MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 64
Hearing Fu Hai's words at first, everyone in Ci'an Palace was shocked.
The queen mother was also taken aback, thinking that she had heard it wrong, she hurriedly asked Fu Hai, "What did you say? What girl?"
Fu Hai had no choice but to slow down his tone, and said again, "I would like to report to the Empress Dowager, the matter is like this, didn't General Dingyuan fall off his horse last night and was injured? His Majesty was very concerned, so he sent someone to investigate the matter. It turns out that this matter is related to Marquis Pingjin."
What, Marquis of Pingjin?
The Queen Mother was taken aback for another moment, then hurriedly said, "What does this matter have to do with him?"
Fu Hai had no choice but to explain, "Because His Majesty sent Jin Yiwei to track down the person who attacked the general last night. According to this person, Marquis Pingjin arranged for him to attack the general."
The queen mother was taken aback again, and frowned, "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, she only wrote the story of the real and fake daughter in the book, and did not explain other things about the scumbag Pingjin Marquis Huo Chengji, so the queen mother may be a little surprised at the moment.
But Fuhai said again, "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 Jin Yiwei found Marquis Pingjin, he was not at home, but in the outer room." .”
What?
The queen mother was taken aback again, "Huo Chengji actually has an outside room?"
Yanshu, "..."
Poor queen, tsk.
And Fu Hai had no choice but to nod again, "This is what Pingjinhou's cronies told me. That woman is indeed Pingjinhou's concubine, and she has been raising her for more than ten years."
Probably experienced too many surprises today, the queen mother finally couldn't hold back her emotions when she said this, and said, "This bastard!"
Yan Shu hurriedly followed the crowd and lowered her head, pretending not to hear.
Seeing it in her eyes, the queen mother calmed down, and asked Fu Hai, "Then what does this have to do with the girl you mentioned just now?"
Fu Hai hurriedly said again, "Because it was about the injury of the general, it was really serious. Jin Yiwei interrogated Marquis Pingjin, the other room and the rest of the servants, who would have thought that the personal servant girl in the outer room actually confessed, and now That girl from the Huo family is not Mrs. Huo's own flesh and blood, it turned out that the Marquis of Pingjin exchanged his daughter from the outer room for his own daughter, but sent his daughter to a farmer named Peng."
"..."
The Queen Mother was too shocked to speak.
Fu Hai said again, "The matter is of great importance. Your Majesty immediately ordered people to follow the clues to find the farmer's house surnamed Peng, and found that the other party really adopted a baby girl more than ten years ago. It seems to be Mrs. Huo's own flesh and blood. .”
"???"
The queen mother was shocked and puzzled.
—So the storybook I just heard was about my cousin? ? ?
This, this, this is the closest to me...
The Empress Dowager was in a daze for a while, then hurriedly asked, "Then how is the situation now?"
Fu Hai hurriedly said, "Now Jin Yiwei took this girl to General Dingyuan's mansion to meet Mrs. Huo, but General Dingyuan was injured, and the mansion is in chaos right now. Your Majesty is worried that it will affect General Yu's recovery. The slave came to ask for your will, how to deal with this matter?"
The Empress Dowager understood already, she quickly nodded and said, "It doesn't mean that the Yu family still has sick patients, so wouldn't it make things more chaotic? Tell Mrs. Huo to come to Ai's house, and Ai's family will see how to deal with this matter." .”
Yan Shu, "???"
Wasn't the queen mother still leaning on the couch with a sleepy face?
Are you busy now?
Fu Hai also expressed concern, "But your phoenix body..."
But the queen mother shook her hand and said, "It's okay, it's still important, let Mrs. Huo come over."
Only then did Fu Hai keep saying yes, and went out to call someone.
But Yan Shu's eyes lit up—
Tsk tsk These days, serving the Empress Dowager is indeed not in vain, you can only eat live melons with the boss!
Not long after, Mrs. Huo came to the palace.
But this time, the person beside her is not the obsequious-looking fake concubine daughter, but another girl of similar age.
Mrs. Huo had obviously cried hard, her eyes were red and swollen, and she had completely lost her usual heroic spirit and spirit. When she saw the Queen Mother, she immediately knelt down and cried with aggrieved face, "Your Majesty! Please, Your Majesty, please make decisions for your wives... He, he, him How can you be so heartless..."
