Under the turbulence of the air current, the big red phoenix robe covering Wu Zhao's graceful body flew up.

It's like a spring of white snow appearing in front of your eyes, and it's even more like a white jade carving, without a trace of variegation.

Even Xia Ji, looking at such a scene is a bit hard to hold on.

"I never thought it would be so beautiful under this red robe..."

In Wu Zhao's exclamation.

Xia Ji hugged her up.

Looking at that impeccable face, Xia Ji said lightly, "Sorry, you can trust me, but I'm walking on thin ice."

Hear this.

The solid ice in Wu Zhao's heart disintegrated a little silently.

............

Two hours later.

It's already five o'clock, and the sky is turning white.

Xia Ji walked out from the summer palace, feeling refreshed.

"Your Majesty." Cao Changqing stepped forward, but didn't know how to speak.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Xia Ji was also a little puzzled.

Only then did Cao Changqing nod his head, and explained what happened just now.

After several concubines revealed their identities, it was not easy for Cao Changqing to take action against them.

He had no choice but to temporarily trap them with awe-inspiring righteousness and wait for Xia Ji to deal with them.

But I never thought that this wait is two hours.

"Well, let's bring them in." Xia Ji thought for a while and said.

"But Your Majesty, isn't the queen still here..." Cao Changqing was a little confused.

Although Xia Ji was physically strong, he couldn't stand up to so many people.

"Oh, Queen, I just fainted." Xia Ji said lightly.

But it surprised Cao Changqing.

The empress is the cultivation level of the early days of heaven and man, but she is actually...

For a while, even if he was as steady as Cao Changqing.

He also gave Xia Ji a thumbs up.

"By the way, call He Shen later."

Xia Ji spoke again, turned around and walked into the bedroom.

Chapter 12 Zhao Gao panicked, He Shen trembled

The next day.

The investigation into the assassination of the Queen Mother did not yield any results.

But it's also a big deal.

Under the intensive arrangement of the Emperor Xia's clan.

The empress dowager's body was sent to the imperial mausoleum for burial.

It seems that this matter wants to be over.

But in the dark, it was the result of manipulation by the six ministers and the court ministers.

Now Cao Zhengchun's Dongchang controls the palace, while Zhao Gao is in charge of managing the officials.

It's just what makes everyone curious.

Ever since He Shen and Pei Ju left Cao Zhengchun's mansion last night.

Cao Zhengchun never showed up.

His mansion was even surrounded by a large number of Dongchang factory guards.

Even the people Zhao Gao sent to investigate did not hear any news.

For a moment, no one knew what Cao Zhengchun was planning.

but.......

time.

A Dongchang factory guard was ordered to deliver a beautifully decorated box to Zhao Gao's mansion.

In the mansion.

Zhao Gao looked at the box brought up, and there was some doubt in his eyes.

"Cao Zhengchun is planning to make up for it?"

Now, all the guards in the palace have been replaced by Dongchang Changwei.

Wait for the whole palace to fall into the hands of Cao Zhengchun.

But looking at this exquisite box, Zhao Gao was also in a good mood.

After all, Cao Zhengchun didn't have any second thoughts.

Now I can send things over.

It already represents its attitude.

If you want to control Great Xia in the future, Zhao Gao will be the main one!

Zhao Gao smiled lightly and opened the box.

But just looking at it, his face was pale.

in the box.

It turned out to be Cao Zhengchun's head!

Cao Zhengchun is dead!

Dongchang changed hands!

That......

Who is it that controls the palace? !

For a moment, Zhao Gao only felt a chill in his heart.

It seemed that there was a big hand invisibly coming towards him.

"Hurry up and contact the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, something is not right!"

Zhao Gao immediately ordered.

He didn't sit down on the chair until the left and right retreated.

On the forehead, there is already cold sweat.

............

Summer Palace.

Since Chen Shi.

Some trembling He Shen came here.

He couldn't figure out why the current emperor would send someone to have an audience with him.

You know, He Shen is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the first of the six ministers.

It is in charge of the appointment and removal, examination, promotion, transfer, and honor of civil servants across the country.

There is a lot of oil and water in this position.

Even his current family wealth, even the national treasury, cannot be compared with it.

Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, he found himself...

He Shen narrowed his eyes.

Thinking about the questions Xia Ji would ask him in his mind, he had already figured out how to deal with it.

just.

He waited and waited until noon.

No one has been called yet.

Under the scorching sun, He Shen's fat body was already dripping with sweat.

This also made the resentment and anger in his heart continue to rise.

even.

If it wasn't for the time, he would have already walked away.

Just when He Shen was impatient.

A eunuch in a red robe stepped forward.

"My lord, Your Majesty welcomes you."

It's a man, but a cat.

Overnight, he assassinated the Empress Dowager, took over the entire East Factory, and completely changed the people and cats in the entire palace.

It's just that today's cats are smiling.

It looked a little kind.

He Shen looked at Ren Mao with doubts, he had never seen this eunuch before.

But he didn't think too much, snorted coldly, and walked towards the hall.

.............

above the hall.

Xia Ji breathed out, a little too crazy last night.

Even at the end, all the concubines screamed for mercy.

Until now, he was still lying in the bedroom unable to move.

After calling a few maids to tidy up Tsang Luohong, they arranged a few people together.

Only then did Xia Ji remember.

He asked Cao Changqing to call He Shen.

ta ta ta ......

Subtle footsteps echoed in the empty hall.

He Shen's short, fat body walked into the hall with difficult steps.

There was some anger on his face, and even more resentment rose in his heart.

He was ready to ask the emperor why he made himself wait so long.

But when his eyes touched the figure on the dragon chair.

He seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss in an instant.

There is darkness in every direction, endless, boundless.

There is no time, no space.

Nothing at all!

There is only emptiness, vastness, and vastness.
