The Queen Mother also opened her eyes, intending to listen to Qiu Che's answer.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, I saw Qiu Che calmly reply: "To answer your Majesty's question, when I left home, my father was wearing these clothes. I always respect my father at home...I never ask too many questions for fear of offending him. My father was bored and thought it was because he was dressed more plainly today and didn't think much about it,"
she said calmly.
Neither did he feel angry because of Qiu Chudong's rebuttal, nor did he become extremely anxious because of Li Shi's questioning.
At the same time, Wu Yiqi stood up again, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this minister can also testify! I saw these two people at the banquet just now. Brother Qiu obviously didn't know that Qiu Zhe was coming. I also asked He is dead."
Qiu Chudong said in panic: "Your Majesty, she is talking nonsense... They are all talking nonsense, Your Majesty, you must not believe them!"
He knelt down and tried to pull off the emperor's clothes, but Qiu Che stretched out his hand. He grabbed half of his shoulders.
"Father," she said solemnly with a little force, "Stop playing nonsense, and stop showing favoritism to your brother... You should tell the truth in front of His Majesty."
Qiu Chudong wanted to retort, and wanted to get rid of her . He wanted to point his hand at her nose and yell: Tell the truth, you big-headed devil, listen to what you are saying first!
But he couldn't move at all.
Thinking of the emperor's sudden violent attack on people, he pursed his lips, and finally lowered his head in despair.
Li Shi stared at Qiu Che for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Very good. Qiu Aiqing, get up."
In fact, the answer to this question is not important.
Because regardless of whether what Qiu Chudong said was true or false, to the emperor, it was smuggling into the palace, and no matter who it was, he was guilty of the same crime.
What matters is Qiu Che's reaction.
The emperor asked this question because he was actually interested in Qiu Che. The emperor didn't care whether he lied or not. He just wanted to see Qiu Che's reaction and listen to what she would say.
And now it is obvious that the emperor who got the answer is satisfied.
Qiu Zhe listened half-comprehensively, and knelt on the ground tremblingly. He didn't understand how Qiu Che could stand up now when they were kneeling together just now.
The confusion in his heart suddenly found its place, and he stared at the back angrily, thinking: It's all Qiu Che's fault!
If she could stand up and take the blame earlier now, wouldn't she be fine with everything?
He really doesnât care about brotherhood at all!
Li Shi stood up with a puff of sleeves and said, "Qiu Aiqing is calm and talented in times of crisis. This case is deeply involved with your father and brother, so why not leave it to you to handle it."
"Before that, these two ââ" Li Shi looked at the Qiu family father and son, frowned and thought for a while, "Qiu Aiqing's father and brother, as well as these palace ladies and chamberlains... were temporarily escorted to Dali Temple to wait until the truth came to light. Leaving without permission."
"Qiu Aiqing, do you have any objection?"
Qiu Che said helplessly, "I don't want to but I have to agree" and said, "
Qiu Chudong and Qiu ." Zhe had some objections, but the emperor ignored them at all.
He nodded with satisfaction.
"Who planted the rosemary incense in the palace, and who planned all of this..." Li Shi paused and said in a deep voice, "I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible."
Oh?
Qiu Che was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would get a job for nothing.
But this was something she had never been able to figure out or find out clearly in her previous life - who in the end cooperated with Qiu Chudong Li Yingwai and drugged Li Qingwu.
She didn't think that Qiu Chudong and Qiu Zhe's straw bag could have the ability to force the dignified princess to this point.
Someone must be helping secretly.
Who is that person? What's the purpose? At that time, she was limited by the power of her connections and had no place to look up, and she didnât know anything about it.
The emperor's request was exactly what she wanted.
So Qiu Che did not refuse. Seeing the emperor hand over a gold medal, he took it and said, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
This is the representative with the highest authority to handle the case. Having a gold medal will make it much easier.
Only a fool would say no.
"Farewell to Your Majesty. Farewell to the Queen Mother and the Empress."
The Queen Mother had been quietly listening to the farce. Before she left, she gave Qiu Che a meaningful smile.
Qiu Che didn't look sideways and pretended not to see it.
After the people left, Qiu Chudong, who was tense all over, relaxed and slumped on the ground with Qiu Zhe, gasping for air.
Qiu Che stood up straight, holding the gold medal just given by the emperor in his hand. He changed his polite and courteous attitude before, walked around the two of them, and wanted to leave expressionlessly.
Qiu Chudong jumped up and shouted: "Stop!"
Qiu Che paused: "Are you calling me?"
Qiu Chudong was furious: "What do you think? What did you just say in front of His Majesty? ? Do you know that you are going to kill your brother?"
"Oh?" Qiu Che tilted his head, "Isn't my brother dead?"
Qiu Chudong: "..."
"What's more, I even knelt down for my father and brother. I beg your Majesty, my father still misses me so much... I am so disappointed."
Qiu Chudong was furious and pointed at her and scolded her: "It's full of nonsense!"
Qiu Che then calmed down, lowered his eyes, and returned to his usual tone. Indifferently: "ââFather, haven't you ever thought that if His Majesty believed what you said, it would actually kill me?"
Qiu Chudong choked, and then looked away with a guilty conscience.
Qiu Che looked at him for a moment, then calmly looked away, patted the dusty gown, and thought, forget it.
I didn't expect him to feel any remorse or guilt.
She stepped out of the wing, and Wu Yiqi followed her.
The father and son of Qiu Chudong were blocked by the Jin Wuwei Hengdao at the door of the wing.
He shouted angrily: "Come back! Qiu Che! Where are you going!!"
Qiu Che looked back and smiled: "Go and investigate the case."
His tone seemed to be saying, find the evidence that will send you to hell.
I couldn't help but shudder in autumn, early winter, and winter.
