Quick Wear: Crazy Criticism of Villains Asking for Stickers
Chapter 214 The Young Master is Too Romantic 16
Li Shu stood in front of the gate of Prince Huai's mansion, wearing silver armor, holding a long sword, with her hair tied up high. Behind her were the imperial guards who looked cold.
Seeing Zhao Ying coming out, he moved his wrist slightly, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his tone was cold: "Capture the traitor Zhao Ying!"
Zhao Ying did not resist, knowing that the situation was hopeless, and said calmly:
"Can I see my mother? By the way, the princess and you are good friends. The princess is very well behaved and lovely, and she also likes you as her aunt. They don't know anything, so I hope the queen will show some mercy."
Li Shu put the sword in her hand on his neck. Zhao Jue was unconscious in the palace and his life was in danger. The secret guards found out that it was Concubine Qi, and the eunuch beside Concubine Qi sneaked to Prince Huai's Mansion. Everyone would suspect that the real culprit behind the scenes was Zhao Ying!
Thinking of this, Li Shu wished she could kill the person in front of her directly!
"Empress, the Emperor has sent me here to tell you that the truth is not yet clear. We will wait until His Majesty wakes up before we discuss anything. Please... stop."
Li Shu moved the sword that was pressing on Zhao Ying's neck and cut off a few strands of the old eunuch's hair with her backhand: "Remember who your master is!"
"Someone, take Zhao Ying to the Sky Prison!" Li Shu turned around and mounted her horse. She didn't stay any longer because she had to go back to the palace to guard Zhao Jue.
The real murderer has been arrested, but the jurisdiction of Bianliang City remains strict. Before Zhao Jue wakes up, Li Shu must control all potential dangers.
The day Li Qing returned to Bianliang, Zhao Jue had not woken up yet.
"Qing'er!"
When she saw her brother, Li Shu's emotions, which had been tense for many days, finally broke down and she threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
These days, she was on high alert and did not dare to relax. Inside the palace, she had to guard Zhao Jue day and night, and comfort the frightened Li Xiao, and could not show any sign of fatigue.
Now that she saw her brother, she dared to cry loudly.
Li Qing put his arm around her shoulders and patted them gently. Li Shu was much thinner than before: "Sister, don't be afraid, I'm back. Ah Shui is the best at poisons and will definitely be able to help the emperor get rid of the poison."
Hearing this, Li Shu stopped crying and looked behind him: "Where is Ah Shui?"
Li Qing coughed, and A Shui poked his head out from behind a large vase in the corner. He was used to being a secret guard and liked to stay in shady places. The emperor's bedroom was full of secret guards, and he only found this place to hide.
Li Qing covered his face in embarrassment. He really didn't want to admit that he knew this fool.
Although A Shui is a little stupid, he is a first-rate detoxification expert. All the doctors in Bianliang City believed that the poison in His Majesty's body was uncurable, but when it came to him, all the toxins in Zhao Jue's body were forced out in just two days.
On the third day after Li Qing came back, Zhao Jue woke up slowly. Li Xiao lay on the bed and cried loudly: "Waaaaa... Father..."
Zhao Jue, who had just opened his eyes and couldn't see clearly, muttered in a low voice: "My son's cry is so ugly, where is the King of Hell? Change my son to cry..."
Li Shu wanted to raise her hand and knock on his head, but was afraid of hurting him, so she could only pinch his face: "What nonsense are you talking about!? Don't say such unlucky words!"
Zhao Jue was completely awakened by his wife's voice. He looked at the excited and happy people around him and confirmed one thing. He complained in a weak tone:
"So I'm not dead, Xiao'er, calm down. This noise really sounds like my father has died."
Li Xiao climbed onto the bed with tears and snot, hugged his neck and continued crying.
Zhao Jue: “…” What are you all doing standing there? Can you please pull him away? His snot is all over my neck.
"Xiao'er, I need to rest."
"Okay... wuwuwu..." Li Xiao held back his tears and successfully created a snot bubble that stuck to the corner of his father's mouth.
Zhao Jue: “!!!” He also wanted to cry, but his father was not dead yet, so it was not the time to cry.
The Emperor: “…” You are so filial!
The emperor stayed in his bedroom for another two days before going out to meet with his court officials. The imperial guards were withdrawn, and everything in Bianliang city returned to normal.
Zhao Jue found out the truth about the poisoning. It was a conspiracy between Concubine Qi and her father and brother from her natal family, and Zhao Ying was kept in the dark the whole time.
Concubine Qi was willing to plead guilty to murdering the emperor, and after bidding farewell to her son, she committed suicide in prison.
Zhao Jue was not a ruthless emperor. He did not like to exterminate a family's entire clan. He only killed those who participated in the conspiracy and exiled the rest.
As for Zhao Ying who was still imprisoned, he had never had any intention of harming the emperor. He was simply raising private soldiers in his fiefdom with the intention of rebellion. He also wanted to become the emperor and then make his elder brother a leisurely prince.
On the other hand, the retired emperor kept pleading with the emperor not to kill all his brothers. Alas, this was a difficult matter to handle.
Zhao Jue thought for a while and decided to go to the prison to see his second brother first before making any plans.
Li Qing followed Zhao Jue and entered the Heavenly Prison together.
He was very curious about the reason why Zhao Ying wanted to rebel. He clearly had no ill will towards Zhao Jue, but he was eager to ascend the throne. He was a very contradictory person.
When the two of them arrived, Zhao Ying was sitting in the cell with lifeless eyes, holding Concubine Qi's handkerchief in his hand.
From childhood to adulthood, he had been implicated by his mother many times. For example, he accidentally drank the abortion drug that his mother gave to other concubines, causing him to fall ill for half a month.
Another example is when my mother was fighting with another concubine and wanted to trip her into the water, but she accidentally pushed her into the water and she almost choked her to death...
But even so, Zhao Ying still found it difficult to accept the death of his mother...
"Why are you obsessed with becoming the emperor?" After hearing Li Qing's question, Zhao Ying came back to his senses and looked at him: "Being the emperor means money."
Li Qing: “…” The Zhao family is destined to be controlled by money throughout their lives!
"Is it possible... Being a prince also means you have money, and your fiefdom is quite prosperous." According to the laws of the Dayun Dynasty, Zhao Ying only needs to pay 70% of the taxes every year, and he can keep the rest for spending.
Zhao Ying obviously misunderstood Li Qing's meaning, thinking that he wanted her to do something bad. After hearing this, he frowned and said seriously:
“Even if that is my fiefdom, I cannot oppress the people, increase taxes, and take advantage of the opportunity to make money. I am a person who has received an orthodox royal education. How can I do such a thing!?
I am a prince, not a gangster. I have my own integrity. You can doubt my character, but you cannot slander the iron-blooded education of my Zhao family. The ancestral precepts cannot be violated!"
Zhao Jue rolled his eyes helplessly. Is this the point? Can you guys discuss something important?
Zhao Jue discussed with Zhao Ying for an hour whether he was dead or alive, or half-dead. The final conclusion was: It is better to live a miserable life than to die!
Half a month later, Zhao Ying moved to his father-in-law's house with his wife and daughter. He was no longer a prince, and his fiefdom and private soldiers were taken back. He became a son-in-law of the Xu family.
At this moment, Zhao Ying was extremely grateful that he had no concubines and did not have to be responsible for so many women. He only had to take care of his wife and daughter for the rest of his life.
