Chapter 329: Midnight

Lan Xue gritted her teeth and refused to tell her true origin and purpose, just admitting that she was ambitious and wanted to climb up, hoping to rely on her son Zhao Qi to gain wealth and power. All the calculations for Xiao Wang and Ma Meiniang are for this purpose. Can Zhao Shuo cooperate happily with the Wang family and smoothly ascend to the throne? She doesn't have this concept, anyway, Zhao Shuo is so capable, even if he doesn't have the support of the Wang family, he will be successful, and whether the little Wang family can give birth to a son-in-law is no different at all.

Lan Xue's justifications naturally had the intention of currying favor with Zhao Shuo. Zhao Shuo was not like before, listening to her pat her on the back, he easily believed her words. Zhao Shuo still felt that she was very suspicious, if Lan Xue was just a girl who had the heart to climb up, how could her scheming methods even hide from him? Could it be that he would not be able to see the subordinates and concubines around him clearly? They were able to deceive him for so many years, of course, because they had a more mysterious and powerful messenger behind them!

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Lan Xue's words are true, they are too embarrassing. He put so much effort into saving the position, but he let a selfish girl destroy it?! It is better to let him know that he was calculated by a competitor, so that he would end up in such an embarrassing situation!

Lan Xue didn't look in the mirror for a long time, and she didn't know what she was to describe now, she still posed in the shape of the white lotus that had tried all things in the past, and tearfully begged Zhao Shuo to look at the past feelings, for the sake of her son, to forgive her once, she would never dare to come nonsense again, and she was willing to make amends to the little Wang family and the new sister Aunt Ma, Yunyun......

Zhao Shuo had just decided to reconcile with Xiao Wang's family, and he was bent on isolating a femme fatale like Lan Xue from Ma Meiniang, who had just become pregnant, how could he allow Lan Xue to make amends to them? He glanced at Lan Xue in disgust: "That's it, I don't have to ask you to take advantage of the loophole and harm people again!" After that, his expression changed, "You better not lie in front of me! If you let me know that you are still lying to me...... Don't blame me for ignoring the past and missing my son! Brother Qi is already older, and he doesn't need a nurse or a mother to wait. If you're not honest, instead of asking you to raise him crookedly, I'd better hand him over to someone more reliable to feed him!"

Lan Xue's expression changed drastically. If she can't raise her son by her side in person, then how can she make Zhao Qi obedient in the future? ! Brother Qi is still young, how can he leave his mother? He has always been well-behaved and filial. He is your own flesh and blood, and you have always loved him very much, how can you be willing to let him be separated from his mother?"

"What am I reluctant to do?!" Zhao Shuo sneered, "With a mother like you, he might as well have no mother!"

He was condescending and glanced at Lan Xue coldly, as if he was looking at something dirty: "Since you know that you are wrong now, stay here honestly to recuperate and don't go out!" I will order you to go down and let the steward choose another person to serve you." In the future, if my men and I want to interrogate you again, you have to give me an honest answer, don't think you can easily fool you!"

He turned his head to look in the direction of the door, Zhao Mo found Zhao Qi out of nowhere and took him out of the door. Zhao Shuo frowned again before continuing: "Brother Qi, I will temporarily hand it over to Aunt Ma to take care of, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Lan Xue was shocked: "Ma Mei Niang, how can the prince hand over Brother Qi to her?

Zhao Shuo glanced at her contemptuously: "Nonsense, Mei Niang is a hundred times more sensible than you! You are a femme fatale, so you think that there are no good people in the world?

He threw up his sleeves and walked away, ignoring Lan Xue's loud call. When he went out, he only glanced at his two sons, and he didn't look at Zhao Qi more, as if he had forgotten how much he loved this little son before, and only ordered Zhen Zhong: "Move the things of the third young master to Aunt Ma." ”

Zhen Zhong showed a little shock, but quickly responded.

Zhao Shuo didn't look at Zhao Qi again, and said to Zhao Mo: "I've been busy lately, I'm afraid I don't have time to teach Xiao San'er to read." When you have time, take him to your house for a few days. ”

Zhao Mo looked down at Zhao Qi, who just stood there obediently, staring at the ground not far in front of him, and didn't say a word.

In just a few hours, Zhao Qi's treatment in front of his father Zhao Shuo seemed to have plummeted. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that he was affected by his biological mother Lan Xue. Although Zhao Shuo may not know that the child is innocent, when he thinks that Lan Xue only has the courage to calculate others because of this son, and destroys his plans one after another, Zhao Shuo can't love his youngest son in his heart. He didn't show Zhao Qi's face, but his attitude was a little colder, and he turned a blind eye to it, which was already based on the father-son friendship in the past.

