The people around were chatting, and when the Queen Mother spoke, Yan Shu immediately became curious and asked, "Looking at the temperament of this lady, she doesn't seem to be from a brothel." The

Queen Mother then said, "She was also a daughter of an official family. Because her grandfather committed a crime, she was forced to become a prostitute."

Yan Shu, "???"

A daughter of an official family was forced to become a prostitute?

Hiss, it sounds even more tortuous and bizarre!

At least 300,000 words of love, hatred, and vengeance immediately flooded her mind, so she couldn't help asking again, "Did General Wu'an know this lady for a long time? So when he saw her in trouble, he went against the crowd and redeemed her? But logically, shouldn't official prostitutes be redeemed at will? How did this Madam Shao get into the general's mansion?"

This series of questions made the Queen Mother raise her eyebrows, so she had to patiently say to her, "I only know that the two met in Liangzhou. At that time, General Wu'an led his army to defeat the Xiongnu. The court originally wanted to give him a reward, but he didn't want gold or silver, but only this woman. Later, with the court's permission, General Wu'an took the woman back to the capital, but because of the woman's background, General Wu'an could not marry her. The elders in the family also tried to stop her in every possible way, and finally she had to give her the status of a concubine. "

"So that's how it is,"

Yan Shu nodded, and couldn't help but sigh, "In this case, General Wu'an would rather have a beautiful woman than gold and silver, which shows that he is also a man of temperament! Did General Wu'an marry a wife later?" The Queen Mother

smiled and said, "If he did, how could she come to beg me now? First, the story of these two people was known to everyone in the capital. In such a situation, which noble lady would dare to marry him? Second, probably General Wu'an had no intention of marrying anyone else, so he never had a wife in his house."

Yan Shu nodded, and the image of a passionate and loyal tough man had already been painted in her mind.

From what I saw just now, although Mrs. Shao is already that age, she still has delicate features. She must have been a beauty when she was young. The story of a beauty and a general is full of lingering emotions.

However, the real world is ultimately subject to many restrictions. She thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder if this Mrs. Shao has given birth to any children? If General Wu'an has no other concubines, then wouldn't his children all be illegitimate children?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Yes, they gave birth to a son and a daughter, but they can only be illegitimate children. That's why Mrs. Shao is so self-deprecating and rarely goes out to see people. But speaking of it, she is still good at educating her children. , his son Han Xingcheng passed the military examination based on his own ability, and is now serving in the Liangzhou camp. He is not afraid of the bitter cold at a young age, and can be regarded as a son following in his father's footsteps. It's just that it's a bit difficult for this girl to get married. It seems that she is already sixteen or seventeen years old, and she hasn't found a good family yet. "

Yan Shu nodded, and sighed in her heart -

after all, this girl from the general's mansion is not only a concubine's daughter, but her mother also has such a background. Those noble families in the capital will naturally have reservations.

She could only say, "But there is no rush for this matter. If the family cares about these people, even if the girl insists on marrying into the family, they will surely not treat her well. It is better to be patient and find someone who is sincere to her, regardless of family background, as long as he has good character."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Who said it is not? I hope General Wu'an can survive this time, otherwise the girl will have to observe mourning for three years. In the future, her cousin will be the head of the family, and her brother will be away. I am afraid that the mother and daughter will suffer."

Huh?

Yan Shu was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Why is the cousin the head of the family?"

Although this General Wu'an did not have a legitimate son, he at least had a illegitimate son. Even if he was gone, shouldn't the illegitimate son inherit the family business?

But the Queen Mother sighed, "Because General Wu'an has never had a wife, and his only concubine is of such a background, he adopted his nephew as his heir a few years ago. So the one who will inherit the family business in the future is his nephew."

What? ? ?

Yan Shu was stunned and almost thought her ears were broken.

——General Wu'an adopted his nephew even though he already had a son? ? ?

What's the situation?

Could it be that he also cares about Mrs. Shao's background?

Of course, it's not easy for her to ask the Queen Mother about such a question, not to mention that the Queen Mother might not know the details.

So at the critical moment, the system has to come out to answer questions and resolve doubts.

Upon hearing this, the system immediately said, "This is what happened. At that time, General Wu'an Han Gaochu had a deep affection for Madam Shao and was unwilling to marry a wife. However, the old lady of the general's mansion, that is, General Wu'an's mother Xing, looked down on Madam Shao's background and thought that she had been a court prostitute and her children were also bastards. Therefore, she forced General Wu'an to make her nephew Han Xing'an his adopted son."

