In Shangyang Palace, the sky is dark outside and rain is pouring down. There are candles burning inside the palace, but it looks much brighter than usual.

"Someone dares to chase and kill the internal guards in Luoyang City at the feet of the Emperor. How brave he is!" After listening to Zhou You's report, Wu Zetian, who was sitting behind the emperor's case, couldn't help but look stern, then she frowned at Zhou You and said, "Zhou You

, are you sure that in the bloody eagle cases that happened in Jiannan, Longyou and Hedong, all the people who died were internal guards? "

"It was not completely certain at first, but based on the news sent by Sun Dianchen a few days ago, and the fact that Sun Dianchen was killed in Luoyang City today, it has been confirmed," Zhou You said, "Your Majesty, I feel that these people

You are so audacious that you dare to massacre the internal guards. I am afraid that your intentions are not trivial! In addition, I found a special ecstasy drug in the incense burner in your majesty's palace, which shows that these traitors are probably coming for you, your majesty."

"At me? Do they still want to kill me directly?" Wu Zetian sneered, then narrowed her eyes and said: "The palace has been haunted recently. It seems that someone is really causing trouble! Okay, I want to take a look.

What are your next moves? Let’s see who jumps out first.”

"Wander around and find out for me! Being able to kill dozens of internal guards in Jiannan, Longyou and Hedong, thousands of miles apart, in a short period of time, it seems that the power behind these people cannot be underestimated,"

Immediately after, Wu Zetian continued.

Zhou You, who responded, also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, our internal guards have always been secretive in their actions. The thieves were able to know the whereabouts of the internal guards and killed so many internal guards at once, almost at the same time..."

"Do you suspect that there is a traitor among the inner guards?" Wu Zetian looked at Zhou You with an expression on his face, but Zhou You was noncommittal: "Your Majesty, it is not necessarily just that there is a traitor among the inner guards. Someone can arrange manpower to your majesty's side.

Come here, or he bribed people around His Majesty to put ecstasy drugs in the incense burner in His Majesty's palace. This shows that the person behind the plot has great eyes and hands, maybe..."

Wu Zetian saw Zhou You looking like he couldn't continue, so he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and continued in a cold voice: "Maybe the person who planned the plan is by my side, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty wants to lure the snake out of its hole, so you need to be careful," Zhou Youlian said.

Wu Zetian, who looked slightly relieved after hearing this, looked at Zhou You with softened eyes, and then said: "Zhou You, you are serious! This time, it is also thanks to your astuteness that you noticed the thief's plan in advance. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will still

You will really fall into their scheme. It is not in vain that I mentioned you as the leader of the inner guard pavilion. It seems that I have not misjudged the person."

"Your Majesty has already said that these are just matters within the scope of my responsibilities," Zhou You continued, "Your Majesty, these people are hidden so deeply that even the internal guards were not aware of them before. This makes me unable to help but

I thought of the Youzhou case last year. Although the traitors were finally eliminated, the origins and identities of the thieves were still unclear."

"Are you saying that the people who massacred the internal guards and the thieves with evil intentions in Youzhou belong to the same force?" Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zhou You was noncommittal: "I can't be sure, but I just feel that they are also bold and act without scruples. Those killers and thieves are indeed well-trained. If you want to cultivate such people, you can't do it overnight."

"Yes! You are right," Wu Zetian nodded slightly, and then couldn't help but said angrily: "There is such a force hidden in the Zhou Dynasty that cannot be underestimated and has deep penetration. The internal guards did not have it before.

I don’t realize at all that Huang Shengyan, the chief minister of the Imperial Guard, has really neglected his duty!”

"Your Majesty, perhaps this force has penetrated into the inner guard. In this case, it can be said that salt has been melted into the water, how could it be easily discovered? This cannot be entirely blamed on the Grand Pavilion Leader," Zhou Youlian said.