As he spoke, he grabbed the girl who was following and cried again, "My poor child..."
The Queen Mother also said angrily, "Get up quickly, don't cry yet, Ai's family just heard that at this time, Huo Chengji is really deceiving people too much!"
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly looked at the daughter brought by Mrs. Huo.
I saw that it also has a round face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is 80 to 90% similar to Mrs. Huo!
This, this, what is there to doubt?
The Queen Mother could only sigh again, "You have all been wronged."
Hearing this, Mrs. Huo cried again, her face flushed and her heart broken from crying.
And the girl who came with her hurriedly reached out to hold her in her arms, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and comforted her, "...Mom, don't cry, take care of yourself."
After finishing the words, Mrs. Huo remembered the business, and hurriedly said to her daughter, "Huiying, quickly come and salute the empress dowager and the concubine Yi."
As he spoke, he introduced to Queen Mother Yan Shu, "This is the flesh and blood of my minister's wife, now she is called Huiying..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
The girl named Huiying hurriedly bowed to Yanshu and the Queen Mother, "Ministers see the Queen Mother, and see Yipin."
Although a little cautious, it can be seen that it is well-behaved.
The queen mother hurriedly asked someone to help her up, and said, "Get up, good boy, you have suffered for so many years. How did you get here? Are your adoptive parents treating you well?"
The real daughter Huiying hurriedly said, "My parents... my adoptive parents love me very much, and I didn't suffer much."
At this time, everyone's eyes were on the little girl, but they saw that although her temperament was slightly inferior to those of the noble ladies of the official family, her complexion was fair and her hands were not rough, so it could be seen that she had not suffered too much.
It's just that I probably haven't had time to dress up, and the clothes on my body are still a bit inconspicuous.
However, seeing this in her eyes, Mrs. Huo felt more and more uncomfortable, and wanted to cry with her daughter in her arms.
But seeing her own daughter said worriedly again, "That's right...someone came to my house suddenly this morning, and I didn't know about it...Just now those officials and gentlemen also took away Peng's parents, I don't know what to do. "
Yan Shu hurriedly comforted, "Probably to understand the situation back then, those Jinyi guards took your adoptive parents away. As long as they didn't do anything wrong, they would not be wrong, and they might send them back after a while. Don't worry. "
Huiying nodded and said, "That's good, thank you, Ma'am."
Although he was still a little shy, he could tell he was a filial child, and he never cried or complained about his grievances, which was reassuring and distressing at the same time.
You know, this is the child who should enjoy Mrs. Huo's love!
The queen mother also sighed and sighed, and at the same time silently scolded Huo Chengji, the Marquis of Pingjin, as a bastard, and asked her cousin, Mrs. Huo, "By the way, how is Anbang's leg now? How did the Ai family hear that he was injured so badly?" Is it related to Huo Chengji?"
Mrs. Huo wiped her tears, and said with swollen eyes, "Please forgive me, my wife doesn't know..."
Alas, ever since she knew the truth and met her own flesh and blood, she only cared about her children, and put all other news behind her.
The queen mother could only nod her head.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden sound from outside the hall, "Your Majesty is here..."
Yu Wenlan stepped into the hall.
Everyone quickly saluted, and when Mrs. Huo saw him, she couldn't help crying again.
Seeing this scene, Yu Wenlan said, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter and give you justice."
Madam Huo cried and kowtowed to him again, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The queen mother hurriedly asked, "The Ai family just heard from Fu Hai that Huo Chengji murdered General Dingyuan? What's going on?"
But Yu Wenlan said, "I have already asked someone to bring Marquis Pingjin, it is better to ask him to tell you in person."
As he spoke, he waved to the outside of the hall.
After a while, I saw the guard pushing a person into the hall, it was none other than Huo Chengji, Marquis of Pingjin.
Madam Huo's eyes were full of hatred immediately, and she didn't care about the rules anymore. She rushed to him and grabbed his skirt and shouted at him, "You bastard! Why are you doing this to me!!"
During the speech, Dou Da's teardrops kept falling, which showed the grievance in his heart.
His daughter Huiying hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and Mrs. Huo grabbed her daughter and asked Huo Chengji, "Isn't this your own flesh and blood? How could you treat her like this!! You cruel man!!"
Everyone in the hall also glared at each other.
