The next morning, Emperor Xin leisurely got up from his bed under Queen Jiang's clothes.
He suddenly heard a palace maid reporting from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong is in the palace seeking an audience.”
Ever since Wen Zhong had used his Heavenly Eye to eliminate the spies in the palace yesterday morning, the eunuchs and palace maids in his bedroom had been replaced.
However, when he heard this news, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
The Grand Preceptor had actually come to the palace so early to ask for an audience. Could it be that he had discovered something?
"Your Majesty…Husband, I will go to the West Palace to see Concubine Huang.”
When Queen Jiang heard that Wen Zhong wanted to see Emperor Xin, she immediately said in embarrassment.
Although she had been queen for a few years, last night was obviously different.
She didn't have the face to meet outsiders now.
It was not difficult for Emperor Xin to see through Queen Jiang's intention to escape.
He laughed smugly and did not stop her.
"Wife, you should indeed visit Concubine Huang and pass on your experience.”
Upon hearing Di Xin's words, Queen Jiang couldn't help but glare at him with a red face. Then, she left the palace without daring to stay any longer.
In response, Di Xin couldn't help but chuckle.
Soon after Queen Jiang left, he met Wen Zhong in a side hall of the palace.
"Is there something important that Grand Tutor has come to find me for?”
Di Xin asked Wen Zhong directly.
"Your Majesty, this old minister will deal with Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan according to Your Majesty's orders.”
"In order to find out if there were any more of his henchmen in Zhaoge, we interrogated them with the Heavenly Eye.”
"I didn't expect to coincidentally learn an unexpected piece of news from the other party!”
Wen Zhong said solemnly.
He had originally planned to execute Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan as per Di Xin's instructions to ensure that they would be eliminated.
However, in order to make sure that he didn't miss anything, he used the Heaven's Eye divine power to interrogate him again.
In the end, he found out that there was someone behind Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan.
Seeing Wen Zhong's solemn expression, Di Xin could not help but frown.
"What unexpected news did the Grand Preceptor receive?”
He asked Wen Zhong directly.
To be able to make Wen Zhong so serious, this so-called unexpected news must have had a huge impact on Great Shang.
Wen Zhong's answer quickly confirmed his guess.
"According to Wei Ziqi, who was interrogated by this old subject with the Heaven's Eye, there were several vassals outside of Zhaoge who secretly supported the poisoning.”
"The one with the greatest strength is Marquis of the West, Ji Chang!”
Wen Zhong said to Di Xin.
"Marquis of the West, Ji Chang?"
Upon hearing this name, a hint of amusement appeared in Di Xin's eyes.
No wonder Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan dared to poison Wen Zhong when he wasn't around. It turned out that they had Ji Chang's support.
As one of the four great dukes, the strength of Xi Qi that Ji Chang controlled was only below his father-in-law, Marquis of Dong Bo, Jiang Huanchu.
In addition, Ji Chang had always had the image of a good person and had many dukes of various sizes on good terms.
Suhu, the Marquis of Jizhou who had just surrendered and was on his way to Zhaoge, was one of them.
It was not hard for Di Xin to imagine that Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziqi would think that if they were really poisoned to death, with the support of so many vassals, even if Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong returned to Zhaoge and found out the truth, he would not be able to do anything to them.
After all, there was no one else of the direct bloodline who could inherit the throne in the entire Yinshang royal family.
Thinking of this, Di Xin shook his head.
With Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan's intelligence, it was no wonder that they were fooled.
He was almost certain that if he was poisoned to death, Ji Chang would most likely turn around and expose Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan's poisoning.
Then, they quickly raised their troops to rebel against the Shang Dynasty.
At that time, once the rumors of the Yinshang royal family being unreasonable spread, the righteousness of the world would all belong to Xi Qi. It would be difficult for the foundation of Great Shang not to perish.
"This old fox is really quite cunning!”
Di Xin thought to himself.
