my father is the emperor

Chapter 28 The Concubine Arrives
Zhou Li pushed open the closed door, just in time to see several eunuchs holding long leather whips, beating the men in black viciously, Zhou Li shouted: "Stop!" He raised his panicked steps , looking at the man in black, with countless bloodstains all over his body, and the black clothes becoming shattered, Zhou Li walked up to the man in black, tore off the mask, and seeing that he didn't commit suicide by biting his tongue, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the man He took a piece of cloth and forced it into the mouth of the man in black, saying, "Watch him, don't whip him! Cut off his water and food for a day, come tomorrow!"

Wang Wei nodded, and ordered the eunuchs to look after him and not let him commit suicide. Then he went out, his face was extremely solemn, and he whispered: "Your Highness, go to rest, I will watch for you here!"

Zhou Li rubbed his temples, with an indescribably tired look on his face, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to sleep anymore, you go out!"

Wang Wei nodded, turned and left!Zhou Li was left alone to guard the empty room, sighing again and again!I sat on the stool and thought for a while, but I couldn't bear the eyelid struggle anymore, so I fell asleep!
In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Li put on his court clothes and went to the court with the court. When he left, he was ordered to watch the man in black and never let him make a mistake. Zhou Li showed unprecedented behavior towards the man in black. How many people in the world are there in the world who admire me, are not afraid of power, and are not afraid of death?
Before the court, he also talked about some troubles and famine, how to deal with it, Zhou Li had other ideas in his mind, and he didn't come forward to make a suggestion. Suggestion, Emperor Kun did a very good job and won the praise of the emperor, but Emperor Kun did not take the credit for himself, and even expressed it to Zhou Li. Zhou Li just smiled coldly. Just to please the Holy Majesty!

Back from the imperial court, Zhou Li was in a hurry. Along the way, he met a few ministers, all of whom praised the crown prince for his brilliance and sympathy. Besides Qu, Zhou Lizai didn't meet anyone. When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, he drank some tea and asked about the situation of the man in black. Wang Wei just shook his head and made no progress. This made Zhou Li feel bitter. Know where to start!

Ling'er's parents were burned to death in a strange way, and it was possible that they were killed by the men in black. County magistrate Liu got the news from somewhere and fled in fear of crime, so it can be imagined that county magistrate Liu was just a high-ranking official And this person knows Shengshang's whereabouts like the back of his hand. In this case, the emperor is like a puppet without freedom!
He took a deep breath and discussed with Wang Wei, but Wang Wei didn't know what to do. After fighting with the man in black for so many years, he had never seen the man in black speak. A little admiration, everyone is their master, but the man in black didn't say a word about who gave the instructions!

Zhou Li groped for the teacup, tossing and tossing all night, which made Zhou Li very haggard, seeing nothing pleasing to the eye, and eating some of the food that Yueer sent, and wasting the rest, and took Wang Wei into the small black room, Take a bowl of water and look at it in your hand!

Seeing the man in black with dry and cracked lips, his face paled a lot, Zhou Li said sadly, "Why bother? As long as you tell me who hurt me, I will never treat you badly, and I won't let anyone kill you." You!" Holding the water bowl, he put it near the mouth of the man in black, and the man in black closed his eyes, ignoring the water in front of him, and didn't even bother to open his eyes!

Zhou Li raised his eyes and ordered: "Open his mouth, you actually want to die of thirst and starvation!??" Seeing the mouth full of big teeth being opened, Zhou Li poured water into it, and the man in black After coughing a few times, he sealed his mouth again!

Zhou Li said: "It's easy to live, but it's also easy to die quickly!" Reaching out his hand, he took out a blank piece of paper from his cuff, and said, "As long as you write clearly on it who wants to kill me, how many people do you have?" , I can agree to your request at any time!" After putting the white paper on the table, I heard the eunuch's voice of delivering the report!Her ears moved slightly, but she heard the imperial concubine arriving!
Zhou Li said calmly: "Go, don't make a sound inside!" After Zhou Li took Wang Wei out, he quickly went up to him and shouted: "My son, please be safe to the queen!!"

Behind the noble concubine was a princess who looked like a child who made a mistake, her hair was coiled high, like a matchstick, her hand was placed in the hand of a court lady, she walked in slowly, and after sitting down, she said: "Pao'er is getting more and more courageous." Bigger!"

Zhou Li smiled slightly: "I don't understand what the mother's words mean?!"

The imperial concubine snorted and said, "How can there be a child like you, please greet the queen mother and let me come by myself!"

Only then did Zhou Li know what was going on, and he apologized and said with a smile: "I have been busy with business recently, and I just came back from court, but I haven't had time to go to my mother's place yet!"

The imperial concubine looked around and said kindly: "Forget it, I don't blame you anymore!" She pinched her nose and asked, "What kind of smell is this!"

Zhou Li was sweating profusely, pouted his nose and smelled it: "There is no smell?!" Zhou Li also smelled some rancid smell, but he couldn't say it, so he had to pretend to be confused!

The noble concubine sniffed it carefully again, shook her head and said: "This smell is too bad, where do I still have some sweet-scented osmanthus, waiting for my servants to bring it to you!"

Zhou Li laughed and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother!" He paused and said, "I don't know why Queen Mother came here?"

The noble concubine shook her head, the powder on her face was so thick that it was scary, she sighed, "I heard that yesterday you were promoted and said that you are back, the queen mother loves her son very much, so come and have a look!" Stretching out her hand, the maid supported the noble concubine and stood up body, walked to Zhou Li's side, touched Zhou Li's face, and said: "Didn't you eat outside? You've lost weight!" Clapped their hands, and then a group of servants came in with a dozen plates, and all the noble concubines came home. Jane introduced: "This is Tianshan snow lotus! It was given to me by the emperor. I think Pao'er has been overworked these days, so I should make up for it!"

Zhou Li shook his head and said: "Let the mother worry about it, the baby is fine today!"

The imperial concubine nodded, and introduced several items, ginseng, lotus seeds, etc. are really rare things, but during the introduction, the imperial concubine kept looking left and right, not knowing what she was looking for!
Zhou Li asked, "What is the queen mother looking for?"

The imperial concubine smiled coquettishly and said, "I haven't been to the Prince's Mansion for a long time, let's see if there is any change!"

Zhou Li frowned indistinctly, ordered his servants to pack up their things, and stood aside. At this time, Yue'er brought a few cups of tea, and complimented the concubine. The concubine sat on the upper seat and tasted After taking a sip of tea, he said with a smile: "Pao'er, this tea is not bad but...?" With a bang, he threw the water glass on the ground, and the tea splashed all over Yue'er, put away all the kind smiles, and said coldly: " It's just that today's mother is not here for tea!"
