Chapter 85 Procrastination

It is not a trivial matter to be robbed of grain and grass, and it can be a demotion at least and even a life cannot be guaranteed. But how could there be such a mistake in this escort, which was supposed to be very safe? Who robbed the grain and grass, and what did he do? Countless questions swirled back and forth in Zhong Su's mind, making him frown - this time, the grain and grass escorted away were all in Beixin, and they were very low-key. If you want to be robbed, you must be carefully prepared, and it will take a long time. In other words, someone must have spread the news in advance, so that people are well prepared, otherwise, it will be difficult to succeed if everything that was conceived yesterday is very difficult, and there is generally no such courage.

"Is the loss strict?" Zhong asked.

Xiao Wu nodded, "I heard that most of them were robbed, and what is even worse is the ones that can't be snatched away, the other party also set a fire, and it's not sure how much it burned, and the secret guard continues to follow." ”

"What about the Six Princes? Hurt? Zhong Su asked again.

"The Six Princes are fine. However, the people you sent to protect the Six Princes have lost a lot. Xiao Wu replied. The mission of those people is to protect the people whose masters ask them to protect, but it is just folded, and no one has a taste in their hearts.

Zhong Su clenched his fists and said to Ran Ning, "I'll go to my grandfather's." It's not that he can't handle this kind of thing, but he always has to discuss it with his family.

"Okay." Ran Ning also knew that things were strict, but they couldn't save the fire from far water, so they could only work on other aspects.

Not long after Zhong Su left, Bizhu came to report that the Li family wanted to see Ran Ning.

Ran Ning was silent for a while, then got up and said, "Then let's go and have a look." "Actually, she and Li don't have anything to say, but since everyone is leaving, it doesn't hurt to see each other.

Zhiqiu Courtyard is deserted, Li's personal maid has been disposed of, and there are not many people in the courtyard who are waiting, anyway, the Li family only brought people from the Li family to Zhuangzi, and those who originally belonged to the Hou Mansion still stayed in the Hou Mansion.

Li's things have been packed in several large boxes, these are to be taken away, and the Hou Mansion did not treat her harshly, allowing her to take away everything she likes and can use in Zhiqiu Courtyard.

Pushing the door into the house, Li sat on the bed, this series of events seemed to make her several years older, covered with a thick quilt, and the person was much thinner, looking a little lonely. The house was a lot empty, because of Zhong Jin's death, the colorful cloth curtains in the room were replaced with white, and it looked even more deserted.

Ran Ning walked to the side of the bed, Li Shi looked at her, and said, "Are you very happy to see me so down?" ”

Ran Ning didn't speak, whether it was the Li family's downfall or the scenery, there was actually no ripple in Ran Ning's heart, because she didn't care at all.

Li Shi smiled and said, "People like you may never know what unfairness is. And I, since I was born, have lived in injustice. I was born just to marry my family, and when I get married, my life or death has nothing to do with them. Married to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, it seems to be beautiful, but my mother doesn't like me, and my husband is also indifferent to me, often thinking that I am uneducated, and I don't speculate. Do you know what loneliness is? I feel that I myself am inferior to the ants that live underground, and I must go to great lengths to please everyone in order to get them to give them something that is insignificant to them. But...... Even so, I didn't ask for what I wanted. ”

Ran Ning still didn't speak, just sat on the edge of the bed. In fact, whether it is life or fate, it is unfair to everyone, and it is also fair, because its fairness lies in its unfairness. Is her growing up in a better environment than Lee's? In fact, this is not the case, and everyone's standards for measuring these are different, and they are all just in people's hearts. How to do and how to think is often the key to fate and life turns.

"After I became pregnant, I originally thought that the Hou Mansion should revolve around me, but in fact it was no different from before. It's also a granddaughter-in-law, you hold the power of the housekeeper, and what about me? It is nice to say that there is no shortage of food and clothing, but it is just that he eats more than usual. Li hooked the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, "I framed you and pushed me, just thinking that if you make a mistake, the attention of the house should always be turned to me, right?" But who knows, you will beat me instead. ”

"I'm just taking what I deserve." Ran Ning said lightly. All the qiē she has now is not something she snatched, many of them are just gains that she got by chance in addition to self-preservation, just like the right to be a steward......

