"Ascend to the throne?"
Chu Li finally turned around, the smile in the corner of his eyes was so sweet that it could almost cut a knife, "Is your head filled with grass, or do you think that others are just like you, all brainless idiots!"
"you……"
Chong Feng twisted his palm vigorously, "Go!"
Master Guiyi felt pain in his wound and groaned several times. He stumbled and was grabbed by the collar and dragged out of the palace.
"Where are you taking me..."
"Of course, go where you are supposed to go!"
Leave the palace.
Throw the man onto the horse.
Get out of town!
All the way to a remote place on the outskirts of the city, outside a secluded house, Chu Li pulled the reins, dismounted, and walked lightly up the stairs.
"Miss, you are here." Chu Er heard the voice and came out to greet her.
Chu Li nodded, his eyes looking inward:
"they……"
"Don't worry, young lady. The servants have taken good care of her. After these few days of teaching, she can already use a spoon to eat and can also put on clothes. However, her mind is still crazy and her speech is incoherent."
Chu Li walked lightly to the door and looked inside.
In the quiet and tidy courtyard, women are basking in the sun.
They finally put on clean and complete clothes and combed their hair neatly. After being locked up in that dark cellar where there was no sunlight for who knows how many years and days and nights, they finally saw the sunlight.
They are skinny and stupid, which makes people feel pity and heartache.
Chu Li concealed the compassion in his eyes, turned around, grabbed Master Guiyi with murderous intent, and pulled him off the horse.
"come over!"
"ah!"
His foot cracked at his ankle.
it hurts!
"Tanari, Tanari..."
Chu Li dragged him to the door, feeling a little nervous. "Tell me, who is my biological mother?"
Master Guiyi fell to his knees in pain.
"So you want to find your biological mother. I tell you, but my injury is very painful. You need to let me go first and find a doctor to treat me, and then..."
"Don't talk nonsense to me!"
Chu Li raised his foot, stepped on his ankle, and crushed it hard.
"Tell me, your attitude determines your life or death!"
"ah!!"
pain!
Severe pain!
But Master Guiyi laughed out loud in pain: "Haha! Haha! You asked me for something, yet you still dared to do this to me? I won't tell you!"
He laughed wildly as if he had something on Chu Li.
Chu Li sneered:
"Do you think I can do nothing if you don't tell me? At worst, I can take care of these eight women and take care of them until they die."
"you!"
Master Guiyi choked.
"Princess Wen is dead. Don't you want to know who your biological mother is? She is your only living relative."
"In no mood!"
Chu Li said, "They are all poor mothers who were defiled by you. I have decided to take care of them until the end of their lives. As for you..."
She narrowed her eyes.
"Chongfeng, lock him up in that cellar and assign someone to guard him. Throw him a steamed bun and a bowl of water every day, and tie his hands and feet with iron chains to prevent him from committing suicide, until he dies of old age!"
Master Guiyi's eyes widened in astonishment, and then a deep panic emerged:
"You, what are you doing!?"
Chong Feng strode forward and grabbed his shoulders. He struggled like a frightened bird:
"No! You can't lock me up! Let me go! Chu Li, I'm your father, how can you lock me up like an animal in that dark cellar!"
No!
Even killing him would be more satisfying than imprisoning him for life.
"Chu Li, I don't want the kingdom or the throne anymore. Please let me go! Degrade me to a commoner. From now on, I am just an ordinary citizen and will not pose any threat to you! Let me go!"
Chu Li looked at each other coldly.
Chong Feng grabbed him and said, "Let's go!"
"Churi!"
"You killed me! Why not kill me!"
Chu Li glanced sideways, "Then why don't you commit suicide?"
"Chongfeng has a sword in his hand. You can get it by just stretching out your hand. Just kill yourself."
Master Guiyi was shocked and looked at the sword in Chongfeng's hand. He wanted to reach out to take it, but...he hesitated.
He dared not.
It takes courage to die.
Chu Li was also sure that he wouldn't dare.
People like him are despicable, vicious, selfish, and ruthless when harming others, but when it comes to themselves, their desire to survive is stronger than anyone else.
He had experienced the fall of the previous dynasty, been disfigured by a fire, and had played chess for so many years to get to where he is today. How could he bear to die?
"Chongfeng, take him to the cellar!"
"yes."
“Let me go! Let me go!”
Master Guiyi struggled hard, "Chu Li, if you let me go, I will tell you the whereabouts of my biological mother! Please let me go!"
"ah!"
He was taken away.
No chance to beg for mercy!
He was so anxious and desperate that he blurted out all the ugly words:
"Chu Li, you bitch! I shouldn't have given birth to you, you ungrateful bastard! If it weren't for me, would you have become a prince and lived a happy life?"
"You dare to kill your father, you will definitely be punished!"
"Your biological mother is dead, hahaha! She died of hemorrhage during childbirth when you were born. I thought she had polluted the cellar, so I rolled her up in a straw mat and threw her into the mountains to feed the wolves. She doesn't even have a grave, not even a bone left! Haha! Hahaha!"
Chu Li clenched his palms, trying hard to suppress the sadness and anger in his heart.
Chongfeng quickly took the man away.
The mournful voice became increasingly distant, sometimes begging for mercy, sometimes laughing wildly, and sometimes being unbridled, as if someone had gone mad.
But, it's over after all.
Chu Li closed his eyes.
No matter what the past was like, taking every step in the future well is the most important thing.
"Madam!"
Jingying came over and said, "I have found out what you asked me to investigate. In addition to Chu Yeli and the little monk who died, you also have... 27 sisters."
He presented a booklet.
"Over the years, Master Guiyi has imprisoned more than ten women, giving birth to countless children. He then abandoned the children as soon as they were born and used them to satisfy his own desires and selfishness."
"Now, these children are scattered in different places, but they are basically in the Imperial City."
There are common people's families, wealthy merchants' families, and officials' families...
Chu Li picked up the booklet and slowly flipped through it.
Lin Ze'an, seventeen years old, is the adopted son of the wealthy Lin family.
Ran Dongxue, thirteen years old, is the adopted daughter of the scholar Ran family.
Meng Xincheng, nine years old...
The oldest was twenty-three years old and the youngest was just over one year old, a total of twenty-seven people, all adopted by different families in the imperial capital.
Chu Li looked at the booklet and smiled:
"I always thought that my mother only gave birth to me and that I was all alone, but I didn't expect that suddenly 20 or 30 brothers and sisters would appear. It's really lively."
Jingying observed her expression and said carefully:
"Then... shall I go and gather them together and arrange a meeting for you to meet?"
