Text Chapter 2108 The Witch

“…” The Lord of Qing was choked and speechless.

He remembered that this incident did happen back then, but in the end it was Shangguan Qing who came to him to explain the pros and cons. In the end, he felt that it was not appropriate to continue, so he asked the Shadow Guard to conduct a self-examination. At the same time, he also acquiesced to Shangguan Qing’s failure to hand over another list of Shadow Guards who were performing undercover missions. Now he was really blocked by Gao Guan’s words.

Hearing the meaning of these words, it became the Lord of Qing’s responsibility, but he could only stare blankly!

He turned around and wandered in the hall with his hands behind his back, falling into deep thought.

There was a spy inside the Shadow Guard. Was Guo Yanting the only one with a problem? Should he investigate or not?

He wanted to investigate. If there was a problem with the force around him, what would happen? But some of the shadow guards are carrying out their missions, some are lurking in secret, and some are now waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Niu Youde. However, the lurking Feihong can no longer provide opportunities for the shadow guards. Without the cooperation of the lurking personnel, it is simply a child's play to assassinate the Southern Army's commander Tianwang. There is no chance to assassinate the human horse for the time being!

Thinking of this, Qingzhu suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice: "Shadow guards... check!"

It was specifically stated that it was to check the shadow guards, not Niu Youde. The key is that you can't check him. Even if you know that it was him who did it, you can't check it. Saying that Niu Youde's concubine is a spy planted by the left department of the Heavenly Court Supervision? Can such a thing be exposed?

Gao Guan had a blank expression on his face and slowly bowed his hands to accept the order...

Not long after, Gao Guan appeared in a courtyard, looking calmly at Shangguan Qing, who was lying on the couch and was tortured.

Shangguan Qing shivered, because of the pain, but also because of his sadness. He tried to turn his head to look at Gao Guan, not knowing what to say. Last time, Gao Guan put the shadow guard in the prison of the right department of the supervision and tortured him like that. This time, he fell into Gao Guan's hands again, especially after such a thing happened. How could Gao Guan show mercy?

The shadow guard is a dead man! How can the dead man be willing to die if he is repeatedly abused?

But what can he say? The last time Xiahou Longcheng was assassinated, it was just suspected that there was something wrong with the shadow guard, but this time, there was conclusive evidence that there was a spy among the shadow guards. There was something wrong with the inner guards around His Majesty, how could he not investigate? What reason did he have to stop it? Besides, he was a criminal now!

He couldn't figure out why there was a spy among the shadow guards. He had been in charge of the shadow guards for many years. According to his own judgment, there could be no spy among the shadow guards. It stands to reason that Guo Yanting had no possibility of being turned over by others, but it happened that Guo Yanting had a loophole. What was going on with Guo Yanting? He really wanted to find Guo Yanting to ask him why.

But after such a thing happened, who would believe him?

"Hey!" Shangguan Qing raised a fist and hit the pillow hard, shook his head helplessly, and finally buried his head in the pillow...

In the Guangtian Palace, Guang Linggong, who was wandering in the mountains and forests, frowned and felt very depressed.

He couldn't understand what was going on. How could the servants sent there to guard the house attack the Li Palace? Sending a servant to attack the Li Palace, he was almost mentally ill? But the one who did it was his people. Is it wrong for the Heavenly Court to ask him for an explanation now?

It is impossible to do anything to him based on such a thing. Here, just give a reason and put the responsibility on the servant himself. The Heavenly Court is not a fool. It should also know that he can't do such a thing. The Heavenly Court can't go to war with him because of this. Just a slight punishment in name will be over.

The Heavenly Court was attacked in two places. He also realized that something was wrong. He wanted to ask about the specific situation, but the Heavenly Court was vague and obviously unwilling to explain clearly. There must be something fishy here.

At this time, Gou Yue was not with him. She took her daughter Guang Meir to the Governor's Mansion of the Netherworld to visit Qing Yuanzun.

The reason was that Guang Meir liked the environment there and had been there often before. The real reason was that he wanted to marry Guang Meir to Qing Yuanzun. The news that Xiahou Ling's death and the power of the Xiahou family fell into Cao Man's hands had spread. It happened that there was a change in the Xiahou family. I don't know if Qingzhu had any thoughts. He wanted to take the opportunity to try.

