Zhou Qinghe’s expression became more and more embarrassed. Zhou Shihui was so angry that tears streamed down her face. She said resentfully to Zhou Qinghe, “Mother, why didn’t you tell me that those poems were stolen by you?” If she had known earlier that those poems were stolen, she would not have lost so much face. Zhou Qinghe could not even say a word of explanation after being questioned like this by his daughter. Zhou Shihui was really furious. How could she have become like this step by step? Originally, she thought that after returning to Chang ‘an, she would be the high and mighty young lady of the High Duke’s public house.. Later on, when her mother returned, she had the position of princess, and was on equal footing with Fu Lu. Even later on, because of Zhou Qing and his talent and fame, she was even envied by the daughters of Luoyang. She was unwilling to be the person she mocked earlier. That’s right, she could force the Hui Lin Emperor to acknowledge her as a princess. As long as she became a princess, her mother could enter the palace legally. With the relationship between her mother and the Hui Lin Emperor in the past, let’s see who would dare to mock her. Zhou shihui said, “Mother, actually, I know that you want to make my name known. You want my biological father to acknowledge my daughter!” Zhou Qinghe did not quite understand what Zhou Shihui was saying. Before Zhou Qinghe could figure it out. Zhou shihui said, “Mother, why are you still hiding something for your biological sister who really stole your life? If it weren’t for Empress Zhou stealing your life,. I wouldn’t have fallen into such a miserable situation in the church! You Don’t have to steal other people’s poems just to make your daughter famous and not be laughed at!” Zhou Shihui pointed at Empress Zhou and said, “Empress Zhou, you stole more than 20 years of my mother’s life. You took my mother’s place and received my father’s favor. You made my mother pregnant, but you could only live among the people! “If you didn’t steal my mother’s favor, I wouldn’t have ended up in the church and suffered so much!” Zhou Qinghe opened his eyes wide and said to Zhou shihui, “Shut Up!” Zhou shihui said, “Mother, you care about the sisterhood, but has the Empress ever cared about it? Look at the Martial Duke’s public house now, what are you still hiding from father!” When Zhou Shihui said this, the entire court was in an uproar. Especially the word ‘father’, which caused everyone to be extremely concerned. However, Qiao Jinniang was so embarrassed for Zhou Shihui that she could dig out a garden! Zhou Qing slapped Zhou Shihui in the face. “Shut up, your father is not the Emperor!” Zhou Shihui took the slap and pointed at Prince Huai and Princess Huai, Li Lingling. “Prince Huai and Princess Huai have said that I am father’s daughter!” The Hui Lin Emperor Glared at the couple and said, “Why didn’t I know that I have such a daughter outside?” Li Lingling was so scared that she knelt on the ground, “Father... i. . .” The Huilin Emperor also knelt down, his hands clenched into fists. Zhou Qinghe said to the Huilin emperor, “Shihui was just bewitched by the couple. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Moreover, what Shihui said just now was also right. Your Majesty, Actually, the woman who talked about the situation of the world with you in the garden of Ten Thousand Flowers was me, not my sister. It was my sister who took my identity!” The Hui Lin Emperor said, “I have always known that the woman in the garden of Ten Thousand Flowers was you. “I had known the Empress Long before Imperial Consort Zhou’s funeral. “When I saw you, I knew that you were not Zhou Qingxiu. I only did not expose you for the sake of the Empress!” Zhou Qinghe collapsed to the ground upon hearing that. “How could this be? Zhou Qingxiu, you knew long ago. Were you just going to watch me misunderstand?” Empress Zhou said, “Elder sister, did you listen to my explanation? Twenty years ago, I told elder sister that I was not your substitute. However, elder sister wholeheartedly believed that younger sister could only enter the palace in your place. There was no point in explaining anymore. It was