Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 301 Endless Torture

Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing by, felt dizzy.

The confidant of Prince Li Dan was actually the chief of the Internal Guard under Wu Zetian.

How much did Wu Zetian distrust Li Dan? She actually let people from the Inner Guard sneak into Prince Xiang's Palace and monitor Li Dan for so many years.

If Yingfei had not stepped forward to reveal her identity as the head of the Inner Guard Palace, Shangguan Wan'er would have really believed that this female Zhuge Liang in the Prince of Xiang's Palace was a retainer hired by Li Dan.

Hiding her fear deeply, Shangguan Wan'er finally had the courage to take another look at the meticulous Wu Zetian.

Even if she thought with her butt, she knew that there must be Wu Zetian's internal guards monitoring the Prince's Mansion.

Even the one in the Prince's Mansion is a cabinet leader of the Inner Guard Palace.

Many capable people have emerged in the hidden Inner Guard Palace, so Shangguan Wan'er thinks it is natural for a few more to emerge.

Yingfei answered Wu Zetian's questions fluently. Finally, Wu Zetian gave her some advice and she promised that she would keep a close eye on Prince Li Dan. Then she asked for her leave, left Ganlu Palace and went to the East Palace.

After Yingfei left, Wu Zetian leisurely turned to Shangguan Wan'er, who had watched a good show.

"Wan'er, I'm going to arrange internal guards in the Prince Xiang's mansion. What do you think?"

Shangguan Wan'er naturally did not dare to say that Wu Zetian's move was too cruel. After thinking about it, she could only answer:

"Your Majesty's move is truly a far-sighted one."

Wu Zetian burst into laughter, and there was something weird in her laughter, which scared Shangguan Wan'er so much that she felt a chill on her back.

"I don't even trust my own son. Shouldn't you be horrified by my behavior?"

Shangguan Wan'er fell to her knees with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly.

Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down Shangguan Wan'er's forehead, passed the corners of her mouth, and finally slid onto her chin, which almost poked a hole in her chest.

Shangguan Wan'er was trembling constantly and kept kowtowing, not daring to look up at Wu Zetian who had come in front of him.

The bead of sweat finally fell and hit the cold ground of Ganlu Palace, breaking into pieces with a snap. Countless water droplets exploded in all directions, and a terrifying feeling quietly arose.

Wu Zetian bent down and looked at the girl in front of her with a smile on her face. The girl was still working for her after she had confiscated her property and exterminated her family. Her smile was filled with the satisfaction that only a superior could get.

"Are you afraid of me? Why should you be afraid of me? Didn't I spare your life?"

The smile on Wu Zetian's face was very gentle, but Shangguan Wan'er, who raised her eyes once while kowtowing, saw endless coldness in it, which was the unique indifference and ruthlessness of those in a higher position.

Once upon a time, Shangguan Wan'er, who knew that this country was weak, also thought that the emperor was shit. But after surviving and living with the emperor, Shangguan Wan'er realized that no one who became an emperor would be incompetent.

A person who is extremely mediocre will definitely have ambitions that ordinary people do not have in his heart after becoming an emperor.

Once successfully stimulated, the emperor will be able to do things that ordinary people can never do.

For example, Li Xian, Li Dan, and their mother Wu Zetian.

"I am loyal to Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"I did not ask whether you were loyal to me, I asked why you feared me."

"Your Majesty is the Supreme Ruler, the Son of Heaven. I am a subject of the Son of Heaven. How can I not be afraid of Your Majesty?"

"I know you are lying."

Wu Zetian restrained her smile, stood up straight, and returned to sit on her dragon bed.

The atmosphere in Ganlu Palace was still cold, and Shangguan Wan'er, who was kneeling on the ground, was almost unable to breathe.

"Get up. Pretend you don't know what happened today. Li Dan asked Yingfei to pass on the message to Li Xian, saying that their goal has been achieved. Ask Li Xian to be careful in Luoyang and not let me find an opportunity."

"Hahaha, what a good son of mine. I'm so happy that one of my sons is so sensible."

"If you don't want to cause trouble for me, then let the boys of the Wu family cause trouble for me."

"The plan I made at the beginning was completely disrupted by the two of them. I thought that if I tied Li Xian and Sansi together, they would fight against Chengsi and Cunxi together. Li Dan and the others were the whetstones I prepared from the beginning."

"Everything is in chaos now, but I agree with them. However, what I want to know most is not anything else, but what kind of preparations Li Xian has made. Is he going to kill me and seize the throne, or is he going to fight me to the death? I am really looking forward to it."

Wu Zetian lived to an old age, but she never expected that her children would play such a trick on her.

But it was also a good thing that before she died, she completely messed up the empire she had seized. In the future, historians would also record that the reason why the Wu Zhou Dynasty was weak was entirely because of the attacks on each other by her ministers. In order to balance the ministers, she, the emperor, had to kill many ministers and the descendants of the Li family.

The final chaos of the Wu Zhou Dynasty was entirely due to the fact that the crown prince had no sympathy for the people and was determined to fight him to the death for the throne.

This is also a good result.

"The Dengzhou case is over. Although Cun Xi did not find out the truth behind the case, he has made great contributions. Considering the previous Ruzhou case, let's give him some rewards."

"Wan'er, tell me, how should I reward him?"

Shangguan Wan'er, who had just stood up, staggered and almost fell.

This sentence is really life-threatening.

During the Huzhou case, she was disguised as a man and followed Wu Zetian. She heard Wu Zetian say this.

Now Wu Zetian has also said so, could it be...

His Majesty suddenly had a brain storm and decided to get rid of Li Shaoyin who was working for the country and the people?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan'er could only bite the bullet and suggest: "Your Majesty, although Lord Li and his party have worked hard and made great contributions, Lord Li is already the Shaoyin of Henan Prefecture. This is the first case in this dynasty. Why not just reward them with some gold and silver?"

Wu Zetian nodded, very satisfied.

"Then order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to draft an imperial decree. For their hard work and great contributions, Henan Prefecture Shaoyin Li Cunxi, Qianniu Guards Zhonglang Jiang Hu Jinghui and others will be rewarded with one thousand gold each. The attendant Wu Yanhao will be promoted to the position of Chaoqing Lang, and the attendant Lu Dayou will be promoted to the position of Supervisory Censor for his hard work and perseverance."

"Li Xian and Li Dan want Cunxi to stand up and fight with my nephews, right? Then let his people rise together. I heard that the man surnamed Liu who lives in Cunxi's mansion seems to want to take the imperial examination this year..."

Shangguan Wan'er trembled.

Okay, okay, your son is trying every possible way to fight you, but you still play this trick and promote all of Li Cunxi's gang. Isn't this making the court even more chaotic?

"I believe that even if this person fails the exam, Li Cunxi will definitely find a way to get him into the government. Then I just need to let him gain merit."

Wu Zetian seemed to be thinking about something, with a melancholy expression.

"Cunxi, Cunxi, please don't let me down. I want to see if you can take back the Li Kingdom."
