Chapter 227 The Empress Dowager's Past?

'No matter what the empress wants to do, I will do my best to support...'

Zhao Cuo pursed his lower lip.

He devoted all his heart to the female devil and was willing to die for it.

What is the reason why the empress did not confess her plan to him?They have clearly been frank with each other.

"Why does Zhao Shaoqing seem a little sad all of a sudden?"

Quan Xia behind him suddenly spoke.

"how could be?"

Zhao Wrong turned around and looked at her while already showing a smile.

"I'm thinking, since your majesty asked me to receive His Highness, I should take you around Xiangjing, right?"

They had already walked out of the majestic Chaotian Temple at this time.

Xiao Xia, who was entrusted by the young man to the maid of honor, returned to his arms.

She looked at the boy with a pair of cold blue eyes.

"Ok?"

Quan Xia was startled for a moment.

She really didn't expect Zhao Cuo to say such a thing.

The Empress Dowager Dayu treated her so coldly just now, shouldn't Zhao Cuo do the same?Why are you so passionate about her?

"Is it possible?"

After a brief moment of daze, she revealed expectant eyes.

Of course she wanted to experience the prosperity of Dayu Capital.

It is also good to be familiar with the layout of the lower city before the plan is implemented.

"This official still dares to amuse His Highness."

Zhao Cuo looked at the little demon girl's exquisite facial features without changing her smile.

The bridge of her nose is white and straight, which makes her face extraordinarily three-dimensional, and she has a style different from that of human women.

The little father-in-law couldn't help but compare her with Xia Yaonv, a cold and refined face like a banished fairy appeared in front of his eyes, and it was difficult to distinguish between them for a while.

"My princess heard that Xiang Jing's prosperity is reflected in basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the mansion where we stayed is indeed magnificent. Can Shaoqing show me the other three things?"

Princess Quan Xia blinked a pair of coquettishly colored pupils that did not match her childlike face.

She didn't seem to take the displeasure of Chaotian Palace into consideration at all.

The thin lips that looked rosy and delicious were slightly raised.

"A sumptuous meal has been prepared in the mansion."

Zhao Cuo reminded.

"not good."

His Highness the Second Highness Yaoting said seriously.

"My princess wants to go to the market to experience the prosperity of Dayu."

"Since Her Royal Highness has spoken, I will naturally accompany you, but..."

He paused and looked at Quan Xia who could tell the identity of a foreign race at a glance by his attire.

"What's wrong?"

Quan Xia's silver hair swayed closer to him.

With a straightforward and informal personality, she didn't realize that she was too close to the nobles of the enemy country.

Princess Xiao Xia in Zhao Cuo's arms had already narrowed her eyes at this time, and she was dissatisfied with the lack of vigilance of the Second Highness at this time, and the Demon Court's plan in Xiang Jing could not be sloppy.

"If His Highness Quan Xia doesn't dress up in disguise, I'm afraid he won't be able to buy anything after he goes to the street, even though I'm here."

Zhao Xiaogong took half a step back without any trace.

The human race and the demon are sworn enemies of generations that have been at war for millions of years.

Which household in Dayu did not have a son who died at the hands of the Yaozu on the battlefield?The same is true for the demon court, the relationship between the two races is life and death.

"it's okay."

Quan Xia generously raised her hand and patted his shoulder.

"My princess doesn't care about the gazes of others, she's just walking around the capital, right?"

She winked at the young man with seductive, strange-colored pupils that would make one lose one's mind.

However, in fact, she didn't have any extra thoughts about Zhao Cuo.

Today's performance is only because of his lively and open-minded personality.

'What are you acting like a baby! '

The eldest princess looked indifferent.

Is it plausible that the Second Highness of the Demon Court is so intimate with the enemy?

It's not for you to use beauty tricks, of course it's okay to be familiar with Xiang Jing's environment, but extraneous complications are absolutely not allowed.

"Meow!"

A warning cry sounded.

The jade hand that Quan Xia casually placed on Young Master Zhao's shoulder froze together with her face.

Her strange brain circuit suddenly began to turn again, and she felt that her aunt's cry was meaningful and could read rich meanings.

'Is this telling me not to steal her man? '

Quan Xia withdrew his hand calmly.

"Your Highness said so."

Zhao Cuo nodded lightly.

"But just now, the official didn't make it clear. I will have free time to accompany the princess to the streets tomorrow. You should take a bath and rest in the mansion today."

"Eh……"

Quan Xia suddenly let out a long, disappointed tone.

Her bewitching mandarin duck eyes also revealed a look of frustration at this time.

