Chapter 16 The frightened Iron Lord God

The next day.

Hulong Villa.

"Your Majesty has given me something, please give it to the Marquis of God." A spy knelt on the ground with a fearful expression and said cautiously.

"Given by His Majesty?!"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed and he was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

It can be said that he and his good nephew have met very rarely since he ascended the throne.

Wasn't his good nephew deceived by Wu Zhao?How could he suddenly think of himself?

"Is there something fishy behind this?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Wuli raised his eyebrows, then looked at the spy below with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Is the person here confirmed to be from the palace?"

"That man is indeed wearing palace clothes." The spy replied tremblingly.

"Is that so?"

Zhu Wuwu nodded slightly, his eyes lowered, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "In that case, it's up to you to open this box."

The situation in the palace is extremely unclear now. Maybe this box contains a mechanism to assassinate him.

He must be careful and cautious.

"what?!"

Hearing Zhu Wuli's words, the spy couldn't help but be startled, and his face suddenly turned bitter.

obviously.

This is why he came to die!

No matter how much he didn't want to, what could he do under Zhu Wuli's cold and stern gaze?
Under Zhu Wuli's pressure, the spy carefully opened the box, but no hidden arrow flew out as expected.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief and felt a little lucky.

But when he opened his eyes to look at the contents of the box, his originally relaxed heartstrings suddenly became tense again.

"what!!!"

The spy's face suddenly turned pale, he let out a cry of surprise, and accidentally dropped the box in his hand.

I saw a bloody human head rolling down, with blood everywhere.

"Ok?"

When Zhu Wuwu saw the spy in such a panic, he frowned and wanted to scold him.

But when he saw the human head falling in the box, his pupils shrank suddenly, full of horror.

"how can that be?!"

Zhu Wulan looked at the bloody head in disbelief.

Because the head in the box turned out to be Cao Zhengchun's.

This immediately made Zhu Wuwu's face turn pale, and he was shocked and angry.

Who is behind all this, and why did Cao Zhengchun's head be given to him?

"Is it Wu Meiniang?"

His eyes were as cold as frost, and the first thing that came to his mind was Wu Meiniang.

Within the Ming Dynasty, only Wu Meiniang, who relied on the Ming Dynasty, had such ability and courage.

Only Wu Meiniang could persuade Zhu Houzhao to do such a thing.

"What else did your Majesty say?"

Zhu ignored his face and asked coldly with a straight face.

"The people from the palace also asked Shenhou to let you enter the palace." The man came back to his senses and said quickly.

"What? Summon me into the palace?"

This news made Zhu Wuwu frown even more tightly, and the gloomy look between his eyebrows became more solemn.

Why did Wu Meiniang suddenly summon her to the palace?

Could it be that he set up an ambush in the palace to annihilate himself in one fell swoop and take control of the entire Hulong Villa.

As long as he dies, the Hulong Villa can be said to be in name only.

After all, all the spies in Hulong Villa were trained and raised by him since childhood, and they will always be loyal to him.This thought immediately caused Zhu to ignore a chill, and his forehead was even more cold.

Now comes the problem.

Knowing that there is a trap in the palace, do you enter the palace yourself or not?
Entering the palace must be extremely dangerous. If you don't enter the palace, it is tantamount to resisting the decree.

And in that case, it would also give Wu Meiniang and Hu Meier an excuse to eradicate themselves.

Now he can be said to be in a dilemma.

Is it possible that he really wants to enter the palace?

Zhu Wuwu's brows were furrowed, and he was so entangled in his heart that he couldn't make a decision for a while.
On the one hand, it is his own life, and on the other hand, it is the Hulong Villa that he has worked so hard for so many years, and the reputation of the 'Iron God Marquis'.

No matter which aspect, it is an existence that he cannot let go of.

If the messenger in the palace is still there.

He could still say a few words and decline.

But now.

But it is not so easy to refuse.

If Wu Meiniang was really behind all this, then he probably wouldn't be able to refuse.

No matter what kind of result it is, it is extremely difficult for him to accept.

This also made Zhu Wuwu's heart become more and more depressed, and his face became even more gloomy, as if he could drip water.

And at this time.

"Father, Haitang would like to ask to see his adoptive father." Shangguan Haitang's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Haitang?"

Hearing Shangguan Haitang's voice, Zhu Wuwu's brows tightened even more.

He glared at the spy and yelled impatiently: "That's enough, stand down!"

Then Shangguan Haitang, dressed in white, walked in quickly, looking a little panicked.

"The child pays homage to the adoptive father."

When she saw Cao Zhengchun's head, although she was startled, her expression quickly recovered.

"Haitang, didn't your adoptive father ask you to investigate the situation in the palace? Why are you here?"

Zhu Wuyi clasped his hands behind his back, turned his back to Shangguan Haitang, and said in a somewhat impatient tone.

This series of changes has made him unable to remain calm, and he is in a very gloomy mood.

"Father, the child has something important to report."

Shangguan Haitang also heard Zhu Wuwang's impatience and said straight to the point: "My child discovered that Zhuge Zheng from the six gates was entering the palace."

"Six gates, Zhuge corrects me?"

Zhu Wuli was stunned when he heard this, then turned around excitedly, stared at Shangguan Haitang and asked, "What? Have you seen him enter the palace? What was the result?"

"The result? Then Zhuge Zheng and I left the palace unharmed."

Shangguan Haitang recalled what he saw and heard in the palace, paused and said, "Father, the person behind Wu Meiniang may not be the Tang Dynasty, but His Majesty.

This time summoning the adoptive father to the palace was probably His Majesty's intention. "

"Ok?"

When Zhu Rongli heard the news, he looked at Shangguan Haitang in shock and anger.

Shangguan Haitang then told Zhu Wuwu exactly what he saw and heard in the palace.

"According to you, His Majesty is behind all this, not Wu Meiniang? Your Majesty was not bewitched by Wu Meiniang?"

This news immediately made Zhu Wenli take a breath of air, and his face turned pale.

If this news is true.

Then my good nephew, the city is really deep, and everything he does is very likely to be seen.

In that case, wouldn't it be...

This made Zhu Wuwu couldn't help but feel frightened.

Zhuge Zhengwo walked out of the palace unharmed, and combined with the news brought by Shangguan Haitang, he felt more and more that the mastermind behind this was Zhu Houzhao.
