The night is solemn and the winter wind is vigorous.

Liu Zhao stood alone by the window frame, allowing the wind pouring in to slash across his face like a knife, without moving at all.

Wuling pushed the door and was trembling when he was blowing in the wind. "Your Majesty, you are still standing in front of the window in the wind so late, I am afraid that the dragon's body will be damaged."

While speaking, Wuling quickly closed the door and walked quickly to the emperor to close the window.

"Don't move, I haven't seen enough yet." Liu Zhao stopped him.

"What is Your Majesty trying to see?" Wuling looked into the distance in surprise, but it seemed that there was no difference, just like the past.

"You said, aren't I too cruel to do this?" Liu Zhao was a little uneasy, to be precise, unable to bear it. He just left her alone in such a remote place, with only one maid serving him...

It's really inhumane.

After serving His Majesty for so long, Wuling certainly understood what this said.

Originally, he said some comforting words and passed. But today he couldn't hold back the truth.

"Whether there is someone to serve you is second. I am afraid that it will be difficult for Concubine Deng to sleep if he doesn't understand His Majesty's sincerity."

Liu Zhao suddenly turned his head, his eyes slashing across her face like a knife.

Wuling couldn't help but tremble: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, but I've lost my words."

"Hmph." Liu Zhao glanced at him contemptuously: "You are not saying anything wrong, it is clearly what you think. You think I have treated her harshly!"

"No." Wuling shook his head repeatedly: "Your Majesty did not treat nobleman Deng. On the contrary, I know that the reason why Your Majesty did this was to protect nobleman Deng. I just felt that why Your Majesty didn't understand and tell him. If nobleman Deng knew, I knew that the reason why his Majesty did not understand.

Your Majesty's painstaking efforts are that even if you are in a remote place, even if you don't have the luxury of clothes and food, you will definitely feel sweet in your heart. But because Your Majesty is not far away, Guiren Deng will be puzzled and exhausted. Instead, it is also

I don’t understand or even misinterpret His Majesty’s kindness.”

"What I want is her miserable situation." Liu Zhao said this, but he was not feeling well. "Do you think the many eyes and ears in the palace really can't find her place?

When the story broke out, someone would soon understand my true purpose of sending away Guiren Deng. By that time, if she didn't act well, wouldn't it be useless for my efforts..."

"Your Majesty's worries are not unreasonable." Wuling said respectfully.

"I'm afraid that you said this, but I still feel that my method is too cold and harsh!" Liu Zhao looked at him without a good look: "Don't blame me for not telling you in advance. I don't have the protection to me, don't blame me for turning my back on me."

Ruthless. If you do this, I will give you a great grace!"

The two looked at each other, and Wuling understood what the grace was referring to.

"Your Majesty, Wuling has become accustomed to it over the years. It doesn't matter whether you want this grace or not. But please rest assured that Wuling will do his best to protect the safety of Guiren Deng."

"I know you can, and you can do it too." Liu Zhao patted Wuling's shoulder and his face darkened again.

Seeing Your Majesty’s concern, Wuling comforted again: “Don’t worry, your Majesty, I have arranged everything I need. Once someone else takes action, I can ensure that the nobleman Deng is not hurt. Otherwise, I am willing to worship his head on His Majesty…

”

"I don't trust you." Liu Zhao sighed again: "I ascended the throne at a young age, and it has been so many years in the blink of an eye. Since a few years ago, I personally demoted the Empress Dowager Dou who raised me, and uprooted the Dou clan to the roots.

Holding the imperial power tightly. But look at it, it's only been so many years, these people can't wait to separate this power from me, so that the Han Dynasty will once again become a purgatory on earth for them to fight for power and profit. Wuling, I

It is not for this power. What I want is that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer have to suffer from war."

"Your Majesty cares about the safety of the people, how can a servant not understand?" Wuling felt passionate: "Whether your Majesty's decision is, Wuling will follow you to the death."

"So you, like me, don't believe that there is only one person in the harem?" Liu Zhao looked cold and had countless doubts in his heart. "Why did my decision not yet send it to the front line by giving the imperial edict?

, My ministers and my enemies have already made corresponding countermeasures? Why do I favor and treat whom in the palace? My officials know such subtle things in the palace. Why do I want to do?

Repeatedly frustrated, he became a lonely palm in the court. Who has such a courageous attitude? Every place around me is still about me, do you still want me to be that puppet emperor? Every move is under the control of others.

!”

Wuling was also extremely indignant: "Your Majesty does not need to be angry about such a thing. After this action is successful, Your Majesty will never have such troubles again."

"Yes!" Liu Zhao said with a deep eyebrows: "I also hope to turn the situation around as soon as possible."

It would be best if they couldn't hold back and showed the fox's tail early. Liu Zhao felt very sorry for Deng Sui. In such wilderness, even if it was not done by manpower, she would definitely suffer a lot. This is not his.

I'd like to see.

But for some reason, when he thinks of Deng Sui, he feels extremely warm in his heart. "Wu Leng, I suddenly make a bet with you."

"What does Your Majesty want to bet?" Wuling also became interested.

"Just bet on whether Guiren Deng will complain about this matter!" Liu Zhao looked very confident. "Didn't you say that Guiren Deng feels uncomfortable like this? I don't think so. I feel that she and I must be

She must understand the purpose of my doing so, and even if she didn't know it in advance, she would still know it."

Speaking of this, the gloom on Liu Zhao's face disappeared instantly. "I will bet on you a top-notch horse. If you win, I will ask you to choose the best one. But if I win

.The Southern Huns have many good horses. If you fight in front of the battlefield tomorrow, you have to win the best one for me."

