Imperial pet forensic mad concubine

Chapter 374 Zhou Kingdom Rebellion
"Your Majesty, I didn't come to harm you. I came here to deliver things to you at the princess' order. If you yell like this, you will not only kill your servants, but also the princess." Qing Li planned to get straight to the point, so Directly explain your purpose clearly.

The little Emperor Zhou mistakenly thought that she was the one who came to kill him, now that he heard her say that, his voice was extremely gentle in the dark, and he believed her words.In an instant, he gave up all struggles and turned his head.

Under the moonlight, Qing Li's face looked gentle and kind.

"Really? Is it Yu'er?" Little Zhou Emperor's eyes were very similar to Wen Yu's, almost identical.In the night, it looks like a night pearl is generally dazzling.He held Qing Li's hands expectantly, his eyes that were shining just now dimmed in an instant, "But...I can't find her now..."

His voice was dull, and he was extremely disappointed.

Qing Li took out Wen Yu's origami cranes from his bosom, "These were folded by the princess herself, so it's good for the emperor to keep them."

Little Emperor Zhou took the paper crane, feeling a touch of emotion in his heart.During this period of time, he has become extremely nervous and sensitive because of the matter of the Queen Mother Zhong. Now seeing that the jars are all paper cranes made by Wen Yu himself, he suddenly realizes that there is still a huge palace in the Zhou Kingdom. A very small amount of warmth.

At least this kind of warmth must be extremely inconspicuous in the eyes of others.

Qing Li looked around subconsciously, and there were almost no guards patrolling the Chaoyuan Hall, so she slightly relaxed her vigilance.In fact, when she looked from the outside, she already had the feeling that the guards here were not so much protecting the little Emperor Zhou as they were restricting his movement and freedom.

And in the entire Zhou Kingdom's palace, the only one who can do this should be the Queen Mother Zhong.

Thinking of this, Qing Li could not help but cautiously said, "Your Majesty, I have delivered the things to you, but you must not tell anyone what happened tonight."

Little Zhou Emperor nodded immediately.

"Remember, anyone."

Qing Li would emphasize this only because she was involved in it under the name of Gong'e, and if anyone knew about it, they would definitely be suspicious of her.

"Sister, I understand what you mean, and I won't tell anyone." Little Zhou Emperor promised tirelessly. After pondering for a while, he suddenly nodded and asked, "By the way, how are Yu'er and Concubine Dowager doing these days?"

There was a hint of worry in his eyes. After all, he knew about it... If Queen Mother Zhong found out, she would definitely not let Concubine Zhao mother and daughter go.

"They are all very good, but you, Your Majesty..."

Little Zhou Emperor is just a young man, now that the burden of the entire Zhou Kingdom is on him, it will definitely bring him a lot of trouble and disputes, and I am afraid that the current situation is also related to his identity.Thinking of this, Qing Li felt a little more heartache.She could feel his fear and helplessness, just like his desperate struggle and fear when she first entered Chaoyuan Hall.

In the huge palace, he was actually the only one all this time, and he was just a child.

If there is no Wen Yu, I am afraid that no one cares about him until now.

Little Emperor Zhou shook his head, "The empress just sent someone to watch over me, it's fine...you tell Yu'er, I'll go find her after a while. At least, wait until all the people who imprisoned me here are removed .”

"Why did the Empress Dowager imprison you here?" Qing Li blurted out subconsciously.

The little Emperor Zhou hesitated for a moment, he seemed to be thinking, wondering whether he should say those words or not.After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "The queen mother locked me here... because I discovered a big secret, and the queen mother was very angry, so she did this to punish me .”

Qing Li understood, and before he had time to ask in detail, the servants of the Chaoyuan Palace had already stood up.

When she heard such movements, she knew that she could no longer stay.Before she knew it, it was the fourth watch. If she continued to stay, she might be noticed soon.

"Your Majesty, I'm leaving." Qing Li frowned and looked at the sky at the window, there was a faint bruise in the dark night.There are a few blue clouds in the black ink, which are in the window.

Little Emperor Zhou hugged the paper crane and sent her to the window.

"Sister, tell Yu'er, I will definitely find a way to see her soon. Let her be well and try not to worry."

"it is good."

Qing Li stepped out of the window and quickly jumped into the darkness.

A ray of light finally appeared in the pitch-black night, but before the sunrise, only a bright red in the corner of the sky could be seen.The red light hides in the darkness and rises in an extremely slow way.

Today's sunlight is really exaggeratedly red.

It was finally bright, and a court lady entered the gate of Chaoyuan Hall with breakfast.She subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, you should use..." The words fell halfway, and then stopped abruptly. The breakfast in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and all the bowls were shattered.She looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief, her legs softened and she fell to the ground.

Not a very scary scene.

It was nothing more than a fair-faced young man lying on the ground with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, holding a jar in his hand, and the jar was full of paper cranes.All the origami cranes were scattered all over the ground, and they fell around him with him.

Little Emperor Zhou—death!
The palace maid was terrified, but it was not because of the lamentation of the young man in front of her, but because of her own imminent disaster.

Beiyuan at this time.

