"Mr. Gu, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace to discuss matters."

The eunuch in red clothes spoke respectfully to Gu Zhao's attitude, bowed slightly, waiting for Gu Zhao's answer.

Gu Zhao smiled when he heard this.

The few who were arrested from the Queen's harem yesterday were all the queen's confidants.

After an interrogation for a night, under the means of Guan Chushi, even the most loyal one could not bear it and told me everything I knew.

Gu Zhao came here in the morning, and Chen Wei had already completed the integration of these confessions and handed them to her hands.

During the confession, Madam Qu's death had become the instruction of Queen Liu, who gave her a glass of poisonous wine, Madam Qu had to die of poison.

Because she was ordered to instruct Lin Xuerong to frame Gu Zhao, Lin Xuerong failed and Madam Qu was exposed, Empress Liu had to kill her and silence her.

As for why Empress Liu conspired to murder Gu Zhao, it was of course because of the instruction of Master Liu.

Gu Zhao was about to complain to the emperor, but the emperor sent someone to call her first, which was just right.

"It's a good father-in-law." Gu Zhao said politely, and after asking someone to reward the red-robed eunuch, he took him into the palace with him.

Qin Youzhen summoned Gu Zhao in the side hall where he lived.

He was wearing a regular dress and a jade crown. After Gu Zhao gave his salute, Qin Youzhen waved to Gu Zhao with a close look and asked Gu Zhao to come and sit down beside him.

Gu Zhao was not too polite. After all, she and Qin Youzhen have known each other for a long time. She saved Qin Youzhen's life and saw his most embarrassing moment. She also did not expect to get promoted and make money under Qin Youzhen. Naturally, she was in her heart. Not much awe.

"Gu Qing, I'm sorry to you." Qin Youzhen sighed and looked at Gu Zhao very sincerely, with guilt in his eyes, "Gu Qing made such a great contribution, but was framed by villains in the harem. It's all me Ineffective control.”

"Fortunately, Gu Qing is calm and witty and has not been successful by them. Otherwise, I would have no face to see you."

Gu Zhao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is the Liu family's conspiracy. How can you blame it on your head?"

Qin Youzhen was stunned for a moment, "The Liu family's conspiracy?"

Gu Zhao nodded and took out the file he carried with him, "Your Majesty, this is the confession obtained from the interrogation yesterday."

Qin Youzhen waved his hand, and an old eunuch suddenly appeared and took over the file from Gu Zhao.

"I will look back and see if I confess my conspiracy. Since Gu Qing is here, let me tell me what is the conspiracy of the Liu family."

Before Gu Zhao went to Kunning Palace to arrest people yesterday, he had already used the privileges of the commander of the Crane Control Command to submit a secret note to Qin Youzhen, which was considered to have been reported in advance by Qin Youzhen.

In the secret note, Gu Zhao completely told the whole story of Hu Ying's death and his own false accusation.

Now Gu Zhao continued to talk about the situation in Kunning Palace yesterday, and then roughly described the content of the confession.

"So I have reason to think that the fact that the old master Liu attacked me was actually colluding with Yuan Zhimei and Donghao, with the intention of not being good for Bei'an and His Majesty."

Qin Youzhen's face became serious, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Of course I believe what Gu Qing said. But now, the confession can only say that the queen intends to frame Gu Qing, but it is impossible to prove that Master Liu is also involved, let alone It proves that he had secret interactions with Yuan Zhimei and even Donghao people."

He looked at Gu Zhao apologetically, "Gu Qing, I believe you, but although I am the king of a country, I cannot punish the queen or the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet for no reason. This will cause chaos in the court and panic. Gu Qing must have thought I can also understand my difficulties."

Gu Zhao curled his lips and smiled, "Of course I know. However, the Queen's framed me, all the people and physical evidence. Isn't Your Majesty ready to preside over justice for me?"

Qin Youzhen looked embarrassed, "What do Gu Qing want?"

Gu Zhao snorted coldly in his heart, knowing that Qin Youzhen said it nicely, but in fact he didn't really want to support her.

However, her face was full of sincerity. "Your Majesty, the eyeliner left by the Crane Division in Liu Ge Lao's mansion, found out that Liu Ge Lao's eldest son Liu Boqing and Liu Shen, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, often meet in private these days, but I am afraid that

Already have two hearts.”

"If the Liu family has the intention of being unjust, first get rid of the ministers and then harm His Majesty, the queen can support the eldest prince to ascend the throne and take over the power of himself; or if the old master Liu directly imitates the story of Emperor Wen of Wei, it is not known."

Qin Youzhen's face suddenly turned dark.

In fact, he was always worried about this possibility, but he didn't expect Gu Zhao to say it so bluntly.

"If Your Majesty doesn't take action first, and take advantage of the opportunity of King Li in the capital to take action, if King Li returns to the northern border in the future, who else can shock His Majesty these evil people?"

Qin Youzhen's expression was extremely contradictory.

"What are your concerns?" Gu Zhao knew that Qin Youzhen must have a headache at this time.

On the one hand, he wanted to use the power of the Liu family to find those holders of the Wu Emperor's will hidden in the dark. Only by completely eliminating these people can Qin Youzhen feel at ease;

But on the other hand, the Liu family took advantage of the emperor's opportunity to delegate power and began to expand, with increasing ambitions, which had already threatened the emperor's safety.

Destroying the Liu family is to damage one's own power; indulging the Liu family is to threaten one's own life.