Yan Shu, "..."

So it was his mother who forced him?

But she was still puzzled, "But didn't General Wu'an like Madam Shao very much? Didn't he ever think of resisting? After all, she was his own adopted son. 】

System,【In this world today, filial piety is more important than anything else. Besides, you don’t know how much some old ladies can do. Back then, General Wu’an’s mother, Xing, forced her son to starve herself to death. Madam Shao didn’t want the general to starve her to death for her sake, which would bring him a bad name, so she persuaded General Wu’an. The general was in a dilemma and finally agreed. But it was also because of this that his own son, Han Xingcheng, knew that he couldn’t rely on his family in the future, so he worked very hard since he was a child. He won the championship in the martial arts competition, leaving outsiders speechless.】

Yan Shu,【……】

It’s one thing for her own son to be capable, but this old lady is too speechless. This is probably because he originally favored the grandson named Xing'an and wanted Han Xing'an to take advantage of his uncle.

System, [More or less. Speaking of it, Han Xing'an, who became his uncle's adopted son, is indeed not very ambitious. He has no ability since he was a child. And this time, Mrs. Shao came to the palace in person to ask the empress dowager for help, which is also related to this man. ]

Yan Shu immediately said, [What do you mean? ]

System, [General Wu'an has made great contributions to the court. It is not a violation of the rules to go to the palace to ask for an imperial physician. Why did he delay it until now? It is because of Han Xing'an. Logically speaking, Mrs. Shao is of humble origin, and her biological son is in Liangzhou. As an adopted son, he should be the one to ask the emperor to send an imperial physician. But he agreed on the surface, but he didn't ask the emperor for help. He told the people in the mansion that it was the emperor who didn't agree, which made his uncle's illness worse. If Mrs. Shao hadn't been really worried about her husband and determined to go to the palace to ask the empress dowager, the Wu'an General's Mansion wouldn't have waited for the imperial physician. 】

Yan Shu, 【??? Why did he do this? The emperor doesn't eat people, is it difficult to ask the emperor for the imperial physician? 】

System, 【Guess why he did this? 】

Yan Shu, 【……】

Is this system afraid that she will become stupid if she doesn't use her brain, so he asks her to guess every day? !

System, [Emm, he did have this in mind. After all, he is not very smart and a pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years.]

Yan Shu, […]

How dare you say that to her!

Humph, guess, what's so difficult about that?

[He doesn't want to hire a doctor for his uncle, so he hopes that his uncle's illness will get worse and worse and he will die soon, so that he can inherit his uncle's property?]

System, [That's right, and besides that, he has other plans.]

Yan Shu was very alert, [What other plans does he have?]

System, [Once General Wuan dies, he will join forces with the Han family to force Madam Shao to be buried with him, and officially get rid of Madam Shao, the "shame of the family". Anyway, the outside world knows that the old couple has a good relationship, and then they will announce to the outside world that it was Madam Shao who was willing to die for General Wuan, and no one in the outside world will doubt it.]

What? ! !

As soon as these words came out, Yan Shu almost jumped up. [This guy wants to drag his uncle to death, not enough, but he also wants to kill Madam Shao? ! ! ]

This is the grandson that old lady Xing favored. This bastard is not satisfied with sucking blood, but also wants to kill people alive!

So, facing that situation, it is useless to give in. General Wuan and Madam Xing gave in until today, but the result is that they are now waiting to die!

This melon is really infuriating, but Yan Shu calmed down and thought about it, and felt that this matter is not difficult to handle.

- After all, General Wuan has made great contributions to Daliang. Although the person he loves is of low status, once his current experience is spread, the outside world will definitely not tolerate it.

And since this lady was able to come to see the Queen Mother, she must have known the Queen Mother before. After all, one could hear a hint of sympathy in the Queen Mother's words just now.

So she said to the empress dowager, "General Wu'an has been ill for such a long time, and his family has just come to see the imperial physician. Why didn't his adopted son go to ask Your Majesty earlier? Why wait until now and ask Madam Shao to come and ask you? She was so self-deprecating in her words just now, it's really heartbreaking."

The empress dowager frowned and nodded, "I'm also surprised. Judging from the situation just now, it seems that General Wu'an is quite ill. After all, he is a meritorious official. I hope nothing happens to him."

