Chapter 64



Everyone in Ci'an Palace was shocked when they heard Fu Hai's words. The Queen

Mother was also stunned, thinking that she had heard wrongly, and hurriedly asked Fu Hai, "What did you say? What girl?"

Fu Hai had to slow down his tone and said, "Your Majesty, the thing is, didn't General Dingyuan fall off his horse and get injured last night? Your Majesty was very concerned, so you sent people to investigate the matter. As a result, they found out that the matter was related to Marquis Pingjin."

What, Marquis Pingjin?

The Queen Mother was startled again, and hurriedly asked, "What does this have to do with him?"

Fu Hai had to explain, "Because your majesty sent the Jinyiwei to track down the person who colliding with the general last night. According to this person's account, it was Marquis Pingjin who arranged for him to attack the general."

The Queen Mother was startled again, frowned and said, "Why did Marquis Pingjin attack General Dingyuan? Isn't he Anbang's brother-in-law?"

Yan Shu silently sympathized with the Queen Mother. After all, the storybook she just published only wrote the story of the real and fake daughter, and did not explain other things about the scumbag Marquis Pingjin Huo Chengji, so the Queen Mother was afraid that she was a little surprised.

But Fu Hai said, "Your Majesty is still asking people to investigate why Marquis Pingjin sent people to attack General Yu, but the most important thing right now is that when the Jinyiwei found Marquis Pingjin, he was not at home, but with his mistress."

What?

The Queen Mother was stunned again, "Huo Chengji actually has a mistress?"

Yan Shu, "..."

Poor Queen Mother, tsk.

And Fu Hai had to nod and say, "This was told by Marquis Pingjin's confidant. The woman is indeed Marquis Pingjin's mistress, and he has been raising her for more than ten years."

Perhaps she had experienced too many surprises today. When she said this, the Queen Mother finally couldn't hold back her emotions and said, "This is a bastard!"

Yan Shu hurriedly followed everyone else and bowed her head, pretending not to hear.

The Queen Mother saw it, calmed down, and asked Fu Hai, "What does this matter have to do with the girl you mentioned just now?"

Fu Hai quickly said, "Because the matter was related to the injury of a general, it was of great importance. The Jinyi Guards interrogated the Marquis of Pingjin, his concubine and other servants. They didn't know that the concubine's personal maid actually confessed that the girl from the Huo family today is not Madam Huo's biological child. It turned out that the Marquis of Pingjin exchanged his concubine's daughter for his own daughter, and sent his own daughter to a peasant family named Peng."

"..."

The Queen Mother was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Fu Hai added, "This is a matter of great importance. Your Majesty immediately ordered people to follow the clues to find the farmer named Peng. They discovered that they had adopted a baby girl more than ten years ago. It seems that she is Mrs. Huo's biological child."

"???"

The Queen Mother was shocked and puzzled.

——The story she just heard was about her cousin???

This, this, this is the closest one to me...

The Queen Mother was confused for a while, and asked hurriedly, "What is the situation now?"

Fu Hai said hurriedly, "Now the Jinyiwei has taken this girl to General Dingyuan's mansion to meet Mrs. Huo, but General Dingyuan has just been injured, and the mansion is in chaos. Your Majesty is worried that it will affect General Yu's recovery, so you specially sent me to ask for your will to see how to deal with this matter?"

The Queen Mother already understood, and nodded hurriedly, "Didn't you say that there are still patients in the Yu family now? Wouldn't it be even more chaotic? Ask Mrs. Huo to come to me, and I will see how to deal with this matter."

Yan Shu, "???"

Wasn't the Queen Mother leaning on the couch with a sluggish face just now?

Now she has time to meddle in other people's business?

Fu Hai also looked worried and said, "But your phoenix body..."

But the Queen Mother shook her hand and said, "It doesn't matter, there are more important things to do. Ask Madam Huo to come over."

Fu Hai then said yes and went out to call people.

Yan Shu's eyes lit up -

it really wasn't in vain to serve the Queen Mother these days. Only by following the boss can you eat the live melon!

Not long after, Madam Huo arrived at the palace.

And this time, the one following her was not the fake legitimate daughter with a charming appearance, but another girl of similar age.