"Deserved? What do you deserve, not me? Li's smile narrowed, "If it weren't for you, this qiē would be mine!" ”

Ran Ning feels that sometimes people's thoughts seem to be very strange, or extreme, always thinking that as long as others don't get it, they will get it, and it is this kind of thinking that makes people become selfish, paranoid, and even make many irreparable and unforgivable wrong decisions.

"How much do you know about the eldest brother framing Xianggong?" Ran Ning didn't follow Li's radical thoughts, but directly picked the key points.

"I don't know anything!" Li immediately replied.

Ran Ning looked at her, as if she wanted to see from her eyes that what she said was true or false.

Li didn't look at her directly, just remained silent.

Ran Ning opened his mouth and said: "You have been married to the eldest brother for many years, I believe you will not fail to see any changes in the eldest brother." Originally, if you and your eldest brother were more peaceful, it would not be difficult to live a carefree life in the future. But you want to fight for what doesn't belong to you, and in the end you have nothing, so why bother? ”

Li gritted his teeth, glared at Ran Ning angrily, and said, "Zhong Su is not qualified to succeed to the throne at all, he is a Shura who kills people without blinking!" ”

Ran Ning chuckled, stood up, looked at the Li family condescendingly, and said, "The Hou Mansion only needs one heir, no matter what, this person must be Zhong Su." Even if it wasn't, I'd make him be! ”

Ran Ning's words and tone were like an invisible hand, firmly choking Li's neck, so that she couldn't say a word, and she even suspected that Ran Ning would personally kill the people who stood in her way for Zhong Su's throne.

Ran Ning didn't want to say much, turned around and walked out and said: "Zhuangzi is not as good as the house, you can do it yourself." The words fell, and she stepped out of the door.

- Women like Li are actually not uncommon, and everyone will have dissatisfaction and sadness, but as long as it doesn't get in her way, she won't care, but if it gets in the way, don't tell her anything about it. Her grandfather once said that sympathizing with a dangerous person is no different from holding a dagger to one's own chest.

As soon as Ran Ning returned to the courtyard, Xiao Wu came to invite him to Zhenbei Hou's place, and Ran Ning didn't dare to delay, so he went directly.

In the study, in addition to Zhenbei Hou and Zhong Su, General Zhong was also there, and after Ran Ning greeted the elders, he sat down next to Zhong Su.

Zhenbei Hou didn't waste time, and asked directly: "You also know about the grain and grass, tell me, what do you think?" ”

They had to prepare before the news reached the palace.

As soon as Ran Ning wanted to say that he didn't dare to discuss politics, Zhenbei Hou continued: "It's all your own family, I know you have an idea, let's talk about it." ”

Ran Ning looked at Zhong Su, Zhong Su nodded at her, and also wanted to hear what she meant.

Ran Ning thought for a moment and said: "If the news reaches the palace, the emperor will definitely be furious, facing this anger, I am afraid that the six princes and General Fengguo will not end well, and more importantly, in the investigation, we may not be able to take the initiative, and we will not have so much time." ”

"And what do you mean?" General Zhong asked. What Ran Ning said was right, and it was precisely because of this that they couldn't discuss it for a long time.

Ran Ning looked down at the teacup in her hand and said softly, "It's a human being, and you always have to get sick." If you are sick, you have to rest, and if you don't have the master, we will have more time. ”

When Zhenbei Hou and General Zhong heard this, their eyes lit up. Although this is actually a big disrespect, Ran Ning didn't name her, and no one could say anything about her. And, more importantly, the idea works for them.

"I'll go find Uncle Shi." Zhong Su stood up and said. His master may not be able to do this, but his master must have a way.

