Lord Arashi likes to be alone.

Since the winter of that year, the eldest brother ran to ask Cheng Wei because he was rejected from marriage, she was worried that the eldest brother hurriedly chased him out, but she panicked and bumped into a person, and the person crashed into her heart.

That person she actually knew before, it was Xie Zhe, the eldest son of Xie Mansion, and she could barely call her cousin.

Maybe it was the cold and snowy day, everything was just right, in short, the person who didn't make her think too much before, but when she held her that day, it made her heart pound.

It's a pity that since the Weiguo Mansion broke off the relationship with her mother, she has no reason to go to the Guogong Mansion, let alone a chance to meet that person in the open.

Time flies, and Lord Lan has reached the age of getting married in a hurry, but because of the lingering figure in her heart, she is afraid to marry anyone.

What if those people are not as good as him?

What if she can't like any of those people?

What if-

In fact, all the reasons are just that she just wants to marry that person. Lord Lan knew it very well, and after King Jing's son repeatedly failed to marry his daughter and forced her to ask her, the father also knew.

The sky in the capital is getting hotter, and every time at this time, Lord Lan can't lift her spirits, but today she is abnormal, and her heart has been up and down since early in the morning, excited and nervous.

She urged the maid to ask over and over again, and when the maid said that the person had finally arrived, she could no longer be reserved, ran to the living room with her skirt, and hid behind the screen.

The father finally agreed to propose to Xie Fu, whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the reply of the middleman.

The voice of King Jing Shizi had already sounded in the hall: "Actually, this should have been Neiko's concern, but in recent years, Neiko's health has not been very good, and I, as a father, can only be Zhang Luo." Brother Li, I don't know what Xie Fu means? ”

Lord Arashi nervously wrung his handkerchief.

She didn't know who the "Brother Li" in her father's mouth was, but her father said that because of the relationship between the Xie Mansion and the Guogong Mansion, it was not appropriate for the palace to rashly invite the matchmaker to go, and it was appropriate to ask the lady who was familiar with Mrs. Xie Fu to investigate.

I think that this Mrs. Li is a person who is familiar with Mrs. Xie.

An unfamiliar voice sounded in the hall: "Neizi tested Mrs. Xie's meaning, and Mrs. Xie said that she had taken a good look at the girl for her son, and she could only live up to the prince's good intentions." ”

Lord Lan couldn't listen to the words behind him, so he covered his mouth and leaned on the screen and slid to the ground, until the person left, and King Jing went around behind the screen, she still buried her head and cried silently.

King Jing pulled her up and sighed: "Lan'er, don't cry, my father knows that my Lan'er is the best girl in the world." It's just—"

"Just what?" Lan County Lord Mu Ran asked.

"It's just that the old lady of the Xie Mansion is the sister of the old lady Duan of the Guogong Mansion, how can they not know that your mother and the untie knot between the Guogong Mansion and the Guogong Mansion—"

Before King Jing's words fell, Lord Lan had already hidden his face and rushed out.

She trotted all the way to the princess Zeng's and pushed the door in.

Zeng's health has gradually deteriorated in recent years, so he only got up at this time and was preparing to eat.

As soon as she saw Lord Lan come in, her eyes lit up, and her tone was unconcealably excited: "Lan'er, you're here." ”

Since that night, her life has changed drastically, not only her husband no longer enters her room, but even a pair of children have alienated her as a mother.

Brocade clothes and jade food, and she has no taste.

Thinking back to the last time I had a casual meal with my daughter, it was a little like a lifetime away.

"Why did you do that?" Lord Lan bit his lip and looked at his mother.

Zeng's lips trembled: "Lan'er, after so long, are you still blaming me?" ”

Lord Lan raised his hand to wipe away his tears: "Mother, do you know what people say? They said that Han Yuzhu was killed that year because you, as a friend, were jealous of her beauty, so the Guogong Mansion broke off relations with you after learning the truth——"

"They talk nonsense!" Zeng Shi sharply interrupted Lord Lan's words, and his emotions were a little terrifying, "Why do they say that? What evidence do they have? ”

"Mother-" Lord Arashi shook his head, "they don't need any proof, they just think that's enough." ”

Therefore, she was deprived of even the slightest possibility of being with her sweetheart!

"Mother, sometimes, I really can't help but hate you!" Lord Lan looked at the pale and emaciated Zeng, and couldn't bear to say any more, so he turned around and ran away with the corner of his skirt.

Her mother, ruined her happiness all her life.

However, who made her the mother's daughter? In this world, since children can enjoy the shade of their parents, they also have to bear the sins of their parents.

The goose-yellow skirt disappeared at the door, and Zeng sat down in a chair, wanting to cry without tears.

What did she do wrong? It's Concubine Hua who is too ruthless and wants to ruin Han Yuzhu's innocence, what does it have to do with her? She maintains this family, not for the sake of her two children, why should the children blame her in the end?

"Princess, let's eat." The maid said cautiously.

