Chapter 486 Emperor Zhao Summoned

Professional matters need to be handed over to professionals.

He Jing's mouth is indeed very hard. He is Zhao Jing's man and is loyal to Zhao Jing. It is indeed difficult to get him to speak.

However, Ruyi Tower is not a place where vegetarians are not welcome after all.

As the largest intelligence organization in the world, Ruyi Tower also has the most stringent punishment methods in the world.

How does that saying go? Real intelligence workers often use the simplest methods to obtain intelligence... For example, they capture key figures and torture them.

It must be said that He Jing is indeed a man.

He looks weak and is a scholar. He is known as a great talent in the capital. The weak scholar is still somewhat courageous when facing threats.

However, even if someone can resist, unless he is a dead warrior who has been trained since childhood, or a person with a strong will, he would rather die than surrender.

As for He Jing, he obviously does not have much training experience in this area. Therefore, under the repeated torture and interrogation of Ruyi Tower, he confessed everything in less than half a day.

When Li Beifeng saw He Jing again, he had been tortured beyond recognition.

He looked even more miserable than before.

Under the torture in Ruyi Tower, He Jing was tortured to death.

"Are you willing to talk?"

Li Beifeng glanced down at He Jing on the ground, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

It was his choice and he deserved that he ended up like this.

If Li Beifeng was not the same as before, if he did not have the current power around him, I am afraid that the identities of the two would need to be exchanged now.

He Jing fell to the ground, his body twitching slightly, he struggled hard for a moment, and seemed to want to get up.

After a long time, he finally got up, fell to the ground, raised his head slightly, and stared at Li Beifeng.

At this moment, the resentment in his eyes could not be concealed. But in the end, as if he remembered the inhuman torture just now, his body trembled slightly.

"Kill me!"

"Kill you?"

Li Beifeng glanced at him and sneered: "Do you think I will let you die?"

He Jing was silent.

"Go ahead!"

Li Beifeng looked at him, his tone a little impatient.

He Jing was silent again.

Then he whispered: "She is controlled by His Highness."

"There is a secret passage in the Prince's Mansion, which leads to a secret address... She is under house arrest by the Prince..."

"..."

Outside the yard.

Li Beifeng stepped out of the room and looked ahead with his eyes slightly narrowed.

A female disciple beside him stepped forward and bowed her head and said respectfully: "Mr. Li, how should we deal with this person?"

Li Beifeng pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Keep him, he is still useful."

It is very difficult to save Xie Wan'er.

Zhao Jing has put her under house arrest, and there are many masters taking care of her. It is difficult for Li Beifeng to rescue her alone.

More importantly, he is worried that Zhao Jing may be unfavorable to her.

He Jing may be a key person to rescue Xie Wan'er.

But...

Then we have to see how much weight He Jing has in Zhao Jing's heart.

...

Beijing.

In a big house.

In the courtyard, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, quiet and peaceful.

A figure sat quietly under the eaves, with beautiful eyes looking at the scenery in the courtyard. Her expression was calm, but occasionally a little anxiety flashed in the depths of her eyes.

It flashed by.

After a long time, a sigh sounded.

She lowered her head slightly, as if she remembered some memories in her mind, and there was a little movement in her eyes.

At this moment, the footsteps behind her interrupted her thoughts.

She turned around suddenly and saw a figure behind her.

Her face immediately returned to calm, and a trace of hatred emerged from the depths of her eyes.

She did not hide it at all.

"Are you doing well?"

Zhao Jing walked forward slowly, staring at the woman in front of him.

Xie Wan'er looked calm and said lightly: "What do you think?"

"Ha!"

Zhao Jing's eyes fell on her and sneered: "At this time, are you still talking to me in this tone?"

He didn't like Xie Wan'er and didn't even have a trace of feelings for her.

But, she was his crown princess and his legitimate wife.

However, she betrayed him.

What Zhao Jing hated most was betrayal, especially when it was betrayed by his wife and the person he admired the most.

"So what?"

Xie Wan'er's beautiful eyes fell on him, and a sneer also appeared on her face: "Do you want me to kowtow and kneel in front of you to beg for your forgiveness?"

Her slightly contemptuous eyes angered Zhao Jing, and he stepped forward angrily and raised his hand.

However, Xie Wan'er stood there, without dodging at all, waiting for him to take action.

It was expected.

Halfway through raising his hand, Zhao Jing stopped again.

