After all, Zhuang Li was his own son. Seeing that the emperor treated him so gracefully, Zhuang Ai naturally wouldn't think it was a bad thing.
But Hu's mood can only be described by the word "torture". She tried her best to make herself smile softer, but the jealous eyes she inadvertently revealed seemed poisoned.
Her daughter, Zhuang Yunzhu, didn't have the superficial skills she had, and her face was already twisted.
Zhuang Yuqing was the companion of the fifth prince, Feng Yu, and was highly regarded. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be as ignorant as his younger sister. He smiled mildly and stood silently aside, never interrupting, nor was he in a hurry to express himself.
He also quietly pulled his sister's sleeve to make her restrain a little.
However, Zhuang Yunzhu was favored by the Hu family and Zhuang Ai, with a very arrogant and domineering personality, and she didn't know what to say on any occasion.
She pointed to Zhuang Xiaohui's men's clothes and shouted loudly: "Oh, sister, why did you run out in the middle of the night wearing men's clothes?"
These words are obviously slandering Zhuang Xiaohui, implying that she sneaks out at night to meet people privately.
Zhuang Xiaohui opened her mouth and was about to defend herself, but Zhuang Li, who was lying on the table to relieve her dizziness and panting, suddenly raised her head and stabbed Zhuang Yunzhu coldly.
However, before the two brothers and sisters could speak, Feng Ming said slowly: "I met the three of them on the road walking together, saying that they were helping Feng Yi celebrate his birthday and are preparing to go home. Tonight is not very peaceful in the city, I am afraid When they met the bad guys, they sent them back along the way. They are all half-year-old children, and it’s normal to be playful, so what’s the taboo to be with your own brother?”
The two riddles from before should be here. Feng Ming promised to help Zhuang Li cover up going to Hualou so that he would not be beaten.
Even the emperor said so, what else could Zhuang Ai who wanted to get angry with? He could only bend over and bow his hands, and agree with a smile: "What your majesty said is, thank you majesty for sending them back."
Zhuang Yunzhu gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Zhuang Xiaohui glanced at the emperor in astonishment, then lowered her head, showing an expression of peace of mind.
Feng Yi also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, completely relieved. Going to the brothel is over, right?
Zhuang Li covered his sly smile with his sleeves, but his exposed eyes were crescent-shaped.
Feng Ming looked at the eyes that couldn't hide the smile, and the dark pupils finally had a ray of light.
"It's just," he said in a deep voice, "the children from other families are all studying at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Why does Zhuang Li have nothing to do all day, and he hasn't read a book for a day?"
Long Jinwei holds the secrets of all the nobles in the capital, and all these information are stored in Feng Ming's brain.
As soon as Feng Yi said, "This is my cousin," Feng Ming already knew Zhuang Li's background clearly.
Zhuang Ai immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen also wanted to send him to study, but he was unwilling. Going to the academy was either to play or to make trouble, and it also affected other people's studies. The gentleman couldn't stand his wickedness, so he kicked him out in less than half a month. already."
For this son, he has absolutely no heart to defend him, he can say whatever he wants, so that he can show his loyalty in front of the emperor.
Zhuang Xiaohui clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, trying to suppress the anger in her heart. If it wasn't for Hu's instructing the book boys to bring down the elder brother, how could the elder brother become like this?
Father knows everything, but doesn't care about anything! He indulged Hu's behavior and watched his and his brother's life be destroyed.
Zhuang Xiaohui really wanted to kneel down in court and tell the emperor everything, but she also knew how serious it was for her daughter to accuse her parents of a crime. When things got out, no one would believe her words, but they would accuse her of being unfilial.
And the elder brother is really naughty, and the father did not lie. How could the emperor take care of the household affairs of his subjects?
Thinking like this, Zhuang Xiaohui could only swallow the tears in her heart silently.
