That night, there was a lively scene inside and outside the Lang Zhai, the sword light and sword shadows in the dark night, sometimes bursting out of dazzling sparks, and someone had a dull ** sound, Zhu Mo was lying on the bed, and looked at the two people on the left and right, he could understand the Fuyuan on the left, but who was the person on the right? Sent by my father?

As if knowing what he was thinking, Wuying turned around and said, "The master guessed that there would be danger here, and specially asked me to protect it, saying that it was the duty of the minister." ”

His appearance melted into the night, Zhu Mo couldn't see it clearly, thought about it and asked, "Did Changyan send you?" ”

Shadowless didn't make a sound, when it was a default.

Gong Xiru's person Zhu Mo was relieved, he knew that the former had a personal guard by his side, although he had never seen the appearance of the guard, but he also knew that the guard was very good, so he closed his eyes and rested with peace of mind.

"Ming'er, don't wake me up so early, I have to take advantage of the opportunity to sleep a little longer." Zhu Mo instructed Fuyuan Dao.

Fuyuan nodded, put down the bed curtain, and he and Wuying were clubbing like a gatekeeper, but if someone who was not self-sufficient broke in, the two of them stepped forward to solve it in the order of one and me.

Although this night was not peaceful, Zhu Mo still slept very deeply, and when he woke up, sure enough, the sky was already bright, and there was no trace in the house, obviously Fuyuan had already taken care of it.

After Wuying went back, he reported to Gong Xiru, saying that there were three different people who came last night, but the purpose was the same, to take Zhu Mo's life.

"Three groups of people, in addition to the eldest prince and the third prince, there are also people all the way, which should be sent by the Queen Mother." Ling Yi analyzed.

The Queen Mother gave poisoned wine to Concubine Yue that year. It is also said that the four princes are evil things, and they are the order of the world, and they want to send them to other countries to be protons. was sent out of the palace by Emperor Qinglong in that way, making people think that the fourth prince was dead.

Now that she knows that the four princes are still alive and still competing for the throne, it is strange that the Queen Mother can tolerate it.

"Zhu Mo's road is not easy to walk, he still needs to do too much to get the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and even the approval of the Queen Mother." Gong Xiru is colorful. If Zhu Mo has too much to do. Then what he and Bai Lang have to do, there is also too much.

Ling Yi nodded in agreement, and said, "Don't show any relationship with Zhu Mo for the time being. If you let the Queen Mother know that you are already going to serve him, you will definitely not be spared. ”

"Don't worry, with you caring about me, I won't let myself have an accident." Gong Xiru said with a smile.

Zhi Yu walked in at this time and said, "Master Hou." Madam. The old lady sent someone over, saying that the dining room had already set up a meal, and invited the Hou Ye and his wife to eat. ”

Ling Yi got up and was about to get out of bed, and just as she was about to bend down to put on her shoes, Gong Xiru was already one step ahead of her to pick up the embroidered shoes and put them on for her.

"What are you doing?" Ling Yi was a little embarrassed on his face, "The people are all watching, how can the dignified marquis put shoes on people, and how can they be passed on." ”

Gong Xiru pulled her up indifferently. "I put shoes on my wife, what do people say. They can still manage the affairs between us and our husbands and wives. ”

Ling Yi looked at the maids standing in a row in the room. smiled: "But some people are just nosy." She walked up to the maids and asked with a smile, "What did you all see just now?" ”

Why couldn't the maids hear the deep meaning of her words, and they shook their heads in fear and said that they didn't see anything.

Ling Yi seemed to be very satisfied: "That's right if I didn't see it, I'm just a little curious, what will you say when you return to your father later?" Does it mean that the Hou Ye and his wife are in love, or are they incompatible? ”

Now the maids don't know how to answer, the old lady only asked them to monitor, and report everything that happened in the house truthfully, anyone can see that the husband and wife have a very good relationship, what does Madam mean, is it to let them false?

"Husband, lady, and servants are all serving you, and the servants will do whatever you command." A clever girl replied.

Ling Yi's smile became more and more gentle: "It's a smart girl, don't forget, after tomorrow, you will all go to the Hou Mansion with us to do things, who will be your master in the future, weigh it yourself, but don't choose the wrong position." ”

A few maids had already turned pale with fright, although this lady looked kind, but when she spoke, it made people's hearts tremble, as if as long as they and others did something wrong, the next moment the smile would turn into a ruthless sneer.

When Ling Yi and Gong Xiru came to the dining room, Princess Haining and Gong Yunrui, as well as Gong Chengyan and Peng, all sat down.

Princess Haining saw the two of them coming over, and the corners of her mouth sneered, "Oh-sister-in-law is not in good spirits, didn't she sleep well last night?" Why doesn't the eldest brother look very good? What happened last night, didn't the two of them sleep? ”

She thought that the two of them slept in separate beds last night, after all, normal people can't stand sleeping with someone who likes men next to them, and Gong Xiru can't stand sleeping with a woman next to her, and when she said this, it was also to mock the two, especially Ling Yi, seeing that she was suffering the pain she was almost going to bear, Princess Haining was so happy in her heart.

