The dark red palace wall extends forward, forming a deep corridor, which is long, narrow and depressing.

Gu Zhao was walking on a road he was very familiar with in his previous life, but his mood was completely different from that then.

In her previous life, she was dressed in the royal robes of a princess, with the palace maids cheering and hugging her. When she walked through this place, she was either thinking about the problems in the court, or the battles in the harem, and Qin Youjin's graceful swaying, and her heart was filled with melancholy.

This time, she was wearing colorful crane clothes and carrying a wild goose feather sword. Behind her, Qin Xinglie, Bai He and Xiao He were thinking about how to settle accounts with Queen Liu and the Liu family.

Even if her opponents were the queen and the elder, she still had no fear at all.

She is the same, why is there such a big difference?

Gu Zhao's back was straight and his eyes were sharp.

Because in her previous life, everything she had depended on others, but in this life, she has learned to control her own destiny!

"Master Gu? Please wait a moment." The young eunuch guarding the gate outside the Queen's Kunning Palace bowed and said, "I will go in and report."

Gu Zhao just glanced at him and followed the little eunuch with Qin Xinglie in.

"Master Gu..." The young eunuch looked at Gu Zhao in shock. He hadn't gone in to report yet. How could Gu Zhao enter without permission?

Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows and his face was as cold as frost, "I have important official duties and cannot be delayed. Why don't you lead the way as soon as possible?"

The little eunuch looked at the little cranes behind Gu Zhao who had put their hands on the handles of the knives. He was so frightened that he shut his mouth and walked forward quickly.

The queen's palace had just been renovated before her wedding. The vermilion pillars, glazed tile roof, and double eaves and brackets were brand new and gorgeous, exuding royal dignity.

A dozen palace maids were sweeping and playing in the courtyard. When they saw Gu Zhao and his party, they couldn't help but pay attention.

The little eunuch had a grimace and ran all the way to the door, "Sister, this is Mr. Gu, the commander of the Crane Control Division, who wants to see the empress."

Gu Zhao had already seen the entrance to the main hall in front of her. She raised a palm and waved it gently, and the little cranes behind her quickly scattered around.

The maids were stunned with fright, and some of them screamed softly.

How dare these foreign men be so rude and rude in the Queen's Palace?

Gu Zhao glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Konghe Company is performing its official duties, so shut up!"

"Anyone who obstructs will be regarded as an accomplice of the evildoer! If there is resistance, he will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as these murderous words came out, everyone was stunned and looked at Gu Zhao with shocked eyes.

How dare any official dare to be so arrogant in the palace?

Gu Zhao didn't talk nonsense, but went straight forward, strode up the high steps, and arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

"Who is making a noise outside? Have you never learned the rules?" A nanny opened the embroidered curtain outside the hall door and walked out with a serious face.

I happened to meet Gu Zhao face to face.

Gu Zhao's lips curved up and he gave her a standard ceremonial smile, "Gu Zhao, Commander of the Crane Control Division, would like to see the Queen."

There was a look of surprise in Mammy's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Mr. Gu, please wait a moment until I can inform you."

Gu Zhao smiled lightly, "No need."

She gave a gentle push, and the tall nanny swayed to the side involuntarily, clearing the way to the door.

Xiao He, who was behind Gu Zhao, immediately stepped forward and lifted the embroidered curtain. Gu Zhao walked in with his head held high. Everyone, including Qin Xinglie, stayed at the door, just like two teams of guards guarding the main hall.

As soon as you enter the main hall, in addition to the gorgeous and extraordinary peony screen inlaid with gold and engraved flowers, you are greeted by a rich warm fragrance.

Although it was already February, the earth dragon was still burning in the palace, and the heat was rising from the gold-woven carpet underfoot, giving people the illusion of walking in warm water.

Gu Zhao walked around the screen, and the room that was originally full of laughter suddenly fell silent.

The first person to react was the maid next to the Queen. She raised her eyebrows and asked with an unhappy look, "Who are you? How dare you break into the Queen's Palace?"

Gu Zhao didn't even look at her. He just bowed slightly to the queen who was sitting on the throne in the middle of the hall. "Gu Zhao, the commander of the He Division, has been ordered to arrest the suspect. Please forgive me for any offense."

After Empress Liu entered the palace, she made a rule that every three, six or nine days, all the concubines in the palace would come to pay her respects.

Today is the day of greetings. Empress Liu is standing high above, and the concubines of the Sixth Palace are lined up below. They are saying some words that are neither salty nor light, and making some subtle remarks about you. I didn't expect that someone would come without informing me.

, break in.

Listening to these words and looking at this action, almost all the concubines could feel that this female official's attitude towards the queen was not that respectful.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Queen Liu, and most of them contained gloating about her misfortune.

Queen Liu naturally felt it, and she was very angry in her heart, but she still maintained her usual dignity on her face: "It turns out to be Mr. Gu, what are you doing in my harem to arrest the suspect?"

Gu Zhao said calmly, "Because this suspect is someone from the Queen's palace."

At this time, both the maids beside Queen Liu and the concubines sitting below could not help but be surprised.

"Bold!" The palace maid stepped forward, pointed at Gu Zhao and asked, "What do you mean? How can there be a suspect in the palace?"

Gu Zhao gave the palace maid a cold look, "Are you pointing your finger at me to threaten me? You didn't even know who I wanted to arrest, but you already started to exonerate her. Are you her accomplice?"

"

The palace maid looked shocked and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

It is not this routine for women in the palace to bicker and quarrel.

"You, you are so brave! You are so rude in front of the empress!" As the queen's right-hand man, the palace maid has never bowed her head in front of these concubines. How can she be willing to admit defeat to a female official of the outer court? Anyway, with the queen as her backer, I don't believe it.
