The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Chapter 245 The Queen Mother's Intentions and Anger

After discussing state affairs, the emperor called his younger brother and Yang Feng to the imperial study and asked them how Liang Anan was poisoned? Why did they use that method to poison the other person?

Mu Rongchen told his brother what had happened and watched his face gradually darken.

Seeing the emperor's expressionless face, Yang Feng was afraid that he would not believe Lan Rufeng, so he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the princess is a woman, how could she possibly poison Miss Liang? Miss Liang wanted to poison the princess, but she didn't know that the princess was a woman, and she suffered the consequences in the end."

Mu Rongchen looked at his brother's cold face, stood on Lan Rufeng's side, and said, "Brother, I know you are very angry. Feng'er did go too far. She shouldn't have killed an official of the imperial court. But all the injustice and harm she suffered was caused by my sister and brother-in-law.

She could have lived a carefree life with her parents, enjoying their love, but her elder sister and her friends robbed her of her life and caused her to almost die, suffering the pain of having her bones cut and her skin ripped out. It is not something that an average person can endure."

"Forget it. She came here just for revenge. During this tour, she indeed assisted you and the prince wholeheartedly. I will not pursue it." Even if the emperor was furious, he could only endure it for the sake of Lan Zhentian and the Lan family. He waved his hand to let his brother and Yang Feng go.

Mu Rongchen and Yang Feng took their leave from the imperial study. Mu Rongchen told Yang Feng to go out of the palace and wait for him, then turned around and went to his mother's palace.

Heng Huai'an dragged Lan Rufeng out of the palace before letting her go. He circled around her twice before accusing her, "Lan Rufeng, how can you be so cruel as a girl? You are so capable of digging up graves and corpses. You are not a human being."

Lan Rufeng tapped Heng Huaian's shoulder with the fan in his hand and asked, "Second Master Heng, did you see my face just now?"

Heng Huaian shook his head. He hid outside the palace and eavesdropped. How could he dare to show his head and let his cousin see him? He was not a fool. He could hide for a while.

Lan Rufeng reached out and took out the dough from his arms and handed it to Heng Huaian, letting him look at it himself. Heng Huaian's hand trembled as he held the dough, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw the shocking, hideous and terrible scars on the dough.

"This Liang Zihan is such a vicious woman. She deserves to die. She destroyed your face like this. If it were me, I would let her die to vent my hatred." Heng Huaian was very distressed and cursed as he returned the face to Lan Rufeng. He then said, "Lan Rufeng, I treat you as a good friend. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, in my heart, you are my buddy."

Lan Rufeng looked at Heng Huaian, whose character was as upright as Feng Qingge's, stuffed the face back into his arms, smiled with satisfaction and said: "Thank you, Second Young Master Heng, for not abandoning me. You treat me as a brother, so I will naturally treat you the same."

"Then are you going to marry your cousin? And! Are you a human or a ghost?" Heng Huaian actually hoped that Lan Rufeng could marry her cousin. After all, only her cousin was worthy of her.

"Of course I am a human being." Lan Rufeng yelled at Heng Huaian, and then said: "I like the martial arts world."

Heng Huaian knew immediately that this girl didn't want to marry her cousin, so he raised his hand and patted her shoulder and said, "My cousin is inhuman, and you are inhuman too. You two are a perfect match, and you complement each other perfectly."

"A match made in heaven!" Lan Rufeng rolled his eyes at Heng Huaian, kicked him and yelled, "Get away from me, young master."

"Girl, be more polite, otherwise no one will want you." Heng Huaian reminded Lan Rufeng with a smile that as a girl, she should pay attention to her image and words.

"I'm not used to Master Lan being too polite." Chen Luo's voice sounded behind the two of them. They turned around and saw that the court was over and all the civil and military officials came out.

"Mr. Lan! How can you be a girl?" When Chen Xue saw Lan Rufeng, he still couldn't accept this sudden change.

Some ministers following Chen Xue just smiled and said nothing when they heard what he said. He couldn't accept it. His girl was going to cry.

"Zi, Master Lan, I'm sorry!" Liang Zichu originally wanted to call Zi Yu, but he changed his words and bowed deeply to apologize to Lan Rufeng.

"If General Liang is sincere, please don't bother me. My adoptive father hates evil, so don't bother him." Lan Rufeng's words had a hidden meaning.

