my father is the emperor

Chapter 29
Zhou Li tightened his expression, motioned Yue'er who was kneeling on the ground to back down, and asked without saying a word, "Queen, why are you so angry?"

The imperial concubine didn't speak, but let the princess standing behind stand up!The princess looked miserable, and said: "Mother, it's actually not as exaggerated as you think!"

Zhou Li frowned and asked, "Prince sister, what are you talking about?"

The princess shook her head and said, "I was drinking here the day before yesterday..."

Zhou Li suddenly laughed and said: "Is this what the queen mother is for?" He said sincerely: "Those water wines are all high-quality wines, which have the effect of nourishing and beautifying the skin. Drinking some will not hurt!" Seeing the face of the noble concubine, Zhou Li had no choice but to shut his mouth and not speak when he saw that the face of the noble concubine was still gloomy as if he was furious!
The imperial concubine's face turned blue with anger, she pointed at Zhou Li tremblingly and said, "My dear son, why are you so shameless? Isn't this corrupting Chao Gang! This is a sin, I don't know what it means!"

Zhou Li admitted that he should not let the princess drink too much wine, but he was not as outrageous as the imperial concubine said, and asked in a deep voice: "Mother, you are serious, just drinking some water and wine, it did not damage my big Zhou. Gang Chang!"

The imperial concubine snorted, and said in a panic: "Okay, okay, then let me ask you, what did you do after drinking?"

Zhou Li thought for a while, and said clearly: "After drinking the wine that day, the princess fell asleep, and I fell asleep after drinking some, and then..." Zhou Li's expression suddenly changed. Ugly!

The noble concubine sneered and said: "Why, why don't you say it? She is the dignified princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you are also the proud son of my Great Zhou Dynasty. It is not unreasonable for brothers and sisters to do such scandalous things. Damage my Dazhou morality, corrupt the rules?!"

Zhou Li couldn't speak, and said with a wry smile: "But, mother, you misunderstood!" Looking at the princess, he said plausibly: "That day, we were all very drunk, and we didn't know what happened, but my son dared to take it. I guarantee my life, there is no intercourse with the imperial sister!" Staring at the silent princess, he asked, "Princess, may I ask how you told the queen mother?"

The princess took a careful look at the noble concubine, then pinched the corner of her clothes, and said in a low voice: "I said, we drank too much at night, slept together, and got a lot of blood the next day!"

A black line appeared on Zhou Li's face, and he said, "But nothing happened to us last night, why are you bleeding?"

The princess shook her head and said, "I know we're fine, but it's just bleeding?! How do I know that!"

Zhou Li shook his head and said, "Queen Mother, please check clearly that nothing happened to us!"

The imperial concubine snorted and said, "I didn't do anything, how could there be blood?"

Zhou Li pondered for a while, and said, "Maybe it is the normal physiological reaction of the imperial sister?" Looking at the princess, she is not very old, so it is inevitable that such a thing will happen at this time!

The noble concubine thought for a while, called the princess and whispered a few words, the princess just nodded lightly, stood aside, the noble concubine smiled and said: "So that's the case, it's because the empress wronged you!"

Zhou Li nodded and said, "Yes, thank you, Empress, who knows everything!"

The imperial concubine shook her head and said, "Oh, I'm old, I forget everything, but fortunately you remind me, otherwise I will make another mistake!" "

Zhou Li smiled, and said: "The queen mother does not look old, she has a flower-like appearance, and she is as beautiful as a fairy, and the longer she lives, the younger she is!"

The imperial concubine laughed and scolded: "After going out for a few days, I learned a lot by flirting with others." Suddenly she sighed and said: "Oh, the younger I live, the younger I am, what have I become? When I get old, everything starts to be confused!"

Zhou Li just smiled and asked, "Mother, have you eaten yet?"

The imperial concubine shook her head and said: "Recently, many things have happened in the palace, I have to deal with them, and it's time to go back now!" Staring at Zhou Li, she said: "Just don't cause trouble for me in the future!"

Zhou Li nodded and said: "Yes, I know!" Seeing the imperial concubine standing up, Zhou Li greeted him respectfully, "Send off the empress respectfully."

Zhou Li sat down after watching the concubine leave, and murmured: "What is she doing here today? She should know more about this kind of woman than I do. Why are you blaming me?" Zhou Liyue The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't figure it out. I didn't understand what the imperial concubine was looking for in the room. I looked around and found nothing unusual. Looking at Wang Wei, I asked, "Tell me, what is the imperial concubine's purpose here?"

Wang Wei thought for a while and said, "The imperial concubine seems to have her back this time. Could he be the mastermind of the man in black?"

Zhou Li frowned and thought for a while, "It's not like, if she were the mastermind, she wouldn't be so calm and composed. She seems to know something!"

Taking a deep breath, the smell of corrosion was very strong, and he frowned and said, "By the way, do you know how many princesses I used to have?"

Wang Wei thought for a while and said: "I used to do odd jobs at the emperor's side, and I have heard about His Highness's affairs for a long time. At that time, because you were busy with government affairs, the Holy Majesty specially found a few marriages for you, and asked you to go out and hang out when you have time. , but while hunting, news of you suddenly came, saying that you had passed away! At that time, the Holy Majesty said that all the seven princesses died in love!"

"Seven?" Zhou Li repeated and said, "Is there only seven people?"

Wang Wei nodded and said: "It is indeed seven. At that time, the Holy Majesty asked that when the prince's body was found, they should be buried together!"

Zhou Li nodded and said, "Come with me!" After speaking, he opened the study, and Wang Wei pinched his nose and said, "Why are they here?"

Zhou Li nodded and said: "When I came, they hanged themselves, go and see if they hanged themselves!"

Wang Wei knelt down and looked at a crown princess. There was indeed a red mark on her neck, but it was not suicide. He shook his head and said, "They didn't commit suicide, they were killed by poison!"

"Poison killing?" Zhou Li frowned even more, and asked softly: "You said there were seven princesses, but you see that there are eight of these corpses. How do you look at it?"

Wang Wei counted, there were really eight corpses, and each looked at the face of the Crown Princess, some of them were blurred, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, one of the eight corpses should be the person who poisoned himself. And destroy the evidence!"

Zhou Li nodded. The current situation is getting more and more troublesome. He asked, "Do you know what kind of poison this is?"

Wang Wei shook his head and said, "I don't know, it should be a unique and secret poison!"

Zhou Li nodded, and said: "Go and check the household department to see if any maids in the past month have disappeared for no reason! Or died strangely!" Wang Wei responded, and Zhou Li ordered: "Remember, don't leak it. I let you check!"

Wang Wei nodded and said: "The villain knows!" After finishing speaking, he withdrew!

After Zhou Li closed the door of the study room, he looked left and right before returning to his seat, knocking on the table, and meditating!