Yan Shu nodded hurriedly and said, "Is there any inside story about this matter? I will go back and ask Your Majesty first. If there is any new news, I will report to Your Majesty."

But the empress dowager's eyes lit up immediately, and she thought to herself, "That's great. This girl really understands me. 】

But she said with a reserved tone, "Your Majesty is very busy, please don't bother him. You should also be careful and take care of yourself."

Yan Shu hurriedly agreed, and then took her leave and left Ci'an Palace first.

Along the way, she ate the melon carefully with the system again, and when she returned to Ganlu Palace, she began to write the storybook.

Who knew that she would write until nightfall.

Seeing that the lights in the palace had been turned on, and she didn't even eat dinner seriously, Ren Dong couldn't bear it, and advised at the desk, "Master, take a rest, you have been sitting for a while, please don't get tired."

Yan Shu didn't stop writing, just hummed and said, "I will finish it soon, don't worry."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the emperor step into the palace.

Yuwen Lan was just hearing the conversation between the master and servant. He didn't bother to ask for greetings, but just asked, "What's the matter? You didn't even have a good dinner?"

Yan Shu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I heard a very outrageous thing today. I must expose it, otherwise I will feel guilty."

What?

As soon as this was said, not only Yuwen Lan, but everyone in the palace became curious.

Especially Fu Hai, who was anxious to say in his heart, "What happened again? Your Majesty, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly. Yan Shu

was just about to ask everyone to listen, and now she said directly to the emperor, "General Wu'an is seriously ill. He has been seeing doctors outside the palace for more than a month, but his condition has not improved. His family wanted to come to the palace to ask the imperial physician to see him, but his nephew Han Xing'an, who was the heir, blocked it in every way and lied to his family, saying that he had already asked Your Majesty, but Your Majesty did not agree. In my opinion, this person is just waiting for General Wu'an to die early so that he can inherit his family property. However, he slandered Your Majesty's love for his subjects. It is really intolerable."

What?

After the voice fell, everyone in the palace was stunned.

Yuwen Lan frowned and asked, "Is it true?"

But Yan Shu nodded vigorously, "It must be true. Today at the Queen Mother's place, I saw with my own eyes that General Wu'an's concubine, Madam Shao, came to the Queen Mother and begged her, saying that General Wu'an was seriously ill and there was no other way, so she came to ask the Queen Mother for help. The Queen Mother cared about General Wu'an's hard work and great contributions, so she sent Imperial Doctor Jiang on the spot. Otherwise, did your nephew really go to ask you for help?"

Yuwen Lan immediately denied, "Of course not, if he had, how could I not allow it?" As soon as he

finished speaking, Fu Hai couldn't help but said, "How could this young master Han do such a thing? General Wu'an made him his heir for the sake of his family. His own son is still guarding the border in Liangzhou!"

Hearing this, Yuwen Lan also got angry and immediately said, "Fu Hai, ask the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard and the Minister of War to go to General Wu'an's mansion to find out the whole story, and ask the imperial physician Jiang to do his best to treat him. General Wu'an has made countless contributions to the country, and we can't let those who are loyal to the country be disappointed."

Fu Hai immediately agreed and hurried out to pass on the message.

Seeing this, Yan Shu was relieved.

However, she hadn't finished writing the storybook yet, so she said something to Yuwen Lan and sat down at the table to write.

Seeing this, Yuwen Lan advised, "I have already asked them to investigate, you can take a rest."

But she said, "Your Majesty asking people to investigate is one thing, but Han Xing'an has done such a thing that is intolerable to heaven, and he must be despised by the whole world. I will write this story and send it out, and tomorrow morning I will ask the people to see his true face."

Ahem, the main thing is that her big boss is still waiting for her, and she has to share it with the Queen Mother as soon as possible.

Yuwen Lan, "..."

He knew it was for the Queen Mother again.

Tsk, with her being so filial to the Queen Mother, he can rest assured.

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Rendong coming to the table with a bowl of porridge and said, "Master, this is moist lily and longan porridge, just cooked. You should at least have a bowl. You didn't eat much for dinner just now, so you should not wake up hungry in the middle of the night."

However, Yanshu had already picked up the pen to write. She didn't even raise her eyes when she heard this, but just said, "Then feed it to me."

Rendong replied yes and fed her porridge.

Yuwen Lan saw this and suddenly stepped forward to signal Ren Dong to stand up. Then he took the bowl of porridge and sat beside her to feed her himself.

