Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 173 Thanks to you

Shoukang Palace.

Aunt Mei Fen knelt on the ground, begging for death, "Your Majesty, please punish me. I am incompetent!"

The Queen Mother seemed to have lost a third of her energy, and looked at the Dian Cui Armor in a daze.

"I don't blame you, everything was rushed." The Queen Mother said quietly.

"The Emperor looks very angry. I'm afraid that the Emperor is really angry this time." Mei Fen wanted to slap herself a few times at this moment. She couldn't help but feel angry and sighed in her heart that she was old and no longer useful.

The Queen Mother smiled coldly, "Maybe he has long been dissatisfied with the Ai family."

Just when Mei Fen was heartbroken, Huo Jiheng walked in with a livid face.

As soon as Mei Fen saw Huo Jiheng's face, she understood that the emperor had come to investigate. She quickly knelt forward, kowtowed deeply, and said hoarsely: "Everything was the old slave's idea. It has nothing to do with the queen mother. Please don't get me wrong, the emperor." !”

The Queen Mother looked at Mei Fen who was begging for her life as pitifully as a dog, and said heartbrokenly: "Mei Fen! The Ai family is not dead yet! Get away!"

Huo Jiheng was followed by Nalan and Li Qing. When they saw that the Queen Mother looked wrong, they all stopped and waited at the door.

Huo Jiheng, who had been disappointed with Shoukang Palace for a long time, glanced down at Mei Fen who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "The Queen Mother will act like this because you are a bunch of dog slaves who don't know right from wrong by her side! Li Qing!"

Li Qing's voice followed Huo Jiheng's, "I'm here!"

"Pull this old naughty slave out and give him fifty blows!"

The Queen Mother, who was still calm at first, was stunned for a moment, then stumbled down and protected Mei Fen, "Didn't the emperor kill Mei Fen? Can she withstand the fifty-fifty board?"

Seeing the red-eyed and angry Queen holding Mei Fen in her arms, Huo Jiheng felt ridiculous, "Ha! Hahaha! It turns out that the Queen also has someone to protect..."

The queen mother's eyes were fixed on the eldest son with a delicate expression, and she no longer had the lust as before. She said weakly: "Anyway, Meifen has watched you grow up and served the Ai family all her life, so just let her go. "

When Huo Jiheng heard this, the anger in his eyes became the strongest, and he gradually lost control of his tone and said: "She is a slave, and you still know how to pity her. Peilin is only a five-year-old child and your grandson. How can you be willing to lock him up?"

The Queen Mother looked solemn and remained silent in response to Huo Jiheng's question.

The more this happened, the more pain in Huo Jiheng's heart felt like an arrow stabbing him. He shouted with anger mixed with splitting heartache: "Pull out!"

How could Li Qing dare to be slow? He immediately called the eunuch next to him to ask for Meifen.

Mei Fen glanced at the Queen Mother with a gray face and said, "Queen Mother, please take care!"

Unexpectedly, he suddenly stood up, stared at the pillar with burning eyes, and bumped into it without any hesitation.

"Boom!" Hearing a muffled sound, blood suddenly flowed from Mei Fen's forehead, and her body immediately went limp...

The Queen Mother watched helplessly as Mei Fen died from a headbutt. She covered her mouth in shock, her hands trembling without listening. She seemed to have shouted Mei Fen countless times in her throat, but she couldn't make any sound due to the blockage in her throat.

Li Qing was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a moment.

Nalan, on the other hand, had quick eyesight and quick hands, "Why are you still standing there in a daze! Carry it out quickly!"

While they were talking, three or four eunuchs hurriedly carried Mei Fen out.

Realizing that she would never see the maid who had been with her for most of her life, the Queen Mother hoarsely said, "Stop! Don't - don't take her away!"

Huo Jiheng looked at the heartbroken Queen Mother and seemed to have a sense of relief, "Empress Dowager, this is called - retribution!" The Queen Mother, who seemed to have stimulated her nerves, stared at Huo Jiheng with murderous intent, as if this was not her son but her enemy.

