If your Majesty wants to know the inside story, why not ask Zhao Chen directly. Queen Changsun said.

She was also very curious.

But the matter has passed, it's good that Zhao Chen is fine, and Empress Changsun doesn't care much about the truth of the matter at this moment.

The emperor shook his head.

Even if he asked about such a secret matter, Zhao Chen might not tell him.

Moreover, now, I have more important things to do.

I am going to Dali Temple to see the outcome of the interrogation. The emperor stood up, left a word with Empress Changsun, and then turned and left.

Dali Temple Tianlao.

Even after being imprisoned, Hou Junji showed no sign of desolation.

He was wearing prison uniform, but even his hair was neatly styled.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were sitting in the interrogation room. Apart from Hou Junji, there was no other person in front of them.

There were no guards guarding the interrogation room.

Hou Junji, please tell me the truth, I don't want anyone to torture you.

We are all acquaintances, so the scene is not good-looking. Wei Zheng locked his eyes on Hou Junji's face and said in a deep voice.

Hou Junji has been fighting against him and Zhao Chen.

Wei Zheng had a grudge against him in his heart.

But Old Wei was an upright and stubborn old man, so he would not have any personal grudge against Hou Junji during the interrogation.

Wei Xuancheng, how did Zhao Chen let those bastards from the Ministry of War work for him?

Those bastards value their official positions more than anything else.

They are actually willing to give up everything and help Zhao Chen testify against me? Hou Junji looked at Wei Zheng with unwillingness in his eyes.

If it weren't for the last pieces of evidence, how could he be in jail?

I don't know! Wei Zheng replied.

He really didn't know.

When he left Tai Chi Hall with Zhao Chen that day, he was in a daze the whole way.

Why don't you remember to ask Zhao Chen about these things?

After he returned to his residence and regained his senses, the emperor's imperial edict put him in charge of interrogating Hou Junji.

Even Wei Zheng himself was full of doubts, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

You don't know? Hou Junji had a strange look on his face.

Wei Xuancheng, of all the ministers in the court, you are the one I envy the most.

Tell me, you used to be a member of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng, and you helped Li Jiancheng deal with His Majesty.

Li Jiancheng is dead. Not only are you not dead, you are also accepted by the emperor and are favored by him.

Every time you beat the emperor to death in the court, your officialdom is getting bigger and bigger.

After Zhao Chen appeared, you were the first to have a relationship with him.

Changsun Wuji worked so hard to help Li Chengqian secure his position as prince, but it disappeared overnight.

Everyone thought that Li Chengqian sought his own death, and that's why the emperor gradually developed a bad taste for him.

Actually, it's because of Zhao Chen's identity.

Wei Xuancheng, am I right?

You already knew Zhao Chen's identity!

Hou Junji was speaking slowly, but his voice suddenly became sharp, and the chains on his hands and feet also clanked.

Fang Xuanling sat aside and looked at Hou Junji, who looked crazy in front of him, and knew what Hou Junji meant by what he just said.

Wei Zheng already knew Zhao Chen’s identity?

What is Zhao Chen's identity?

There were rumors about Zhao Chen's identity in Jinyang?

After Zhao Chen appeared, the emperor's attitude towards the prince Li Chengqian became increasingly perfunctory, which was seen by everyone in the court.

Everyone thought that it was Li Chengqian who acted unruly and annoyed the emperor, which was why he got this result.

Now it seems……

Wei Zheng didn't say anything. He didn't know whether Hou Junji knew Zhao Chen's identity.

But at this moment, he couldn't admit it, otherwise once the news got out, there would be more trouble.

Prime Minister, you probably don't know yet, Zhao Chen, he is the emperor's son.

He is the eldest son of the Tang royal family.

Do you think that a dignified emperor or empress would really protect an ordinary person like that?

Hou Junji! Wei Zheng shouted, his face cold and stern.

Prime Minister, the rumors coming from Jinyang are not rumors at all.

Back then, it was Li Chengqian and Zhao Chen who exchanged identities due to a strange combination of circumstances.

Otherwise, why do you think Zhao Chen was born with an angry illness? ??

Hahaha—— Hou Junji's proud laughter came from the interrogation room.

Hou Junji knew that after entering the prison, the possibility of getting out was very slim.

Simply expose this matter.

Perhaps, it can also be an opportunity to survive.

Although Fang Xuanling had long suspected Zhao Chen's identity.

But now that Hou Junji has revealed it to his face, I still find it hard to believe it.

Xuancheng, what he said... Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng said nothing and frowned.

Now is not a good time to reveal Zhao Chen's identity.

Zhao Chencai killed court officials in Lingyan Pavilion and was accused of treason and collaboration with the enemy.

Although the evidence was forged, many people really hoped that something would happen to Zhao Chen.

Moreover, the current crown prince Li Tai is already eyeing Zhao Chen with covetous eyes.

Revealing his identity at this moment will undoubtedly force the two brothers to kill each other.

Hou Junji, what do you want to do with these words? Wei Zheng looked at Hou Junji and asked in a deep voice.

What are you doing? Leave from here.

Leave? Hou Junji, you are dreaming. If you don't explain everything about you and Yuan Gaisuwen clearly, do you still want to leave from here? Wei Zheng said coldly.

In that case, I will wait for Zhao Chen to come over. I believe that he will come back to visit me tomorrow at the latest.

At that time, I will definitely have a good chat with him about his life experience. Hou Junji said slowly.

Wei Zheng's expression changed slightly.

He understood that Zhao Chen would never let Hou Junji off easily.

When there is time, Zhao Chen will come to Tianlao to clean up Hou Junji as soon as possible.

If at that time, Hou Junji and Zhao Chen reveal his identity...

For a moment, Wei Zheng was at his wits' end.

Hou Junji, you must know that you are treason, and His Majesty will never let you...

Wei Zheng, you must know that once Li Tai learns about Zhao Chen's identity, what happened with the Xuanwu Sect will definitely happen again.

When the time comes, take off my eyes and hang one in the Zhao Mansion and the other in the East Palace.

I also want to see who can win in the end! Hou Junji said with a ferocious look on his face.

This is his last chance.

If Zhao Chen didn't leave before Zhao Chen came to Tianlao, he, Hou Junji, would stay here forever.

This time, Zhao Chen will never let him go.

You! Wei Zheng's expression changed drastically.

Hou Junji actually had such a plan.

Letting what happened at the Xuanwu Sect happen again is a serious stab at the emperor's scars.

If the emperor hears it, then...

Wei Zheng, let him go! The door of the interrogation room opened, and Lao Litou walked in expressionlessly and said slowly.

Your Majesty! Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were both stunned, and then saluted Old Li Tou.

Hou Junji, I think you have made great contributions, so I will spare your life this time.

Escape for your own life! The emperor waved his hand and glanced at Hou Junji.

Your Majesty! Wei Zheng shouted.

Here's the key.

Clang-

A bunch of keys were thrown at Hou Junji's feet.