Zhao Cuo really felt that it was a mistake for Yaoting to let her go on an envoy, not to mention her sloppy personality, and she was also very happy and angry.

"I'll pick you up at the mansion tomorrow morning, Your Highness."

Zhao Cuo continued to smile.

"Ok."

Quan Xia reluctantly nodded.

"Zhao Shaoqing, you must come to find this princess tomorrow.

For a moment, she forgot that she was going to hold the image of being an envoy of the demon court.

"I always keep what I say."

Zhao Cuo said in a credible tone with a smile on his face.

"Let me send His Highness back to the mansion first. If you encounter any problems in the capital, you can tell me. I will try my best to solve the trouble for you."

"Zhao Shaoqing is a good man."

Quan Xia was moved by his sincere tone.

Of course, when it came time to break through the Demon Lock City, she would not hesitate at all.

Although the second highness is second, but the way of thinking is wrong, as long as he is not stupid, he is quite smart.

……

"Do you know where you are wrong?"

In the mansion where the Dayu court received foreign envoys.

Two young and beautiful silver-haired beauties are facing each other in the dormitory.

The slender and cold woman looked down at the niece and niece with different eyes who were sitting obediently on the ground.

"Yes……"

Quan Xia, who had expected to be reprimanded by her aunt, pursed her mouth a little bit aggrieved.

"I shouldn't have mentioned any bellybands in public. This will make people in Dayu think that our Yaozu are ignorant savages. I'm embarrassing to Father Khan."

Totally misses the point.

The corners of Boluan Banxia's eyes twitched.

She realized that the stupid niece hadn't realized the mistake at all.

"anything else?"

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess continued to ask casually.

"I don't look like an envoy. When I enter the palace of the Yu Dynasty, I still look around. It makes people laugh."

This is the feeling of the whole summer.

"Go on."

"Gone?"

Quan Xia tilted her head in doubt, and when she noticed the coldness in her aunt's eyes, she couldn't help but shrink her head.

But does she really feel that she has done nothing wrong?

Is it to say...

"Shouldn't I get too close to Zhao wrong?"

she said tentatively.

"It's one of them."

Boluan Banxia nodded her head lightly.

'call……'

Quan Xia, who thought she had finally found the problem, let out a long sigh of relief.

She thought her aunt didn't care about her ex-husband before.

Now it seems that they really still have feelings.

"I won't rob men with my aunt!"

Quan Xia said swearingly.

His Highness's brain circuit is so magical.

Princess Banxia was stunned for a moment, then her expression darkened.

"Did you forget everything I told you before?"

She stared at Quan Xia expressionlessly and said.

"Zhao Cuo is ruthless, and you let your guard down just because of the little kindness he released? Is that what I taught you in Mobei?"

The relationship between Xia Yaonv and Quan Xia can be said to be close relatives plus master and apprentice.

Even the name Quan Xia was chosen by her.

That's why she was angry.

"But……"

Quan Xia hesitated to speak.

"He doesn't seem to be as cold-blooded and heartless as your aunt said."

The cruel image of Young Master Zhao in her impression came from His Royal Highness Princess Boluan Banxia.

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Boluan Banxia said lightly.

"We are here to open the Demon Lock City, the Zhao family is the biggest enemy, you have to remember this."

"Of course I know."

Quan Xia whispered.

"it is good."

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess nodded indifferently.

In fact, she neither likes nor dislikes Zhao Cuo.

The intersection between them is nothing more than opposing positions, not to mention love or hate.

"I made an appointment with Zhao to go shopping together tomorrow. According to my aunt, are we going to refuse now?"

Quan Xia asked cautiously.

"Go."

Boluan Banxia shook his head.

"It's not a bad thing for you to get acquainted with Xiang Jing."

"I will definitely work hard!"

Quan Xia was beaming with joy.

Her joyful expression made Boluan Banxia frown.

For the time being, His Highness the Second Highness, who knew how to observe words and expressions, immediately restrained his smile with wit.

"there's one more thing……"

"What do you mean by faltering?"

"Auntie, what is the relationship between you and Zhao Cuo? He really loves you, and he will hug you no matter where he goes."

Boluan Banxia, ​​who was about to leave, decided not to leave.

Princess Quan Xia felt that she was really amazing.

In one sentence, I learned the word asking for trouble.

……

"Your Majesty must have a reason for not telling me about regicide..."

Zhao Cuo sat on the carriage heading to the Execution Division with his eyes closed and rested.

At this time, he has recovered from the hesitation just now.

It is impossible for the Empress Dowager to be unfavorable to him.

"Since Your Majesty doesn't want me to know her plan, then I'll do my job well and fulfill my responsibilities as deputy head of the Execution Department and Shaoqing of Honglu Temple."

