Liu Zhao looked at Concubine Die in silence.
When he looked at others seriously, they would notice that his eyes were very similar to Jiang Pengji's.
"Concubine …" Liu Zhao lowered his voice and said in a serious tone, "I know what I'm doing …"
"What do you know?!" Concubine Die seemed to be triggered by something. Her hands uncontrollably squeezed Liu Zhao's shoulders. Her expression was so agitated that it was hard to suppress it. It looked a little twisted. "Your mother also said that she knew what she was doing. What happened to her in the end?"
She died!
The person who had taught her how to manage the rice and how to brew pear blossom wine with a smile the day before had died suddenly the next day!
Concubine Die wanted to scream, but she was still rational and forced herself to hold it in.
Liu Zhao felt as if his shoulders were being clamped by a pair of pliers.
He was in so much pain that tears were coming out, but he stubbornly did not make a sound.
Concubine Die held it in and forced herself to calm down.
"Look at your reaction. You must have found out the truth from some channel, right?"
Liu Zhao hesitated and nodded after a while. "That person told me … Concubine Die handed me the brocade box. I followed the instructions in the box and found mother's belongings. I also found mother's handwriting among her belongings … "
Before Liu Zhao came to Chongzhou, Concubine Die, who usually ignored people, visited him in the middle of the night. It almost scared him to the point of wetting his pants.
She did not say anything unnecessary. Instead, she handed him a delicate brocade box and said that it was his mother's belongings.
"Look at it secretly. No matter what is inside, you must keep your mouth shut. No one can tell."
That was what Concubine Die had told him.
Liu Zhao was suspicious, but he could not resist the temptation of curiosity. He finally opened the brocade box quietly.
There was a strange-looking key and a neatly folded piece of paper with yellowed edges. A map was drawn on the paper.
Liu Zhao avoided everyone and sneaked to the place indicated on the map. He found a treasure that was enough for a normal person to live a comfortable life.
However, the gold and silver were not important. What was important was the belongings left behind by his birth mother.
Ever since Liu Zhao had memories, he had always thought that he was the lowliest son of a concubine.
His mother was lowly and his father treated him coldly.
It was already a miracle that he could make a living in the Liu residence.
However, the relic of his birth mother had subverted his previous understanding.
"Don't believe that bastard's words!" Concubine Die said decisively. "Don't believe anything that man says. If you really can't make a decision, you can trust Lanting. Trust Lanting. Even if you are ignorant and incompetent, you will at least be a carefree prince in the future. "
Liu Zhao's face turned red. He really hadn't thought that far ahead.
He was used to being a coward and was used to living a comfortable life.
He only wanted to set up a trap to protect the people he wanted to protect.
"That's what Mother wrote in her diary. Sister is absolutely trustworthy." Liu Zhao seemed to have thought of something and added, "And you."
When Concubine Die heard this, she was stunned.
Her beautiful face was filled with sorrow and her eyes seemed to be weeping silently.
"Did she really say that?"
Under Concubine Die's passionate gaze, Liu Zhao nodded with difficulty. "Yes, that's what Mother said."
"Humph, at least she has a conscience."
Concubine Die snorted lightly, but the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly.
"I just don't understand. Why does Concubine Die want me to get married as soon as possible?"
Liu Zhao was still depressed when he thought about it. He was being forced to get married. He was speechless.
"Get married as soon as possible and leave the family as soon as possible." Concubine Die said, "No matter where your sister comes from, do you think she really loves you as a brother? Do you think Liu She loves you so much? If you are too much of an eyesore, Liu Xi's men can kill you. "
Liu Zhao swallowed nervously, feeling a chill on his neck.
Concubine Die was right. If he stood in his sister's way, even if she did not do anything, her men might secretly do it.
He did not have that many lives to hide from the schemes of those shrewd people.
"Separating from the family is not a long-term solution."
Concubine Die sneered and pointed at the pile of information on young girls on the table.
"The girls I chose for you have good looks and good figures, but their families are not that good."
Without a strong family, Liu Zhao's appearance was so weak that he would not be eye-catching.
Liu Zhao took a closer look. It was true. The girls in the pictures were beautiful, but their families were not that good.
"Concubine Die, we should wait for my sister to come back and make the decision. Let her help us choose."
Liu Zhao still insisted on his own opinion.
Concubine Die had just calmed down, but Liu Zhao hurriedly comforted her. He raised his hand and held Concubine Die's wrist, "Concubine Die, if what my mother wrote in her handwritten notes is true, I think you may have misunderstood something. I am not greedy for power, nor do I covet my sister's future. I did not put in a good word for that person. I only believe in my own judgment and try my best to fulfill my mother's last wish. "
"What was her last wish?"
"What do you think?" Liu Zhao asked.
Concubine Die's beautiful cheeks were covered with frost, and her eyes were full of murderous intent. Liu Zhao felt that his neck was about to freeze.
"She was killed by someone, but she still refused to forget that person. I compromised and married him. Why didn't she look at me?"
Liu Zhao was speechless.
No, there was too much information in this sentence.
"Liu Zhao, remember, you can't win against those two people." When Concubine Die said this, her eyes flashed with fear, "What two souls in one body? I don't believe it at all. That was clearly a lonely ghost of unknown origin. As for the other person …"
Liu Zhao patted Concubine Die's shoulder to calm her restless emotions.
He opened his dark and pure eyes and said softly, "Concubine Die, I know. But it seems that there are some things that only I can do. "
Liu Zhao was not a stupid person. Since he knew the social status of a concubine, he knew how to hide his abilities.
He could learn the things that the teacher taught him only once, but he still pretended that it was difficult and insisted on learning it more than ten times.
Because he could not steal his brother Liu Xi's limelight.
Well, in the end, it was confirmed that it was his sister.
After all, if a concubine wanted to live a good life, he must not be better than a legitimate son.
At such a young age, no one taught Liu Zhao these things, but he learned it without a teacher, which showed how smart he was.
But there was something that he must not know.
If one pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger for too long, he would sooner or later become a pig.
Liu Zhao pretended to be a bad student, and after a while, he became like a pig.
It was good to be a bad student, and he did not have to care about eating, drinking and playing.
Coincidentally, his sister, who came back from the dead, was an all-rounder, and in the future, she would be the ruler of the world.
Who could be more powerful than him?
Not to mention that Liu Zhao was heartless and did not care about his sister's kindness.
He had not met his sister many times, and they did not even talk much. How could they talk about feelings?
"What can you do?" Concubine Die sneered, "Even if you don't hide your abilities, who can you beat?"
Liu Zhao: "…"
He could not beat anyone, so there was no need to remind him of such a sad reality again and again.
"No, Concubine Die —" Liu Zhao looked around and waved at her. The two whispered, "I suspect that person is fake!"
"Fake?" Concubine Die opened her eyes wide in shock.