When he came back to his senses, Qiu Che had disappeared.
...
"Your father, is there something wrong here?" Wu Yiqi quickly followed up, tapped his temple, and said with disdain, "His Majesty said he would imprison them in Dali Temple, Jinwu Guards He just stopped at the door, and he still expects you to fish them out? Does he regard you as the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people in trouble for free?"
Qiu Che thought for a while and nodded: "Maybe there is something wrong."
Wu Yiqi was overjoyed: "Who is there? You said that about your father, and you didn't even refute it. I thought you would defend him unconditionally... Hey, where are you going?"
"Go to the Clothing Bureau to find someone."
Wu Yiqi narrowed his eyes: "Who are you looking for? Didn't you just take over the case? Do you have an idea now?"
Qiu Che paused and looked at him.
"Thank you very much for what happened today, Mr. Wu."
"What's the point?" Wu Yiqi immediately raised the corners of his lips and lowered his voice proudly, "I'm the best at giving false testimony. When I was a child, my grandfather often caught me skipping classes. This is how I lied to him, I have a lot of experience..."
"I mean, if it's okay, please don't follow me."
Wu Yiqi was immediately dumbfounded: "Huh?"
Qiu Che avoided it calmly. He made physical contact and said calmly: "We are on official business to handle the case. Mr. Wu has no identity, so it's better not to follow him."
Wu Yiqi touched his nose: "You kid, just throw it away after use... Okay, okay, I know you care about your reputation. , I made a joke last time and you got impatient... Then I won't follow you."
He looked around, chuckled and whispered, "Wait until we find out which strange person dared to drug him in the royal garden. , just remember to let me know, I have to laugh at him, he is really brave..."
Qiu Che nodded casually: "Okay."
However, I am afraid that the person behind the scenes will be found out by then. Mr. Wu couldn't laugh anymore.
But that was none of her business.
Wu Yiqi watched a good show, and after Chunfeng walked away triumphantly, Qiu Che looked down at the pardon gold medal in his hand.
With this card, you can travel unimpeded anywhere in the capital except where nobles like the emperor live.
It seemed that Li Shi really wanted to know who wanted to embarrass him.
Li Qingwu, who was supposed to be the protagonist, never appeared.
Except for Qiu Che, most of the people present guessed that the eldest princess must have had an accident.
And now she has to be one step ahead of the emperor, solve Li Qingwu's drug problem before the other party becomes suspicious, and then find a reason to explain why the other party has been missing for so long.
Qiu Che glanced in the direction of the palace gate, turned around, and continued walking towards the Clothing Bureau.
...
in a hidden courtyard somewhere in the capital.
As soon as Yaotai arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she happened to see several maids standing in a row in the courtyard, and Yuming had just come out of the room.
Then he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yuming's forehead was covered with sweat. He shook his head and whispered: "The effect of the medicine has not diminished yet. Her condition is too bad, her mood is very... she can't get in at all." , and so are the other maids. "
These maids were the seedlings they had temporarily selected from the people they trusted to cultivate. They thought they could help at least, but they didn't know they would be needed today.
"It's strange," Yaotai frowned, "How can ordinary drugs have such an effect? It's been half an hour and it's not getting better... Did your master tell you what to do?"
Yu Ming still shook his head: "Master didn't do that before. Tell us more, and just ask us to stay here if there is any situation. He said that he will leave the palace as soon as possible to deal with it. I have asked Yu Yan to ask the doctor..."
At this time, there was only one voice - "Doctor. Here we come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Yan dropped from the sky with a concubine-colored sack, and an old man with a gray beard who looked like he was about to foam at the mouth came out of the bag.
Yaotai was dumbfounded: "...here, where did the doctor come from?"
Yu Yan blinked while tying the sack, "He was tied up, can't you see?"
In order not to waste 10 cents on the concubine he bought She even used the sexy sack specifically once when she was tying up the doctor.
She is really a little genius who can do calculations.
Yaotai looked like he was in a daze: "I know they were kidnapped, I mean..."
By kidnapping someone in such a big way, are you really not afraid of the doctor's revenge afterwards?
But Yu Ming was used to it, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and said hurriedly: "Quick, get in quickly! Show me to Mr. and Mrs.!"
Yu Yan said "Oh" and came to help.
The old doctor was dragged in by two people, Yu Ming and Yu Yan, stumbling step by step... Oh no, he was helped in.
As soon as he entered the door, a hard pillow flew towards him, and then a woman's hoarse and feeble voice came out: "I told you not to come near me - everyone go away! Everyone get out!!"
Yu Yan said: "Girl ! Girl, please calm down. Can we ask the doctor to take a look at you before we can prescribe the antidote?"
The old doctor who was still confused said: "..."
These female bandits! Where is please! It's obviously tied up!
After a long time, amid the mess on the floor of the house, the gasping sounds inside the screen gradually calmed down a bit.
Li Qingwu finally responded in a hoarse voice: "...Okay."
After a moment, the old doctor, who had checked his pulse while blindfolded, stood up with a solemn expression and motioned to the two of them in a low voice to go out and talk.
Yu Yan was walking at the end and saw Li Qingwu frowning, his head covered in cold sweat, and he was covering himself tightly with the quilt.
It looked really miserable.
She wiped the other person's sweat with a handkerchief and tucked the corners of the quilt, but before she stood up and left, Li Qingwu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his forearm.
She stopped her subconscious instinct to fight back and turned back.
The girl lying on the couch had pale lips and was breathless. She moved her lips slightly: "Qiu... Mr. Qiu."
Yu Yan blinked, thinking that she had recognized the wrong person in ignorance: "I am not the young master."
"I know," Li Qingwu said harshly, "I want to say, when will Qiu Che... come back?"
