The Second Marrying Beauty: The Concubine, the Concubine and the Black Emperor

Chapter 291 Concubine Cao’s Means (2)

"My concubine, what is this?"

Concubine Cao gently pointed at the side: "Your Majesty, look, does this round thing next to it look like a bean?"

King Qi Shi looked at the place Cao Guifei was pointing at, perhaps due to the effect of alcohol, there were red bloodshot eyes on the whites of his eyes.

Concubine Cao was secretly proud, and when the emperor became suspicious, half of her goal was achieved.

"My concubine, where did you get this?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine is always a woman, and the concubine should not have interfered with the official business. The concubine should not have interfered when the chief guard got this thing, but the emperor has been upset about the matter of going to Dazhou for the past few days. The concubine is afraid that the emperor will get angry, so she guards this cloth temporarily, and now dares to give it to you, the emperor, you will not blame the concubine, will you?"

"No, no, my concubine loves me so much, how can I not understand, concubine Ai, tell me quickly, what is this thing and how did I get it."

"Your Majesty, I'd better ask the head of the bodyguard personally, and pass it on to the head of the bodyguard."

A middle-aged guard unloaded his knife at the door and strode in and knelt down on one knee: "I greet the emperor and my empress. All blessings to the emperor and thousands of blessings to the empress."

"You don't need to be too polite, Liu Shiwei. Now you can clearly explain to the emperor how this piece of cloth came about, and you are not allowed to hide anything."

"My minister obeys."

No one knew that Liu Shiwei's thick armor was half soaked. Hearing the voice of Concubine Cao, Liu Shiwei felt as if he was dying on the battlefield.

"Qi Zou Emperor, Lord Lu and his party visited the prisoner's place before they set off. That night, Lord Lu called the people watching in the room for questioning, and they were released around three o'clock. All the prisoners were detained by Lu. My lord asked questions one by one, so the inspectors that night were not arranged by the emperor."

No matter how old and ignorant Qi Shiwang was, he knew the meaning of these words, which alluded to something he was least willing to hear.

Concubine Cao could see that his expression had become unkind, so she signaled Liu Siwei behind her back to continue talking.

Liu Shiwei got the hint and continued: "Then when the inspectors left, the subordinates felt that there was something wrong, so they sent someone in to check, and found that the girl was bleeding profusely, and the other girl only had a little spot on her finger. Blood stains, feeling weird, sent someone to catch the new inspector, and found this piece of cloth."
