The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.
Chapter 407: Throwing dirty water
Zhao Zhen knew what Qin Wan had experienced in the Li family, but Li Guozhu was a cunning man.
Before he attacked Changxin City, this man surrendered with the remnants of Shang Yunze.
With this title, Zhao Zhen had no reason to deal with him. Later, Li Guozhu sent troops to help destroy the Western Qiang.
Zhao Zhen couldn't touch him, otherwise he would lose his reputation as the emperor.
Other military generals outside the palace will also not be able to trust the royal family.
However, now we have completely turned from passive to active.
Zhao Zhen looked at Qin Wan's excited expression and smiled indulgently, "So, the Queen has really solved a difficult problem for me."
Qin Wan blinked and said, "I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing as assassination, hahaha!"
Zhao Zhen: “….”
Although Zhao Zhen thought that being able to control Li Guozhu was a good thing, he didn't want Qin Wan to be in danger, "Don't talk nonsense."
Qin Wan understood what Zhao Zhen meant, "I have already asked someone to notify Li Guozhu to enter the palace. I believe he will be here soon."
"In addition, I also summoned Cao Xia to enter the palace."
Zhao Zhen was curious, "Why is this?"
Qin Wan expressed her suspicions, "I think Liu's attitude is not right. When she heard me say that Li Chunhua was still alive, her attitude was very strange."
At the same time, I also want to know why Liu treated the original owner so torturously.
Qin Wan kept these words in her heart and didn't say them out loud.
Soon, a palace servant reported that Li Guozhu had arrived at Kunning Palace.
"Invite him in!"
Li Guozhu walked into the hall in a hurry.
I felt relieved to see Qin Wan was safe and sound. It was good news that she was not injured.
There is still a possibility that the wife may be alive.
Li Guozhu immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, I, Li Guozhu, pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress!"
Zhao Zhen did not shout, but looked at Li Guozhu with a sullen face, "General Li, you are so brave that you actually brought an assassin into the capital!"
Li Guozhu immediately begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I dare not, I have no idea about this matter."
Li Guozhu came in just now and just glanced at Qin Wan. After not seeing him for many years, this niece has changed a lot, even her aura has changed.
"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding. Although I am not the Queen's uncle, I have raised her for many years. My family's love for her is clear to all. How could I lead someone to assassinate her?"
"My wife must have been bewitched by those two women from the Western Regions."
When Li Guozhu said this, he looked at Qin Wan, hoping that she would speak up for him as her uncle.
As soon as Li Guozhu came up, he talked about the grace of raising Qin Wan, and also reminded Qin Wan not to forget her roots.
Qin Wan looked at Li Guozhu with a smile. After not seeing him for so many years, this man was still so self-righteous.
"Lord Li is really eloquent, but Madam Ling didn't say that. She said that the two beauties were specially sent to the capital by the Li Mansion to be my sisters and to serve the emperor together."
"Could it be that the two assassins did not want to assassinate me, but wanted to assassinate the emperor?"
"Could it be that General Li is planning a rebellion?"
Qin Wan's sarcastic words immediately irritated Li Guozhu.
He frowned, feeling annoyed. His niece had changed so much.
His status has changed, and he no longer takes his uncle seriously.
Li Guozhu immediately looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention. I am loyal to the Yan Dynasty and have no second thoughts."
"That woman from the Western Regions must have deceived my wife. My family has no intention of treason."
Qin Wan played the good guy, and Zhao Zhen had to play the bad guy.
"General Li, please stand up. I know your true intentions. Even though the two assassins were indeed brought in by Madam Ling, we still need to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Zhao Zhen also wanted to keep Li Guozhu, even if it was just to be a mascot, he had to stay in Chang'an City for his former subordinates to see.
Otherwise, the general who returned victoriously would be dealt with by the royal family immediately, and people outside the court would have no idea what was going on.
It is hard to guarantee that the generals stationed in various places will not have second thoughts.
Li Guozhu felt relieved when he heard Zhao Zhen ask him to stand up.
The Li family was not charged with treason, so they were able to save their lives.
Although he knew that the emperor would not kill him, he could not feel at peace until there was a final conclusion.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if I can see my wife and the two assassins!"
Zhao Zhen looked at Qin Wan, "Is he in the palace? Or in prison?"
Qin Wan said: "Still in the palace!"
Qin Wan shouted outside, "Bring the people up."
Soon, the guards outside the palace brought Liu and the two Western women into the hall.
When Liu saw her husband, her depressed look suddenly became lively, as if she had found her backbone.
"Husband, husband, you have to save me."
Liu was so scared that tears came to her eyes. She knew that she had gotten into too big a trouble this time.
Li Guozhu felt a little disgusted when he saw Liu, whose face was covered with tears and snot.
However, now is not the time to mind this. He questioned in front of Zhao Zhen and Qin Wan, "Tell me, what's going on with these two people?"
"On the way back, I clearly cleaned up a lot of women!"
Li Guozhu had no intention of hiding anything. After all, there were so many people on the way back to Beijing, and so many eyes were watching.
Even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't, because he knew his wife just wanted to make things difficult for the Queen.
Now, we are not afraid of the emperor and empress knowing about this.
Compared with the Li family's serious crime of conspiracy to rebel, personal grudges are insignificant.
He really wanted to strangle his wife to death now. As a surrendered official, his reputation was already blemished.
Now is the time when people will doubt his sincerity in surrendering.
What a woman who is not good at doing anything but always makes troubles!!!
Liu had long lost her previous arrogance. She just wanted to survive. She sobbed, "I... I didn't know she... They knew Kung Fu and carried weapons with them!"
"My husband, I just saw that these two sisters are beautiful, and I thought that the emperor is also a man, so he will definitely like them."
Li Guozhu asked angrily, "I was asking where they were hiding along the way. Why didn't I find them?"
Liu stammered, "My husband sent away all the other women. I was afraid these two would be chased away, so I...had them dress up in men's clothes and brought them to the capital as servants!"
Li Guozhu: “….”
Damn this woman, she's so cunning, but she uses all her tricks against me.
Li Guozhu didn't look at his wife, but came to the two tied women, "Tell me, who is the person behind you?"
One of the Western Region women looked at Li Guozhu and said respectfully, "Master, I have done a poor job. Please punish me!"
Li Guozhu: “….”
Damn it, here comes another person to throw dirty water on me!!!
