"No, impossible! Fu'er isn't the kind of person who would do anything to achieve such a thing!"
Ouyang Zhen wanted to wake the Empress Dowager up. He didn't know what kind of spell Ouyang Fu had cast on them. It was one thing for the Empress to think he wasn't that kind of person, after all, she was his biological mother. But what about the Emperor? Well, because he had always been a good father and had always been grooming Ouyang Fu to be the crown prince!
As for the Empress Dowager… Ouyang Zhen hadn’t expected that she would have such a good impression of Ouyang Fu. It seemed that Ouyang Fu’s previous efforts hadn’t been in vain; he had certainly gained a lot of favor with the Empress Dowager.
"Grandmother, Ouyang Fu has committed treason and rebellion, and you still say he isn't that kind of person?"
"Fine, he's just missing, not dead. You can put the throne to whoever you want. I'm not doing this anymore!"
Ouyang Zhen said no more and turned to leave.
The Empress Dowager was stunned. Ouyang Zhen's temper was too much. She didn't say anything. She just said that Fu'er wasn't like this before.
How could this person...?
The ministers were all dumbfounded; they hadn't expected Ouyang Zhen to be so audacious.
They're doing this for Ouyang Zhen's own good, to help her get into that position quickly. If it were anyone else, they'd be in a hurry!
"This, this..." The Empress Dowager trembled. Seeing the figure that had disappeared, she felt her vision go black and she almost fainted.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"Granny Qin, what did the Crown Prince just say? He said that the village girl gave birth to his twins?"
Granny Qin gave a bitter smile. The Crown Prince had made it so clear just now, and everyone present should have heard it, but they still didn't believe it!
"Your Highness, that is indeed what His Highness said!"
"When did this happen? How come I didn't know? What's wrong with you all? How could you not tell me about something so important!"
"Quickly, go and summon Old Madam Wu to me. I want to have a talk with her!"
The Wu family must know that Ouyang Zhen has a child.
Over time, this child eventually became distant from her. The Empress Dowager sighed inwardly, but there was nothing she could do!
However, before she could return, a palace servant rushed over.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
The Empress Dowager felt her eyelids twitching. She didn't know what had happened, but she had a very bad feeling!
"What?" All the ministers pricked up their ears. Could there be anything more important than His Highness the Crown Prince running away?
"It's the Crown Prince! His Highness the Crown Prince has taken the Empress and Miss Meng away!"
"What?"
"Your Highness, please..."
The Empress Dowager felt even more dizzy; she knew the Crown Prince wasn't someone to be trifled with. The Empress was Ouyang Fu's mother, his biological daughter. And that Miss Meng on the Empress's side, Meng Qing, was carrying Ouyang Fu's child!
Although the Empress Dowager did not go to see the girl, she bestowed many gifts upon her. After all, she was Ouyang Fu's child, and the first of her great-grandchildren. The Empress Dowager even secretly asked the imperial physician, who said it should be a boy!
The Empress Dowager was so excited that she couldn't sleep for several days. Damn it, why did Ouyang Zhen take them out at this time?
Besides, Meng Qing is heavily pregnant. Does he intend to lead people there to rescue her?
The Empress Dowager dared not gamble; a pregnant woman could not travel long distances.
Before Ouyang Zhen could even leave the palace, he was stopped by the Empress Dowager.
"Your Highness, you cannot take them out..."
How could the Empress be taken out like that? And pregnant women are also forbidden!
"Heh...Are you still my Empress Dowager? Why can't you take them out with you?"
"One of them is the Empress, your mother, and the other is six months pregnant. Crown Prince, I understand your desire to rescue your wife and child, but you don't need to take them with you!"
Hearing this, Ouyang Zhen laughed, but there was an indescribable desolation in his laughter: "Grandmother, I know that Ouyang Fu has grown up by your side since he was a child, and it doesn't matter if you are a little biased towards him, but you can't be so biased. I don't ask you to be fair to everyone, but please don't be too biased!"
"Who is the Empress? She is Ouyang Fu's biological mother, and this is his woman. This woman is carrying Ouyang Fu's child!"
"You say pregnant women can't be taken away, but when my wife was pregnant, wasn't she still being chased and killed by your good grandson?"
"Why are you chasing me? Because of me? Hahaha, my dear grandmother, you probably don't know this, but I actually met Ouyang Fu before I regained my identity. It's just that I was too ugly back then, so he didn't recognize me. But he took a fancy to my wife. Because he took a fancy to her, he sent people to snatch her away. We had no choice but to run away. But at that time, did he ever think that my wife was also pregnant?"
"Not to mention now. Ouyang Fu ran to Yancheng and kidnapped my wife and children. My wife had just given birth a month ago, and the two children were only a month old. Why didn't you tell Ouyang Fu that you can't lay a hand on a baby who is only a month old and a woman who is only a month old?"
These words left the Empress Dowager speechless; she had no way to refute them.
The ministers who arrived later remained silent upon hearing this.
"Now the army of Xiyao Kingdom is pressing in from Xishu. Do you know where Ouyang Fu is taking my wife and children?"
The Empress Dowager's heart skipped a beat, her face turned deathly pale, and she opened her mouth, her lips trembling violently, but she couldn't utter a single word.
"Your good grandson wants to kidnap my wife and children to Xiyao Kingdom, and cooperate with Xi Wujue to threaten me with my wife and children!"
"At a time like this, you're still trying to stop me?"
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes tightly, but at that moment the Empress suddenly spoke up: "Slander! Ouyang Zhen, this is slander! My Fu'er would never do such a thing!"
Ouyang Zhen scoffed, "It's not like it's the first time he's done it!"
"Didn't he already go to Xiyao Kingdom once and become sworn brothers with Xi Wujue?"
"The reason Xi Wujue was able to escape last time was also because of your good son's secret help!"
"Oh, I misspoke earlier. It shouldn't be 'helping secretly,' it should be 'openly helping.'"
"No, impossible!" The Empress tried to argue, but Ouyang Zhen waved his hand impatiently: "Gag her!"
How noisy! As for Meng Qing, she was now obediently huddled to one side like a little quail.
I heard that when they went to arrest her, her mother wanted to come along. But after being kicked, she behaved herself and didn't dare to cause any trouble.
After the queen's mouth was gagged, the surroundings finally became quiet.
"Grandmother, rest assured, as long as my wife and children are safe, the Empress and this woman will be fine!"
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt even more bitter.
