Chapter 909: Protecting the Short

Speaking of which, Concubine Lan had never seen Lan Hai, and naturally she had never seen Lan Tang, but this time when she returned to her parents' house to save her relatives, she learned that the Nanchu Lan Divine Doctor, who had recently become so famous that it had been spread to Zhao State, was actually her uncle, and Concubine Lan's sisters were shocked.

Concubine Lan's sisters-in-law were full of righteous indignation when they said the news that had just come back, they were all in the main room, and they were particularly disgusted with women like Xu Xiumei.

Especially knowing that Lan Tang may be pregnant soon after entering the door, and on the way back to her mother-in-law's house, she was harassed by Xu Xiumei and her party, and she may even be so angry that she has a fetal gas, and the sisters-in-law are very annoyed by the incompetence of this sister-in-law who has never met.

The sisters-in-law said that they would find a way to help Lan Tang get angry and teach the woman who was bold enough to rob their cousin's husband.

Concubine Lan Fang lives far away in the capital of Zhao Kingdom, and she can't participate in the grand event together, and when she leaves, she doesn't forget to tell her sisters-in-law and sisters, if she gets any news, she must send her a letter quickly.

As a result, before she entered Yuecheng, she got a new beauty from His Royal Highness, this beauty was still on the mountain road, and she was sent to the door by herself, and the maids blew the woman's ability into the sky, saying that she was favored by His Royal Highness, and only after entering the door did a few palace maids who had been cleaned up.

Concubine Lan knew that the maids waiting beside her, except for the ones she brought in from her mother's house, were either rewarded by the princess or allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but who didn't know that the princess rewarded her, although she respected her master on the surface, she was actually loyal to her original master.

There are also those sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who knows who the master behind them is, anyway, no matter whether she has any doubts about these people, she has all drugged these people, if they are honest, then everyone will be fine, if not, hum, the people in their Medicine King Valley are not easy to mess with.

Walking out of Xu Xiumei's residence, Concubine Lan asked with a smile on her face, "Where did Your Highness go today?"

"Several wealthy businessmen in Yuecheng invited His Highness to watch the play. ”

Zhao Yan came to Nanchu in the name of Zhao State merchants, so he naturally wanted to move around with these rich merchants, but ......, "Among the people who invited him, are there any people from the Ruiyao Sect?"

"The Rui Yao Sect doesn't seem to have a rudder in Yuecheng. One of the maids replied in a low voice, "But the brothers of Sect Master Li and Master Feng Zhuang were very showy before. ”

The maid talked about the natural disasters that had happened to Yuecheng before, and Concubine Lan was surprised when she heard it, "We came all the way, but we didn't feel that we had been affected by natural disasters!"

Several maids laughed, "On the way from the Medicine King Valley, we naturally can't see it, because this one is not harmed! As for the township near Yuecheng, you didn't stop too long, go up there and take a look." ”

Even they don't know if the towns and villages they pass through on the way have been affected, but in Yuecheng, the disaster is certain, but someone is organizing the reconstruction, no matter how heavy the hail disaster is, the earthquake is not as strong as the earthquake, so the recovery is very fast, do the math, it is only two and a half months from the time they enter the city, right?

Thinking of the orderly streets and the laughing crowd when she entered the city, if it weren't for the maids, she wouldn't have seen that Yuecheng had suffered a disaster.

The principals of this Yuecheng are very capable! Well, Sect Master Li and her cousin-in-law are also very capable.

"Alas, it's a pity that there is no Jinyi Fang near our Medicine King Valley, and there is no Tianbao Fang. "There are restaurants and teahouses, but there are no inns and hot spring inns that are quite famous in the Ruiyao Sect, and Concubine Lan is quite disappointed.

Thinking that after meeting with Zhao Yan, he would have to return to Zhao Kingdom, and it would not be easy to come to Nanchu again after that, Concubine Lan couldn't help but pouted and stomped on the spot a few times unhappily.

"You say, do you want to arrange a meeting with Lan Tang and them?"

The maids who followed her at this time were all married from the Lan family, and they knew the master's temperament best, so it was best not to persuade at this time, and follow her wishes.

Anyway, when she encounters difficulties and can't go, she will give up, never embarrass others, nor embarrass herself.

On the contrary, if she is desperately persuaded not to go, she will insist on making the trip, and even if she encounters difficulties, she will try her best to solve them.

Sure enough, Concubine Lan was in a good mood when she heard them attaching herself, and when she went to see Zhao Yan, she was still full of smiles.

Zhao Yan was also very happy to see her come back, after all, her princess had to give birth to children one after another, all because she carefully nursed the princess's body, so even though she didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter for him, her status in his heart was not lower than that of the princess.

"I'm back, are my father-in-law and mother-in-law okay?"

"It's all right, His Highness Xie asked. Concubine Lan smiled and never mentioned Xu Xiumei, only talking about the beautiful scenery on the way to and from her mother's house, as well as some rural stories heard on the way.

