Chapter 119

The emperor watched the imperial concubine get up and put on her clothes with cold eyes. Seeing that she was half dressed, he stretched out his long arms and pulled her back into his arms.

The imperial concubine pretended to be angry and struggled a few times, while the emperor coaxed her lightly. "My dear concubine, if you want to know in the future, just ask me directly. On that day, Li Shi led two girls from the mansion into the palace, and I also knew about it.

When I went to the Empress Dowager's Palace after the morning court, I only saw the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Li, and those two girls had already gone to the Imperial Garden with Huiyi to play.

I have no chance to see you.

After Mrs. Li left, the Empress Dowager summoned me again and confided the truth to me.The adopted daughter Zhuo Nan is actually Li's biological daughter.At that time, in a moment of confusion, Li Daitao froze and exchanged Zhuo Ziao for his biological daughter. "

The imperial concubine's eyes flickered, and she said in surprise; "So that's what happened, the concubine also thought... I deserve to die, and the concubine almost misunderstood the queen mother."

The emperor touched the imperial concubine's smooth black hair. "After all, it's the prime minister's housework. I didn't want to take care of it at the time. But I didn't expect that in the past few days, there were rumors in Beijing that Zhuo Nan was the empress dowager's illegitimate daughter! I don't know... who did the empress dowager offend, and she wanted to slander her so much?" , slander the late emperor!"

The emperor was furious, the imperial concubine was startled, and the little bird said indignantly, "Your Majesty, should we thoroughly investigate this matter? Slandering the late emperor's reputation is a serious crime against the nine clans!"

The emperor smiled slightly, his expression suddenly calmed down. "My dear concubine, those who spread rumors are probably waiting for me to thoroughly investigate this matter and want to make it big. By then, the rumors may become true. I have already sent someone to stop the rumors, who dares to wantonly Spread, slander the Queen Mother, and put them all in prison. No one spreads rumors, so it will naturally break through."

The imperial concubine suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.

The emperor lowered his head and asked curiously, "Why is Aifei laughing?"

"The concubine thought that the prime minister would be very angry when he found out the identity of the eldest son." No wonder Zhuo Nan was able to show off his power in the prime minister's residence, and even Zhuo Ziao dared to beat her. It turned out that she was the real noble daughter of a famous family.

The emperor also laughed out of spite. "In vain, Zhuo Shiqing is so old and cunning, he never thought he would be tricked by his own woman."

"Your Majesty, the only prime minister so far is Zhuo Ziao, right? If he has nothing to do in the future, wouldn't it be... the end of history?"

"Hahahaha!" The emperor gloated and laughed directly.Zhuo Shiqing!So what if your followers are all over the court? !Let's see who will die for you after a hundred years!

In the capital, everyone who talked about the Empress Dowager was arrested one after another. Suddenly, everyone was in danger and cautious in their words and deeds.

When the prince learned that it was the emperor himself who ordered the arrest, he angrily smashed the study and had no choice but to give up.

A few days later, in the prime minister's mansion, Hui Yaxuan.

Zhuo Nan pretended to be sick and stayed behind closed doors, all kinds of precious gifts still filled her room like flowing water, and also filled up her small storeroom.

Zhuo Nan sat by the window thinking, she was waiting for the Holy Majesty or the Empress Dowager to question her, but a few days passed, there was no movement at all in the palace, not even Tianyin Residence.

On the contrary, the prime minister's mansion is under martial law, and even some maids and servants in charge of purchasing are not allowed to enter and leave the mansion at will.

Zhuo Nan stood up suddenly. "Xin Yi, Miss Ben has just recovered from a serious illness and wants to go out for a stroll, so you accompany Miss Ben out of the house." She wanted to go out to find out the news herself, to find out what happened.

"Yes." Xin Yi responded and asked; "Miss, this time, do you still have to disguise yourself?"

