Chapter 77 Chapter 77

Song Qingzhai readily responded: "It's not difficult." Then he asked: "Why don't you ask about the assassin."

Xu Ji smiled mockingly: "This matter is simple. The emperor has not got what he wants, so he will definitely not do anything to me.

"The only one who wants to kill me like this is the empress dowager."

At this time, the Queen Mother Niu was angry, and He Zhong knelt on the ground trembling. A big bag had been smashed out of his head by the plate thrown by the Queen Mother Niu.

"Trash! Useless things!" The Queen Mother Niu went over and kicked He Zhong hard, and then saw that the agate silk-wrapped dish fell on the carpet, and it was not damaged, and she was quietly relieved.

He Zhong said with a bitter face: "This servant never thought that the Wancheng county master would have such a good skill! Before this servant, I made more inquiries. Even the maidservant who served her personally said that she had never practiced martial arts."

The Queen Mother Niu gritted her teeth, "It seems that these changes were born only after she went to the cold palace. Unexpectedly, the Ai family made her come true!"

He Zhong cautiously asked: "Then, do you want to find someone else..."

"Look for it!" The Queen Mother Niu said angrily, "This time I want to find a master! One hit kills! Afterwards, there will be a big reward!"

He Zhong timidly said: "Your Majesty, when you buy a killer, you always pay first, at least half of it..."

Empress Dowager Niu impatiently dropped a sign: "Go and support yourself later!"

He Zhong grinned. The Empress Dowager has a lot of gold and silver in her private treasury, but it is not easy to withdraw it: it doesn't matter if there is a special person to guard it, the keys of each box are in the hands of the Empress Dowager herself.

There are also differences in the pairs of cards that are withdrawn, and different pairs of cards correspond to different amounts.

For example, you can only withdraw 200 taels of silver for the brand you are giving yourself right now, and you want to bribe the master to kill Xu Ji with just 200 taels of silver?

This... is too difficult.

Before he could say anything, someone outside reported that Zhou Qi came.

He Zhong quickly stuffed the sign into his sleeve, knelt and crawled a few steps, picked up the agate silk-wrapped dish on the ground and put it away.

The Queen Mother Niu hastily put on a pose, pretending to be calm and drinking tea.

Zhou Qi's face was full of anger, as soon as he came in, he scolded all the waiters to retreat, and then went straight in: "Did the mother send someone to assassinate Xu Ji?"

"What is the emperor saying?" Of course the Queen Mother Niu did not admit it, "Ai's family is in the deep palace, and I don't know where Xu Ji is now, how can I kill her?"

"Mother," Zhou Qi said impatiently, "Now that there is no one else, you should stop acting in front of your son! If there is no sufficient evidence, how can I believe that it was the mother who did it?"

The Queen Mother Niu immediately cried, "My son! I feel wronged for my mother!"

"Mother!" Zhou Qi emphasized, "How many times have I told you, Erchen! Don't worry about this matter! Erchen still has a lot of things to dig out from her, and you acted rashly... Fortunately, you missed it. If I succeed, it is my loss!"

The Queen Mother Niu was shocked: "Could it be... Could it be that the emperor was also bewitched by this little goblin?"

"Mother!" Zhou Qi had a headache, why is this old lady so stubborn, "I didn't mean that!
"Xu Ji has a lot of secrets, and I have to find out all of them. Besides, she can keep the third brother in check.

"You know that the third younger brother is self-respecting and doesn't respect me very much. I will keep the country that my father and elder brother brought down, no matter what."

The Queen Mother Niu was shocked: "What do you mean, he wants to rebel?! This evil! I said a long time ago that he should drown as soon as he is born!"