Mrs. Huo had obviously cried hard, her eyes were red and swollen, and she had lost her usual heroic spirit and spirit. When she saw the Queen Mother, she immediately knelt down and cried with a face full of grievance, "Your Majesty! Please help me... How can he be so cruel..."

Then she grabbed the girl who followed her and cried again, "My poor child..."

The Queen Mother also said angrily, "Get up quickly, don't cry first, I just heard that Huo Chengji is really bullying people too much!"

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly looked at the girl brought by Mrs. Huo.

She also had a round face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she was 80% similar to Mrs. Huo!

This, this, this, what is there to doubt?

The Queen Mother could only sigh again, "You have all been wronged."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huo burst into tears again, her face flushed, and she was heartbroken.

The maid who came with her also reached out to hold her in her arms, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and comforted her, "... Mother, don't cry, take care of yourself." After

the voice fell, Mrs. Huo remembered the business, and hurriedly said to the maid, "Hui Ying, come and pay respects to the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi."

Then she introduced her to the Queen Mother Yan Shu, "This is my own flesh and blood, now called Hui Ying..."

While speaking, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

The girl named Hui Ying hurriedly paid respects to Yan Shu and the Queen Mother, "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi."

Although she was a little reserved, she could be seen to be well-behaved. The Queen Mother

hurriedly asked someone to help her up, saying, "Hurry up, my good child. You have suffered so much over the years. How did you get through this? Are your foster parents treating you well?" The real daughter Huiying hurriedly said, "My parents... my foster parents love me very much, and I have not suffered much." At this time, everyone's eyes were all on this little girl. Although her temperament was slightly inferior to those of the officials' noble ladies, her face was fair and her hands were not rough, which showed that she had not suffered too much. It was just that she probably had not had time to dress up, and her clothes were still a little inconspicuous. However, seeing this, Mrs. Huo felt more and more uncomfortable, and wanted to hug her dear daughter and cry.

But the daughter of the emperor's wife said with a worried look on her face, "It's just that...someone suddenly came to my house to look for me this morning, and I just found out about this...Just now those officials took away the parents of the Peng family, and I don't know what to do."

Yan Shu hurriedly comforted her, "Maybe those Jinyiwei took your adoptive parents away because they wanted to understand the situation back then. As long as they haven't done anything bad, they won't blame them. Maybe they will send them back after a while. Don't worry."

Huiying nodded and said, "That's good, thank you, Your Majesty."

Although she was still a little timid, she was obviously a filial child, and she never cried or complained about her grievances, which made people feel relieved and distressed at the same time.

You know, this is the child who should enjoy the love of Madam Huo!

The Queen Mother sighed and lamented, and silently cursed Pingjin Hou Huo Chengji for his confusion, and hurriedly asked her cousin, Mrs. Huo, "By the way, how is Anbang's leg now? I heard that his injury is also related to Huo Chengji?"

Mrs. Huo wiped her tears and said with swollen eyes, "Please forgive me for not knowing..."

Alas, since she knew the truth and saw her own flesh and blood, she only cared about the child and threw all other news behind her.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to nod.

But at this moment, a message suddenly sounded outside the palace, "Your Majesty is here..."

Yuwen Lan stepped into the palace.

Everyone hurriedly saluted, and Mrs. Huo couldn't help crying again when she saw him.

Seeing this, Yuwen Lan said, "Madam, don't worry. I will definitely find out the truth and give you justice."

Madam Huo kowtowed to him again and cried, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother hurriedly asked, "I just heard from Fu Hai that Huo Chengji murdered General Dingyuan? What is going on?"

But Yuwen Lan said, "I have asked someone to bring Marquis Pingjin here. It is better to let him tell you in person."

As he said this, he waved to the outside of the hall.

In a moment, the guards pushed a person into the hall. It was none other than Marquis Pingjin Huo Chengji.

Madam Huo was immediately filled with hatred. She no longer cared about the rules. She rushed to him, grabbed his collar and yelled at him, "You bastard! Why do you treat me like this!!!"

As she spoke, tears as big as beans kept falling, showing how aggrieved she was.

Huiying, the concubine, hurried forward to support her. Madam Huo took the opportunity to hold the concubine and questioned Huo Chengji, "Isn't this your own flesh and blood? How can you treat her like this!!! You cruel man!!!"

Everyone in the hall glared at him angrily.

