0Wen Chenghao's facial expression changed drastically. As he looked forward, he saw that the person's face was covered by a black veil, causing him to be unable to see who the person in front of him was.    

    

He only furrowed his brows for a moment before laughing, "You're quite bold to actually want to murder an imperial court official. Are you courting death or …"    

    

Before Wen Chenghao could finish his words, he felt something flash in front of his eyes and darkness fell before his eyes. Then, his entire body collapsed onto the ground.    

    

Wen Chenghao remembered that the last thing he saw was a pair of feet that slowly appeared in front of him.    

    

It seems like … Women's.    

    

When Soong Yun returned to his home, he immediately saw Zhou Bao who was standing there. When he saw him, Zhou Bao immediately came over and said, "Uncle, is my father back?"    

    

He looked at Zhou Bao and said, "Soon, your dad will be back soon, but you have to go in first. It would be bad if you get cold like this."    

    

Zhou Bao nodded obediently, then turned around and left.    

    

Soong Yun returned to his room.    

    

After a moment of thought, he got up from the bed, took out some ink and paper, and began to write.    

    

A carrier pigeon with black feathers flew over. Soong Yun tied the note on his feet, and only laid back down after seeing it disappear into the night.    

    

On the second day at court, many people noticed something. Wen Chenghao did not come to court.    

    

This kind of thing angered Empress Dowager very quickly. Everyone could see that Wen Chenghao's reaction last night had made Lee Wanning unhappy, but now he still dared to call it quits. How could Lee Wanning not be angry?    

    

Lee Wanning's patience seemed to have reached its limit. She told someone to go to Wen Chenghao's house and see if he was going to die or what. Those who came back said that Wen Chenghao never went back.    

    

Lee Wanning frowned and said, "He didn't go back?" What is Master Wen trying to do? Do you really want to rebel!? "    

    

No one answered.    

    

Lee Wanning immediately said, "Well, in that case, Su Ann, get someone to investigate where Master Wen went. Everyone else, let's continue the discussion!"    

    

After the next assembly, Lee Wanning let the palace maid lead the emperor to the palace, but she left together with Su Ann to another place.    

    

That was in the basement of the palace. If Su Ann didn't tell her, Lee Wanning wouldn't have known that there was such a place under the palace.    

    

Wen Chenghao was inside.    

    

Everything that happened just now was just a play by Lee Wanning. Wen Chenghao was brought here by Lee Wanning last night. Lee Wanning also heard everything he said in the Yi-Hong Courtyard.    

    

When he saw Lee Wanning, Wen Chenghao, who had his eyes closed, immediately opened them. He looked at Lee Wanning and said, "Empress Dowager Lee, what are you trying to do? As the empress dowager of a nation, you actually dare to capture an official ordered by the imperial government? "    

    

She looked at him and said, "Master Wen's words are really funny. Just from the things Master Wen did, not to mention locking you up here, even if I killed you, no one would dare to say anything!"    

    

Lee Wanning's words caused Wen Chenghao's expression to change. However, he quickly said, "I don't understand what Empress Dowager is saying! This subject is all for the sake of Yingjia, every single action is tied to the safety of the entire nation. Empress Dowager must have heard some sort of rumor that caused her to treat this subject like this! "    

    

Seeing Wen Chenghao's heartbroken expression, Lee Wanning almost believed him.    

    

But at this time, her face was just indifferent, and said, "Master Wen, you said that it's good for the whole of Yingjia, but behind the scenes, you actually colluded with the martial arts world to rebel against the imperial government, do you think I don't know!?"    

    

Wen Chenghao's expression was still calm as he said, "Empress Dowager, there is no reason for you to add me to your crimes. If you really want to punish me for my crimes, then it should be under an imperial decree. As long as the evidence is conclusive, this subject doesn't have anything to say.    

    

Lee Wanning looked at him and said, "To be honest, I actually rather liked Master Wen."    

    

Unexpectedly, Wen Chenghao's expression changed when he heard Lee Wanning's words. He then looked at Lee Wanning.    

    

Lee Wanning walked slowly as she said, "Previously, Master Wen, as an official, was able to solve a lot of strange cases by relying on your talent. I admit that. "Before the previous emperor passed away, you also told me that Master Wen was a reliable person and that I could promote you more. But now, you have not only disappointed me, you have also disappointed the previous emperor!"    

    

Wen Chenghao's expression changed again and again.    

    

He gritted his teeth and looked at her.    

    

Lee Wanning closed her eyes for a moment and said, "Master Wen, I won't ask about anything else now. As long as you sincerely repent and say the person who planned this incident with you, I will let you off!"    

    

Hearing Lee Wanning's words, Su Ann was stopped by Lee Wanning just as he was about to step forward.    

    

She stared fixedly at the person in front of her.    

