C141 Kunning palace

Back then when Zhao Chen killed Zhe Keqiu, Lin Bao was still fetching the wine from behind!

However, Lin Bao still managed to slash through that shocking scene. After that, his heart leapt in fear as he hid in a corner of the Preservation Hall!

After Zhao Chen left the palace, Kang An took over the Managed and even found Lin Bao in the Preservation Hall! But Kang An did not know how to handle Lin Bao either! Although Lin Bao was also considered Zhe Keqiu's trusted subordinate, but in the past, Lin Bao and Zhao Chen's relationship seemed to be very good! So Kang An locked Lin Bao in Dry Clear Palace for the time being, and only waited for Zhao Chen to come back and deal with him!

"Mercy, Your Majesty!" At that moment, Lin Bao's body was trembling, seeing Zhao Chen coming in, he anxiously kneeled down.

"What are you guilty of?" Zhao Chen said indifferently.

"Your Majesty, I should not have followed Zhe Keqiu and betrayed the sect. I should not have listened to his orders!" Lin Bao hurriedly said.

"You followed Zhe Keqiu? Do you listen to his orders? What do you mean? " Zhao Chen said.

"Back then, I was only a poor scholar. It was Zhe Keqiu's son, Zhe Yanwen, who found me and told me to castrate him before entering the palace! I followed their orders and entered the Imperial Palace. Inside the Imperial Palace, no matter what His Majesty does, I must report it to Zhe Keqiu and his son! Your Majesty, I am guilty! Please forgive me, Your Majesty! " Lin Bao said in fear.

Lin Bao was truly exceptionally terrifying at this moment! He had been in the Imperial Palace from October last year, and it had been a long time since then! In this period of time, he was with Zhao Chen everyday, and he thought that he already had a very good understanding of Zhao Chen! From his point of view, Zhao Chen was only an unconscious king. Other than his good temperament on the surface, there was nothing else good about him! He thought Zhao Chen only knew how to hunt and knew how to be a carpenter. He thought Zhao Chen was gentle and weak, barely able to withstand a single blow. That night, when he saw Zhao Chen kill Zhe Keqiu, Zhao Chen's expression did not change at all. He knew that he was completely wrong, he knew that he had completely misjudged Zhao Chen! At this moment, he did not dare to hide anything as he told his everything that he had done!

"Who else is in your family?" Zhao Chen said.

"And my mother in the hall!" "I still have a concubine and a son, but I won't have the face to see them again after I'm castrated. I just want to see them again after I become rich!" Lin Bao Dao.

"Very well, you have not hidden anything from me!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Zhao Chen had already investigated Lin Bao's situation and found out about these things!

"Your Majesty is so wise, how could this servant dare to hide it from you?" Lin Bao kowtowed and said.

"Is he wise? I'm afraid in your heart, I'm just an unconscious king! " Zhao Chen laughed.

"In the past, this servant was blind, and only she would have such thoughts in her heart! From now on, this servant would never dare to have such thoughts again! Please forgive me, Your Majesty! " Lin Bao Dao.

"That day, I said that I would give you the status of Tong Tong, Liang Shicheng, and Yang Jian. Do you still remember?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, this humble servant absolutely does not dare to have such extravagant hopes!" As long as I don't die, this humble servant will be extremely grateful! " Lin Bao Dao.

"Get up first!" Zhao Chen said.

"If Your Majesty does not forgive this servant, this servant will not dare to stand up!" Lin Bao cried.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you!" Zhao Chen remained silent for a moment, and said.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lin Bao's face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression!

Zhao Chen carefully thought about it, he felt that although Lin Bao followed Zhe Keqiu at that time, it was only because Zhe Keqiu was powerful! Lin Bao was a very obedient person and could be considered a standard villain! Such a despicable person naturally had his own uses!

Before the incident, he had decided to execute Lin Bao. But at this moment, he truly had control over the situation. His thoughts had changed! He decided to let Lin Bao live for now and see if there was anything he could use in the future!

Lin Bao had already stood up. With some apprehension, he asked, "Your Majesty, where will this servant go from now on?"

Zhao Chen said: "You should still follow me!"

Zhao Chen ignored him after he finished speaking and walked into the Dry Clear Palace!

Reaching the Dry Clear Palace, Zhao Chen realized that there was another person kneeling on the ground! He looked honest and honest, his body was shivering. He was Zhao Chen's carpenter, Wang Pu!

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Seeing Zhao Chen coming in, Wang Pu also quickly knelt down and kowtowed!