just that she did not expect that even now, elder sister was still stubborn. Back then, when you used my identity to talk to the emperor, I did not blame you for stealing my identity. Now, you keep saying that I took your identity. It’s simply ridiculous!” Empress Zhou no longer wanted to pursue the matter of why Zhou Qing he used her name to talk to the Hui Lin Emperor. However, this had always been a knot in Empress Zhou’s heart. Back then, Zhou Qing and the Hui Lin Emperor were talking about political matters. A moment of carelessness could result in death. However, Zhou Qing he used her name, Zhou Qingxiu. Upon hearing this, Zhou Qinghe fell to the ground and said, “In the end, you still deliberately looked at me as a joke! Zhou Qingxiu, you and I are sisters. Is this how you treat your sister?” Empress Zhou snorted coldly. “You were the one who said it first, disregarding the feelings of sisters.” Seeing the mocking eyes of others, Zhou Shihui shook her head repeatedly. How could it be like this? How could it be like this? Right now, she did not even have the last straw to save her life. The mother and daughter pair would definitely become a joke in Luoyang city in the future. Zhou Siming’s brows were tightly knitted. If that was the case, his last hope to save Zhou Shihui had been destroyed. He did not know what to do! Qiao Jinniang saw the expression of Zhou Shihui and her daughter and smiled faintly. “Zhou Qinghe, you are not the only one who has stolen her poems. There is also the human life you are carrying!”! Zhou qinghe shouted hysterically, “Crown princess, stop talking nonsense. What human life?” Qiao jinniang said, “Eighteen years ago, in the winter, you threw the daughter of the former king of Wu into the latrine pit and attempted to kill her. Eighteen years later, in the enclosure, you arranged to kill Xie Xiangxiang!” Zhou Qing and rebuked angrily, “Crown Princess, you don’t have to add insult to injury to refute Fu Lu, do you? The evidence of Fu Lu killing Xie Xiangxiang is all here!” “What a coincidence, I have witnesses too.”Qiao Jinniang ordered someone to bring Qian Yi in. When Qian Yi entered, he carried a strong fragrance. He held the horsetail whisk and bowed to the hui lin emperor, “This humble one greets your majesty, the Empress.” Zhou Qing and saw that Qian Yi’s appearance had not changed much. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, “You’re alive, you’re actually still alive!” Qian Yi gave a dao name and said, “Qing he, it was I who let you down back then. It’s just that there’s a debt and there’s a debtor. It’s not enough that you killed my daughter, why did you kill Xie Xiangxiang?” Zhou Qing said, “I didn’t!” Qian Yi told the story of his youth in public, and then he told Xie Xiangxiang’s mistake, “Zhou Qing he, you probably don’t know that Xie Xiangxiang is not my daughter.” Zhou Qing said, “Xie Xiangxiang’s death and Your Daughter’s death have nothing to do with me!” Lu Chen said, “Does the Zhou family still have the Tai Bai Mountain tiger skin that was given to them by the late Emperor?” Lu Chen also wanted to show Qiao Jinniang the Taibai Mountain Tiger Skin in the palace. Only then did he know that the late Emperor had given the largest piece of tiger skin to concubine Zhou. As concubine Zhou was filial, she simply let the late emperor give it to the martial Duke’s public house. Zhou Qing he’s face turned black. Second Master Zhou came out and said, “That Taibai mountain tiger skin has always been kept in the storeroom.” Lu Chen looked at the Minister of justice and said, “Second uncle, are you serious? Why Don’t you ask someone from the Ministry of Justice to check in the storeroom of the Zhou residence?” Second Master Zhou’s expression changed. “Zhou Qing he! Did you take the Taibai Mountain Tiger Skin?” Zhou Qing he bit his lip and said, “No, the Zhou Manor’s tiger skin has nothing to do with me!” At this moment.., li Yun came out from the side and said, “Speaking of the Taibai Mountain Tiger Skin, my cousin, Miss Fu, recently said that she received the Taibai Mountain Tiger Skin bestowed by Princess Yuquan. She even brought the Taibai Mountain Tiger Skin to show off to her relatives...”
