my father is the emperor

Chapter 25
Hearing so many irritated screams like cicadas, Zhou Li frowned and asked in a low voice, "What are you guys doing?"

The maid smiled embarrassedly and said: "Your Highness, it is fine to have dinner together, but there are nearly 2000 people in the Prince's Mansion, and it takes a lot of time to cook. Are you talking about whether our slaves can eat with Your Highness?" of!"

Zhou Li thought for a while, more than 1000 people, it is really difficult to make so many lotus seed porridge, adding that lotus seed porridge was bestowed by the emperor, which is really rare, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't eat it either. Already!"

The maid said: "But..."

Zhou Li thought for a while and said, "It's nothing to worry about, you should do your work first!" He walked into the study slowly and decadently, looked at the locked room where the corpses were stored, and sat down for a while. Hui murmured: "There are so many slaves now, if someone enters the study, so many corpses will be found, what should we do?"

Taking a deep breath, he shook his head and said, "Should we throw them all out? But who are these people?"

The court lady smiled sweetly and said, "Your Highness, don't you remember me? I'm your close servant. I took care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation before!"

Zhou Li's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is this true?"

The maid nodded and said, "Yue'er dare not lie!"

Zhou Li laughed loudly, grabbed Yue'er's shoulder excitedly and said, "That's great, that's great!"

Yue'er's arm was very painful from Zhou Li's grasp, with a helpless face, Zhou Li let go of his hand with a dry smile and said, "Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm so happy!"

Yue'er shook her head and said, "Your Highness, hurry up and eat!"

Zhou Li nodded, forgetting that he was hungry in the momentary excitement, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Yue'er shook her head and said: "We are slaves, we will not eat until after you have finished eating, the imperial dining room will reserve it for us!"

Zhou Li looked at the lotus seed porridge, and said with a smile: "Eat this porridge, you will waste a lot of saliva later!" After stirring the sticky lotus seed porridge and sipping it lightly, Zhou Li smiled and said, "Is it delicious?"

Yue'er nodded and said: "It's very sweet!" Then she ate some more, and under Zhou Li's supervision, after Yue'er finished eating the lotus seed porridge, she asked, "What kind of temperament did the previous princes have?"

Yue'er pouted, like a mischievous elf, thinking back for a while and said: "The former prince was also very kind to us. He was heroic and talented. He never blamed us and focused on politics!" The ambiguous look in his eyes made Zhou Li smile!
Zhou Li nodded and continued to ask: "So the prince can practice martial arts?"

Yue'er shook her head and said: "Your Highness used to know how to ride horses and shoot arrows, but never practiced martial arts!" She looked at Zhou Li with a puzzled face, not understanding why she asked such a thing!
Zhou Li didn't explain either, but nodded lightly and said, "Did the previous crown prince tell you anything personal?"

Yue'er blushed and stammered, "No, no!"

Knowing that Yue'er had misunderstood, Zhou Li adjusted his tone and said, "Do you know, has the crown prince offended anyone?" After so many things, Zhou Li had to take precautions carefully. He was in the open, and they were in the dark. To avoid the enemy, you must first know yourself and the enemy!
Yue'er shook her head and said, "I haven't heard the prince say that!"

Zhou Li nodded, got up and took Yue'er to the study, and ordered: "No matter what you see, don't scream!" Yue'er nodded, and Zhou Li opened the locked door!

Yue'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, covered her mouth and said, "This is the Crown Princess!"

Zhou Li frowned and asked, "Why aren't you afraid?"

Yue'er shook her head and said, "We've heard about their deaths a long time ago. We're talking about a few corpses, there's nothing to be afraid of. There are more corpses in the palace!"

Zhou Li nodded and asked, "Just now you said that these are all princesses?"

Yue'er nodded and said: "Yes, these are all the prince's wives, but when I heard that you passed away, these princes and concubines all died for love!"

"Then let me tell you, none of them committed suicide, do you believe it?" Zhou Li asked with certainty!

Yue'er nodded and said: "I have served them for a few days, they are not the kind of short-lived people, they are very afraid of death, but someone ordered that the princess died for love, we dare not discuss it !"

Zhou Li frowned and asked, "Do you know who made the decree?"

"It should be the Holy One!" Yue'er said unsurely!
After Zhou Li closed the door, he said to Yue'er: "Don't let other people approach my study!" Let Yue'er sit on the chair, and asked: "Tell me how many brothers I have!"

Yue'er nodded, sitting a little unnaturally, she muttered: "There are six sons in the current emperor, the first prince is His Royal Highness, and the only prince under the queen's knee is you..."

From the conversation with Yue'er, Zhou Li knew a lot about the affairs in the palace. He was born of the empress, but the empress died just after he was born. The imperial doctor said that the empress died of dystocia. !But it was full of loopholes. Since the Holy One was in great grief and had no time to manage it, he asked people to bury the queen first!
After the death of the queen, some noble concubines also began to show their beauty, and began to ask the emperor to favor them. Concubine Pang, who is now the queen mother of Zhou Li, the mother of the unruly princess, has two sons and one daughter. The relationship between them is pretty good. The second prince is the Emperor Kun who I saw when I went to the court today. He has a lot of resentment towards him. Concubine Pang Guifei's second son has been running around all year round, suppressing a group of heroes, and is so domineering that he is not in the palace!
Concubine Xiao also has a son and a daughter, both of which are of orthodox blood. Zhou Li lived there for a while when he was a child, and was asked to come back because of a little dispute, but Concubine Xiao's son played with Zhou Li. very good!
Zhou Li also knew that the current mother-in-law has a little hostility towards him, and she is always tit-for-tat. Zhou Li was not good at refuting, so he could only keep a low voice and study politics seriously!

What Zhou Li couldn't believe the most was that the sons of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi were still there, and they all performed their own responsibilities and were in high positions!
