After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

Everyone knew that the emperor had made up his mind to make his position clear and cut the Gordian knot.

In fact, it is not the emperor's fault. When the Zheng family secretly made this matter, he did not know about it. When the late emperor's bizarre decree came down, he was still muttering that the old man was getting more and more confused as he got older. How could he agree to such an absurd thing?

But later when he returned to the palace, Zheng came to him and took credit for it, which made him so angry that he almost went bald.

You said how thrilling the fight for the throne was, how is it possible that just by asking that idiot Old Twenty-Six to say a few good words in front of the emperor, the throne could be given to Old Six, Pei?

Are you kidding?

At the beginning, the two aunts and nieces of the Zheng family married the two brothers one after another. But those bastards who competed with him for the throne saw enough of Pei Laoliu's jokes!

This is why after he ascended the throne, he only conferred the title of noble concubine on his second wife, Princess Zheng.

No other meaning.

It's just that he is narrow-minded and holds grudges.

It was clearly not his fault, but he ended up bearing the blame for no reason. It makes me angry just thinking about it.

Even after so many years, he still couldn't help being angry at the faces of those people who laughed at him. He glanced at the third brother in anger, then waved his hand away, not wanting to be bothered.

"Okay, everyone, go down. Old Six, Shen Mufeng and Chu Zongyuan, stay for a while. Minister Chu, stay too. Someone else can go get the Minister of Revenue to come to me."

These messy and trivial things are just for entertainment and should not interfere with serious work.

Apart from government affairs, I have no other hobbies.

The emperor made it clear that the Zheng family had no room for maneuver and could only swallow this loss. Pei Dingyang and his son kowtowed in ecstasy, then quickly packed up and left the palace.

From now on, their lives and property will be safe!

Shen Mufeng was actually very anxious. Even though he knew that Chu Chu should be fine in the Wucheng Bingmasi, he still didn't want her to stay there.

"Your Majesty, Miss Chu is still in prison. Since the matter of Prince Ding's Mansion has been decided, shouldn't Miss Chu be released as soon as possible?"

This is the confidence of the emperor's favorite minister. As long as he does not pose a threat to the imperial power, it can be said that he is more comfortable than the emperor's legitimate son. At least Pei Changjing does not dare to speak to his biological father like this.

The emperor, who had just relaxed, lay back on the imperial desk. While taking out memorials to kill time, he took the time to glance at the boy and made a non-serious joke.

"Why, is that your relative?"

"That is my savior."

General Shen had a serious look on his face, which made the king smile.

"Okay, since that woman saved my Jade-faced General, she certainly shouldn't end up in a cage because of an unintentional mistake. Someone go and tell them to release that woman."

"According to the order."

The eunuch, who knew his Majesty's temper very well, hurried out to find someone to do the work.

Shen Mufeng, who wished he could make the trip himself, could only look away with a little frustration as he watched Manager Wei go away.

"Her name is Chu Chi."

Relying on the emperor's favor and his outstanding military achievements, this fellow was bold enough to clear the name of the little fairy in front of the emperor, and he turned his head to look at Minister Chu with special significance.

"It's the same word as Chu in Chu Zongyuan's name."

Minister Chu, who was standing aside with his hands in his sleeves watching the fun, immediately stopped smiling. As an old man, how could he not hear the hidden meaning behind the words of the young man?

Shen Mufeng, this little bastard, is trying to destroy me!

I have been an upright official all my life, and I have lived a clean life. I have always been in harmony with my wife, and I have never secretly kept a mistress or had a daughter with her!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he glared back fiercely.

I am innocent, what should I be afraid of? !

"I just said that there are so many people with the surname Chu in the world. Who can tell if someone is from my branch?"

The old fox is best at playing Tai Chi. You must never be too absolute about anything. Otherwise, if you get slapped in the face in the future, it will be too ugly.

When scholars do things, they should focus on being steady and roundabout.

Shen Mufeng was too lazy to bother with Chu Zongyuan's father. Who knows, this might be his relative in the future. So he was very obedient and didn't say anything back.

If the emperor didn't take it seriously at first, now Shen Mufeng's serious introduction forced the emperor to listen.

"Lord Chu, is this really your family?"

"Your Majesty, there are so many people with the surname Chu in the world, how can they..."

"speak English."

"I don't know."

"Whose family does that belong to?"

"I don't know, but she is not my daughter!"

Regarding this point, Minister Chu, who has been upholding male virtues all his life, dared to speak out loudly with his back straightened. I don't admit to things I haven't done, and no one can dare to tarnish my reputation!

The emperor still trusted his trusted old ministers. Since this old man was so sure, it must not be his fault.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Minister of Revenue had not arrived yet and was temporarily unable to handle any serious business, the Emperor casually asked a few questions.

"You three, tell me what's going on inside?"

Well, it's definitely not because he, as an emperor, likes to join in the fun. He is simply caring about his subjects.

Chu Suizui turned his head to the left to look at Old Shen, then to the right to look at his cousin. He felt that in such a situation, he probably didn't need to use his eloquence to avoid being looked down upon by his own father, who would then punish him even more.

Pei Changjing looked at his two friends who were pretending to be dead. He could only curse wildly in his heart while walking forward and answering the questions honestly.

"Your Majesty, this is just our speculation, and we haven't found any definite evidence yet.

But I just heard a lot of doubts about it, so I made a bold guess, and I still need to verify it carefully, just now..."

"Don't waste time, make it short."

The emperor was annoyed that he had to use his brain to join in the fun.

"Oh, that's what it is."

Pei Changjing dared not disobey his father's order, so he could only repeat himself and roughly tell him what he knew.

Then, the emperor, having eaten his fill of melons, was satisfied.

The Minister of Justice, who was suddenly slapped in the face, was so angry that he trembled.

His sharp eyes were directed directly at his own dog.

"You mean to say that the little girl named Chu Chi is your fourth aunt's biological daughter?"

"I'm not quite sure yet..."

Dad's face looked so ugly that Chu Zongyuan, who had been disciplined since he was a child, shuddered reflexively.

"But my sister does look a bit like one of my family members. She looks just like me, very nice."

Minister Chu closed his eyes exhausted.

You little bastard, don't you have any idea what you look like? If that girl really looks like you, she can't be called very nice!
