Zhang Linzhi was granted the title of Duke and Duke, which made Qiu Shuang both happy for him and a little inexplicably sour. Of course, he was happy that from now on, he did not have to be suppressed by Zhang Yizhi in the harem, and could do his own things and make his fortune; the sad thing was that the reason why he was able to win the title was naturally because he served the emperor with all his heart and made the emperor happy and joyful. From a certain perspective, for a person who likes Zhang Lin from the bottom of his heart, it was equivalent to using her things and using her things to serve other women. Will her feel good?

However, Zhang Lin's rash refusal made her anxious, which meant that she had paid for her things. If she turned off the reward she deserved, wouldn't she lose in vain?

So Qiu Shuang tried her best to wink at Zhang Lin, but the latter did not see it, but Wu Chang next to him noticed it, which surprised him.

If Wu Chang was a normal man, he would definitely understand the meaning of this kind of look, but there was no one below him. His intelligence in love was equivalent to a teenager. A teenager naturally could not understand the subtle meaning of such a woman's eyes to men.

Wu Chang's interpretation of Qiu Shuang's eyes was that she was regretting Zhang Lin's refusal because he also felt the same way. Anyone who received a reward from the sky was busy accepting and thanking him. How could Zhang Lin refuse? Has he been in Hanyuan for a long time and become stupid?

The others around couldn't help laughing secretly after hearing Zhang Lin's new ban. However, who dared to laugh out loud? They all held back.

Some people believe that Zhang Lin is the most worthy of the Shun Duke. Zhang Yi, Zhang Changzong and any worshipper in the palace are more worthy of the name "Shun" than Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin is still more suitable for the word "Gang Lie".

Some people think that this title contains the emperor's helplessness and ridicule towards Zhang Lin.

Some people also analyzed that perhaps this was an encouragement from the emperor to Zhang Lin, and it is unknown that he hoped that he could reach the state of obedience in the future.

No matter what, the holy heart is hard to predict. Trying to speculate on the emperor’s intention is to seek trouble.

Wu Zetian waved his hand to Zhang Lin and said kindly, "You don't have to refuse. Ten months ago, I once said good words. If you resolve three cases, you will be the Duke of your country. Today is the time for me to fulfill my promise."

Wu Zetian rewarded Zhang Lin not for his seven-star magic stick, but for his previous efforts to solve the case. She once promised that after solving three major cases, she would grant him the Duke of the State. However, when Zhang Lin captured Wuya and solved three major cases, there was a quarrel between her and him, so she did not grant him a reward in time.

The emperor's words are golden words, and they cannot be changed, and they will not go back on their promises. Even if she is unhappy in her heart, she would rather realize them first and then find opportunities to deprive them. There are actually many opportunities.

This time, Linyi Hanyuan, she gained a good sleep and a good mood. Naturally, she put forward the old words and fulfilled her promise.

So, in the final analysis, the emperor's title of Zhang Lin was because he made contributions to serving Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin did not agree immediately. He wanted to take this opportunity to fight for Shangguan Wan'er's freedom. Since the emperor has been granted the title of Duke of our country, it means that I am not guilty. Since I am not guilty, then Shangguan Wan'er should not be guilty either. Please ask the emperor to release Shangguan Wan'er.

He was brewing a proper speech in his heart, how to speak to the emperor so that he could achieve his goals without causing the emperor to be angry.

However, his eyes caught a glimpse of Qiu Shuang standing on the left side of the emperor, who was looking at him with a complicated look of expectation and smile.

The eyes were facing each other in the air, and there was a little uneven collision.

Zhang Lin's heart skipped a moment.

Yesterday, she just said in front of Qiu Shuang that she suspected that Shangguan Wan'er was a spy, and now she immediately exonerated Shangguan Wan'er, what did Qiu Shuang think? If Qiu Shuang was an ordinary woman, even if she was the head of the maid in the harem, it would be okay to say it. Zhang Lin was not afraid of her. But she was a Persian princess with ulterior motives. If she knew that she had deceived her, she might vent her anger and even take surgery on Shangguan Wan'er as soon as possible, which would be equivalent to harming Shangguan Wan'er.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lin swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"Thank you for your kindness," Zhang Lin accepted loudly.