His eyes turned red, and he stared at her: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Xie Wan'er sneered: "Are you still going to let me go?"

Zhao Jing's eyes narrowed, and he saw the woman in front of him.

She is asking for death? !

Why is she not afraid of death? !

Zhao Jing's voice was a little low, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Why do you treat me like this?!"

"Why, don't you know?"

Zhao Jing looked up and stared at her, and he saw something in her eyes.

At this moment, Zhao Jing suddenly felt weak, and an indescribable panic emerged in his heart.

She, what did she know?

Finally, Zhao Jing fell silent!

He was not sure whether Xie Wan'er already knew some truth.

He can't ask!

Finally, Zhao Jing took a deep breath and realized that he had lost his composure.

After he calmed down, he regained his indifference.

"I won't let you die!"

Zhao Jing looked at her and said coldly: "Not only will Gu let you live, Gu will also let you see with your own eyes how Gu killed him!"

"Anyone who betrays Gu will not end well!"

Zhao Jing's tone was gloomy, giving people an indescribable gloomy feeling.

Xie Wan'er's eyes finally moved a little. She glanced at Zhao Jing, the hatred in her eyes welled up in her heart, and then dissipated quickly.

"You don't believe it?"

Zhao Jing glanced at her: "Don't think that Gu doesn't know what you're thinking. He will definitely come to save you. As long as he dares to come, Gu will never come back."

"When the time comes, I will send you on the road together!"

"..."

Zhao Jing fluttered his sleeves and left, leaving Xie Wan'er standing there, her face becoming slightly ugly.

Will he come to save himself?

That familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared in Xie Wan'er's mind for no apparent reason.

Obviously they are not very familiar with each other, and they obviously don't have feelings for each other. But for some reason, Xie Waner thought of him often for no reason during this period.

Maybe it's because of what happened that night...

Originally, the two people did not have a deep relationship or affection, but after the fish and water merged that night, an indescribable entanglement and evil bond arose.

For Xie Waner, her vindictive and impulsive behavior paid a heavy price.

What's more, she doesn't seem to regret it.

Thinking of this, Xie Waner's heart tightened.

Will he come?

Does he still remember himself and come to save him?

She hoped that he would come, but she also hoped that he would not come.

I hope he comes because I hope I can have some status in his mind.

If he didn't want him to come, Zhao Jing would definitely kill him.

He couldn't stop Zhao Jing's methods.

Xie Wan'er put a hand on her chest, feeling vaguely unspeakably flustered.

…

outside the door.

Zhao Jing strode out of the courtyard.

Outside the door, there were servants guarding it.

"Keep an eye on the person and don't let anyone get close!"

"yes!"

Zhao Jing got into the carriage beside him with a gloomy face.

The carriage slowly left and returned to the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw someone coming into the palace. A chief eunuch stood outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion. When Zhao Jing's carriage approached, he quickly stepped forward respectfully.

"Your Highness!"

"Is something wrong?"

"Your Majesty summons His Majesty!"

Zhao Jing frowned suddenly: "Father, what do you want from me?"

The eunuch bowed his body: "I don't know about this... Your Highness, please enter the palace quickly."

"I see!"

Zhao Jing waved his hand calmly: "Thank you for your hard work."

After the eunuchs in the palace left, Zhao Jing's face suddenly darkened.

A counselor's deep voice came from the side.

"Your Majesty summoned His Majesty at this time. Did His Majesty discover something?"

"Your Highness, we can't go! Our time is not ripe yet. If anything happens to His Majesty, we will miss the mark."

Zhao Jing's face was gloomy and his eyes were cloudy and uncertain.

There was indeed something wrong with his father summoning him at this time.

Did your father discover something?

If my father really discovered something...

Zhao Jing's eyes became even darker, and the consequences were disastrous.

"No matter what, I must go!"

Zhao Jing was summoned by his father, and Zhao Jing had to go see him for any reason.

"You guys go down and get ready!"

Zhao Jing glanced at them and said with a serious face: "In case of any accident, you plan in advance, do you understand?"

"yes!"

"..."

After giving the order, Zhao Jing waved his hand, got into the carriage and left.

In the Prince's Mansion, several counselors gathered together.

These people are all counselors supported by His Highness, and they are also Zhao Jing's right-hand men.

This time, the plan fell on them.

"What do we do now?"

"Notice it down, everyone be prepared!"

An old man touched his beard, and there was a firm look in his eyes: "Once Your Majesty wants to do harm to His Highness, immediately take over the imperial army in the palace and take action in advance!"