Zeng Shi had no appetite, shook his head and said, "Withdraw it and you will divide it, and the goat milk will be served to Mengmeng." ”

Since beating her husband and children began to alienate her, Zeng's has raised a cat, and Meng Meng is the third cat she raised.

Zeng changed his mind: "Bring Meng Meng over, and I'll feed it myself." ”

In her heart, the cat she has is no different from half a child.

Sometimes Zeng would laugh at himself and think that the cats she raised were the same as her, they were all weak and sickly, no matter how carefully they were fed, the first two cats were still sick and died, and the current Meng Meng was also sick and crooked.

The maid brought Meng Meng over, and Zeng poured goat milk into the palm of his hand and fed the kitten.

The kitten licked a few bites and then stopped touching it.

"Meng Meng is obedient, eat a few more bites, and eat more to grow stronger."

At the urging of the owner, the kitten barely ate a few more bites and stopped moving.

Zeng smiled lovingly, and reached out to caress the kitten's back: "What a squeamish and picky person—"

Before she finished speaking, her face changed suddenly, and she looked at the kitten lying on her lap, which had already died quietly.

"Why, why?" Zeng didn't seem to be able to accept this fact, and asked in a broken heart.

"The princess-" The maid on the side panicked, she always felt that the princess was a little abnormal.

Zeng ignored the maid's cry and looked down at the motionless kitten, tears streaming down his face.

"Princess, take Mengmeng down."

Under Zeng's silence, the maid picked up the kitten and walked out.

Zeng sat still, pulled out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe away his tears, but suddenly felt that his palms were a little sticky.

She lowered her head and rubbed it, and on her palms was goat's milk, which had dried into a layer of skin.

Her eyes shrank suddenly, and she took out a silver from the dustpan and pricked it at the small bowl containing goat's milk.

Zeng covered his heart and retreated.

I see.

She has always had the habit of drinking goat's milk, and sometimes she has no appetite, so she gives goat's milk to cats.

No wonder her body is getting weaker and weaker, no wonder she even has three cats and died of illness inexplicably.

Who poisoned her goat's milk?

Zeng sat for a long time and shouted, "Someone! ”

"What does the princess command?" A maid strode in.

"Go and invite the prince to come over!"

The maid hesitated.

In the past two years, the prince has never come to the princess, and they are all in their eyes. It's not that the princess hasn't sent someone to invite her, but every time it's in vain.

"Go!" Zeng was a little hysterical, "If the prince doesn't come, you can tell him that if he doesn't come today, I will die in front of the grandson and the county lord today!" ”

"Yes, the maid will go." The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly ran out.

Hearing the maid's announcement, King Jing frowned and raised his feet to Zeng's residence.

He stood in the doorway and hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.

Hearing the footsteps, Zeng didn't look back, and said quietly: "The prince is finally here." ”

"If you're all right, I'll go back."

"You all go down!"

Zeng suddenly raised his voice, and all the maids and maids in the room retreated, leaving only the couple in the blink of an eye.

Only then did she turn around and look at King Jing.

"What the hell is the matter with you?"

Zeng smiled: "The prince once said that he didn't want to sleep with me, a snake and scorpion, I thought that the son of the world was clear and bright, and there was no trace of dirt in his heart." ”

It is precisely because of this that she was left out and alienated, but she still lived with anticipation, thinking that she would be as kind as the son of the world, and one day she would change her mind and accept her again.

"So what?" King Jing asked quietly.

"So?" Zeng raised his voice, "That's why I'm stupid, I didn't know that the prince had been giving me this!" ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the goat's milk that had not been removed, and her eyes were full of sadness.

The dignified Wangfu can give chronic poison to the princess for several years, except for the prince, who else can do it?

King Jing was silent.

"Why, I just want to know why? Even if you don't look at my husband and wife relationship with you for many years, I am the mother of Xin'er and Lan'er! ”

King Jing Shizi finally spoke: "It is precisely because you are their mother that you should understand why." The crown princess and the crown prince have a deep affection, although the crown princess has no evidence that you killed her aunt, she can't do anything for the time being, but what about the prince after he succeeds to the throne? Is it because of your mistake that the entire Jingwang Mansion waited for the Autumn Queen to settle accounts? ”

"So I was sick for a few years and died, and the prince and others will not suspect that it was the son of the world, nor will they be angry with the palace of King Jing, and the prince is still a humble gentleman and a benevolent father in the hearts of the world and children. What a good plan for the prince! At the end, Zeng laughed sadly.

King Jing Shizi didn't feel guilty, and said coldly: "You don't plan for your children, you can only plan for me." Think about Xin'er, he still doesn't want to marry a wife, but he doesn't even have the courage to say a word to his sweetheart, and Lan'er was ruined by you! ”

"It's not like that, everything I do, it's for them......"

"Be as smart as you are, and do it yourself." King Jing Shizi put down a sentence, raised his feet and left, without looking back again.

The next day, the maid hurriedly reported: "Shizi, Shizi is crazy." ”

"Crazy? Then send it to the family temple. ”

King Jing Shizi picked up a cup of tea and took a sip unhurriedly. (To be continued.) )