Qing Li ran around all night and was about to come back to rest, but felt a burst of earth-shattering footsteps surrounding the entire Beiyuan.The officers and soldiers who were guarding outside suddenly broke in grandiosely, and everyone treated them seriously, standing in front of Concubine Zhao one by one.

Perhaps it was because of Empress Dowager Zhong's instruction, so their faces were full of majesty that could not be rejected.

Concubine Zhao was used to being quiet on weekdays, and when she felt that all the guards guarding outside rushed in, she subconsciously came out first.She was still dignified, and there was no trace of fear on her face, but she seemed to have too much humility and panic in order to avoid accidents.She walked up to the commander of the guards, then lowered her head slightly, and asked softly, "This...what's the matter?"

It's not that she doesn't have doubts in her heart, it's just that in such a situation, she has some confidence in herself.

"By the order of the Empress Dowager! Come and arrest the suspect who assassinated the emperor!" The commander of the guards clanged his words expressionlessly, and he didn't even show any respect when he saw Zhao Taifei. "Come here, arrest Zhao Taifei first!"

After saying that, several guards behind him stood beside Concubine Zhao, one on the left and one on the right, trapping her in the middle.

At this moment, Wen Yu just felt something was wrong, and rushed out leading Dabai, "You...what are you going to do?! Let go of my mother!" As she said, she led Dabai to the two guards of Concubine Zhao. in front of you.Following her intention, Dabai who was following her immediately bared his teeth, showing an extremely fierce look.When Wen Yu arrived in front of Concubine Zhao, Dabai even rushed towards one of the guards, biting wildly and howling with all his might.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wen Yu hurried to Concubine Zhao's side, and asked in a low voice with concern, "Mother, are you alright?"

Concubine Zhao shook her head, seeing the messy scene, a look of helplessness suddenly appeared in her eyes, "Tell Dabai to stop."

Wen Yu nodded, and immediately summoned Dabai.Dabai stopped his movements immediately, and quickly ran towards Wen Yu.And the guard under his mouth had already been bitten, with a large swath of bright red blood on his body.

"Arrest all the people here, don't let anyone go! By the way, I want this dog!" As soon as the commander of the guards finished speaking, Dabai grinned at him.Such a ferocious appearance naturally made him startled, he shrank slightly, and could only dispatch his own men to deal with this extremely difficult dog.

The rest of the guards went into Beiyuan to search.

The entire Beiyuan was turned upside down in an instant.Concubine Zhao's mother and daughter don't have anything here, but there are some necessities of life and some thin clothes.However, at this moment, all these things were turned out in broad daylight, and they were turned over in front of the room like mummified corpses and trash, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

And Qing Li, who was sleeping in the room, was also awakened by the noise at this moment.Who knew that when she just stepped out of the room, several guards stood beside her, almost trapping her.Qing Li hadn't slept all night, she was still a little dazed at this moment, she almost wanted to fight back, but fortunately, Dabai's shout brought her back to her senses, and she finally regained her senses for a moment.

"This military lord, this slave and servant have the guts to ask, what happened?" As he spoke, his eyes swept across the mess.His fingers were slightly clenched into fists. No matter what happened, it was somewhat unkind to treat orphans and widows like this.Concubine Zhao is also a concubine after all, so she shouldn't be treated like a court lady by a few guards.

"Hmph, what happened? Tonight, His Majesty passed away, and the Empress Dowager found the princess's belongings in His Majesty's room!" It was all based on reason and evidence, and it was the Empress Dowager Zhong's instruction.The commander of the guards pretended to be arrogant, and even more arrogant, "Now the Queen Mother has almost confirmed that the death of His Majesty must be related to the three of you!"

When Wen Yu heard this, his face was full of disbelief, "How is it possible? How is it possible for the emperor brother..."

Her wide eyes were full of astonishment, but looking at the battle, she felt that it was unlikely that these guards were lying after all.She subconsciously looked at Qing Li, and Qing Li was naturally equally confused - she almost left in the early morning, and the little Emperor Zhou was still fine when she left, how could it be possible that he died suddenly and perfectly?

Within the territory of Qi State.

When Su Yu returned to the capital of Qi State, he was greeted by his cronies.

"His Royal Highness King Su." There was a sense of respect in the words of the confidant, and he immediately knelt down and saluted.During this period of time, he has been continuously assisting Su Yu in investigations, and now that he has heard the news of his return to the city, he even put down everything at hand and resolutely appeared in front of him just to welcome him.In his eyes, His Royal Highness King Su is still His Royal Highness King Su, and he can't afford to be negligent.

Although Su Yu was eager to investigate the matter of her biological mother, but when she returned to her hometown, she had such a close friend, so she was naturally grateful.All the long journeys and exhaustion from the journey disappeared at this moment, and he subconsciously asked casually, "Get up first, how is Emperor Qi doing now?"

This question is not a waste question, after returning to Qi Palace, it is more convenient to know the person's movements.

The confidant immediately replied sharply, "Nowadays, the news from the whole country of Qi is not ambiguous, but what I can be sure of is that His Majesty is already seriously ill."

Hearing this, Su Yu actually sighed in his heart.He shook his head helplessly, thinking about the past for a moment, but now it's all gone.He had already made up his mind to make a clean break with the past, not to mention that she had more important things to do for him now—his biological mother.
