The Madam didn't intend to hide the truth from the Imperial Concubine, so she told her the whole story.
Concubine Zhang frowned and said, "Mother is confused!"
After walking a few steps in the hall, he said, "That is my eldest brother's flesh and blood, my father's grandson. How can I abandon it so easily?"
"I didn't say I gave up." The madam defended.
"I didn't want to do anything to the two children at that time. Unexpectedly, Sister Ning's nanny heard and saw it, and took the two children away secretly. I sent people to search outside, but couldn't find them. I had to tell the outside world
Said the two children were gone."
"Mom is confused. If you can't find them, just say that the two children are recuperating outside, and then send people to continue searching in private. How can you just say that they are gone?"
He also hid the truth from his eldest brother and corrected the Wu family, so that the two children did not even dare to return home.
The blood relationship between the family has reached the point where their relationship is only superficial.
Mrs. Tai now also has some regrets. Especially because she has raised the hearts of Wu and Zhang Jie, and now it is very difficult to correct the chaos.
The imperial concubine felt a little sad when she thought of the sister-in-law whom she had not seen for a few times.
She and Li were in the same capital when they were young, and they met a few times when they were girls. I only remember that she was gentle, spoke very kindly, and always smiled at everyone...
Later, she went to Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking and never saw her again. Even though she later married her eldest brother, the two sisters never had the opportunity to see each other.
When she returned to Beijing, she was gone too.
"I've never seen Sister Ning..."
When I was a child, every time my eldest brother saw her, he would say how nice Sister Ning was, how cute and sensible she was. Even my father, who usually had a straight face, had a smile on his face when he mentioned this eldest granddaughter...
Mrs. Tai spoke again: "It's easy to bring Sister Ning back. She will still be her eldest daughter and will have no impact on the house. It's just that the child is difficult to arrange."
"Mother! That child is my eldest brother's flesh and blood!"
"How do I not know? I thought about taking him back to my house as a bastard, and recording him in the name of the Li family. It is the same. I will compensate him properly in the future, but his siblings are not willing. Neither is your eldest brother."
"How can this happen! Our family has treated those two children badly over the years, how can we allow them to treat them as concubines? If my father was still alive, he would not agree."
Concubine Zhang only felt that her mother was confused.
"Moreover, if the emperor knew about it, he would not agree. Mother should know that the three princes are all legitimate sons. The emperor respects Queen Yuan Peiwen very much."
If the emperor were to know that the Zhang family treated their direct descendants as concubines, I'm afraid they wouldn't get any good results.
The Tai Madam entered the palace hoping to gain the support of the Imperial Concubine, but she did not expect that the Imperial Concubine also had the same idea as her eldest brother. The Tai Madam couldn't help but feel a little headache.
I'm afraid the house will be in chaos.
On the other hand, it was heard that the Wu family sent people to climb over the wall of the Huo family again at night and injured two guards. After the court that morning, Zhang Fu stayed and followed the emperor to the main hall where the emperor handled political affairs.
While he was still at the door, Mu Yan, who was being guarded there, gave him a meaningful look.
Zhang Fu didn't have time to think too much and followed him in with his head lowered.
"My dear, do you have anything to report to me?" Emperor Yongkang sat down on the dragon throne and looked at Zhang Fu in the palace.
Zhang Fu slowly took off the imperial crown, put it aside, and knelt on the gold bricks in the hall.
"Your Majesty, I am not strict in running the family. Please punish me."
Oh? Emperor Yongkang's eyes sparkled with curiosity. Has Zhang Fu figured it out?
"What are you guilty of?"
"emperor……"
Zhang Fu then explained in detail the matter of Yuan's wife's two legitimate children living abroad, and once again knocked his head on the gold brick to apologize.
"Oh, so it turns out that the rumor outside that you still have two legitimate children alive is true? I thought it was a lie made up by someone to criticize you."
"I am guilty."
"This is strange. When the old emperor sent people to surround the house again, didn't anyone stay with your two children? They were actually taken out in the chaos? Why is this?"
Zhang Fu was suffering internally, with his biological flesh and blood on one side and his biological mother on the other.
Suddenly thinking of the meaningful look Mu Yan gave him just now, he broke into a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I misjudged the situation. When my father-in-law was convicted, in order to show my family's determination to stand with the emperor, I said some harsh words to the Li family. At that time, I was still in the north.
, maybe there was a misunderstanding in the family, which ultimately led to the tragedy of father and son being separated for ten years. It is all my fault, and I have paid a great deal of trust to the emperor! I beg the emperor to punish me."
Emperor Yongkang frowned.
If he didn't know, this explanation would be reasonable. But he knew.
Staring at Zhang Fu who was leaning on the ground, he sighed.
Fortunately, he did not misjudge the person. Zhang Fu was strict in running the army and had outstanding abilities. He was also affectionate and righteous. He served his mother with utmost filial piety and took over all her faults.
It is also considered as the duty of the Son of Man.
Emperor Yongkang stepped down, picked up the crown that Zhang Fu had placed on the gold brick, and put it on slowly for him.
"What's wrong with Aiqing? It was the old emperor who was wrong. If it hadn't been for him, why would he have caused Aiqing's family to be separated from each other?"
Then he helped him up and said, "I agree to what I love you to do."
Zhang Fu was excited and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" He was about to kneel down again, but was supported by the Emperor.
"I heard that my grandson Mu Jie eats, sleeps, and goes to the same school as your son, and they have a very good relationship. The next time Jie'er comes to the palace again, ask him to bring your son to me. Last year, he also
I wrote a travelogue, and the emperor’s grandson liked it. It’s not bad.”
"I am terrified. I obey your order!"
I was covered in cold sweat. Sure enough, the emperor knew about it. If he had answered a sentence wrong just now, the consequences would be disastrous.
"but……"
Zhang Fu raised another heart.
"My dear, regarding this matter, you have indeed laxly governed the family and messed up the foundation. If you are not punished for your crime, it may be difficult to convince the public."
"Your Majesty, please punish me."
"It's not a big crime... Well, let me fine you a year's salary? If you don't manage the family strictly next time, I won't give you a lenient sentence."
"Yes. I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness!"
Mu Yan at the door of the main hall breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
If the British public had just cleared up the matter or told the truth directly, I am afraid that nothing good would have happened.
It was the emperor himself who proposed that Rong Guo Gong Zhang Yu deserve to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple. If this punishes Mrs. Rong Guo's crime, it will be a slap in his own face.
In this way, it can be considered as overturning the matter.
Thinking that the little liar could bring his brother back to the family, I wonder if she would be happy.
I'm afraid she will be happy. I couldn't help but put a smile on my face. But I thought that the Duke's Mansion was heavily guarded, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to see her again, and I was very unhappy.
Ye Chen gave him a strange look. He thought he was up to something good just now, but his face changed so quickly that it was really hard to fathom.
Zhang Fu exited the hall and cast a grateful look at Mu Yan at the door.
But then he thought about it, this guy actually said that his daughter was his sweetheart, and openly hung the jade pendant he gave to her around his neck, and he was furious.
He snorted heavily and strode away.
Mu Yanjue was very confused.
Ye Chen also felt that the British Duke's quick change of face was comparable to that of the man named Mu, and curiously stared at the British Duke's background and Mu Yan again and again.
Silently asked him: "Why did you offend the British father?"
Mu Yan ignored him.
I thought I had to meet the little liar at night. Otherwise, it would be difficult to see her again when she returned to the British government.
