I'm spoiling my uncle

Chapter 174 Darkroom Interrogation
The dark room of the palace.

In this scorching summer, it is extremely gloomy and cold.

Luo Li approached slowly with heavy steps. A woman dressed as a court lady was chained, her dress was clean and tidy, her face was plain, and her hair was messy.

She opened her dull eyes and looked at Luo Li who was gradually approaching.

Luo Li sat down on the chair, and cast her sharp eyes on the maid.

Xiao Qi turned on the lamp, and the room suddenly lit up.

"Say, who ordered you?"

The short cool words echoed non-stop, making the cold dark room even colder to the bone.

The palace maid kept shaking and said tremblingly, "It's Concubine Yun."

Hearing this, Luo Li looked at her sharply. Although the result was expected, she never expected it to be so smooth.

Recruited so quickly, she interrogated without breaking a sweat.

"Tell me more."

The palace lady seemed to be very scared, but her logic was very clear. She explained the matter obediently: "Since Concubine An entered the palace, Concubine Yun has held a grudge in her heart. Concubine An only dotes on the harem, and the emperor has never looked at Concubine Yun again. She and the other concubines never favored her again, until Concubine An became pregnant, Concubine Yun Guifei had a chance to regain her favor."

She gasped for a while, and continued: "Concubine Yun Gui accidentally learned that the emperor intended to make Concubine An's unborn son the crown prince, and she didn't even know if the baby in her belly was a son, so she was extremely anxious and terrified. Carefully designed to get rid of Anpin's child."

Luo Li's face was gloomy, and she was breathless like a dark cloud. She said coldly: "Go on, how did you murder the dragon's heir?"

The palace maid was already drenched in sweat, and the look of panic on her face gradually subsided: "Concubine An Gui bribed Imperial Physician Liu, and first said that Concubine An's pregnancy was unstable because the emperor rested in the Anhe Palace every night and was not temperate. Go to the Huanyi Bureau and soak Anpin's clothes in water containing a lot of musk every day. Anpin smells the musk day and night without knowing it. Can't keep it."

Luo Li clasped her hands tightly, feeling extremely sad in her heart. She stepped into the Anhe Palace a few times, and was so close to her, but she didn't know Musk. For the first time, she felt that she was too helpless.

She tried her best to calm her heart, and cast her eyes on Xiaoqi: "Is everything written?"

Xiao Qi picked up the rice paper full of words and handed it to her. After reading it carefully, she said lightly, "Take it and let her sign it."

Xiao Qi agreed, and when she walked in front of the maid, she was already slumped against the wall, her eyes were empty and she was mechanically signing letters and making deposits.

Luo Li got up, straightened her dress, and then said indifferently: "Stay here and live well, otherwise don't blame this concubine for being cruel, and I will mention you when I need to testify in the future."

The palace maid looked at Luo Li in horror, the faint light reflected on her body like a layer of cold brilliance, which made people suddenly fearful.

The dark room returned to its deathly silence.

In the study room, Xiaoqi pushed the door open and entered, Chu Yi raised his head and asked, "Have you recruited them all? Have you signed the painting?"

Xiao Qi nodded, "Yes."

"Then back off."

Xiao Qi didn't move, but asked: "My lord, once you meddle in the matter of the harem, I'm afraid you will get involved even more, have you thought it through?"

Chu Yi put down the scroll, his eyes gleaming with loneliness: "How can I let her take risks in the harem alone."

Xiao Qi stared at him in astonishment, as if she didn't recognize him: "Prince, as long as she acts like a baby to you, will you compromise? When did you take care of this harem matter?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "I have to stay with her."

Xiaoqi was dumbfounded.

He waved his hand at Xiaoqi, and looked out of the window intently, not knowing what he was looking at.
