She lay in front of Wu Zhao, who was as soft as jade.
Shen Fei felt extremely good.
If he was not wrong, from this moment on, the empress had already completely realized what losing him would mean to her in the future.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. When I was attacking Ning Yuxi, I was injured. It finally acted up.“
"I need to rest and recover my strength.“
Wu Zhao hurriedly nodded. Then, he instructed the shadow guards,"
"Immediately bring Minister Chen back to the residence to recuperate!“
The shadow guards hurriedly brought Shen Fei onto the horse.
At the same time, Wu Zhao hurriedly got on his horse and left the hunting ground.
After returning to the hunting ground, Wu Zhao's expression was serious. He allowed the officials to ask him what had happened in the hunting ground.
Wu Zhao did not explain.
Wu Zhao immediately ordered the army to return to court.
After returning to the palace, Wu Zhao quickly summoned Zhao Zhen, the Mirror Master of the Black Water Platform.
Although the founder of Black Water Platform was Shen Fei, the accusation of this department was still to serve the Great Zhou royal family.
Wu Zhao immediately handed the letter that Shen Fei had left to her, which was about the Dayuan Empire's Hucha Tiemu 'er's personal account, to Shi Zhaozhen, the Mirror Master of the Black Water Platform.
"Zhao Zhen, did you obtain this letter a month ago?“
Zhao Zhen glanced at the letter.
Without any hesitation, he hurriedly nodded.
"It was indeed obtained a month ago.“
Wu Zhao frowned slightly and asked again,""Zhao Zhen, how did you obtain this letter from ten years ago?“
Zhao Zhen replied,"Ever since I took up the post of the Mirror Master of the Black Water Platform, the Head Honorable Sir (Shen Fei) ordered me to investigate Lin Xu Ru's identity. Three years ago, I sent my trusted subordinate to spy in Wenchang Academy."“
"Your subordinate's spy successfully infiltrated Wenchang Academy three years ago. It was also from that moment that he began to try to get close to Lin Xu Ru. However, Lin Xu Ru was very cautious and her interactions were as light as water.“
" My spy tried many tricks, but he still couldn't get close to Lin Xu Ru. But as time passed, my spy discovered that Lin Xu Ru would go to a place called Yangxin Temple on the third day of every month, no matter if it was sunny or rainy.“
"My spies have infiltrated Yangxin Temple many times. They found that every time Lin Xuru entered the temple, she would drink tea and chat with a Taoist priest named Changmei. Each time, they would chat for at least an hour and at most two to three hours. Their conversation was very strict and did not seem to be a casual chat.“
"After I learned of this news, I began to send spies to Yangxin Temple. They started with the long-browed Taoist priest. After half a year, the spy finally verified the true identity of the long-browed Taoist priest. He was born of a Yuan person and a Luoyang person. He grew up in Luoyang and was later recruited by a Yuan intelligence organization.“
" He became a Daoist of the Yangxin Temple, and his only mission was to establish a bridge of communication between Lin Xu Ru and Hucha Tiemu 'er. The purpose of Lin Xu Ru going to the Yangxin Temple on the third day of every month was to pass on information.“
"We obtained this letter from the long-browed Daoist. Originally, this letter should have been destroyed. However, because of the long-browed Daoist's carelessness, he threw this letter into the fire barrel and didn't find that the fire barrel didn't catch fire.“
"Later, one of his junior brothers discovered this letter. Because the contents of this letter were recorded in Yuan language, his junior brother was sure that this letter contained some kind of information. However, in the following years, the two of them lived in harmony, so his junior brother only kept the letter and did not reveal it.“
"Last month, after we locked onto the long-browed Daoist, we began to investigate everyone in the Daoist temple and completely sealed off the news. Later, we found a breakthrough from the long-browed Daoist's junior brother's mouth and found this letter.“
Wu Zhao looked haggard when he heard this.
She couldn't tell from Zhao Zhen's words that he wasn't lying. It was difficult to make a lie so real.
"How was Shangguan Wan 'er sent to Luoyang?" Wu Zhao sighed and asked. Why did it end up in Lin Xuru's hands?“
Zhao Zhen replied truthfully," After interrogating the long-browed Daoist, we only know that Shangguan Wan 'er is indeed Hucha Tie Mu' er's biological daughter. As for how she was sent to Luoyang and what they and Lin Xu Ru were planning, we still need to interrogate Lin Xu Ru and Shangguan Wan 'er before we can find out.“
Wu Zhao took a deep breath.
He made a prompt decision.
"Zhao Zhen, listen to this Emperor's decree and immediately head to Wenchang Academy to capture Lin Xuru. No matter what, this Emperor must investigate this matter thoroughly.“
At this moment, Zhao Zhen blinked slightly and replied hesitantly,
"Your Majesty, this…this Lin Xu Ru was already arrested four hours ago and sent to the Black Water Platform's prison.“
Wu Zhao was shocked.
Zhao Zhen knelt on the ground and continued trembling,
"Your Majesty, the order to arrest Lin Xu Ru was given by Minister Shen before he went to the royal hunting ground this morning. Minister Shen said that today is the fourth day of the lunar month. If Lin Xu Ru goes to Yangxin Temple and doesn't see the long-browed Taoist, she will definitely be suspicious.“
After hearing this explanation, Wu Zhao was not only relieved but also delighted.
"It turns out that he had already made arrangements. This one is no match for Minister Shen's schemes.“
Wu Zhao muttered to himself.
This time, she truly felt Shen Fei's resourcefulness and his ability to predict the enemy's movements.
While he was still setting up a trap to get rid of him, he had already begun to plan how to expose the truth about the time of the enemy.
At the thought of this, Wu Zhao felt even more guilty.
