No one in Mi Die
noticed that Qiu Chudong's face turned pale in an instant when he saw the scene in the room.
The emperor was furious, and Qiu Zhe, who was among the crowd, suddenly woke up.
The first thing he saw was that the room was packed with people - all important people he had just met at the banquet, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them.
Not caring that he was still naked, Qiu Zhe subconsciously knelt down with a plop, his face pale: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty -"
"Beep, beep, beep, do you want to call me Bi Ma Wen?!"
Li Shi was furious. Interrupting him, "I told you why you haven't seen anyone since you went to the toilet. It turns out you came here to hang out! In broad daylight, are you treating this royal garden as a brothel?! Ridiculous... so ridiculous It's so unbecoming!"
He was about to let Fuzi pull him down when he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind: "Hey, why are there so many people?"
The emperor turned around and said somewhat displeasedly. Who is it...Qiu Che?"
The visitor walked in from the path left by the eunuchs and bowed calmly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen..."
Everyone's eyes followed ? Together with the emperor, they turned twice around the "Qiu Che" who was kneeling on the ground and the "Qiu Che" who had just arrived. They were all stunned:
Why are there two Qiu Che? !
Unexpectedly, the new arrival Qiu Che also looked surprised when he saw the person kneeling on the ground: "Brother?"
After hearing this, Qiu Chudong next to him finally couldn't hold it back and knelt down with a plop.
...
"So," Li Shi said with a serious look, "you came here to find your father?"
Qiu Che nodded. "I heard that my father came to the Royal Garden with His Majesty and other nobles. I was afraid that my father would be timid and bump into Long Yan, so I followed him."
Li Shi then raised his hand and pointed at Qiu, who was still trembling. Chudong: "Is this your father?"
Qiu Che nodded again.
Li Shi pointed at Qiu Zhe, who was covered with a thin blanket to avoid hurting the noble man's eyes, "Is this your brother?"
Qiu Che continued to nod: "Exactly."
Li Shi looked around and saw that from the two of them, There was something different between his eyebrows.
Especially the temperament, you can tell that they are two people at a glance.
He had heard that the Qiu family had two sons in this generation, but he was not very familiar with Qiu Che, so it was normal for him to admit his mistakes.
Li Shi thought about it and had a terrible headache. He slapped the table and said, "Let's start from the beginning! What's going on!"
"Wei Chen doesn't know either," Qiu Che spread his hands innocently, "To be honest, Wei Chen just went out to use the toilet. Once, when I returned to the banquet, I saw that the others were hesitating when talking to me. I felt strange, so I asked where my father had gone, and then I followed him. "
The queen then asked: "So, Do you know nothing about what happened in the Imperial Garden?"
Qiu Che nodded: "That's right."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Shi.
The other party squinted his eyes, as if thinking: "Can anyone testify to what you said?"
Qiu Che handed over his hands: "There are hundreds of people at the banquet, and some people must have heard what I said - I didn't say anything false, Your Majesty. Just ask."
"Your Majesty," another voice also sounded from outside the wing, "I can testify!"
The voice arrived before anyone arrived.
Wu Yiqi walked in with everyone's gaze on him, walked up to Qiu Che while waving his fan, and gave her a look that said, "What will you do without me?"
Qiu Che restrained his somewhat surprised gaze.
How childish.
Seeing that the other party came over to help her with her alibi after being thrown away by her, Qiu Che couldn't express his disgust, so he just turned his eyes away silently.
Li Shi rubbed his temples. He seemed accustomed to Wu Yiqi's indifferent attitude and didn't care. He asked helplessly: "Where are you from?"
Wu Yiqi said: "Your Majesty, Brother Qiu went to the Gongfang with me. The restroom is right next door, and he just went back to the table one step ahead of me - there is no way he can come to the Imperial Garden again in such a short time, right? "
Fake. "
Qiu Che clearly ran away as soon as he arrived at the palace, anxious to find the princess.
When I returned to the banquet, I felt as if I had forgotten something, but after thinking about it, since I could forget, it shouldn't be important.
Until now, I never thought that there was an unjust partner who was thrown into the palace by me.
She touched the bridge of her nose guiltily.
Seeing that the emperor's expression did not look like he believed him, Wu Yiqi continued: "Besides, the point now is not where Brother Qiu comes from, right? Shouldn't we ask what happened to these two people?"
