Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 657

Mo Zhonggui calmly said, "Father, you are overthinking things. Lately, you have been too suspicious and overthinking, which has not only harmed your health but also alienated the people. You should not think too much and just stay here to recuperate. I have already taken over the affairs of the court, so you don't need to worry about them."

Huo Tingsheng stared at Mo Zhonggui in disbelief, his eyes wide with fury.

"You...you wicked beast with wolfish ambitions!"

He raised his voice and shouted with all his might.

"Guards! Guards! The Crown Prince is plotting treason! Execute him on the spot without mercy!..."

He used all his strength, but the voice that came out was hoarse and rough, and the volume wasn't actually very loud. After calling for a long time, no one came in. Only Mo Chonggui stood to the side, watching him calmly.

Huo Tingsheng finally realized that shouting was useless, so he stopped, panting, and looked up at Mo Zhonggui.

"You... this palace has already fallen into your hands?"

His shouts couldn't possibly go unheard, which meant that everyone guarding the palace was now "Huo Jinghuai's" man.

Mo Chonggui laughed and said, "Father, what are you saying? As long as you are on the throne, the Western Qi kingdom will still belong to you. I am just taking care of it on your behalf. Don't worry, Father, you will live a long and healthy life and won't die so soon."

Huo Tingsheng paused for a moment before realizing the meaning behind those words. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with horror.

Does this mean that Huo Jinghuai didn't want him to die?

If we don't let him die, then keeping him alive is definitely not for him to enjoy life, but to slowly torture him!

He suddenly met Huo Jinghuai's gaze and, sure enough, saw a shocking and intense hatred in it!

Huo Tingsheng exclaimed in disbelief, "You...you unfilial son...how dare you treat me like this? I may have neglected you in the past, but that was because you were too useless! In the past two years, I have treated you well! Otherwise, how could you have climbed to this position today? What do you have to hate me for! What right do you have to retaliate against me like this!"

Both thunder and rain are acts of imperial favor, Huo Tingsheng believed that it was his right to treat the princes and subjects however he pleased.

Besides, he really didn't do anything to "Huo Jinghuai"!

Huo Jinghuai was born to Fang Kui, so it's normal that he doesn't like him. What father doesn't have biases? But at most, he just ignores him; he hasn't harmed Huo Jinghuai!

Because of this, Huo Jinghuai hated him so much that he didn't want him to die and wanted him to suffer while he was alive?

There's no such logic in the world!

Mo Zhonggui chuckled.

“He has treated me well... If the person standing here is really Huo Jinghuai, he wouldn’t hate you to this extent. But unfortunately, you, the unfavored seventh son, have already died at the hands of your eldest son.”

Huo Tingsheng was horrified, he could hardly believe his ears.

"Wh...what? What nonsense are you spouting!"

Mo Zhonggui continued clearly, word by word: "Huo Jinghuai died two years ago. He was hunted down by Huo Sizhen's men and fled to Beiyi, where he died from his injuries."

Huo Tingsheng looked at Mo Zhonggui as if he were looking at an incredibly terrifying demon.

His voice trembled: "Then...who are you?"

Mo Zhonggui tore off the mask from his face.

"Does Father still recognize me?"

Huo Tingsheng stared intently at Mo Zhonggui's face, his face deathly pale, and his whole body trembling violently.

"You...you are..."
