du'an's silver note bribe the day before yesterday came over and said with a smile.

Zhao Du'an cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, sister."

At the same time, his heartstrings tightened again, knowing that this matter was not over yet, and the female emperor obviously wanted to interrogate him alone.

This operation is too different from the original "Zhao Du'an" persona after all, and it is impossible for the female emperor not to notice it.

That is to say, he must give a perfect explanation.

Otherwise, he is still doomed.

"I hope there is no seizing and rebirth in the cultivation system of this world…" Zhao Du'an secretly prayed.

… …

… …

On the other side, with the end of this "interrogation" that attracted the attention of the entire capital, the final result also blew outside the palace like a whirlwind.

Palace gate.

Zhu Kui guarded the carriage, uneasy, like a family member waiting outside the college entrance examination, frequently looking at the deep doorway, hoping to see Zhao Du'an's figure.

Although he almost believed in his heart that even if Zhao Du'an didn't die this time, he would have to shed a layer of skin, Zhu Kui still held a glimmer of hope.

After all, he completely followed Zhao Du'an and completed the whole set of operations.

Although he doesn't know the inside story, it doesn't prevent him from having illusions.

It's not loyalty, but he is too deeply bound as Zhao Du'an's confidant, once Zhao Du'an falls, he, a small soldier, will inevitably be affected.

His life depends on this.

Before entering the palace this morning, Zhu Kui had even written a suicide note, and told his family about the funeral.

It's not a fuss, but he has seen too much bloody storm in the feudal dynasty.

Finally.

Someone came out of the doorway, Zhu Kui's spirits lifted, and he quickly fixed his eyes to look, but only saw Ma Yan, Lu Liang and Zhang Changshuo walking out one after another.

"The lord couldn't come out…"

Zhu Kui's heart sank completely, his whole body was half cold, guessing that Zhao Du'an was probably already in danger, and was directly chopped off by the angry female emperor in the palace.

Under the panic and loss of consciousness, he didn't even notice Zhang Changshuo's Sima face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"This celestial official," Zhu Kui put on a flattering smile, quickly walked to the eunuch who came out to see people off, and skillfully took out a silver ingot and handed it over:

"May I ask why my lord couldn't come out?"

The eunuch recognized him as Zhao Du'an's servant, and hurriedly handed the silver back to him, saying:

"Absolutely not."

It's over! People don't even dare to accept the silver, how big is this thing?

Zhu Kui sealed his heart with cement, his smile froze.

However, the next second, he saw the eunuch showing a warm smile:

"Lord Zhao was kept in the palace by His Majesty for dinner, and I want this servant to bring you a message, you don't have to wait for him."
