Chapter 845 Young General vs. Rich Lady 148
When the palace gates were locked, the ministers were driven out by the royal guards, but they still lingered at the palace gates and refused to leave.
More and more students gathered at the palace gate, some even came from other places, and it was obvious that they were well prepared.
Hua Zhongyan was pleased to see the grand scene before him. He called his son and whispered, "Gou Xun only has this much ability. What's the use of these young students? They are nameless and who would recognize them? Go and invite some great scholars to come. If the Hua family comes forward, they will definitely come."
"The scholars of the world are united in attacking Huo Xiao. I don't believe that King Wei can still protect him."
Hua Yao said: "Father is wise, I will do it right away. Huo Xiao is too arrogant, he doesn't even take the Hua family seriously, he really thinks that everything will be fine if he pleases King Wei. As long as he is sent to prison, Huo Xiao will definitely die!"
Hua Zhongyan patted Hua Yao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My son is young and full of vigor. He only wants to vent his anger for his sister. He is a good brother."
"But Yao'er, you must remember to leave a way out for everything and don't kill them all. If Huo Xiao can change his ways and be on good terms with our Hua family, the Hua family can save his life! But he can't marry Xi'er anymore, so just find a girl from the side branch to get rid of her."
"The Hua family has been passed down to this day, like a towering tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. There are countless old friends and relatives. Huo Xiao thinks he is tall and can reach far, but he doesn't know that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. He is too weak and will fall down when the wind blows. He can't withstand the slightest storm. Relying on the Hua family is his only way out."
At the same time, in Yikun Palace, the Regent met with the Queen Mother in private.
It was late at night and the candlelight was dim, casting two figures on the screen, one sitting and one standing.
The empress dowager had taken off her makeup and was not wearing any fancy clothes or ornaments. She looked pale and thin, as if she could be blown away by the wind. But her eyes were so beautiful, as bright as stars, and even though they were filled with anger and hatred, they still had a different flavor.
The Regent touched the Queen Mother's face, his tone full of nostalgia, "I still like the way you look with tears in your eyes, crying and begging me not to do it, but in the end you become soft like a puddle under me, your eyes blurred..."
A sense of shame ran through the Queen Mother's body, causing her to tremble all over. She slapped the Regent's hand away and angrily said, "Stay away from me!"
The regent laughed indifferently, "You still have such a bad temper. My good brother is still participating in the imperial selection at such an old age. You entered the palace at the same age. The late king couldn't satisfy you, right? I am having sex with you. Aren't you happy?"
"Little sister-in-law, I haven't been here for a long time. The palace is lonely. Don't you miss me?"
The Queen Mother's nails dug into her palms, and the sharp pain brought back a trace of her sanity. She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would drag the Regent to death with her!
Yin'er hasn't grown up yet, she can't die yet.
"I entered the palace voluntarily. The previous king did not force all women of the right age to participate in the selection. I wanted to fight for a way out. Entering the palace is my best choice."
"The late king treated me very well. He doted on me and loved me, and wanted me to have children. The harem had few children, and many died in the womb. Those that were born did not live long. The queen also hoped to have a child, and she treated me very kindly."
"I have enjoyed unprecedented wealth and splendor, and my mother and sister are also living well. What else can I not be satisfied with? That is the best life I can imagine!"
"It's you! It's you who ruined everything! The late king treated you like his own son. You grew up in the palace. After you became an adult, you still lived in the palace and accompanied the late king. In the selection that year, the late king married a wife and concubines for you and let you choose freely. In the end, he selected a few beauties to enter the palace."
"Wei Shuo, you have beautiful wives and concubines, all of whom are good-looking, why do you have to cling to me?"
The regent's eyes were full of affection. "Of course it's because I love you! You love me too, don't you? My brother is old, and I am young, what reason do you have not to love me? We have made love so many times, and you have never refused, right? Why are you pretending to be a chaste heroine now?"
The regent's eyes suddenly turned sinister, "Or are you attracted to someone else? Is it Huo Xiao? Don't you see what kind of character you have? You are a broken branch and a withered willow. Huo Xiao has beautiful concubines by his side, and the Hua family girls chasing after him. It's just me who doesn't despise you because of our past friendship."
The Queen Mother was very frightened and kept hiding behind her. There was a bed behind her. She fell down on the bed and tears flowed uncontrollably.
But she didn't want to show weakness, and glared at the regent fiercely, "You disregard human ethics and covet concubines. You are worse than pigs and dogs! Every time you touch me, I feel extremely disgusted!"
"You're pestering me, and I have no other options. I'm afraid that if this matter gets out, the late king will definitely not punish his only younger brother, and I'll have no choice but to die! I'm still so young, I don't want to die! Apart from going along with you, what else can I do?"
"Wei Shuo, I don't love you at all! Countless nights, I woke up from nightmares, and I wanted to kill you, eat your flesh, and drink your blood!"
The Regent was so angry that he grabbed the Queen Mother's neck. He felt pleased when he saw her face turn red and her limbs struggling!
The late king's favorite concubine could only crawl under him. Such pleasure could not be given by any other woman.
Why couldn't he be the King of Wei? He had finally survived until the previous king died, so he should inherit the throne!
The late king was in poor health, and it was not easy for him to get a woman pregnant, and even if she did get pregnant it was difficult to keep the baby. He also found a way to get rid of the two princes who were born. A child could easily die from a headache or fever, and the late king never suspected him.
The late queen's family was powerful, and keeping them would be a trouble. Fortunately, after the late king died, the queen also died of depression, so he was spared from taking action, and the two of them were buried together with great ceremony!
The only problem left was a baby in swaddling clothes, so it was easy to deal with.
Originally, Wei Yin was not going to survive. It was all because of that bitch who deceived him for so many years!
The regent ripped open the queen mother's nightgown roughly and pounced on her like a madman, "Bitch! You didn't give birth prematurely back then. You changed the history books and made me mistakenly believe that the late king didn't favor you during that time. In fact, you are pregnant with the late king's child!"
"That brat should have died long ago. I have kept him for so many years. I have done my best! You have rejected me so many times. Do you really think I have no temper? I can kill that brat at any time! If you had known better, I could have kept him for a few more days...ah!"
The regent covered his heart and screamed. The queen mother held a pair of bloody scissors, her hands shaking, "You...you get out! Get out!"
The Queen Mother was too weak and the Regent was only slightly injured. She waved the scissors around wildly, trying to force him back.
The regent became more and more annoyed. He snatched the scissors and threw them on the ground, then pulled the belt and tied the Queen Mother's hands.
"You are becoming more and more disobedient! You relied on Gou Xun, but Gou Xun was useless. Now you rely on Huo Xiao, but Huo Xiao is going to die soon."
"I think you are tired of living. Believe it or not, I will kill that brat tomorrow and send you off with me!"
