After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

However, the emperor did not want his mother to continue questioning him, so in order to avoid unnecessary anger, he dumped out all his guesses about the cause and effect.

"Suspecting that she is my daughter is just a suspicion. I swear I have never touched Gu Chuanrong's wife!"

After emphasizing it again and again, he began to continue reasoning.

"But, mother, do you think there is a possibility that the child born to Xiu Hua was swapped?"

"impossible!"

The Queen Mother overturned it with a decisive blow.

"Although you were not there when Concubine Shu gave birth to Chenghua, I was always guarding outside the delivery room because I was afraid that Zheng would use tricks to kill Chu. I am sure that there was absolutely no problem when she gave birth! And Chenghua looks so much like Concubine Shu, can't you see it?"

It is precisely because Pei Jingyu looks like Chu Yuhua that no one has ever thought about it in this regard.

If he hadn't seen Chu Chi today, if the emperor hadn't had a wild imagination and instantly thought of how the eldest daughter of the Gu family could be stolen away, then the emperor wouldn't have had such a sudden thought and suspected the background of that troublesome daughter.

"But how do you explain that the daughter of Concubine Shu's sister looks like my sister?"

This is really speechless.

When something enters a logical closed loop, no one knows where the problem will arise?

The room was silent for more than ten breaths before the Queen Mother's voice was heard again.

"Emperor, if you really have doubts, just ask your subordinates to investigate. Isn't it easy to trace the answer back to the source? Isn't the old man left by Concubine Shu still with Xiaoliu and Chenghua? The Chu, Gu, and Zheng families are all there too. If you want to investigate, no one can escape."

The rosary in the emperor's hand spun faster and faster.

Of course he knew about this, but what he didn't know was whether he should investigate it.

If the truth was as he guessed, Chu Chi was the daughter born to Concubine Shu, and Chenghua was her sister's child.

Then many people involved in it cannot escape the connection, not just the Chu family and the Gu family, but also the Chu family and Concubine Chu! Regardless of whether they knew it or not, it was his Chu family that confused the royal bloodline, so they should be punished according to the law.

What about Xiaoliu?

If the Chu family is convicted for this, Concubine Shu will definitely no longer be Concubine Shu. How will Pei Changjing, the son born to the guilty concubine, who has gradually emerged, deal with it?

Chu Zhankui had been loyal all his life. He had followed him to the throne with great difficulty, and as a scholar he had risked his life for him many times. In recent years, he had fought through difficulties in the court and helped him consolidate the imperial power.

The relationship between them is not just that of a monarch and his subjects, but also that of brothers supporting each other. How can they just abandon this kindness?

The emperor couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

He was afraid to damage the jade bottle.

But what if it was true? He couldn't just leave his own daughter to wander around outside, right? Besides, there was no such thing as a wall that was impenetrable. What if some old fox in the court found out about it?

The Queen Mother could guess some of the Emperor's thoughts. Perhaps only in front of her as his mother could the Emperor temporarily let down his guard and reveal his true thoughts.

"Su'er, don't be so embarrassed."

The Queen Mother tried her best to persuade.

"Let's check it out first, and then we can make a decision after we find out. If it doesn't work, I will come forward to deal with it. This matter is a big deal if you say it's a big deal, but it's also a small matter if you say it's a small matter.

Fortunately, she is just a princess. To put it bluntly, this is a private matter of the harem, and it does not involve the political affairs of the previous dynasty. As long as the matter is cleared up on the surface, those court officials will have nothing to say! "

"Ah."

After a long time, the emperor finally hummed softly.

Ultimately, the selfishness in human nature prevailed, and as long as the foundation of the imperial power was not shaken, he was willing to take care of the woman in his heart.

He hoped that the child she gave birth to would be healthy.

The Queen Mother sighed.

I'm afraid the wind is going to blow again in this capital city.

After coming out of the palace, Minister Chu gave Lin Youan a death order to keep all the Lin family members in the Chu family temporarily, just to let Chu Chian live there peacefully and teach her the rules.

Of course, this is also a disguised form of protection. She caused such a big disaster in the palace, how could the Kangwang Mansion and the Chenghua Princess Mansion let it go? If they can't deal with those who can fight, can't they deal with those who can't fight?

Lin Youan understood the situation in his heart, so without saying a word, he took his whole family and stayed at his uncle's house.

Everyone in the Chu family was on high alert this time. After all, the emperor had already issued an oral order that Chu Chi would not be allowed to leave the house until she was taught a lesson.

Time flows freely in Chu Chi's clear and cute eyes.

It has been said before that this child listens to advice. She gets up on time every day and sits in the study, listening to her three aunts taking turns to educate her like a noble lady with all their heart and soul.

Although it was useless, it was just a formality to let the emperor know that the Chu family had really tried their best.

A month later, the emperor once again asked Minister Chu to bring Chu Chi, the troublemaker, to the palace.

Royal study room.

All the palace servants were sent away, leaving only the emperor, Minister Chu, and Big Head Chu.

The emperor sat quietly on the dragon throne, staring calmly at the child in front of him.

This child really doesn't grow up well. She doesn't look like me at all. No, no, no, that's not quite right. I should say this child really grows up well. If she didn't look like her aunt, I guess no one would ever find out the truth.

While he was frantically scrolling through the screen in his mind, he maintained a serious and indifferent look, creating a solemn atmosphere that made Minister Chu break out in a cold sweat.

What happened to your Majesty?

Have I offended him in some way recently?

How could he, an emperor, be so shameless as to come and settle accounts with my Chu family?

Don't try to guess what the emperor is thinking. It's impossible for you to guess it anyway. The emperor was very satisfied with Chu Zhankui's obvious fear.

He turned his eyes again, carefully tracing her outline with his eyes. This child who suddenly appeared was actually his daughter.

Her eyebrows and eyes are a little bit like her mother's, and her round eyes are very cute, but the twinkling stars in her eyes are much happier than her mother's in her youth.

Yes, the emperor knew that Concubine Shu was never happy.

She married into the Qin Palace with grievances and shared her husband with many other women. How could she be happy? In fact, he himself was not happy either. Since his mother and sister were banished to the cold palace when he was five years old, he basically never had unbridled joy again.

When he was young, he fought hard for his brothers' affection. When he grew up, he fought for power at the risk of his life. He was an emperor, but every step he took over the past few decades was extremely difficult.

How could he be happy?

But now he and her child looked very happy. These carefree eyes made the emperor feel a little better unexpectedly.

Chu Daidai stared into the emperor's eyes. Although he knew that this was impolite, he did not blame Pei Xiaoliu's father because he had said so.

And he was glaring at me. He was glaring at me! The strange desire to win that the zombies had in their bones came out again.

impossible!

In this track, you, Master Chu, are incredibly strong and have never lost!