"A deceiver is guilty of spreading rumors. Princess, a person who gathers people for promiscuity is really..." Wu Yiqi said meaningfully, "You are very courageous."
Li Shi took advantage of the situation and vented his disgusting anger on the two people kneeling on the ground, saying: " Tell me! What are your intentions?"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!" Qiu Chudong was the first to cry out, "My son Qiu Zhe is usually the most innocent and ignorant person, and there is no way that someone would deliberately frame him! ! Please investigate clearly!"
The queen suddenly called Li Shi softly.
"Your Majesty... I recognize them."
Li Shi frowned and looked at her, but saw that her eyes were fixed on those people who were hanging out with Qiu Zhe.
Because the matter has not yet been found out, several people put on their clothes and knelt in a row in the side room, shivering.
"Do you recognize them?"
"These three maids are... from the palace of Concubine Xian's sister. I have seen them before." The queen whispered, "Those two eunuchs are from the Clothing Bureau."
Li Shi's face suddenly changed. It's half dark again.
After asking around, the person who finally made a fool of himself came from his own harem.
It's simply ridiculous.
Qiu Che sat at the bottom and saw the empress whispering for a moment. The emperor's expression turned bad again, and he guessed that the empress probably recognized those people.
Just at this moment, Fuzi hurried over with the imperial doctor. After checking the pulses of several people present, he stood up and looked around.
Finally, he twirled the ashes in the incense burner in the room with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, these people...were all poisoned by rosemary."
Rosemary, as its name suggests, is a love medicine that can make people become lustful and lose their minds.
Li Shi's eyes widened: "Impossible! That's something from Nanyi. How could it be in the wing of the Imperial Garden!"
The Queen comforted her: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we'll ask you questions first."
Li Shi stared coldly. She glanced at him and said, "You don't need to remind me!"
The queen choked, knowing that the dog emperor was in a bad mood now, so she stopped speaking to get into trouble.
The atmosphere in the wing froze for a moment, only Qiu Che lowered his head slightly, hiding the flash of smile in his eyes.
Everything was just as she expected.
In the previous life, these palace maids took Li Qingwu into this wing to change clothes.
The two eunuchs were responsible for taking away the Poria cocos from her side for other reasons.
As for Fufeng, I don't know where he is. Anyway, he is not with Li Qingwu at this time.
Li Qingwu smelled the rosemary incense in the incense burner and went out dizzy, but the others had long since disappeared.
According to the plan of the Qiu family and his son, Qiu Zhe would appear at this time and cook the cooked rice under the pressure of Li Qingwu.
But there was an accident in her previous life, Qiu Che drank the wine, and she arrived at the Royal Garden much later than planned in Qiu Chudong.
That's why I bumped into Li Qingwu who was also drugged on the roadside, groping and stumbling around, and casually entered a nearby room.
And if Li Qingwu could figure it out on his own in this life, it was naturally an accident.
She did not drink the glass of wine with rosemary in it for Qiu Zhe, but Qiu Zhe was pinned down by her at the banquet and had no chance to escape. Naturally, it was too late to go out to find someone.
Only then did Li Qingwu run out again alone.
In her previous life, she didn't understand why no one could be seen in such a huge imperial garden.
I'm still thinking, is it possible that Qiu Chudong's abilities have reached this point? Not only can you put rosemary incense in the wing of the Imperial Garden, but can you also keep everyone away?
But this is obviously contrary to Qiu Chudong's original intention of letting everyone know that "the princess was defiled".
Now it seems that there is a high probability that it was a mistake.
The queen had an affair with Yuan Fu, the commander of the Jinwu Guards, and dismissed the people around her in advance.
Qiu Che discovered that Li Qingwu was still using traditional Chinese medicine, so he decisively chose to send Li Qingwu out of the palace. First, there were too many people in the palace to solve the problem of traditional Chinese medicine.
Second, she also needs to pack up the middlemen who harmed Li Qingwu's traditional Chinese medicine and send them to the wing.
Then he suddenly appeared in front of everyone and acted as an unsuspecting bystander in the eyes of the emperor.
The plan took almost no effort.
Because the medicine was placed in advance, and Qiu Chudong planned and reported the rape, she was only responsible for kidnapping people and sending them into the room, making the scene as chaotic as possible.
And all this was completely different from the scene in her previous life just because she drank one less glass of wine.
