Mr. Zhao tried hard to recall what happened last night. He originally proposed to go to Nancheng Tavern, but Mr. Li seemed unwilling. At first, he didn't think much about it. After all, several of them had also gone to Yanyu Tower before. Moreover, Mr. Li had already agreed.
I left him and went to Nancheng Tavern. Later, Mr. Qin wanted to see Miss Liuyun, so he finally went to Yanyu Tower instead.
After arriving at Yanyu Tower, Mr. Li seemed to have been drinking. He had a good drinking capacity, and he would not fall unconscious after drinking a few more glasses.
However, it seems that he only drank two or three drinks yesterday, but he was so drunk that he couldn't even see the people in front of him clearly, and he didn't know what happened in the end.
After hearing what he said just now, he seemed to understand that these were probably all traps set by Mr. Li.
He always thought that Young Master Li suddenly asked him to come out for a drink because he was appreciated by His Majesty. It seemed that this was not the case. Young Master Li seemed to have deliberately invited him to Yanyu Tower and put medicine in his wine to make him
Stay overnight in Yanyu Building. Early the next morning, various rumors will spread.
Mr. Zhao sighed and understood Mr. Li's intention.
"Sir, rumors are spreading like wildfire. I believe Madam must be very anxious in the house." He said carelessly.
"Go back quickly and send a message to your mother so that she doesn't have to worry too much," Mr. Zhao said.
Therefore, Da Yi returned to the Zhao Mansion and reported Mr. Zhao's situation to his wife. He did not dare to say more just now, fearing that his wife would be even more worried.
After finishing what Mr. Zhao said, he hurried back to Hades' Mansion.
When I went back, I happened to see Mr. Nanfeng in the young master's house.
"Mr. Nanfeng, what happened next?" Mr. Zhao asked.
"Then the medicine took effect and you were helped to the side room by the girls. While they were changing your clothes, I knocked you out. Later I found Mr. Li peeking outside, so I knocked him out too.
I saw that he liked it, so I sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on him and left him in the side room." Nanfeng said.
"I just don't quite understand why Young Master Li did this?" Young Master Zhao said.
"So, Princess Pluto has arranged for someone to investigate, and I believe there will be news soon. Mr. Li should not dare to do this for no reason. After all, you have just been appreciated by His Majesty. How could he plot against you before he can win you over?"
Nanfeng said.
"No wonder I didn't remember anything later. It turned out that he had planned it long ago. In order to cover up myself, I always went to Yanyu Tower with the four of them. Since the accident, we have not contacted each other again. This time
Mr. Li contacted me suddenly, and I thought it was because of the imperial edict. I didn't expect that he actually wanted to plot against me. I did go to Yanyu Tower last night, so naturally some people would believe the rumors." Mr. Zhao said.
"Would Young Master Li do such a thing because he was jealous of the imperial edict?" Nan Feng said.
"I haven't had time to thank Mr. Nanfeng for saving my life. If it weren't for Mr. Nanfeng, I would have been caught this morning. No one would believe me even if I explained." Mr. Zhao said.
"How could you be so careless?" Nanfeng said.
"I have been taking advantage of them before, and I feel a little guilty, so I decided to have a drink with them as an apology. I never expected that it would turn out like this." Mr. Zhao said.
The four of them have always called themselves brothers and sisters over the years, and they are also well-known playboys in the capital. In fact, Mr. Zhao wants to use them to disguise himself, and he has always felt guilty.
Since Young Master Li mentioned drinking first, he thought of taking the opportunity to ask everyone to stay drunk. He just didn't quite understand why Young Master Li was plotting against him mercilessly.
"The rumors outside have not subsided. The bigger the commotion, the better for you." Nanfeng said.
"Am I going to hide in Hades' Mansion these days?" Mr. Zhao asked.
"That's not necessary. After a thorough investigation, you can just go back to the Zhao Mansion." Nanfeng said.
After Mr. Zhao had eaten something, Rushi came over to inform Nanfeng and took Mr. Zhao to the front yard.
After Zhao Gongzi tidied his clothes, he followed Nanfeng to the front.
hospital.
"I've met Princess Hades." Mr. Zhao said.
"Mr. Zhao, you started causing trouble just after you came back." Murong Xi said.
Mr. Zhao said: "Pluto Princess, my subordinates did not expect that such a thing would happen."
"The maid next to Miss Prime Minister had met Mr. Li before, and then Mr. Li organized this party. So, I sent someone to investigate carefully. I think this matter has something to do with Miss Prime Minister." Murong Xi looked at it.
Mr. Zhao said.
Zhao Gongzi was obviously a little surprised. He did not expect that this matter was related to Yue'er, so he asked: "My cousin does know Mr. Li. I really didn't expect that Mr. Li would plot against me because of my cousin."
"I have brought Mr. Li back, and I am about to interrogate him. Why don't we meet him together?" Murong Xi said.
"Okay, I would like to ask him face to face what his intentions are." Mr. Zhao said.
Murong Xi gave Ru Shi a look, and Ru Shi turned around and left the courtyard. A quarter of an hour later, Mr. Zhao was brought in.
After Mr. Li left the Nancheng Tavern, he got on the carriage. But after the carriage stopped, Mr. Li found that the carriage stopped at the gate of Hades Mansion. He was about to ask the coachman, but found that the coachman had already changed.