But Huo Chengji fell to his knees and kowtowed to Madam Huo, crying, "Madam, I'm so sorry. I was just confused for a moment..."

After saying this, before Madam Huo could say anything, the Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Confused for a moment? Even if you were confused for a moment, why didn't you take the initiative to confess the truth in all these years?"

Huo Chengji hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I have made a big mistake. I'm afraid that once I tell you the truth, you will be angry. Plus, the matter is of great importance, so I have been delaying it..." "

Nonsense!"

Cough cough, the Queen Mother originally wanted to curse him.

However, in front of the emperor, she still had to pay attention to her image, so she endured it again and again, and then changed to this word, and said angrily again, "What is more important than your own flesh and blood being stranded outside? Don't you think about how dangerous it was when your wife gave birth! Your conscience has been eaten by a dog!!!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. The queen mother simply said, "Fu Hai, slap him!"

Fu Zongguan, who was suddenly named, was stunned at first, and hurriedly looked at the king, but seeing that the king had no intention of objecting, he hurriedly agreed, walked up to Huo Chengji, rolled up his sleeves, raised his arms, and slapped him twice.

Tsk, he also wanted to slap this man a long time ago, and he had never seen such a disgusting man!

The crisp slapping sound suddenly rang out in the hall. Yan Shu just wanted to slap Fu Hai and cheer him on. She also felt satisfied in her heart. This dog man, even if he was slapped ten times, it would not be too much!

Then, Huo Chengji's face immediately became red and swollen, but he did not dare to complain at all. He could only cover his face and kowtow repeatedly, saying, "I know my crime, I know my crime..."

But the Queen Mother was still furious, and asked, "What crime do you know? You delayed the mother and daughter for so long! How dare you make General Dingyuan fall off his horse? What on earth are you thinking!!!"

Before these words came out, the king spoke up, "If it weren't for General Dingyuan's good horsemanship, it would not just be a fall from the horse. You are deliberately plotting to kill the generals in the court. Are you colluding with someone to disrupt the country?"

Huo Chengji was startled and kowtowed again and cried, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am also a You are so confused. I just heard from Doctor Zhang that the harem has been in trouble one after another and the queen has very few left, so she wanted to ask my daughter to enter the palace to serve Your Majesty... But my wife went to the palace to visit the Queen Mother yesterday and was in a hurry to go back... I had to come up with this idea. I wanted to let them stay in the capital for a few more days... I absolutely have no intention of disrupting the country, Your Majesty..."

After the words fell, the Queen Mother finally understood and said angrily again, "Knowing that she is the daughter of a concubine, you still dare to covet the harem? It's simply hard to eliminate the hatred in people's hearts!"

Then she ordered Fu Hai, "Slap him twice more!"

Fu Hai agreed, and hurriedly stepped forward again, bent his arms and slapped the man's face hard.

Tsk, it only hurts my hand.

But I feel happy in my heart!

Then look at Huo Chengji again, blood is already flowing from the corner of his mouth.

However, no one sympathizes with him at the scene, and the queen mother is still full of anger.

This dog man, can actually do such a wicked thing, asking his wife to raise a child from his concubine, even if it is a stranger's! How can his wife face this matter!!!

But before the voice fell, the king suddenly said, "By the way, the Jinyiwei just reported something, I almost forgot it." As soon as

these words came out, everyone in the hall immediately looked at Yuwen Lan, and the queen mother also hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Yuwen Lan coughed, glanced at Huo Chengji, and said, "According to the servants of his concubine, the child is very likely not his."

What?

As soon as these words came out, the hall was stunned.

Huo Chengji was the first to react and asked, "What did your majesty say?"

Yuwen Lan repeated it to him in a cold voice, "Just now, the servant of the concubine said that she had been dating many other men behind your back. There was a businessman who had a close relationship with her. During that period, she spent more time with the businessman than you did. Therefore, this child is very likely the businessman's."

As soon as the words fell, Huo Chengji's eyes widened, as if struck by lightning.

Yan Shu secretly said "Fuck" and hurriedly called the system, "How could this happen? Is your information wrong?"

But the system slowly said, "I didn't say that the child was from a scumbag. I just said that when Mrs. Huo gave birth to a daughter, the concubine happened to give birth to a daughter first."