Zhuo Nan thought for a while, then waved his hands and said, "It's too troublesome, get me a veiled hat to put on."

Xin Yi went down to prepare the veil.

Zhuo Nan only took Xin Yi out, and the maids of Huiyaxuan dared not have any doubts.

The two came to the main gate of the prime minister's mansion, and they saw the guards guarding the gate checking the people who came in and out.

Even the maids and servants who were familiar with before have to be interrogated, and even taken to remote corners for body searches.

Zhuo Nan showed the jade pendant awarded to her by the prime minister, took Xin Yi, and left the mansion smoothly.

Si Kou Yubing secretly followed.

Going out to inquire about news, Zhuo Nan went straight to the largest tea house.Instead of asking for a private room, he took Xin Yi to choose the most remote corner of the lobby downstairs, where it would not attract attention, and it would be convenient for listening to news.

I ordered a pot of the best Junshan Yinzhen, accompanied by some of the restaurant's best dim sum.

Seeing that they were ordering Junshan silver needles, Xiao Er secretly checked their clothes and made sure they had the money to pay the bill, then reminded them in a low voice, "You two ladies, there is a private room upstairs." Order the most expensive tea, Naturally, you have to sit in the private room, who would sit in such a noisy lobby?

"No need." Zhuo Nan refused coldly.

Xiao Er thought to himself, this female guest wearing a veiled hat is really strange.Then he nodded and bowed. "If you have any orders, just call the little one." Turn around and leave.

Zhuo Nan drank a pot of tea and did not hear any rumors about the Queen Mother.I had to be patient and refill the pot.After drinking two pots of tea and filling my stomach with tea, I only heard some unbearable stories of chickens crowing, dogs stealing, and stealing incense and jade.Ziyi dropped the silver and left with Xin Yi.

After leaving the teahouse, Xin Yi looked at Zhuo Nan and asked, "Miss, shall we go home now?"

"It's rare to go out for a trip. Naturally, it's a good time to play. Why go back so soon?"

"Yes." Xin Yi followed behind Zhuo Nan.

Zhuo Nan is in charge of buying, and she is in charge of taking.

I just strolled around for a while, probably because I drank too much tea, and people have three urgencies. "Xin Yi, where is the toilet?"

Xin Yi thought for a while, then pointed in a direction.

The two came to a remote alley, but Zhuo Nan paused before they entered.

A person follows behind on the left.

There is a man lurking on the roof at the front right.

Zhuo Nan didn't look at the hiding place of the two of them, but pretended to be looking for the toilet, and listened while looking inside.

From the sound of footsteps, she immediately judged that the person lurking on the roof had familiar footsteps and light steps, and it should be Si Kou Yubing.

The footsteps of the person who was hiding in the left rear and followed all the way from the Prime Minister's Mansion were very strange. Zhuo Nan preliminarily judged that it should be a strange man he didn't know.The footsteps were a little heavy, and his martial arts should be inferior to Si Kou Yubing.

Zhuo Nan looked at Xin Yi. "You wait for me here." Turning around, she walked towards the toilet and stepped in.No matter what the emergency was, it couldn't compare to her rushing to the bathroom.

The lean man who had been following secretly, saw that only Xin Yi was left, and looked around a few times with mischievous eyebrows.Finding that other pedestrians were still some distance away, they rushed into the alley quickly.

He slammed his palm at Xin Yi, whose back was turned to him, trying to knock her down all at once.

Unexpectedly, Xin Yi turned around suddenly, and when he saw him at first glance, he opened his mouth and was about to scream!
Seeing the bad situation, the man flicked his cuffs, and a dagger appeared in his palm, threatening Xin Yi with a ferocious face. "Shut up! If you dare to scream loudly and provoke other people, I will kill you immediately!"

"I, I don't call, hero, hero, spare me." Xin Yi hugged the thing in his arms, deliberately pretending to be trembling with fright. "If you want money, I'll give it all to you. Please, don't kill me..."
