Revenge of Rebirth: Beauty scheming

Chapter 475

The matter of Zhao Cheng fainting in front of the hall, after being exaggerated by rumors, became that the emperor punished him to kneel in front of the hall for four hours, so he fainted.

A father who just lost his beloved son was severely punished by the emperor just because he wanted justice. How cruel is such an emperor?
Officials in the DPRK and China naturally do not believe such rumors, but the common people do.As a result, rumors about the emperor's benevolence spread, and even nursery rhymes were made up.

In desperation, the emperor granted the old lady a first-rank imperial order.

This gradually dissipated the rumors, but it did not benefit the Zhao family.

The old lady was bedridden, and her condition became more and more serious day by day. Apart from lethargy every day, as long as she was a little awake, she would ask Zhao Yuanxiang if the murderer had been found?

At this moment, the old lady was asking.

She pinched Zhao Yuanxiang's palm lightly with her withered hands, her empty eyes were unfocused, and she asked in a trembling voice: "The murderer... has he been caught?"

Her voice was very like a black crow on an old tree, hoarse and unpleasant, with a sense of death.

Zhao Yuanxiang watched the old lady lose her anger day by day, and now she has no resentment towards this grandma in her heart.

The old lady is just an old man who is dying, and the things she has done before will disappear completely with her death.

Zhao Yuanxiang held her hand tightly, and said softly: "Grandma, you don't have to worry about it, everything will be handled by father."

In fact, ever since Zhao Cheng fainted in front of the palace, the emperor had taken a scapegoat, so he was even a little dissatisfied with Zhao Cheng. He used the excuse to ask Zhao Cheng to take good care of his health, avoid his morning court, and let him stay at home.

And the matters that belonged to Zhao Cheng's jurisdiction were temporarily handed over to Yu Wenrong, the great master.

To put it bluntly, if Zhao Cheng continues to focus on only one truth, then his prime minister position will exist in name only.

However, no one told the old lady about these things, and they were kept secret.Otherwise, the old lady's condition will definitely worsen again, and even... die.

"Yuan Xiang, there is only you... The Zhao family, there is only you..."

The old lady spoke in a hoarse voice, and gently squeezed Zhao Yuanxiang's hand, "We were the ones who let you down before, but now, the Zhao family has only you... Help your father well, help him well..."

"How can I help?" Zhao Yuanxiang suddenly wanted to laugh when he heard the words.But she controlled it, her face was as calm as water.

"Your father, he is still young... As long as you take a few more concubines, there will be future ones..." The old lady's voice became weaker as she spoke, and finally, Zhao Yuanxiang's voice was so weak that Zhao Yuanxiang had to be extremely energetic to hear it clearly.

"You are smart and steady. If you can be the princess...the Zhao family will have hope..."

A sneer flashed across the corner of Zhao Yuanxiang's mouth, he let go of the old lady's hand and stood up, took two steps back, and said calmly: "Grandma, this matter is too difficult, please forgive my granddaughter for being stupid, she can't do it."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out the door.

Earlier, she had felt compassion for this grandma, and seeing that she was dying of illness, she thought that everything in the past would disappear, and in the last days, she must do her best to be filial.

But what happened?Zhao Yuanxiang laughed, laughing at himself for being too soft-hearted.

For a cold-blooded person, that blood will never be warmed up.Back then, their mother and son could do that kind of thing for the sake of glory and wealth, so now they will do the same.

Zhao Yuanxiang smiled, called Du Ruo, and walked casually in the back garden to relax.

I had only been walking in the back garden for less than a quarter of an hour, but a servant girl rushed over and cried, "Second Miss, it's not good! The old lady... she's out of breath!"