Yan Shu ate it mouthful by mouthful. Not to mention that she ate it very happily, she did not even delay her writing. But

while she was eating, she suddenly said, "Spoon less, it's hot."

Yuwen Lan hummed and scooped less.

When he fed it into her mouth, she chewed it twice and swallowed it, and did not forget to praise, "Great, you are a teachable child."

Yuwen Lan, "..."

This was probably the first person who said that to him.

On the side, Ren Dong did not dare to speak and lowered her head to pretend not to hear.

Yuwen Lan continued to feed her porridge, and finally finished the bowl.

But just as he put down his bowl and chopsticks, he saw Yan Shu pouting again.

Huh?

What does this mean?

He couldn't help but think, could it be that she wants to... kiss?

But to be honest, this is the first time she has taken the initiative to ask for his affection.

Yuwen Lan's heart moved, and he coughed secretly, and was about to step forward. But he

saw her frowning and said, "Why don't you wipe my mouth? My mouth is sticky and it's uncomfortable."

Yuwen Lan, "???" She

actually wants to wipe her mouth? Beside her, Rendong quickly handed her a handkerchief. Yuwen Lan, "..." had to take it and wiped her. After wiping, he waved his hand again. Seeing this, Rendong hurriedly retreated. There were only two people left in the hall. Not long after, Yan Shu said again, "Drink tea." ——Just drank sweet porridge, and her mouth was a little greasy. Yuwen Lan hurriedly fed her a sip of tea. After about two quarters of an hour, she finally put down her pen and exhaled, "I've finished it!" Yuwen Lan also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've finally finished it." As soon as he finished speaking, she looked at him in surprise and said, "Why is your majesty here? Wasn't Rendong standing next to me just now?" Yuwen Lan, "???" So after serving her for a long time, she didn't even know who he was? ... ~~ Early the next morning, the new work of Xiaoyao Gongzi was published again. This sudden surprise naturally made readers rush to buy it again and read it. After reading it, everyone found that the story this time was different from the past. It was about the passionate love between men and women. ——The story begins with an unfortunate girl from an official family. Because of her elders' crimes, she was reduced to a prostitute and exiled to the frontier. Just when she was about to fall into the mud, a young general suddenly appeared and exchanged her freedom with military merit. The two fell in love with each other day and night, but due to etiquette and secularity, they could not become a formal couple. In desperation, the girl had to stay with the general as a concubine. ——Reading this, readers just think that the lovers finally got married and could live a happy life. But she changed her tone and wrote: Even so, the general's elders still could not tolerate it. In desperation, the general and the girl had to give in again and made their nephew their adopted son. After that, they went to the battlefield three times and made countless contributions to the country. Even though they were covered with wounds, they just wanted to stay with their loved ones and reduce the malicious hurt from the outside world. But in their old age, they were threatened by the nephew who was adopted. In order to enjoy the general's property as soon as possible, the nephew refused to treat the general and tried to drag the general to death. He even tried to force the heroine to death after the general's death to remove the "family shame" and cover up his own crimes. ... After reading this, everyone was furious and wanted to know who this vicious nephew was. Of course, the incident between General Wu'an and Mrs. Shao had also caused a sensation in the capital, so it didn't take much effort for everyone to guess who this person was. - If it weren't for the family background of the general's mansion, the angry readers would probably repeat the scene of throwing rotten vegetable leaves at Bamian Bookstore a while ago. At this time, the king in the palace also received the report from the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei and the Minister of War. "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for verification. General Wu'an has indeed been ill for more than a month. It was just a cold at first, but it involved an old injury in his lungs, so ordinary medicine is not effective. He has had a fever for several days. The general's concubine, Mrs. Shao, and his concubine repeatedly begged his heir Han Xing'an to come to the palace to ask for an imperial doctor, but Han Xing'an was perfunctory on the grounds that Your Majesty refused." "Until yesterday, Mrs. Shao couldn't bear it anymore and went out to the palace to ask for the Queen Mother's order. The General's Mansion then waited for Doctor Jiang to come. Doctor Jiang has been guarding the general for a day and a night. General Wu'an's fever has gone away. According to Doctor Jiang, the situation is getting better." When the words fell, the king saw his face turned green and said angrily, "Asshole!" "How dare you disregard the lives of your elders and slander me! Take down Han Xing'an immediately!" Humph, how could such a person deserve the preferential treatment he gave to military generals? When General Wu'an recovered, he would be asked to appoint a new heir.
