Chapter 85 Unrepentant
"Mom..." Little Tangbao looked at the Queen who was sitting not far away.
The Queen immediately said, "Catch this thief quickly!"
The guards stepped forward and held down Bai Laodao tightly. Bai Laodao refused to give up and shouted loudly, "What grounds do you have to arrest me? Even the emperor should act according to the rules!"
"How dare you discuss etiquette with me?" The emperor stepped forward and kicked the old Taoist priest over. "Do you know who was the one who just spied on you? She is our Princess Mingzhu, who has been smart since she was young and knows people's hearts best!"
"If you didn't do anything bad, why did you spit out blood just now?" The emperor was so angry that he kicked the old Taoist priest in the chest again.
[Bad guy! Come on, Emperor Daddy, let’s fight!] Little Tangbao waved his little fist to cheer, [The big bad guy made Tangbao suffer a lot!]
After hearing this, the Empress, who had not taken any action yet, no longer cared about her manners and stepped forward to slap the Taoist priest Bai in the face to vent her anger.
What is that!
It even tired their little sweetheart!
"Tell me, who is your accomplice?" the emperor asked coldly.
Bai Laodao sneered, "What's the point of telling you? The man has already escaped."
"Hurry up and tell me!" The guard punched Taoist Bai in the stomach several times.
Taoist Bai smiled and spat out a mouthful of blood, "I just won't tell you."
"That person is vicious and will definitely find a way to harm you again. I won't tell you where he escaped to today. I just want to watch him find another chance to harm you. I just want to watch you die!"
The emperor was so angry that he personally stepped forward and gave Taoist Bai a few beatings.
Seeing that the man refused to speak no matter how he was tortured, the emperor waved his hand and signaled the guards to drag him to the Ministry of Punishment.
At this moment, Little Sugar Baby babbled, "I have a solution. Wait a little longer. Don't let him go yet."
The emperor immediately raised his hand and said, "Princess Mingzhu has spoken. I think there must be a way. Let's wait for a moment."
Little Sugar Baby nodded.
Soon, a group of cats with different fur colors gathered at the palace gate. They seemed to understand Xiao Tangbao's baby talk. They all squatted there obediently, listening to Xiao Tangbao's babbling.
After Little Sugar finished babbling, the cats scattered and disappeared into the night.
[They are very smart. They are all helping me get information now. Emperor, please wait patiently.]
The emperor touched Little Tangbao's head and said, "Little elf, what new trick did you use to summon the cat? You really know everything and can understand animal language."
Little Tangbao nodded proudly, rubbing his little head in the Queen's arms like a cat.
Not long after, many of the cats that had just gone out came back.
They meowed at the little sugar baby.
Xiao Tangbao nodded as he listened, [The bad guys are Zhao Song and Mu Li, they took a boat and fled south. ]
[Oh, I'm so anxious. Tang Bao can't speak, so I can't tell the Emperor. ]
The emperor's eyes darkened, and he immediately said, "It seems that these cats know something. Send the Yulin Army to follow these cats. Wherever they go, they must be strictly tracked down. Also, send people to investigate in advance any places they may have reached."
The guards looked at Xiao Tangbao with admiration.
Although the order was issued by the emperor, they knew that it must have been Princess Mingzhu who gave the order.
If it were someone else and they were asked to chase the cat, they would definitely be unhappy and would think that the person giving the order was being stupid.
But since it was Princess Mingzhu, a little goddess with the ability to communicate with the divine bird, who gave the order, they had no choice but to obey.
According to the emperor's words, within three hours, the Yu Lin army intercepted Zhao Song and Mu Li's boats in a river.
They were taken back to the palace.
As soon as he saw the emperor and the empress, Mu Li immediately knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
After all, he had been raised for some time. When the empress saw that his face was red and his eyes were swollen from crying, she couldn't help feeling a little upset.
"I never thought that I would raise such an ungrateful person like you!" The emperor was so angry that his hands were shaking.
The love he showed to Mu Li during those years was not fake. Before he knew that he was a baby swapper, he treated him like his own son for several years.
Mu Li shook his head, "It's not my fault, it's not my fault, I just wanted to go back to the palace, it was Mo Junye, he stole the love of the Emperor and the Empress for me, he is the one who deserves to die!"
"Don't you know how to repent at this point?" The Queen's eyes turned red with anger.
Zhao Song had been silent all along, and after a while he sneered, "Mu Li and I blame you, but what evidence do you have to prove that I harmed you?"
"Evidence?" The emperor waved his hand and asked someone to bring Taoist Bai up.
When Zhao Song saw Bai Laodao, his eyes darkened.
He clearly stabbed the old man before leaving.
Why isn't this old man dead yet?
It seems that the old Taoist used some tricks and faked his death to escape his scheme.
Bai Laodao and Zhao Song looked at each other and sneered.
He originally thought that he could escape the disaster by using a sleight of hand to make Zhao Song think that he was dead, but he did not expect that he would still be caught by the emperor.
And the fool Zhao Song was also caught by the emperor.
Even so, he was too lazy to keep it secret any longer and might as well die quickly.
Thinking of this, Bai Laodao said coldly, "It was him. He used to cooperate with my apprentice, but something went wrong when my apprentice tried to harm this kid a few months ago."
"After that, this man came to me and used threats and bribes to make me do the ritual for him, which led to today's drama. You can only blame me for my poor skills, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here to judge me today."
After hearing this, Xiaotangbao clicked his tongue twice.
[It’s not that I’m not good at it, it’s just that I’m better than you. 】
After hearing Xiao Tangbao's somewhat funny and arrogant words, a slight smile appeared on the Empress's lips.
I felt a little better and was no longer upset about the pastor getting involved.
"Looking for your apprentice, what else have you done besides cooperating in the assassination of my son a few months ago?" the emperor asked coldly. He intuitively felt that this matter was not that simple.
"Then I don't know. That was a deal between my apprentice and him." Old Taoist Bai spread his hands, looking as if he really knew nothing.
Zhao Song said nothing, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
The emperor had no choice but to send someone to torture him. In order not to scare little Tangbao, he asked the eunuchs to carry a screen.
Little Tangbao was listening curiously to what was happening on the other side behind the screen, but she was not idle. She called some cats and birds over and wanted to check further according to the emperor's wishes.
Look at what other dirty things Zhao Song and the previous Taoist priests have done.
In less than half an hour, a few birds came back and stood by the window, chirping.
After hearing this, Xiao Tangbao's face changed drastically, [The baby in Concubine Li's belly was also harmed by this bad guy. ]
[In order to prevent the emergence of a new prince with a powerful background, the bad guys had people harm Concubine Li's baby several times! ]
[The bad guys are so bad! Beat them up!] Little Tangbao waved his hands in anger.
I just regret that she can’t speak now and can’t tell everyone the truth.
Just when little Tang Bao was still worried about not being able to speak, the Empress and the Emperor, who already knew the truth, were so angry that their faces turned livid.
Especially the emperor, he personally took the knife and rushed towards Zhao Song.
