A series of news made Wu Jie's mood disordered, and she could hardly control herself.

She finally understood why she lived a new life, tried her best to avoid the assassins from South Chen, even told Yuan Zhe the route of South Chen's real envoy going north, and killed them all. Why Gao Zimo could not escape the assassin's attack in the end.

Because the assassin is not from South Chen at all! It's Yuan Zhe's handwriting!

Also, I met Yuan Zhe and Gao Hongyuan twice at the White Deer Temple. I thought I was just going to enjoy the scenic spots and historical sites, but I didn't expect that I went for Master Guangxin.

She is so stupid! It was the first time for Mingming to visit Master Guangxin, and just when he saw a group of guests before him had just left, it was ridiculous that he didn't think much about it at the time.

Wu Jie's body trembled, uncontrollable anger and hatred welled up one after another.

And why Master Guangxin left suddenly, hurried down the mountain and said that he wanted to travel around the world. It is from the performance of these two groups of people that the power struggle in the Northern Wei Dynasty was fierce. Go away, far away to avoid disaster.

"He is not benevolent and I am not righteous."

"The world of the Great Wei was originally protected by the blood of our Lingbei Gao family and countless Northwest children. It is unreasonable to take it back now. Although I feel guilty, but I know the assassins back then. Rest assured. What he has done is not worthy of a benevolent monarch."

Gao Zimo gritted his teeth and said, looking up, he couldn't help being startled.

At this moment, Miss Zifen's complexion was even uglier and distorted than that of the victim.

Wu Jie wanted to laugh, but also wanted to cry bitterly, the surging emotions almost swallowed her.

In other words, in the previous life...the death of Gao Zimo in the previous life was a masterpiece of the Northern Wei court at the beginning, and then blamed it on South Chen, and they added the blame for their lack of protection.

After hearing of Gao Zimo's death, Gao Tanyu's injury relapsed and he drove west quickly.

The emperor Yuan Jing was innocent, and later, as a benefactor, he took the troops and generals left by the Gao clan under his banner.

What a peerless gentleman, what a hypocrite!

Wu Jie clasped her fingers on the table, almost breaking her nails. She has never hated and loathed Yuan Jing so much as now.

Even though there was hatred in the previous life, the wars between countries over the years have always been brutal killings. She has worked hard in this life, only to change that tragedy.

Now the cruel reality told her that the instigator of all the tragedies was that person, the person who pretended to pity her and love her.

"Girl Zifen!" Her expression was too distorted, like a martial artist going mad, Gao Zimo couldn't help but panic.

At this moment, there was a burst of noise from far to near, and the sound of uniform footsteps was mixed with the crisp sound of swords and soldiers colliding.

A large number of guards are approaching!

Wu Jie finally came to her senses. She stood up and said to Gao Zimo, "Someone found this area, hurry up and follow me."

...

This night, the maid on duty is doomed to be unsafe. Awakened by the guards who came to search, she had no choice but to come to the door of the bedroom again, "Your Majesty..."

After waiting for a while, the lazy voice of the imperial concubine came from inside: "What's wrong?"

The maid hurriedly reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is a team of imperial guards coming, saying they are looking for assassins."

After waiting for a while, the door opened with a "squeak".

Wu Jie walked out of the bedroom wearing a long plain dress. At a glance, he saw dozens of guards standing outside the hall, and the leader was Yin Changqing.

Looking at him, Wu Jie couldn't help being ironic.

What kind of person Yuan Jing is, you can get a glimpse of it just from this person.

The dignified general of the Gao clan, one of Gao Tanyu's confidantes, turned out to be Yuan Jing's hidden stake. Although he is young, his control over the court is almost pervasive. Even in his own harem, he put in hidden guards like Concubine Lijin. He has always been a tough and rational person, and he has the means and patience far beyond anyone else to accomplish his goals.

Because playing with cats in the back house with him every day, talking homely, and the atmosphere is so harmonious, did she even forget the real face of this person?

Yin Changqing watched Wu Jie come out, and quickly lowered his gaze.

