After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

Staring at him with those two big eyes, the emperor's eyelids twitched involuntarily several times.

The child is good in every way, with all his limbs intact, healthy, lively, and pretty good-looking.

The only problem is probably that it's a bit silly.

As expected, nothing in this world is perfect. It is a blessing that the lost pearl can be found. Let's try to ignore the minor scratches on it.

Only after he had strongly persuaded himself in his heart could he turn his eyes away from this silly and stupid girl.

Humph, I know that in this race, Master Chu is the absolute king! Chu Daidai, who felt that he had won again, raised his chin proudly.

The emperor had a gloomy face as he looked down at the cautious and confused Minister Chu. No special emotion could be heard in his voice.

"Chu Zhankui, your Chu family is probably in trouble."

Ding!

Minister Chu's survival instinct immediately took over, and he quickly knelt down with a plop. While he was apologizing, he frantically recalled his family's past in his mind.

Not that bad?

These little brats in his family have always been strictly controlled and would definitely not do anything worthy of being summoned by the emperor alone.

Minister Chu thought about it and his eyes turned to his niece. If anyone could do something big enough to alarm the emperor, it could only be this unfortunate child!

No, what did she do?

They kept a very close watch on the child during this period, so the child didn't have the opportunity to sneak out and commit a crime.

So what could possibly happen to their family?

He raised his eyes cautiously and observed the emperor's expression carefully. It didn't seem like the other party was joking, or was exaggerating to deliberately criticize him.

Minister Chu's heart sank instantly.

He placed his hands flat in front of him and kowtowed to the ground, respectfully and cautiously asking the emperor for instructions.

"Your Majesty, I have served as an official diligently and conscientiously throughout my life, and I have lived an honest life. I believe that I have never committed a crime, or allowed my children to run rampant.

I dare to say with dignity to the king and the people, and I am living up to my conscience!

So please tell me directly, Your Majesty, what happened? How could it affect our Chu family?"

The emperor snorted in his heart.

This old guy is really cunning, and he gets smarter as he gets older.

Although what he said was true, he had indeed assisted the king wholeheartedly over the past few decades. He was very sympathetic to talents and selected many knowledgeable people and upright officials for the court.

but.

The emperor closed his eyes, and gently raised his right index finger, which was placed on the table, and tapped the secret letter twice. After about five breaths, he finally made up his mind. He opened his eyes, picked up the secret letter, and threw it directly on the ground in front of the table.

"Open it and see for yourself."

Chu Chi, who was squatting on the side, was a filial child. He ran over diligently, picked up the envelope, and handed it to his uncle while wearing his tiger-toe shoes.

"Uncle, give it to me!"

Her little face was full of enthusiasm, and it was obvious that she wanted to take credit. In recent days, she has been particularly well-behaved, obedient and smart.

In order to be able to go out and play and no longer have to be locked up at home and listen to her three aunts nagging her every day, Chu Daidai really used all her brain cells to come up with the idea of ​​pleasing her eldest uncle.

Chu Xiaosan has already secretly said that his whole family must listen to his father. If his uncle speaks, his aunt and the others will definitely not recite scriptures to him anymore!

The clever child is becoming more and more clever, and has already learned how to capture the leader first. These past few days, he has been using Lin Wanwan to frantically curry favor with Minister Chu.

The emperor immediately became annoyed by her servile and attentive attitude.

How could this child favor one over the other?

You were clearly glaring at me, your biological father, just now, but now you are showing your courtesy to that old man Chu Zhankui?

This is not fair!

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to his sudden and strange desire to win.

Minister Chu frowned and opened the envelope suspiciously. After reading a few lines, his eyes suddenly widened as if he was startled. He yelled out of control.

"This is impossible!"

"Impossible, this is the result of the investigation by the Embroidered Envoy. If you are not convinced, I can give you three days to verify the truth, so that you don't say that I have wronged your Chu family."

Since the emperor could say this, it means he has verified the matter!

Minister Chu was in a trance, his fingers holding the secret letter trembling violently. He turned his head and looked carefully at his niece squatting on the side.

how could be?

This child doesn't look like his fifth sister, let alone the emperor, how could she be the emperor's daughter? Chenghua obviously looks so much like the fifth sister, how could she be born to the fourth sister?

"When my fifth sister gave birth, my fourth sister hadn't yet given birth. The two babies were more than a month apart. How could they have been taken by mistake? And my fifth sister lives in the backyard of the Prince Qin's mansion. She doesn't step out of the mansion easily. How could she have made such a mistake?"

The reluctance to believe on his face was so obvious that the emperor thought it would be better to let him die convinced.

"No one said that the baby was taken away by mistake. If I am right, this was a carefully planned plan."

As soon as these words came out, Minister Chu immediately broke out in a cold sweat! He opened his mouth to refute.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report this. Our Chu family will never do such a foolish thing! Maybe there is some misunderstanding. After all, Princess Chenghua and Concubine Shu look so similar. In addition,

He hardened his heart, swallowed his saliva and continued to defend himself.

“Let’s take a step back and say that even if this is true, it has nothing to do with my Chu family!

At that time, the Zheng family was powerful, and the princess in the backyard of the Qin Palace was all-powerful. My fifth sister was struggling to protect her children in the backyard, how could she do such a thing?

Absolutely impossible! "

The emperor's eyes flashed, and through the smoke rising from the incense burner cover, he seemed to see the clever and cunning woman again.

His voice was soft, with a hint of nostalgia.

"As her brother, you should know better than me how smart Xiu Hua is.

The fight for the throne was brutal, and the palaces were in chaos. The male heirs in my backyard died one after another, and the age difference between the third and fourth sons was eight years. In such a difficult situation, Yu Hua was able to give birth to the sixth son and protect him. Could she have no tricks at all?

If she hadn't done it herself, who could have taken the child away from under her nose?"

"Maybe the princess did something? The Zheng family has always regarded our Chu family as their lifelong enemy.

This old minister dares to say something disrespectful.

"I can see how you treated Concubine Chu differently, so how can the Zheng family not see it? Would they have attacked my daughter Chu in order to protect the Zheng daughter's position as princess?"