Because he was a popular person in front of the emperor, Huang Shengyan, the chief minister of the Imperial Guard, was very good to him. It was rare to meet such an informed and easy-to-get-together boss, so Zhou You naturally didn't want him to make Wu Zetian dissatisfied.

After being replaced, once Xiao Qingfang is promoted to become the leader of the cabinet, Snake Ling's eldest sister becomes the leader of the inner guard, and he, the leader of the inner guard, will not feel comfortable!

"Okay, you don't have to defend Huang Shengyan. He didn't even know that the inner guard was infiltrated. This is already his incompetence and a big mistake," Wu Zetian said.

Wu Zetian struggled in the political whirlpool for most of her life, and she was used to seeing people who would do whatever it takes to get the upper hand. Others wanted to add insult to injury to their superiors in order to take advantage of the opportunity to rise to the top. However, Zhou You actually spoke up for Huang Shengyan. In Wu Zetian's view, it might be a bit of a charlatan.

A person's loyalty also shows that she is very satisfied with traveling around because of her desire for power. She feels more at ease when traveling around like this!

Zhou You naturally didn't know that his speaking for Huang Shengyan would actually make Wu Zetian think so much. Then he saw Wu Zetian muttered: "Huang Chengyan is not young anymore. Maybe it's time to change to someone younger and more capable."

"Your Majesty, the chief minister is relatively experienced, capable and conscientious," Zhou Youlian said. He just wanted to prevent Xiao Qingfang from taking the position easily, but these words made Wu Zetian shake her head.

In fact, the meaning of Wu Zetian's words was very clear, and she already had the intention of promoting Zhou You. However, Zhou You, who was a fan of the authorities, did not expect Wu Zetian to have such an intention for a while, not to mention that he had not been the leader of the Internal Guard Pavilion for a long time.

With Zhou You being like this, Wu Zetian naturally wouldn't think that with his shrewdness, he wouldn't understand what she meant. She just thought that he was being humble and low-key and refused to compete with Huang Shengyan for the seat of the chief minister.

"Okay, you go down!" Wu Zetian didn't say any more. She also felt that traveling around needed some training, so she sent him away.

After leaving the palace, he went on a tour of the Inner Guards Mansion, and returned to his own mansion amidst the roar of thunder at night.

"Master, are you back?" Yu'er, who was wearing a beautiful white skirt, saw Zhou You coming back and hurriedly greeted him, took off his slightly wet robe, and then asked someone to bring him a bowl of ginger.

Soup: "Master, drink it while it's hot! Go and get rid of the cold!"

"The mere cold can't help me, but this weather is really making me moldy from the inside out." Zhou You shook his head and smiled, took the bowl of ginger soup handed over by Yu'er, drank it all in one breath, and then left.

After sitting down at the main seat above, enjoying Yu'er's massage, he narrowed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Oh, I'm still comfortable at home! This damn weather, no matter what, I really don't want to go out. However, a storm is coming! Some people can't stay idle even if it rains, because they think the wind and rain are not strong enough!"

"Master, what happened?" Yu'er couldn't help but ask, Zhou You shook his head lightly and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that someone was intercepting and killing the inner guards in Luoyang City, and they didn't want me to be idle. In that case.

, then I’ll just wait to learn their clever tricks.”

"What? Who is so bold to kill the inner guards in the divine capital?" Yu'er was a little surprised, but Zhou You smiled and said: "What a fuss! In this divine capital, there are not many people who want to kill all the inner guards.

?There are probably not a few people who want the emperor to die."

"Let the emperor die?" Yu'er whispered, subconsciously covering her mouth with her hands, and then whispered in a slightly frightened voice: "Master, don't scare me! Is there someone who wants to kill the emperor... Master, you know who it is

?"

Zhou You, who turned his head to look at Yu'er, said with a playful smile: "It won't be the prince anyway, he doesn't have the courage yet. Who it might be, you can help me think about it." Those who like the film and TV world, please sign in.
