Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Xu Zun woke up from his dream and realized that the woman in the curtain was the supreme controller of the Daxuan Dynasty.
The Holy Queen Mother made a point of saying it. Now that she has said what she just said, it is impossible to take it back.
Xu Zun felt that he was suddenly cornered.
However, he seemed to have had an omen in his heart and was not too surprised.
However, he had some doubts.
Because Empress Dowager Lin has now reached the top of Daxuan and has all the power in the world, why is she so anxious to catch the Xuanmen rebels?
Could it be...there's something hidden in this?
Seeing that Xu Zun did not react appropriately, the Queen Mother was also a little curious and actually stood up in the curtain.
She originally thought that Xu Zun would be so frightened that he would kowtow to the ground, panic, or apply for grace and bargain with her, but Xu Zun just stood there and frowned.
Seeing the Queen Mother getting up, Xu Zun quickly lowered his head, but remained silent.
"What?" asked the Queen Mother, "Are you going to do it or not?"
"To the Queen Mother," Xu Zun said, "I only hope that I can find out everything, and that I can die in a clear way."
"oh?"
The Queen Mother was obviously interested in Xu Zun. She originally wanted to ask, but in the process of thinking, she seemed to understand what Xu Zun meant.
"You don't know..." the Queen Mother said quietly in the curtain, "I promised Ao'er that I will clear his name in seven days!"
Um……
What!!?
Xu Zun reacted for three seconds, and his body couldn't help but tremble violently.
The Ao'er mentioned by the Queen Mother should be the emperor today - Leo!
To clear his name...
Could it be...
"After all, he is my biological flesh and blood, and he will still be in charge of this world after all!"
Although the Queen Mother remained calm while speaking, Xu Zun could still feel her great emotional ups and downs.
It seems that Xu Zun's previous understanding of this powerful Queen Mother was only one-sided.
"When the assassination case comes out, Daxuan is in danger," the Queen Mother came to the curtain and said through the curtain, "Both mother and son had no choice but to use such a painful trick!
“But do you know,” the Queen Mother continued, “the four princes who were assassinated had more than enough prestige but not enough strength, but the truly powerful ones are all still alive!
"Xu Zun, do you understand what I mean?"
call……
Xu Zun was soaked in cold sweat and quickly bowed and said:
"Omi... I understand!"
What the Queen Mother meant was not difficult to understand. Xu Zun only knew that two princes had been assassinated before, but now it seemed that two more princes had been assassinated.
However, these four princes only have empty prestige and no strength.
But those who were truly powerful and could threaten the royal authority did not die in this assassination.
The Queen Mother was undoubtedly worried that those powerful princes would act strangely.
In other words, the Queen Mother's regime is not stable and is still in a precarious and difficult moment.
Although using the emperor as a scapegoat can temporarily alleviate the crisis in the Holy City, it cannot be solved once and for all.
Therefore, only by catching the Xuanmen rebels as soon as possible and making their crimes known to the world can we cure the symptoms and the root cause and truly solve the crisis.
only……
Xu Zun couldn't understand why he had to choose me for such an important task?
He wanted to ask, but felt it was abrupt, so he had to pretend to be solemn and said:
"I will obey Yi's decree, and I will do my best, even to the death!"
"Xu Zun, you are a smart person," the Queen Mother finally showed a satisfied expression and nodded. "Three feet of ice does not freeze in a day. The Xuanmen rebels can make such a big move under the eyes of the internal guards, which shows that
There is a big force behind it."
"yes……"
Xu Zun was secretly shocked. It seemed that the Queen Mother had already thought of this.
"So," the Queen Mother said, "I feel relieved when I hire an outsider. Besides... you have performed well before, so you are naturally the best person to investigate this case!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your love," Xu Zun clasped his fists again and said, "I have received the Holy Grace, and I must do it... I must do it..."
Xu Zun wanted to say "I will not give up even if I die", but he remembered what he had just said before and was so anxious that he couldn't think of words, so he actually said:
"I will risk my life! Oh... no, no... I will... I will get it done!!?"
"The reason why we have arranged so many titles for you is to make it easier for you to act in the Internal Guards, the Three Laws Division and the Divine Catching Division." The Queen Mother continued, "I have notified these departments to let them cooperate with your actions. If
If you disobey, you will be punished as a disobedient!"
After saying that, she raised her beautiful hand, pointed at the flower stand in front of Xu Zun and said:
"I have prepared an edict for you and stated my will in the edict. If you encounter any obstruction, just submit it to them for review."
Xu Zun quickly took the edict on the flower stand with both hands, but saw that the bottom of the edict was covered with a Daxuan Jade Seal, indicating that it was a very important royal edict.
Holding this heavy edict, Xu Zun felt extremely complicated.
Originally, this was an honor that could bring glory to the ancestors. With it, the entire Daxuan courtiers had to be afraid of themselves.
However, before this honor, there must be a deadline!
Seven days!
If you find nothing after seven days, then this honor will be your own reflection, and you can only recall it after your death.
"Besides," the Queen Mother pondered for a moment, then added, "If you want to check on anyone else, just tell Manager Lin."
"Yes!" Xu Zun quickly agreed.
"Okay," the Queen Mother waved her beautiful hand, "You can go down! I am looking forward to your good news!"
"Yes!" Xu Zun saluted again, then stepped back with heavy steps.
When he walked through the flowerbed in full bloom, he felt that the flowers were so beautiful that they were a bit dazzling. When he came to his senses, he realized that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
seven days...
seven days...
Xu Zun thought to himself, feeling that the seven-day period seemed like some kind of fate.
From now on, I will enter countdown mode!
Seeing Xu Zun coming out, Lin Chaofeng immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it? What arrangements does the Queen Mother have for you?"
Xu Zun quickly handed the edict to Lin Chaofeng. Lin Chaofeng's expression suddenly changed after reading it.
This edict from the Queen Mother seemed to have nothing to do with him, but in fact it was a slap in the face.
Lin Chaofeng has been in charge of the internal defense for many years. Now, except for such a large-scale assassination incident, he did not investigate. Naturally, it cannot be justified.
Now, the Queen Mother hastily appointed Xu Zun as the special case investigator, obviously full of disappointment with the internal guards he led.
Therefore, Lin Chaofeng's eyes when she looked at Xu Zun were already filled with thorns.
But... now that things have come to this, how can he dare to disobey the order? He immediately closed the edict and asked Xu Zun:
"So... where do you plan to start? Are you still investigating the assassination?"
"Sir," Xu Zun noticed Lin Chaofeng's strange behavior and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am a small county lieutenant in a humble position. Now I am in danger and I am ordered to do something. I am panicking! I hope you can help me more in the future!"
"So panicked...what?" Lin Chaofeng obviously didn't understand.
"If I am lucky enough to be able to find traces of Xuanmen's traitors, sir, please rest assured, it will definitely all be your credit!"
Xu Zun knew that he had to make his position clear now. If he wanted to successfully investigate the case, he must get the support of the chief internal security officer.
Otherwise, everything can only be zero.
Sure enough, after hearing Xu Zun's flattery, Lin Chaofeng softened slightly and said:
"The edict makes it very clear that anyone who dares not to cooperate is equivalent to resisting the decree. Xu Zun, how are you going to investigate, have you thought about it?"
