Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Ming Fei frowned slightly. She glanced at Shao Xingjian who was standing below without saying a word. Maybe he was prepared?

The prime minister clapped his hands, and the palace servants led in a few people with somewhat embarrassed faces. This was the first time for these people to enter the palace, and they looked very frightened. They knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted "Long live the emperor!"

"Everyone, please stand up," the emperor said with a smile on his face, looking somewhat kind, "Are you all the people of Liangtuo?"

Among the people brought by the prime minister there were men, women, young and old. One of the older women was even using a cane.

Several younger people surrounded her and supported her carefully.

"Your Majesty, we are all born and raised in Liangtuo."

The emperor nodded, "Do you know all of Chen Fanzhi's family?"

The elderly woman spoke first, "The Chen family and my family's home are right next to each other. On weekdays, I can smell the fragrance of Chen's herbs through the courtyard wall."

"Then the Chen family's adopted daughter, Chen Qingqing, do you recognize her?"

The name Chen Qingqing made Gu Qinghe's eyelashes tremble slightly.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that this adopted daughter of the Chen family has been very naughty since she was young. She always teases cats and dogs at a young age, which is really annoying. I am old now, and it is really a headache to listen to her quarrels every day. Two years ago, I don't know where that girl learned to roast wild game. The fire almost burned down my house. I was so angry that I fell seriously ill. Since then, my body has been in poor condition."

She looked very angry. "Even if that damn girl turned into ashes, I can recognize her at a glance. If an old woman like me sees her, I will definitely arrest her and bring her to justice!"

The emperor was very satisfied. He pointed at Gu Qinghe who was bowing his head beside him and said, "Look, is this the adopted daughter of the Chen family you mentioned?"

The old woman's gaze slowly turned towards Gu Qinghe, and Gu Qinghe raised his head and looked at her.

The old woman moved and said, "Your Majesty, I am old and my eyesight is a little blurry. Can you come closer and take a look?"

"nature."

The old woman walked towards her, and Gu Qinghe stood there motionless.

As they got closer, a light flashed in the old woman's eyes, "This figure is quite similar."

The Prime Minister's joy was beyond words.

She walked to Gu Qinghe and stopped, looking at the huge red spot on her body. She frowned and shook her head, "No, that's not the case. Although the adopted daughter of the Chen family is like a monkey, she is indeed beautiful, but she is not like this."

The Prime Minister hurriedly said: "This face can be disguised. Do you remember if there is any birthmark on the Chen family's adopted daughter?"

"I do remember one. I took a look at her when Doctor Lu brought her back." The old woman pointed at her back. "The adopted daughter of the Chen family had a plum blossom-shaped birthmark on her shoulder blade."

The emperor waved his hand and called the palace servant to take Gu Qinghe behind the screen for examination.

Gu Qinghe was very cooperative.

After a while, the palace maid came out to report that there was no birthmark on the shoulder blade or the entire back.

The red spots on his face were rubbed vigorously with a handkerchief, but there was no change at all.

The prime minister's face turned grim and he was about to say something.

But the emperor lost his patience. "Alright, even if the birthmark on your face can be faked, she didn't know you would have this experience today. The birthmark on your body is unexpected and you can't fake it in time, right? Or do you not trust these Liangtuo people you brought with you?"

The prime minister immediately knelt on the ground and said, "That's not what I meant."

"I don't care what you mean, let's just leave it at that and don't mention it again."

He waved his hand and asked the palace servants to send these Liangtuo people away.

As the old woman passed by Gu Qinghe again, she muttered to herself, "If I see that damn girl, I will recognize her at once with my old bones, at once..."

But she didn't dare to look up at Gu Qinghe again.

And Gu Qinghe was never called Chen Qingqing, and there was never any plum blossom birthmark on her shoulder blade.

The nails dug into the palm of his hand, and the pain kept Gu Qinghe awake.

The government changed her name on the household register, sent her away in a blaze of fire, and now used vicious words to protect her one last time.

They wanted her to live.

……

The emperor pressed his temples, dealt with one case after another, and looked at Shao Xingjian, who was standing there like a stone pillar, "What's wrong with you?"

Shao Xingjian bowed and said calmly, "This is not a big problem for me. I just want to ask the Prime Minister if you have any grudge against Doctor Gu and you want to kill her?"

"You!" The Prime Minister looked at Shao Xingjian fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Although Shao Xingjian has a somewhat cold personality, he does not easily make enemies with others. He can chat with anyone with a cold face.

The Prime Minister had talked with him several times before. Compared with Shao Wei, the Prime Minister actually valued Shao Xingjian more as his son-in-law.

But his daughter's heart was on Shao Wei, so he had no choice.

But the prime minister still admired Shao Xingjian.

As if some dark thoughts were suddenly revealed, the Prime Minister was particularly angry. "Speaking of which, I would like to ask Lord Shao, this case of poor medical skills causing death should not be handled by the Dali Temple. Why was this woman detained in the Dali Temple? Has Lord Shao interrogated her?"

The emperor had seen all kinds of scenes. He had seen two ministers swearing at each other right under his nose during court sessions. He had become accustomed to it.

Ming Fei held his head down for him. He just waited for the two to finish arguing, and then he would slowly make a judgment for them.

"Of course she was interrogated, otherwise I wouldn't ask you like this." Shao Xingjian's expression remained unchanged. "As for why this woman was detained in the Dali Temple, perhaps you can go back and ask your wife and daughter. If she hadn't been detained in the Dali Temple, I'm afraid this woman would have died standing here long ago."

Gu Qinghe swallowed his saliva.

As expected of Shao Xingjian, he was planning to confront the Prime Minister in front of the Golden Palace, so why didn't he tell her in advance and let her prepare in advance?

Fortunately, Gu Qinghe reacted very quickly. He showed his surprise appropriately and looked towards the Prime Minister. He seemed to have no idea how he had offended the Prime Minister.

"You are talking nonsense! What does this have to do with my wife and daughter? It was this man's poor medical skills that harmed other people's lives. Lord Shao has repeatedly protected him. Could it be that he has something to do with this woman?" Once the Prime Minister's wife and Li Qiulian were involved, the Prime Minister lost his mind and became so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

"Prime Minister, please be careful with your words." Prime Minister Ren was so angry that he jumped up and down, but Shao Xingjian remained calm and said, "I never favor anyone. I only look at the evidence and the truth. If you say that I am protecting this girl, I admit it. After all, Shao Wei is far away in Chizhou. As his brother, I can't fail to take care of the only person he asked me to help look after."
