I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

"Hmph, you don't need to say more. I will definitely investigate today's matter thoroughly."

Soon, all those who were supposed to be on duty in the imperial kitchen were called up.

He knelt on the floor in the imperial kitchen.

"Bang!" The emperor slammed the table, looking at the people on the ground with anger, "Where were you all during your shift? Did you know that the imperial kitchen almost burned down today, causing a disaster?"

The people in the imperial kitchen were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not mean to leave my post."

As they spoke, they did not forget to glance at Rong Mama who was beside the Queen.

The Queen said angrily, "How dare you! What are you looking at me for? Did I ask you to leave without permission?"

"I dare not. Yes, it was Aunt Rong who sent someone to ask us to help, so we left. We had just left for less than an incense stick of time when we saw the imperial kitchen was on fire, so we quickly rushed back."

After these words were spoken, even without asking, the emperor knew that it was the queen's idea.

When he looked at the queen, his eyes were a little colder. "Give twenty strokes of the cane to those who failed in their duties today and send them all out of the palace."

Then, Emperor Hexu looked at the empress and continued, "The empress is derelict in her duty and is under house arrest for a month. She is to reflect on her mistakes and is not to leave the palace without permission."

"What? Your Majesty, I didn't do anything. Please understand clearly." The Queen said unwillingly.

"Enough! Do you want me to investigate the matter thoroughly?" Emperor Hexu shouted harshly.

The queen's face turned pale.

Finally, Emperor Hexu's eyes fell on Rong Mama. "Rong Mama, as an elder by the Queen's side, did not fulfill her duty as a servant and give advice. She is to be sent away."

Rong Mama's face turned pale as paper, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy. "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I am wrong."

Emperor Hexu raised his hand and rubbed his brow, and said to the people outside, "Drag him out."

The guards came in and dragged away Rong Mama and the others.

When Liu Yueru came back, she happened to meet Xie Jingrui, who was exhausted and rushing in, at the door.

He didn't care about the difference between men and women, and pulled Liu Yueru over to check carefully; "Are you injured? Has the imperial physician come to see you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Yueru let Xie Jingrui look at her, and after he had examined her, she slowly said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. The imperial physician said I was just frightened, nothing serious."

Xie Jingrui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine.

"Who gave you the idea to come into the palace alone?" Xie Jingrui asked Liu Yueru unhappily.

Liu Yueru looked towards the door of the imperial study, put her index finger to her lips, and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Only then did Xie Jingrui realize that they were in the imperial study.

"Mother, aunt..." The voices of two little ones suddenly sounded behind me.

The virtuous concubine followed closely behind Liu Yueru, and when she saw the two little ones, her smile widened a little.

At this time, the Queen walked out of the imperial study in a daze, and swept a sinister look over Liu Yueru.

Xie Jingrui subconsciously stood in front of her and saluted the queen, but his eyes were even colder.

The queen snorted coldly, "Don't be complacent too soon."

Liu Yueru looked at the Queen's back as she hurriedly left. This completely gave up the Queen's idea of ​​keeping her in the palace, but it also meant she had offended the Queen.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here, and nothing will happen to you. Come back to the palace and wait for me later." Xie Jingrui stood tall beside Liu Yueru.

It made Liu Yueru feel particularly at ease.

"Come in." Xie Jingrui's voice sounded gently in her ears.

Several people took Yan Ge'er and Hua Ge'er and walked into the imperial study.

But ever since Yan Ge'er came in, Liu Yueru felt that Emperor Hexu's gaze was always on Yan Ge'er.

Liu Yueru looked at Xie Jingrui with some confusion.

Feeling Liu Yueru's gaze, Xie Jingrui's deep black eyes smiled gently at her.

"how?"

Liu Yueru withdrew her gaze and shook her head gently.

After several people came before Emperor Hexu and bowed to each other, Emperor Hexu extended his hand in the direction of Yan Ge'er.

"Brother Yan, come here and let me see you." Emperor Hexu called him with a kind face.

Yan Ge'er followed his instructions and walked towards the direction of Emperor Hexu, calling out to him, "Grandpa Emperor."

"Hey!" Emperor Hexu responded with a smile on his face, looking at Brother Yan who was calm, reserved and able to take the overall situation into consideration.

Emperor Hexu was very satisfied.

He reached out his hand and touched Yan Ge'er's face, then looked at Hua Ge'er on the side.

Seeing this, Hua Ge'er jumped up to the front of Emperor Hexu and said, "Grandpa Emperor, do you miss us?"

Emperor Hexu laughed cheerfully, and his unhappiness disappeared when he saw Yan Ge'er and Hua Ge'er.

"Yes, Grandpa Huang is happy to see you two."

The words fell.

He looked at Yan Ge'er and then at Hua Ge'er, and only then did he become convinced of what Xie Jingrui said.

"You sit down too." Emperor Hexu said.

Then he held Yan Ge'er on his lap and asked patiently, "Yan Ge'er, would you like to take Grandpa Huang's surname in the future?"

Yan Ge'er glanced in the direction of Liu Yueru and saw Liu Yueru nod slightly.

Then he turned around and said, "It is a blessing for Brother Yan to have the same surname as Grandpa Huang. However, the grace of giving birth to and raising me belongs to mother. Brother Yan will follow mother. Wherever mother goes, Brother Yan will be there."

Emperor Hexu was overjoyed when he heard Yan Ge'er's flawless answer.

"Well, you are a loyal and filial person. Do you know that your mother will marry the King of Jin soon? We will be a family in the future."

Yan Ge'er nodded slightly, but his eyes became a little more complicated when he looked at Xie Jingrui.

Emperor Hexu could not bring those things out clearly, but just looked at Yan Ge'er inquiringly, hoping that he could be included in the Xie family tree along with Liu Yueru.

Emperor Hexu saw that Brother Yan was silent, so he asked, "Are you willing?"

Hua Ge'er stepped forward and took Yan Ge'er's hand and said happily, "After so many days, we will be a real family. My father is your father, your mother is my mother, and the emperor grandfather and virtuous concubine grandmother are all ours."

Yan Ge'er and everyone else were amused by Hua Ge'er's appearance.

Yan Ge'er said without hesitation, "Okay."

"Yeah!" Hua Ge'er cheered, and then suddenly thought of something.

He turned around and looked at Xie Jingrui and asked, "Father, you should get married to my aunt tomorrow. I want my aunt to come to the mansion earlier."

Concubine Xian was amused by Hua Ge'er, and she explained helplessly, "I can't do it tomorrow. There are many trivial matters to be done for the wedding in at least two months. It's not that there is no way to complete it."

The joy on Hua Ge'er's face disappeared visibly, and he pouted and said, "Doesn't that mean we have to wait for a long time?"

Xie Jingrui cast an admiring look towards Hua Ge'er.
