It was night and it rained heavily.

Tang Jian's people went to the place where the assassin was imprisoned, and after identifying it, they saw an incredible scene.

"How could this happen?" Tang Jue sat upright and looked at the man in black, "Isn't he dead? I saw it with my own eyes."

"Master, he is right, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes."

Tang Jue waved his hand, "You go ahead and change your clothes so as not to attract other people's attention. Call Mr. He in by the way."

"yes!"

Tang Jian thought he was secretive, but he didn't know that everything was under the control of Emperor Chengde.

Emperor Chengde turned his gaze from the guard to Tang Xian, "Did you already know it was your fifth brother?"

"Father, it doesn't matter whether I know it or not. What's important is that you know."

Emperor Chengde waved his hand and asked the guards to go down. Only Lu Dahai and Tang Xian were in the tent.

Lu Dahai looked at it and retreated quietly.

"How much do you and Jiujiu know?" Emperor Chengde looked at his son and gradually escaped from his control.

"Father, it depends on what you want to know?"

"Lao Qi, can't we, father and son, talk to each other properly without going around like this?" Emperor Chengde said earnestly.

"Father, the facts are before your eyes. If you ask me to tell you, then please ask your father to catch the murderer who poisoned my mother and concubine."

"Now that the facts are in front of you, you can call Wang Zhang Chengzhong to ask whether my mother-in-law was poisoned or died of illness, and what involvement Concubine Li had in this."

Tang Xian knelt on the ground, "Father, please investigate what happened back then and give my mother and concubine justice."

"Lao Qi, do you have to be here?" Emperor Chengde looked at him solemnly.

"Father, I know your concerns, but I don't want to wait for a day, an hour or a quarter. I have been waiting for so many years. I have long since found the doctor Hu who treated my mother and concubine, just to get evidence.

, I have been waiting and waiting, but now I really don’t want to wait anymore.”

Emperor Chengde felt a kind of oppression, which came from the son he had always protected.

"Father, don't you want to avenge my mother?"

"Or is it that your so-called special favor and so-called love are just to strengthen the Lu family and show it to the Lu family?"

"Shut up!" Emperor Chengde was furious. This was the first time he said harsh words to Tang Xian, "I don't allow anyone to question my love for your mother and concubine."

"But Father, what I see now is that you are hesitating and weighing the pros and cons."

Emperor Chengde felt unhappy when he saw the anger and resentment in Tang Xian's eyes, "Old Qi, if you sit in this position, you will know why I did what I did."

"Father, if this is the case, then I may not know about it for the rest of my life. I have no interest in your position." Tang Xian said.

"Now I just want my father to give my mother and concubine justice."

Lu Dahai stood outside the tent. The rain was very loud, but he could vaguely hear some of the conversations inside. The father and son were arguing so much that he was really worried for Tang Xian and for Emperor Chengde.

protest against an injustice.

The emperor has nothing to say to the seventh prince's mother and concubine.

"Is it because of the tweets?" Emperor Chengde looked at Tang Xian coldly, "I know that child is a girl who wants to be liked and loved by others."

"Father, it's none of Jiu Jiu's business. She's still so young, and it's not what you said." Tang Xian denied.

"I'm not talking about this now. I just want to ask my father, is it time to avenge my mother and concubine? Yes or no?"

Emperor Chengde looked at the energetic young man and found that no one had ever dared to speak to him like this in the twenty years since he succeeded to the throne.

He had also had this happen once before. That time he told his father that he wanted to make the daughter of the Lu family his queen, but his father vetoed it.

He also faced off against his father in this way.

"Lu Dahai, go and ask Concubine Li and the fifth prince to come over."

"yes!"

It was difficult to walk on a rainy night, so Concubine Li complained a little, "Lu Dahai, what did the emperor ask us, mother and son, to do at this late hour?"

"Jian'er's body hasn't recovered yet, but she can't be exposed to the rain."

Lu Dahai knew everything, but he was able to keep his face straight, "Concubine Li, I don't even know. You will know when you meet the emperor later. Fifth prince, be careful."

There was a thunderstorm outside, but inside the imperial tent, the lights were brightly lit.

Li Fei and Tang Jian felt nervous when they saw the assassin who had slipped through the tent.

"Your Majesty, what...what's going on?" Concubine Li was the first to speak. She looked at Dr. Zhang who was kneeling on the ground and shivering, and secretly screamed something bad.

Emperor Chengde took a deep breath and said, "Concubine Li, Lao Wu, I will give you a chance. You can speak for yourself."

"Father, I don't understand, what do you want me to say?"

"Just tell me what happened to this assassin?" Emperor Chengde asked.

"I don't know, my father, does he suspect that the assassin is one of mine?"

"Your Majesty, you have unjustly accused Ji'er of death. How could he do such a thing? That is treason." Li Fei said nervously.

"I didn't say it was Lao Wu, but someone saw that a man in black had just entered Jian'er's tent. It happened that the man in black went to the place where the prisoners were detained. Isn't it a coincidence?"

Tang Jian frowned, it was indeed a trap.

"Father..."

"Why, you still want to deny it?"

"Your Majesty, could you have seen it wrong? Also..."

"Concubine Li! How many years have you been in the palace?"

"Ten...fifteen years." Concubine Li looked at Emperor Chengde nervously, "Your Majesty, why do you ask about this?"

"Concubine Li, I didn't know you were a master of poison!"

Concubine Li glanced at Dr. Zhang and said, "Your Majesty, where can I know how to use poison?"

"You have really wronged my concubine."

"Zhang Chengzhong has already confessed that you prepared the antidote." Emperor Chengde said expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty... I am a concubine... I am a little knowledgeable, but I have never harmed anyone..."

"Isn't it harmful?"

Emperor Chengde sighed, "Oh, I thought that because of our friendship for so many years, you gave birth to a prince for me, and I wanted to take you out for the last time, but you, you have failed me.

I have good intentions, but I have to take action at this time."

"Your Majesty! I have been wronged!"

"Concubine Li, I will never wrong anyone!" Emperor Chengde clapped his hands, and the maids beside Concubine Li were also brought over.

"And Dr. Hu, who treated Lao Qi's biological mother back then, is now in Beijing."

Tang Xian was surprised, his father actually knew?

Did he always know?

"I have also found all the people you served before entering the palace. Do you still want to deny it?"

"Your Majesty...concubine..."

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes and said, "Concubine Li, I noticed something was wrong as early as after Xian'er was born, and then I found out about you."

"You... knew about it early on?"

"Yes, I have known about it for a long time, and you have cultivated a good son. Do you think I will let such a cruel person inherit the throne?"

Third update, see you tomorrow, I will update more when I have time.
