People looked back and found that it was Shi Heqian, the governor of Yongzhou, who spoke.

According to the usual practice, the Yongzhou pastor is a fictitious position, and Changshi is acting as the state minister. Therefore, the position of this Yongzhou governor is from the third grade, and he is one of the high-ranking ~ officials of the imperial court.

But despite this, there are many high-ranking ~ officials on the scene, and without Wu Zetian's permission, He Qian's exclamation is already suspected of being a loss of honor in front of the king.

Since Wu Yizong took office as the pastor of Yongzhou, he has received the active cooperation of He Qian, and has always had a good impression of him, and said: "Lord He is a civil official, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Tell you, this Cui Xiufang is "Nanyin Niang", the art of striking is unmatched in the world, and she is the first master in the world. โ€

He Qian was a little ignorant, and said, "Hmph, what is the number one master in the world?" The rivers and lakes are reckless, and the law is chaotic with force, how can you protect Your Majesty? โ€

"This ......" Wu Yizong was of course happy to see He Qian and Cui Geng, but he couldn't watch him hit the muzzle of the gun!

He had no choice but to say: "So that He Changshi can learn that Cui Xiufang is not only Cui Jingzhao's concubine, but also once saved the driver, and was named the lady of the fifth rank by His Majesty." โ€

"That won't let her drive either!"

"Why not?"

"The person who escorts Your Majesty has his own custom, what is it to add one person at random? Could it be that without Cui Xiufang, there is no way to guarantee His Majesty's safety? โ€

"With Xiufang, my safety is more guaranteed!"

Wu Zetian still has a fresh memory of the Chengjun prison stabbing case, but he never wants to go through it again, and said: "It's so decided, don't say anything more about He Changshi." Cui Xiufang escorted and entered the city. โ€

"Yes!" Cui Xiufang stepped forward, with a short sword on her hips, and stood behind Wu Zetian.

He Qian opened his mouth, and finally said, "Weichen...... Obey! โ€

Immediately, with Wu Yizong's Imperial Forest Army as the first leader, Wu Zetian's Luan drove off, crossed the Baqiao, passed through Changle Slope, passed through Mingde Gate, and entered Chang'an City.

Go north from Suzaku Street all the way, pass through Suzaku Gate, pass through the Imperial City, and come to Chengtian Gate.

The three hundred female soldiers were heroic and energetic, standing on both sides of the royal street.

A large number of eunuchs and palace maids who stayed behind in the original Chang'an Palace City gathered outside the Suzaku Gate, knelt on their knees, and shouted: "Welcome Your Majesty back to the palace, see long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" โ€

"Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The eunuchs and maids got up, separated left and right according to the rules, and made way of the middle road.

Wu Zetian led Li Nunu, the princess of Jincheng, Gao Lishi on the left, Shangguan Wan'er on the right, Cui Xiufang and Wu Zhuang accompanied him, and walked forward under the escort of eighty-one eunuchs and palace maids.

At this time, the ministers could not continue to keep up, because the next step was for Wu Zetian to inherit the gate of heaven, personally read the edict, and change the Yuan to Chang'an.

According to the rules, everyone had to bow three times and bow nine times below, dancing hand in hand, to express support for Her Majesty's decision.

But when Wu Zetian and the others were just halfway there, a loud shout suddenly came out from the group of eunuchs and palace maids, saying, "Kill!" โ€

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Suddenly, more than a dozen crossbow arrows rushed towards Wu Zetian's direction, and four or five eunuchs immediately fell to the ground with arrows!

Immediately after, dozens of eunuchs and palace maids showed their short blades, shouted "kill the demon woman", and rushed forward.

"Thieves dare!"

Cui Xiufang's body turned sharply, like a whirlwind, dancing a short sword in her hand, knocking all the crossbow arrows that were close to Wu Zetian flying.

Then, armed with a short sword, he guarded Her Majesty's side.

In an instant, several people were killed!

Of course, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and the tiger can't stand the wolves. There are a few masters in this group, if they desperately want to kill Wu Zetian, after a long time, Cui Xiufang really can't stop it.

But aren't there still three hundred female soldiers? With the time that Cui Xiufang delayed, it was enough.

"Kill the assassin and protect Your Majesty!"

All the delicate women shouted, and rushed forward together, like chopping melons and vegetables, killing dozens of people in an instant.

Cui Geng exclaimed: "Keep it alive!" โ€

"Yes!"

Only then did the female soldiers stop, and a total of two palace maids and more than ten eunuchs were arrested.

Wu Zetian was already sweating in fright at this time, she couldn't be afraid, the palace maids and eunuchs who were hit by the crossbow arrows were all killed, no need to ask, the crossbow arrows were coated with poison that sealed the throat with blood.

It can be seen that if there is no Cui Xiufang guarding him today, he will be dead!

