Chapter 586 - 586 Cute Little Black Eggs, The Emperor’s Doting (2)
“Your Highness…”
Nangong Li glared at him. The minister cowered and obediently led him to the torture room.
In the dark torture room, Nangong Li saw the miserable-looking Queen.
The Queen was beaten into a pig’s head. Nangong Li did not recognize her at first glance, but Nangong Li recognized her clothes. They were the fabric he had personally chosen for his mother and were specially made for her to wear when she went out. They looked no different from most fabrics on the market, but the workmanship was more exquisite.
Her clothes were stained with blood and stains, making it difficult to recognize its original appearance. However, he had personally bought this material, so he could still recognize it.
Nangong Li walked over and squatted down to look at her. The Queen also saw Nangong Li and tears fell. She squeezed out a hoarse voice from her burning throat. “Li’er…”
This familiar gaze and tone! It was his mother! How could this be? What exactly happened? How did his mother become like this? Why was she captured as a prisoner?
“Your Highness?” The minister of the Dali Temple saw that his expression was not right and called him weakly.
Nangong Li resisted the urge to execute everyone here. He composed herself and said, “What crime did you say she committed just now?”
The minister said, “She assassinated the Emperor and beat up the madam and the little masters of the Helian family.” After a pause, he added, “She pretended to be the Queen.”
How was this an imposter? She was clearly the real Queen! However, Nangong Li could not tell the truth.
Firstly, the Queen had been grounded by the Emperor. She shouldn’t have left the manor without permission. If others found out that she had disobeyed the imperial edict, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Secondly, the Queen Manor had just fallen out with the Helian family. At this critical juncture, she had beaten up the Madam and the little masters of the Helian family. It was hard to guarantee that no one would suspect that she wanted to kill someone to vent her anger.
Thirdly, the Emperor had just grounded her, and she had beaten him up. Was she saying that she was dissatisfied with the Emperor’s punishment… and wanted to rebel?
Lastly, her appearance was really a little embarrassing. If word got out, she would probably become the laughing stock of the entire world.
After weighing the pros and cons, Nangong Li decided to hide her identity as the Queen for the time being. Nangong Li gave the Queen a comforting look, then stood up indifferently and looked at the minister of the Dali Temple. “I’ll take this person away. I’ll interrogate her personally.”
“This…” The minister hesitated.
Nangong Li asked coldly, “Why? I want someone from your Dali Temple. Could it be that I can’t get her?”
The minister smiled awkwardly. “Your Highness, you’ve misunderstood. I just think that there’s no need for you to do such a small matter yourself. Someone like her will confess after three rounds of torture.”
Three rounds of torture. Would the Queen be alive then?!
Nangong Li wished he could strangle him to death!
The minister of the Dali Temple felt the commandery prince’s killing intent. He rubbed his nose resentfully. Did he say something wrong? This crazy woman was a little stubborn. He had to interrogate her properly, but she would not be stubborn for long. Three rounds were enough. He was confident!
Nangong Li said indifferently, “This concerns the Queen Manor and my grandfather. I have to interrogate her personally. If Grandpa asks, just tell him the truth. I was the one who took her away. I’ll give Grandpa an explanation for the truth.”
At this point, it was not good for the minister not to throw this hot potato out.
Nangong Li turned around to help the Queen. When he turned around, he saw the Dali Temple looking at him with their mouths agape. He coughed lightly and retracted his hand. He said to the injured Queen, “Get up and follow me back to the Queen Manor. You better tell me the truth. Otherwise, I won’t be so easy to talk to.”
The Queen supported herself against the wall and stood up trembling. Her entire body was in so much pain that it felt like it was falling apart. She accidentally staggered.
The minister kicked her butt! Then, the minister of the Dali Temple shouted, “What are you waiting for! Hurry up and follow His Highness!”
The Queen fell to the ground!
Nangong Li covered his eyes.
… .