Gong Yunrui said lightly: "For dinner in the morning, you don't say a word - if your sister-in-law feels unwell, I will ask the doctor to come and show you, you have been busy these days, maybe because you are tired." ”

Ling Yi sat down with a smile: "I've been really tired in the past two days, I'll go to Xiaorentang to get a few pills later." ”

Gong Chengyan's eyelids jumped slightly, and he said with a smile: "Wenyu, you see that you are stupid, your sister-in-law has a whole Xiaorentang, you have to do this more, what kind of doctor to find, just call Dr. Liu from Xiaorentang later, it will be a family in the future, don't look for an outside doctor if you have any illness at home." ”

"I'm a married daughter now, where is there any Xiaorentang, I don't have the cheekiness to take care of my mother's affairs anymore, my father can rest assured, I will be good in the future, and I will only concentrate on the affairs of the house here."

Gong Chengyan frowned slightly, and secretly scolded in his heart, isn't he just for the three properties of the Ling family, if he really didn't take it as a dowry, then wouldn't he be a bamboo basket for nothing.

No, in fact, if you think about it, even if you don't have those few places to make a dowry. He still has one more thing that can be used as comfort, at least to make Gong Xiru and Ling Yi hate each other for the rest of their lives. It's not going to be easy for a lifetime, just like himself, it's not going to be good for a lifetime.

On the third day, according to the convention, Ling Yi was going to take Gong Xiru back to the door together, and in the morning, Zhi Yu and the weaving fan got up to pack up their things, and when the sky was just slightly bright, they packed up, waiting for Ling Yi to say that they would leave.

After saying goodbye to Gong Chengyan and others. Ling Yi and Gong Xiru got into a carriage and went to the Ling Mansion, and asked Gong Sheng to prepare another carriage to carry all the things in the Hall back to the Hou Mansion. Including the maids who served in Ling Yi's house.

On the way, Gong Xiru and Ling Yi said: "After you go back, you can send those maids away at will, it's useless to keep them." ”

Ling Yi smiled: "That's for you to fill in." You don't keep any of them? ”

Gong Xiru was slightly displeased. "I don't need any filling, and I've never used them before, so you can dispose of them as you like."

Ling Yi was also joking with him, but seeing that he didn't seem to be joking about this matter, he said, "Okay, listen to you, I'll send them away when I go back and find a good place for them all." It's also our master and servant. ”

"You've always been very measured." Gong Xiru praised.

The carriage stopped outside the gate, and the guards hurried into the courtyard to report. After a while, I saw Ling Shandao helping Lan out of the way.

Ling Yi stepped forward to salute the two, and the Lan family pulled her to look her up and down before she said with red eyes: "Have you not eaten much in the past few days, there is no meat on this face, and there is meat on your hands, are you wronged?" ”

Ling Yi said with a smile: "Three days of hard work, I just don't eat anything and I can't lose anything, grandmother, don't worry, I'm all right." She raised her eyebrows at Lan and signaled that the latter should not ignore her husband.

Only then did Lan Shi react, and he smiled and went to pull Gong Xiru's hand again, "Good boy, hurry up and enter the house, it's cold this day, why don't you wear more clothes." ”

"My grandson is not cold, and my grandson is in good health." Gong Xiru shouted kindly, and Ling Yi took Lan's hand left and right and walked into the house.

The charcoal fire in the house was burning, and when he entered the house, a wave of heating hit, Ling Yi took off his coat, and snuggled up with Gong Xiru to talk at Lan's feet.

"I brought some things back, knowing that my grandmother loves to eat soft, I asked the kitchen over there to make rice cakes, my father doesn't like calligraphy and painting, I picked a treasure from the gift I received, it is Mr. Qi Shi's writing, my father promised to like it."

Ling Yi asked Zhi Yu and Weaving Fan to take out all the things they brought back, eat and wear, and finally took a box to play with for the third brother Hao'er.

Ling Hao had just turned one year old, and he was already able to walk tremblingly on the road, looking at Ling Yi, dancing happily, and calling out his unclear sister in his mouth.

The family talked for a long time, and when it was almost lunch, Ling Yicai and Ling Shandao went to the study, and only then did she look solemn.

"Father, this Eight Sound Country, Xiaorentang and Moguan, I can take care of it for the time being, but don't let people know, Gong Chengyan wants to take it away from me, and I didn't let him know how much dowry I have.

In addition, the palace also asked his father to pay more attention, his father should know Zhu Mo's identity. ”

Ling Shandao sighed: "Why can't I guess now, he married Yuan Kai's daughter, the battle in this palace has begun, and in a few days, the emperor will let him return to the palace, when the time comes, I am afraid that there will be a lot of turmoil." ”

"Father don't take a stand for the time being, just support him secretly, there are still people in the palace who are dissatisfied with Zhu Mo, and they will definitely find a way to get rid of his help, if my father comes out at this time, he will definitely become the first thing they want to get rid of."

Ling Shandao asked, "Do you think the Ling Mansion should be on the side of the Four Princes?" ”

Ling Yi nodded affirmatively: "No matter what the intermediate process will be, the fourth prince will definitely ascend the throne in the future." Although she hadn't seen that scene in her previous life, she was sure of one thing, that is, at this time next year, whether it was the eldest prince or the third prince, they would lose power.

In the year when the Ling family was raided, the two most vocal princes were punished by Emperor Qinglong for making mistakes, and everyone didn't realize one thing at that time, that is, although the two princes were at fault, if it wasn't for Emperor Qinglong, how could they lose the trust of the ministers of the court.

In fact, now that I think about it, at that time, Emperor Qinglong was already planning to help the four princes seize the throne, if the time is not wrong, then this time next year, there is likely to be a big change in the palace. (To be continued.) )
