Chapter 313 The Zhao Family’s Ambition
g Concubine Zhao's expression was extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth secretly: "Do you want me to just watch A Qing being punished like this? He has never suffered such oppression and injustice since he was born... …" There was a hint of ridicule in Xiao Xuanrui's eyes: "Oppression and injustice? Are you mistaken, my concubine? Shouldn't the person who deserves to be aggrieved for being oppressed be Lady Li?"
"Rui'er, Aqing is your cousin. How can you treat outsiders instead of your own brothers?"
Concubine Zhao couldn't bear what Xiao Xuanrui said to Zhao Qinghuai. Xiao Xuanrui smiled coldly: "My son is not as perverted and cowardly as his cousin. Concubine, have you not indulged him in these years? His courage is little. He was fed by you... You shouldn't know it until now? The matter of the nine corpses of maids in the palace seems to be related to him."
"As far as I know, Zhou Tong has already mastered part of the evidence. Today's incident with Li Guiren should be a series of plans by them. If you want to step in, it will be as they want... Mother, concubine, you Are you sure, are you going to let your father disappoint you because of this idiot like my cousin?"
Concubine Zhao's eyes were full of disbelief. She looked at Xiao Xuanrui blankly. She was in a daze for a long time and didn't realize what Xiao Xuanrui had just said. She held his sleeve tightly: "What did you say? ?You said that the matter of the nine corpses has something to do with A Qing?"
Xiao Xuanrui nodded noncommittally: "Those nine corpses were probably killed by my cousin. Although he is excellent in both civil and military skills, he has a fatal weakness, that is, he is too lustful. Any woman he likes , he must get it."
"He had the courage to touch those women, whether they were palace maids or palace concubines. He thought that his murder of the palace ladies would not come to light, so he became more and more unscrupulous. This time, he actually had the courage to fight. Li Guiren’s idea... He is clearly cuckolding my father. How can my father endure such a shameful humiliation?"
"Concubine, I can guarantee that as long as you dare to plead for your cousin, my father will definitely be very disappointed with you... Concubine, I have always known that you love your cousin very much. But no matter how important he is, you will never treat him again." Do you care, can he compare with your honor, my future and my future?"
Concubine Zhao's heart suddenly became cold. She looked at Xiao Xuanrui in despair: "Could it be that we really don't care about him?"
"On the surface, we really can't control him. What he committed is not a small crime, but the crime of deceiving the emperor. If the news that he defiled the palace concubine spreads, I am afraid it will also implicate everyone in the Zhao family, and even more. Mother and I..." Xiao Xuanrui was afraid that Concubine Zhao would do something irrational for Zhao Qinghuai, so he could only persuade her with earnest words. "Not only can we not interfere in this matter, but if necessary, we have to ask our father for permission. He punished his cousin severely."
Concubine Zhao's face was extremely pale. Her eyes could not help but turn red gradually. She clutched the lapel of her clothes and showed a rare gaffe: "Aqing is the child I have grown up watching... Rui'er, you don't know, When I didn't have you at that time, it was Ah Qing who filled my loneliness in the palace."
"When I first entered the palace, your father was forced by the courtiers to make that person his queen. That period was the most difficult period for me. Ah Qing stayed with me at that time and gave me some spiritual support. .”
There was a hint of darkness in Xiao Xuanrui's eyes. He had never seen his mother-in-law lose her temper so emotionally in all his life. Zhao Qinghuai might, in a sense, be closer to her than her son? No way. It didn't take long for Eunuch Zhou to have people successfully recover Xiao Cui's body. Li Guiren held Xiao Cui's body and burst into tears. The little eunuch was also found by Eunuch Zhou and brought to the emperor... The little eunuch was frightened. Awesome, he knelt down with a pop. Zhao Qinghuai collapsed on the ground, feeling more and more uneasy. The emperor didn't talk nonsense, he looked directly at the little eunuch and said: "Tell me everything you know. If you If you don't confess and are still thinking about hiding it for someone, then don't blame me for being cruel and killing all nine of your clans..." How could the little eunuch conceal even a little bit in the face of the emperor's wrath? He offended Concubine Zhao, at most he was the one who offended her. He was unlucky, but if he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, it would be a serious crime of killing the nine tribes and affecting his family. He quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, calm down, I said, I will tell you everything I know."
From the time Zhao Qinghuai left Feiyue Palace to meeting Li Guiren, killing Xiao Cui, and then asking him to throw away the corpse and destroy all traces... his account can be said to be almost exactly the same as that of Li Guiren. The confessions of the two people were the same, and There is no possibility of collusion. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that Lady Li is innocent upon hearing this, but Zhao Qinghuai is so audacious that he does not care about the royal family or the emperor. He is lustful, robs Lady Li and taints Lady Li... Eunuch Zhou He shook his head and couldn't help but glare at Zhao Qinghuai angrily and yelled: "Master Zhao, how can you be so bold? You really don't take the emperor seriously at all."
Li Guiren pinched the handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face. She said calmly, "Eunuch Zhou, not only does he not take the emperor seriously, he also told me that the emperor is old. He is too weak to dote on the young concubines. Anyway, he is strong, so even if he takes the place of the emperor and favors some young concubines, the emperor will not blame him if he knows about it."
"He said that nowadays, Nan Chu belongs to the Zhao family. As long as his aunt is in the harem, the Zhao family can control the situation in Nan Chu."
