When the queen saw the prince being slapped, she hurriedly grabbed the emperor's clothes.
"Your Majesty, calm down, what happened?"
The queen has always seen the emperor's love for the prince.
The emperor's anger calmed down a bit when he was pulled by the queen behind him.
"What a sinner, why don't you kneel down."
The prince wanted to refute in his heart, but he didn't dare at all. He knelt down with grievance in his heart.
Pursing his lips: "Father, I don't know what I did wrong."
Emperor Xiaojing looked at the person in front of him: "The queen was poisoned yesterday. Did you care about your mother?"
"Opening your mouth and keeping silent is to protect people. Where will you put your mother?"
The prince was speechless after being scolded, and he knelt on the ground in silence, too ashamed to raise his head.
Emperor Xiaojing still felt a little confused and continued to curse: "You have the nerve to come to me to complain about Pei Zhi. If you don't help me, forget it. You just want to cause trouble. Go back to your East Palace and reflect."
If the queen beside him hadn't been pulling on his sleeves, Emperor Xiaojing would have really wanted to kick this evil obstacle.
If it weren't for the fact that he had so few children, the prince would be the queen's only son...
The prince had not thought about so many things before, but now that he was being reprimanded like this, the tips of his ears turned red with shame.
What my father said was correct. He had indeed not visited his mother until her accident.
Today I’m going to talk about the orb.
He had just wanted to visit his mother today, but he happened to hear about the orb, and for a moment he was so angry that he went to his head.
The queen also reacted and glanced at her son who was kneeling on the ground. Only then did the prince react.
His face was a bit panicked and respectful: "This is my son's problem. Father, please calm down."
"My son should cooperate with Pei Zhi to find out the culprit behind this and make amends to his mother."
The queen held Emperor Xiaojing's hand again: "Okay, the prince has admitted his mistake, your majesty, please don't be angry."
Emperor Xiaojing then snorted, "Okay, go down and reflect on it."
The prince then stood up and excused himself...
Eunuch Fu, who was beside His Majesty, saw this and had an unusual impression of Pei Zhi.
Inspector Pei sent news to His Majesty yesterday, saying that someone close to the prince was arrested, and it was extremely possible that he was the murderer of the empress.
After His Majesty heard what he said, he believed Inspector Pei without hesitation, and even sent someone to Pei's house to say that his little sister had been abducted and comfort him several times.
Eunuch Fu silently clicked his tongue several times in his heart.
Your Majesty always loves the prince, but this is the first time he has been taught a lesson like this...
Jiang Li only felt that she had a headache these days. Wei Liangyu was often not at home, and she was the only one in this huge mansion.
The people around her were very indifferent and would come to her immediately if she needed anything, but she just felt very uncomfortable here.
The maid serving her personally was named Xiaotao. She was dressed in pink and peach-colored clothes, but her eyebrows were very cold.
Every time Jiang Li had an idea, that person seemed to have seen through her. She didn't like this feeling.
She secretly talked to Wei Liangyu once, but Wei Liangyu just waved his fan, smiled, and began to advise her.
He said that Xiao Tao was very skilled in martial arts and could stay by her side to protect her safety in the future.
Jiang Li was confused about this, so where did her former personal maid go?
Why did you lose your memory?
The explanation given by Wei Liangyu was that she had gone up the mountain to worship Buddha, but unexpectedly encountered a group of robbers. In order to protect her, the personal maid had already died in the chaos.
And she accidentally knocked her head while fighting the gangster, which led to her current memory damage.
When Wei Liangyu said this, there were a few clusters of smiles on his eyebrows. Jiang Li felt that there were many deep meanings in his smile that he could not understand.
Today, Wei Liangyu came back early again.
He had his own fan and was sitting alone in a pavilion drinking wine, accompanied by two beautiful women.
Jiang Li felt strange when she faced the person in front of her. She convinced herself several times before stepping forward.
He hesitated and said: "Brother, I think I'm almost recovered. I want to go out for a walk."
Wei Liangyu seemed to have not heard her words and drank by himself.
"Ah Li, something like that happened to you last time. How dare your brother let you go out again?"