After the “assassin” was captured, Yu Shaoqing, the Emperor, and the others also left the messy alley.
Yu Shaoqing carried his wife into the carriage. His Ah Shu must have been frightened after such a big thing happened.
The three little black eggs were held in the arms of the Emperor, Eunuch Wang, and the coachman.
The Emperor originally thought that Dabao and Er’bao were two brothers, but he did not expect them to have another brother.
Whether it was the royal family or the commoners, it was not easy to raise a child. To be able to give birth to all three of them safely and raise them until they were white… Uh, black and fat, it could be said that the heavens were blessing them.
The Emperor looked at the child in his arms. Of course, he did not know that he was carrying Er’bao.
Er’bao first pretended to faint and fell asleep. His little face was round, and his two fat lumps were trembling. His little eyebrows were a little thick, and he was heroic. His eyelashes looked like two butterfly wings, casting… Uh, it was too dark to see any shadows. His little nose and mouth were very beautiful.
The Emperor could no longer remember the last time he carried such a young child. When Nangong Li returned to Nanzhao, he was already four years old and had passed the most ignorant and cute age. He had watched the Queen and the Little Commandery Princess grow up, but the two of them were thin when they were young. They were weightless in his arms and were afraid of breaking them.
This child was really good-looking. He wondered if their mother was also a little fat child when she was young.
Xiaobao started snoring evenly.
Dabao, who was in Eunuch Wang’s arms, and Xiaobao, who was in the coachman’s arms, also began to snore.
Eunuch Wang’s heart was about to melt. Oh my god, how could there be such a cute little black egg in this world? I really want to steal one!
Yu Shaoqing settled his wife down and alighted from the carriage to carry the little black eggs. Eunuch Wang turned around and refused to give it to him!
Yu Shaoqing : “…”
At this moment, Helian Beiming and Yan Jiuchao’s carriage passed by. Seeing Yu Shaoqing, the Emperor, and the others, Yu Gang stopped the carriage first. Shadow Thirteen walked behind him. When he stopped, Shadow Thirteen had no choice but to stop the carriage.
“What’s wrong?” Helian Beiming asked.
“The Emperor and Second Master,” Yu Gang said in surprise.
Helian Beiming lifted the curtain and looked in the direction Yu Gang had shown. He really saw the Emperor and Yu Shaoqing. The three little fellows were also there. They were in the arms of the Emperor and the others and seemed to have fallen asleep.
“I’m getting out,” Helian Beiming said.
“Aye!” Yu Gang went around to the back of the carriage, opened the back door of the carriage, pulled down the wooden board, and let the wheelchair slide down.
Helian Beiming pushed his wheelchair forward and bowed to the Emperor. “Your Majesty.” He turned to look at Yu Shaoqing. “Second Brother.”
Yu Shaoqing snatched the little black egg over. Eunuch Wang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared! Yu Shaoqing carried Xiaobao into the carriage.
“Give it to me.” Helian Beiming reached out to the coachman.
The coachman gave him Dabao. Now, only the little black egg in the Emperor’s arms was left.
“Your Majesty,” Helian Beiming said softly.
The Emperor turned his face away with Er’bao in his arms. Don’t call me, I don’t want to give it to you.
Yan Jiuchao alighted from the carriage.
Of course, the Emperor already knew that they were the sons of Yan Jiuchao and the daughter of the Helian family. Previously, in the throne room, the Emperor had felt that Yan Jiuchao’s eyebrows were familiar. At that time, he was in a fit of anger and did not think too much about it. Now that he looked at Yan Jiuchao and then at the little fellow in his arms, he finally understood what that familiar feeling was.
Yan Jiuchao strolled over. He stood in front of the Emperor and glanced at Er’bao in his arms. “Do you like him?”
The Emperor looked at the little fellow in his arms and could not help but nod. “Yes.”
“It’s useless even if you like him.” Yan Jiuchao carried the little fellow over and said, “Mine.”
The Emperor, who was caught off guard: “…”