Concubine Lan spoke wittily, and quickly dispelled the frustrations that Zhao Yan had suffered in recent days.

When they were settled in the evening, the two of them were newly married, and they were crazy for half a night, until the clouds and rain dissipated, and Zhao Yan fell asleep very tiredly, but Concubine Lan got up from under the clothes next to the bed, took out a small medicine bottle, poured out a small pill, and threw it into her mouth and swallowed it.

After taking a bath in the bathroom, he changed into a half-worn yellow and bra skirt and walked out of the room with his hair scattered.

Immediately, a maid sat in front of the door of the inner room with an embroidered basket to guard, and Concubine Lan went to the palace maid who offended Xu Xiumei, surrounded by several other maids.

When they learned that they were indeed guilty, they let people deal with it, and on the way back, there was a maid to report, Xu Xiumei waited hard for His Royal Highness all night, and later learned that His Royal Highness was placed here in the side concubine, so angry that she scolded.

Looking at Aunt Xu's delicate appearance, it is really unthinkable, as soon as she opens her mouth to scold, she is unbearable. The maid shook her head in disappointment.

Originally, I saw that Aunt Xu was as beautiful as a fairy, and I thought she was a delicate fairy! Who knows, a mouth is smellier than the mouth of a worker doing rough work on the dock.

"Master Xu, they haven't found any clues yet?"

"Nope. The maid said with a little disdain, "Although they found out that His Highness had appeared in the vicinity, they didn't seem to think that Aunt Xu would ask His Highness for help." ”

So they have found out Xu Xiumei's identity, but Xu's family still doesn't know Xu Xiumei's whereabouts.

"The high guards didn't seem to tell His Highness either. ”

"It's easy to deal with women from unknown sources, they are afraid that His Royal Highness's love for Aunt Xu will not last long, after all, there are many women in the house! Concubine Lan didn't care.

Gao Guards, they didn't say it, there should be many considerations, maybe they felt that it was enough for His Highness to have a woman like her who was born in the rivers and lakes who was a side concubine, and there was no need for another Xu Xiumei.

Besides, she was born in the Medicine King Valley, and she was the old daughter of the Lan clan, which was a few points stronger than the head of the Cang faction.

A side concubine, an aunt, and one was carried into the door in a sedan chair by four people, and the other hadn't even entered the palace, hadn't crossed the Ming Road, and hadn't given tea to the princess, so the high guards kept silent about Xu Xiumei's identity, for the sake of dealing with Xu Xiumei in the future!

Concubine Lan snorted coldly, "They must also know that our Aunt Xu has made great achievements when she was at home?"

"That's for sure. The maids replied, and one of them said with some hesitation, "Since Aunt Xu dares to harm even her mother-in-law, aren't the high guards afraid that she will be unfavorable to His Highness?"

"You are stupid! Aunt Xu is now His Royal Highness's woman, and she has not crossed the Ming Road yet, if His Highness has a good one, can she leave it behind? Don't forget, when she was picked up by His Highness, not only was she penniless, I heard that she didn't even have any luggage with her, just a set of clothes and jewelry on her body. ”

When the maids heard this, they all expressed their admiration, I really don't know whether to say that this Aunt Xu is stupid and bold? There are also fools who are brave and unscrupulous, but no matter what kind of thing they are, they are very lucky, because on that mountain road, they met His Highness passing by there, and after being brought back by His Highness, they flew up the branches and became the only favor.

As early as when Concubine Lan returned to Yuecheng, she already understood the bottom of this Aunt Xu, even if she hated her to death, she had to be amazed by her good luck.

You must know that if His Royal Highness was not there at that time, she would have to leave the wings of the Xu family, then she would have to walk a long mountain road, I heard that Xu Xiumei had practiced martial arts, but when Concubine Lan looked at her like that, she knew how much water there was.

Xu Xiumei's flowery appearance and moon appearance, such a single woman with such a appearance, is the first choice in the hearts of traffickers and Qinglou bustards, but she is afraid that if she stays on the road for a while, she will be targeted and taken away.

As a result, not only was she not taken away, but she also flew up the branches, and Concubine Lan gritted her teeth, "It's really cheap for her." ”

Now that Xu Xiumei is Zhao Yan's woman, if she wants to make a move on her, it may cause Zhao Yan's dissatisfaction, what, she has already drugged Xu Xiumei? That is just medicine that is not conducive to her pregnancy, and Xu Xiumei doesn't know, so maybe it has no effect on her!

Compared with what she did to Lan Tang, Concubine Lan felt that it seemed too light to give her this kind of medicine.

"Let's go, go back to sleep!"

The group quickly dispersed, and on the other side, Zhao Yan's guards received a notice that Concubine Lan had gone to see the palace maids who offended Aunt Xu, and also dealt with them, and heard that Aunt Xu insulted her, but it was rare that Concubine Lan did not attack Aunt Xu, but asked everyone to go back to the room to sleep.