But Huo Chengji plopped down on his knees and started to lick his head at Mrs. Huo, crying as he licked, "I'm sorry for you, Ma'am, I was also confused at that time..."
As soon as this remark was made, before Mrs. Huo could say anything, the queen mother snorted coldly, "I was confused for a while? Even if you were confused for a while, why didn't you take the initiative to tell the truth after so many years?"
Huo Chengji hurriedly said, "The empress dowager forgives the sin. It's not that the minister doesn't want to say it. It's just that a big mistake has been made. I'm afraid that once the truth is told, the madam will be angry. In addition, the matter is of great importance, so it has been delayed again and again..."
"nonsense!"
Cough cough, the queen mother originally wanted to scold me for farting.
However, in front of the emperor, you have to pay attention to your image, so she endured and endured, and then changed to this word, and said angrily again, "What is more important than your own flesh and blood being left outside? Don't even think about it. How dangerous it is! Your conscience has been eaten by dogs!!"
The more she talked, the more angry she became, the queen mother said flatly, "Fu Hai, slap his mouth!"
Manager Fu, who was unexpectedly named, was taken aback for a moment at first, and quickly looked at the king, but seeing that the king had no intention of objecting, so he hurriedly responded, walked up to Huo Chengji, rolled up his sleeves, raised his arms and violently shook him twice. Go down with a big mouth.
Tch, he wanted to slap this man long ago, he has never seen such a disgusting man!
There was a crisp slap sound in the hall, Yan Shu couldn't wait to slap Fu Hai, and she also felt that it was enjoyable in her heart, even if this dog man slapped him ten times, it wouldn't be too much!
Immediately afterwards, Huo Chengji's face turned red and swollen, but he didn't dare to complain at all, he could only cover his face and keep kowtow, saying, "I'm guilty, I'm guilty..."
The queen mother was still furious, and said, "What crime do you know? How much time have you caused their mother and daughter to delay! How dare you cause General Dingyuan to fall off his horse? What are you so worried about!!"
He just uttered these words, but the king said beside him, "If it weren't for General Dingyuan's equestrian skills, I'm afraid he would have fallen off his horse. You are deliberately murdering the general of the court. Could it be that you are colluding with someone to bring disaster to the country?"
Huo Chengji was taken aback, and hurriedly kowtowed and cried again, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was also confused for a while. I just heard about the incidents in the harem one after another, and there was not much left for the empress, so I wanted to ask the little girl to enter the palace to serve your majesty... Then Madam visited the Empress Dowager when she entered the palace yesterday, so she was in a hurry to go back...I had no choice but to come up with this method, I wanted them to stay in the capital for a few more days...Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of causing trouble to the world..."
After the words fell, the queen mother finally understood, and said angrily again, "Knowing that she is the daughter of the outer room, how dare you covet the harem? It's hard to get rid of the hatred in people's hearts!"
As he spoke, he ordered Fu Hai, "Slap him twice again!"
Fu Hai should be right, hurriedly stepped forward again and swung his round arms to slap the man hard in the face.
Tsk, it only hurts the hand.
But my heart is also happy!
Then look at Huo Chengji, blood is already dripping from the corner of his mouth.
However, no one sympathized with him at the scene, and the Queen Mother was still full of anger.
How could this doggy man do such a vile thing, asking his first wife to raise a child from an outside room, even if it was a stranger's! This is how his wife will face this matter! !
Unexpectedly, the words fell, but the king suddenly said, "By the way, Jin Yiwei reported something just now, and I almost forgot about it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall immediately looked at Yu Wenlan, and the Queen Mother also hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Yu Wenlan coughed, glanced at Huo Chengji, and said, "According to his servants in the outer room, that child is most likely not his."
What?
As soon as these words came out, the hall was stunned.
It was Huo Chengji who came to his senses first and quickly asked, "What did Your Majesty say?"
Yu Wenlan said to him again in a cold voice, "Just now the servants in the outer room explained that she has been with many other men behind your back these years. There was a businessman who had close contacts with her back then. During that time, she I spent more time with that businessman than you, so this child is likely to belong to that businessman."
After the words fell, Huo Chengji's eyes widened, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Yan Shu groaned secretly, and hurriedly called the system, 【How could such a thing happen? All your information is wrong? ? ? 】
But the system said slowly, 【Bentong never said that the child is a scumbag, I just said that when Mrs. Huo gave birth to a daughter, the outer room happened to have a daughter. 】
Yanshu, "..."
