Chapter 138 Poisonous Ginseng Soup
The chief steward of the imperial court came in with Yumama, and Yumao saluted and praised the queen mother, saying that the queen mother cared about the emperor, and this time she cooked ginseng soup for the emperor herself.Li Tianxiao seemed to be very busy, and waved his hand: "You can just leave it to Xu De, I'm busy right now, I'll drink later."

Xu De, who was also the chief steward of the imperial court, stepped forward and took the meal box from Madam Yu.Nanny Yu smiled and said, "It's fine for the old slave to wait outside. The empress cares about the emperor, and she is afraid that the emperor will stop drinking when he gets busy. She must wait for the emperor to finish drinking and take the meal box back."

Xu De looked at Li Tianxiao.

Li Tianxiao nodded, this was not the first time this happened.

Xu De took out the soup cup in the meal box with his own hands, filled out a bowl, and after putting it away, he took his mother out.

Chu Qing waited for the door of the imperial study room to close before she walked out from the hidden compartment, and saw Li Tianxiao staring at the bowl of ginseng soup in a daze.

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Does the emperor want to drink?"

Li Tianxiao raised his head, but smiled meaningfully at her, and brought out a soup bowl, a pot of unknown flowers from a dark place, and poured it directly.The flowers are a little wilted, and the leaves are withered. It looks very bad.

Chu Qing looked at Li Tianxiao's actions strangely, puzzled.

Then staring at the half-withered flower, her face changed slightly: This ginseng soup...

But isn't this sent by the queen mother?
If she remembered correctly, it didn't mean that Empress Dowager Liu was Li Tianxiao's biological mother...

Birth mother... Birth mother...

She inexplicably remembered the corpse.

No wonder she always thought that something was wrong. It turned out that here, she didn't know that Li Tianxiao was the emperor, so she forgot about the corpse. She verified that the corpse was probably Li Tianxiao's biological mother.

But in this case, how could Empress Dowager Liu be Li Tianxiao's biological mother?

When they came to find themselves, they said they were nobles from the palace?

Noble...

Thinking of those palace secrets, Chu Qing couldn't help but look at Li Tianxiao with pity.

No wonder it was rumored that he abolished Liu Deqian. She was still thinking, isn't Liu Deqian his cousin?

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that Li Tianxiao's biological mother is also the Empress Dowager Liu...

She gasped.

After Li Tianxiao finished all this, when he turned around, he saw Chu Qing's complicated eyes: "Why, do you sympathize with me?"

Chu shook his head lightly: "Fortunately, it's just a little accident."

"Accidentally, Empress Dowager Liu is not my biological mother, or is it an accident that Empress Dowager Liu will harm me?"

"Both. She is so bold, isn't she afraid of being exposed and discovered by you?" Chu Qing asked.

"She is my biological mother in name, and tiger poison does not eat children. Even if she really finds that there is something wrong with this ginseng soup, she can find any reason at will. It is enough that the people around me are stirring up the relationship between our mother and child, but what if If she succeeds, she will still be her supreme empress dowager." Li Tianxiao sneered, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Chu Qing thought that he only started to investigate a few months ago. If he had known earlier, he would have started to investigate a long time ago: "Your Majesty, when did you know?"

Li Tianxiao was silent: "Two years ago."

Chu Qing immediately understood the reason for Li Tianxiao's complicated expression. For more than 20 years, she had respected a person as her biological mother, but suddenly this person became the murderer who might kill her own mother, and wanted to murder him. Think about it. This emperor is not easy to be.

The fact that Chu Qing kept Li Tianxiao from her at that time completely disappeared. If it was her, she must be cautious, after all, if she was not careful, she would lose everything.

He can't afford to gamble.

After Chu Qing discussed with Li Tianxiao about the specific travel time, she left the palace. She went directly back to Beizhen Fusi, and after making an appointment with Yu Kuifeng, she went to Zhao Mansion.

It's not like they just checked Mrs. Zhao's garden the day before, they started to look elsewhere.

Zhao Kuiwu felt a lot more at ease after receiving Uncle Liu Guo's guarantee.

However, because Yu Gufeng was reminded by Chu Qing in advance, he walked to a separate courtyard in the backyard: "What is this place?"

Zhao Kuiwu didn't expect them to find this place at all, he felt a little bit in his heart, and then quickly said: "This, this is the place where the old concubine lives, it's inconvenient..."

"Inconvenient?" Yu Zufeng raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Your wife is dead, anyone could be the murderer! Come on, go in and search!"

"No!" Zhao Kuiwu refused without thinking.

The people inside must never be exposed.

"Yo," Yu Gufeng sneered, "Master Zhao is hiding it like this. Could it be that there is some ulterior secret in it that your wife found out, so you sent someone to kill your wife? Maybe it's behind you." The housekeeper moved his hand, right?" He pointed at Uncle Zhong.

Uncle Zhong's heart moved, and his expression changed slightly.

Zhao Kuiwu was so angry that his brain ached: "Master Yu, don't spit blood!" He looked at Chu Qing, wanting Chu Qing to defend him.

