Gu Zhao could tell that Emperor Shouzheng was gnashing his teeth when he spoke, and he obviously hated the person he was talking about.

As for who this person is, is there any point in guessing? Besides the prince, who else could have the historians write him as a cowardly tyrant after the death of Emperor Shouzheng?

Combined with Wang Zhong's voice, it becomes even more certain.

Emperor Shouzheng didn't know why, but his suspicion of the prince became more and more serious, so much so that he already banned the prince.

And this case, because the most special person who died was the leader of Emperor Shouzheng's secret guards, it also became particularly emotional for him.

So when he thought about these two aspects together, Gu Zhao was horrified. Doesn't this mean that Emperor Shouzheng suspected that the prince was related to the murder of his secret guard leader?

No wonder her vague statement just now was approved by Emperor Shouzheng.

It turns out that Emperor Shouzheng was already suspicious of the prince to this extent!

Just as various thoughts were swirling in Gu Zhao's mind, Emperor Shouzheng spoke again, "I order you to catch the real murderer within seven days. Gu Zhao, you'd better not have any unnecessary thoughts."

"I know that you have been secretly protecting the prince. Not only have you saved the prince's life several times, but you have also been secretly suppressing other princes on many occasions."

"But, in this case, if you still want to secretly cover up for the prince, I will take your head!"

After saying such a long string of words, Emperor Shouzheng began to breathe heavily again, but the look he looked at Gu Zhao was full of ferocity, like a dying wolf king, ready to choose someone to devour at any time.

Gu Zhao spoke respectfully, bowed his head and replied, "I don't dare."

It seems that Emperor Shouzheng really doesn't have much time left, otherwise he wouldn't need to use such a crude and straightforward method of threat. Instead, he would just sit on the dragon chair and silently look down at the people below.

When Gu Zhao exited the imperial tent, he met Ms. Lu again.

Looking at Miss Lu standing in the shadow of the tree, Gu Zhao knew that this was not a coincidence.

Ms. Lu stood quietly in the shade of the trees, with little golden light leaking from the gaps in the leaves above her head and falling on her body. At that moment, she seemed to be in a world that Gu Zhao could not touch.

Gu Zhao blinked, and the suddenly distant Miss Lu disappeared as if it was an illusion. What appeared in front of Gu Zhao's eyes was the familiar Miss Lu from before.

"You just met Your Majesty." Ms. Lu tilted her head slightly and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

Gu Zhao glanced at her in surprise. How could he comment on the emperor casually in public? Ms. Lu was also an old man from the Control He Division. Didn't she know the principle of confidentiality?

Ms. Lu's smile was full of confidence, "It doesn't matter."

As soon as Gu Zhao left the imperial tent, Qin Xinglie followed him. At this moment, he whispered in Gu Zhao's ear, "She is surrounded by her people."

This also made Qin Xinglie wary of the female officer in front of him.

Even if Emperor Shouzheng is old and dying, and his control over the surroundings has weakened, the behavior of this female officer of the Crane Control Department still makes people suspicious.

Qin Xinglie's voice was very low, but it was obvious that Miss Lu still heard clearly.

She raised the corners of her mouth, and her smile turned out to be a little naughty. "What? Are you afraid that I will deal with you?"

Gu Zhao's smile seemed indifferent and calm. "That's impossible. With your methods, it's impossible for me to influence anything."

Gu Zhao had already figured it out. Official Lu had obviously planned it for a long time before she could come and go at will in Emperor Shou Zheng's imperial tent, as if she was in a deserted place.

And this camp is obviously under her control - not only the hidden personnel around, but also the fact that Qin Xinglie and Lu Yao cannot escape her sight when they meet, are obvious evidence.

Gu Zhao looked around. There seemed to be a blank area around her and Miss Lu. The imperial guards patrolling the camp and the servants from various families rushing back and forth all stayed far away and would not get close at all.

"Since you took the initiative to spread all this out in front of me, you must be confident that I will not ruin your plan."

Miss Lu's eyes looked at Gu Zhao with relief, joy, and a little bit of complacency.

Gu Zhao blinked his eyes, what kind of expression is this? Why does he always feel that in the eyes of Ms. Lu, she is like a child who has not yet grown up?

The reason why she did not immediately regard Ms. Lu as an enemy was because Feng You told her that Kong Hesi had actually always had a grudge against Emperor Shouzheng and believed that he was not a wise master worthy of Kong He Si's loyal allegiance.

So is Ms. Lu Feng You’s companion?

"Then let's go back to the issue just now. What do you think, our Majesty..." Ms. Lu mentioned Emperor Shouzheng in a casual tone. It was obvious that she had no respect for Emperor Shouzheng. "How is he now?

"

Gu Zhao said calmly, "The dying beast king is the most dangerous."

Ms. Lu glanced at Gu Zhao meaningfully and motioned for her to walk side by side with her, "You seem a little dissatisfied with me?"

Gu Zhao did not refuse and walked with her towards the edge of the camp. "That's not even a question. I just don't know what you are going to do and what the consequences will be."

Miss Lu suddenly raised her hand and stretched it towards Gu Zhao's head.

But before her hand fell on Gu Zhao's head, it was held by a big hand that suddenly appeared like lightning in the sky.

Qin Xinglie was worried that she would be harmful to Gu Zhao, so he directly pinched Miss Lu's wrist.

The next moment, Qin Xinglie said "Hey", and Miss Lu's hand slipped from his fingers like a slippery fish.
