Tian's little cook

Chapter 824 Assassination
After burning incense, Empress Li said to Li Zhijing: "Brother, you go out first, I have something to say to Rui'er."

"Okay." Li Zhijing nodded and walked out. Qing Zhu followed behind him and closed the door of the Buddhist hall.

Empress Li was still kneeling on the worship mat, looking at Huangfu Ye's spirit seat in front of her, "Rui'er, do you remember how long your elder brother has been gone?"

"Brother has been gone for five years." Huangfu Rui lowered his voice, pretending to be sad.

Empress Li didn't stand up, Huang Furui naturally also knelt on the worship mat beside her.

"That's right, Ye'er has been away from me for five years." Empress Li smiled with tears in her eyes, "I still remember when he left Beijing that he said he would return safely and that he wanted to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by himself. , but sweet-scented osmanthus cakes are available every year, but my Ye'er never came back."

Huangfu Rui looked at the desk, and sure enough, he found a stack of osmanthus cakes.

"Mother, take care of yourself. Eldest brother has always been filial to you. I definitely don't want to see you so sad now."

"But after Ye'er left, I couldn't laugh anymore." Empress Li closed her eyes, "Because Ye'er was killed by someone."

Huangfu Rui was startled, and calmly said: "Mother, why did you say that?"

"Ben Gong dreamed about Ye'er, and he cried to Ben Gong in his dream that he was in great pain and was framed by others." Having said that, Empress Li opened her eyes and turned to look at Huang Furui, "Rui Son, have you ever dreamed about your elder brother?"

Huang Furui was a little flustered by her eyes, always felt that Empress Li looked a little weird now.

Huang Furui nodded, his expression as usual, "I have dreamed about my elder brother a few times, but I was worried that telling my mother would make you sad, so I never told my mother. It's all about riding horses and archery with my elder brother when I was young."

"Ye'er has always been a good boy." Empress Li changed the topic and stood up slowly: "He has been obedient and sensible since he was a child, he has been filial to the emperor and this palace, and has taken good care of you brothers and sisters."

"Yes." Huang Furui didn't dare to look directly at Queen Li, and just continued to kneel on the worship mat without moving.

"I still remember that ten years ago after your birth mother Concubine Tong Guifei passed away, Ye'er came to me and told me that Ruier's younger brother was pitiful, and asked me to bring you to Kunning Palace and be with him as a companion."

Huang Furui gritted his teeth when he mentioned what happened ten years ago. Those were the worst days he ever lived, and he never wanted to recall them again.

"Ye'er often said in front of this palace that I should take care of you more and not let other people bully you." Empress Li stood behind Huang Furui staring at the Buddha statue, slowly revealing the knife in her sleeve.

"Eldest brother is very kind to my son, and my son never forgets." Huang Furui stabilized his mind, "Empress, even if elder brother leaves, son will be as filial to you as elder brother."

"Yeah, he is so good to you, but why do you want to hurt him?"

Huang Furui was startled, and just about to turn his head, he found a gust of wind behind him, and instinctively dodged to the side.

When he dodged, Empress Li's knife pierced his arm, Huang Furui felt a sharp pain and fell to the ground.

I wanted to get up, but found that my body suddenly couldn't move.

"Queen, what do you mean?"

"Huangfurui, you killed my son, and I want to avenge him." Empress Li's usual calmness and gentleness were gone, replaced by murderous intent and resentment.

"My son is not"

"You still want to quibble?" Empress Li pulled out the blade and took a step towards him, "I can clearly hear what you said to the emperor, it was you who killed Ye'er!"
