Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

Under the warm winter sun, the bustling Chang'an Street was filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares.

When the Imperial Guards were mobilized, the people on the street made way in an orderly manner, but they no longer knelt down and dared not spy on these imperial officials.

Li Huili walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, following Tao Wenjun.

Tao Wenjun gritted her teeth and whispered to Li Huili, "If you let the Embroidered Uniform Guards run rampant like this, aren't you afraid of offending the person behind them? In the end, we'll all be finished, including Xiaowen!"

"First of all, the Imperial Guards did not run amok; they simply lined up according to the rules and collected evidence from various places."

Tao Wenjun took a deep breath. "These memorials come from Jinzhou and various other places. Could it be that this rumor hasn't actually spread to the capital yet?"

Li Huili shook his head, "No!"

Why not?

Li Huili took a deep breath and then pulled her into the ready-made clothing store. Soon the two of them came out wearing the most simple clothes.

The two walked hand in hand, just like a married couple.

"Where to now?" Tao Wenjun asked.

"Let's find a place to rest first, and then we'll take action tonight."

As he spoke, Li Huili used the rope in his hand to pull Tao Wenjun to follow him.

Before long, Li Huili pulled her into an inn.

The innkeeper asked, "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

"All of them."

"Okay, please wait."

After asking a few questions and taking the money, the shopkeeper quickly had the waiter take the two upstairs.

Tao Wenjun took a deep breath. "The salaries of officials in Cangyun Kingdom are still too generous. Lord Li has to stay there several times a month."

Li Huili smiled but didn't answer. "You were following me?"

"No!"

Li Huili was already used to her giving him a cold shoulder. Anyway, being able to serve in the same court as her was already a very happy thing in his life!

Moreover, they also have a Wen'er.

It's just a pity for Wen'er, she doesn't even have any brothers or sisters, it's really too lonely for her to be all alone.

"I was wrong before," Li Huili sighed and said to Tao Wenjun.

Tao Wenjun frowned slightly. Could it be that Li Huili was also making a mistake?

Li Huili continued, "Before, I wanted to use Wen'er to force you to agree to start over with me, but I never thought that after so many years, what kind of husband do you really want?"

Tao Wenjun rolled her eyes.

She looked at Li Huili and said, "Can you stop being so narcissistic? I have an official position now, and a lot of salary, which I can't possibly spend. And there's Wen'er. When she grows up, she will naturally come to me, her mother."

"The child has always been in that alley, you could have gone there—"

"Go? Go be my mistress?"

"I have no legal wife, let alone any concubines, so why are you deliberately trying to provoke me by saying I should be your mistress?"

Tao Wenjun looked at Li Huili and said, "I hate it when people force me to walk the path they've chosen for me."

“But I never wanted you to be my mistress, someone I couldn’t keep hidden. I hope you’ll give me a chance, even if it’s just for Wen’er. We’re a match made in heaven.”

"hehe--"

Tao Wenjun found it amusing, but didn't want to say anything more.

Li Huili's lips moved as if he had lost all his strength, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time!

After a long while, there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, the meal is ready."

"Come in."

"Got it."

The waiter pushed open the door and entered, followed by another waiter. The two of them placed the food, drinks, and rice from the trays onto the round table.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir. Is there anything else you require?"

Li Huili raised his hand and said, "Go down."

"Yes, sir."

As he left, the waiter closed the door again.

Tao Wenjun sat down at the table, and Li Huili sat down diagonally opposite her.

"Let's leave private matters aside and talk about the matter concerning the Emperor Emeritus, the Empress Dowager, and Lord Rong. How did this get to the common people, and how did they manage to submit memorials to the emperor after only a few days of their return?"

Li Huili pursed his lips. He first poured tea for Tao Wenjun and himself, and then served Tao Wenjun dishes.

Tao Wenjun looked at the delicious food and felt a little hungry. It was indeed lunchtime.

Hunger is normal.

"If my guess is correct, someone has made arrangements in advance," Li Huili said.

"That's my guess too, and perhaps the Emperor and the Regent also think so. But how can we find out who orchestrated this?"

Li Huili said, "Therefore, our first task is to gather information."

"If you try to find out about this matter, before you even meet those people, they will probably keep their mouths shut, or even die to prove their innocence!"

Therefore, they simply won't say a word!

"We're not using the usual methods."

Tao Wenjun looked at Li Huili, "What methods?"

"Eat first, I'll tell you later."

Tao Wenjun: "..."

She suddenly found Li Huili, a man who seemed to know a little about everything, to be quite interesting.

After the meal.

Li Huili said she was very sleepy and wanted to take a nap.

Tao Wenjun felt extremely uncomfortable.

But seeing that Li Huili was really asleep, she lowered her guard.

When Li Huili woke up, it was already dark.

He turned his head and saw Tao Wenjun dressed in a scholarly manner. His heart was pounding. This time, she was the same as before when they worked together to solve cases. When she saw him, there was no admiration in her eyes, only a little bit of disdain.

"It's getting dark, what about your methods?" Tao Wenjun asked.

Li Huili calmly washed his face and then said, "A brothel."

"what?"

"Yes, it's the kind of brothel you know. It's a mixed bag of people, and officials go there a lot. Go listen to how they brag to those flower fairies-like women."

boast--

That's definitely bragging.

However, this doesn't stop some people from using boasting as a pretext to reveal some secrets.

It was at this moment that Tao Wenjun was convinced by Li Huili.

The ideas that came to his head often seemed unorthodox to her, but in reality, if he didn't solve problems on his own, he would only surrender, admit defeat, and be enslaved.

Tao Wenjun couldn't wait any longer.

He immediately stood up and said, "I'll go right now."

Li Huili: "..."

"Wait for me."

Li Huili chased after her and whispered to Tao Wenjun, "Your current identity is that of a guest going out to have fun, so don't scare the other girls."

The two went downstairs.

The outside was already a scene of bright lights and bustling activity; this night market was even more lively than the daytime market.

After walking for a while...

Tao Wenjun and Li Huili finally arrived at the brothel.

"Oh my, young master, you are so handsome! Let me serve you." A bright and beautiful woman walked over, waving a veil.

Li Huili shielded Tao Wenjun behind him, asked the madam for a private room, and then found some pretty girls who could play the pipa and dance to have fun in the room.
