After Helan Minzhi left the Xianju Palace, Chen Yi was also summoned by Wu Zetian to the palace for questioning.

"Zi Ying, this is the report of Li Xian's death case that the Minister of Justice urgently sent by Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. You can take a look first, then tell me what you think about this matter!" Wu Zetian handed over the urgent report presented by Di Renjie to Chen Yi. After Chen Yi reached out to take it, he said, "In fact, it's the same whether you look at it or not. I guess Di Renjie has told you about this situation, right?"

Chen Yi took the report from Di Renjie presented by Wu Zetian, looked carefully, and replied: "Empress, I just heard the news that Shangshu Di sent someone back, and I don't know the details!"

Don't hide such a thing from Wu Zetian. Di Renjie will definitely tell him that this is an open secret. If you deny anything in front of Wu Zetian, it will feel like there is no silver here.

Because I knew the general situation, Chen Yi had already clearly understood the contents of Di Renjie's urgent newspaper. After reading it back and forth several times, he looked at the details he wrote, then put down the urgent newspaper and looked at Wu Zetian and said, "Empress Dowager, I think that Di Shangshu found some abnormalities when he investigated the case in Fangzhou, but there was no definite evidence to prove anything. Therefore, he could only think that Luling King died of an emergency! If there is no direct or indirect evidence to prove anything in any case, he cannot make a conclusion, and he cannot doubt anyone for no reason. Therefore, this report by Di Shangshu can only be written in this way, and there is no more meaning to see!"

Chen Yi said this, Wu Zetian had already expected it, and there was no strange expression. He just looked at Chen Yi with his glittering eyes and said, "Zi Ying, according to your speculation, if you were a bystander, who would you think it would be? Who would attack King Luling? Who would most want to get rid of him? Don't worry about anything. Tell me who thinks it is, and I will not blame you!"

"Empress, if you really say this, who doesn't want King Luling to live in the world the most, then the first guess is you, Empress!"

"What?!" Chen Yi's answer shocked Wu Zetian and looked at Chen Yi in disbelief. "Do you still think I took action to remove Xian'er? Don't you doubt others?"

"No!" Chen Yi shook his head. "I just said, if I ask me to say who wants to get rid of Luling King, the first person I think of is you, Empress, but I didn't say that it was you. Now I am safe and confident. This matter has nothing to do with Empress, and Empress does not know anything at all, just like me!"

Chen Yi's words made Wu Zetian less shocked and angry, but he was very dissatisfied with Chen Yi's last words, and asked angrily: "Chen Yi, why do you say this to me? Xian'er was the only surviving son of my palace before. If I don't tolerate him, I will never be able to remove him..." However, when I thought about his methods of dealing with Li Hong and Li Xian's two biological sons, Wu Zetian couldn't continue.

Chen Yi also knew what Wu Zetian thought of, so he didn't answer this, saying that he did not comment on Wu Zetian's previous behavior with silence.

Wu Zetian took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and asked Chen Yi again: "Chen Yi, I ask you again, since you think the one you want to remove Xian'er the most is, who will be the second one who wants to remove Xian'er the most? Is it Minzhi, or you? Or someone else?"

"None are!" In Wu Zetian's slightly surprised, Chen Yi said slowly: "Empress, if you consider it from the perspective of an onlooker, the second person who wants to get rid of Luling King should be the current little emperor! As long as the King of Luling is for one day, his throne will not be very stable, so he should be the second person who wants to get rid of Luling King! But he is too young and has no ability to think about these things at all, so he can be ignored!"

"But the counselors around him can!" Wu Zetian's eyes flashed with a strange light and stared at Chen Yi: "As far as I know, the people who sincerely support Li Chongrun as the emperor are those headed by you. Can that be said that because you are afraid that Xian'er will threaten Li Chongrun's throne, they will kill Xian'er?"

Chen Yi was a little surprised by Wu Zetian's reaction so quickly, but he still shook his head firmly and said negatively: "Empress, although what you said makes sense, your reasoning is wrong!"

"I am not the one who firmly supports the little emperor. Now in the court, those who firmly support the little emperor are those who are not only ministers, but also uncle Minzhi! Of course, I can also be said to be one of the supporters. But this cannot be said that so many people who support the little emperor ascended the throne do not want King Luling to die! When King Luling was the emperor, he did so many incredible things and even wanted to give the world to the people of the Wei family. He did not listen to the advice of the ministers, which made all the ministers feel disappointed. The Empress Dowager angrily denounced him as absurd and deposed his throne. All the ministers applauded. It can be said that even if King Luling has been alive, it is impossible to threaten the position of the little emperor! I will not think so!"

Wu Zetian heard something from Chen Yi's words, and still turned the finger back to him, implying that she was most likely to take action to get rid of Li Xian because she wanted to be the emperor. If she wanted to be the emperor and control or destroy the little emperor, the ministers could also carry Li Xian out and fight against her. But if Li Xian died, she would not be able to carry out powerful figures to fight against her who wanted to be emperor!

