More than 20 years ago, Xiao Chengxiang's younger sister, Xiao Lanying, the second lady of the Xiao family, fell in love with the first emperor and entered the palace to be named Concubine Li.

The first emperor could be said to have favored Xiao Lanying, but such a favor may not be a good thing for Xiao Lanying.

Since Xiao Lanying entered the palace, Concubine Lu's status has been threatened.

So Xiao Lanying, who was favored at that time, was a thorn in her eye, and if she didn't get rid of her, she would be unhappy for a day.

But because Xiao Lanying's brother was the prime minister of the dynasty, Lu Lan had no way to embarrass her and frame her openly, until when both of them were pregnant, Lu Lan felt that her opportunity had come.

As the days passed, Xiao Lanying's signs were the one who could give birth to the prince, and Lu Lan at that time was undoubtedly more anxious, the one in her belly, whether it was male or female, was born behind Xiao Lanying, it was not the eldest son, if Xiao Lanying gave birth to the prince as everyone said, the person who ascended to the throne for a long time must be her.

Thinking of this, Lu Lan couldn't be stable for a day, she was looking for opportunities every day, thinking about this matter every day.

When the two of them were getting bigger and bigger day by day, close to the day of production, Lu Lan's opportunity came, and at that time she felt that God wanted to help her in everything, so Xiao Lanying couldn't blame others, she could only blame God for not wanting to favor her.

Because the day of production is getting closer and closer, Xiao Lanying wants to go to the temple to pray in person, so that the child can be born safely.

At first, when she told the first emperor of her thoughts, the first emperor did not agree, but she insisted on going, so the first emperor still agreed, and the temple where Xiao Lanying was going to pray was the Qingfang Temple on Wuqi Mountain in Qingtai.

The first emperor sent a lot of soldiers to escort him, and he told him thousands of times until Xiao Lanying left the palace to pray for blessings.

At that time, Xiao Lanying didn't know that her every move was under Lu Lan's control, Lu Lan had been waiting for this opportunity for too long, so she had to succeed no matter what, in order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, after Xiao Lanying set off, Lu Lan immediately sent someone to follow them.

Xiao Lanying was very safe and smooth along the way, Lu Lan didn't let them do it within the Wan Dynasty, she knew that if it caused a stir here, it wouldn't take long for the emperor's ability to find out about her, Lu Lan would naturally not be so stupid.

It takes about seven or eight days to travel from Wan Dynasty to Qingtai, because Xiao Lanying is pregnant, so the speed of the team is much slower than usual, and by the time they approached Qingtai, it had already been eight or nine days.

"Niangniang, there are still half a day to arrive in Qingtai." Qiao Ling, Xiao Lanying's personal maid who accompanied her, said leisurely.

"Qiaoling, let them stop and rest." Xiao Lanying instructed Qiao Ling, since it was almost here, there was no hurry to do so.

"Niangniang, is there something uncomfortable?" Hearing Xiao Lanying's request, Qiao Ling thought it was a bump in the road and she was unwell, so she asked nervously.

"No, Bengong is just worried that they have come all the way, and they haven't rested a few times, now that it's approaching, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Xiao Lanying said softly.

Hearing Xiao Lanying say this, Qiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, when she came, the emperor repeatedly warned her to take care of her mother, so along the way, Qiao Ling was afraid that Xiao Lanying would have three long and two short, Xiao Lanying said that just now, it really made her heart plench, even if her mother's temperament was uncomfortable, she would never say it directly, so Qiao Ling always had to think a little more.

"Niangniang, it's almost here, if you don't feel unwell, it's not too late to wait for us to take a break after we enter the Qingtai." In this wilderness, Qiao Ling didn't think it was a good place to rest.

Xiao Lanying didn't object, nodded in response, and the group continued to hurry.

As everyone knows, it was precisely because of Qiao Ling's words that they were spared, the people arranged by Lu Lan have been waiting to make a move, if they stay again, it will undoubtedly give them the best opportunity, but they didn't stay, so Lu Lan's people can only follow them first and make other plans.

Lu Lan, who was far away in the Wan Dynasty, had been waiting for them to send back the news, and she didn't wait, she was also sitting on pins and needles in the deep palace.

"Rong Wan, do you think this palace can get your wish?" Lu Lan, who was restless, could only seek comfort from others.

"Don't worry, this matter is safe, you can wait for the good news with peace of mind!" Bookbag netting

Lu Lan nodded, and now it can only be like this.

Xiao Lanying and others entered Qingtai near evening.

"Niangniang, let's take a break here, and then set off for Qingfang Temple, okay?" The carriage stopped, Qiao Ling lifted the curtain and asked Xiao Lanying's opinion.

"Okay, just as you say." Xiao Lanying bowed her head and responded warmly.

Subsequently, Xiao Lanying got out of the carriage with the support of Qiao Ling and walked into the restaurant.

Just like the restaurant, the guests in the restaurant didn't know their identities, but looking at the posture, thinking about which nobleman's wife should be, they all held their breath, until Xiao Lanying went upstairs to the private room, and then resumed the lively appearance.

Lu Lan's people also hid among the crowd, drinking and eating with ordinary people, without attracting anyone's attention.

"My lord, when are we going to do it?" There were several men with black hats on a table, one of whom whispered to the man sitting on the opposite side.

"On the outskirts of the city." The man said quietly.

After hearing the man's answer, several people continued to eat.

Half an hour later, Xiao Lanying slowly came down from the upstairs with the support of Qiao Ling, walked out of the restaurant, got into the carriage, and left.

As they left, so did the crowd wearing black hats.

Xiao Lanying and the others went out of the city and headed towards the outskirts of the city.

After walking for a while, there was some distance from the city, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and these mysterious people gradually appeared.

They quietly infiltrated the accompanying party and assassinated many soldiers.

Just as he walked into a dense forest, Xiao Lanying's carriage was stopped by a group of people.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Qiao Ling and Xiao Lanying in the sedan couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Qiaoling, what's going on?" Xiao Lanying stroked her stomach with her hand, and she already noticed an unusual aura around her.

"Mother, don't get down in the car, slave maid go and take a look." Qiao Ling reassured.

Just as he was about to lift the sedan curtain, he heard the sound of fighting outside.

Xiao Lanying suddenly became nervous and grabbed her, "Qiaoling, someone is in ambush!" ”

"Niangniang, don't worry, Qiao Ling will definitely protect you and the prince."

With that, Qiao Ling drew the long sword in the sedan chair and rushed out.

In order to protect Xiao Lanying's thoughtfulness, Qiao Ling is Xiao Zetian's secret guard arranged by Xiao Lanying's side a long time ago.

At this moment, Xiao Lanying in the sedan chair listened to the sound of swords colliding outside the sedan chair, tightly protected her stomach, and felt a wave in her heart.