This made Qiu Shuang happy and made Wu Chang nod, and Wu Zetian was even more excited and laughed loudly, "Duke Shunguo asked him to get up."

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Zhang Lin stood up and began to report the important matters.

"Please speak." Wu Zetian said with a look of spring breeze. After this time in the cold garden, her feelings for Zhang Lin returned to her previous good condition.

"Last night, according to General Li Duozuo, an assassin suddenly came to Hanyuan." Zhang Lin raised his head and his waist, and his voice was clear.

"Assassin comes?" Wu Zetian changed color slightly when he heard the assassin coming to Hanyuan. Although she knew that Hanyuan was extremely strict and there were many experts, she was now shocked when she heard the assassin.

"Your Majesty, this assassin did not assassinate, and there was no intention to assassinate. She just sent a note, which contained the news of the emperor's heir. I was thinking that the emperor's heir is hopeless to save him." Zhang Lin smiled slightly. He never said Xiaomei's name so as not to make Wu Zetian dislike and cause trouble. However, he also knew that the matter could not be hidden after all, because Li Dan was in Xiaomei's hands, which was reported by Ye Yu in person. It can be said that it was an indisputable fact. After Wu Zetian read the note, he naturally knew that the assassin who passed the note was Xiaomei. At that time, he could not guess, nor could he control it, so he could only let it go.

"Take the note to me quickly." Wu Zetian stretched out his hand to Qiu Shuang and said anxiously.

"Yes." Qiu Shuang agreed in a gentle voice, walked down the steps with light steps, and came to Zhang Lin, with a slight touching corner of her mouth, as if she was saying "congratulations", but she didn't say anything, so no one could hear it.

Zhang Lin didn't want to make any small moves with Qiu Shuang, because the latter was not Shangguan Wan'er, but he did not ignore her behavior, because the other party could become an enemy at any time, which was not what he wanted, so he could only nod his head slightly to respond, and at the same time took out the note from the assassin from his pocket. After verification, the note was not poisonous, so he handed it directly to Qiu Shuang.

Qiu Shuang took the note and looked down. She wanted to see the content of the note, but the note was folded up and the words inside could not be seen. She did not dare to blatantly read the note in front of Wu Zetian. She could only take the note, walk back to Wu Zetian, and submit it to her with respect with both hands.

Wu Zetian reached out to pick up the note, expanded to read it, it said

"Wu Dan is in my hand and wants to get the Handan letter. I will reply within two days, otherwise I will hand it over to Li Ying."

While reading the words of the paper, the happy expression on Wu Zetian's face completely disappeared, his face turned pale with naked eyes, his mouth twitched, his whole body was shaking, he seemed very angry, and his anger became stronger and stronger.

This note is undoubtedly an unscrupulous threat to Wu Zetian.

How could a supreme emperor ever be subjected to such a threat?

Now, she already knew that the assassin who passed the note was Xiaomei who had assassinated her. She also knew that the person Xiaomei cared about was Feitian Biao Hanxin.

And Han Xin is in her hands.

Exchange? Don't think about it!

Otherwise, where is the majesty of the emperor? How can the emperor have face?

Now she wants to compete with Xiaomei with who is more ruthless!

Wu Zetian threw the note on the ground, raised his hand and slapped the armrest of the chair. The palm of his hand was red. With a trembling voice, he shouted hysterically, "Li Tangmei, this evil devil, dares to threaten me, I am so angry!"

"Don't calm down!" Qiu Shuang quickly comforted the emperor with a soft voice, and lowered her head and glanced at the note spread on the ground. Now she saw the content of the text on it clearly.

Wu Zetian suddenly stood up, his lips trembled, and said word by word in a very stern and cold voice, "Transfer my will, and Han Xin entered the palace to steal treasures. His crime is unforgivable. At 3:00 a.m. tomorrow, he will beheaded in the court and show it to the public!"

Fortunately, there is not much time left until the afternoon, so there is really no time to execute the execution, because execution in the court is an extremely serious matter and requires arrangement and preparation in advance. Otherwise, according to Wu Zetian's overwhelming anger, she is likely to issue an order to start the execution on the same day.