Yan Shu, "..."

Well, thinking carefully, the system didn't seem to say that this was Huo Chengji's flesh and blood...

She asked again with a face full of shock, "In other words, the fake daughter has no blood relationship with the Huo family?"

System, "You can say that."

Yan Shu couldn't help but say "Fuck" again, "Then this concubine is too bold! How dare she do such a thing? ! ! 】

System, 【This concubine is actually quite smart, she knows to be prepared for danger in times of peace. She knows that serving a man with her beauty cannot last long, and she is afraid that if the affair is exposed in the future, the scumbag will not want her, so she thought of such a way for the concubine - anyway, the concubine has been raised by the wife of the main wife, even if the scumbag knows that it is not his own flesh and blood one day, he dare not say it is not? In any case, her own concubine can always get a good ending. 】

Yan Shu, "..."

What a great guy!

It turns out that the biggest winner of this wave is the unknown businessman. Unknowingly, his own flesh and blood has been raised as the legitimate daughter of the marquis for more than ten years.

So the concubine is in true love with the businessman!

She looked at the scumbag Huo in front of her again, and couldn't help but sigh.

——Sure enough, people will always cheat on those who cheat on them.

This man has been busy for so many years, and now he is facing such a crime, which has nothing to do with him!

Is he going to collapse?

Others thought so too, and for a moment they all looked at Huo Chengji, who looked like he was struck by lightning, with a sarcastic look.

Only the king thought to himself -

"If a man is green, people will always think he is green?"

Mencius' famous saying was actually changed into this? ? ?

However, right after that, Huo Chengji began to bang his head against the ground and howl, "How could this happen? How could this happen!!! How could she do this to me!!! Oh my God!!!"

This really scared everyone, and Yuwen Lan ordered outside the palace, "Come here, drag her out and put her in the Tianlao. This person deceived the emperor and murdered the ministers. I order the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to intervene, find out the facts, and punish him according to the crime!"

Immediately, a guard responded, and then entered the palace to drag Huo Chengji away.

The Queen Mother reminded again, "That woman can't be let go! She actually played with the Pingjin Marquis Mansion and even the world by herself! What a joke!"

Yuwen Lan nodded and said yes, "Take her to the Tianlao together and punish her severely!" As soon as

the voice fell, everyone in the palace responded one after another, and it was very gratifying.

Mrs. Huo saluted the mother and son again, crying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, the Queen Mother, for doing justice for me."

The Queen Mother and Yuwen Lan both nodded, but she hugged her daughter Huiying and cried, "I'm sorry for you!"

Huiying was already in tears, wiping her mother's tears and saying, "Don't cry, mother, you are not the culprit, but you have suffered. Anyway, the truth is out now, and we will be fine in the future."

Everyone saw it and nodded silently in their hearts. Although the daughter had been raised in a farmer's family for so many years, she was still very sensible.

It can be seen that the farmer couple were also good people.

At this time, the Queen Mother asked again, "Then, what should we do with that child?"

Everyone was also stunned - yes, what should we do with that fake Miss Huo?

I thought she was still a descendant of the Huo family, but now it seems that she has no blood relationship with the Huo family at all?

Mrs. Huo also paused and cried again, "Since I learned the truth today, I have only been crying while holding Huiying, and I didn't think of Yingxia for a moment... That's also a child I raised by myself!"

Everyone thought to themselves, you are right, right? After all, she still has the blood of the concubine flowing in her body. If she stays with her in the future, will Mrs. Huo think of the concubine every time she sees her?

But you say she is wrong, she was taken to Mrs. Huo's side just a few days after she was born. A baby who only knows how to suckle, what can she decide for herself?

What's even more pitiful is that her mother is in prison, but her father is nowhere to be found...

Even if she wants to be sent, she doesn't know where to be sent...

And that was raised by Mrs. Huo, and she treated her as her own flesh and blood until yesterday. How could she bear to throw her out on the street?

Alas! After all, it's still the scumbag and the bitch who deserve to die! How many people have been harmed!

After sighing, everyone saw Mrs. Huo shaking her head and crying, which showed how much pain she was in.

Seeing this scene, the Queen Mother couldn't help but regret, why ask her this question now? She was also a victim, and that was also the child she raised with love. Isn't it cruel to ask her now?

