Chapter 1312: Father and Son Have Grudges

Fortunately, Menglian's personal servant knew a little bit of martial arts, and although he suffered a few injuries, he managed to keep Menglian and her two children safe in the chaos.

Hong Anbo rushed over after hearing the news. He saw the servant covered in blood, standing in front of Menglian and her child. Menglian was trembling while holding the child tightly. When she saw Hong Anbo's tears rolling down her cheeks, she said:
"Please, sir, save our child's life!"

The child's crying aroused the rage of Lord Hong'an. He ordered his servants to beat all the people brought by Zhu Dianhua to death with sticks. He was still not satisfied, so he rushed forward and slapped Zhu Dianhua and his son in the face:

"You ignorant fool! You rebellious son! You want to completely cut off the incense of my Zhu family!"

Since he was a child, Zhu Dianhua had only been scolded by his parents a few times, and being beaten was the first time. His grievances immediately turned into overwhelming resentment, and he contradicted Earl Hong'an.

Uncle Hongan was so angry that he was gasping for breath. Menglian came forward to show concern at the right time, which further widened the rift between father and son.

Zhu Dianhua left in anger, but when he was drunk, he ran into his men who had been sent to kidnap Princess Yeliang's maid. The man who had been executed was standing alive in front of him, which scared him sober.

When Zhu Dianhua heard his subordinates say that they were rescued by the King of Jin and asked him not to cause trouble and agreed to let Menglian and her son enter the mansion, he was so annoyed that he completely lost his drunkenness:

This person didn't save him, he was keeping him privately and threatening him at the critical moment! Like now!

"The old man is holding back on me and guarding against me! Good, very good! For those two bastards, you teamed up with outsiders to threaten me!"

Zhu Dianhua was furious. His physical disability and his father's current attitude made him extremely sad and angry. His only remaining eye turned bloodshot and he secretly vowed to make sure that all those who bullied him would have a miserable death.

Not only in the mansion, but also in the court, there was a bustle.

Master Yao made a big fuss to ask for an audience with the emperor. No matter what the emperor said, he pretended not to understand. He was eager to return to the court, hoping to share the worries of the country, the people and the emperor while he was still strong. The emperor sent him away on the pretext that he was busy with government affairs.

Who would have thought that the next day when all the officials were attending court, Master Yao, relying on the palace badge bestowed by the late emperor, entered the Guangming Palace alone, ignored the emperor's gloomy face, prostrated himself, and shouted loudly:

"Before the late emperor passed away, he entrusted an old minister to assist Your Majesty. Your Majesty worked hard to govern the country and rarely used old ministers. He also felt sorry for my illness and let me be lazy for many years.

A few days ago, I met a fortune teller who said that I only have five years to live. When I thought about meeting the late emperor in five years and the emperor asking me questions, I felt embarrassed to answer, so I couldn't sleep or eat.

Yesterday, I asked the imperial physician to diagnose my pulse. I have recovered. Although I am old, I am not at all senile. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to return to the court and fulfill my loyalty. "

When Master Yao finished speaking, most of the ministers from both dynasties came out and knelt down to agree:
"I beg Your Majesty to allow the Grand Master to return to the court and remain loyal to him."

The emperor gritted his teeth and tightly grasped the dragon head on the armrest of the dragon throne:

This old guy has calculated everything, including pulse diagnosis and fortune telling!

Although he was forced by Master Yao to nod, the emperor still put on a kind smile:
"Teacher and all the elders, please stand up quickly. I have long been looking forward to the return of the Grand Master, but I feel sorry for his frail health, otherwise I would not have left this position vacant for so many years.

Now that the Grand Master has recovered and is willing to return to the court, I will naturally agree."

When Zheng Cheng heard the emperor's agreement, he looked at the figure kneeling on the ground to express his gratitude, and a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes.