Whether Zhao Qi's children's family noticed this change and what they thought about it, Zhao Mo didn't know. He just thought it was a bit ironic, and his father seemed to be the same to him back then. Obviously, before his mother's death, he was a loving father and loved him very much. But in a blink of an eye, his father became a man he didn't know, and he was as affectionate as if there was no blood relationship between father and son. Zhao Mo once thought that this was the treatment that only he would receive, but he never expected that there would be other brothers who would suffer the same situation. He hindered the future of his father and the unborn son of his stepfamily because of his status as the eldest son, so what about Zhao Qi?

Zhao Mo smiled mockingly, and agreed on his lips. But he didn't really mean to take Zhao Qi to his house to play, and let Ma Meiniang worry about it. His own home is not interested in letting his father and Lan Xue's son set foot in it.

Zhao Qi was sent to Ma Meiniang's yard. Ma Meiniang entered the house as a concubine, not to compete for favor, she is also relatively smart, and now she is pregnant. She didn't have a different heart because of this, and did something to Zhao Qi, just did her duty and took care of Zhao Qi's diet and daily life. Her approach was not very attentive and considerate, but she did not deliberately snub and torture, she just arranged it according to the old routine of the past, neither intended to pretend to be virtuous in front of Zhao Shuo, nor did she show any impatience or mean expression. Zhao Qi got along well with her, and Zhao Shuo took pity on her and praised her, praising her for being much more realistic than Lan Xue, and much more kind and decent.

Ma Meiniang smiled and was noncommittal about this. What does she have to be jealous of? Zhao Qi's future in this life is burdened by his biological mother, and she can already see her head, and she is not a bear child who does not know the height of the sky, treat him well, not only can she show that she is virtuous, but everyone can save trouble and worry, why not do it? Now that she is pregnant and is about to raise a baby, where can she have time to think about those who have or don't?

However, seeing that Zhao Qi and Ma Meiniang got along well, Lan Xue's mood was not so good. Although she was grounded, the new maidens who had come to wait were not so much to take care of her as to spy on her. She now has no privacy and personal freedom, and her henchmen around her are scattered, and she doesn't even have a reliable helper. Her injuries are not healed yet, and she feels difficult to get out of bed and move around, and she wants to go out and walk around on her own, which is even more of a fool's dream! She has nowhere to inquire about the situation of Zhen'er's mother and daughter and Zhu'er, and she can't contact her own people outside the house, and even the news from her son's side was sent by Ma Meiniang to tell her. She had the heart to win back her son's heart, but she couldn't do it. She is worried that if she continues like this, her son will be snatched away by Ma Meiniang!

What should she do?!

Just when Lan Xue was anxious, Zhao Shuo didn't know whether he had listened to anyone's persuasion or been kind, and finally remembered to hire a more reliable doctor for her to treat the remaining wounds on her body.

Her injuries were not seriously seen by the imperial doctor or doctor, but Steward Zhen sent a mother-in-law who knew some medical skills to bandage her briefly and put some golden medicine. But she felt that the medicine was not very effective, a few days later, she still had a terrible pain in her body, could it be that she was poked by Xiao Wang's golden hairpin that day?

As soon as the doctor entered the door, Lan Xue was surprised and delighted.

She was trying to find a way to contact her own person, but she didn't expect the other party to contact her!

It's a pity that there are outsiders in the house, and it is inconvenient for them to speak, Lan Xue lowered her eyes, thinking about how to get along with the "doctor" alone and talk for a while.

She never found the opportunity.

However, although the "doctor" finished checking her pulse and quietly withdrew, Lan Xue still found that her palm was stuffed into a small note, and there was a small paper bag. She quietly withdrew her wrist, took advantage of the unpreparedness, looked down at the note quickly, and found that it was written for an hour, and then pinched the paper bag, and counted the contents in her heart.

In the middle of the night, Lan Xue groped her way up, propped up the bed frame, climbed out of bed with difficulty, half-bent her body, endured the pain, and walked lightly to the window. There is an upwind outlet, and there is an incense burner on the side, and in order to hide the medicinal fragrance in the house, the incense burner is lit at night. Lan Xue carefully took out the small paper bag that the doctor had quietly stuffed into her underwear, poured the medicinal powder into the furnace, and then forcibly endured the pain and quickly returned to the bed.

Two quarters of an hour later, the snoring of two girls in charge of the vigil was heard outside.

Lan Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared out the window, keeping an eye out for someone coming.

Before the arrival of the fourth watch, a dark shadow flashed outside the window, and Lan Xue happily propped up her body. She finally waited for her own people.

However, when she raised her smiling face and greeted the other party with anticipation, the other party responded to her with a heavy slap in the face. The slap was so hard that it didn't sound very loud in the middle of the night, but it hit her in the face hard, knocking her to the side, and she lay on the bed in a daze. The wound that had only been changed during the day ruptured open again, and the blood on her face was smeared.

Lan Xue was stunned. She looked back blankly at Shang Feng's gloomy face, and her face was blank.
