When Zhao Ji opened his eyes again, the sun was already hanging in the middle of the sky.

The imperial physician stayed with Zhao Ji for a whole night and a morning.

Seeing Zhao Ji wake up, he immediately came over to take his pulse. Zhao Ji also quietly untied some of the acupoints to create the appearance that he was getting better.

When the imperial physician saw that Zhao Ji had improved a little, he immediately ordered the eunuch on duty to inform the emperor.

"My dear Lord Zhao, you are finally awake!" The voice came before the emperor arrived.

Hearing the intimacy in the emperor's tone, Zhao Ji understood that Yueying had come back to report what had happened.

This is better, as it saves Zhao Ji from having to explain any more.

Zhao Ji pretended to be weak and wanted to stand up to salute the emperor. The emperor immediately reached out and held Zhao Ji back down.

At this time, Zhao Ji heard the emperor's voice.

[We really have this eunuch to thank for this journey, but killing the general directly is too difficult to deal with. ]

[However, those generals were so bold as not to open the gates for support. Could it be that there are some disobedient people among the royal garrison? ]

[Today, it is Zhao Aiqing who is locked out. Will I be locked out in the future? ]

The emperor always thinks about his throne. Zhao Ji quickly figured out the emperor's attitude towards this matter.

He immediately began his performance.

"Your Majesty, I was reckless, but I really couldn't help it. I guess Chief Yue has already reported everything to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ji put on a look of panic but anger.

The emperor stood beside the bed with no change in expression. He just nodded slightly and said, "I know everything. The general did make a mistake in not going out to support us. But you directly cut off his head..."

Zhao Ji had already known from the emperor's inner voice that the emperor would not really blame him.

So I deliberately hit the emperor's pain points.

Zhao Ji lowered his head and said, "I was indeed angry at that time. I followed the emperor's order to bring two people back from Hua'an County. There were many assassins along the way. When we were about to return to the royal city, there were assassins disguised as soldiers outside to stop us..."

Hearing what Zhao Ji said, the emperor's expression suddenly changed. He secretly clenched his fists and asked, "The army?"

"Lord Zhao, you must have evidence for what you say. How do you know that it was an assassin disguised as a soldier?"

The emperor looked at Zhao Ji with sharp eyes.

Zhao Ji lowered his eyes and sighed, "To be honest, when I was fighting with a black-clad assassin, I felt that he was using the boxing skills of the army, so I deliberately lied to him, and the man admitted it in panic... That's why I was injured so badly later. They wanted to silence me!"

Zhao Ji slightly modified the facts. Even Yueying didn't know about this. This was exactly the trump card Zhao Ji left for himself.

The suicides of ordinary underworld or secret forces are definitely not as shocking as the appearance of a force like the army in an assassination team.

The emperor must be worried about his throne.

"If what Zhao Aiqing said is true, then someone might be eyeing my throne instead of these two corrupt officials! How incredible! There are actually traitors in my court who want to usurp the throne!"

The emperor became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He picked up the vase next to him and smashed it to the ground.

Because he wanted to have a secret talk with Zhao Jimi, the emperor did not leave too many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

There was only one imperial physician, who was trembling in the corner. He didn't want to know such an explosive thing.

At this time, the eunuchs were afraid that they would be implicated by the angry emperor.

However, after the emperor had his temper tantrum, he quickly calmed down and pulled off a gold medal from his waist.

"My dear Lord Zhao, from now on I will give you a special gold medal. You can investigate as you please. If you find anything, you can report it to me directly in the palace. As for the matter of you killing the general, I have given you the imperial sword before..."

"That general must have died under the imperial sword!"

When Zhao Ji heard this, he immediately understood that the emperor had chosen to stand on his side.

He took the gold medal handed to him by the emperor, which was quite heavy.

Zhao Ji remembered that the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department had told him about this gold medal before.

Every emperor had three special gold medals. These three special gold medals were extremely powerful and could be used to kill high-ranking officials and save criminals.

Moreover, all officials and common people knew that seeing these three special gold medals anywhere was like seeing the emperor himself.

Moreover, the three special gold medals can mobilize a quarter of the military forces in the capital, which can be said to be equivalent to half a tiger talisman!

Moreover, with this special gold medal, you can walk around the harem with impunity. No matter whether they are eunuchs, palace maids, or guards, they must obey you unconditionally when they see this gold medal.

With such great power, only a handful of people have briefly obtained the special gold medal since the founding of this dynasty.

It was basically given because of the emperor's trust and to investigate difficult and complex cases involving a wide range of people.

Zhao Ji knew very well that the emperor gave him this special gold medal with only one meaning.

Find out the hidden power behind the army that can be mobilized by private individuals.

If this matter cannot be investigated, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to sleep well at night.

It is like hanging a knife on the emperor's neck, ready to fall at any time. How can a real dragon sleep peacefully?

Zhao Ji took the gold medal and kowtowed to thank Long En.

"At the morning court tomorrow, there will definitely be court officials criticizing the generals for this matter. I hope you can get the confession of the corrupt official before then!"

Zhao Ji nodded. Since he had obtained the gold medal, he could naturally make special arrangements.

In addition, Zhao Ji had already figured out a lot of secrets of the two corrupt officials on their way back to the city by eavesdropping on them.

Therefore, Zhao Ji was confident that he could get confessions from these two corrupt officials today.

After the emperor left, Zhao Ji asked the question that concerned him most.

"Is Lady Yue back? Can you take me to find her?"

Zhao Ji had just received the special gold medal and hung it directly around his waist, then walked towards the eunuch to question him.

Which eunuch would have the courage to disobey Zhao Ji's orders?

Zhao Ji didn't expect that Yueying was recuperating in his palace.

"Do you need my help?" Zhao Jimeng rushed in and saw Yueying's clothes half-removed.

He quickly left the room without closing the door, cleared his throat twice, and then asked.

Yueying didn't expect Zhao Ji to suddenly come in. She quickly pulled up her clothes, her face flushed, and said shyly: "No, I'll be there in a minute!"

Zhao Ji waited outside for a while. After Yueying put on her clothes, he went back in.

"How are Tian Zhao and the others? What are the casualties?"

Zhao Ji has never forgotten Tian Zhao and his group.
