Chapter 10; Fury

Sending Xu Wenwu's head was just the beginning.

Her revenge against the Xu family and the Gao family goes far beyond that.

Beijing.

It has been spread that Xu Wenwu died in the Dali Temple prison and his head was cut off and sent to the Xu family.

Everyone who heard this was shocked.

Does anyone dare to go to Dali Temple and kill people these days?

Moreover, he was the minister-in-waiting and nephew of the left prime minister.

However, despite being shocked, many people still felt happy. Xu Wenwu had done a lot of evil things based on his status in recent years.

Bullying others with power is considered a minor offense, but he especially likes to keep vicious dogs. Over the years, many people have been maimed, maimed, or died by his vicious dogs.

After being killed this time, many people who had suffered the disaster felt that it was God who had foresight.

The residence of Gao's family, Prime Minister of the Left.

Gao Yanming's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with surging murderous intent.

His beloved nephew was actually killed and beheaded in less than one night after being imprisoned in Dali Temple.

And he also gave the head to his sister by name.

It's simply extremely bad.

"Brother, could this be your Majesty's fault?"

Xu Zhao pointed to the top of his head.

In his opinion, being able to kill someone silently in Dali Temple and take the head away to his house is not something that just anyone can do.

During the day, Xu Wenwu almost caused the eldest prince to lose his life. The people above had this motive.

However, Left Prime Minister Gao Yanming shook his head.

He had such suspicions at first, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem to be true.

It is true that there is indeed a motive above.

However, if someone wants to kill a minister who almost killed the eldest prince, is this necessary?

For this crime alone, when the eldest prince and others came back yesterday, they were ordered to be killed on the spot.

Neither he nor the Xu family could say a word.

Why go to the extra step of imprisoning him first and then killing him?

"Since it's not His Majesty, then could it be the Queen?"

As soon as Xu Zhao said these words, Gao Yanming quickly glared at him.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"I will ask people to investigate this matter. You should go back first and comfort my little sister."

Hearing this, Xu Zhao said nothing more, responded, stood up and walked out.

Gao Yanming was the only one left in the study.

"King Queen"

In fact, it was not that he had no doubts. He even said that when he learned that Xu Wenwu had been killed, the first thing he thought of as the murderer was Queen Wang.

The eldest prince is her lifeblood, and she almost lost her life outside the city because of Xu Wenwu yesterday.

Back then, when His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne and the Queen was still the Princess, she was known for her clever and ruthless methods.

Almost no one who provoked her ended well.

Yesterday, she actually took it lightly and did not give any punishment, which is very abnormal in itself.

He was still thinking about asking his wife to take his little sister to the palace today to plead guilty, and try his best to let Queen Wang vent her anger.

This will also make the subsequent rescue of Xu Wenwu smoother.

But

Not only did he have such suspicions, but the King of Jin, the Duke of Zhenguo, and even the Emperor, who knew about yesterday's incident, also had such suspicions.

After all, he had the ability and motive to kill Xu Wenwu silently in Dali Temple.

Queen Wang definitely takes the first place.

As for the Queen Wang who was in the middle palace, she had not received any news at this time and was playing a daily verbal game with the women in the harem.

Until an old nun walked in from outside and whispered a few words in her ear.

There is no ordinary woman who can sit in the position of Queen of the Central Palace.

Although the news shocked her heart, she was even a little shocked and angry.

But there was no trace of emotion on her face.

She nodded slowly, smiled lightly and chatted with the concubines for a while before sending them away.

As the palace concubine left, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

A touch of coldness crept up.

What the old nanny just said in her ears was the news that Xu Wenwu was killed in Dali Temple, his head was cut off, and he was sent to the Gao family.

Logically speaking, Xu Wenwu's death would not have any impact on her.

Normally, I would just listen to it as an interesting thing.

But because of what happened yesterday, when I heard the news now, the meaning was a little different.

"Are people outside suspecting that I asked people to do this?"

The old grandma nodded in response.

The moment she heard the news just now, her first reaction was the same.

However, it was only for a moment.

After all, she has been serving the Queen all year round. After the Queen came back yesterday, although she was furious and wanted to deal with Xu Wenwu.

But he didn't really take action.

It is true that Xu Wenwu is just a little guy, but behind him are Xu Zhao and Gao Yanming.

These two are both high-ranking officials and powerful ministers in the court, and each has many connections under his command.

Especially Gao Yanming, most of the officials in the court were his disciples and former officials.

She would not be stupid enough to fall out with such two powerful officials.

People outside said that the eldest prince's position as heir apparent was secure, but she knew it very well.

As long as the emperor doesn't issue an order for a day, the eldest prince will always be just the eldest prince.

After being furious about what happened yesterday, she was actually a little happy. Because of Xu Wenwu's fault, she was magnanimous and had sold Gao Yanming and Xu Zhao a favor.

Even if they can't be drawn into the eldest prince's camp immediately, at least at some point, they will be willing to speak for the eldest prince.

However, Xu Wenwu died.

Not only did this make her plan aborted in an instant, but she would even be resented by these two people because of it?

How can she not be angry if she steals the chicken but loses the rice?

"Who did it?"

There was irrepressible anger in her voice.

The maids were silent, lowering their heads one by one to reduce their sense of presence.

Only the old nanny was not affected. She had been following the queen since before she got married. For more than 20 years, what kind of storms had she not experienced?

"As soon as we got the news, the people below went to investigate."

"The murderer's methods were very clean and did not leave any clues."

Snapped!

Queen Wang directly smashed the tea cup at hand.

The sound of shattering was very harsh, and the maids and ladies around them knelt on the ground.

Not only did the old nanny not kneel down, she even took a few steps forward to help the queen.

"Your Majesty, please calm down and don't get angry."

"Things have happened. What we need to do now is let those two companies know some of your thoughts."

With her comfort, Queen Wang's breathing became much smoother.

"What do you think of this matter?"