Liang Zichu naturally understood that Lan Rufeng would not save An An, nor would he let the Liang family disturb Luo Wuchen. He still couldn't accept it until now. He and Xiao Hua clearly saw that she was a man that night, so they didn't check him. I think she knew that he had someone watching her, so she used the same trick to deceive them.

"Sir Chen, please apologize to Miss Chen for me. I have always treated her and Miss Feng as my sisters. If Miss Chen doesn't mind, I will bring her a gift." Lan Rufeng said apologetically.

"Oh! Yao'er might be sad. If she runs to find Master Lan, please take some effort to help comfort her." Chen Luo sighed.

"Okay, then my brother and I will leave first." Lan Rufeng agreed and took Lan Ruyun's hand and left first. Heng Huaian wanted to follow but was pulled back by Yang Feng.

"You little bastard, Yao'er is going to cry her death." Chen Xue couldn't help but complain. He was really afraid that his daughter would find out, but he also knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.

"Brother, this is not Mr. Lan's fault. He looks like a young master. Just look at his face. Which girl wouldn't be dazzled by him?" Chen Shuchen comforted his brother.

Chen Xue sighed and said goodbye to his son and brother.

Liang Zichu watched the ministers leave and asked his uncle and cousin to go back first before asking Yang Feng about An'an's poisoning.

Heng Huaian opened his mouth to speak but Yang Feng covered his mouth with his hand. Then he heard him tell Liang Zichu to ask his cousin, so he chose to shut up.

When the Queen Mother of "Fu Shou Palace" heard that her son had arrived, she was very happy to see him and asked him if he had met a girl he liked during his tour.

When Mu Rongchen heard his mother mention this, he ordered Guan Meixiang: "Madame Guan, please take the people away! I have something to tell my mother."

Guan Meixiang nodded and called out the palace servants, waiting outside the palace.

"Mother, I have something to ask you." Mu Rongchen looked at his mother with a serious expression.

The Queen Mother saw her son's expression and felt something was wrong, so she asked, "Eleven, what do you want to ask me?"

"Mother, are you aware that Liang Ziyu is not my sister's biological daughter?" Mu Rongchen asked softly, his eyes fixed on his mother's face, not wanting to miss any of her reactions.

The Queen Mother then realized that her son was suspicious of her, and asked unhappily, "Eleven, what do you mean by that? How did you know?"

Seeing that his mother was unhappy, Mu Rongchen explained: "Mother, I just want to clarify that the King of Nan'an suspected that you knew Liang Ziyu's background, but you protected my sister and others. The King of Nan'an asked the Liang family to give him an explanation and return the person to him, otherwise he and the Lan family will resign and return to the countryside."

When the Queen Mother heard that Lan Zhentian had disregarded his country and family for the sake of a daughter and even threatened his son, she became angry.

Mu Rongchen saw that his mother looked unhappy, and knew that she was angry with Lan Zhentian for using Lan Rufeng to threaten the royal family.

"Eleven, mother doesn't know, but mother had suspicions when the Crown Princess came to the capital, and also privately asked your sister. Your sister denied it and said that Ziyu was her child. There are many people in this world who look somewhat similar." The Queen Mother really didn't know, but she had suspicions, but the person was no longer around, so she didn't pursue it.

When Mu Rongchen heard that his mother was unaware of the situation, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then why did your mother ask me to marry Liang Ziyu?"

"Your Majesty Queen Mother didn't want you to violate ethical principles and marry Zi Han, so she wanted to use Liang Zi Yu's marriage to make your brother-in-law and his men give up. But you didn't expect your brother-in-law to be so shameless as to agree to it. Since he has the shamelessness to agree to it, let the sisters fight each other. Your Majesty Queen Mother is indeed wrong about this." The Queen Mother admitted that this was her original intention.

Mu Rongchen smiled bitterly. His brother-in-law even plotted against him, so how could he care about ethics? In the end, he had to bear everything.

"Mother, do you still have any resentment about my sister's death?" Mu Rongchen wanted to know whether his mother had gotten over his sister's death.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "What else can we do? After all, they were at fault and they are sorry to the Lan family. But a person whose life was taken away, is he really still alive?"

The Queen Mother was most worried about whether Liang Ziyu was still alive. She and the Emperor asked Fan Mingyin, who said that people whose fate had been replaced would have difficulty surviving unless they went against the will of heaven and extended their lives.
