Chapter 720 Prepare to Extort a Confession
The pale Xu's daughter naturally understood what King Zhao meant.

If the entanglement continues, the fact that she had her own heart and refused to bridal chamber back then will be exposed.

Zhao Wang just abolished her instead of prosecuting her family's crimes, which is the most benevolent.

After Xu's daughter took her mother back to the house, she stopped.

Presumably Mrs. Xu already knew the truth, so she didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

But when the news that Princess Zhao was dethroned was reported, countless aristocratic girls in the capital were excited, all of them were full of spring.

The courtiers who had a grown-up daughter at home also sent their wives and daughters to actively hand out a sign to visit Empress Xu in the palace.

Empress Xu looked at the pile of signs in front of her, and looked across the flower corridor to see her son who was in a daze under the peach blossom tree opposite. His back was so lonely and cold, which made people feel distressed.

In the end, Empress Xu asked someone to pass on Yi's decree, and declined any interruptions from visiting the sick. The Zhonggong had its own opinion about Zhao Wang's choice of concubine.

Empress Xu took over the matter, and Zhao Jianjian's pressure suddenly eased.

But Zhao Jian was also afraid that his mother was in a hurry to choose a concubine for him. She refused and was rejected at the beginning. He wanted to lose his temper but his mother was sick. How could he be self-willed?

I was annoyed, anxious and worried in my heart, but after half a month, I couldn't afford to get sick again, and I was so worried that the hospital was too bad.

There is still no way out for Zhao Wangzhi's eyes, and now he is so ill, everyone is panicked for a while.

Emperor Yongle had a lot of work to do every day, sometimes he took the time to come over, looked at the sickly mother and child, and couldn't help sighing.

The spring was beautiful throughout March, Zhao Jian refused the outing arranged by the crown prince, the horse riding at the racecourse proposed by the King of Han, and the flower viewing banquet arranged by the queen mother.

Apart from paying respects to the queen mother and talking with her, she just sat under the peach blossom tree in a daze all day long, but her face became thinner and thinner day by day.

Finally one day Empress Xu couldn't bear it any longer, and while Zhao Jian was taking a nap at noon, she asked Mother Li to summon Li Kan to the inner hall and sent a maid to guard the gate.

"Li Kan, you are a child raised by Ben Gong. I know your loyalty to Sui'er, but I have to find out how much you are loyal to Ben Gong today!"

"Except for the folk, Li Kan will definitely have nothing wrong with what your mother asks."

Li Kan was secretly startled when he heard this, he knelt down with a bang, and kowtowed three times.

Seeing him like this, Empress Xu almost laughed angrily.These boys must have been well ventilated a long time ago, didn't they just not be given the position of concubine, they actually hid them so tightly.

"I don't ask that person, I just want you to tell me everything about Sui'er going south, where you have been, what you have done, what friends you have made, and what dangers you have encountered in the past two years."

Empress Xu was originally a smart person, she had an idea when she changed her mind.

Li Kan also thought quickly in his heart, the queen asked, and had to answer.

He dared to speak so boldly just now because of his old mother's face in front of the queen.

And he was indeed born in Yanwang's mansion, grew up in front of the queen's knees, and was Zhu Gaosui's playmate since he was a child. The queen naturally knows his temperament very well.

And seeing his old lady holding a broom in her hand, staring at him and grinding her teeth, he trembled in his heart.

This is preparing to extract a confession.

Not allowing him to think too much, the teacup in the queen's hand was placed on the table, making a crisp sound.

He knew that there was no room for maneuver, so he could only think about it and slowly talk about the events of the year in detail.

Whenever the details of Ding Shitou were involved, he would pause for a moment.

But many dangers involve Ding Shitou, how can he avoid it?

Thinking of his master's longing for him, he finally turned his head and called him "that girl", except for Ding Shitou's incident of leading the sheep by hand, trying his best to earn the master's money, and sharing the same bed with the master in Zhao's mansion. If you don't say anything, everything else is said.