    

Wen Chenghao suddenly laughed. He looked at the person in front of him and said, "Do you think I would believe you?"    

    

Lee Wanning raised her eyebrows, "It's fine if you don't believe me. In any case, death is the only outcome. Whether it's ancient history or a long history, it's Master Wen's choice!"    

    

With that, Lee Wanning turned and left.    

    

Wen Chenghao's voice came from behind, "You, Demon Empress! I will not tell you about this! "    

    

Lee Wanning's footsteps paused for a moment. Then, as if she didn't hear anything, she continued to walk forward.    

    

Su Ann stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, we can look into this matter ourselves. This Wen Chenghao …" It must not be left! "    

    

Lee Wanning acknowledged and said, "I know, but if I can lose a life, I can still do it. Eunuch Su, I know you want to say this to me, but …" I still want to be fine. It's best if I can quietly end this matter. It's best if … "    

    

Su Ann looked at her and said, "Then... Where's General Song? "    

    

Lee Wanning also knew about the matter of Soong Yun and Wen Chenghao going to the Yi-Hong Yuan last night.    

    

She was in the room next door.    

    

She couldn't figure out Soong Yun's thoughts.    

    

Although he had brought him all the way here, he had been very cruel and merciless in the bandit's nest.    

    

However, he clearly had the chance to tell them about Zhou Qu and himself last night, but he didn't.    

    

Lee Wanning couldn't figure out what was going on.    

    

If Song Jianyun had brought up this matter last night, it was clear that they would not be in such a situation today.    

    

Once word got out that the Empress Dowager and General Zhou were actually an old couple, Zhou Qu definitely wouldn't be able to take on such a heavy responsibility. After all, in the eyes of the world, he had automatically attributed him to the side of the 'empress dowager'.    

    

Such a thing was naturally not a good thing for Lee Wanning.    

    

However, Soong Yun didn't say it last night.    

    

Seeing Lee Wanning's hesitation, Su Ann said from the side, "Empress Dowager, this is a very important matter. According to this old servant's opinion, this Soong Yun …" You can't keep it. "    

    

Lee Wanning's brow creased as she said, "I still haven't thought about it …"    

    

"Empress Dowager, don't blame this old servant for being ruthless. However, this matter is very important. After all, there weren't many people who knew about Empress Dowager's past, and it's precisely because of this that they need to seal off all their mouths!"    

    

Lee Wanning looked at Su Ann and said slowly, "If that's the case, Zhou Heng knows about it. Even Princess Changle and a lot of people know about it. Do I have to kill them all?"    

    

After a pause, Lee Wanning smiled and said, "There's also you, Eunuch Su. You know about this as well."    

    

Hearing Lee Wanning's last sentence, Su Ann's expression changed. When he wanted to look at Lee Wanning again, she had already left.    

    

"This matter, let me think carefully. Eunuch Su must have had a hard time staying by my side. Go back and rest well!"    

    

As expected, Su Ann did not follow them anymore.    

    

Lee Wanning returned to her room alone.    

    

She felt as if her recent self had fallen into a dead end.    

    

The matter with Xiliang and Wen Chenghao had left her completely exhausted. So much so that when the people beside her were talking to her, Lee Wanning would go back and listen.    

    

She had heard a lot of Su Ann's words subconsciously.    

    

But if Wen Chenghao didn't have the intention to rebel, then why did he say that last night?    

    

Lee Wanning thought about it and still felt that something was wrong. She stood up and saw Ann Yang walk in, "Muhou, Meihua of the imperial garden is open. I want to go and take a look."    

    

Lee Wanning rubbed her brows as she spoke to the palace maids beside her. "Take good care of the emperor. I'm going somewhere else."    

    

The palace maid nodded and left with Ann Yang. Ann Yang had been talking to her about going to see him after she finished her business.    

    

Lee Wanning didn't know why, but she felt very uneasy. After seeing the palace maid take Ann Yang away, she went to the dungeon by herself.    

    

Wen Chenghao was surprised when he saw her return. After looking at himself, he smiled and said, "What? Empress Dowager is here to kill me?"    

    

Lee Wanning looked at him and said, "Master Wen, I am very serious and truly want to think of Yingjia for the sake of the entire nation. If you have anything you want to say, you can tell me."    

    

Lee Wanning's eyes were full of seriousness. Wen Chenghao looked at her and said, "Empress Dowager, do you have the habit of tying people up to talk?"    

    

Lee Wanning was stunned for a moment, then went up and untied the rope from Wen Chenghao's hand.    

    

Wen Chenghao looked at Lee Wanning and asked, "What does Empress Dowager want to ask?"    

    

Lee Wanning looked at him and said, "What can you tell me?"    

    

Wen Chenghao let go of his hand, looked at Lee Wanning, and said, "Empress, look, what is this?"
