Chapter 194 The wife who served as a scapegoat 2
He gritted his teeth and trembled as he said, "Madam... Madam, this, this, this..."
"Shut up." He Yue glanced at the housekeeper coldly.
The housekeeper looked at the indifferent He Yue and didn't dare to say anything. He immediately shut his mouth tightly, fearing that the lady would beat him up if he was too late.
"Why are you still supporting him? He is your father?" He Yue pointed at Pan Ge who was being supported by the housekeeper.
The housekeeper twitched his lips when he heard this, thinking, this is much more important than my father. But, judging from what the lady meant, she wanted him to...
"Madam, I will put the master on the couch right now."
"Throw it on the ground."
"Madam?" The housekeeper thought he had heard wrongly and looked up at He Yue again.
"Don't you want your ears anymore?" He Yue played with the dagger in her hand and looked at the butler coldly.
“Yes, yes, yes…” The housekeeper didn’t dare to delay any longer and threw Pan Ge to the ground.
The housekeeper lamented in his heart: "Master, you and the young master were both beaten. I am also afraid of the Madam, so I can only apologize to you..."
He Yue took out a poison pill and handed it to the butler, who took it and put it into his mouth.
"If you want to live, you must be obedient. If I find out that you secretly hire a doctor for them, I will send you to the west."
"Madam, rest assured. I dare not."
"Oh, right. Lock them up in the woodshed and give them only a bowl of water for washing the pot a day to keep them alive."
"Yes, ma'am." The butler didn't dare to ask more questions and could only obey the order.
After He Yue left, the housekeeper felt overwhelmed by the scene in the hall.
He then found other people to carry out the servants who were injured by He Yue, and had people carry the Pan father and son to the woodshed.
"Butler, go find the Pan family members and ask them to save us father and son." Seeing that there was no one around, Pan Ge immediately pulled the butler's hand and said.
"Master, I'm sorry. I want to live too. I can't go to the Pan family..."
"You...you you, you dog slave..." Pan Ge cursed angrily.
The housekeeper ignored him and locked the door as soon as he left the woodshed.
Her original identity was An Yongwei, the eldest daughter of the An family. After she came of age, she married Pan Ge and gave birth to a child prodigy, Pan Kui.
With a smart son, An Yongwei enjoys a very respected position in the Pan family.
The royal family also admired Pan Kui very much and chose him as the prince's study companion at an early stage.
The couple loves each other and the son is doing well. Everyone envies her good life.
An Yongwei always thought that her life would be like this from now on, and she would just wait until her son got married so that she could enjoy having grandchildren.
Who knew that something would happen that would take her life in an instant.
The fatal idea came from her son, whom she was so proud of.
During the Chengping period, Nanjiang and Xichu presented four treasures to Lingli State.
Emperor Chengping looked at the treasures and intended to let two favored concubines in the harem keep them, but he was reluctant to harm either of them, and for a moment he didn't know who to give them to.
Pan Ge suggested that since Empress Su came into the palace first and is still pregnant, the baby should be kept by Empress Su.
Emperor Chengping thought it made sense and gave the treasure to Concubine Su.
And it is clearly stated: As long as the person is there, the treasure is there; if the treasure is destroyed, the person will die.
Mei Fei was very dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior. After discussing with her brother Mei Lin, she went to Su Fei's palace to see the treasure.
After seeing the treasure, Mei Fei became even more jealous. She knocked the treasure to the ground when Su Fei was not paying attention.
Seeing the mess on the ground, Concubine Mei ran to Emperor Chengping and started to complain.
After hearing Concubine Mei's slander, Emperor Chengping was furious and wanted to sentence Concubine Su to death.
Some people began to petition for Concubine Su's favor, but Emperor Chengping stayed in the palace with Concubine Mei and refused to give in.
Pan Ge was the prime minister. Concubine Su had saved his sister in the past, but the emperor would not allow him to plead for her in the palace.
He threatened to resign, but Emperor Chengping still refused to pardon him.
He had no choice but to go home and sit in his study sighing.
When Pan Kui got home from school, he saw his father looking worried. He asked him and made a suggestion.
After hearing this, Pan Ge clapped his hands and laughed, praising himself for having a good son.
After careful selection, none of the maids in the house were suitable.
When they were at a loss, Pan Kui saw his mother. He felt that her figure and temperament were very similar to Su Fei.
He told Pan Ge about this discovery, who disagreed immediately.
However, he could not resist Pan Kui's persuasion.
Pan Kui said that it was an honor for them as subjects to die for the emperor. Their family would definitely be remembered in history books.
Besides, if the baby in Concubine Su's belly has a chance to ascend the throne in the future, their family will be honored.
When Pan Ge heard this, he was also very moved. Just by giving up a woman, he could get such a great benefit. He immediately knelt in front of the original body and began to persuade him.
After hearing what they said, the original body gnashed his teeth in hatred and even raised his hand to slap Pan Kui a few times.
This also angered Pan Kui, and he threatened the original body that if she did not agree, he would kill her nephew.
The original body also witnessed the cruelty of the father and son, and agreed with reluctance.
Pan Ge conspired with the chief eunuch Hu Quanzhong in the palace and sent the original body into the palace.
After hearing Pan Ge's purpose of coming, Concubine Su was deeply moved.
After thanking the original body, he promised Pan Ge many benefits.
She then exchanged clothes with her original self and left the palace with the servants of the Pan family.
Hu Quanzhong was afraid that Merlin would discover the flaw, so he hanged his original body before Merlin arrived.
When Merlin arrived, the original body had already been put into the coffin, and he wanted to open the coffin lid to verify the identity.
Pan Ge and his son and Hu Quanzhong tried to stop him in various ways. Meilin was so angry that he went to Emperor Chengping to report them.
He said that Pan Ge had swapped Concubine Su with his own wife, and that was why he had been preventing him from verifying his identity.
Under the instigation of Concubine Mei, Emperor Chengping agreed to let Meilin search the Pan family.
Pan Kui was afraid that Meilin would come and find his mother was not there, so he ordered a maid to be killed, dressed her in her mother's clothes, laid her on the couch and covered her with a quilt.
When Merlin broke into the Pan family and searched the house, a maid came to report that the lady had been frightened to death by Merlin.
Pan Ge dragged Meilin to the court and made a scene. At this time, Emperor Chengping's mind became better.
He ordered Merlin to take Lady Pan out of the city, and the matter was settled.
The Pan father and son achieved their goal. They stopped making trouble and agreed to the emperor's proposal.
When Merlin was pulling the coffin, Concubine Su was put into a coffin. After Merlin pulled the coffin out of the city, the father and son took Concubine Su out of the coffin.
The people who met her outside the city took her away from the capital.
The old Emperor Taiping had no children, so Pan Ge and Hu Quanzhong told him what had happened.
Emperor Chengping was overjoyed and welcomed back Su Jiao and her son in a high-profile manner.
Su Jiao was made queen, and the child was made crown prince.
After Emperor Chengping died, the new emperor ascended the throne. The Pan family had done favors for the new emperor and his mother, so they became the new emperor's favorites.
The new emperor also rewarded them generously, and for a time the Pan family became extremely powerful in the capital.