On a summer night, Wu Jie dressed very coolly. The translucent white gauze was embroidered with gold thread patterns, exuding a hazy and graceful beauty. The silver-blue outer skirt was casually draped over her shoulders, opening and closing with the breeze. non-stop. Under the bright moonlight, the skin of the whole person glows like beautiful jade.

Yin Changqing didn't want to look more, so he went straight to salute and said: "The minister and others are ordered to track down the assassin, which disturbed the empress."

Wu Jie showed surprise, "Assassin? Why did such a dangerous person sneak into the palace, is the emperor safe?"

He bowed and saluted, "The assassins sneaked into the palace, it was the ministers who neglected their duties. The emperor was safe and sound, and most of the assassins conferred the head, but a few escaped. The ministers were ordered to search the nearby palaces to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

Wu Jie showed displeasure: "Why, does General Yin want to search my bedroom today? This matter is not in line with etiquette, and I will definitely not agree to it."

Yin Changqing calmly said: "The assassin is dangerous, and the careful search is also for the safety of the empress."

Wu Jie frowned, but still refused: "I have been in the hall before, and I didn't hear any sound."

Yin Changqing smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know martial arts, so I don't know that some assassins have extraordinary martial arts, they are elusive, even if they hide indoors, sometimes they are completely unaware."

"It sounds scary." Wu Jie said unhurriedly. "I don't know how many assassins sneaked into the palace this time. Could it be more serious than last year's Lantern Festival?"

"The number is very small, but there are more dangers."

"Now that the Yelan Kingdom has been conquered by the emperor's own driver, it has been wiped out in one fell swoop. I don't know what the origin of this assassin is?"

Yin Changqing paused, "This minister is also wondering. After he needs to be captured, he will be handed over to the Criminal Department for careful interrogation."

"Could it be the remnants of the previous Gao family? Intended to assassinate the holy car?" Wu Jie guessed.

Yin Changqing lowered his eyes and did not answer.

Wu Jie raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked deliberately: "Speaking of which, I heard that General Yin was also a member of the Gao family before."

Yin Changqing used to be a scout on the northwest frontline. He was born as a commoner and had extraordinary talent since he was a child. He made several outstanding achievements shortly after joining the army. Once he was defeated at the border and he led a dozen soldiers to live behind the enemy. The army strangled, but instead sneaked into the enemy camp and burned most of the opponent's food, grass, army and horses. Because of his achievements this time, he was promoted to the sixth-rank captain by leapfrogging, and he also entered the vision of Gao Tanyu, who has always loved talents. The Northwest General greatly appreciated this rookie in the army and adopted him as his adopted son.

Backed by this mountain, Yin Changqing's official career became smoother, and he was promoted to the position of commander of Donglin Wei at a young age.

From this perspective, Gao Tanyu was kind to him, but he didn't know when he switched to Yuan Jing.

Yin Changqing looked up at Wu Jie.

Why did he betray Gao?

Since the fall of the Gao Clan, this question should have been on the minds of many courtiers, but no one has dared to ask it directly. Some people think that they belong to the old school who are loyal to the king. Some people also think that Yuan Jing must have bought people's hearts with high-ranking officials and rich salary during the two years he was transferred to Capital City.

Yin Changqing smiled formulaically, "The general's support and support are naturally unforgettable, but state affairs are the most important thing, and the noble concubine please speak carefully. Although the general has some indecency, he is loyal. He is loyal to the imperial court."

Wu Jie shrugged, "The general is indeed loyal."

The maids and guards beside the two listened to their conversation in astonishment. Why did the topic get more and more crooked, and it went as far as three thousand miles away.

After breaking up for a while, Yin Changqing glanced over, and two black shadows flashed through the back window of the bedroom.

He lowered his eyes and said in a respectful voice: "I disturbed the empress today, it's because of my impoliteness. Just follow the empress's wishes and receive the emperor's order tomorrow. I will go in and search later."

Wu Jie nodded: "General Yin is indeed a sensible person."

After leaving the area of ​​the Water Palace, Yin Changqing slowed down. Two guards came to him and reported in a low voice: "The subordinates have searched in detail before, and there is indeed no one inside."

