In the twenty-ninth year of Zhenwu in Daqing, on March 19, Emperor Zhenwu died, and the edict was passed on to Zhaoling, the second son of the emperor. The king www.biquge.info of Qi rushed back to the capital on March 21 on March 21, and was mournful in his heart because he failed to send the emperor on his last journey, and he was even more guilty, and cried loudly in front of the spirit.

The ministers thanked the King of Qi for his benevolence and filial piety, and respectfully asked him to succeed to the throne in front of the coffin, only to complete the national funeral, keep the national filial piety, and then choose an auspicious day by the Ministry of Rites to carry out the enthronement ceremony.

Since the end of the first year, Daqing has experienced a snow disaster, then a war, and then a national funeral.

The new emperor did not dispose of King An and the Jia family for the time being, and only imprisoned all the men in the Dali Temple prison, while the family members were confined in the palace and only disposed of after ascending the throne.

As for the things that Jingbei Hou once planned, the Queen Mother, no! Although it has not yet been officially canonized, it is time to be honored as the empress dowager. The Empress Dowager may have her considerations, but she didn't leak the slightest rumor, but ordered the new emperor to reuse the Marquis of Jingbei as always.

It's a pity that since the day Emperor Zhenwu went, after returning from the palace, the Marquis of Jingbei couldn't afford to be ill, and everything was handed over to the prince. And Geng Xiwu was originally the confidant of the new emperor, but now the new emperor is worthy of succeeding to the throne, and everything everywhere depends on him. So, these days, he goes out early and returns late, Lan Xi is careful, carefully observes for a few days, and sees that everything is really as usual, so he is a little relieved.

On that day, Emperor Zhenwu died, and the grievances and grievances of the previous generation were settled. Even so, Lan Xi has always been apprehensive in his heart. After all, the Marquis of Jingbei once had the idea of coveting the throne, and if the new emperor investigates it, I don't know what will happen!

But for a few days in a row, Geng Xiwu went in and out of the palace, often accompanied by the new emperor on both sides, both of which were calm, although Lanxi was a little at ease, but he still couldn't completely let go of his heart. It wasn't until Geng Xiwu saw the clue and reassured her that she could now sit peacefully on the couch and drink the fetal pills.

The panic of those days, even if Lan Xi was still calm, was inevitably affected. Then, the most important thing is that Geng Xiwu was also a little uneasy, so he specially invited Yu Nanxing to come over to check her pulse, and then prescribed a fetal pill. specially instructed Qin's mother to boil it for her to drink, but Lanxi also cooperated this time and drank it obediently.

Lan Xi is getting older now, her belly is bulging, and her movement is gradually becoming a little inconvenient. But she still insisted on letting Mother Qin and them help her take a walk in the garden every day. Every day, I eat when I should eat, drink when I should drink, and the days are calm like water, but there is not much joy.

First, because during the national mourning, joy is easy to be criticized, even if your family has a big happy event, at this time, it is not happy. Second, because the Jingbei Hou Mansion itself is gloomy and bleak, there is really no joy at all.

After the Marquis of Jingbei came back from the palace, he couldn't afford to be sick. After seeing many doctors and taking medicine, it seems that there is no improvement. Although they don't know the ins and outs of things, it is difficult for some of these subordinates who serve in the homes of big families to be really stupid, and they are all keenly aware of something, and they are all a little apprehensive in their hearts, and they will inevitably bring out some in their daily actions. And emotions are contagious, gradually, the Hou Mansion became a little solemn and uneasy, and the people became more and more cautious day by day. Even the main house of Qingpingju, which used to have laughter and laughter, has become quieter recently.

With such an abnormal atmosphere, Lan Xi naturally couldn't feel it, but she couldn't help it. In fact, she is also waiting. After returning from the palace, the day Marquis Jingbei fell ill, or even earlier, when she knew about the poison called "Yan Ghost", and when she knew that Yue Qingwu was so cruel to herself, she was waiting, waiting for a result.

She guessed this result, and Geng Xiwu also guessed it. They feel uncomfortable, but they have to accept it. Even Old Madam Geng was afraid that she had guessed it. At first, when she just came back from the palace, Mrs. Geng ran here twice a day, and every time she had to talk to Jingbei Hou for a long time, and in the end, she came out with red circles. On the second day, he came again.

Day by day, cycle after cycle.

Finally one day, Mrs. Geng was helped out, and she almost lost the strength to support herself. He glanced at the direction of Jingbei Hou's study very complicatedly, sighed "wronged", and tears rolled down his eyes. Then, she turned her head, was supported by Fang's mother, and staggered away. Since that day, I haven't been there.

Lan Xi understood that Old Madam Geng might have given up. After all, if Geng Xiwu has anything most like Jingbei Hou, I'm afraid it's that stubborn temperament.

And this temperament, Lan Xi has already been taught.

Some words, although they were not spoken, but as most people in this mansion passed on in private, Lanxi probably knew that Jingbei Hou's illness would never get better.

Sure enough, in the afternoon of this day, Lan Xi, as usual, leaned on the couch while flipping through the books, while watching Fangcao and the others doing needlework, these girls are learning to make small clothes under the guidance of Qin's mother these days. is already a good female celebrity, and her hands and feet are fast, this is only a few days' work, and the child has not yet been born, but Lan Xi has already laughed and said that the little clothes can be worn until the age of two.

In the past few days, I have started to make belly pockets, swaddling clothes and the like, in short, it seems that I am not tired. Lan Xi said it once, but when she saw that it was useless, she didn't say anything with a smile, but secretly sighed with Geng Xiwu, she was really relaxed and happy, and Mother Qin finished her heart.

At that time, Geng Xiwu held her in his arms, caressed her round belly with one hand, and said that she should worry less. praised Qin's mother again, and the matter was revealed.

But I didn't want to, on the second day, Qin's mother came to Lanxi with a panicked face. As soon as Lan Xi asked, he learned that Geng Xiwu had rewarded Qin's mother with a set of houses, which was in Chaoyangfang, where Lan's house was located, and the courtyard of the two entrances was worth a lot of money.

Mother Qin felt that she was useless, so she was naturally shocked and afraid.

Lan Xi was stunned for a while, but she smiled and asked Qin's mother to accept it.

Qin's mother refused at first, but it was Lan Xihu who lowered her face, so she reluctantly accepted it, but since then, things have become more and more elaborate and intimate, not to mention.

Mother Qin has always been very calm, but when she came in today, she was in a hurry and her expression was tense. Such a look, Lan Xi had still seen it when the smoke and the long wind had an accident that night.

When Lan Xi saw it, he felt a little uneasy at the moment, "What's wrong?" ”

"Gui Jiu, who was waiting beside the Hou Ye, hurriedly left the house to invite Doctor Yu. The old slave was a little worried, and quietly went over to see, and the Yan'er girl whispered to the old slave that it was Mrs. Yue, who had just vomited a mouthful of blood, and the person had passed out. ”
