Chapter 383: Knowingly Committing a Crime, Aggravated Crime

Chu Xuanyi looked calmly at the man in green shirt in front of him: "Sir, Mr. Saturday?"

Zhou Shao nodded: "Shao next week."

Chu Xuanyi took out a token: "Her Majesty the Queen has summoned me."

"Yes." Zhou Shao nodded and said politely, "Please lead the way."

So under the personal escort of the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Zhou Shao was able to enter the palace smoothly and went straight to the Qinzheng Hall.

This was Zhou Shao's first time entering the palace, and it was different from any place he had been to before.

The majestic palace gates, row upon row of palaces, one post every ten steps, one sentry every five steps, orderly guards of the Imperial Forest Army, and even the blue bricks on the ground reveal the noble and majestic aura that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Arriving at the Qinzheng Hall, Chu Xuanyi paused slightly and turned to look at him: "This is the imperial palace. What you are going to see later is Her Majesty, the most noble Queen of Xiqi. Do you know the etiquette and rules for meeting the emperor on Saturday? "

Zhou Shao was silent.

His consciousness was still stuck on the scene when they last met. He deliberately ignored her identity, chatting and laughing, being gentle and elegant.

Now I realize that there is a gulf-like distance between their identities that can never be bridged.

Nodding slowly, he said: "I know something."

Chu Xuanyi said nothing more and stepped into the palace door.

"Your Majesty, the young master has arrived on Saturday."

Zhou Shao raised his eyes and looked at the woman sitting on the desk reviewing the memorial. It was the same person, but in a different location, her demeanor was very different.

And he also needs to treat it with a completely different attitude.

"Common man Zhou Shao, please see Her Majesty the Queen." Zhou Shao lifted up his clothes and knelt down. Zhou Shao respectfully performed the salute and said, "Long live Her Majesty the Queen, long live, long live."

"Long live?" Chu Qinghuang raised her eyes from the memorial, glanced at him casually, her voice was light and did not distinguish between happiness and anger, "If Mr. Zhou's last plan was successful, I might not even live to be sixteen, so why live forever? "

Chu Xuanyi's face changed slightly, and he frowned and looked at Zhou Shao.

"The common people deserve to die." Zhou Shao lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please punish me."

"If I want to punish you, you will only die." Chu Qinghuang closed her eyes, folded the memorial in her hand, and took another one casually, "Chu Xuanyi, you go out first, I will talk to him alone. talk."

"Yes." Chu Xuanyi bowed, "I'm leaving."

Chu Xuanyi retreated, leaving only Chu Qinghuang and Zhou Shao in the palace.

There was a moment of silence.

Chu Qinghuang opened the memorial in his hand, frowned slightly, read only two lines, then put it together and threw it aside.

For more than a month after returning from Dongling, every day ministers worked hard to write memorials, asking her to fill the harem. Today alone, three similar memorials have appeared.

Even yesterday, there were ministers in the court who said righteously that the emperor must have no heirs, and that the issue of heirs is related to the stability of the country, as if if she didn't choose the emperor's husband, Xiqi would soon be destroyed.

Not doing business properly.

Sure enough, the decision to train young upstarts was the right one. These old ministers didn't know what they were thinking about all day long. They didn't do much of the business and just stared at her harem all day long.

Chu Qinghuang looked indifferent.

She was just sixteen years old, and she was anxious to have a baby not long after she ascended the throne?

Is she out of her mind?

"I wonder what Her Majesty the Queen wants to talk to the common people?" Zhou Shao didn't hear her speak for a long time, so he took the initiative to ask with a respectful attitude, "The common people listen carefully to your majesty's instructions."

Chu Qinghuang was silent for a moment, put down the pen in his hand, put the memorial aside, relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair, his eyes finally fell on Zhou Shao: "Can't you see that I want you to kneel for a while longer?"

Zhou Shao remained silent for a moment, lowered his head and said, "The common people know their guilt."

"You should already know about Prince Xuan being sent to the Heavenly Prison." Chu Qinghuang said indifferently, "What are your thoughts?"

Zhou Shao thought for a while: "The grassroots people had set up checkpoints on the road before. Almost all the people on the only road from Dongling to Xiqi were manned by the grassroots people. The instructions given by King Xuan were to silence people. After thinking about it, the grassroots people did not dare to follow his instructions. Do."

"So you already know my identity."

"yes."

"Knowingly committing a crime will be punished by an additional level." Chu Qinghuang said, "Do you know that the crime of regicide punishes nine tribes?"

Zhou Shao said respectfully: "The common people did not take action."

"This is not a reason." Chu Qinghuang picked up the tea cup and said in a cold and ruthless voice, "If you have the intention to kill the king, you are treasonous and deserve death."

Zhou Shao was shuddered and leaned over to confess: "The common people deserve to die, let your majesty do whatever you want."