Because she was afraid that Chen Yi would turn things around to her again and would be reluctant to make things easier, she had to explain, so she did not say anything according to Chen Yi's words, but went back to the words just now, and asked again: "It makes sense for you to say this. The ministers who support the little emperor can basically rule out the possibility of committing crimes. Then I ask you again, will the possibility of Minzhi's master plotting this matter be greater than that of others?"

Wu Zetian deliberately bit others a little heavier.

Chen Yi heard the meaning of this statement from Wu Zetian's words and voice. After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded and did not deny it.

"Empress, yes, I think it is very likely that my uncle Minzhi will do this, but the report presented by Shangshu Di did not find any evidence that it was caused by the uncle Minzhi's dispatched people. Even King Luling could not find out the direct evidence of being killed by others. I dare not infer this way!" Chen Yi said, looking at Wu Zetian with a complicated expression, and then said softly: "Empress Dowager, I think that this may be because King Luling died of serious illness! Even if I disagree with this determination, I cannot find out the incident clearly!"

Wu Zetian didn't answer Chen Yi's words, but just sighed quietly and continued to ask Chen Yi: "Ziying, if you think it's Minzhi's move, why do you think he wants to attack?"

Chen Yi did not speak ill of the other party directly in front of her like Helan Minzhi, which made Wu Zetian feel much better.

To be honest, a while ago, Helan Minzhi kept saying that Chen Yi was not right in front of her, and blamed all Li Xian's death on Chen Yi, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She even felt that Helan Minzhi was deliberately framed and wanted to use this matter to charge Chen Yian.

Chen Yi did not directly say that all this must have been done by Helan Minzhi. Even if he pressed the suspicion on her head, he did not fall on Helan Minzhi's head. It seems that the belly sizes of these two people are really much different.

If Helan Minzhi hadn't been her nephew and had to do things for her, she would have taken her anger on others because of these statements!

The change in attitude towards Chen Yi was directly reflected in the name she was talking. She called Chen Yi directly, which showed that she was angry with Chen Yi. If she called him "Ziying", it would definitely feel better.

Of course, Chen Yi felt the change in her emotions from Wu Zetian's name to him, and also felt the change in her attitude towards him. Therefore, he also boldly answered Wu Zetian's question: "Empress, this is actually very simple!"

"You have been planning to become emperor and ascend the throne for a while. If your minister guesses well, Uncle Min should care more about this matter, because he is the only descendant of the Wu family. If you become the emperor and are ready to pass the throne to the Wu family, Uncle Min will be the first heir to the throne. As long as he thinks so, he will not want the Empress Dowager Luling, your biological son, to live in the world!"

I couldn't say too much. Just these few words, Chen Yi stopped talking and ignored the change in Wu Zetian's expression.

Chen Yi's words shocked Wu Zetian. She had thought about this, but she didn't dare to make sure.

But now that Chen Yi said this, it is impossible for her to take it seriously.

Of course, these words make sense. It can be said that if Helan Minzhi really did this, what Chen Yi said would definitely be a foregone conclusion. If it was found out that Helan Minzhi really did it, he could explain that all this was done for her to ascend the throne smoothly, so she would not punish him.

When Wu Zetian thought of this, she felt extremely sad.

Her mentality is completely incomparable to her a few years ago. As she grows older, the weight of family affection is getting heavier in her mind. She no longer ignores family affection for power. I don’t know why. She is a little disgusted with killing by any means. In the past or two years, she often blames herself for her viciousness back then. If Helan Minzhi really did it for her ascend the throne, and for him to have the opportunity to be made the emperor after she ascends the throne and kill Li Xian, she would feel very guilty.

Although she did not instruct Helan Minzhi to do this, it can also be said that she instigated him to do this. Some time ago, didn’t she authorize Helan Minzhi to do anything? She a little hated Helan Minzhi for doing this!

But she couldn't figure out why her mind had changed so much in the past few years!

Seeing that Wu Zetian was in deep thought, her expression was constantly changing. Chen Yi didn't say anything, but just stood quietly, waiting for Wu Zetian's emotions to calm down. Only when these words just came to Wu Zetian's heart, would she have a change in emotions.

However, just as Chen Yi was thinking about Wu Zetian's thoughts, Wu Zetian stopped his mind and asked him again: "Zi Ying, I ask you, what do you think if I decide to hand over the Intelligence Institute to Minzhi's responsibility?"

"Empress, that's absolutely not possible!"

"Why?"

"If this is the case, the world will be in chaos! Uncle Minzhi..."

"Well, I know!" Wu Zetian interrupted him without letting Chen Yi say the reason clearly, and waved his hand a little annoyedly, saying, "Zi Ying, you go first. I am tired and want to rest!"

"Yes, Empress, that's the one who's leaving!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
