After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

That night, news came from the palace.

Empress Defei swallowed gold and died.

When the prince heard the news, there was no extra expression on his face, as if he had expected it.

He slowly spread out the rice paper on the table and calmly wrote four big words: Mother and child are connected by heart.

He and his mother are truly connected by heart.

He just mentioned it briefly and acted pitifully, and his mother knew what she should do.

His mother is really a good mother.

She used her own life to protect her son's position as crown prince.

It’s a pity that his son can’t be considered a good son.

He plotted against his own biological mother, but Concubine De would never know about it.

No one else will know.

The young eunuch who had followed him for seven years was also killed by a pot of poisoned wine last night.

"Let's go!"

The prince put down his pen and said in a sad voice, "Go see my father! I want justice for my mother!"

……

When the news reached Emperor Ming, he was shocked.

Although it is not a pity that Concubine De died, how could she bear to leave her own son?

Everyone knows that Concubine De loves her son more than she loves herself.

Once, when the eldest prince was still a child, he had a high fever and convulsions. Defei heard that his biological mother's flesh could reduce fever, so she personally dug out a piece of flesh from her hand to use as medicine.

The scars on my arms are still shocking.

Moreover, it was only a few days before Concubine De was punished to go to Fengxian Palace. How could she not bear it and hang herself?

The prince knelt in the hall and bowed deeply.

"Father and mother! When I went to visit you yesterday, I knew that you were in a bad condition, but you had never thought of hanging yourself at that time."

"There must be a reason for this. I beg you to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Emperor Ming closed his eyes.

"Yes!"

At the prince's request, Emperor Ming ordered the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter, and the matter soon came to a conclusion.

Defei swallowed gold and died because she could not bear the harsh treatment of the head nanny in Fengxian Palace and could not endure the recurrence of her back disease.

Moreover, according to the report from the people sent out to investigate thoroughly, the head nanny used to be a subordinate of Concubine Li.

Emperor Ming was furious.

He was not angry because of Concubine De's death, but because of Concubine Li.

A woman who is so weak in front of him actually has a heart as cruel as a snake.

"Father, I know that Concubine Li had evil intentions and killed my mother. I beg you to give my mother justice!"

The prince's voice was powerful.

Emperor Ming took a deep breath and stood up with the help of the dragon throne.

"Zhao Bao, pass on my oral order. Concubine Li has behaved badly as a woman, her virtue is unworthy of her position, and she has failed to behave like a queen. She is to be demoted to..."

He paused and said, "But considering her contribution in giving birth to the third prince, I will demote her to a noble lady and confine her to house arrest for a month. I hope she will sincerely repent."

"The slave obeys the order!"

Zhao Baoyi bowed, turned around and walked out.

The prince frowned slightly.

For killing a queen who was a concubine, he was only demoted to a noble lady. This punishment was really too light.

But he hesitated, and looking at the gloomy face of Emperor Ming, he dared not say anything, and could only kowtow to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, father, for giving justice to me and my mother."

Emperor Ming was already implicated, and waved his hand: "You... should also mourn. I will let them conduct the funeral of Concubine De according to the rites for the Imperial Concubine, you can leave now!"

"Thank you, father! I will take my leave now."

The prince bowed deeply again, then stood up and walked out.

Emperor Ming slowly sat back on the dragon throne.

One is Concubine De and the other is Concubine Life.

He used to trust these two people so much, but now after tearing off the hypocritical veil, he saw the dark and dirty side underneath.

This is true for these two people, but what about the others?

Apart from Concubine Li and Concubine De, who else is a "two-faced person" who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs?

Will it be the Queen?

Emperor Ming's mind was in a mess and he inexplicably wanted to meet Xia Qianqian.

"Someone is coming..."

The young eunuch walked in tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, would you like more tea?"

Emperor Ming glanced at the young eunuch and recognized him as Zhao Baogang's godson.

He said, "I'll give you a task. Go and invite the fourth young lady of the Wen family to the palace. Tell her that I've been feeling depressed these days and I want her to come to the palace to accompany me for a day."

"The slave obeys the order!"

Being allowed to leave the palace to collect rice paper was a lucrative job. The young eunuch was so happy that he couldn't even raise his eyebrows and immediately left the palace.

……

Wen family.

The Mansion of a Hundred Households has now become the Mansion of a Thousand Households. Wen Zehai happily ordered people to change the sign at the door.

Soon, colleagues in the court also came to congratulate Wen Zehai on his promotion.

Even Madam Wen, who had been ill since she came back, had a look of joy on her face.

Madam Xie observed the smile on the old lady's face and breathed a sigh of relief, "You are finally happy. Ever since you came back from the Wen family, I have seen you with a sad face. Now it's good. The master has been promoted, and you can be happy now."

After Aunt Xie finished speaking, she always felt dry mouth and tongue, especially, which was very uncomfortable.

But she still endured the discomfort and continued to make the old lady happy.

Madam Wen just smiled and nodded.

"Da Hai is doing well. As a mother, I shouldn't have such a sad face. But maybe it's all thanks to my little Miao Xue who brought blessings to my family."

Nanny Xie knew about the existence of Han and Wen Miaoxue.

It was she who switched Wen Chengyi.

Hearing the old lady's words, Aunt Xie nodded repeatedly.

"Miss Miaoxue is the lucky star of our mansion."

Madam Wen nodded in agreement.

"When little Miaoxue was born, Dahai was promoted. What the abbot said was true. She was born with a noble fate, and those who are close to her will be blessed. I think Dahai was blessed by Miaoxue this time."

At this point, Madam Wen changed her tone and revealed a look of annoyance.

"It's a pity that I couldn't bring Miaoxue back when I was in the countryside. If I had, my old bones would have enjoyed her blessings every day."

"Old Madam, don't worry. When I become powerful in the future, we won't have to worry about the Qu family anymore, and we won't have to be afraid of the Qu family. You can let the Second Master marry Madam Han as his second wife. Then Miss Miaoxue will become your granddaughter in the true sense of the word."

"You are right. I am forbearing now just to wait for that day."

Aunt Xie responded with a smile, but suddenly her tongue hurt even more.

She couldn't help but gasp.

Madam Wen looked at her in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Since yesterday, you seem to have difficulty speaking."

Madam Xie laughed dryly and said, "Maybe I ate something that made me irritated these days, so I have a few blisters under my tongue. It's nothing serious."

Madam Wen shook her head.

"You old man, you are still so greedy at your age. We are not like before. When we are old, we have to pay more attention to health preservation."

"The old lady is scolding me, I will pay attention to it in the future."

As Aunt Xie spoke, she suddenly raised her eyes and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you another piece of good news."

"What good news?"

"The egg you asked me to hatch successfully hatched at 11:00 a.m. today."
