The Empress's safety is in grave danger, the palace's defenses need to be strengthened, and the Emperor urgently needs a new commander.
Xie Tingzhou, who had just defeated the enemy and then decisively burned and killed 50,000 prisoners, caught the emperor's eye.
Ye Zhen couldn't understand why Xie Tingzhou was so certain that the emperor would choose him if he did this.
Also, why did he want to join the Martial Virtue Division?
Who exactly is he?
At night, Ye Zhen finally met the person.
But before she could speak, Xie Tingzhou said casually, "If you want to live, sister-in-law, it's best not to ask anything. Curiosity is often fatal."
But after Ye Zhen left, Xing Ze couldn't help but ask, "Why was Master so certain that the Emperor would appoint you?"
Xie Tingzhou looked at the nearly completed human skin mask and said calmly, "The Emperor's heart is unpredictable, and this young master is not certain."
"Then you..."
Then why did you go into the palace to kill someone? What a huge risk you took! He and Fuguang were worried sick.
But he knew his master had his reasons, so he didn't dare complain.
Xie Tingzhou's voice suddenly turned icy cold, "Damn them, letting them live these many more years is already too good for them."
Xing Ze then recalled that when he led his men to find his master, his master was covered in wounds, not an inch of skin was intact, not a single bone was in good condition, and countless brothers who had protected his master had died...
The master wanted the position of commander, so he risked entering the palace. If he failed, the master would have gotten his revenge.
He clenched his fists. Those people deserved to die, but it was too dangerous. He would definitely go with them next time.
Fu Guang had never experienced these things with them and could not truly understand. "Master, did you enter the Martial Virtue Division to investigate the identity of the mountain assassins and the matter of Shui Wuhen?"
These are all things that the Martial Arts Division can access.
Xie Tingzhou nodded.
Fu Guang suddenly knelt down, "When you have some free time, Master, could you also investigate the injustice done to my young master?"
What do you mean by that?
Xie Tingzhou stared intently.
"Today, I noticed a hidden compartment in Lady Liu's carriage, which reminded me of the time when the young master was disfigured..."
Meanwhile, inside Xie Jinyao's room.
"So, did you manage to buy it?"
Zhiyun presented a purse and smiled, "I have lived up to your expectations, Miss."
She had been going out these past few days, worried about being followed, and after going to many different places, she finally got what the young lady wanted.
Seeing Xie Jinyao about to open it, she quickly stopped her, "Miss, you mustn't. I've heard that this medicine is extremely potent; even a little bit can make someone lose their mind."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jinyao immediately stopped what she was doing and asked, "How is He Ming doing?"
"I drown my sorrows in alcohol every day."
Zhiyun flattered, "Miss is indeed wise. She knows that the Marquis loves his soldiers like his own children, and he will surely take your advice and hold a matchmaking banquet for them."
“We are father and daughter, how could I not know him at all?”
Xie Jinyao said smugly, "Once He Ming and Ye Zhen take this medicine and do something shameful in public, let's see how Father will protect them then."
She was originally trying to uphold justice, but who knew that He Ming's fiancée had been kidnapped by a thug? She had a mouth but didn't know how to speak up, which made her think that the woman had run away, and she ended up helping the thug.
To ruin her reputation is simply bad luck.
Although her mother had already taken care of the aftermath, He Ming was in her father's army and was said to be quite capable.
She felt uneasy until he was gone; what if he woke up one day and realized something? It would be a hidden danger.
Then let's take advantage of this banquet to get rid of him and Ye Zhen at the same time, killing two birds with one stone...
