Chapter 442 Say Everything
The Queen Mother originally thought that Taoist Zhang had many magical skills and maybe he could even reverse the genders and reverse yin and yang. The Queen Mother really didn't want the throne to fall into the hands of a side branch.
The emperor waved his hand and asked the commander of the city guard to leave.
Only the mother and son were left in the palace. The Queen Mother asked, "Emperor, aren't you curious about the truth? Don't you want to know whose fate Li changed? Don't you want to meet this person?"
The emperor sighed: "You were born when I was old. Even if you knew the truth, what can you do now?"
If it were ten years ago, the emperor might have gotten to the bottom of the truth, but he was already nearly fifty years old. The closer he got to fifty, the more he felt that some things were irreversible. He was already very satisfied to be able to welcome a new life at this age.
The Queen Mother looked at her son with pity, and couldn't help thinking that without Li's interference, her son might have already had a son and a daughter, and would not be so lonely today.
"Emperor, how are you going to deal with Li?" asked the Queen Mother.
With Xin Yuanming's death, the emperor seemed to have suddenly woken up. In an instant, he lost all his preference for Li. His past memories seemed to be covered with a layer of gray light. He could not imagine that he would actually favor such a vicious woman like Li.
"Mother, I will leave Li to you. I am an unfilial son. I favored Li before and almost let her harm you." The emperor's face was full of guilt.
The Queen Mother felt relieved when she saw her son's clear eyes. Besides, there was no overnight hatred between mother and son. But the Queen Mother still took precautions in advance and said, "If I treat her with the most cruel means in the world, will you think that I am cruel, Emperor?"
The emperor immediately shook his head: "Li colluded with the criminal Li Chaosheng and poisoned the medicine for the queen mother. Such a heinous act deserves death by slow slicing."
The Queen Mother felt relieved when she saw that he really had no feelings for Li anymore.
The assassination of an imperial official by Li Ziqin shocked the court and the public. The Li family had fallen out of favor in the palace, and Li Ziqin, the head of the family, had died. Immediately, everyone rushed forward to trample the Li family, just like monkeys scattering when a tree falls.
Gu Mingda summoned Wang He to his mansion and said, "Now it is time for you to take revenge. I will write an impeachment and tell you everything about your past with the Li family."
Wang He didn't expect that she could live to see the day when her enemy would be killed, so she knelt down immediately.
"Please seek justice for my entire family of thirty-eight people, including my maternal grandparents, who are twenty-two people!"
As Gu Mingda listened to Wang He's narration, he felt more and more that there was nothing strange in this world except coincidence. Wang He's maternal grandparents were the family that sold braised food, and the braised food recipe actually ended up in the hands of the Gu family.
Both families were tempted by money. The Li family was extremely greedy, and relying on the power of the imperial concubine and Li Ziqin, they acted recklessly. Almost everyone in Guanglin Mansion had changed their surname to Li, and there were many victims like them.
Gu Mingda did not only seek justice for her, he also said: "I will find a way to get your family's property returned to you, so you don't have to work so hard to make a living in the capital in the future."
Wang He immediately said, "Sir, I am willing to give away all my clan's property to thank you for your help."
Zhang Yunniang sighed and said, "We are helping you not for your family's property, but because we feel sorry for you, a young girl who has come to the capital to make a living with a blood feud at such a young age. We are not short of money, so you don't need to mention this matter again."
Upon hearing this, Wang He lowered her head and wiped away her tears. She had no idea how much cold treatment and torture she had endured since her family was broken up. The only bit of warmth she felt actually came from Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang.
Zhang Yunniang continued, "There may still be someone alive in your maternal family. My family's braised food recipe was obtained from an old beggar in Guanglin Prefecture. The old beggar said that it was given to him by a little beggar."
When Wang He heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
When she came out of Gu Mingda's study, she saw Niuniu holding hands and talking to Xie Xingchuan outside the door.
"Niuniu, you look much better today." Wang He said happily.
Although Niu Niu had regained consciousness earlier, her face was still pale. It was obvious that using her special abilities twice in a row had hurt her.
Niuniu's face was rosy at this time. She tilted her head back and smiled and said, "I don't know why, it's like I suddenly have a lot more strength. Thank you, brother, for saying that I've become stronger!"
Wang He looked at Xie Xingchuan who was standing aside. She had seen this young man before and knew that he was the godson of the Gu family and that he had great martial arts skills at a young age.
Xie Xingchuan took the initiative to ask: "I heard that your family has a long fist that has been passed down from generation to generation. Can you show me a few moves?"
Niuniu's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Brother, my sister is really powerful. Maybe you can't beat her."
Xie Xingchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "You are a girl? Forget it, I don't bully girls."
Xie Xingchuan shook his head like a rattle.
Wang He's major concern had been resolved, and he regained some of his youthful innocence. He immediately said, "What's wrong with girls? Can't girls fight? Do I have one less hand or one less foot than you? I will not lose to you!"
After hearing what she said, Xie Xingchuan touched the back of his head and said, "That's fine. Since you like being beaten so much, don't cry when the time comes."
Niu Niu looked at Wang He, then at Xie Xingchuan, and suddenly laughed while covering her mouth.
"Niuniu, what are you laughing at?" Wang He couldn't help but ask.
Niuniu's eyes sparkled as she said, "Brother really likes sister. When he meets other people, he doesn't like to talk so much. He always pretends to be dumb."
Xie Xingchuan immediately retorted: "Who likes her? I'm just afraid that she will cry."
Wang He patted Niuniu's head gently and said, "Niuniu, talking a lot doesn't mean you like me."
Seeing Wang He's calm expression, Xie Xingchuan couldn't help but look at her one more time, thinking that she was not as shy as an ordinary girl.
The two men stood in the yard. Xie Xingchuan did not take a spear, but responded with the military long fist.
There was almost no need for any words, and no so-called humility. After looking at each other, they immediately started fighting.
The movement in the yard attracted the attention of the couple in the study.
"Husband, who do you think will win?" Zhang Yunniang asked with a smile.
Now that all the enemies of the Gu family hiding in the dark have been killed, Zhang Yunniang feels that there will never be smoother days than now.
Gu Mingda said: "Wang He's boxing skills are better in agility, but when it comes to strength, he is probably inferior to Xingchuan."
"So, my husband, you are optimistic about Xingchuan?" Zhang Yunniang asked.
Gu Mingda shook his head and said, "I am optimistic about Wang He. Since you all don't think highly of her, I have to do the opposite."
The outcome in the yard was still undecided, but the interrogation in the palace had come to an end.
The Queen Mother did not show any mercy to Li, and sent her directly to the Ministry of Punishment, where she was subjected to almost all the punishments. Li no longer dared to say that she was a favorite concubine. She screamed, "I'll tell you anything! I'll tell you whatever the Queen Mother wants to know!"
