"I……"

Qin Jiaojiao choked as soon as she opened her mouth.

She knew that Wei's death was an accident, but because she couldn't stand Qin Ye, and she didn't like the way King Li favored Qin Ye, she held on to Qin Ye's slander.

In fact, Wei didn't have to die.

That night, she wanted to settle the score with Qin Ye, but ended up causing Qin Ye to have a miscarriage; if she had stayed at home, Wei would not have run away.

But this can't be considered her fault!

If Prince Chen hadn't driven the prince to the imperial mausoleum, would she have gone crazy with worry?

"Your Highness, I went to find Qin Ye that night. I wanted her to ask King Chen to let you come back to recover, but... King Chen said I was meddling in other people's business, locked me up, and wouldn't let me see my mother."

"That night, my mother was outside the door. I heard her cry for help. I wanted to run out like crazy, but they wouldn't let me. It rained so hard that night. Prince Chen and Qin Ye were so cruel. They didn't care about my mother at all and watched her die in the rain..."

She talked nonsense, tears fell from her red eyes, her voice was choked, her emotions were sincere, and what she said sounded like the truth.

Zong Zhengli felt a pain between his eyebrows.

I imagine how helpless and desperate Wei was on that rainy night...

His heart felt like it was being cut into pieces by a knife. The pain was so severe that he could not breathe, and the hatred in his heart doubled.

He clenched his palms, digging his nails deep into his palms. The surging hatred almost swallowed him up. His breathing became disordered, and his throat suddenly tasted fishy and sweet.

“Hmm—”

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Qin Jiaojiao was almost frightened, and hurriedly supported him and returned to Li Wang Mansion. After the doctor examined him and bandaged his wounds and his condition stabilized, Qin Jiaojiao felt relieved. She had been locked up for two days and her body was very weak, so she went to rest.

As soon as she left, Wu Nu came.

"This is a special and excellent medicine from my Miaojiang." The slender hand turned over, and in the palm of her hand lay two pills of excellent medicine that could not be bought with money.

"Thank you very much."

Zong Zhengli took it and swallowed it. It took effect immediately and his breathing soon became more stable.

Wu Nu sat down, twisted a strand of hair, and wrapped it around her fingertips two or three times.

There was no need to thank him, what she wanted was the same as what he wanted, and she would do anything as long as she could bring down King Chen.

"Recover from your injuries. If you want revenge, how can you fight King Chen without a healthy body?"

A deep hatred flashed across the man's eyes.

He will!

The emperor has assigned him the task of the Qingming Festival ancestor worship. He will do a better job than Zong Zhengchen. He will prove his strength to everyone, and he will snatch away all the things that belong to Prince Chen.

Including Qin Ye!

"Master." The secret guard came in and whispered something quickly in his ear.

"Oh?" The man's clenched hands suddenly loosened, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.

Is there such a thing?

.

In the imperial capital, among the flowers and willows, in a three-story pavilion, the pink decorations are full of seductive erotic tones, and the women are all dressed revealingly and coquettishly. This is the place that men like most, Zuimenglou.

The land of gentleness.

At this time, seven or eight girls were surrounding a beautiful woman, all with envy on their faces:

"Sister Yao'er, you are so lucky. You have been in the building for only two months and you have been favored by a nobleman. Now you are pregnant with his child."

"He should redeem you and take you in as his concubine, right?"

"Who is that man? Is he handsome? What's his family background?"

"Sister Yao'er, now that you have reached the top, please remember to take good care of your sisters..."

The woman named Yao'er was wearing a purple dress. She gently stroked her belly which was not noticeable yet, with a deep smile on her lips.

Because of this child, she is indeed going to rise to the top and become a phoenix.

The madam came over, waving her handkerchief, "Alright, alright, what are you all doing here? If you have the energy to talk nonsense, you might as well think about how to hook up with a rich man tonight. Let's go, go, go."

Dispersed a group of girls.

When he looked at Yao'er, the impatience on his face instantly turned into a flattering smile:

"Miss Yao'er, please go upstairs and rest. I have already informed His Royal Highness King Feng of your pregnancy. He should be here soon. Just wait to become his queen."

Others don’t know who the man Yaoer is with, but the madam knows very well.

Yaoer nodded, said nothing, put her hand on her belly, stroked it gently, and went upstairs.

I went to the third floor, walked to my room, opened the door, and suddenly saw a handsome man's face.

"Are you the woman that King Feng keeps outside?"
