The Emperor ignored the blackened Zhenbei Marquis who had been struck by lightning and asked anxiously, "Fu'er, what is your master's name and where does he live?"
If such a big man could be invited to be the national teacher, then in the future if any minister displeased him, wouldn't he be able to secretly kill that minister?
Wei Fudao said, "My master's surname is Lao, and his given name is Fengtou. Everyone calls him Lao Fengtou. I have lived in the mountains since I was a baby. The farthest place I have been is the town. This time I returned to the capital, I took the ox cart of the Wang family. I set out before dawn and walked for more than two days."
"We're all very poor over there, and the houses we live in are all leaky. However, before I came back, my master told me that if the emperor's uncle wants to look for him, he told me to tell you that you won't be able to find him. Don't waste manpower, material resources, and money. When a Taoist priest leaves the mountain, it's always a disaster. You should be happy if he doesn't come."
The Emperor: “…” Didn’t you waste your breath by talking so much earlier?
Just say that your master doesn’t want to see anyone!
Wei Fu pointed at the Marquis of Zhenbei and tugged at the emperor's sleeve: "Uncle Emperor, you'd better see how to deal with this scumbag first!" She couldn't kill her father, but there were others who could kill him!
After being struck by lightning, the Marquis of Zhenbei curled up on the ground, trying his best to endure the pain without making a sound, hoping that the emperor would forget his existence due to the shock. But he didn't expect Wei Fu to remind him specifically. He looked up at Wei Fu with resentful eyes.
Wei Fu immediately pulled the emperor's sleeve and complained: "Uncle Emperor, he is mean to me!"
The emperor looked at the minister beside him and asked, "How should we punish those who beat and abused the royal princess and intended to kill the royal descendants?"
A minister from the Ministry of Rites immediately said, "They should strip him of his title, abolish his official position, and tore his body apart by five horses. He should not be allowed to serve in the government for three generations."
"Your Majesty, the old lady of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion requests an audience. She said that if Your Majesty does not see her, she will kill herself by hitting her head against the palace gate so that people will know how Your Majesty... treats the families of meritorious officials." The little eunuch's voice gradually became smaller as he spoke, extremely frightened.
The emperor laughed in anger after hearing this: "Let her get hit and killed! It's just right that she dies before her son. Perhaps she can be reincarnated sooner and become his mother again."
Wei Fu said seriously, "She has committed too many evil deeds. She will first go to the hell of tongue-pulling, where she will suffer for 490 years before she can be reborn. Moreover, she will be reborn as an animal. So I'm afraid she won't be able to be the mother of her son."
"Fer is right. Uncle believes Fuer." The emperor looked at his weird little niece. Although he didn't believe her, he had to say that the ending her niece described made him feel relieved.
Seeing that he was doomed, the Marquis of Zhenbei said, "It was useless to show weakness and plead for mercy. Your Majesty, are you really going to force me to reveal all that happened to Princess Yahe?"
He suddenly laughed a little crazily and said, "If I die, I will definitely drag Princess Yahe down with me and make her infamous forever!"
When the previous emperor passed away, the palace suddenly changed and was in chaos. Therefore, few people knew that Princess Yahe was kidnapped and disappeared for a night before being rescued. However, the Marquis of Zhenbei knew about it because it was he who led people to bring Princess Yahe back to the palace from the dilapidated temple.
At that time, Princess Yahe had already lost her virginity and was afraid of men. It was the Marquis of Zhenbei who took the risk of being beaten by Princess Yahe and took her back with great patience.
Not only did he not despise Princess Yahe for losing her virginity, he also sincerely asked the Emperor and the Empress Dowager for her hand in marriage.
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager were grateful for his tolerance. In addition, Princess Yahe was found to be pregnant in the second month after returning to the palace, so they had to hastily marry Princess Yahe to the Marquis of Zhenbei.
The emperor originally thought that the two would be a loving couple, but he did not expect that the Marquis of Zhenbei was such a person.
He was angry and clenched his fists, but he had to consider Yahe and the princess's reputation.
Wei Fu looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei, then at the emperor, his head full of questions: "Uncle Emperor, what bad things did my mother do?" When the Marquis of Zhenbei was brought in earlier, her mother's face did not look like she had done something bad!
It’s just that there was originally a fatal disaster, but it has been broken now.
The emperor looked at the ministers in the imperial study who were gossiping and said, "My dear ministers, please withdraw first."
"Fu'er, go see your mother too."
Although Wei Fu was curious, his master had told him that he could offend anyone except the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Since they weren't familiar with him yet, he had to be a good boy and be obedient.
She nodded and jumped off the emperor's lap.
The emperor's heart trembled at the sight.
The palace maid beside her also hurried over to support Wei Fu. The moment the palace maid touched Wei Fu's hand, she thought inappropriately in this cold and serious atmosphere: Wow, why are the princess's hands so soft.
So little girls are such touchable creatures?
After she led Wei Fu out of the hall, the smile on her face could no longer be hidden and it came out.
Wei Fu felt his whole body crawling under the gaze of this palace maid. He glanced at her cautiously and always felt that this palace maid seemed to want to eat children.
So she unconsciously quickened her pace.
Walking all the way to the side hall, Wei Fu heard a fierce cursing voice before he even entered: "You have been bullied to this extent, why don't you come to the palace to report? Do you think that I and your brother are dead?"
Then came the sound of Princess Yahe crying and apologizing.
Wei Fu let go of the palace maid's hand, ran in, and gently tugged at the queen mother's long skirt: "Grandmother, please don't scold my mother. My mother doesn't want to be beaten."
Although she didn't understand why the princess didn't kick her scumbag father out after being beaten, she knew that no one wanted to be beaten. She didn't like being beaten, so every time her master wanted to beat her, she would run away as fast as she could to avoid being hit.
The Queen Mother felt her clothes become heavier. When she turned around, she saw a little girl with fair, tender skin and eyes that looked a bit like her daughter, just like a glutinous rice dumpling.
Her heart melted instantly, and she hugged Wei Fu and kissed him: "Oh, grandma's little darling, I am finally able to see you."
Princess Yahe felt relieved when she saw that the Queen Mother also liked Wei Fu.
The Queen Mother hugged Wei Fu and kissed him for a while. Thinking about how Princess Yahe was beaten every day after she got married and how they even sent their daughter away, she scolded him with dismay, "How did you become a princess?"
"As a daughter of the royal family, you have the dignity to be so dignified. You have lost your innocence. It is shameful to be bullied like this! And this is the first time in over five years that I, your grandmother, have seen my granddaughter. If the Marquis of Zhenbei is a bad man, you can just return to the palace and let your brother and I divorce him. It's hard to find a good man, but you are a princess, so you can just keep a few lovers."