However, what she did not expect at all was that her brother, who had lived a life of confusion and uselessness, said coldly at this moment: "I also want to study hard, but do I dare? If I am like Zhuang Yuqing Being pushy, can I live to this day?"
Just two simple questions, but exposed Hu's vicious methods to the public.
The entire hall was silently audible for a moment.
Hu shi suddenly raised his head, showing an expression of astonishment.
Zhuang Yuqing and Zhuang Yunzhu were also stunned. They had no idea that Zhuang Li would say such a thing in front of the emperor!
Zhuang Ai immediately reprimanded: "Niezi, shut up! No one wants to hurt you, it's you who doesn't live up to your expectations! If you are as smart and eager to learn as Yu Qing, how could I not let you study?" He said in a panic, "Your Majesty, don't believe what this wicked man said. What is the attitude of Weichen and Jiannei to this wicked son? You can ask the servants in the house. What is his food, clothing, housing and transportation? OK?"
Feng Ming remained silent, but his face was extremely cold.
The whole room looked at him in horror, waiting for his verdict.
However, Zhuang Li chuckled and said, "I won't mention what I wear, what I live in, and what I do. I only mention my devastated body. Please help the emperor to find a doctor for me to take a good look at it, I can still live a few more times. year."
He lifted his sleeves, revealing his unusually thin wrists.
7480 had already told him just now that this body is full of various toxins and can't stand the toss at all, and Zhuang Li in the script was caught by Captain Long Jin tonight and sent back to Zhuang Mansion, where he was given a meal by Zhuang Ai. He was severely beaten, and since then he has been disabled for life, and died early before he was 25 years old.
While his lover was here, he had to quickly find a good doctor for himself.
There are still a few more years to live - this extremely sad sentence stabbed Feng Ming's heart severely. He didn't dare to imagine the young man lying in the coffin with no breath at all.
"Bring Qin Zhong here." He ordered in a deep voice, his face extremely ugly.
A Long Jinwei immediately handed over his orders and flew out of the manor.
Zhuang Ai looked at his wife subconsciously, only to see her gritted her teeth, trying her best to part her lips, pretending to be a calm smile. But she didn't know that clenching her teeth too hard would bulge out the muscles in her cheeks, distorting her entire face.
Her guilt and panic were written all over her face.
In his early years, Qin Zhong followed the emperor to fight in the north and south, and he did not know how many times he used superb means to rescue the dying emperor. His medical skills are the best of Dayan. If his wife really poisoned his son, he would definitely be able to see the problem.
Realizing this, Zhuang Ai suddenly felt the world turn around.
Not sending his son to study is just a trivial matter, and he can find various excuses to justify it. But the son was poisoned, this is not something that can be smoothed out by a few words.
A while ago, there was also a **** case in the capital where a stepmother killed a stepson. How did the Ministry of Punishment sentence it? It seems to be beheading, right? Thinking of this, Zhuang Ai almost fell to the ground.
Zhuang Yuqing obviously also knew the hands and feet that his mother moved in private, the light smile on his face had completely disappeared, and the hands hidden in his sleeves could not stop shaking.
If the mother's crime is confirmed, she will be dismissed and imprisoned, or be executed in the autumn.
However, whether it is light or heavy, it is a disaster for him. The fifth prince Feng Yu was already the intended prince, and as the person who the fifth prince relied on the most, he absolutely could not have a sinner mother who was sentenced or even beheaded.
His reputation, future, and family business will all be destroyed! And he could have walked steadily and soared into the sky!
The more Zhuang Yuqing thought about it, the more his heart ached.
Zhuang Yunzhu had no idea how bad the current situation was, pointed at Zhuang Li's nose and cursed angrily: "You short-lived ghost! What nonsense are you talking about? Your poor health is obviously caused by your mother's dystocia, what does it have to do with my mother? Has my mother treated you badly? Which of the things you eat is not exquisite? Which is not expensive? Which is not specially prepared for you by my mother?"