Wu Zetian's voice trembled a little and said, "Huh? How many more days do I live? Can't you wait? โ€

As he spoke, he looked coldly and swept around.

Wu Sansi? Wu Yizong? Li Xian? Li Dan? Prime Minister Zhang Cambodia? Or is it ...... The Zhang brothers?

To be honest, Wu Zetian felt that these people were suspicious. Even the personal eunuch Wu Zhuang and even Gao Lishi are not trustworthy.

Only Cui Geng, who stopped this matter, is worthy of absolute trust, but only today, people's hearts are fickle!

"The emperor is really lonely and widowed." Suddenly, Her Majesty the Empress sighed leisurely and said, "Start driving the Taiji Palace, I want to try this case!" โ€

"Yes!"

The eunuchs and palace maids of the former Chang'an Palace City were all imprisoned and waited for their fate. All courtiers, princes and other qualified people came to Taiji Palace with Her Majesty the Empress.

After such a long buffer, Wu Zetian also stabilized his emotions, glanced around, and said, "Before trying the case, let's talk about the reward." Xiufang! โ€

Cui Xiufang bowed solemnly and said: "The concubine is here!" โ€

Wu Zetian said gently: "You have a meritorious role in saving the driver, what reward do you want?" โ€

"This ......"

Cui Xiufang originally wanted to say that it was her duty to be loyal to His Majesty, and she didn't want any reward.

However, she changed her mind a little, but said: "The concubine is now pregnant, if it is a boy, please also ask Your Majesty to give a seven-grade Wen Linlang." โ€

"Huh? Pregnant? โ€

Cui Xiufang is pregnant, no need to ask, it was Cui Genggan.

Because the two have the same surname and are not married, this child is not even a concubine, how can parents not feel deeply indebted? Cui Xiufang's request is very reasonable.

Wu Zetian was also happy to do this favor, and said: "Seven-grade Wen Linlang is not enough to reward Xiufang for your rescue work, I promise you now: if it is a boy, he will be named Xuanyi Lang from the sixth grade." If it's a girl......"

Sealing an unmarried woman as a decree, in fact, there is no such rule in all dynasties. At the beginning, Wu Zetian named Cui Xiufang as his wife, because everyone knew the relationship between her and Cui Geng, and it was impossible to marry in this life anyway, so if it was sealed, it would be sealed. But if it is the daughter of Enfeng Cui Xiufang, it is not suitable.

Wu Zetian thought for a moment and said, "I will give her a name, just Cui Lin." โ€

"Concubine Xie Your Majesty Longen!"

Her Majesty the Empress gave her a name, and people would not despise this woman because of her "unknown origin". Even if Li Xian succeeds to the throne in the future, she will have to admit her mother's account!

Cui Xiufang's thanks are really sincere.

Later, Wu Zetian said again: "Cui Jingzhao." โ€

"Wechen is here!"

"I ordered you to try this case on your behalf, and if you can find out the truth, you will be rewarded."

To put it bluntly, Her Majesty's royal trial is just an observant. If she really argues with people, it will be too cheap.

Cui Geng said: "Weichen obeys the order!" But...... Weichen thought that before trying this case, there was still a case that needed to be investigated. โ€

"What case?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen got a report today, and among the "patrol police" under my command today, many people have diarrhea, and it seems that they have taken laxatives by mistake. Wechen conjecture...... Could this have something to do with today's stabbing case? โ€

"Huh? And what else is there? โ€

Wu Zetian instantly thought of the assassination case of Chengjunjian, and at that time, all the students and even Sergeant Yulin were poisoned.

She looked at Wu Yizong and said, "King of Hanoi, did anyone in the Yulin Army under your command also take laxatives by mistake?" โ€

"I ......"

Hearing Her Majesty the Empress ask this, Wu Yizong couldn't help but turn over in his heart and secretly screamed bad!

He understood that the laxatives among those under Cui Geng were arranged by himself. Usually I can still vague the past, but today...... If this is to touch the melon along the vine and touch your own body...... The consequences are unimaginable! There is no need to talk about any conclusive evidence for this kind of thing, even if the emperor is just suspicious, he will have to peel off the skin if he doesn't die!

And the most critical thing is that Cui Geng doesn't need to investigate the case. His men took laxatives by mistake, but his own men did not take them. said that he had nothing to do with the thief who assassinated the king, who would believe it?

What to do? What to do?

Alas, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Zadamuyu's plan, this is a pitfall, and it's all a bad idea!

Wu Yizong's mind was racing, and a fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

But at this moment, someone suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, in the Yulin army under the command of the King of Hanoi, there are indeed people who have taken laxatives by mistake. Alas, the power of the thief seems to be indeed not small! โ€

Well? Who is talking nonsense with their eyes open? What a great man he is! It's just such a big thing, are you sure you can really handle it?

Wu Yizong looked back with excitement!
