Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"I must tear these men in black into pieces!"

Chu Ze returned to the imperial study and began to handle government affairs.

He reviewed memorials and handled state affairs as usual.

He knew that he couldn't panic and he had to stay calm in order to face the next challenge.

However, things were not as simple as he imagined.

The next day, news came from the palace again that the queen had committed suicide in the cold palace.

Chu Ze was shocked when he heard the news.

He knew that the queen's death was definitely not as simple as suicide.

He immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the cause of the queen's death.

At the same time, he began to wonder whether this palace coup was related to the queen.

He remembered what the queen said before she died: "Your Majesty, I am innocent..."

Could it be that the queen was really wronged?
Chu Ze's heart was full of doubts.

He decided to go to the cold palace in person to see if he could find any clues.

He arrived at the cold palace and found it in a mess, obviously after a fight.

He searched every corner carefully, hoping to find some clues.

Suddenly, he found a small wooden box under the queen's bed.

He opened the wooden box and found a letter inside.

Chu Ze unfolded the letter and read it carefully.

The letter was written to him by the Queen, in which she described in detail what had happened.

It turns out that the Queen did not kill Shen Yue, the real murderer was Shen Xue.

Shen Xue was jealous of the Queen, so she plotted to frame her.

The queen wrote in the letter: "Your Majesty, I know that you have always suspected me, and I don't blame you. I just hope that you can find out the truth and clear my name."

After reading the letter, Chu Ze's face turned pale.

He didn't expect that he was actually used by Shen Xue.

He never expected that the queen would choose to commit suicide in order to protect him.

"Shen Xue, you deserve to die!"

Chu Ze said through gritted teeth.

He immediately ordered the arrest of Shen Xue.

However, when the guards arrived at the Shen Mansion, they found that it was already deserted.

Chu Ze knew that Shen Xue must have escaped.

He ordered a nationwide manhunt for Shen Xue.

He knew that he must capture Shen Xue and avenge the Queen.

However, the development of things was beyond his expectation.

While he was trying his best to hunt down Shen Xue, a bigger conspiracy was quietly unfolding...

In an inconspicuous corner of the palace, a man dressed as a eunuch was looking around furtively. After confirming that there was no one around, he quickly took out a letter from his sleeve and stuffed it into the leg of a carrier pigeon. The carrier pigeon flapped its wings, flew into the night sky, and disappeared into the vast night...

Chu Ze stood in front of the window of the imperial study, looking at the dark night sky, feeling a little uneasy. He always felt that something was going to happen...

The night was thick, as dark as ink, and the eaves of the palace outlined a hideous outline in the darkness. Chu Ze stood in front of the window of the imperial study, with his hands behind his back, his eyes as sharp as a knife, flashing coldly. Anger was surging in his heart, like an enraged lion, ready to bite anyone at any time. Shen Xue, this name was like a poisonous snake wrapped around his heart, making him want to skin her alive.

Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps broke the silence of the night. Chu Ze turned around abruptly, his eyes like torches, and shot directly at the person who came.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard requests to see you." A eunuch bowed and reported.

"Send him in." Chu Ze's tone was cold and emotionless. The commander of the Jinyiwei quickly entered the imperial study and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Get up." Chu Ze waved his hand, "Have you found out where Shen Xue is?"

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have not yet found Shen Xue's whereabouts." The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard lowered his head, with a hint of panic in his tone.

"Waste!" Chu Ze shouted angrily and kicked over the table in front of him. The memorials, writing brushes, inkstones, and inkstones on the table were scattered all over the floor, making a crackling sound that was particularly harsh in the silent night.

"I give you three days to find Shen Xue, otherwise, you will be beheaded!"

"I obey your order!" The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was so frightened that he trembled all over. He kowtowed and accepted the order, then crawled out of the imperial study.

Chu Ze's chest was heaving violently, anger burning in his body. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and he wished he could tear Shen Xue into pieces.

Queen, I will definitely avenge you!

Chu Ze paced back and forth in the imperial study, feeling restless. He was filled with doubts. How could a weak woman like Shen Xue escape the pursuit of the Jinyiwei? Moreover, why did she frame the queen? What secrets were hidden behind this?
Suddenly, he remembered a person mentioned in the Queen's letter - Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu was the concubine of the previous emperor and Shen Xue's aunt. It is said that Concubine Liu has always been resentful of the queen because the queen took away her position that originally belonged to her.

Could it be that Concubine Liu was behind the scenes instructing Shen Xue to frame the Queen?
Thinking of this, Chu Ze's heart shuddered. If this was true, then things would become even more complicated.

He immediately summoned the palace maids and eunuchs from the cold palace for interrogation.

After some interrogation, Chu Ze finally got an important clue.

It turned out that Concubine Liu had gone to the cold palace the night before the queen committed suicide.

This further confirmed Chu Ze's guess.

He immediately ordered the arrest of Concubine Liu.

However, when the guards rushed to Concubine Liu's bedroom, they found that Concubine Liu had disappeared.

Chu Ze secretly thought that something was wrong. He knew that Concubine Liu must have received the news in advance and escaped.

He once again issued an order to search the whole country for Liu Fei and Shen Xue.

He knew that he had to catch them as soon as possible to uncover the truth behind the Queen's death.

However, just as he was trying his best to hunt down Concubine Liu and Shen Xue, another major event happened in the palace.

His favorite concubine, Yang Guifei, was pregnant.

This news made Chu Ze feel a little better.

He had always wanted a son to inherit his throne.

Now that Yang Guifei was pregnant, he could finally get what he wanted.

He immediately ordered a generous reward for Yang Guifei and sent people to protect her strictly.

He even ordered that Yang Guifei be promoted to Imperial Noble Consort.

However, just as he was immersed in joy, a bigger conspiracy was quietly unfolding...

Late at night, a dark shadow sneaked into Yang Guifei's bedroom.

The black shadow walked to Yang Guifei's bed, holding a sharp dagger in his hand.

He raised the dagger and was about to stab Yang Guifei...

Suddenly, Yang Guifei opened her eyes abruptly and grabbed the black shadow's wrist.

"Who are you?" Yang Guifei asked sternly.

The black shadow did not speak, but struggled hard, trying to break free from Yang Guifei's control.

However, Yang Guifei's grip was surprisingly strong, and the shadow couldn't break free at all.

"Tell me, who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" Yang Guifei asked again.

The black shadow still didn't speak, but just struggled desperately. (End of this chapter)