Yin Changqing frowned, "Why is there no one?"

Before, he deliberately broke up with Wu Jie in front of the door, just to delay the time and let his subordinates sneak in to search secretly. didn't expect to get nothing. Gao Zimo didn't know many people in this summer palace, and even fewer people he could trust. Most of Gao's subordinates surrendered to Yuan Jing in the appeasement of these days. Only this newly promoted imperial concubine is the most suspicious.

"My subordinates have checked the beams under the bed and the surrounding underwater corners to confirm that no one is hiding." The two affirmed.

Where can go? A trace of bitterness appeared on Yin Changqing's face.

Wu Jieping dismissed the maid, turned around and entered the room.

She closed the door, heard the sound outside completely subsided, she pressed her chest, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning to look around, he said in a gentle voice, "Fortunately, they didn't pay close attention to you."

Standing beside her was a slender maid, with a double bun, and her bangs covered her eyebrows and eyes long. At this moment, he raised his head and said in a low voice: "Thanks to Miss Zihui for your ingenious plan."

It was Gao Zimo who disguised himself as a maid. He was originally born handsome, and coupled with his young age, he looked quite cute in the costume of a little palace maid.

Just now when heard that Yin Changqing brought people to search, Wu Jie knew that with his seriousness and prudence, he would never let it go without a detailed search.

Although there are many places to hide in his hall, they may not be able to escape the detection of his subordinates. Simply making a dangerous move, Gao Zimo changed into the clothes of a little maid, and then stood under the shadow beside the palace gate. The placement is so clever that most people won't notice it.

Wu Jie deliberately broke up with Yin Changqing outside the hall to create opportunities for his people to sneak into the hall to search.

Those people searched all over the hall, and several of them glanced at the maid who was following Wu Jie at the entrance of the hall, but they didn't become suspicious.

As for Yin Changqing, because Wu Jie was dressed coolly, it was inconvenient to raise her head to look more. Although she noticed the little maid standing in the shadow of the palace gate, she thought it was Wu Jie's night-duty maid in Wu Jie's room, and didn't think much about it.

Gao Zimo looked at his own image in the mirror, his cheeks turned red, and he hurriedly took off his outer skirt. Time was in a hurry just now, and he was still wearing the sleek black leather jacket underneath.

Wu Jie stepped forward to help him loosen his hair and asked, "Where are you going next?"

Gao Zimo cast his eyes out of the window, "I want to return to the northwest and take revenge."

Wu Jie frowned, "How do you take revenge?"

In the past few months, because of Yuan Jing's gentle tactics, most of the generals under the Gao family surrendered. Military power in the northwest was the focus of Yuan Jing's planning, and he arranged for a highly respected veteran to go to the northwest to succeed Gao Tanyu's position, and dispatched several guards from key cities.

Gao Zimo smiled: "Our Gao family has been operating in the Northwest for more than 50 years, and what we have left is the strength on the table."

Wu Jie trembled slightly, and suddenly realized one thing, Gao Zimo already hated Yuan Jing so much, if he returned to the northwest, he was afraid that he would start a war in the future.

The heart filled with hatred and resentment suddenly calmed down, and an unknown fear arose spontaneously.

Gao Zimo didn't notice her subtle emotional changes, and continued: "Miss Zihui, please help me once, now in this palace, the only one I can trust is you."

Under his sincere gaze, Wu Jie lowered her head: "You have returned to the northwest, what should you do?"

"I have to take one step at a time. If I don't go back as soon as possible, I'm afraid I won't even be able to preserve the remaining forces." Gao Zimo smiled wryly.

Wu Jie hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you get out of here." Now that things have happened, she has no choice.

Gao Zimo's tense spirit completely relaxed, and he said gratefully: "If there is a day when I return in the future, I will definitely live up to the girl's deep kindness."

Wu Jiezi couldn't help but said: "Actually, life is so long, and it's not only hatred. You are still young now, and you will have a great life in the future. After all, the most important thing is to protect yourself. I think your relatives know the same way."

Gao Zimo's brows were full of depression, but he still nodded solemnly and said, "I've made a note."
