In the middle of the night, it was the palace maid Jade who came to deliver the letter.

Seeing the jade, Gu Wanning's heart sank slightly. If nothing happens, Jade will never come in the middle of the night. The grandson went to the palace on this trip, what happened?

Before Jade saluted, Gu Guanning said, "False etiquette can be waived." Whatever you have to report, tell me immediately. ”

Jade didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately whispered: "The slave maid received news from the palace. Today, the father and son of the king of Qi were summoned into the palace together, and the emperor angrily accused the prince of Qi for plotting to kill His Royal Highness the prince, and the prince of Qi was angry and moved against His Royal Highness the prince......"

Gu Guanning took a breath.

"Fortunately, Father-in-law Qian acted in time to save His Highness. Jade quickly continued: "Your Royal Highness has no worries about life, but I was slightly injured, and I was left in the palace by the emperor to rest tonight, so I won't go home." ”

"His Royal Highness was afraid that the princess would be worried, so he specially ordered someone to come back to deliver the letter first. Please relax your child. ”

Relax?

How can it be!

He was left in the palace, and he didn't know how many injuries he suffered......

Gu Wanning pursed the corners of his lips, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Did Your Highness say when you will return home?"

Jade replied respectfully: "This slave doesn't know. I want to come to His Highness to heal his injuries and come back soon. Please also ask the princess to raise the fetus with peace of mind. Don't tell the crown princess about this for the time being. ”

Gu Wanning took a deep breath: "I know, you step back first!"

Jade replied and withdrew.

Linlang looked at Gu Wanning's uneasy face, and said softly: "Your Highness acts in her own way, Miss doesn't need to worry too much." Or focus on the child in the womb. ”

Pregnant women should not be overly emotional. She was only in a trance for a moment, and her stomach was faintly churning and uncomfortable.

Gu Wanning forced himself to calm down: "You're right. I'll go to bed first, wait for him to come back, and then ask for clarification. ”

……

It's easier said than done.

Gu Wanning lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time, but he couldn't sleep.

No matter how sleepy Linlang was, she couldn't sleep, and said with a smile: "Since Miss can't sleep, the slave will talk to Miss!"

Gu Wanning smiled a little apologetically: "I can't sleep, but I'm so tired that you can't sleep." ”

Linlang smiled briskly: "It's rare to have the opportunity to talk to Miss like this, it's too late for the slave to be happy." ”

Gu Wanning leaned sideways, and his eyes fell on Linlang's beautiful face: "Linlang, you and Mu Tao have been married for more than half a year. Is he okay with you?"

Linlangqiao's face flushed slightly: "Miss also knows Mu Tao's temperament." He's like a lump of wood and won't say anything good and obedient. The slave and the maid were on their own errands with him during the day, and sometimes he did not come back at night, and when they were together, he was very good to the slave and the maid. He listened to whatever the slave said. ”

"If only he would listen to you. "Talking in the middle of the night, there is no need to worry about any rules between master and servant. Gu Guanning smiled casually: "A man is willing to treat you like this, obviously he really cares about you." ”

Linlang pursed her lips and smiled, and boldly quipped: "Mu Tao has been with His Highness for a long time, so he naturally learned a little. ”

When it comes to hurting a daughter-in-law, who can compare to His Royal Highness the Grand Sun!

Gu Wanning smiled dumbly: "I see that after you got married, you are much bolder than before." Even the master dared to make fun of it. ”

Linlang adjusted her posture to make Gu Wanning more comfortable: "Miss, staying up late like this, will your stomach feel uncomfortable?"

"Not really. Gu Wanning said with a smile: "This fetus is indeed very smooth. These days, I don't react except for the occasional gastrointestinal upset. It seems that he is indeed a well-behaved and obedient child. ”

Linlang whispered and laughed: "Miss thinks this baby is male or female?"

As a mother-in-law, there will always be some intuition.

Gu Guanning said softly: "I think it will be my son." ”

"Could it be twins again?" Linlang's eyes lit up: "If one child gives birth to two sons, Miss will have three sons and one daughter." In the future, no matter when you encounter it, you will be able to straighten your back. ”

That's how the world is. No matter how good and outstanding a woman is, it is not as important as inheriting her offspring. gave birth to a son, and he was confident. The more sons you have, the more confidence you have.

Gu Guanning smiled faintly: "The first child is a twin, which is already lucky." I only hope that this baby will be safe and smooth. ”

After gossiping for a long time, Gu Wanning felt sleepy and fell asleep slowly.

……

The next day, the grandson did not return.

There was no news from the palace either.

In the hidden prison where the Zongren Mansion has been empty, there is one more person.

All the royal clansmen, including the descendants of the Heavenly Family, if they make a mistake, they will be imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for interrogation and conviction.

Compared with the Heavenly Prison of the Criminal Department, the environment in the Zongren Mansion is much better. After all, those who are locked up are all descendants of the Xiao family. The people who serve in the Zongren Mansion are also palace maids.

On that day, the county lord of Gaoyang made a mistake and was sent to the Zongren Mansion, where he lived in the best room in the Zongren Mansion, with people around him to serve him, and he had good food and clothing, but he couldn't come out and walk around.

In the Zongren Mansion, in addition to such a residence, of course, there are also real prison cells. Guilty of a felony is punished and put in a prison cell. If you commit a heinous crime, you will be imprisoned in heaven.

The dungeon is built underneath the cell, underground. It is not ventilated all year round, the light is dim, and there is no one except for three meals a day.

All these years, the prison has been empty.

Before dawn, King Rong'an came to the Zongren Mansion and ordered someone to quietly open the prison and carry people in.

All this was done quietly, and even the palace maids who served in the Zongren's Mansion didn't know about it. Only a few people know about this.

The person in charge of guarding the prison was an attendant surnamed Wang. The chamberlain is over fifty years old, his waist is slightly bent, his eyes are narrowed into a line, and he walks quite steadily, but he can't hear the slightest footsteps.

Those who practice martial arts can see at a glance that this unremarkable internal servant is extremely skilled.

The prince quietly walked to the prison and unlocked it.

This prison is about five meters square, and the place is quite spacious. A table, a chair and a bed were placed. A candlestick was placed on the table. There were no windows in the prison, and the ventilation was poor, and it was a bit stuffy. The candle flame is also thin and jumping, as if it will be extinguished at any moment.

A young man in a fine costume was lying on the bed, his handsome face as pale as paper. The blood on his wrists had dried up, and the clothes were mottled with blood, and the thick smell of blood was disgusting.

This young man, who was once the pride of the sky, has now fallen into the dust and mud, and there is no day to turn over.

The prince walked unhurriedly to the table and put the wooden lunch box in his hand.

There was a soft crack.

The young man, who had been asleep, finally opened his eyes. Before he could see everything around him, he rolled over and sat up. This movement hit the wound on the right wrist, and a sharp pain hit unceremoniously.