Well, if you think about it carefully, the system doesn't seem to have said that this is Huo Chengji's flesh and blood...
She asked again with a face full of shock, 【That is to say, that fake daughter has no blood relationship with the Huo family? ? ? 】
System, [it can be said so. 】
Yan Shu couldn't help lying down again, 【Then this outer room is too courageous! How dare she do this? ! 】
System, [This outer room is actually quite smart, she knows how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, she knows that Israel cannot serve people for long, and she is afraid that this scumbag will not want her if her adultery is revealed in the future, so she thought of this way for her daughter—anyway, no matter what How, the daughter has already been raised by the wife of the wife, even if this scumbag finds out that it is not his own flesh and blood, he dare not say it is not? In any case, her own daughter was bound to end well. 】
Yanshu, "..."
What a cow!
It turned out that the biggest winner in this wave was the unknown businessman. Unknowingly, his own flesh and blood had been raised as the prostitute of the Hou family for more than ten years.
So the outer room is true love for that businessman!
She looked at the scumbag in front of her again, and couldn't help but click tut.
——Sure enough, those who are green people will always be green.
This man has been busy for so many years, and now he is still facing such a crime, so it has nothing to do with him!
Is he about to break down?
Others thought the same way, and for a while looked at Huo Chengji who seemed to have been struck by lightning with sarcasm.
Only the king secretly said—
"Green people, people are always green?"
Mencius's famous saying has been changed to this? ? ?
But then, seeing Huo Chengji, he started to bang his head on the ground and howled, "How could this happen? How could this be happening!! How could she treat me like this!! God!!"
This really startled everyone, and Yu Wenlan ordered outside the hall, "Come here, drag him out and put him in the sky prison. This person deceived the king and murdered the minister. He ordered the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment to intervene, find out the facts, and deal with the crime." !"
Immediately a guard responded, and they entered the hall and dragged Huo Chengji away.
The Queen Mother reminded again, "That woman can't be let go either! How dare she single-handedly play with the Marquis of Pingjin and even the people in the applause! What a joke!"
Yu Wenlan nodded and said, "Take them into the prison and deal with them strictly!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall responded one after another, and their intuition was very satisfying.
Mrs. Huo wept again and saluted the mother and son, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, the Queen Mother, for upholding justice for my wife."
Both the queen mother and Yu Wenlan nodded, but saw her hugging her daughter Huiying and crying, "Mother is the one who is most sorry for you!"
Huiying was also in tears, and while wiping her mother's tears, she said, "Mother, don't cry, the culprit is not you, and you have suffered too. Anyway, now the truth is revealed, we will all be fine in the future."
Everyone saw it in their eyes and nodded silently in their hearts. Although this girl has been raised in the farm for so many years, she is still very reasonable.
It can be seen that the farmer couple is also a good person.
At this time, the queen mother asked again, "Then, what should we do with that child?"
Everyone was also taken aback for a moment - that's right, what should I do with that fake Miss Huo?
I thought she was still in the blood of the Huo family, but looking at it now, she has no blood relationship with the Huo family at all?
Mrs. Huo also paused, and cried again, "Since I just learned the truth today, my wife has only been holding Huiying and crying, but she didn't think of Yingxia for a moment... That is also the child that my wife brought up!"
Everyone thought it was wrong, you said that girl was right, after all, she was still bleeding from the outer room, if she stayed with her in the future, would Mrs. Huo think of the outer room every time she saw her?
But you said she was wrong, but she was carried to Mrs. Huo's side within a few days after she was born. A little baby who only knows how to suckle, what can she decide by herself?
What's even more pitiful is that now her mother is in prison, but her father still doesn't know where she is...
Even if I want to send it, I don't know where to send it...
And it was Mrs. Huo who brought it up with one hand, and until yesterday she still treated her as her own flesh and blood, did she have the heart to drive her directly to the street?
well! After all, it's still a scumbag and a bitch! How many people have been harmed!
Everyone sighed with emotion, and everyone saw Mrs. Huo shaking her head and crying bitterly, which showed that she didn't know how much she was suffering.
Seeing this scene, the queen mother couldn't help but regret, why bother to ask her this question now? She is also a victim, and that is also a child she raised emotionally. Asking at this time, isn't it cruel?
