Seeing the Queen Mother pretending to be surprised, Chonglian understood why Huo Shang deliberately helped her at the door.
The pretense of intimacy was done for the Queen Mother's confidant, the nanny, and the purpose was to observe whether the Queen Mother was related to Chonglian.
Han Jiyun's love for his wife is so profound that no one will suspect that he is cuckolding himself.
Excluding the possibility that Chonglian directed and acted, then the Queen Mother who participated in the Qin Taifei incident was most likely to be the one who sent Chonglian to the palace.
It didn't matter to Chonglian what conclusion Huo Shang came to. She only cared about the meaning of the Queen Mother's acting.
She looked closely at the Queen Mother's face.
People have three stops. The top, middle and bottom respectively correspond to a person's experiences in youth, middle age and old age.
The lower stop is from the bottom of the nose to the chin, which represents after the age of fifty-one.
The Queen Mother is 50 years old this year. She has been rich all her life, but she still has room for advancement.
She is already the Queen Mother, how can she leave?
Of course, Huo Shang stepped down and her blood relatives took over.
Judging from this appearance, Chonglian knew that the Queen Mother and Huo Shang were bound to die. The way she looked at him showed a bit of contempt, even if it was deeply hidden.
This old lady was afraid that she would have joined forces with Han Jiyun long ago.
Purpose?
In addition to making Huo Shang lose his Chu Yang Qi so that Concubine Qin can get closer more easily, he is probably still patching up Concubine Qin's plan.
If Concubine Qin failed, Han Jiyun, Huo Shang's good friend, could use Huo Shang's guilt to gain power and act as the Queen Mother's internal adviser.
These people are really vicious and shameless.
Now, the good news is that she knows one of Han Jiyun's trump cards. The bad news is that the Queen Mother has to be added to the list of blood contracts with the original owner and must be killed.
The Queen Mother frowned: "Mr. Zhong, the Ai family is asking you, why are you with the emperor?"
Chong Lian recalled the character of the original owner and said timidly: "I was lucky enough to save you and was a little injured, so the Holy Master took me to the palace to see the imperial doctor."
The Queen Mother sneered: "I heard that the Holy One favored a woman even when he was ill? Is that you? As a minister's wife, you are so dissolute..."
Chonglian's face turned red: "Even if you are the Queen Mother, you cannot slander my concubine's innocence like this! Do you want me to die in your palace to show my innocence?"
She stood very close to Huo Shang, and when she was about to hit a pillar, she glanced at him sideways with her peach blossom eyes, her commanding tone was natural and squeamish.
Huo Shang was forced to assist in the acting, but it was difficult to feel displeasure in her beautiful eyes, especially after seeing the gloomy look on the Queen Mother's face, he felt a subtle sense of joy.
He stood up and stood in front of Chonglian, and said displeasedly: "Is the Queen Mother too anxious and confused?"
He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhong did a great job in rescuing me, and also saved my aunt in the palace. I have promised my aunt to adopt her as my adopted daughter, and she will be my biological sister."
The Queen Mother almost laughed out of anger. A brother and sister who sleep for hours at a time? !
She tried to expose the fig leaf between the two of them, but saw Huo Shang looking in the direction of her palace with a cold expression.
"The Huo family's son bleeds but does not shed tears. Huo Qinhao is too squeamish. I have already said that I will teach him personally."
A chill ran down the Queen Mother's back, and she suddenly woke up.
The Zhong girl had a charming appearance and a hot figure. Huo Shang had never touched a woman before, so it was normal for him to protect her when he met such a beauty.
She can't rush.
You must catch the adulterer in bed before you can use this threat.
She took a deep breath: "The Ai family misunderstood."
She pretended to be angry: "The people in the palace really don't understand the rules more and more, and they dare to say anything."
Huo Shang said calmly: "The queen mother heard from someone, tell me, I will kill them all."
The Queen Mother hesitated, and was about to say that she couldn't remember, but Huo Shang had already asked the personal guards to come in. In such a manner, he did not intend to let the personal guards leave until the person who spread the rumors was found.
The Queen Mother chose the one who took the blame with a cold face. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Chonglian hiding behind Huo Shang. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that the two were in love, a man and a woman.
She said calmly: "I heard that someone in Kang'an Palace bullied your aunt? Mr. Zhong, was it you?"