So, after Kang An caught Lin Bao, he thought that Wang Pu was also one of the main culprits that led to Zhao Chen's "fall" and thus brought him from home to the Dry Clear Palace! Wang Pu had already known what was happening in the Imperial Palace and knew that he had become Zhe Keqiu's "accomplice"! Zhe Keqiu was unscrupulous, he had been killed, and he, Wang Pu, as the accomplice, would most likely not have a good ending! Therefore, his heart was also full of terror!

"Get up! What was this!? "Speaking of which, you are my teacher!" Zhao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

From one look, Wang Pu could tell that he was an honest and sincere person. This kind of person had only coincidentally participated in Zhe Keqiu's incident due to luck, and he himself didn't even realize that he would become a "accomplice"! Towards such an honest person, Zhao Chen really did not plan to pursue the matter!

"Your Majesty, I taught Your Majesty how to be a carpenter, causing Your Majesty to become the world's most despicable man! This lowly one deserves to die a thousand times! " Wang Pu still could not get up, and said.

"Alright, get up. I'll spare you!" From now on, I will not learn how to be a carpenter from you, but if the palace needs tables, chairs, chairs, or other carpentry, I will still look for you! "You can still be considered my teacher. I've missed you every now and then, and I've called you over to the palace!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Is this for real? " Wang Pu was in disbelief.

"Of course it's true! You can get up first! " Zhao Chen said.

Immediately, Wang Pu stood up, Lin Bao who was at the side was extremely envious, he knew that he was different from Wang Pu! Wang Pu did not have any bad intentions, but he had some bad intentions, and thus, Zhao Chen's attitude towards Wang Pu and toward him was completely different!

While envious, Lin Bao was also rejoicing at the fact that he managed to escape with his life. He secretly learnt his lesson, and felt that the reason why he had fallen to such a state was mainly because he did not know how to judge a person, and did not see what kind of person Zhao Chen was! He swore in his heart that he would follow Zhao Chen and never do anything that would change his mind!

"Kang An, how is Zheyue Ru?" Zhao Chen stood in the middle of the Dry Clear Palace for a while and suddenly asked.

The moment Zhao Chen entered the palace, Kang An had already come to pay respects, and he had been by his side the entire time!

"Your Majesty, she is in Kunning Palace! His Majesty said that he would force her into the cold palace, but right now, there are only a few palaces in the palace, and no special cold palace. Kang An said.

"Take me to see her!" Zhao Chen said.

Kang An hesitated for a moment, then brought Zhao Chen and headed towards the Kunning Palace!

Originally, Kang An wanted to admonish Zhao Chen, telling him not to be infatuated with women! On the day of the wedding, Yue Fei let Zhao Chen kill Zheyue Ru. At that time, Zhao Chen did not agree to it, but now that Zhao Chen had just returned to the palace, he immediately wanted to see Zheyue Ru. However, Kang An was different from Yue Fei. Yue Fei's personality was straightforward, he felt that he would immediately say what he had to advise, while Kang An had to figure out the Emperor's thoughts, if the Emperor did not like it, he would not say it!

A dozen or so guards stood at the entrance of the Kunning Palace. When these guards saw Zhao Chen arriving, they all knelt down and kowtowed!

Zhao Chen did not say anything, and walked towards the Kunning Palace with large strides!

Kang An pondered for a moment and decided to stay outside!

Just as he entered the Kunning Palace, Zhao Chen heard the sound of a zither!

The melodious sound of the zither was accompanied by a trace of anxiety!

Zhao Chen stopped, waited for the sound of the zither to end, and continued forward!

In a room in front of them, a white-clothed woman was sitting cross-legged in front of a zither. A 12 to 13 year old maid was beside her!

Hearing the noise outside, the white-clothed woman lifted her head. She was beautiful, only her face was incomparably pale, and she looked somewhat haggard!

"Your Majesty!" The woman in white was startled, and her eyes revealed a complex expression. There was sadness, pain, conflict, and hatred!

But in the end, she chose to kneel on the ground and welcome Zhao Chen's arrival!

"You know about what happened outside?" Zhao Chen said indifferently.

"Yes!" I know! My father rebelled, and on the day of their wedding, he attempted to kill the Emperor, and thus was killed by His Majesty! " Zheyue Ru gritted her teeth lightly and said after a while.

"Actually, he did not kill the monarch! He was only oppressing me at every turn, with the thought of taking the son of the heavens to command the dukes in his heart! He wants me to become a puppet so that I can replace him as the emperor of the Central Plains in the future! I had the intention to kill him long ago, but I never found the opportunity! From last year to this year's great wedding, we finally have a chance! " Zhao Chen said.