Just when she was about to open her mouth to ease, Huiying suddenly said to her mother, "I am young and don't understand so many principles. But I know that Peng's parents have loved me a lot these years. If they can't find me rashly, they will You must be anxious to die in your heart, isn't your mother the same? 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 spoke, she helped her mother wipe away the tears from her face, and said with tears in her eyes, "I listen to my mother."
After the words fell, Mrs. Huo was speechless, and could only hold her and cry again.
This child has suffered so much, the more sensible he is, the more distressing he is.
Feeling relieved, the queen mother nodded beside her and said, "Good boy, you should be rewarded! The adoptive parents should be rewarded even more!"
Looking at the emperor, he said, "Such a pure and kind person should be praised and announced to the world. The Ai family plans to give this child the title of Township Lord to appease the grievances she has suffered over the years."
Yu Wenlan nodded, "The queen mother is kind."
When everyone heard the words, they congratulated the mother and daughter, "Congratulations to Mrs. Huo, and congratulations to Mr. Huiyingxiang."
Mrs. Huo hurriedly led her daughter to salute the mother and son, "Thank you, Queen Mother, and thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
The Empress Dowager continued, "As for the Peng family, they treat their adopted daughter as if they were their own. They have taught them so wisely that the Ai family will reward her with a hundred taels of gold and tell the world as a reward."
Huiying also hurriedly thanked her adoptive parents with a smile in her eyes.
Everyone was also very relieved, but then, seeing the Queen Mother's expression turned cold, she said, "Huo Chengjid is unworthy, his title should be withdrawn, and the eldest son should inherit it. As for the evil things he has done, we must not show mercy, and we must Severe punishment may make the world take this as a warning."
Yu Wenlan said hello again, but did not forget to remind, "As an imperial physician, Zhang Shengkang relied on his mother's trust to encourage others to covet the harem, so he must be punished."
The Empress Dowager sighed, nodded and said, "That's right, it's better to demote him to a higher level, fine him a salary for one year, and tell him to think about his mistakes."
But Yu Wenlan said, "So, I'm afraid it's still a little too light, let's double it, demote Zhang Shengkang by two ranks, and fine him for two years. If he commits another crime in the future, he will never be lightly forgiven."
The queen mother also nodded. Say nothing more.
Yan Shu quietly raised her eyebrows.
—It seems that the Queen Mother still intends to ask Zhang Shengkang to treat his illness, but there is still a suspicion after all. After all, it is really cruel to demote him to two levels.
In this way, Imperial Physician Jiang was above him instead.
Just thinking about this, the queen mother said to Mrs. Huo, "As for that child, Aijia thinks that we should find her biological father and send her back. Let’s get married, keep it in front of your eyes, you also have thorns in your heart.”
[Tsk, to be honest, it's more comfortable for this girl to have no blood relationship with the Huo family than to have blood relationship. Hmph, as expected, a scumbag deserves to be cuckolded! 】
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Well, these two women always have the same idea.
After hearing this, Mrs. Huo also responded quickly.
Everyone heard it in their ears, but their hearts were complicated.
——Now the truth is clear, that girl has nothing to do with the Huo family, and she has become a "wild species" who can't find her father. Even if she gets married, what kind of good family can she marry?
Alas, after all, that man is still hateful! !
In this way, the matter has been dealt with for the time being, and Mrs. Huo led her daughter out of the palace first.
But after this incident, the Empress Dowager completely swept away the previous sickness and became energetic, instead she asked the emperor, "How does Your Majesty always know these secret things?"
—Although the case was investigated under the pretext of being injured by General Dingyuan, the book of that story came out early this morning, even if it is written now, it is not so fast!
Therefore, the queen mother decided that the emperor must have checked out the book in advance and asked someone to write it, so that he could deal with Huo Chengji, Marquis of Pingjin.
Why is this kid so powerful?
Yu Wenlan listened silently, choking for a while.
But Yan Shu hurriedly said for him, "Your Majesty must have seen that Miss Huo does not look like Mrs. Huo, nor does she look like her father, so he became suspicious?"
Yu Wenlan originally wanted to nod her head, but quickly shook her head and frowned, "When did I pay attention to that girl's appearance? I just vaguely heard something about Jinmen, so I asked someone to check it out."
As he said that, he glanced at Yan Shu again, and thought to himself—he almost fell into her trap.
