Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1495

Seeing that his intention was correctly guessed, Zhou Gao bent over and said, "Your Highness, you must be kidding. I really didn't do anything or knew nothing. I'm only in charge of the Imperial Library. Xia Houjing couldn't discuss important matters with me...

What's more, I'm just a eunuch. No matter how powerful I want to become, I will be at most a eunuch with a little power. I really don't need to risk my life for this. If I'm really that shrewd, I could have sent someone to inquire about the books yesterday. In this way, I wouldn't be implicated at all."

Yun Shang nodded, "You're right. Buy maybe you did this just to say these words in front of me so that you won't be implicated?"

Zhou Gao smiled bitterly, "You can blame me if you want, Your Highness. It's true that I have done something wrong, and there is no way to prove my innocence. I just want you to show mercy and spare my life. As long as I can live, I can do some hard work."

Yun Shang nodded, "You're right. Although the Imperial Library is as quiet as you said and you won't have a bright future working there, it's easy for you to meet His Majesty and me there. Since I know that you have betrayed us once, I won't put you there anymore."

Yun Shang tapped her fingers on the table and said, "In that case, you can go to guard the Cold Palace.

There is no one locked in the Cold Palace now. Although you will be a little lonely there, you won't have many things to do."

Zhou Gao bowed to Yun Shang in a hurry and said, "Yes, yes, Your Highness. You are so kind. It's good to guard the Cold Palace."

"Well, you don't have to flatter me like this. You can go now."

Then Zhou Gao lowered his head and left.

Hua'er stood aside and said in a low voice after Zhou Gao had left, "Your Highness, it seems that you have guessed that Zhou Gao would come."

Yun Shang took a sip of tea and put the cup aside. She nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I've told you before that Zhou Gao is a smart man. Now that he knows that Xia Houjing has been defeated and he is most likely to be exposed to me, he'd better admit it early in case he would lose the initiative when I find him."

"Didn't you say that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself? Zhou Gao..."

"It's Xia Houjing who Zhou Gao was switching side to. Xia Houjing is our real enemy. Xia Houjing is dead. What can Zhou Gao do alone? And just as he said, he is just a eunuch. No matter how high he want to go, there is still an upper limit. Can he take the throne? Since Xia Houjing is dead, he is no longer our enemy."

Hua'er didn't fully understand what she meant. She just nodded in a daze and said, "Okay."

Yun Shang lowered her eyes. Just now, when Zhou Gao mentioned Wang Wenxiang, Yun Shang remembered another thing. Although Xia Houjing was already dead, the secret of the Dragon Mountains was still unsolved.

And something bad happened to Qian Zhuo...

His Majesty had said that something had happened to Qian Zhuo on her way back, but he didn't know if Qian Zhuo had found anything.

Even though Xia Houjing was dead, the secret of Dragon Mountains was still a thorn in her flesh.

Yun Shang stood up and walked to the inner hall. "The secret guards who went to rescue Qian Zhuo have been gone for half a day, right? Why haven't they come back yet?"

Hua'er followed behind Yun Shang. Hearing Yun Shang's question, she said hurriedly, "Do you want me to send someone to have a look again to see if something has happened?"

"No need." Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "There have been many secret guards sentbefore. The Cao Mansion is now in a mess, so it's not a big deal. Those people are enough to bring Qian Zhuo back. If anything happens, it's useless to send people there.

What's more, the rebellion has just come to an end today. I don't know how many of Xia Houjing's followers are still in the palace city, and it's also possible that some of them will feel that they have no way out after Xia Houjing was defeated, so they want to try their best to win.

The guards around me and His Majesty can't be reduced. It's not that I'm afraid of death. It's just that I can't die for no reason, right?"
