Li Yan didn't expect his father to have a heart attack with his few words.

After seeing his father being helped away in a hurry, Li Yan was in a panic.

Even if he harbors resentment, it's just resentment against his father, why can't he be equal? From the beginning to the end, he never thought of making his father angry.

He got up from the ground and walked out on crutches.

When passing by King Zhao, Li Yan paused.

He said viciously: "You killed my mother and concubine, I will remember. Sooner or later, I will make you pay with blood."

Li Ji didn't even look at him.

Li Yan limped out with a cane.

Li Ji walked to the side of the bed, looked down at Concubine Liu Gui who was covered by the white cloth.

The two old nuns guarded in fear, staring at King Zhao without blinking, for fear that King Zhao would do something bad to Concubine Liu's body in a fit of anger.

At this moment, they heard King Zhao say something coldly.

"search."

The two old ladies froze

search? Who are you searching for?

Li Ji looked sideways at the two of them and asked impatiently.

"What are you still doing in a daze? See if there is anything hidden on the imperial concubine's body?"

Only then did the two old nuns react.

They rushed forward in a hurry, and frantically searched Concubine Liu Gui.

Soon they found a small porcelain vase from Liu Guifei's sleeve.

Li Ji asked someone to invite an imperial physician over.

The imperial physician inspected the small porcelain bottle and confirmed that it was the container used to hold Hedinghong.

The two old nuns rushed to report the news to the emperor and the fifth prince.

But Li Ji had already left Lingxue Hall without a sound.

He went to the Department of Punishment.

"This king wants to see Zicuckoo."

Ying Si showed a face of embarrassment: "My lord came a step late, Zijuan crashed into the wall and died before a cup of tea."

In order to prove that what he said was true, he even asked someone to carry Zijuan's body out for King Zhao to have a look.

Li Ji looked at the blood hole on Zicuckoo's forehead.

Being able to make such a big gap is enough to prove that she really had the will to die when she hit the wall.

Concubine Liu Gui committed suicide by taking poison on her front foot, and Zijuan hit a wall on her back foot.

This is too much of a coincidence.

Li Ji looked up at Ying Sizheng.

He clearly heard Ying Sizheng's inner voice——

"How can this palace maid choose to die at this time? How can I explain this to my superiors?!"

It seems that this should be ignorant of the Secretary.

Li Ji said coldly: "People die under your nose, is this your ability to handle affairs?"

Ying Sizheng lowered his head resentfully: "It's the negligence of a humble job."

The emperor had to deal with this matter. Li Ji didn't bother to waste any more words, so he turned around and left.

Inside Lingxue Hall.

After some treatment by the imperial physician, the emperor's heart gradually became less painful.

He sat up with Zuo Ji's support, looked at the two old nuns kneeling on the ground and asked.

"You said that you found evidence of Concubine Liu Gui's suicide?"

Two old nuns sent up the small porcelain bottle, asking the emperor to have a look.

There was an imperial physician nearby to help explain that this was indeed a container for holding Hedinghong.

Li Yan did not believe that his mother and concubine would commit suicide for no reason.

"Perhaps after King Zhao killed my concubine mother, he stuffed this porcelain bottle into her sleeve."

One of the old nuns showed a look of hesitation.

Emperor: "Speak up if you have something to say, no matter what you say is right or wrong, as long as you tell the truth, I will forgive you for your innocence."

Only then did the old mammy dare to speak.

"After the imperial concubine got poisoned, the slaves stayed by her side all the time. The slaves heard the noble concubine tell King Zhao that it was a man named Zijuan who forced her to drink Hedinghong..."

Immediately afterwards, she recounted the conversation between King Zhao and Concubine Liu Gui.

When he heard that Concubine Liu Gui voluntarily took Hedinghong in order to save her own life, Li Yan felt dizzy and fell backwards staggeringly.

Fortunately, an imperial physician nearby reached out to help him in time.

"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine..."

Tears welled up.

Li Yan threw away his crutches and staggered towards the next room.

He rushed to the side of the concubine's bed and knelt straight on the ground.

His knee slammed hard on the ground paved with white marble, making a heavy muffled sound.

But as if he couldn't feel the pain, he kowtowed hard towards the concubine mother.

Tears dripped down his cheeks and hit the ground silently.

"Mother and concubine, it is your son who is unfilial, it is your son who killed you!"

...

After Li Ji left the palace, he didn't go back directly to the palace, but went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion for the first time.

Seeing that it was King Zhao who came back, the concierge wanted to stop him but didn't dare. In the end, he could only watch in horror as King Zhao strode across the threshold of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Li Ji ignored the terrified expressions of the people in the mansion, and went straight into the Buddhist hall where the tablet of Duke Zhen was enshrined.

This place is obviously cleaned every day, whether it is on the ground or on the incense table, everything is spotless.

The memorial tablet is placed in the middle of the incense table in an upright manner.

There are candlesticks on both sides, and white candles burn quietly.

Right in front of the tablet is a small incense burner.

Li Ji picked up three sticks of incense sticks, lit them, and bowed three times to the memorial tablet.

The moment he inserted the incense stick into the incense burner, there was an angry scolding from Princess Rouwan outside the door.

"What are you doing back here? You are not welcome here, get out immediately!"

Li Ji turned around and saw Princess Rouwan walking in from the outside.

She looked even thinner and haggard than the last time I saw her, but the hatred in her eyes became more intense.

Li Ji looked at her calmly.

"I just wanted to see my father."

Princess Rouwan said disgustedly: "What qualifications do you have to visit the Duke? You disaster star, just seeing you makes me feel sick!"

Li Jing looked at her steadfastly, and suddenly asked something shocking.

"Why do you think I'm disgusting? Is it because I'm not your child with your father?"

Princess Rouwan's expression froze.

Li Ji asked word by word: "Am I really my father's biological son?"

At this moment, some sporadic images suddenly appeared in the mind of Princess Rouwan.

At that time, she had just married Zhen Guogong, and when the two were engaged in a deep affection, she accompanied Zhen Guogong to the palace for a banquet, and her dress was accidentally soiled.

She was led to a remote room to change clothes.

Just then the emperor barged in.

Things got out of hand after that.

Even though the emperor explained afterwards that he was drugged, he even dealt with the woman who tried to climb into bed by drugging in front of her, but the thing had already happened, and she was no longer innocent.

She cried and tidied herself up, and returned to Duke Zhen's side.

Zhen Guogong asked her what happened?

She dared not say anything, but kept crying.

When she got home, she wanted to pretend nothing had happened.

But God seemed to be against her on purpose, and actually let her conceive a child.

Children are a gift from God to others.

But for Princess Rouwan, it is the evidence of her loss of virginity, and it is a cruel reality that she is unwilling to face even if she dies.