Chu Qing glanced at the garden: "Looking at how old this garden is, maybe there's nothing wrong with it. Is Master Yu too ignorant?"

Yu Gufeng: "Master Xiaoyu, if you are helping Mr. Zhao to excuse you, are you going to guard yourself and steal it? Cover him up?"

Chu Qing sneered, pretending to be extremely annoyed: "Master Yu really bites anyone he sees!"

"I can't help it. I'm a dog. I don't want to bite this person when I see him. But I'm happy." Yu Zufeng raised his hand directly: "Go in and search, whoever dares to stop him will be arrested as a suspect!"

Zhao Kuiwu gritted his teeth angrily, and just about to say something, at this moment, a baby's cry suddenly came from the yard.

Yu Kuifeng slapped his legs, and laughed loudly: "So there is an illegitimate child here? Go in!"

After all, he kicked the door open, like a bandit.

Zhao Kuiwu didn't stop him at all.

So, this time, he broke in directly, and grabbed the baby under one year old, four wet nurses, and eight nuns out of it.

The baby was frightened and cried terribly.

The nanny coaxed one after another, and suddenly, the whole Zhao Mansion became a mess.

This matter was brought directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so Mr. Zhen from the Ministry of Criminal Justice had no choice but to come forward again.

Master Zhen had a headache when he saw Chu Qing and Yu Gufeng: "Well, Master Yu, why did you bring me here? This matter has been put under the supervision of Beizhen Fusi, and our Criminal Department is..."

"Who said I said this, I want to sue Zhao Kuiwu for kidnapping and selling children!" Yu Kuifeng pointed directly at Zhao Kuiwu.

Zhao Kuiwu was so angry that he almost jumped up and fought him desperately: "Stop talking nonsense! This is the old man's child!"

"Who are you lying to? Who doesn't know that the son born to you by your concubine died a few months ago, and you buried it with great fanfare. If you gave birth to another one, why didn't you tell me? This child must be Not his!"

"This... this..." Zhao Kuiwu was speechless, regretting not letting the child outside.

But this child is now the only bargaining chip he can hold against Uncle Liu Guo.

How dare he move the child where he can't see it?
But what made him even more unexpected was that he had been worried that his wife's death would affect him, so he actually forgot about this child.

Now that Yu Kuifeng said that, he was dumbfounded.

"Guilty? Can't tell?" Yu Zhufeng was aggressive, and looked at Mrs. Zhen: "I remember that there were missing children in many places before, maybe this one in front of me is also the same."

"What nonsense are you talking about! This, this is my child!" Zhao Kuiwu's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the child he killed.

"Your child? How do you prove it?" Yu Banfeng sneered.

"This..." Zhao Kuiwu gritted his teeth.

"Is there nothing to say? Lord Zhen, I want to find out who this child belongs to!" Yu Zufeng stared at Lord Zhen urgently, and Lord Zhen's scalp was numb from looking at him. This is a barb. He can't afford to offend the big celebrity, and now the emperor is also paying attention to this case, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "This... I know, I will investigate."

"Okay, then the child will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for the time being." Yu Kuifeng made a direct decision with a wave of his hand.

"Why? This is my son!" Zhao Kuiwu shouted hastily.

"Your son? Can you prove it?" Yu Gufeng was playing a rogue, but Zhao Kuiwu couldn't find anything to refute.

His "son" died a few months ago and is still buried elsewhere, and he is indeed unable to reveal the identity of the child now.

Can only endure.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhen heard that he just had a baby. Your baby will be handed over to Mrs. Zhen's milk. It's decided that there will be no problems." Yu Kuifeng smiled, but took Zhao Kuiwu back with the excuse that the baby needs to be fed. The reason was blocked.

Master Zhen was stared at like this, so he had no choice but to nod.

Before Yu Kuifeng left, he smiled and said, "Master Zhen, this child is well placed with you, and the emperor is watching. If there is any problem, you are deceiving the emperor, but be careful of the child on your head." The black hat..."

Lord Zhen quickly apologized with a smile: "Of course not, of course not."

Only then did Yu Gufeng smile and hand over the child to Master Zhen.

Mr. Zhen quickly caught it, and it was quite interesting to talk about it, probably because Mr. Zhen was used to coaxing his son at home, but he was quite good at teasing the child, but the child stopped crying and started to grab the black yarn on Mrs. Zhen's head.

Zhao Kuiwu was stared at by Yu Kuifeng for a long time, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and leave the Criminal Department.

After leaving the gate of the Ministry of Punishment, Yu Zufeng left in shock. Chu Qingai gave Zhao Kuiwu a helpless look. This was suggested by Yu Zufeng. If you didn’t communicate with me in advance, how could I know that this would happen? What?

Zhao Kuiwu could only resentfully kick the stone lion in front of the criminal department, almost falling down.

Uncle Zhong anxiously supported him: "Master, be careful!"

Zhao Kuiwu pushed him away and hurried to the uncle's mansion.

Uncle Zhong hurriedly followed, but failed to catch up. He could only watch Zhao Kuiwu's carriage go further and further away.

He squatted on the ground, anxious, how could this happen?
Didn't the master say that it must be all right?
