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

"Lord Li has not been busy these years and often has time to visit these brothels."

After the two entered the private room, Tao Wenjun looked around and found that the brothel was not as colorful and vibrant as she had imagined.

This private room is quite nice, even a bit elegant.

Li Huili smiled at Tao Wenjun, "I've never been here before."

Have you never been here?

Tao Wenjun didn't quite believe it.

Li Huili stood before Tao Wenjun and said righteously, "I swear, I have never been here before. This time, it was only for official business."

Tao Wenjun pulled down Li Huili's hand as he swore, saying, "Don't worry about it so much."

"Of course I care, you're the mother of my child."

"you--"

dong dong dong-

"Sir, the ladies have arrived."

The madam knocked on the door and then led the girls in.

Tao Wenjun looked at those young women and felt a pang of melancholy. In this prosperous age, there were still so many women of the night.

Li Huili suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'm only trying to get information from you later, not being promiscuous."

Tao Wenjun smiled slightly, "It has nothing to do with me."

Li Huili put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Brother Tao, come here, we shouldn't waste such a wonderful time."

“Yes, my lord is so handsome, I like him very much too.” A woman walked towards Tao Wenjun.

Tao Wenjun almost ran away.

But she also thought it over carefully; there was no guarantee that she could actually get some information out of this place.

And so he laughed, like a dissolute young master, teasing the girls.

"Come, come, come, look at this!" Li Huili suddenly stepped on the table and shouted from a high place.

The girls looked over and saw a stack of silver notes.

"Today I want to choose the most skilled wine connoisseur and see who can drink the most," Li Huili said after thinking for a moment. "We'll decide who drinks by playing rock-paper-scissors. Whoever can drink without getting drunk is the wine connoisseur, and these people will naturally be the wine connoisseurs!"

"Wine Immortal, great! Finger-guessing is our forte!"

"Finger-guessing game is good."

"Come on, let's play a game of rock-paper-scissors."

Li Huili pulled Tao Wenjun over, saying, "Brother Tao, you come too."

"Come on, come on!"

She can ask him herself later.

So, five or six girls approached Tao Wenjun and Li Huili.

At first, Tao Wenjun was forced to drink several cups of wine, but she was clever and quickly learned how to fight back.

While watching her, Li Huili played a drinking game with the girl and asked her some trivial questions.

It wasn't until the girls were swaying and staggering that Li Huili started asking simple, unimportant questions about the scandalous affairs of the Emperor Emeritus, the Empress Dowager, and the Imperial Observatory Director Rong.

"These rumors have been circulating for a year now, but at that time, the Emperor Emeritus, the Empress Dowager, Lord Rong, and the Emperor were all out of the palace—"

Tao Wenjun and Li Huili exchanged a glance, realizing that these rumors had been circulating for a year!

"So where did you all hear this from?"

"Where, in a place like ours, you can hear anything, anything. It's said that the Empress Dowager and Lord Rong were already in love, and when they came to a place where nobody knew them, their old feelings rekindled. And the Emperor Emeritus, wasn't he... was he abandoned?"

After hearing these words, Li Huili's face turned very ugly.

It's unbelievable how the story has spread like this among the common people!

"Watch your mouths! If you dare to say such things again, you'll lose your heads sooner or later!"

"Ah, what? What did you say, my lord?"

Li Huili stood up, and Tao Wenjun followed suit, but she was somewhat drunk and staggered.

Li Huili embraced Tao Wenjun, and the two strode away, leaving only the silhouette of a man in a blue robe behind.

When everyone came to their senses, they hurriedly went to call the madam.

The madam, accompanied by thugs, blocked Li Huili and Tao Wenjun. Li Huili immediately pulled out his waist token and said, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. Are you sure you want to stop this official?"

"Ah, well, well, even adults who come here to play need to be reasonable—"

Just as Li Huili was about to take the silver notes, the madam dared not. This official clearly wanted to settle accounts with them, so she simply stepped aside, saying, "Please take care, sir. Please take care, sir."

After leaving the brothel.

The carriage arrived just in time.

"To the palace," Li Huili said to the servant driving the horse.

"It's an adult."

Tao Wenjun leaned against the carriage wall, feeling dizzy, while Li Huili looked at her with a slight smile, "You actually drank."

"I'm not drunk." She was just a little dizzy, not drunk.

“Everyone who’s drunk says they’re not drunk. How can you prove you’re not drunk?” Li Huili asked with a smile.

Tao Wenjun slapped Li Huili's face lightly, saying, "Does this prove anything?"

Li Huili covered her face, "Why didn't you have the heart to hit me?"

"You still have to meet the Emperor later!"

"Indeed, she's fully awake."

“Of course, those who say that people can’t control what they do when they’re drunk are lying,” Tao Wenjun said with a smile.

Li Huili nodded, "That's true, but—"

"But what?"

"It's true that alcohol emboldens people and intoxicates them."

"nonsense."

Li Huili chuckled, then suddenly leaned in and pinned Tao Wenjun against the corner. "Wen'er has missed you for a long time. When are you finally going to come home?"

Tao Wenjun lowered her eyes, not wanting to listen to his seductive words.

"The Emperor's family is reunited, so it's time for us to be reunited too, isn't it?"

His breath hit Tao Wenjun's face, causing a burning sensation.

Over the years, Li Huili's forbearance and persistent pursuit have become a habit for her, or perhaps she has already developed feelings for him.

"You want me to return to family life and become a stay-at-home mom?" Tao Wenjun asked with a smile.

"How dare I? You are the esteemed Lord Tao!" She was no ordinary peasant woman. Even peasant women have the right to make their own choices!

How could he possibly have the ability to make her cook and clean?

“If you don’t believe me, I can write it down,” Li Huili said.

Tao Wenjun looked into those sincere eyes, her heart pounding. Just then, the carriage stopped, and the servant said, "Sir, we have arrived at the palace gate."

"arrive."

Tao Wenjun's face turned red and hot. She covered her face and then got out of the car.

Li Huili had no choice but to follow.

After entering the palace, the two went straight to the Imperial Study.

Xie Yun Chu was reading on the wooden couch in the Imperial Study, while Xiao Yao was reviewing memorials. When they heard Tang An report that Li Hui Li and Tao Wen Jun were requesting an audience, they immediately looked at each other, wondering if they had made progress.

"Please come in, Lord Li and Lord Tao."

"Yes."

Tang An went out carrying a whisk and called out, "The Emperor summons me."

A short while later, Li Huili and Tao Wenjun walked in side by side.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty and Lord Xie."

Xiao Yao quickly got up to help him up, saying, "Please get up, my dear minister."

However, there was a slight smell of alcohol on him.

Li Huili also felt that he had been too abrupt, but it was more important to report the information as soon as possible. He simply said, "Your Majesty, Tao and I found out in the brothel that the Empress Dowager's matter had already been rumored among the people a year ago."
