don't take me for fun

After explaining the matter, Li San accompanied Li Lingjiu back to Yulin Palace.

Li Lingjiu's emotions slowly recovered, and Li San couldn't bear to leave at this time, so he could only look at him.

The room was very quiet, and the maids retreated out tactfully, leaving only two people.

Li Lingjiu was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Do you know everything?"

Li San was taken aback, the situation was urgent at that time, and he arranged the affairs of Concubine Zhao without much thought, forgetting that he should not have known about this matter.

So, is Li Lingjiu going to settle the score?

"Well, I know." Li San nodded, as if he was sure that Li Lingjiu would not blame him.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Lingjiu raised her head and asked Li San with red eyes.

"I just found out not too long ago." Li San sighed, "I don't know how to tell you, Zhao Guifei cried and begged me, I can only help her hide it. There are so many women in the harem, one more concubine or one less Concubines are no different to you, but to them, this is their life. You can bring whoever you like into the palace, but they cannot be with the person they love."

"Are you blaming me?"

"No, I'm telling the truth. I've been thinking about what to do so that you won't be sad, and Concubine Zhao Gui and the others can be consummated, but I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly." Li San lamented, who knew that Li Lingjiu would be defeated so quickly? It was discovered that it also led to the death of Concubine Zhao Gui.

"You have been caring about the affairs of the harem a few days ago, just for the sake of Concubine Zhao?" So, Li San didn't intervene in the harem because he cared about himself, but for the sake of Concubine Zhao. Li Lingjiu was a little disappointed by this realization.

"Well, I wanted to help her, but it's a pity that this was the result." Li San didn't realize Li Lingjiu's concern, and answered honestly.

"You have deceived the king, I want to put you in prison."

Li San was stunned again, never thinking that Li Lingjiu would have such an idea.He hurriedly looked up and found that there was no anger concealed by deception in his eyes, only a little disappointed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"All eighteen kinds of torture were used." Li Lingjiu added.

"Aren't there only ten kinds?"

"I do not know."

"..."

Li Lingjiu said casually, he just wanted to have someone to talk to now, and he didn't want to be alone to keep recalling how Concubine Zhao was bleeding.

"How did you find out that Concubine Zhao was pregnant?" Li San didn't think that Li Lingjiu would be able to see such a thing when he went to visit the doctor.Li Lingjiu's attitude towards the concubines in the palace is very clear to him. The love for anyone is based on idleness and fun. Once something really happens, he will not miss the old love.Such a person would not really care about the concubine's health at all.Regarding Concubine Zhao's matter before, he was just in case, but...

Li Lingjiu shook her head and replied, "I didn't find out, it was Ling Mei who told me."

Ling Meiren?Last night, it seemed that Ling Meiren should be attending the bed.Li San remembered the man in black that night, and it turned out that it was sent by Ling Meiren.Ling Meiren and Yan Meiren have a good relationship. Ever since Yan Meiren left, Li San rarely saw Ling Meiren.When Yan Meiren was in the palace, she had a lot of conflicts with Concubine Zhao. If she said it was to help Yan Meiren vent her anger, it would make sense.

However, it was indeed her fault that Concubine Zhao had an affair with others behind the emperor's back. Ling Meiren reported the facts to the emperor, which is what she should have done, and she cannot be blamed.It's only good luck to make people fool, Zhao Guifei's fate should be like this.It's just that this Concubine Zhao is dead, what about Brother Lian that Concubine Zhao was talking about?

Li San saw the man's face clearly that night, but he didn't know his real identity. There were so many forbidden soldiers in the palace, how could he find him in a short while.

Li San thought for a while and asked, "Did Ling Mei tell you who that man is?"

Li Lingjiu shook her head, "She didn't say, she probably didn't know, and I forgot to ask. Do you know?"

"I only know that he works in the palace and is a royal guard, but I don't know his name." Li San recalled the man's appearance and said, "If he is in front of me, I can recognize him."

"Oh." Li Lingjiu didn't care much, now that Concubine Zhao Gui is dead, he doesn't want to pursue anything further.

The room fell silent.

Li San thought about that person, and suddenly realized a major problem: "At that time, only you and Concubine Zhao were in the room, no matter what you said to Concubine Zhao that caused Concubine Zhao's death, that person would definitely think that you killed her."

"I haven't killed anyone, I have to do it myself if I want to die!" Li Lingjiu argued.

"I know, but that person doesn't know. If the one you love dies, even the calmest person will lose his mind." Li San felt terrible when he thought about it. There was a scorpion buried beside him, "We must find out as soon as possible. who's that person."

Li Lingjiu sneered and said, "Who is my opponent in this palace?"

"It's easy to hide with a sharp spear, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow. What's scary is that you don't know who that person is. No matter how good your martial arts are, can you stop someone from using medicine to assassinate you?" Li Lingjiu didn't care, but Li San couldn't help it. He couldn't imagine what would happen if Li Lingjiu What will happen if you die, what should you do, "Who is in charge of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace? I will handle this matter, I have seen that person."

While Li San was speaking, Li Lingjiu kept staring at him, and the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened.

Li San was horrified by this stare, "What are you doing?"

"You... don't want me to have an accident?" The eyebrows raised during the question.

"Of course, you are the emperor of Jinyu. If you die, the entire court and even the country will be unstable?" Li San said it as a matter of course.

"Is this because of this?"

Li San was a little embarrassed as if being exposed, "You...you...you take such good care of me, of course I don't want you to die. What if something happens to you, what should I do?"

"Oh... so you don't like me? Hey, what a pity..." Li Lingjiu sighed regretfully.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li San couldn't help but blush even though he knew he was being tricked, "I...I'll go find the leader of the Imperial Forest Army first."

After finishing speaking, Li San hurried out of the room, and if he stayed any longer, he might be molested again.

Knowing that the empress needed to find the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, Xiao Quanzi immediately sent him over.

Li San remembered that the man was slightly taller than himself, had deep eye sockets, and was handsome, but he couldn't describe it in detail, so he could only give information that there might be a hyphen in his name.

The leader of the Imperial Forest Army was quick to do things, and within an hour and a half he brought all the people with hyphens in their names.Li San looked at these people, but none of them were from that night, so he could only ask if there was something missing, or if someone was out or something.But there are so many soldiers in the imperial forest, and it is impossible for the leader to know everyone, so he can only call the little instructors of his subordinates to ask.

Until the evening, finally a message came.There is a man named Zhou Lian in the Imperial Forest Army. Ben was patrolling with other soldiers today. On the way, he met Concubine Zhao’s dowry maid. After the two of them talked about something, he said that he had to find someone to replace him. He hasn’t come back until now. .Li San thought, Zhou Lian should be right.If Concubine Zhao's maid was looking for her, then that person should already know that Concubine Zhao is dead.But it hasn't appeared until now, which can only explain one problem, he ran away.

Shall we send someone out to look for it?Li San was very confused.

Just when he was struggling, a bad news came.
