reborn son

Chapter 22

"Sir, see the emperor"

"Concubine, see the emperor."

Seeing the emperor coming in, Duke Zhen and Mrs. Xie saluted separately. The emperor sat down and waved the two of them to get up. Duke Zhen ignored the empress dowager's old face, got up and stepped aside.

Mrs. Xie also retreated to the side, looked up at the emperor with warm eyes, and the emperor felt like vomiting. He was very familiar with those eyes. How long has Mrs. Xie been holding back, his eyes are almost turning green.

The emperor silently looked at Duke Zhen, secretly praised Duke Zhen for being ruthless, how long has it been since he touched Mrs. Xie?
"Why did your majesty come to Ai's house?" The queen mother's voice was sinister and cold, with a bit of penetrating taste.

"I heard that the queen mother is not in good health. I am very worried, so I came to visit the queen mother." The emperor's smile was as moist as jade, and the warmth of the sun radiated from his whole body. If the queen mother was not happy, the emperor was happy.

"The emperor has a heart." The empress dowager felt a stone in her heart, and she paid a visit to her because she was afraid that she would embarrass Duke Zhen.

But this time she really can't let Duke Zhen go easily, a bastard who came back from outside can be the son of the world, where will he put the Xie family's face?

"I heard that Lord Zhen has found his eldest son. Is this true?" Ignoring the empress dowager's ugly face, the emperor looked at Lord Zhen. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He knew earlier that his eldest son had entered Beijing.

"Yes, my son is back." When Duke Zhen mentioned his son, he was really happy from the heart. Mrs. Xie gave birth to two sons for him. I have never seen Duke Zhen like this, like a fool of.

The hateful Xie gritted his teeth, the breath was stuck in his heart and he couldn't let it go, it was about to kill her.

"Well, this is a good thing, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the old lady." The emperor sighed, "Oh, this child is suffering, you have to treat him well."

"Yes, the minister leads the decree." Zhen Guogong was very happy, and immediately climbed up the pole, and being good to his son became acting according to the decree. In the future, whoever dares to say that he is too good to his son will bring out the emperor and hit the other party.

The Empress Dowager and Xie's faces turned green with anger, and the Empress Dowager clenched her fists and said, "Are you sure it's your son? There are so many liars these days, let's confess blood first."

"Of course I'm sure about my son." Duke Zhen straightened his back, with anger flashing across his face, it's best not to let him find out that the Xie family sent someone to hunt him down, or he would kill her.

"I said you will recognize your relatives with blood." The Queen Mother's face darkened again.

"That's right, you must confess your relatives with blood. You are right to want to get your son back, but you also know how many people have pretended to be Dongyang over the years. You can't be careless about this matter. You must first recognize your relatives with blood, and then worship your ancestors." Thank you Dow.

Sparks flickered in Duke Zhen's eyes. The emperor held the cup and thought for a while, and said, "Since the Queen Mother doubts it, let's admit it with blood. If it is really your son, I will make him the crown prince, which can be regarded as making up for the debts of these years."

As soon as the words came out, the Duke of Zhen was overjoyed, and the emperor issued an order to proclaim him personally, to see who would dare to attack his son in the future.

"The Ai family disagrees." The queen mother said angrily.

"Empress Dowager, Dongyang is the eldest son of the minister. His succession to the Duke of Zhen is in line with the national law and etiquette. I don't know why the Queen Mother disagrees?" Duke Zhen asked.

"Xiang'er is the son of the princess, you let Dongyang succeed the Duke of Waizhen, where do you put Xiang'er?" the queen mother asked angrily.

"Ke Xin is still a princess." Zhen Guogong stretched his neck, compared to his mother's status, the eldest son is not inferior at all.

"The princess of the subjugated country is also considered a princess." The queen mother stared at the triangular eyes, with a fierce light flashing.

"Princess Subjugated is also a princess, and Yang'er is also Duke Zhen's eldest son." Duke Zhen's eyes widened, and his body surged with energy. The emperor felt a little headache when he saw this.

"You, you!" The queen mother pointed at Duke Zhen angrily and was speechless.

"Who is named as the son, this is the family affairs of the Duke of Zhen's house. Don't the empress dowager feel that she is too meddlesome?" Duke Zhen said coldly, with impatience written on his face.

"My queen, the state owns the laws of the country, and the family has family rules. The master of the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion is the Zhen Guo Gong, and this matter should be decided by him." The emperor smoothed things over, he was worried that Zhen Guo Gong would say even worse things.

You must know that this person was standing in the hall, pointing at the Queen Mother's nose and scolding her as a disaster. She has no women's morality, and women in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics. This is the rule set by the founding emperor Taizong.

It was also this tough method that forced the queen mother to withdraw from the hall and stop interfering in government affairs. In the words of Lord Zhen Guo, why should a three-no man be in the back seat?
Anyway, she wasn't the emperor's own mother. At worst, another queen mother would be installed. The arrogant Duke Jing almost didn't fight with Duke Zhen on the spot. Of course, the premise was that Duke Jing could fight.

Duke Zhen was not afraid of fighting or anything, he even threatened to clear the emperor's side, frightening a group of civil servants who were afraid of death and persuaded Duke Jing to take a step back and don't care about this bastard, but in the end this retreat was just a step back.

The emperor really liked this courtier, that's why he came here to smooth things over. The final result of the negotiation was to confess his relatives in front of the courtiers.

In the eyes of Lord Zhen Guo, there is no such thing as a fake son. He knew his son well, and he agreed with all his words. Then he bid farewell to the queen mother and strode away from the palace. He was still worried about the poison of his old father.

Seeing the water in the tub turn black, Uncle Wang and the others couldn't help clenching their fists. Thinking of the majestic old general lying motionless on the bed, it was more uncomfortable than killing them. They sincerely hoped that the old man could detoxify as soon as possible.

Li Dongyang pulled out the silver needle, looked at the old man's lower body and said, "Your son's eyesight is too bad, you might as well cut him off."

The old man blinked, his eyes were full of smiles, this grandson was so much like his son when he was a child, they were both the same bastard.

Uncle Wang took the old man into the house and put it away. He saw Li Dongyang was picking things in the fire, and quickly picked up a few clay eggs. Li Dongyang carried two into the house, and gave the rest to Uncle Wang. people.

"Grandpa, is there a warm current passing through your body?" Li Dongyang slammed his fist at the beggar chicken and asked casually.

"En." The old Duke replied subconsciously, but he didn't expect to be able to make a sound. Uncle Wang came in with a beggar chicken in his hand, and the beggar chicken in his hand fell to the ground, exuding a fragrance.

"Okay, okay, okay? Is the old man okay?" Uncle Wang asked excitedly.

"Not yet, how can it be so fast, give me half a month, and I promise to return you a healthy old man." Li Dongyang pinched a piece of chicken and put it under the old town's nose, letting the old man smell the fragrance.

Uncle Wang nodded excitedly, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Master, is it fragrant?" Old Zhen Guogong hummed again, Li Dongyang said: "You can't eat the fragrance, I just let you smell it."
