Chapter 378 The Queen Mother's Big News

Before long, a monk led Han Lie into a meditation room.

The Queen Mother of Daxia was dressed in plain clothes, sitting on the meditation bed with her eyes downcast.

Han Lie walked into the meditation room and quickly looked around the room. Seeing that there was no one else in the room except the Queen Mother, he immediately turned around and closed the door.

The Queen Mother heard the sound of the door being bolted and her eyes widened in shock.

"Why bolt the door?" The Queen Mother asked coldly, feeling a little tense.

Han Lie, however, was very excited, his eyes were a little wet, he stared at the Queen Mother, trembling, "Hui Er, open your eyes and take a good look at me!"

"Look who I am?"

At this time, outside the meditation room, Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse were squatting under the window, listening to the sound furtively.

Both of them had a look of eating a big melon.

In the delivery room, the Queen Mother heard Han Lie's words and was shocked, "Your name is Hui Er?"

"Are you my old friend?"

Han Lie's eyes were red and tears welled up in his eyes. He suppressed his emotions and took two steps towards the Queen Mother.

"Hui'er, come closer and take a good look at me. It's me!"

Han Lie suddenly changed to a gentle tone and said slowly, "Miss, your fingering is wrong again."

The Queen Mother's face changed suddenly, and her hands trembled.

"You...you...you are Brother Changqing?"

"You are Han Changqing?!"

The Queen Mother stumbled off the Zen bed, rushed to Han Lie, and grabbed his robe in a daze.

Han Lie stretched out his hands and hugged the Queen Mother's shoulders: "Yes, Hui'er, I am your Brother Changqing!"

"I recognized you at a glance this morning, why don't you recognize me?"

"Open your eyes and take a good look at me!"

Han Lie excitedly grabbed the Queen Mother's hand and put it on his face.

At this time, outside the Zen room, Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse looked at each other.

The two exchanged glances.

Liang Chaozong: What's going on?

Yao Jinse: You ask me, who should I ask?

Inside the house, the Queen Mother held Han Lie's face, tears already streaming down her face.

"You, how did you become the Prime Minister of Dai Viet?"

"Why haven't you heard from you for more than 30 years?"

"I thought you were dead! So many nights, I cried in my dreams and wet my pillow."

"You damn it! You bastard! You've made me suffer so much!"

The Queen Mother became more and more excited, and beat Han Lie's chest violently with both hands.

Han Lie didn't dodge or stop, and just let her beat him.

Suddenly, Han Lie staggered and almost fell down.

The Queen Mother stopped her movements suddenly, and then changed her expression to one of concern.

"Are you okay? Sit down quickly. You too, why didn't you hide when I hit you?"

The Queen Mother scolded, helped Han Lie to sit on the Zen bed, and sat down beside him.

Han Lie, with tears on his face, smiled and said, "Hui'er, I owe you. Even if you beat me to death, I have no complaints." The

Queen Mother turned her face away: "You are still so slick. Tell me, how did you run to Dai Viet and become the prime minister?"

Han Lie and the Queen Mother stared at each other, and their memories went back to more than 30 years ago.

Han Lie's original name was Han Changqing.

Han Changqing was born into a family of officials. He learned poetry, calligraphy, and the six arts since he was a child. He was also a carefully cultivated young man.

However, when he was in his teens, his family fell into poverty.

In order to support himself, he had to earn his living.

Fortunately, he learned the skills of playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in his youth, and he made a living by teaching people the six arts.

Han Changqing's piano skills were very superb, and he was tall, handsome and had an extraordinary temperament.

Over time, his reputation spread. At that time, the upper class in the capital knew that there was a young man named Han who was best at teaching people to play the piano.

Therefore, many wealthy families competed to invite him to teach their children to play the piano.

That year, the Jiang family wanted to find a piano teacher for their three daughters who were about to get married.

In this way, Han Changqing became the piano teacher of the Jiang family.

At that time, Jiang Hui, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, was only sixteen years old and had just begun to fall in love. She fell in love with the twenty-two-year-old Han Changqing

at first sight. Han Changqing also fell in love with the beautiful and lovely eldest daughter of the Jiang family at first sight.

On the surface, the two of them were cautious in their words and deeds, but in private, they had already made a vow to be together forever.

What's more terrible is that this young man and woman, under the strong love and impulse, tasted the forbidden fruit.

Jiang Hui, who was only sixteen years old, became pregnant with Han Changqing's child, who later became Yao Jinse, the illegitimate daughter.

In the meditation room, Han Lie held the Queen Mother's hand, "That year, after they found out about our affair, they locked you up and tied me up and beat me up."

"I was beaten half to death. Originally, your father and your elder brother wanted to kill me, but they didn't want to dirty their hands."

"So, after they beat me half to death, they asked a family slave to drag me to the suburbs in the middle of the night and bury me alive."

"Perhaps the servant felt sorry for me and couldn't bear to kill me, so he threw me to the outskirts without burying me."

The Queen Mother listened attentively. When she heard this, she held Han Lie's hand tightly and said, "What happened later? How did you survive with such serious injuries?"

Han Lie continued, "Maybe I was not destined to die. In the early morning, a carriage passed by, found me, and saved me."

"And the person in the carriage happened to be a merchant from Dai Viet. So, I went to Dai Viet."

"In Dai Viet, I did some copying and accounting work for the merchant."

"Later, I thought of you, but I still felt unwilling to give up. I wanted to stand out, so I studied hard at night and finally passed the imperial examination in Dai Viet." When

the Queen Mother heard this, her brows relaxed a lot, as if she was happy for Han Lie.

Han Lie's eyes were red, "I wanted to go back to Daxia to find you and ask your father for marriage."

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes, "But it was too late at that time. The second year after I separated from you, my father arranged for me to marry the emperor and become the queen."

Han Lie's eyes were red and his voice was trembling, "After I became an official in Dai Viet, I sent people to inquire, but I got the news that you entered the palace. At that time, I didn't want to live. I knew that I could never be with you again."

The room fell into silence.

After a moment, the Queen Mother pulled Han Lie's hand and said happily: "Brother Changqing, do you know? I gave birth to the child outside."

Han Lie's eyes trembled violently: "What? You gave birth to our child?"

Back then, the two had an affair, and Jiang Hui became pregnant. Jiang's mother and Jiang Hui's two sisters noticed that something was wrong with her, and then they found out about her and Han Lie.

After the Jiang family separated the two, they originally wanted to abort the child, but Jiang's mother was soft-hearted for a moment, fearing that an abortion would harm her daughter's life. After

hesitating for a long time, the Jiang family let Jiang Hui give birth to the child.

The Queen Mother nodded vigorously: "Yes, I gave birth to our child, it's a daughter, and she looks very much like you."