He was still quite confident about his daughter's appearance. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was the most beautiful woman in the court. If Qing Yuanzun couldn't control himself and had something with his daughter, Qingzhu couldn't deny it. He, the Heavenly King of the Western Army, was not a vegetarian.

Perhaps for Qing Yuanzun, it was not a good thing to marry Guang Meir at the moment. With troops in hand and the support of Guang Linggong, it would obviously cause Qingzhu to be wary and might even remove Qing Yuanzun's military power. However, anyone with a clear eye should be able to see that the military power of the Governor's Mansion of the Netherworld was not actually in the hands of Qing Yuanzun, but in the hands of Qingzhu. For him, Guang Linggong, it is not important whether Qing Yuanzun holds the military power now, even if he is relieved of his military power by Qingzhu. What is important is to plan ahead for the future. As long as Qing Yuanzun marries Guang Meier, once Qingzhu dies and Qing Yuanzun ascends the throne, he will inevitably seek the support of his father-in-law, which can help him avoid the possible pre-abdication purge by Qingzhu. It is also a good thing that there will be a queen in the family to take charge of the harem in the future.

Let Gou Yue go with him, just to let Gou Yue persuade Qing Yuanzun not to focus on the military power in front of him, which he cannot control, it is more important to exchange for the future support of the Western Army.

In the Governor's Mansion of the Netherworld, among the pavilions and towers, Gou Yue, who was walking with Qing Yuanzun, was persuading him in this way.

Qing Yuanzun also turned his head from time to time to look at Guang Mei'er who was walking quietly in the yard. It was a bit difficult to take his eyes away from Guang Mei'er's graceful figure. He had never met Guang Meier before. He had only heard that Guang Meier was beautiful. Some people said she was the most beautiful woman in heaven. Just now he met her face to face. It was really shocking to heaven and earth.

He can't say that he has never been close to women, but in order to show it to his father and to show that he has not indulged in women, he has not kept any women around him, especially after he got out of Qin Fei's stall, he became even more restrained, and there were only two of them around him. The maid who serves in bed can only be said to be very beautiful. Guang Mei'er's current age is the one that shines brightly among monks. Coupled with the natural charm from the bottom of her bones, she is truly a beauty among beauties. It really makes him fall in love at first sight and her heart beats.

Moreover, Guang Meier's family background is suitable for him, so she is the best candidate for the emperor's concubine!

Gou Yue observed his reaction and knew that Qing Yuanzun was definitely moved, so he continued to persuade: "Your Highness, think about it, will Your Majesty tolerate the Xiahou family to control the harem all the time? Many things in the future are unclear! Who can guarantee that Your Majesty will not have other heirs in the future? Tianfei Zhan Ruyi is the biggest threat! But it will be different if Your Highness marries my lady. Let’s not talk about it. With the support of my prince, Your Majesty even wants to create another one. You have to think about it! It can be said that marrying my lady will clear the way for His Majesty to ascend the throne in the future!"

Qing Yuanzun was a little hesitant. If it hadn't been for the huge financial support from Miao Yi recently, and if someone under his command had hinted that they were willing to be loyal to him, he would probably have nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness! The military power in front of you is nothing but useless. It is not under your control at all. Your Highness should not just look at the present, but also look at the long term!" Gou Yue waved his hand and pointed at the graceful figure wandering in the courtyard, "As long as Your Highness nods and agrees, I can guarantee that. , I will let the young lady serve His Highness tonight! As a true and perfect young lady, your Majesty will not fail to give my prince face as a couple, and everything will be done well for you, Your Highness! Xu Zhe, don’t let the beauty down!”

Qing Yuanzun hesitated and said: "How about allowing me to think twice?" Even though the other party had already told him that he was extremely moved, he was still a little afraid of making Qingzhu unhappy. He wanted to discuss it with his mother later and did not dare to make the decision without permission.

The old scenery in the garden remains the same. This is not the first time for Guang Meier to come here, but the owner of this place has changed.

Her mood was like a withered flower in front of her, somber!