Ran Ning also stood up and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that this matter will still trouble the virtuous concubine, it's better to tell her about the matter of the six princes in advance." ”

"Ning'er is right." The Marquis of Zhenbei nodded with a smile and said to General Zhong: "Let the Tan family enter the palace to see the virtuous concubine, she also worried a lot about Su'er's affairs, and now that Su'er is fine, let the Tan family talk to her, she can rest assured." ”

"Yes, son, I'll go back and tell Madame." General Zhong said.

After that, no one said anything more, and went their separate ways.

For such a big thing as the robbery of grain and grass, whether it is for the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, or for the Six Princes and General Fengguo, the most beneficial way is one word - drag!

They all need to find out about this matter, and they must find out by themselves, and if possible, they can take back the grain and grass, which can be regarded as making up for the merits and can be exempted from punishment. If you don't delay, Long Yan will be furious, and if you can't get it right, you will be killed directly, and then you will return your innocence, what's the use?

Ran Ning's mention is not only for the six princes, but also for the general Fengguo. With General Fengguo's friendship with her grandfather, she has to protect it. After all, General Fengguo is willing to take the six princes because of this relationship. If General Fengguo has something, how can she be worthy of her grandfather? In the future, under Jiuquan, I will not have the face to see it.

There are not many others in Shen Feng's place, and there is absolutely no shortage of this medicine. As soon as Zhong Su said this, Shen Feng threw the bottle of medicine to him, briefly explained the usage, and turned to leave. This pill is snow-white all over, with a faint floral fragrance, and it smells very much like something for a woman's beauty, and no one would have thought that it is actually something that causes symptoms of wind and cold.

Zhong Su didn't come over empty-handed, before he went out, Ran Ning asked people to pack some bird's nest and tea for him to bring over, in addition to the bird's nest that would definitely be given to Chu Yan every month, Shen Feng's share was also added. Zunchen didn't eat this, so Ran Ning prepared some good tea for him, and by the way, he filled Shen Feng's share of bird's nest that was supposed to honor Zunchen, which is estimated to be eaten three or four times a day to eat it within a month.

"Ran Ning is thoughtful." Zunchen looked at these things and nodded.

"Well, I haven't bothered with these things since she came in." Zhong Su replied.

"I won't go to the Hou Mansion during this time, you can send someone to me if you have something."

"Master has something to do?" Zhong asked. Although his master does not live in the Hou Mansion permanently, he will often visit him.

"After your master came over, Chu Yan's internal strength made rapid progress. Now it's time to advance, and your uncle has to watch him. I want to stay in the house to guard your uncle, and if Chu Yan is in danger, I can help. Zunchen said.

"Okay, I got it." Zhong Su nodded.

Practicing martial arts is like this, especially internal strength, when practicing to a certain stage, there will be bottlenecks. This is often referred to as advancement, if you break through this bottleneck, your internal strength will go to the next level, and you can also further learn a deeper level of internal strength. This is a stage that everyone who practices martial arts will go through, and if they don't get it right, they will go crazy, so they can't be sloppy at all.

After sitting with Zunchen for a while, Zhong Su went back first, he still had a lot of things to do, and the sooner the better.

After the Tan family entered the palace, they talked to Concubine Xian about the grain and grass. Although Concubine Xian is a harem woman, she also knows that the matter is important. And compared with the emperor, she naturally cares more about her son. decided to let the emperor fall ill and wait for her mother's family to find out the matter and make sure that her son was safe.

That night, the emperor had dinner at Concubine Xian's place, and Concubine Xian put the medicine in the porridge. Although this medicine smells a little fragrant, it doesn't have any taste after the flowers bloom, just a little light white, and it can't be seen in the porridge with various ingredients.

After finishing the meal, the emperor went back to the imperial study and rested at Concubine Jiang's place at night.

Early the next morning, Concubine Jiang's palace was in chaos, and it was vaguely heard that the emperor was sick, so people hurriedly invited the imperial doctor......