Huo Shang's expression was indifferent: "Who did the Queen Mother hear from when she said this? Call her out, and I'll ask my bodyguards to ask her as well."
The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Emperor, the Ai family just wants to ask clearly if you should let Mr. Chong return to the Ai family!"
She knew that the women of the Zhong family were weak and despicable, and could not withstand the questioning. She said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhong, is it possible that you will never talk to the Ai family? Come out and answer!"
Chonglian was submissive: "You, did you see it while leaning on the window?"
Queen Mother: "..."
Queen Mother: "?"
She thought she heard wrongly.
What the hell is this guy talking about?
She said angrily: "You are so presumptuous!"
Chonglian was shy and timid: "Or have you been deceived by someone? Is she the little palace maid who was dragged here by brother's order from outside? I heard from brother that she was leaning against the window tonight."
The Queen Mother said with a cold face: "Are you trying not to plead guilty?"
Since she made up her mind to embarrass her, she never thought of protecting the chess piece outside, and she was sure that the chess piece would tell the truth.
But before she could have a seizure, she heard Huo Qinhao scream sharply, and then the crying suddenly stopped, followed by many palace maids and eunuchs screaming in surprise.
The Queen Mother stood up suddenly and walked quickly into the house: "What's going on? Hao'er?"
Chong Lian hid behind Huo Shang and tugged on his waistband: "That child was frightened by the remnant soul of the evil cultivator who died suddenly. That thing is very ferocious. Unless he follows you, he won't be able to recover."
Huo Shang's expression paused slightly: "Can you see it?"
Chong Lian hummed and said, "I'm so miserable. I'm an old eunuch. When he was eating fish, a fish bone pierced his throat and his vocal cords were injured. He couldn't even scream for help.
He wanted to open the door, but when he went out, he tripped over the threshold. He swallowed the fish bone and pierced his stomach. It took him three hours of pain before he died. "
Huo Shang felt fierce when he heard it. He turned to look at the little girl who was as delicate as petals, but saw that her eyes were full of joy and she didn't seem to be surprised at all.
This little girl is really brave.
Chonglian encouraged him: "Shall we go in and take a look? As soon as you arrive, the dragon energy will protect the body, and the child will stop crying immediately."
Huo Shang never liked coming to the Queen Mother's palace, let alone joining in the fun, but for some reason, being encouraged by Chong Lian softly, he actually developed a bit of a fun-loving attitude.
He walked toward the palace with long legs, but the eunuchs and maids who had not moved before immediately stopped him.
"Your Majesty, you can't go in!"
"That's the Queen Mother's palace!"
"Your Highness was frightened today. What if you go in again and frighten him even more?"
Chong Lian finally figured out that the Queen Mother was indeed very afraid of Huo Shang, but for some reason she looked down on him. She followed the example and allowed these slaves to dare to attack him.
Huo Shang said calmly: "Drag him out."
As soon as the words fell, the guards at the door came in like wolves and tigers, covered the mouths of the three people who spoke and dragged them away. From the sound, it seemed that they would never have the chance to speak again in this life.
When the others saw this, they remembered his terror and trembled, daring not to stop him.
Huo Shang entered the Queen Mother's palace unimpeded, and when he saw Huo Qinhao staring at the corner of the wall, he couldn't stop crying.
This kid was usually lively, domineering and cruel, but now he was trembling like a quail, with mucus, tears, and vomit everywhere.
From Chonglian's perspective, as Huo Shang came in, the cold-skinned old eunuch squatting in the corner with his mouth open immediately closed his mouth and ran away along the crack in the window.
When the Queen Mother saw Huo Shang looking at her precious grandson like a dog in water, she was furious: "Emperor, you..."
Before she finished speaking, her grandson suddenly relaxed, the fearless expression on his face disappeared, and he hugged her while crying, pointing at Huo Shang and howling sharply.
"Let him out! I don't like debt collectors!"
Chonglian looked at the naughty kid whose face was covered in tears and snot, and frowned in disgust.
The stinky little kid should be scared to death by ghosts and cry!
The Queen Mother said with a cold face: "Didn't you hear me? Emperor, get out quickly! You are trying to kill me. You are the reincarnation of an evil ghost who came to collect debts. Don't scare Hao'er!"
Chonglian grabbed Huo Shang and left.
Bear parents deserve to be tortured by their children!