"Boss, Lan Niangniang won't want to get any more moths, right?"

The man who was called the leader glared at him angrily, "Even if she wants to get some moths, can we still stop her in advance?"

Naturally, this is not possible.

The concubines brought into the mansion from the Lan family, whether they were maids or servants, all of them had martial arts, and I heard that Doctor Wei of Eastern Qi gave medicine to King Valley! That is to say, all the miraculous pills sold by Doctor Wei were all passed down from the Medicine King Valley.

It's just that Lan Niangniang faced the inquiries of the emperor and the ladies in the palace and the ladies of the court, all of them were the same, I didn't know, I didn't learn to deal with them, so they were so curious, but they couldn't pry out some clues from her mouth, even her maids and servants were the same, one by one, like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and they couldn't speak.

The high guard sat on the side and drank tea, not intervening in the bickering lineup of his comrades, but these good brothers of his did not let him go, and pulled him to ask if there was anything new in escorting Concubine Lan back to her parents' house this time.

After the Gao guards answered in a sloppy manner, they took a bite out of him, told him to shut up, and then talked about the gossip before Yue Cheng.

In fact, what gossip can Yuecheng have? Fourth Young Master Yuan and the only daughter of the head of the Diancang faction spread the good news, but they were slapped in the face, and the head of the Xu family was undecided, so he turned his head to propose marriage to the newlywed Fengzhuang owner, which annoyed the Fengjiazhuang up and down, and the Diancang faction and his in-law were in a predicament.

However, this matter seems to have taken a turn for the better, because Master Xu went to bow his head to the owner of Feng Zhuang, after all, it was related to the new life in his wife's womb, and the iron man of Master Xu had to be soft for his wife.

"I heard that the family of the head of the Xu family is resting in the Feng Mansion today, and it seems that the wife of the owner of the Feng Zhuang has helped Mrs. Xu to recuperate. ”

"The matter of Baoru County Lord's recognition of the son, what is it ...... now?"

"Alas! Speaking of which, the gambling market in the city is now in a tug-of-war, five or five open, brother, do you want to bet?" the person who proposed it spoke, and was immediately complained by the others.

"Lao Gao, you can go to that casino with Xiao Wang to place bets, but you must not listen to him, otherwise I am afraid that you will lose all your money. ”

"Yes, listen to the brothers, yes, this little Wang is very bad luck this year, this hand is black! He still has the face to pull people to bet with him. ”

Gao Wei listened to the suggestion that he had no nutrition at all, and finally ended up by lending Xiao Wang ten taels of silver to place a bet.

Looking at Xiao Wang's departing figure, he turned his head and asked everyone, "......Is there anything wrong with him?"

"Don't think about it, I'm afraid you won't be able to change it in this life, so you will be soft-hearted and lend him ten taels. ”

"Back then, he pulled my brother and me, and he couldn't be ungrateful. Ten taels of silver is fine, not too much, and I don't have anything to borrow more. ”

Everyone nodded, and that's it.

Only then did the head of the guard sigh and say, "This person is most afraid of getting involved in gambling, once he gets involved, it is really not easy to quit." All of you listen to me, be vigilant, don't fall into it like Xiao Wang, and look at him, don't let him ruin His Highness's reputation. ”

Everyone agreed in unison.

Xiao Wang himself owes gambling debts and is collected by the people in the casino, he doesn't care, but if Xiao Wang is forced to be anxious, in the name of the palace guard, if it is publicized, or he uses the power of the palace to take people's money and ruin His Highness's reputation, it will not work.

Xiao Wang didn't know that he had been targeted by the leader and his comrades, and ran briskly to the back door, at the back door, many people gathered here, they were raising gambling funds, and when they saw Xiao Wang coming, one of the mothers-in-law smiled at him, "Xiao Wang is here! Didn't you say that the places that could be borrowed before have been borrowed, why, there is still money to gamble?"

"Mrs. Liu, you can't help but be too lenient!" Xiao Wang seemed to complain, but in fact leaned over closely, Mrs. Liu smiled and took out the notebook and wrote down the gambling money he handed over.

"Which one are you going to bet on?"

"It's still the county lord of Baoru and Fourth Young Master Yuan, and the Fourth Young Master Yuan. ”

"Do you think he's going to win?"

"Don't they all say that parents will always be unable to resist their children? I think the county lord of Baoru should not be able to resist his son. ”

"Alas, don't you think this Fourth Young Master Yuan is very stupid? Think about it, after recognizing his mother, this title is in hand, and the glory and wealth are at your fingertips!"

"He grew up in the Yuan family, and he is used to being wild, how can he stand the many rules of the princes and nobles. ”

"Not really. ”

Mrs. Liu didn't care what they said, she was busy with her own business, and when everyone finished placing bets, let everyone look at the account book, confirm that the signatures were correct, and then leave the house.