"A word is determined." Wuling agreed readily.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyebrows were bright.

At this time, Yin Lingyue really felt it was hard to bear. The people sent out had not found out the news yet, but the palace was silent again. There was no movement at all.

Mo Li and Mo Yan were with the queen, and no one said anything easily.

The lights were pounding so hard. Yin Lingyue took the silver lamp, plucked the wick, and frowned and said, "It's so late. Did Your Majesty go to which palace to rest?"

"When the Empress said, after dinner, Your Majesty went to the Wang Meiren's place, sat down and left. At this time, in Zhangde Palace, no concubines were summoned to serve the bed." Mo Yan answered obediently.

"Your Majesty has seen the beautiful Wang?" Yin Lingyue couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't your Majesty have not talked to her for a long time? Why did you go to her place today?"

"I don't understand, but..." Mo Yu thought for a while and said, "I'm very troublesome, so I specially asked someone to go to Yingchun Palace to investigate. I didn't hear anything else. His Majesty just went over and sat down and said

Ordinary words. After His Majesty left, Concubine Liao also went and talked to Concubine Wang for a long time. At that time, Concubine Liao left his maid outside the door, as if she was afraid that someone would eavesdrop. So

The servants didn't hear what they were talking about."

Yin Lingyue did not rush to say anything, but asked Mo Li: "What do you think?"

Mo Li thought for a moment and said, "At this time, the most talked about in the palace must be the affairs of Concubine Deng. Concubine Liao must be unable to hold back and want to know what His Majesty said when he came to visit Concubine Wang.

Let’s set up a set of words from Beauty Wang and see how much she knows about Guiren Deng’s disappearance.”

"Yes, I think this is what I mean." Mo Yu quickly added: "My beauty Wang used to follow Guiren Deng. I think Guiren Liao would guess that she might know more. But I guess that Guiren Deng is very scheming, what's wrong?

It may not be possible for the beauty Wang to know. Concubine Liao must have gone there for nothing.”

"That may not be." Mo Li didn't think so.

However, as soon as she raised her objection, Mo Yan hated her for a moment. Do you have to tear my table in front of the Queen?

Pretending to be humble, she asked with a smile: "I wonder what Cai Nu thinks?"

Mo Li calmed down and said softly: "Guru Liao has always been arrogant and arrogant. If it were in the past, he would never be close to Meiren Wang. But recently, it seems that these two people have been dating more and more frequently. People whom they looked down upon before

, It is strange that he suddenly fell in love with it. In addition, when something happened in the palace, Concubine Liao hurried to Yingchun Palace, which shows that there is some involvement between the two people."

Yin Lingyue praised and smiled: "After all, you have a bright eye and a bright heart."

"Miss is a mistake, I am just arguing." Mo Li smiled and lowered her head.

This made Mo Yan even more uncomfortable. Why did Mo Li press her over and over again? Even now she is a girl, but she still refuses to let her, a little maid. Is it interesting to fight like this before the Queen’s New Year?

Of course, she did not show any dissatisfaction. She just listened silently and stopped talking.

"Empress..." An Gu called out softly outside the door.

"I'm back." Mo Qi hurried forward: "I'll invite him in now."

"Yeah." Yin Lingyue nodded slightly.

Mo Yu opened the door and Angu walked in quickly. He thought to the queen to report through the screen: "Empress, I'm asking around, and only said that there was a carriage that sent Guiren Deng out of the palace. But I went there in detail.

Where... the garrisons guarding the city gate were not aware of it. The garrisons escorting Deng Guiren out of the palace were all garrisons with faces. If they were not holding the token, no one would remember where they were on duty before."

"So cautious." Mo Li couldn't murmur.

"So what do you say in front of the emperor?" Yin Lingyue was a little unwilling.

"I have also asked the people in front of the emperor, and they all said that Your Majesty has been in a particularly bad mood these two days. She is even a little... moody. But no one knows what happened. Now even Wuling is waiting for His Majesty.

If you are a little careless, Your Majesty will smash cups at any time. He said that he has smashed more than a dozen of them in the past two days..."

"I am asking, don't the people in front of the emperor know how Deng Guiren offended His Majesty?" Yin Lingyue has been serving the emperor for many years, but it is rare to see the emperor get angry like this. But at this time, she still couldn't figure out how Deng Guiren offended him.

His Majesty.

"Empress, there is wind blowing out in the palace, but it is very different." An Gu didn't know which one was true. He naturally had to be careful when he replied in front of the queen.

Although it was late at night, Yin Lingyue still had no sleepiness. "Then you just talk slowly."

"No." An Gu thought for a while and said, "Some people say that Concubine Deng and Concubine Liang were particularly close and guilty of His Majesty. After all, Concubine Liang has never been valued by His Majesty, and even a little annoying. But Concubine Deng relied on her favor,

Have a dance with those your Majesty hates."

Mo Li shook her head when she heard this: "Miss, I think this is unreliable. Logically speaking, the one who is most intimate with Concubine Liang is not Guiren Deng, but Guiren Yao. If Your Majesty gets angry about this, he will not be angry with Guiren Yao.

And attack Deng Guiren.”

Yin Lingyue believed this very much: "Yes. Although Your Majesty doesn't like Concubine Liang, Concubine Deng is a smart person. He really won't ruin his future if he gets close to Concubine Liang. What else is there?"

"When the Queen said, there was another rumor in the palace, saying that the matter of Qinghe King and Guiren Deng was discovered by His Majesty." An Gu spoke in a low voice, for fear that others would hear his words.