After getting off the carriage, he was taken into Hades' Mansion by two officers and soldiers.
"You're still not polite when you meet Princess Pluto?" Ru Shi asked.
"I've met Princess Hades." Mr. Li said.
This was the first time that Mr. Li saw Murong Xi at such a close distance. Although Murong Xi was pregnant and did not use any makeup, she was still very beautiful. This made Mr. Li take a few more glances unconsciously.
Rushi saw that Mr. Li was so lustful and quickly reminded him to salute Murong Xi. After Mr. Li came in, he was attracted by Murong Xi's appearance and did not even notice Mr. Zhao sitting beside him.
"Master Li, don't you have anything to say about what happened last night?" Murong Xi asked.
"Last night? What the princess said was a rumor about Mr. Zhao? As far as I know, that is not a rumor." Mr. Li said.
"Brother Li, are you telling the truth?" Mr. Zhao asked.
Mr. Li was startled when he heard Mr. Zhao's voice. He followed the voice and saw that it was indeed Mr. Zhao.
Mr. Li was a little embarrassed and said, "It turns out that Brother Zhao was also invited over by Princess Pluto."
"Brother Li, what do you mean by what you just said?" Mr. Zhao said.
"No, it's not interesting. What I mean is that we did go to Yanyu Tower last night. Brother Zhao was indeed drunk and took two girls to the wing. I just told the truth and I didn't say anything wrong.
Mr. Li said shamelessly.
"Mr. Li, before you made an appointment with Mr. Zhao, have you seen the maid next to Miss Prime Minister?" Murong Xi asked.
"Actually, Cao Min's mother has met the maid next to Miss Prime Minister. We have known each other since we were children. A few days ago, I heard that she was unwell, so my mother asked people around her to ask questions. Because Yue'er was engaged,
It's not appropriate for us to meet again, so I did this." Mr. Li said.
"So what happened last night has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's daughter?" Murong Xi asked.
Mr. Li said: "Of course it has nothing to do with Yue'er. I made an appointment with Brother Zhao and a few of them. We used to go to Yanyulou often. Since Brother Zhao went to Licheng, we haven't had a drink together again. Last night we had leisure time
Nothing happened, so I made an appointment with Brother Zhao and several others to go to Yanyulou together. Brother Zhao was too drunk, so after drinking a few more drinks, he picked two beautiful girls and entered the wing. But I don’t know why, early the next morning
, Brother Zhao disappeared."
"Mr. Li, you said that Mr. Zhao was too drunk and drank too much. But after investigation, I found that someone drugged Mr. Zhao. And the person who drugged you was Mr. Li. How do you explain it?" Murong Xi asked.
"Pluto Princess, how could the common people drug Brother Zhao when they have no grievances against him? Besides, it was always like this when a few of us went to Yanyu Tower before. After Mr. Zhao drank wine, he would take the girl to the wing. Sometimes.
, and will take the girl back to the Zhao Mansion. This was a common thing before, I don’t know why Brother Zhao cares so much this time." Mr. Li said.
"So you don't admit that you drugged Mr. Zhao?" Murong Xi asked.
Mr. Li did not deny it, he just wanted to change the subject. He did not dare to tell the truth to Murong Xi for fear of getting angry.
"The common people have never done this before." Mr. Li said.
"Come here, bring the girl from Yanyu Tower and the servants from the kitchen." Murong Xi said.
When Mr. Li heard this, he felt uneasy, because he had indeed bribed the servants of Yanyu Tower, but he did not expect that Murong Xi would investigate Yanyu Tower so quickly.
After the girl and the servant were brought in, Murong Xi asked: "Who ordered you to put medicine in the cup?"
The servant looked at Mr. Zhao sitting aside and Mr. Li standing in the middle, and said, "It's Mr. Li. He gave the villain five taels of silver and asked him to do this."
"Who is the person who brought you into the wing? The two girls should know, right?" Murong Xi asked.
The girl looked at the two gentlemen, and one of them stood up and said, "It's Mr. Li. After Mr. Li got drunk, he took us into the side room. He gave us some banknotes this morning and asked us to keep quiet.
By the way, there are two other young masters who went to Yanyu Tower with you. They were worried about Mr. Li and even went to the wing to look for him."
"Master Li, have you heard everything?" Murong Xi said.
"Brother Li, why did you frame me?" Mr. Zhao asked.
Mr. Li saw that he could no longer hide the matter, but he did not want to involve Yue'er. He gritted his teeth and said: "Because I am jealous of you. After coming back from Licheng, you have been appreciated by your majesty. How can your majesty return such a favor to someone like you?"
I gave you an official title. I was not convinced, so I came up with this plan. I knew you wouldn’t guard against me, and sure enough, you were fooled very quickly. However, I didn’t expect that the person staying in the wing would become
I.”.z.br
"Master Li, are you telling the truth?" Murong Xi asked doubtfully.
"As for the princess, the common people dare not lie to you." Mr. Li said.
"Come here, drag him out and beat fifty big boards and send them back to the Shangshu Mansion." Murong Xi said.
"Princess, the common people know that they are wrong and should not treat Brother Zhao like this. Can they be exempted from this punishment?" Mr. Li asked.
"Of course not. If no one investigates this matter and Mr. Zhao is dismissed from office, have you ever thought about it for Mr. Zhao?" Murong Xi asked coldly.
