Chapter 51 The Queen's Order

"I will strictly investigate the person who poisoned me!"

Don't let me find out who it is... Mr. Honglu Temple's face turned red and he was furious.

Although Zhao Wujiang didn't say it explicitly, he knew that if he could start with food, he would definitely be one of the "ones" in the three departments of Honglu Temple, the Household Department and the Rites Department.

He looked at Zhao Wujiang's slightly pale cheeks and asked with concern: "Brother Zhao, are you okay?"

"No problem." Zhao Wujiang waved his hand.

"Brother, I have some good medicinal materials at home. I will send someone to get them right away." The minister of Honglu Temple slowly widened his eyebrows. He was afraid that Zhao Wujiang would not agree, so he added:

"Be careful, brother Zhao, don't refuse!"

Zhao Wujiang nodded.

The minister of Honglu Temple said kindly:

"Brother Zhao, you go back and rest first, while we investigate for the brotherhood here."

Zhao Wujiang looked back at the Moon Worshiping Princess who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and then stepped into the door with the Honglu Temple Minister.

Along the way, Honglu Temple Qing and Zhao Wujiang were talking and laughing, and sometimes their attitude was even slightly lower than that of Zhao Wujiang.

On the way, the officials from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites couldn't believe it when they saw this scene.

The minister of Honglu Temple is one of the nine ministers and a third-rank official. When did he treat a harem eunuch so politely?

Even the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Rites, both of the third rank, did not see the Minister of Honglu Temple being so warm and polite.

Under the enthusiastic escort of the minister of Honglu Temple, Zhao Wujiang came to the gate of Honglu Temple.

"Brother Zhao, I can only send you here temporarily." Honglu Temple Minister said sincerely, with gratitude in his eyes.

Zhao Wujiang cupped his fists:

"Brother Li is busy first, we must do it as soon as possible."

The minister of Honglu Temple nodded, said goodbye with clasped fists, and hurried back to handle matters.

The two young officials of Honglu Temple standing at the door were already frozen in place. The Lord Temple Minister actually called the young eunuch in front of him a brother-in-law...

Seeing Zhao Wujiang step out of the door, they quickly bowed and looked extremely respectful:

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Wujiang nodded, then frowned, because he heard the faint screams, but he didn't know where they were.

"You two, did you hear the screams from the ministers of Honglu Temple?"

The gatekeeper nodded and bowed, and said flatteringly:

"Mr. Zhao, it's Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Household Affairs who is teaching his nephew a lesson."

"Master Liu sent someone to investigate what his nephew Liu Mang did in Dongshi today more than half an hour ago. He found that Liu Mang had lied to him and is now educating him."

"The little people heard from colleagues passing by that Liu Mang was hung up, and Master Liu was whipping him with a whip. His skin and flesh were all torn apart..."

"That's it. Remember to remind him to pay back the money."

Zhao Wujiang nodded and left here with his hands behind his back.

...

Yangxin Hall, the emperor's bedroom.

The empress is closing her eyes to rest.

She had dealt with many matters and had just returned from the imperial study.

"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door, and Zhao Wujiang called softly from outside:

"Your Majesty, Xiao Zhaozi wants to see you."

"Come in." The empress said angrily. The palace was guarded by hidden dragon guards. Zhao Wujiang just opened the door and walked in. There was no need to be so cautious. He had to ask questions every time he came back.

Zhao Wujiang opened the door and saw the empress sitting upright.

Well, Xuanyuan Jing's was much bigger... He recalled the wind and moon in front of the Moon Worshiping Princess that he saw today, and compared it to the wind and moon that he accidentally glimpsed last time when he sealed the heart of the empress.

"You can just come in directly from now on. If anyone else comes here, the eunuch at the gate will notify you." The empress slowly closed her eyes and leaned lightly on the chair.

Zhao Wujiang raised his eyebrows: "What if you are taking a shower?"

"Even if I take a shower and change clothes, I won't be caught by you. You don't have to be so careful." The empress snorted softly.

"In case, I mean just in case." Zhao Wujiang sat next to the empress and said seriously:

"What if I catch you taking a shower and you suddenly become lustful and jealous, and you insist on letting me sleep with you?"

"Ahem..." The scene of Zhao Wujiang's love affair with the concubines appeared in the empress's mind, her cheeks were slightly red, and her tone was slightly unnatural:

"I don't need to sleep with you."

"I don't know who it is. Every time I do something for her, I can't help but look at her. She must have been coveting my body for a long time..." Zhao Wujiang raised his eyebrows at the empress.

"I'm afraid you'll make a mistake and expose your identity!"

The empress said in a deep voice. She felt her cheeks were slightly hot. Some things were getting darker and darker. She changed the subject:

"Is the hospital selling medicinal materials again this morning?"

Zhao Wujiang nodded, with a worried look on his eyebrows: "Yes, you'd better be mentally prepared. The Loulan Gu worm may involve many more people than you and I imagined."

The empress was silent for a while, then took a deep breath:

"I understand..."

"We have to win over some powerful veterans in the DPRK and make important use of some rising stars with both ability and political integrity."

Zhao Wujiang rubbed his fingers:

"Zhongshu Ling Liu Zhe is one of them.

The edict had to go through Zhongshu's sect and then to the Shangshu Province for execution. Liu Zhe was very important here. He was particular about what could be passed and what could not be passed.