Zhao Xiaogong was talking to himself in his heart.

Of course, it is impossible for him to feel resentful because the female devil has something to hide from him.

Everything he enjoys now is a manifestation of his empress' love, if he doubts his empress just because of some vague things, he will be a wolf-hearted dog.

"At present, the empress is trying to use the demon clan to get rid of someone..."

Zhao Cuo touched his chin and thought.

To be honest, he was still a little unwilling to tell his mother something about him.

But since the bad girl didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask aggressively, and just silently contributed to what the devil wanted to do within his ability.

"Wu Jiu, why are you free to come to the yamen today?"

Zhao Cuo came to the hall of Su Chengji, who was already the head of the execution department.

"I have encountered some problems, and I need to go to the warehouse to check the files. I also ask my uncle to help me."

He smiled and said to Su Chengji.

Now Mr. Zhao Xiaogong can be sure that the Yaozu must have other plans when they enter Beijing.

And the empress dowager knew everything well, and wanted to use them to achieve a purpose that even he didn't want to tell.These are all clues.

"It's natural."

Su Zhangsi nodded without asking further questions.

He still knows who is right now in the Execution Division.

Zhao Cuo is now deeply favored, not to mention the child he has watched and grown up since he was a child. He will ask the young master before making a decision on important matters in the company.

"I want to read the information related to the two former deposed emperors."

He said without hesitation.

Su Chengji is one of his own.

Don't have to cover up too much.

"You mean the deposed second and fourth sons of the emperor?"

Su Chengji's face froze for a moment, any matter involving abolishing the establishment was not something officials could say casually.

"Exactly."

Zhao Cuo nodded lightly.

He now wants to know which monarch the empress wants to kill through the Yaozu.

First of all, Emperor Yongzhao who was far away in Huainan could be ruled out, then the two emperors who had been deposed earlier and King Ning who was about to ascend the throne could be suspected.

"The empress wants to kill King Ning is just a matter of eyes, and there is no need to go through a lot of trouble to borrow the hands of the demon court, so the only two possibilities are the two elder brothers of Emperor Yongzhao who have long been deposed. '

"Come with me."

Su Chengji nodded after a pause.

"I'm doing something for my mother. Don't worry about Uncle Su, it will be fine."

Zhao Cuo did not lie, he checked these things just to help the bad woman, there is no problem.

"All the files of crimes and punishments in the Dayu Dynasty were divided into three copies by the Execution Department, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, so the condemnation of the dethroned emperor can also be found."

Su Chengji led him into a lobby where even the air smelled of ink.

"The files related to the two deposed emperors are here."

He pointed to the two shelves and said.

"Thank you, Uncle Su."

Zhao Cuo first roughly flipped through the volumes on the shelf, and then flipped through them one by one, frowning gradually.

Judging from these materials, the deposed second and fourth sons of the emperor did not pose any threat, and they had no grievances with the empress.

The most important thing is that after they lost the emperor's throne, they were said to be absurd and unreasonable in the files, and their final disposal was only lifelong imprisonment.

"It's just a matter of one sentence for the empress to kill them." '

The two deposed emperors are now imprisoned in the clan mansion.

This place is also under the control of the empress.

Kill them with the knives of the Yaozu?

"Is there any gain?"

Seeing the dossier in his hand, Su Chengji asked.

When Zhao Cuo heard the words, he just nodded lightly in response. His mind is now in a mess, and he feels that his thinking has fallen into a misunderstanding.

At present, all the suspects who have sat on the throne and are about to ascend the throne have been ruled out, so which monarch is the empress going to kill?There is no one from the Chu family that can be doubted.

'Could it still be the first emperor who died for three years? '

The last emperor he could think of related to the empress dowager was Emperor Yu Xuan.

But this is a dead man who died of illness after being in a coma for more than ten years.

Eh……

"How did the empress dowager get the power back then?"

Zhao Cuo fell into contemplation, and there was no memory of this aspect at all in his memory. He only remembered that the capital seemed to be in turmoil when he was five years old?

After he thought of this, his thoughts suddenly became clear.

The problem must be here.

"The empress dowager took power shortly after entering the palace, something must have happened during that time, the person who can make the devil fearful may only exist in the past..."

Young Master Zhao turned his head to look at Su Chengji.

"Uncle Su..."

He paused and asked directly.

"I want a dossier of all the major events that happened 14 years ago, that is, the 35th year of Emperor Xuan."

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Su Chengji was obviously taken aback.

His face instantly became serious.

lips whispered.

"You'd better not explore what happened back then..."
