Chapter 542: Revenge
"I know this matter may be a big blow to you, but are you willing to watch your husband and Queen Mother Yuan have an affair, and their illegitimate son sit on the throne and suppress you?"
"What will your children think when they know about this in the future?"
"I, I don't want to." Mrs. Cao's eyes were red, and tears had wet her entire face without her noticing.
She turned to look at Ji Yuntang, her injured eyes filled with pain and despair.
"He broke our vows first, and then abandoned his wife and children. He doesn't deserve my forgiveness."
"For the past 17 years, I have been living in a dream, always fantasizing that one day he would come back alive, stand in front of me and my two children, and say sorry to us."
"So I took on the responsibility of the entire family, desperately helping him manage the Jiang family's business and taking care of his parents, just to not let him down."
"But reality tells me that I am the stupidest person. He is totally using me. He doesn't even want his own parents and children, so how can he understand my difficulties?"
Ji Yuntang sighed and said quietly: "Madam Cao, we women should never dream of relying on men. The fact that you can do business well with your own hands and make a name for yourself proves that you are already very capable."
"You are not worse than your husband. On the contrary, you are better than him. You are not inseparable from him or the Jiang family. You have lived well without your husband over the years, right?"
Mrs. Cao's voice was choked with sobs, but she agreed with Ji Yuntang's statement in her heart.
"You're right. I don't rely on him or the entire Jiang family. I can still use my own hands to earn money to support my two children."
"Jiang Yanfan lied to me for seventeen years. I thought I had known him for a long time and was familiar with his character. We loved each other, but that was just my self-righteousness. How many seventeen years can a person have in his life?"
Seeing her face full of sorrow, Xie Liuzheng seemed to have aged a few years in an instant. He couldn't help but ask: "Madam Cao, why are you still thinking about this scumbag who abandoned his wife and children? He is not worth your sadness at all."
"Don't you want to take revenge on him?"
Hearing these two words, Madam Cao was slightly stunned. "Revenge? He has Empress Dowager Yuan protecting him. How can I take revenge on him?"
Hua Feixue said, "Madam Cao, I will tell you the truth. I have an irreconcilable feud with Empress Dowager Yuan. Today, she wants to make her illegitimate son with the Imperial Master the Crown Prince and seize the world that the Chu family has conquered. No matter what, we will go to the palace today to stop her."
"Over the years, the Imperial Master helped Empress Dowager Yuan do many evil things for her. They even plotted to kill the real Lingxi Zhenren and used witchcraft to replace his face."
"So this time, I will decide the fate of both him and Queen Mother Yuan!"
At this point, Hua Feixue sat down and continued, "We have almost collected the evidence of Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master having an affair."
"I wrote to you this time because I have some selfish reasons. You are Jiang Yanfan's wife, so your words will surely be more convincing."
"If you want to take revenge on them personally, we can take you to the palace and let you expose Jiang Yanfan's true face in person."
"But if you have concerns in your heart and don't want to enter the palace, it doesn't matter. The evidence we have is enough to bring disgrace to both the Imperial Master and Queen Mother Yuan!"
Madam Cao clenched her hands tightly, suppressing the ups and downs in her heart. After a long time, she spoke: "I want to take revenge on them personally. Take me to the palace!"
Hua Feixue's eyes deepened and she said, "Okay, I'll ask General Shen to find a way to bring you to the palace later."
"As for your safety, don't worry. General Shen will send someone to protect you."
Mrs. Cao stood up and said, "Thank you for telling me this. Otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark by him for the rest of my life."
Ji Yuntang took a few steps forward and said, "You don't have to thank us, we are doing this for ourselves, but if we can help you by the way, we would be happy to do so."
Mrs. Cao pursed her lips sadly, a hint of self-mockery appearing on her face.
On the other side, the palace.
The ceremony of establishing the crown prince was held today. Early in the morning, Empress Dowager Yuan sent someone to secretly bring Yuan Chao to the palace.
The moment she saw Yuan Chao’s bald head, she felt like the sky was falling.
She ran over and hugged Yuan Chao, reaching out and carefully touching his head.
"Chao'er, how's your hair? Has your condition gotten worse recently?"
Yuan Chao looked up at her but said nothing.
He had promised Xie Liuzheng before that this was a secret between them.
As long as he doesn't tell anyone about this, he will give himself more candy in the future.
But if you say it, the candy will be gone.
When Empress Dowager Yuan saw that he didn't say a word, she became even more anxious.
"Chao'er, don't scare your mother."
She thought that Yuan Chao's condition must have worsened, so all his hair fell out.
After all, the courtyard was heavily guarded, and no one could get in and harm the Yuan Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Yuan immediately shouted anxiously: "Madame An, hurry up and invite Doctor Yun."
Ji Yuntang had just entered the palace. Because she had become Empress Dowager Yuan's personal physician, no guards in the palace dared to stop her.
Today is the ceremony of establishing the crown prince. A long row of magnificent carriages are parked in front of the gate of the Western Shu Kingdom’s palace, and men and women in gorgeous clothes can be seen everywhere in the palace.
They had something hidden in their sleeves. Several of them huddled together with their heads lowered, whispering about something.
Ji Yuntang could tell at a glance that it was a photo she printed out.
I don’t know whether Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master saw it.
Ji Yuntang was full of anticipation. She thought of taking this opportunity to walk around and observe how many guards were patrolling the palace today so that she would have a better idea of the number.
Then, she saw a man running towards her, grabbing her arm and walking towards the palace.
"Doctor Yun, something terrible has happened. Please follow me."
Ji Yuntang: "..."
The person who came was none other than Nanny An. Ji Yuntang was wondering, could it be that after seeing the photo, the old witch got so angry that her headache flared up again?
I didn't give her acupuncture yesterday, and the treatment was discontinued on the third day. When the old witch's headache flared up, it was two or three times more painful than before.
But according to the time, she had already treated the old witch with acupuncture twice, so her headache shouldn't have flared up so quickly.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuntang asked directly, "Madame An, what's wrong with the Empress Dowager?"
As Nanny An led Ji Yuntang away, she said, "Doctor Yun, don't ask so many questions. You'll know when we get there."
