Liu Rufeng stroked his long beard and said, "Who told you to fall for that boy Tao Zhihong and marry your daughter to him?
Unexpectedly, that humble centurion would become the backbone of the Great Zhou's defense against the Northern Barbarians, and would be called the Evil Wolf by the ferocious Northern Barbarians."
If Tao Zhihong came from a family of military generals in the capital and attracted attention when he was young, Your Majesty would never allow the Tao and Wu families to marry each other.
At the beginning, it was Wu Daozhi, a general, who betrothed his daughter to Tao Zhihong, a centurion, so that his beloved daughter successfully avoided the fate of being sent to the palace as a concubine.
At the same time, he also showed the former emperor that he had no desire to fight for power and profit, and was highly valued by the former emperor.
Now, Tao Zhihong has become a famous general defending the country, and he also has a father-in-law who is the general Weiyuan. How can those people in the court not be afraid of the two governments that hold military power?
There must be many people who want to take over the great general for the sake of power.
"I can't help it. Who can blame me for having good taste? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. With Wei girl around, I can rest assured. My eldest grandson is already grown up. This time he returned to Beijing to report on his work, it's time for him to find a girl he likes and start a family."
Wu Daozhi couldn't help but sigh a few times and discussed some official matters with Liu Rufeng. After the people left, he began to write a letter.
Inside the palace.
The fourth prince, Xiao Xiaocheng, hurried to Changle Palace where Concubine Huo lived.
Thinking of the concubine he had just met, the passion he had suppressed with great difficulty was rekindled.
He stopped, closed his eyes, suppressed the discomfort in his body, opened his eyes, regained his clarity, and took another step.
Entering Changle Palace, he finally saw Concubine Huo, whom he had not seen for several months.
Looking at the haggard and no longer beautiful face, Xiao Xiaocheng thought of the culprit who harmed them mother and son.
He must find a way to humiliate that bitch Anle to death in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.
When Concubine Huo saw her son's depressed look, she felt very uncomfortable.
Her maternal family, the Huo family, was all imprisoned by His Majesty. She wanted to ask His Majesty for mercy, but when she thought of her own situation, she felt very sad.
She was able to get out of the cold palace thanks to her son. The son saved the unconscious empress dowager and was released from the clan house by His Majesty. After the empress dowager was rescued and woke up, the son pleaded with her and she was finally able to leave the cold palace.
Soon after she came out of the cold palace, she learned that something had happened to the Huo family. Her brother accepted bribes of a huge amount, and the whole family was locked up.
The mother and son met, sat together, talked about their experiences in the past few months, and began to discuss how to work for the Huo family.
"Mother, I've inquired and the Emperor has the accounts of my uncle's bribery. What should we do?"
In the past, Xiao Xiaocheng relied on the power of his uncle Huo Wei in the court to act freely and indulge in wine and women. Countless women fell into his hands.
Once Huo Wei got into trouble, Concubine Huo and her mother and son were like plucked chickens, no longer having the strength to compete with others.
Thinking of the huge amount of money her brother had embezzled, Concubine Huo's eyes flashed guiltily.
The brother did such a bold thing for the sake of the mother and son.
For the sake of the prince, she secretly won over a group of people, and now, all the money has been lost by her.
"I will find a solution to your uncle's problem. You don't need to get involved. His Majesty's attitude towards us mother and son is not good. He should keep a low profile for a while. You should go back to the mansion and don't cause trouble again."
After meeting her son, Concubine Huo repeatedly told him not to cause trouble. She was already overwhelmed by her brother's affairs. After telling her son, she waited for him to leave and sat there alone, thinking about things.
From the incident between the emperor and her, to the Huo family's turn, it's all related to that little bitch Anle.
The next time she sees Anle, she will make him suffer a fate worse than death.
Thinking of the secret medicine in her hands, a look of surprise appeared on Concubine Huo's old face.
She came up with a brilliant idea that would not only make Anle's life worse than death, but also torture him severely, and then use him and the power behind him to do things for them, mother and son.
Just as Concubine Huo was lost in thought, her chief maid hurried in to report, "Your Majesty, the man has been apprehended. What do you think we should do with him?"
Concubine Huo withdrew her thoughts and thought of her secret. She immediately stood up and said with a ferocious look on her face, "Come on, take me to see that person."
At the gate of the palace.
Tao Yuwei got off a hired carriage.
After paying the silver and waiting for the carriage to leave, Tao Yuwei showed the jade pendant given to her by His Majesty to the imperial guards guarding the palace gate.
The royal guards guarding the gate did not conduct any inspection and let them pass immediately.