Qiu Chudong was still crying, saying that he was dazzled and saw the wrong person. He only knew that someone was hanging out here, but he didn't know that the other person turned out to be his son.
"Your Majesty, if I knew that the person inside was my son, how could I go to find your Majesty to catch him? That would be like shooting myself in the foot!" Qiu Chudong pulled Qiu Zhe, who was already stunned, and kowtowed heavily. "Please give me a clear warning from your majesty! Common people have no second thoughts!"
Li Shi's expression became even more ugly because of this.
Do you also know how embarrassing it would be if someone saw your child inside?
Then why don't you think about it, if the one inside is a princess, where should I put my face?
Qiu Chudong was crying here, and the eunuch and palace maid behind him were also crying, saying that they didn't know anything and were brought here after being knocked unconscious. This was the situation when they woke up.
To sum up, if you donât know anything about the matter, itâs up to you, the emperor, to figure it out yourself.
The scene was very chaotic, and at one point it was like crying at a grave.
Li Shi was so angry that his head was about to smoke.
The Queen Mother sat at the top, holding the Buddhist beads in her hand, closing her eyes and reciting "Amitabha".
Qiu Che sat on the chair, looking at his father and brother who were crying with snot and tears with some indifference, without any disturbance in his heart.
Looking at the emperor's hesitant expression, she knew very well that the father and son would not die today.
Such a scandal occurred at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Even if the parties involved were drugged, it would be really shocking if word spread.
There were also the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister's grandson present, so we couldn't kill them all.
In order to calm the matter, the emperor would definitely suppress the matter.
Just like a lifetime ago.
But it doesn't matter.
This is just the beginning.
Qiu Che gently closed his eyes, suddenly stood up, raised his robe and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am also guilty."
Li Shi was so disturbed that his thoughts flew away, and he frowned and looked at her: "What are you doing?
"Is that the first crime of being a son of a man and not being able to take good care of his brother?" She
said solemnly, "The second crime is that I should only have one family member with me on this trip, but my father and brother are all." Entering the palace and causing such a scandal... Even though it was my brother who entered the palace privately, since it has made His Majesty worried, this is the second crime."
She kowtowed firmly and said, "Please take care of me, Your Majesty. For the sake of sincerely admitting my mistake, I will spare the lives of my father and brother."
Li Shi's expression finally softened a bit and he looked at her a few more times.
This kid was quiet, but he was quite sensible and knew how to give him a step down.
Li Shigang was about to speak, but was interrupted fiercely by Qiu Chudong: "No! No! I entered the palace privately! It's a commoner! It's not Zhe'er!"
"Qiu Che, what are you talking about! Shut up!"
No one else could hear . came out, but as the mastermind of the whole thing, he immediately discovered Qiu Che's substitution technique.
His private entry into the palace and Qiu Zhe's private entry into the palace are completely different in nature.
If he entered the palace privately, it could also be said that he sneaked in because he missed having his two sons in the palace.
But if Qiu Zhe did such a bold thing at such a young age, he would dare to sneak into the palace today, and he would dare to sneak into the emperor's palace tomorrow if he was not safe.
Qiuzhe is still so young and has to embark on an official career!
In the past, the emperor didn't know about Qiu Zhe's existence, so he could naturally plan for Qiu Che to die and make way for Qiu Zhe.
But now that he knows it, and he knows it in this way, he will definitely be deeply impressed by Qiu Zhe, "the brother who looks very similar to Qiu Che but is very ridiculous."
Naturally, the plan to make Qiu Che give way would be impossible to implement, and he would be discovered accidentally.
Now it's just that he has been seen by the emperor, how can he be given such a name!
This is a stigma and will be ridiculed for a lifetime. It is impossible to allow him to enter the officialdom again!
Qiu Chudong almost shouted in a broken voice: "How could--"
Li Shi was so loud that his breath was choked in his throat. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he picked up a teapot on the table and threw the wine out: "Shut up!"
Qiu Chudong was hit with a teapot and his head was badly bruised. He screamed and trembled all over, but he did not dare to say any more.
The crying behind him also stopped.
Only Qiu Che knelt straight and looked straight ahead without changing his expression.
Li Shi stared at Qiu Chudong gloomily for a moment, and suddenly said: "What he said makes sense."
"Qiu Aiqing, if it is really what you said...then how do you explain why your father is wearing the boy's clothes?" Where are the clothes?â
