Chapter 092: Concubine Shu

Beihua has recently been rumored again, all because of the Midyear Festival sacrifice.

In the middle of the year, the people of the world celebrate the festival as usual, but the palace is not peaceful.

The Queen Mother did not go to worship due to illness and did not attend the ceremony, which ushered in everyone's criticism.

At the sacrificial ceremony, it was rumored that a lonely soul was born and frightened everyone, and there were hundreds of people who could prove it.

Not only are there rumors in the palace, but there are also people in the rivers and lakes who are implicated in watching the play. After calming down for a few days and investigating the case, there was still no result, the emperor refused to make a conclusion easily, and the queen mother decided that it was the soul of Jade Bird Lake, and killed a historian for this.

The historian was honest and stubborn, and truly recorded the situation at the time of the sacrifice, and added a few rumors of the times: on the day of the sacrifice, the Empress Xue did not participate, and the soul of the former emperor refused to be at peace, so he made trouble. There are rumors among the people, which have caused the cause of the emperor's death to be explored, and there are thousands of people who have tried to strive that the emperor did not die naturally. At that time, the government was unstable and the people were uneasy, and the emperor was thoroughly investigating the matter......

Because the Queen Mother was angry, she killed the historian and temporarily blocked the rumors in the palace, but it made more people pay attention to this matter.

Liu Li sighed at this, buried the historian, and specially issued a law: The historian cannot be killed!

As a result, the relationship between the Queen Mother and Liu Li deteriorated day by day.

The Queen Mother was arrogant and did not kill historians, but killed many talented people, all of whom were supporters of Liu Li. As a result, many people paid more and more attention to this matter, and Liu Li and Concubine Shu were even more so.

On July 20, the weather was a little hot, and Liu Li met Concubine Shu who was enjoying the flowers in the Imperial Garden.

I saw Concubine Shu alone in the flower pavilion, quietly enjoying the scenery, Liu Li was ready not to disturb, but was stopped by Concubine Shu.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Liu Li saluted Concubine Shu and replied: "The weather is very good, I came out to enjoy the scenery, I don't know if it disturbed Concubine Shu to enjoy the scenery?"

"That's not true, no matter how beautiful this scenery is, it's no fun to enjoy it alone, it's better to say a few words to the emperor!"

"Since you feel bored alone, why doesn't Concubine Shu refuse to bring some people, or does she miss her second brother?" Liu Li understands that this Concubine Shu will not appear here for no reason, after all, she has been closed and not seen from the world.

Concubine Shu smiled, "The emperor doesn't say this, I just want to talk to you." Frankly speaking, I'm just waiting for the emperor here!"

"My father has always said that he likes you to be straightforward and generous, and it hasn't changed for so long. If my father has a spirit in the sky, he must be quite emotional and gratifying!"

Concubine Shu smiled coldly, "Who in this harem can be as frank as me? Who can be as lonely as me? Your father left early, he was only in his twenties at that time, do you really think he is seriously ill?"

Liu Li's heart is like ice, and he has heard such words a thousand times recently. "Concubine Shu, what do you mean?"

"I've been bored and lonely, you know. I have no one around me all the year round, and I don't have anything interesting to do. Therefore, I have always liked to study some old things. Recently, there have been some rumors in the palace, and I have reopened the records and obtained many interesting things!"

Liu Li looked around and asked suspiciously, "What the hell is going on?"

Concubine Shu laughed a few times, her eyebrows and eyes full of sadness and resentment. She had a lot of strength in her hands, and her resentment had nowhere to vent, so she picked a flower casually.

"The emperor really cares about this matter, but I don't know what will happen if you get the truth!"

Liu Li was stunned, "The truth?do you know the truth?!"

"Hehe!" Concubine Shu sneered for a while, and said while pulling the petals: "Do you know? Why did I end up like this? Let the Queen Mother take power, and I have no status at all, and I can't meet my son yet." I can't blame anyone, it's all your father's early death!"

Liu Li was startled, and watched in a daze as Concubine Shu fiercely pulled the flowers in her hands, dyeing her palms bright red. The bright red caught the eye, and the juice dripped on her hands, but it seemed to soak into his heart.

"Do you think I'm willing? Of course I'll look into what was so strange back then. Do you know what I've found? Your father and my husband really didn't die a normal death!"

Liu Li's eyes widened, and he took a step forward, staring at Concubine Shu tightly. "You, what did you say?"

"Don't you believe it? I've been investigating for 20 years, and if you hadn't dared to make trouble with the Queen Mother recently, if you hadn't dared to look into the case back then, I would never have told you. However, you seem to have a little bit of an emperor's appearance, so you ......"

"So, you're here to wait?"

