At noon, Murong Gu brought Zhao Ge and Mo Huan into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

Walking along the long stone road, with palace walls towering into the sky on both sides, the sky was overcast. There was a muffled thunder, and the air pressure was so low that it was hard to breathe.

In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager was not very happy to allow Zhaoge to come in.

The elegant and graceful woman sat on the rosewood beauty couch, the golden hairpins in her hair swaying slightly, attracting the attention of the child in her arms.

Zhao Ge knelt on the ground and said, "I pay my respects to the Grand Empress Dowager."

"Come on, you and I are old acquaintances. Just tell me what I want to say." The Empress Dowager teased the fair and tender baby.

"However, if you want to speak up for Yuan Jinglie, there is really no need. The evidence of his treason is solid, and the ministers are furious. I will definitely send troops to kill him to appease the public anger."

Zhao Ge kowtowed on the ground and said, "The Empress Dowager has misunderstood. I, a commoner, will not speak for a traitor."

The Empress Dowager looked at her with some surprise, and a deep look flashed across her eyes.

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course." Zhao Ge said, "I am here to see Your Majesty today to uncover Yuan Jinglie's greatest secret. This matter is of great importance, so Your Majesty, please disperse all irrelevant people in the palace."

The Empress Dowager stared at Zhaoge, as if considering it. After a moment, she held the little emperor to the nanny beside her and said, "You all leave first."

"Yes."

There were only the two of them left in the hall, and it was so quiet that one could even hear hair falling to the ground.

The Empress Dowager changed her posture and said calmly, "Now, you can speak."

"Yuan Jinglie is a descendant of the Jing family."

"!!!"

This was a bolt from the blue.

The Empress Dowager straightened up her lazy body immediately, her eyes widened, "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you have any evidence?"

"How dare I speak so arrogantly in front of you without any evidence?"

Zhao Ge hid the coldness in her eyes, looked at the Empress Dowager's expression that changed instantly, and continued to say firmly: "I heard Yuan Jinglie talking to his subordinates with my own ears. They were looking for evidence to overturn the Jing family's case."

"And you should have heard, Grand Empress Dowager, that General Jing has a heterochromatic eye. Yuan Jinglie's eye is also heterochromatic. That's why he always wears an eye patch."

The Empress Dowager thought carefully and realized that she had never seen Yuan Jinglie take off his blindfold.

Previously, everyone thought that he had an eye disease and that was why he could not show his face to others.

I didn't expect that he had heterochromia?

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was still skeptical, Zhao Ge continued, "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to Pingyang to look for him. He used to beg for a living there, and there must be someone who remembers his eyes."

The Empress Dowager stared at her with a determined look, and her heart was already shaken.

This woman was Yuan Jinglie’s former lover...her words are trustworthy.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager, who had reacted, immediately went with the flow: "Great, no wonder Yuan Jinglie wanted to rebel, it turns out he was holding a grudge against the Jing family!"

Zhao Ge immediately pleaded: "If the Queen Mother does not mind, I am willing to serve Da Chu like a dog or a horse."

"You? What can you do."

"Yuan Jinglie is a master at using troops. Qingzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, this is a civil war in Da Chu. If a war breaks out, both sides will become anxious. No matter who wins, it will damage Da Chu's national strength."

As Zhaoge spoke, every analysis he made made sense.

The Queen Mother realized that she had underestimated this woman and nodded: "Go on."

"And I used to have a relationship with Yuan Jinglie, so he won't be too defensive against me. Therefore, I will go to Qingzhou and attack him by surprise when he is least prepared."

Zhao Ge said calmly, "I hope the Empress Dowager will give me a chance to serve you."

"Good!" The Empress Dowager said immediately, "If you can get rid of this traitor for Da Chu, I will give you a lifetime of wealth and glory! You will be a hero praised by everyone in Da Chu."

The Empress Dowager was very confident and she didn't think Zhaoge was lying to her.

Even Yuan Jinglie's life story was revealed, which showed that this woman really hated Yuan Jinglie.

Zhao Ge kowtowed again and said word by word: "I will definitely fulfill my mission."

...

In the afternoon, a carriage drove out of the Chai'an city gate.

The driver in front was a eunuch from the Cining Palace. He looked shrewd and was sent by the Empress Dowager to keep an eye on Zhao Ge.

Zhaoge and Mohuan sat in the car, silent all the way.

After traveling for a day and a night, the carriage finally arrived at the woods near Qingzhou City.

This city is ready for battle like an iron barrel.

The eunuch got off the carriage, looked around the front, and then went back: "How do you get in?"

Zhao Ge had already gotten off the carriage and said calmly, "Just go ahead."

"Are you so confident that he won't kill you?"

"Of course." A meaningful smile flashed in her eyes.

The eunuch seemed to have sensed something and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.

Blood dripped onto the ground.

The eunuch stared at Zhao Ge in disbelief, but she smiled faintly: "But, I will kill you."

"Miss!" Mo Huan loosened his hand that was holding the knife in fear, his face turned pale with fright.

"I killed someone... I..."

Zhao Ge immediately went forward and hugged her, "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here. If we don't kill him, we will be the ones to die."

"Miss, what should we do next?" Mo Huan was comforted by her and finally calmed down.

"The reason they dared to frame A Lie for treason is that they must have controlled A Lie. He should be in the government prison." Zhao Ge said, "We have to save him."

She had almost guessed the Empress Dowager's plan.

First, kill the group of people brought by A Lie, leaving A Lie isolated and helpless. Once he arrives in Qingzhou, he will be plotted against by the people in the government office.

At this time, they took advantage of the fact that he was imprisoned and had no way to prove his innocence, framed him for rebelling against Qingzhou, and then pretended to send troops to attack Qingzhou.

It's nothing more than a play performed for the people of the world.

And she would never let the Yuwen family succeed.

Zhao Ge took Mo Huan and went directly to the outskirts of Qingzhou City.

The soldiers on the city gate shouted at her: "Who are you? Qingzhou has closed the city gates, please go back!"

Zhao Ge shouted loudly: "I am here on the orders of the Empress Dowager!"

The soldiers seemed to be discussing something. Someone went back to report. After a while, he came back and said, "Open the city gate!"

The city gate opened wide and the two women entered Qingzhou City.

Every inch of the air here seems to be filled with a solemn atmosphere.

As soon as Zhao Ge entered the city, someone took her to the government office.

"Please wait a moment, our Lord Gao will be here soon." said the soldier.

Zhao Ge nodded: "Thank you for your help."

While waiting, she felt that every second seemed like a year.

Even though she had already thought about how to deal with it, she was still a little nervous.

After a moment, a tall figure stopped at the entrance of the main hall.

The man had a cold expression, with a look of extreme vigilance in his eyes. However, when he saw the back of the woman in the hall, he paused.

"Zhao Zhao?"

Zhao Ge was also stunned for a moment, his mind was in a mess, and he looked back in surprise.

"Young Master Yuan!?" Mo Huan's voice came first.

Yuan Jinglie's eyes were filled with ecstasy, and he rushed forward and hugged Zhaoge tightly, "How did you get here? Why would the Empress Dowager let you go?"

Zhao Ge was completely stunned.

Things were completely different from what she thought.

Ali is not imprisoned, he is free.

Could it be that the rebellion was true...?