Just as she was about to speak to ease the situation, Huiying suddenly said to her mother, "I am young and don't understand so many big principles. But I know that Peng's parents have loved me very much these years. If they can't find me, they will be very worried. Is it the same for you, mother? After all, she is the child you have raised for so many years. If she is lost, you must be very sad, right?"

As she said this, she wiped the tears from her mother's face and said with tears in her eyes, "I will listen to you."

After the voice fell, Mrs. Huo was speechless and could only hug her and cry again.

This child has suffered so much. The more sensible she is, the more pitiful she is. The empress dowager

was immediately relieved and nodded, saying, "Good child, you deserve a reward! The adoptive parents should be rewarded even more!"

Then she looked at the emperor and said, "Such a kind-hearted person should be praised and announced to the world. I plan to give this child the title of Xiangjun to comfort her for the grievances she has suffered over the years."

Yuwen Lan nodded, "Your Majesty is so kind."

Upon hearing this, everyone congratulated the mother and daughter, "Congratulations, Madam Huo, congratulations to Huiying Xiangjun."

Madam Huo hurriedly led her daughters to pay tribute to the mother and child, "Thank you, Madam Queen, and thank you, Your Majesty!" The

empress dowager added, "As for the Peng couple, they treat our adopted daughter as their own and teach her to be so sensible. I will reward them with 100 taels of gold and announce it to the world as a reward."

Huiying also hurriedly thanked her adoptive parents with a smile in her eyes.

Everyone was very relieved, but then the Queen Mother's expression turned cold and she said, "Huo Chengji is unworthy of his position. His title should be revoked and the eldest son should inherit it. As for the evil things he has done, he must not be shown mercy and must be severely punished so that the world can learn from it."

Yuwen Lan said yes again, but he did not forget to remind him, "Zhang Shengkang is the imperial physician and relies on the Queen Mother's trust. Encouraging others to covet the harem must be punished."

The Queen Mother sighed and nodded, "Yes, it is better to demote him by one level, deduct his salary for one year, and let him reflect on his mistakes."

Yuwen Lan said, "This is probably still too light, double it, demote Zhang Shengkang by two levels, and deduct his salary for two years. If he commits the same offense again in the future, he will never be lenient." The Queen Mother also

nodded. She said nothing more.

Yan Shu raised her eyebrows quietly.

——It seems that the Queen Mother still intends to ask Zhang Shengkang to treat the disease, but there is a rift after all. After all, demoting him by two levels is indeed quite harsh.

In this way, Doctor Jiang is actually above him.

Just thinking about this, the Queen Mother said to Mrs. Huo, "As for that child, I think, either find her biological father and send her back. If you really can't find her, she's already of marriageable age, so just find someone to marry her off. You'll feel bad if you keep her around."

[Tsk, to be honest, this girl has no blood relationship with the Huo family, which is more comfortable than having blood relationship. Humph, as expected, the scumbag deserves to be cuckolded! ]

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Well, these two women always have the same idea.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huo also hurriedly agreed.

Everyone heard it, but they felt complicated.

——Now that the truth is out, the girl has no relationship with the Huo family, and has become a "bastard" who can't find her father. Even if she gets married, what good family can she marry into?

Alas, after all, that man is still hateful!!!

In this way, the matter was temporarily dealt with, and Mrs. Huo led her concubines out of the palace first.

After this incident, the empress dowager had completely gotten rid of her previous illness and became energetic. She asked the emperor, "How does your majesty always know these secrets?"

- Although the case was investigated under the pretext of General Dingyuan's injury, the script was out early this morning. Even if it was written now, it would not be so fast!

So the empress dowager believed that the emperor must have checked out the script in advance and asked someone to write it in order to deal with Pingjin Marquis Huo Chengji.

This kid, how come he is so powerful?

Yuwen Lan listened silently and was choked for a moment.

However, Yan Shu hurriedly said for him, "I guess Your Majesty saw that Miss Huo doesn't look like Mrs. Huo. She doesn't look like her father either, so he became suspicious?"

Yuwen Lan wanted to nod, but quickly shook his head and frowned, "When did I ever pay attention to that girl's appearance? I just vaguely heard rumors in Tianjin, so I asked people to check it out."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Shu again, thinking - I almost fell into her trap.
