"In this case, don't let King Zhao's people say that the dead child was a bastard again."
"The files will not lie, but it is an indisputable fact that King Zhao was controlled by love poison and charm. He dared to almost strangle Luo Jiuli to death in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in front of the civil and military officials and the emperor, and even injured him.
The Duke’s wife is full of filthy words, I’m afraid no one will believe what he says.”
Concubine Hu clutched the veil tightly and said unwillingly.
"Then, if that child is really not King Zhao's, wouldn't we--"
The Queen Mother turned around and glared at her.
"So what? Everyone is dead, it doesn't matter whether they are or not."
"If you want everyone to change their attitude towards King Zhao, the dead child would be a good move."
——
Two days later.
Luo Jiuli did not expect that before, King Zhao kept calling the dead child a bastard, but suddenly changed his attitude without warning and admitted that the child was his child.
Luo Jiuli couldn't be said to be sad or happy, but there was always a ball of anger burning in his heart.
"What's going on? What does that dog man mean?"
She had already sent the housekeeper out to investigate. She knew that Xiao Zhumo was a person who had no profit and could not afford to get up early. There must be something going on here.
"Don't worry, miss. If we find out any information, the housekeeper will definitely return to the house immediately to report it."
Chun Rong refilled her cup with hot tea and whispered comforting words.
After a while, a maid ran in outside the house.
"Miss, the housekeeper is back, and he brought someone with him?"
"Bring someone home? Who is it?"
The maid shook her head.
"I don't know you, slave."
Luo Jiuli stood up.
"Let them in quickly."
The person the housekeeper brings into the house must be someone he is familiar with.
"yes."
The maid ran out and led the housekeeper and the people behind him into the house.
"Qin Yin?"
"Second Miss."
Qin Yin stepped forward and saluted.
Luo Jiuli pointed at the housekeeper and then at Qin Yin.
"How did you two meet?"
"My subordinate met the butler on the street who was looking for information, so he followed the butler into the house."
Luo Jiuli darkened his eyes when he heard Qin Yin talk about asking for information.
"Did the prince also hear anything?"
Qin Yin nodded.
"Early this morning, there were rumors on the streets that King Zhao deliberately set up a trap when he married Yan Tinglian, the fine workman. However, he didn't expect that Yan Tinglian actually studied under the spirit snake Gu girl, and not only learned the art of bewitching
And poison, she even learned the art of yin and yang. King Zhao was careless and fell into her trap."
"It is also said that in order to arrest and bring to justice all the spies behind Yan Tinglian, King Zhao reluctantly risked his own future and the life of his unborn child, and for the Three Laws Division, he destroyed most of the remnant gangsters installed by Sang Nan Kingdom in the capital.
Delayed the time——"
"I bother!"
Luo Jiuli really couldn't listen anymore, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
"People are shameless and invincible. That Xiao Zhumo is so shameless and shameless."
"Disgusting, absolutely disgusting."
The housekeeper also gritted his teeth and wished he could scold King Zhao, but due to his status, he really didn't have the courage.
Qin Yin, on the other hand, listened to Luo Jiuli's curses with an expressionless face.
"Second Miss, Your Majesty was afraid that Second Miss would be furious after hearing the news, so he specially asked his subordinates to come and take Second Miss out of the house."
Luo Jiuli suppressed his anger, waved his hand and said without asking where he was going.
"I'll go change clothes and you wait outside the hospital."
"yes."
Qin Yin breathed a sigh of relief and followed the housekeeper out of the house.
It wasn't until he got on the carriage that Luo Jiuli remembered to ask Qin Yin.
"Where are we going?"
Qin Yin walked on the side of the carriage.
"Tianxiang Tower."
Luo Jiuli pressed the Fengchi point, which can relieve emotions.
After getting off the carriage and entering Tianxiang Tower, the anger on Luo Jiuli's face had faded away.
It’s still the same shopkeeper, it’s still the third floor, it’s still ‘Lanyaxuan’.
Luo Jiuli pushed the door open and saw Xiao Mingxuan making tea.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Mingxuan raised his head and waved to Luo Jiuli.
"Li'er, come here and try the tea I made for you myself."
At the door, the shopkeeper didn't even raise his eyelids. When Luo Jiuli entered the private room, he closed the door with both hands.
Qin Yin stood at the door with his sword drawn.
Outside Tianxiang Tower, Qin Wu was hiding in the dark, motionless.
Luo Jiuli walked over, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"The tea made by Your Majesty is so fragrant."
Xiao Mingxuan smiled and said:
"I put a few yellow chrysanthemums in Junshan Silver Needle. I heard it can clear the liver and improve eyesight, soothe the mind and strengthen the spleen."
Luo Jiuli put the tea cup on the table.
"Your Majesty knew I was angry, so he made me chrysanthemum tea?"
Xiao Mingxuan stood up, walked to her, and put his hand between her eyebrows.
"It's not worth it for that kind of person."
"Besides, this matter is beyond the imagination of King Zhao."
Luo Jiuli was startled.
"So, there is someone behind King Zhao."
"Is it the Queen Mother? This news was only spread after the Queen Mother returned to Beijing?"
"clever."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded, sat down next to her, reached out and pinched her fingers.
Luo Jiuli was puzzled.
"But the reconciliation between King Zhao and me has been going on for so long. There was a turmoil in the city and Yan Tinglian died. What does the Queen Mother mean by making such a fuss?"
"The emperor will definitely not believe it, and the courtiers will definitely not believe it. What is the Queen Mother's purpose?"
Xiao Mingxuan curled his lips and sneered.
"Public opinion, no matter whether it is true or false, right or wrong, the people will follow what others say."
"What's more, everyone has a sympathy for the weak. When a person reluctantly risks his own future and the life of his unborn child for the benefit of his family and country, anyone will be moved when he hears this."
"What's more, Prince Zhao is the emperor's son after all. The emperor has few heirs to begin with, and even fewer adult heirs. Although he made this big mistake, in the final analysis, it was because of him that Yan Tinglian and those meticulous gangsters were wiped out."
"Moreover, among the four adult princes, Xiao Zhumo is the only one with military merit and the only one who has been on the battlefield."
"This is the genius of the Queen Mother and Grand Sima. A prince who has been on the battlefield and has military exploits can indeed cover up many of his own shortcomings."
"For example, King Zhao's arrogance, his arrogance, and his coveting of beauty and lack of willpower."
"However, these shortcomings have been covered up by military achievements."
Listening to his analysis, Luo Jiuli always felt that this statement was somewhat contradictory, but he couldn't figure out where the contradiction was at the moment, so he had to express his doubts first.
"So, when the Queen Mother spreads the news, is it an act of desperation, a drain on the fire, or is it a litmus test to see the reactions of all parties?"
"As for who believes it? Who doesn't believe it? It depends on everyone. A benevolent person sees benevolence and a wise person sees wisdom."
Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, feeling that what she said had some profound meaning.
"go on."
The author has something to say: I attended the ceremony today and the update is late, so I will add another chapter for my dear readers.