Jiang Li only felt that her brother's words were filled with an unknown smile, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Wei Liangyu looked at her and smiled: "Sit down and drink with your brother."
Jiang Li subconsciously wanted to refuse.
She always felt that she had promised others not to drink in unfamiliar environments.
Wei Liangyu said: "Our parents left early, and I worked hard to raise you up alone. Now I just want you to come and have a drink with me, and you are not willing to do it."
Wei Liangyu said with a bit of ridicule on his face: "The wings are really hard."
After hearing this, Jiang Li raised the wine glass in front of her: "Of course not, brother is worrying too much."
During this time, while she was recovering from her injuries, she listened to Xiao Tao telling her about the past.
Xiao Tao said that her brother had a better future and development, but he was willing to stay here for his own sake.
He also said that his parents died early and his family was in poor circumstances when he was young. His brother took him everywhere begging and gave him all the good things he begged for...
and so on…
If Xiao Tao hadn't told him these things, Jiang Li wouldn't have been able to tell that the gentle and jade-like person in front of him would be the embarrassed person Xiao Tao said.
"Brother, you said you raised me when I was young."
Wei Liangyu looked at the serious little girl in front of him, nodded, closed his folding fan, and gently lifted her chin.
"Yes, you were a little kid back then, but you were very well-behaved."
"Like now, he is simply a heartless person."
Jiang Li could feel a hint of sadness in the eyes of the person in front of her looking at her.
It's like looking at another person through yourself——
She tentatively said: "Brother, did you just think of your father and mother?"
Wei Liangyu smiled nonchalantly and said: "I can't even think of it, I don't know how many years have passed."
Then he poured himself a glass of wine and said, "I just asked you to drink a glass of wine with me and say so many things."
Jiang Li looked at the person in front of her and said hurriedly: "Brother, I'll just drink."
Then he picked up his glass and drank it in one gulp.
She didn't drink much alcohol to begin with, and this wine was very spicy.
Jiang Li coughed violently, "Ahem, cough, cough, why is this wine so spicy?"
Wei Liangyu didn't move at all, looking at the little girl's embarrassment, the smile on his face continued: "I just need such a spicy wine to enjoy it."
As the night wind blew in, Jiang Li felt that the person in front of her turned into two, and then turned into multiple ghosts.
Then he fell unconscious.
She recalled vaguely in her mind that she seemed to have promised someone that she would not drink alcohol without him...
Looking at Jiang Li who fell unconscious on the table, Wei Liangyu chuckled.
The wine in the jug was almost empty, and he used the moonlight to look at the little girl lying on the table.
No wonder Pei Zhi treasures Jiang Li so much. Jiang Li is indeed one of the most beautiful women he has seen in all these years of traveling around.
I don't know when a secret guard stood behind me: "Master, we don't have much time, they will check here soon."
Wei Liangyu said: "It doesn't matter."
If Pei Zhi were slower, he would be disappointed.
Jiang Li now feels that he is her brother. I wonder what will happen between the two after meeting Pei Zhi?
Wei Liangyu felt very happy when he thought of Pei Zhi's face.
He said nonchalantly: "No matter when he comes, you go first and get me two jugs of wine."
The secret guard was used to his appearance and went down with his fists clasped.
Wei Liangyu held his hands, no one was around, and a look of despair flashed in his eyes.
What he just said was half true and half false. It was true that his parents died young and he finally rescued his sister and fed his sister everything he got from begging.
But on that cold snowy night, life was ruthlessly taken away.
Wei Liangyu still remembers the way his little sister died little by little in his arms.
The man was only out of breath, braving the heat in the snowy night, his body gradually stiffened, he was already as skinny as a stick from hunger, and his eyes looked extraordinarily big.
Her small hands grabbed the corner of his clothes, still murmuring to her brother——
Wei Liangyu was thinking about this, and the secret guard placed two bottles of strong wine in front of his table, which brought him back to his senses.
In an instant, he turned into the gentle and carefree young man with a smile on his face.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on Jiang Li again.
If the little sister is still alive, she should be at this age.
