Chapter 20 Mrs. Lei took the initiative to admit her mistake
Then the emperor added: "The poison used by Concubine Li came from the Western Regions, and your shop has sold rare goods from the Western Regions."
"She has already confessed that a mysterious person provided her with the poison. I think it was you."
Bei Jingchu was angry: [So my stomachache before was also caused by this bastard? Ah yeah! Beat him! ]
King Lu was suddenly panicked.
What? Didn't Concubine Li die suddenly?
No wonder he suddenly died of an acute illness. It turned out that he was found to have murdered the prince.
"Do you know how I found out? Because she wanted to harm the little princess, I followed the clues and found out."
"What? This stupid woman!" King Lu was furious. What a stupid teammate.
I've told her that the princess is not a threat and she shouldn't bother with it. It would only make him suspicious.
He didn't send her the medicine this time. It must be that the stupid woman had secretly hidden it before.
"Hahahaha." King Lu let out a low, cold laugh.
"I never thought that all my efforts and planning would be succumbed to the jealousy of a woman."
"You put drugs in the wine, didn't you? I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, how could I talk nonsense with just this little bit of wine?"
The emperor did not answer this boring question, but instead gave King Lu a critical blow:
"Besides the matter of Concubine Li, the wife of General Jinwuwei is also yours, right?"
Prince Lu raised his head suddenly, not believing that the emperor had dug out the deepest clue he had buried.
"Is it hard to accept? Your little trick is so childish that even a one-month-old child can see through it."
The emperor's words were justified. Although he didn't see it, the one-month-old child in his arms saw it.
But the child was not satisfied and was worried:
[What are you still talking about here! Why don't you just kill him directly? Did you know that villains die because they talk too much? ]
emperor:……
King Lu looked mad, "Hahahaha, I can't escape death, but how long do you think you can live?"
"You know what? I've added something to your well-protected diet. You won't live much longer."
After saying this, Prince Lu was waiting to see the emperor panic-stricken by his words, hoping that he would be unable to eat or sleep after returning.
But the emperor simply changed the hand that was holding Bei Jingchu and took a brocade box from Eunuch Jiang.
He opened it and asked King Lu, "Are you talking about this?"
King Lu, who was tied to the pillar, was shocked: "How...how did you know?"
[It's so funny, it's such an obvious situation, only a fool wouldn't notice it. ]
The emperor, who didn't notice it at first, felt that he was hit by an arrow in the knee.
"You are very smart. You tempted me with immortality. When the temptation is great enough, people will ignore the risk and take a gamble."
"That's how I seized the throne. If I failed, I would die. If I succeeded, I would sit on the throne and easily control your life and death."
"By the way, you also married the woman you've always dreamed of."
Prince Lu was pushed to the point of collapse step by step. He didn't expect that he even knew about the concubine: "What did you know?"
The emperor replied calmly: "My dear concubine, haven't you always been communicating with her?"
Bei Jingchu opened her round little mouth wide: [My awesome dad, you actually knew about this. It turns out you are the first person to eat melons. ]
The emperor was speechless. Why did this little guy think about eating melons all day long? These were obviously big things.
King Lu's eyes were filled with jealousy. "I was just born a few years later, so I don't even have the qualifications to compete for the throne. Why is your luck always so good?"
"He sat on the supreme throne and casually married the woman I liked."
Bei Jingchu expressed disdain for his incompetent and furious look: [Luck, luck. Only people like you attribute other people's success to luck.]
[My Aye obviously relies on his extraordinary wisdom, keen insight, and brilliant intelligence! Wouldn't he be able to see through this little scheme at a glance? ]
Emperor: ...Don’t exaggerate.
He is ashamed!
King Lu was right, his luck was indeed enviable.
Before God wanted to kill him, he sent Chu Chu, his little lucky star.
The emperor gave Prince Lu an intact body because of their brotherly relationship.
After returning to Xuanshi Hall from the inner prison, he was gloomy and seemed to be in a bad mood.
The palace attendants dared not make a sound; even the sound of their footsteps was so quiet that it made the atmosphere even more depressing.
Bei Jingchu didn't understand what was going on, and in order to ease the atmosphere, she gave the emperor a sweet toothless smile.
The baby's soft smile finally relaxed his tense jaw.
"What do you know? All you know is laughing."
[I am just a child! What do I need to know? I know that eating and sleeping, and sleeping and eating are good enough. ]
She pouted in dissatisfaction.
The emperor's voice was a little depressed: "From today on, I don't have any brothers anymore. When my children compete for the throne in the future, will it be the same ending that all my descendants will die except for the winner?"
When Eunuch Jiang heard what the emperor said to the little princess, his knees almost gave way and he fell to his knees.
But Bei Jingchu’s focus is different: [??? Don’t we still have sisters? They have a low sense of presence, but you can’t forget them, right?]
Emperor: ...You have a point.
Therefore, during non-holiday seasons, many of the Princess's mansions received gifts from His Majesty.
They were delighted but also puzzled. Only a few people guessed that perhaps it was because Prince Lu had just died that His Majesty began to care about the brotherhood between him and his sisters.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Mrs. Lei also received a letter from her parents:
"King Lu is dead, so the plan has come to an end. From now on, if you can capture General Lei, you can also ensure your wealth and prosperity for the rest of your life."
Mrs. Lei patted her chest, thankful that Lei Ning was not executed by the emperor, otherwise she would have to take Nan'er back to her parents' home.
It goes without saying which is better, the family of the wife who was not promoted by the successful Prince Lu or the general's mansion.
At this time, Lei Ning was checking the homework written by Lei Nian'er. After he started paying attention to the child, he suddenly remembered that Nian'er was old enough to go to school and learn to read, so he hired a teacher.
At this time, she heard the servant invite her, and seeing the happy scene in the room, Aunt Gui couldn't bear to disturb them.
But the servants in the main courtyard looked arrogant: "Auntie, please let me in. Madam, this time it's your fault to make amends to the general. You also know how much the general loves you. Madam has taken the initiative to admit her mistakes, so why shouldn't she forgive her?
If there is any delay, when the Madam and the General reconcile, you and the eldest lady will be the first to suffer the consequences."
Aunt Gui thought of that scene and she didn't believe that the general would not forgive his wife.
If she holds a grudge against them by then, life will be even more difficult for them and their daughter.
I could only go into the house and call for help.
"Admit your mistake?" General Lei said meaningfully, "I just happened to have something to talk to her about."
He touched Lei Nian'er's head with his rough big hand, "Be good, Nian'er. Father is going to be busy."
After the people left, Aunt Gui went up to hug her daughter. The two thin figures looked particularly frail.
Thinking of how he walked away without hesitation when he heard that the lady had admitted her mistake, Aunt Gui felt sad.
He pressed his face against his daughter's soft face and almost cried.
This happy time is about to end. I am afraid that they, mother and daughter, will return to the days when they could get no help from heaven or earth.