Zheyue Ru kneeled there without saying a word, but her eyes were already red!

"Your father, your two elder brothers have already been killed! Don't you have anything to say? " Zhao Chen said.

"Your majesty, why don't you kill Yue Ru together?" Zheyue Ru suddenly raised her head, and said while clenching her teeth.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, and they started dripping down one by one! However, the expression on her face was incomparably stubborn. She did not extend her hand to wipe away the tears, allowing them to flow as they pleased!

"Your father is guilty, and your two elder brothers are guilty. You are not guilty, so why should I kill you?" Zhao Chen said.

"Father committed treason and treason. According to the rules, nine generations of men should be killed!" I am the direct daughter of my father, so naturally I should be killed! Could it be that when His Majesty saw Yue Ru's beautiful appearance, he felt pity for her in his heart and wanted to let her go? If His Majesty has really done so, it can only be said that His Majesty is still an unconscious king and will not be able to pass this trial of beauty! " Zheyue Ru did not know why she said those words!

Maybe she just wanted to enrage Zhao Chen and let him kill her!

"Even though you are Zhe Keqiu's daughter, you have already married into the Imperial Palace. We have already issued an imperial edict bestowing you the title of Empress! Once a woman marries, her father has nothing to do with her, so his crime won't involve you! If you have any needs, you can ask the palace maids and guards for them. If they are unable to do so, you can ask them to come and find me! I'll be leaving first. I'll come see you again when I have time! " Zhao Chen was quiet for a moment, then sighed and turned to leave!

Looking at Zhao Chen's back figure, Zheyue Ru still remained kneeling there, unceasingly crying. She no longer said anything, and she did not know what she should say either!

In her heart, Zhao Chen's image was constantly changing! In the beginning, Zhao Chen was an unconscious king, he was extremely unconscious and incompetent. He only knew how to hunt and be a carpenter every day, he was the role model for the unconscious king for generations to come. Later on, when she first met Zhao Chen in the Li Palace's garden, the impression Zhao Chen gave her was that of gentleness and talent! When it was the Spring Festival, she pitied Zhao Chen. She felt that Zhao Chen's parents and relatives had been kidnapped by the Nvzhen and Zhao Chen was very lonely, so she didn't care about her bashfulness and came to the imperial palace to accompany Zhao Chen! She thought that after she entered the palace, she could advise Zhao Chen to stop hunting and becoming a carpenter for the whole day and allow Zhao Chen to become an enlightened lord! She was extremely terrified. But other than that, she was also extremely worried for Zhao Chen, afraid that something might have happened in the imperial palace, and that Zhao Chen might be in danger! But who knew that early the next morning, she would be informed that her father had attempted to kill the monarch, and had been killed by Zhao Chen! At that time, the image of Zhao Chen in her heart had already completely shattered. Zhao Chen was no longer gentle, multi-talented, but instead was ruthless and heartless! She had only just met Zhao Chen, and once again felt a sense of absent-mindedness in her heart. She felt that she had never met Zhao Chen before, and that Zhao Chen was as if he was a stranger! Zhao Chen was also not a teenager, but a complete adult! Zhao Chen didn't need her to pity him, but she needed Zhao Chen's pity instead!

She knelt there for a long time, her tears making her clothes wet!

Her maidservant, who had been hiding in a corner in fear, finally walked up to her and said, "Miss, His Majesty has already left. Please get up quickly!"

Zheyue Ru nodded lightly and stood up!

The maidservant said, "Miss, His Majesty did not kill you. It looks like we can still stay in the palace!"

Zheyue Ru laughed bitterly and said: "Why are we staying in the palace? My father and brother are already dead. Even though I wasn't killed, I am the daughter of a traitor, and will be imprisoned in the Cold Palace for the rest of my life! If you want to live like this, you might as well die! "

The servant girl said, "Young miss is still the empress! His Majesty did not deprive the young mistress of her position as Empress! It seems like His Majesty still likes the young mistress! Miss only needs to endure it for the time being and will live a good life in the future! "

Zheyue Ru gently shook her head. Her gaze was a little hazy, and after a long while, she muttered: "How can Father have any disrespect towards Your Majesty? How could his father have the thought of taking the son of heaven for a duke? His Majesty must have misunderstood his words. It must be so … There must be a traitor that had bewitched His Majesty, allowing him to kill his father … "I must find this traitor, I must avenge my father …"
