Chapter 580: It can't be a child trafficking, right?
Outside the city, in the backyard of an inn on the official road, the carrier pigeon fell, and a woman dressed in red, after untying the bamboo tube from the ankle of the carrier pigeon, tied it to the ankle of another carrier pigeon, and the carrier pigeon flew towards the city......
"Prince, there is news about the little prince, that person is still in the palace, and they are going to secretly take the child out of the palace." Jiang Xiao hurried over and said.
"Well, where are they going to take Hongu's son to?" The prince said in a deep voice.
"The news that came back said that they did not plan to leave the little prince in a safe place, and then use it to negotiate with the crown prince at a critical moment." Jiang Xiao said respectfully.
Sure enough, things were just as he thought, they took Xun'er away just to use it as a bargaining chip. It's just that treating a child who is more than a year old like this is simply inhumane, and he has the ability to rush at adults.
That night, King An's people were holding Xun'er in the courtyard, Xun'er was hungry and cried for a long time, and finally fell asleep in the arms of the palace maid with sobbing.
"Master, this child is really difficult to bring, he kept crying, and he was almost discovered, so let's take him out of the palace." The palace maid said to the man in the cloak.
"It's really useless, I can't even take care of a child, if he dies, how can we use him as a bargaining chip." The man snapped.
"Even if you die, you can threaten me." The palace maid was dissatisfied.
"Hmph, idiot, if this chip dies, Zhao Yi will definitely do whatever it takes, and even if we win, we will lose a lot of money. Give me the child, and I'll take him outside for people to watch. You do your own thing and don't expose it. ”
"Yes, master." The palace maid saluted respectfully.
The man hugged Xun'er, Xun'er's eyes were full of tears, and his pitiful appearance made the person holding him suddenly have a cute heart.
"Little one, if you're hungry, I'll take you to eat." After finishing speaking, with a light touch on his toes, he drove a light gong and left from the remote North Garden of the palace.
Xun'er has grown so big, and has not yet been carried by someone to fly in the night sky, and a pair of big eyes are looking around curiously.
Eventually, the man landed in a courtyard in the middle of the city with Xun'er in his arms. The people in the house heard the movement and immediately walked out, and they were slightly stunned when they saw the man holding Xun'er in his arms.
"What are you doing with this kid here?" Lan Ru frowned slightly.
"You are a woman, it must be much easier for you to take the child than me, he seems to be hungry, and he was crying before, you can get him something to eat." King An glanced at Xun'er in his arms.
"It's ......, okay!" Lan Ru took Xun'er and held Xun'er in her arms, "Pick lotus, go cook some rice porridge." ”
"Yes, master." Cai Lian answered, and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
Lan Ru sat in the room, put Xun'er on her lap, and let Xun'er face her, "Little guy, why are you so cute?" ”
"Cute, cute," Xun'er said with a smile.
"Why are you so narcissistic, it's really the same as your father." Lan said with a smile.
I think that when she first met the prince with the pseudonym Xue Feihan, she was already attracted by his cold and arrogant temperament, but the prince at that time always wore half a mask, and even so, the half of his face was already deeply attracted to her.
And when I saw his true face later, I secretly promised it, and this promise was many years. However, what she didn't expect was that Xue Feihan's other identity was the prince of Dongxia, and it was precisely because of this important identity that she gave up the idea of being together.
But when she mustered up the courage, there were already others around him. Now, with the son of her beloved man in her arms, she has an indescribable sourness.
"Master, the rice porridge is ready." Cai Lian walked over with a bowl of steaming rice porridge.
"Okay, let it cool before you can give it to the children." Lan Ru continued to tease Xun'er.
"Master, why are you so good to other people's children. Don't you still want to marry the Lord? ”
"Marry him? I'm afraid I won't have a chance in this life. Not to mention, this little guy is very cute, and it would be nice if I had such a son. Lan Ru smiled lightly.
"If the master is the side concubine of the lord, isn't he also the child's aunt?" Cai Lian said softly.
"No, looking at the happiness of the family, what kind of fun am I going to have, do you think that the master of the hall can't have his own happiness?" Lan raised her eyebrows and said.
"Of course not, the master should have better happiness." Cai Lian hurriedly responded.
Oh my God, the look in the hall master's eyes just now seemed to kill her, but fortunately, her brain turned quickly, saying that she deserved better, so the disaster was avoided.
That night, Lan Ru hugged Xun'er and wanted to coax him to sleep, but Xun'er had been by Gu Yunxin's side since she was born, no matter how Lan Ru coaxed, this Xun'er just refused to sleep peacefully.
