The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Zhao Pu also intended to send Yan Qing away. He also didn't want the Yan family to be involved in this meaningless fight. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that all of this was directed at one person.

When Eunuch An saw Yan Qing leaving, he tactfully left the Qinzheng Hall and stood respectfully at the door.

Now, there were only father and son left in the hall. Emperor Song Zhen put away his imperial majesty and looked at Zhao Pu with a smile on his face, showing a rare fatherly love.

"Pu'er! Has the remaining poison been removed?"

"Father! Taoist Peng does have some skills. The remaining poison in my body has been completely cleared." Zhao Pu said with joy on his face.

However, Emperor Song Zhen still caught a hint of intriguing in Zhao Pu's eyes, but he did not choose to break through.

Seeing Zhao Pu recovering from his injuries, Emperor Song Zhen felt relieved again. Recalling the time when the crown prince was inexplicably poisoned in the palace, he was furious and beat all the servants in the East Palace to death.

The Imperial Hospital was ordered to do its best to treat Zhao Pu. Although he eventually woke up, they had no way to cure the remaining poison in his body.

Fortunately, the current Imperial Medical Officer Zhang Jingtian suddenly remembered that when he was traveling, he met Peng Yue by chance at Xuantian Temple in Wuzhou. When he was exchanging medical skills with him, he was amazed by his ability to cure poisons.

That's why the prince went on a secret visit.

"Pu'er! Why didn't you send back any news after you entered Wuzhou?" Emperor Qianming couldn't help but wonder.

"this......"

Seeing Zhao Pu's expression, Emperor Song Zhen must have sensed that something was wrong. His heart sank and he asked in a cold voice, "What happened?"

Zhao Pu calmed himself down, pondered for a moment, and then told his whole experience in Wuzhou and the dangers he encountered.

After all, now is a good opportunity. If he doesn't make it clear, and someone later accuses him of something, he will lose both the wife and the army.

Song Zhenzong listened attentively, and his expression became more and more solemn. Because Zhao Pu's words were full of danger, and Yan Shuang risked her life to save him several times.

"Father! That's the details. If Kejun hadn't risked his life to save me, I would have died in Yongzhou."

Emperor Song Zhen clenched his fist with a sullen look on his face and said in a cold voice: "I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."

"Father! It's not important whether I explained it or not. I am fine, but..."

Listening to Zhao Pu's hesitation, how could Emperor Song Zhen not know his plan? He immediately waved his hand and said, "Zhang Qing's guards are not good. Considering that he is already dead, I will not pursue him."

"Father is wise."

"Wait!~"

Emperor Song Zhen waved his hand and hurriedly stopped Zhao Pu from thanking him. His face darkened and he said, "I will not pursue his fault, but I hope you can take over the Ministry of Punishment."

Zhao Pu knew the power of the Ministry of Punishment, as it controlled the lifeline of officials above the fifth rank in the Song Dynasty.

As long as the Director of the Ministry of Punishment has the slightest thought, any official with any scandal will not escape punishment.

Zhao Pu naturally understood what Emperor Song Zhen was thinking. He only thought about it for a moment before making a decision.

"Father! I can take over the Ministry of Punishment, but I have a condition."

"Oh!~"

Emperor Song Zhen instantly became interested. After all, it was rare to hear the word "conditions" from Zhao Pu's mouth.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Emperor Song Zhen said with a playful smile.

"Your son would like to ask for a deputy commander position for Kejun. I hope your Majesty will grant me your grace." Zhao Pu immediately stood up and bowed his head.

"Vice Commander?"

Emperor Song Zhen murmured to himself and glanced at Zhao Pu. In theory, it was not impossible to give him the position of deputy commander, but Yan Shuang did not know martial arts, so it might not be appropriate to place him in the Ministry of Punishment.

Zhao Pu naturally understood Emperor Song Zhen's concerns, which were nothing more than his worry that Yan Shuang was a civil official.

If it were other concerns, Zhao Pu might not have the confidence, but in terms of military force alone, he still had a way to convince Emperor Song Zhen.

"Father! During this trip to Wuzhou, Jun used his wisdom to save me several times. Although he has no martial arts skills, he still managed to send me back to the capital when surrounded by many assassins. I believe he can do it with his courage and wisdom."

Emperor Song Zhen pondered for a moment, looked at Zhao Pu who looked eager, and finally nodded helplessly: "I agree. You go and make the arrangements!"

"Thank you, Father."

Zhao Pu bowed his head and saluted, saying, "Now that I have returned safely, I will go to the Queen Mother's palace to report my safety."

"Well! Go ahead." Emperor Song Zhen nodded lovingly.

Seeing Zhao Pu leave, Emperor Song Zhen's face darkened, and he said in a cold and frosty voice: "Little Anzi!"

Hearing this, Eunuch An outside the door quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty!"

"Go and convey my oral order. Let Zhao Qian enter the palace immediately. There must be no mistake." Emperor Zhen of Song angrily slammed the table.

"Yes! I'll go right away." Eunuch An leaned over and replied.

After he trembled and left the Qinzheng Hall, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered with lingering fear: "What did the Second Prince do to make the butler call him by his full name."

At this time, Emperor Song Zhen was sitting in front of the jade table with a gloomy face. After listening to Zhao Pu's words, the first thing he thought of was that all this was related to Zhao Qian.

He was not sure at first, but after seeing the old fox Yan Hou retreat, he instantly confirmed his thoughts.

Zhao Qian had already gone to bed, but when he heard the oral order from Eunuch An, he was led into the palace with a confused look on his face.

On the imperial road of the palace, Zhao Qian could not hide his suspicion and hurried a few steps to ask, "Eunuch An! Why did the emperor come to see me? Could you please give me some advice, Eunuch An?"

As Zhao Qian spoke, he stuffed a silver note into Eunuch An's arms.

After scanning the amount on the banknote, Eunuch An smiled and said softly, "The prince just returned to the palace."

"Buzz!~"

Zhao Qian's head was buzzing, as if all the life had been drained from his body. He followed Eunuch An with a dazed look on his face.

After a while, Eunuch An arrived outside the Qinzheng Palace, looked at Zhao Qian who looked completely disappointed behind him and said, "Second Prince! The emperor is inside, I can only take you here."

Zhao Qian came back to his senses, responded casually, then pushed open the door of the Qinzheng Hall under pressure and walked in nervously.

As for Zhao Pu, after visiting his biological mother, Queen Fang, he led a team of Yulin Guards to the Ministry of Punishment.

Compared with other government offices, the gate of the Ministry of Punishment can be described as somewhat depressing. After all, those who can enter this gate are either superiors or criminals, and their official positions are all from the fifth rank and above.

After Zhao Pu simply handed over the formalities and stated his identity, he sat down on the main seat and glanced at the officers and lieutenants and asked, "What case is the Ministry of Punishment currently handling?"

"Reporting to the prince, at the moment..."

As soon as the captain opened his mouth, Zhao Pu angrily slammed the desk and said in a cold voice: "There is no prince here, only the commander."

The lieutenant suppressed his fear, stroked his hands and replied: "Reporting to the commander, the first task of the Ministry of Punishment is to find the owner of the Lian family merchant."

"Lian Family Chamber of Commerce?" Zhao Pu asked with a look of doubt on his face.