When the words were over, she snapped her fingers and began to count Zhuang Li's daily food.
However, she didn't know that these foods seemed to be fine on the surface, but mixing them together could slowly destroy a person's body. If you eat something that is very cold for a while, and eat something tonic for a while, the body will repeatedly lose the balance of yin and yang.
This is also the reason why the original owner is still so thin even though he eats delicious mountain and sea delicacies every day.
Zhuang Yunzhu only likes to dress up, not to read and write. Naturally, he doesn't understand these things, but which of you here doesn't understand? Her quick words not only did not clear Hu Shi's suspicions, but instead exposed the other party's ugly face in advance.
There is no need to wait for the imperial doctor to check, the truth is already here.
Zhuang Li slowly applauded Zhuang Yunzhu with a mocking smile on his face.
However, Zhuang Xiaohui did not have the good concentration of her brother, and she was already trembling with anger, almost bursting out. It turned out that the tragedy of her and her brother had been foreshadowed since so early!
Hu Shi could no longer pretend to be calm, and shouted sharply: "Zhuang Yunzhu, shut up, stop talking, stop talking! I don't prepare these meals for Zhuang Li every day!"
Before Zhuang Yunzhu could figure out the situation, he shouted with aggrieved face: "Why don't you? You paid so much for their brothers and sisters, why don't you let me say it? I want to eat the soup you helped Zhuang Li stew, but you won't let me!"
Hu shivered while holding his forehead. The daughter's last words more and more nailed her on the spot.
Zhuang Ai swung her round arm and slapped Zhuang Yunzhu fiercely.
The spitting nosebleed and the sudden pain finally made Zhuang Yunzhu stop gushing excuses. She covered her rapidly swollen cheeks and stared at her father in disbelief.
Zhuang Yuqing closed his eyes, but there was no way to vent the anger and powerlessness in his heart. One is his mother, the other is his sister, what can he do?
Zhuang Ai gasped for a while, then knelt down.
Just as he was about to speak, Feng Ming had already cut off his words, with a particularly heavy tone: "How I survived by chance from Liu's hands, and how I took the throne, I believe that no one in the country of Dayan does not know. , do you think that Hu's tricks, I will not see it?"
Zhuang Ai, who was about to kowtow and beg for mercy, was stunned on the spot.
The Liu family was the successor of the late emperor's pro-appointment, and he was very favored, so he acted extraordinarily domineering. She always thought that the emperor, who was still the prince at the time, robbed her son of the position, so she used all means to frame the emperor, and finally the emperor was abolished as the prince and demoted to a commoner.
The emperor could only flee to the frontier to fight, but he still couldn't escape the constant flow of killers sent by the Liu clan, so he couldn't bear to launch a mutiny. The emperor wrote an edict of renunciation.
It is said that Liu's head was cut off by the emperor himself.
The few princes who are still alive today are all cousins of the emperor, and their relationship is not close.
That is to say, the emperor slaughtered all the blood relatives with his own hands, and never left a single survivor, which naturally included the former emperor who starved to death in the cold palace.
This shows how deep his hatred for Liu's is.
It wasn't until now that Zhuang Ai wanted to understand why the second son, who had no merit in him, was favored by the emperor, because his experience was too similar to the emperor's.
The feeling of mutual pity can quickly bring the relationship between two people closer.
On the other hand, the behavior of his wife also reminded the emperor of that painful experience.
With the emperor's deep hatred for Liu, will the wife who committed the same crime be angered? Is she still alive? If the emperor cannot break free from the past, the entire banker may be implicated, right?
Thinking of this, Zhuang Ai seemed to have had all the bones removed from her body, and she fell to the ground in fright.
Zhuang Yuqing also realized that his mother's method of mutilating Zhuang Li triggered the emperor's deepest pain and darkest emotions. He will never let his mother go easily!
Done! It's over now! Mother is helpless!