"You - you are still so cold-blooded!" the Queen Mother said with uncontrollable hatred.

Huo Jiheng said calmly: "Am I cold-blooded? You are right! Not only am I cold-blooded, I am also ruthless! All of these are thanks to you!"

The Queen Mother just stared at Huo Jiheng.

"You don't have to look at me like this. In all these years, you have never really regarded me as your son. You only regard me as a tool for you to gain power! Your son is Ji Ting..." I said what I have been holding in my heart for many years. Huo Jiheng looked extremely excited.

The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly hurt, and she held her head high, unwilling to look at the emperor again, "It turns out that the Ai family is so miserable in your eyes..."

Huo Jiheng asked coldly: "Jiting smiles at you. You will say that this child is cute, but as for me, if I smile at you, you will only say that I am not doing my job properly. Have you ever remembered that I am just older than Jiting? He is only three years old, he is a child, am I not?"

The Queen Mother's heart trembled and her eyes lowered. Huo Jiheng had never said a word of these words. The Queen Mother even had the illusion that her eldest son would always be so sensible. It turned out that he was so dissatisfied in his heart.

"Aijia——" The Queen Mother muttered several times, but finally did not say it.

Huo Jiheng continued with a cold tone, "Since I was a child, I have known that I have no choice but to be the king, so no matter what happens, I can endure it. I always think that my relationship with the Queen will be nothing more than this in this life, but it makes me What is sad is that you have such contempt for my child. How could Peilin not want to be recognized by the imperial grandmother? He ignored the dissuasion of the palace people and prayed for the empress outside the gate of Jingren Palace every day. Even though you were secretly embarrassed, Peilin never How did you do it without even complaining to me? You scolded, scolded, and looked coldly, but there was no warmth at all! Do you think my child deserves to be treated lightly? "

At the end of the words, there is the majesty and anger cultivated by holding great power.

Seeing Huo Jiheng being so aggressive, the Queen Mother said sharply: "If he had a good mother-in-law and a good upbringing, he wouldn't be so ignorant of etiquette. The Ai family is training him for his own good!"

Huo Jiheng seemed to have heard a big joke. He looked at the cruel empress with doubts and said with a sting in his heart: "Don't you think this is chilling?"

The Queen Mother continued to glance at Huo Jiheng with her eyebrows narrowed.

Huo Jiheng was so excited that he became rebellious, "I have decided that no matter how many princes there are in the future, Peilin will be the eldest son of the emperor and the legitimate son! As long as he is willing to learn and has a heart, I will make him the crown prince!"

The Queen Mother suddenly turned her head, looked at Huo Jiheng, and said sternly: "Are you crazy? How can the country of Dajin be ignored by foreigners?"

Huo Jiheng met the Queen Mother's fierce eyes and said quietly: "This - this is my kingdom..."

The Queen Mother was mute.

"I have one more thing to congratulate the Queen!" Huo Jiheng changed his tone and said meaningfully.

The Queen Mother looked coldly.

"Empress Huang's mother-in-law, you have worked hard and worked hard all your life. Now that your money is gradually stabilizing, I have built a palace in the western suburbs, where your mother-in-law can live in peace of mind." The corner of Huo Jiheng's mouth was slightly raised, but his eyes were full of frost.

The Queen Mother trembled and collapsed for a moment. She pointed at Huo Jiheng and cursed angrily: "You unfilial son!"

Then Huo Jiheng looked at Nalan and said, "Nalan!"

"Wei Chen is here." Nalan cupped his fists and said.

"From now on, I respectfully send the Queen Mother back to the palace!" Huo Jiheng said in a deep voice.

But the Queen Mother sat tightly on the chair and said angrily: "The Ai family won't leave! Even if the Ai family dies, they will die in Shoukang Palace!"

Huo Jiheng turned to look at the Queen Mother, "If the Queen Mother doesn't leave for a day, I will kill everyone from Prince Yu's house until you think it's enough!"