Xun'er's crying made the whole yard uneasy, but what can be done? They can only do it in a hurry, there is no way.
"Master, this little guy is crying so much, otherwise, let's order his sleeping hole and let him sleep peacefully." Cai Lian suggested.
"Nonsense, such a young child, how can you use such a method? When I saw Gu Yunxin holding him like this, he stopped crying. Why can't I hold it? It's okay during the day. Lan pouted.
"Master, this child is all recognized by his mother, the taste of his mother is always the most familiar, when the child sleeps, as long as there are people he is familiar with, he can sleep peacefully." A rough woman said lightly.
"So that's the case, but I'm not a mother, isn't there a way to be been?" Lan Ru raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Then you can only let the child cry tired and sleep by himself." The mother-in-law said respectfully.
"Look at this, you know how to take care of the child, from now on, you don't do anything else, help me take good care of the child, as long as the child is safe and healthy, this girl will definitely reward him." Lan Ru said lightly.
Hearing this, the woman hurriedly knelt down and thanked her, now she can really be a lot easier, otherwise, the chores in this yard are really tiring.
But taking care of the child is not an easy task, Xun'er's identity, these people naturally don't know, and they think that the child was bought by Lan Ru from another family.
That night, Lan Ru went back to the room and slept for a while, but she couldn't sleep, she remembered Xun'er in her heart, so she got dressed, put on a cloak, and walked out of the room.
Xun'er was resting in the room on the east side of her courtyard, and when she passed by the room of the subordinates on the east side, she happened to hear the subordinates chatting.
"You say, the lady of our yard is so beautiful, but I don't see this man come back." A mother-in-law sneered.
"If you want me to say, she must be an outer room, and the lady of the main room of this man is strictly in charge, so she won't come."
"Who knows, there is suddenly an extra child today, look at the way she likes it, I'm afraid it's her own child, and someone will be smuggled into the house today." The mother-in-law who provoked the conversation just now said.
"I don't look like it, she can't be a kidnapper and trafficker, right?" Another mother-in-law exclaimed.
Hearing this, Lan Ru frowned, she hated it the most when others talked about her behind her back. She's someone else's outer room, and it's just a means to cover people's ears.
can be said to be abducting and selling children, so why don't she have such a notoriety. Immediately, Lan Ru kicked the door open, and the people inside were dumbfounded, where would they have thought that it was so late, and the hostess of this courtyard had not rested.
"Madame spares her life, Madame spares her life." Several mothers-in-law knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Cailian, what I hate most is these long-tongued women who tell the truth, drive them all out, and find some again tomorrow." Lan Ru said coldly.
If such a thing was put in normal times, she would definitely pull out the tongues of these troubled mothers-in-law, but she couldn't do it too openly now, otherwise it would lead to other troubles.
Trouble, she Lan Ru has never been worried, but if this destroys the prince's plan, then they will fall short.
"Madame, don't drive us away, we know it's wrong." Several mothers-in-law kowtowed again and again.
There is only one master in this yard, and on weekdays, they only need to clean up the yard and prepare some delicious meals, and they don't need to worry about other things at all.
Don't look at the work, their wages are not low. If you go to a big family to do things, you will have less money than these, and you have to do things for your master, and if you don't do it, you will have to lose your life.
"Drive them all away, it's useless to beg me." After finishing speaking, Lan Ru walked to the room where Xun'er was with Xun'er in her arms.
Pushing the door in, I saw Xun'er sleeping in the cradle, with tears still hanging on her little face.
"How's the kid?" Lan Ru looked at Xun'er in the cradle and said.
"I just cried tired and fell asleep. Madame, this child ......."
"This kid belongs to a friend of mine, he has something to do, stay with me for a few days and go back." Lan Ru said lightly.
Things have been paved step by step to now, and it should be almost the same, and now she is just waiting for the uprooting of the forces that King An has placed in the harem and the court, and her task will be completed.
"The slave doesn't mean that, the slave wants to say, this child is so young, he should still be breastfed, do you want your friend to send her nurse?"
"This ...... My friend, she feeds herself, and she doesn't have any nurses at home. These days, you give your child some porridge, and I see that she sometimes feeds her child rice porridge, as well as some vegetables and fruits. Lan Ru hesitated for a moment.
She has been with Gu Yunxin for many days, and she has never seen what kind of nurse she uses, and I heard the prince say that the children are all fed by Gu Yunxin himself.
She couldn't do that alone. It's too hard to take care of a small child every day.
If it's just an occasional teasing, it's still not enough. And Lan Ru also knows that a person like her, who has little patience, is also a good mother. Thinking of Gu Yunxin, she couldn't help but admire Gu Yunxin a little.