Her father asked her to come here to play again. How could she not know what her father was thinking now? But she had no choice!

In the past, her father wanted to give her to Niu Youde, but Niu Youde refused to accept it.

I heard that I wanted to send her to the palace to serve His Majesty before, but His Majesty didn't want to make her a Heavenly Concubine anymore and wouldn't accept her.

Now that her father is going to give her to His Highness the Emperor, I wonder what the outcome will be?

I couldn't help but feel inexplicable sadness in my heart, realizing that I was like an object, always waiting for a price, being sent back and forth repeatedly.

Before she came, her mother cried and only told her one sentence: Be obedient!

Not long after Gou Yue retreated temporarily, Wang Dingchao, the deputy commander of the Netherworld, strode up to Qing Yuan Zun with a sullen face, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness!"

Qing Yuanzun was disgusted when he saw him, and said with a cold face: "There is no His Highness here!"

"Master Governor!" Wang Dingchao changed his words, pointed at Guang Mei'er in the garden and said in a deep voice, "What is Gou Yue's intention in bringing this enchantress here?"

Witch? Qing Yuanzun stared at him coldly, "Are you taking too much care?"

Wang Dingchao said: "The governor seems to be bewitched by this enchantress! I just want to remind the governor that no matter how beautiful this enchantress is, not everyone can touch it, it is very hot!"

Qingyuan Zun was a little angry and gritted his teeth and said: "If I like it, what if I have to touch it?"

Seeing that he was about to explode, Wang Dingchao frowned, softened his tone, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, everything is based on the overall situation! You might as well ask your Majesty for your opinion first, and then just agree to it. Everything will be easy to talk about! If your Majesty doesn't agree, you must not do it. You are making the decision without permission! Your Majesty, I know that you have some complaints about His Majesty’s supervision, but is it really okay to leave an impression of being uncontrolled in His Majesty’s eyes? If you have this impression and collude with the Western Army, what do you want His Majesty to think? Ah! Are you so impatient?"

Qing Yuanzun couldn't listen to the first words at all, but the last words made him quite moved!

Wang Dingchao suddenly knelt down on one knee again, cupped his hands and said: "I'll tell you the truth! Before Beizhi went to take office with His Highness, His Majesty gave Beizhi a secret decree. His Majesty clearly told Beizhi that he didn't need to be loyal to Your Majesty, but only had to be loyal to Your Highness alone. Let outsiders alienate the father-son relationship between His Majesty and Your Highness. Your Majesty clearly told Beizhi that Beizhi’s only mission is to help His Highness ascend the throne smoothly! He said that if Your Highness does not listen, He can let Beizhi make this clear and the person who succeeds to the throne of Heaven will be the one except His Highness. There will be no second person unless His Highness rebels!"

"..." Qing Yuanzun was shocked. He knew that Wang Dingchao couldn't say such nonsense, it must be true. He immediately helped Wang Dingchao up in a hurry, not knowing what to say for a while.

After Wang Dingchao stood up, he looked at the graceful figure in the garden and said: "If Your Highness really likes this girl, don't be hasty for a while, and don't miss important events because of it. After you ascend the throne, what kind of beauty will you not have? If Your Highness really wants it, , I have a plan to offer to Your Highness, which will ensure that this girl will return to Your Highness sooner or later. No one dares to touch her, and she will definitely be in His Highness’ pocket!”

Qing Yuanzun was stunned. Hearing this, his impression of Wang Dingchao was completely overturned. He said blankly: "I would like to hear the details!"

Wang Dingchao said: "Your Highness only needs to spread the word and directly say that he likes this woman. Who in the world dares to touch this woman? Who dares to snatch a woman from Your Highness? Guanglinggong's evil plot will be broken, and he will have to sacrifice a daughter to prevent him from making trouble! As for Your Majesty, I will explain it myself!"

"This plan is very good!" Qing Yuanzun laughed in surprise, but he looked back at the graceful figure in the garden with some regret. He didn't know when it would be in the future, and he was afraid that beauty would fade away!

However, after being disturbed by Wang Dingchao, he no longer had that eager heart. Instead, Qingzhu's advance preparation completely changed his perception of Wang Dingchao... (To be continued.)