"Yes, I'm just waiting for you to pass by, and I'm going to tell you the truth. Concubine Shu's expression became more and more fierce, and every word seemed to jump out of the abyss. "Back then, if I had been there, maybe I wouldn't have let that slut get away!"

"Who's a slut?"

Concubine Shu glanced at Liu Li, with an inexplicable sympathy and sadness. "You... You should call her that! In the whole world, you are the only one who has the right to hate her, because she is not the only emperor who has murdered her!"

Liu Li was confused, but he also knew that what Concubine Shu said was not a trivial matter, nor was it groundless.

"Then you ......"

"I have endured humiliation for so many years, and I have been waiting for the Queen Mother to fulfill her promise to send me out of the palace so that my son and I can live well in the fiefdom. However, I have been waiting for more than ten years, and I have not waited. She couldn't see her son, and if her son was disobedient, she wouldn't let me see my son. Why?"

"Calm down, what the hell are you trying to say?"

Concubine Shu threw away the flower in her hand, grabbed Liu Li, and begged: "I beg you, I beg you to let me go out of the palace to see my son! The Queen Mother's worries are unnecessary, how can a person like me be suitable to do those things? I just want to live a good life!"

Liu Li frowned, and asked suspiciously, "You let me let you out of the palace, why do you have to wait until now?"

"Because you didn't have the power or responsibility before, you completely listened to the Queen Mother, and she wouldn't agree. Moreover, I have always known that I need to have chips to ask people to do things! For so many years, I have been increasing my chips every day, and now I have finally waited for this moment!"

"You know I'm going to look into the case, so you think-"

Concubine Shu's eyes widened, and she said happily: "Yes! I just want to make a deal with you! I will tell you the cause of the death of the former emperor, and you will let me go out of the palace to see my son, okay?"

Liu Li was slightly stunned, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and looked at Concubine Shu suspiciously. "Is the cause of my father's death really strange?

"You don't have to worry about it, you just have to say yes or no!"

Liu Li tried hard to calm down and stared at Concubine Shu, "You miss your second brother, I understand, but you can't joke with your father." I can help you get out of the palace, but ......"

"Just say yes, don't say anything. I'll write back a letter, and when I see my son, I'll tell you everything I know. This matter has to be arranged in secret, it must be fast, I spend every day on the sword, I can't wait any longer!"

Liu Li sighed and wanted to ask more, but Concubine Shu had already run away without looking back.

Looking at the back of the woman leaving, her trembling voice and sad look flashed in her mind, Liu Li couldn't help but soften her heart, and she couldn't stand the sadness.

Although the case has just been revealed, and although everything is still unknown, Liu Li has already felt the momentum of the truth leading to the storm, which is full of darkness, desolation, appalling and terrifying.

The bizarre death of the former emperor had to be investigated, and no one paid attention to personal emotions.

"Can I trust you?"

Hearing Liu Li's exclamation, Gao Hai walked over.

"Your Majesty, I think you can help Concubine Shu. ”

"Why?"

"Because she must have what we want, and a person who has been silent for twenty years suddenly opens her mouth to make a deal with you, and that is of course to grasp something extremely important. Now, everyone is curious about the cause of the emperor's death, and many people are joking about this, so it's better for us to get the evidence earlier and return the truth to the world!"

"But I... After all, it's my father, and my mother has been pressuring me a lot lately, how do you want me to choose?"

"I know that the emperor is worried about the queen mother, and he is also worried about the safety of those talented people. I've already let Feng Xing do it, let those people disappear or be cautious, you don't have to worry too much about this!"

"So what do you mean... Do you also believe that the cause of the death of the former emperor is a bit strange? Can it be concluded just by a sacrificial disturbance? Then I have no reason to persuade the queen mother!"

"Not only is there a reason for the turmoil, but I also believe that the emperor will not die young for no reason. Moreover, the person who was in charge of the life of the former emperor also revealed the truth, the first emperor did die strangely, and there is no reason why even the Tianshan Snow Lotus can't be treated!"

"Then check it out!" Liu Li sighed, giving up the last trace of struggle. "In addition, you keep an eye on Concubine Shu and protect her if necessary. I hope that today's events will not be known. I also hope that Concubine Shu can get her wish and see the second brother!"

"Yes, the emperor is kind and benevolent, and I believe that Concubine Shu will be grateful. For so many years, she has been under house arrest in the harem, and she has never even been at the palace banquet. Today's meeting must be deliberate, I hope she is also fully prepared!"

Liu Li nodded and walked slowly towards the outside of the garden. The scenery seemed to change, though he knew it was changing every day.

"This year is a stormy year!"

Gao Hai wanted to speak and stopped, silently following behind Liu Li, he thought in his heart: Big things happened in Beihua one after another, causing the emperor to be depressed and sad, what should I do to make him happier?