"..."

Inside the palace.

The palace seemed particularly quiet and deserted today.

Not even the maids or eunuchs were seen in the palace. Zhao Jing didn't encounter many people along the way.

Then, he came to the door of the imperial study room.

At the door, two eunuchs were guarding the door.

"Your Majesty is taking a rest, please wait a moment!"

Zhao Jing nodded and stood aside quietly waiting.

While waiting, his eyes seemed to glance around inadvertently.

Then, he slowly withdrew his gaze and fell on the two eunuchs and eunuchs in front of him.

"Both of you!"

He spoke.

The two eunuchs quickly bowed: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Do you know why my father came to me this time?"

Zhao Jing decided to start with these two people.

These two people are the closest people to the father, and they probably know something.

The two shook their heads: "Your Majesty didn't say it clearly."

Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes slightly: "How has your father been doing these past two days?"

"Your Majesty is fine!"

"..."

No useful information could be obtained from the two of them.

Zhao Jing lowered his eyes slightly, feeling slightly uneasy.

Why did his father summon him at this time? Did he discover something?

The news of Zhao Ying's assassination has spread throughout the court, and my father must be aware of this.

Father, are you doubting him?

Zhao Jing's heart sank, and his thoughts kept wandering.

Not long after, there was movement in the imperial study room.

Immediately afterwards, a eunuch came out of the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty summons you!"

Zhao Jing paused, straightened his clothes, and stepped into the royal study.

The quiet royal study room.

As soon as he stepped into it, Zhao Jing felt a bit chilly.

An indescribable coolness, with a bit of oppression, made him feel uneasy.

He slowly raised his head and looked forward.

A figure sat quietly behind Zhuo Zi, looking down at the memorial.

Zhao Jing stopped in place, making no movement or making a sound.

The atmosphere of silence continued to permeate the imperial study room.

This made Zhao Jing's hanging heart sink deeper and deeper...

Finally, I don’t know how long it took.

It seemed that the review of the memorial was finally over. Emperor Zhao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, finally put down the memorial and slowly raised his head, his eyes falling on Zhao Jing.

This glance made Zhao Jing's heart skip a beat.

This look frightened him.

Just a glance...

Zhao Jing's original calmness seemed to be broken at this moment.

Those powerful eyes almost looked right through him. In an instant, Zhao Jing broke out in a cold sweat.

"My son, please pay homage to your father!"

There was a hint of trembling in Zhao Jing's tone. He cupped his hands and knelt on the ground.

There was no voice reply.

Zhao Jing did not raise his head either.

But he could still feel the gaze from the dragon chair, which made his back feel numb.

His father had ignored government affairs for so many years that Zhao Jing had even forgotten that he was the emperor of Zhao, the emperor who was so powerful that he slaughtered Northern Qi with a wave of his hand.

The blood on his hands and his control over power are far more powerful than him!

At this moment, Zhao Jing, who was kneeling on the ground, felt like his whole body was being seen through.

The powerful momentum oppressed him, making him unable to breathe.

"Get up!"

Finally, a cold and indifferent voice came.

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief and slowly got up from the ground.

Looking up and looking into his father's eyes, Zhao Jing's heart was shocked again. He tried hard to calm down without showing any trace of timidity or weakness.

Emperor Zhao's eyes wandered over him, and he spoke slowly.

"You already know about Ying'er's assassination, right?"

Zhao Jing lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I know."

"You did it!"

Emperor Zhao spoke coldly.

As soon as these words came out, they were like thunder, exploding in Zhao Jing's ears.

"Father, this is absolutely not the case!"

Zhao Jing showed a bit of 'anxious' look on his face and fell to his knees again with a plop.

"She is my imperial sister. How could I do such a treasonous thing as killing my elder sister? I ask my father to take a closer look!"

Emperor Zhao stared indifferently at Zhao Jing, who was kneeling on the ground and explaining tremblingly, and said coldly: "Who else could it be if it wasn't you?"

Zhao Jing trembled all over and almost fell to the ground: "Father is aware that although I have grievances and frictions with the emperor's sister, I am aware that there must be someone who is responsible for doing such a thing. Father must retaliate." I am innocent..."

What Zhao Jing said was true to his feelings. He cried bitterly and swore his promise.

Emperor Zhao, who was originally indifferent, saw a trace of hesitation and doubt in his eyes when he saw him like this.

Could it be that he didn't do it?
