"Nightmares?" Aunt Wanhua raised her eyebrows, "What nightmare did Niangniang have?" ”

Lu Guifei hugged her legs and sat against the bedpost for a while, before she said in a hoarse voice and in a low voice, "I dreamed that my mother was really killed by my father, and all night long, that scene was repeated, my mother looked at me in despair like that, and I was really sad to be looked at by her." ”

"What are you going to do now?" Aunt Wanhua lowered her head and asked with her eyebrows raised.

"I still don't know," Lu Guifei shook her head heavily, "I really don't know." I want to avenge my mother, but I'm afraid, all this is true, and I can't bear it. ”

"Then don't think about it for the time being," Aunt Wanhua raised her hand and patted her on the shoulder gently, "Slave maid wait for you to get up, it's the end of the month, and I'm going to Kunning Palace today to ask the queen mother for peace." ”

"I don't want to go to this palace," Lu Guifei frowned unhappily at the mention of Kunning Palace, "You find a palace maid to take a trip, and push today's invitation, just say that this palace is not happy." ”

"It's okay," Aunt Wanhua nodded, and followed, she persuaded Lu Guifei for a while before walking outside.

When she finished the order, she went back to the dormitory, and at this time, Lu Guifei had already gotten out of bed barefoot, sitting in front of the makeup mirror table and looking at the well-maintained face in the rhombic mirror.

"Niangniang," she stood behind Lu Guifei and called softly.

Lu Guifei still looked at the face in the mirror stupidly, and after a long time, she suddenly closed her eyes and said, "Wanhua, let out the news that the palace summoned Aunt Bao." ”

When Aunt Wanhua heard this, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she forcibly suppressed it and said, "Niangniang, have you thought it through?" ”

Lu Guifei frowned tightly and nodded, "Although the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, there is a difference between thickness and thickness, my face is eight or nine points similar to my mother, from childhood to adulthood, she loves me the most, if I can't figure this thing out, I'm afraid, I won't even dare to look in the mirror in the future." ”

"The slave and maid understood, and then found someone to spread the news quietly." Aunt Wanhua agreed.

Concubine Lu finally made a decision, and let out a long sigh of relief, "Help the palace to have breakfast!" ”

"Yes, sis!" Aunt Wanhua agreed, and carefully helped Lu Guifei up.

Here, Aunt Wanhua had just released the news, and on the other side, the news was received in the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

In the study, Lu He looked at Han Shuo, the leader of the Tiger Guard, with a gloomy face, "This is true, did the imperial concubine really summon Aunt Bao?" ”

Han Shuo arched his hand and nodded with a solemn face, "Back to the general's words, it's true!" According to the information report in the palace, around midnight yesterday, Niangniang sent Aunt Wanhua to secretly sneak to the Shanggong Bureau and took Aunt Bao to Yilan Palace. ”

"That Aunt Bao, did you say anything that shouldn't be said?"

"No," Han Shuo said, "Before coming to the General's Mansion, my subordinates deliberately went into the palace and carefully interrogated Aunt Bao, and she didn't say anything that shouldn't be said." ”

"That's good," Lu He nodded, paused, and his face sank again, and said, "The living are unreliable in the end, only the dead will keep it a complete secret, and the matter of Aunt Bao will be left to you, be sure to be cautious, don't let Niangniang notice that something is wrong." ”

"Yes, General, my subordinates understand," Han Shuo agreed.

Lu He waved his hand at him, "You stand down for the time being!" ”

"Yes, General!" Han Shuo took the order and retreated.

After Lu He left, his right hand on the table pinched the wrench on his thumb stiffly, and thought with a gloomy face, this incident has happened for more than a year, how could Shaowei suddenly notice Aunt Bao? Could it be that there is another article in this? Is Lu Nianjin making small moves behind his back?

Thinking like this, he intuitively counted this account on Lu Nianjin's head.

After a while, he called Vice Admiral Zhang in.

After Vice General Zhang entered the door, he arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what the general commands?" ”

"Go and find a few of the soldiers under the general's account! General Ben has something to discuss with them. ”

"Yes, General!" Vice Admiral Zhang agreed and withdrew......

In less than a quarter of an hour, seven or eight military officers entered the study together, and there was a noisy discussion in the study.

In the National Teacher's Mansion, Lu Nianjin stayed in the Yunjie Courtyard, except for the people who guarded the pharmacy, almost everyone else in the Luo Shen Yuan was transferred to the Yunjie Courtyard.

"Girl, warm up with a cup of rose dew," Yun Jiang made a cup of rose dew and handed it to her with a smile.

Lu Nianjin took it, took a sip, and asked, "How has Wisteria Mansion cleaned up in the past few days?" ”

Since the last time she and Xiao Xun were assassinated in the Wisteria Mansion, the Wisteria Mansion closed the door and renovated it, and the Zhang family has not been here in the past few days, and she has no way of knowing the situation in the Wisteria Mansion.

Yun Jiang is in constant contact with the Zhang family, but she understands a little, she lowered her eyes for a moment, and said with a smile, "It's almost finished, but I just heard from Mrs. Wan that if it is reopened, it will inevitably be a preferential treatment again." ”

"These are all trivial things, as long as they can open smoothly," Lu Nianjin said, as if he remembered something, and looked at Xiao Xun, who was fighting left and right not far away, playing chess with himself, and said, "Prince, it is said that you are very good at Zhou Yi and Feng Shui?" ”

"So what?" Xiao Xun dropped the black and white chess pieces in his hand and looked at her, "What does the crown princess want to say?" ”

"It's nothing, the concubine just wants to ask, is it inconvenient for you to find a time to help the Wisteria Mansion take a look at feng shui, and then choose a good and auspicious day for opening?"

Xiao Xun guessed her mind before she opened her mouth, but now, listening to her say it seriously, her expression was still a little stiff, "Are you sure?" ”

Lu Nianjin pursed his lips and said in frustration, "If the prince doesn't want to, then forget it." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Xun knocked his eyelids lightly, but after all, he was reluctant to let her be unhappy, so he hastily agreed.

"Really?" Lu Nianjin was surprised.

Xiao Xun said "um", lowered his eyes for a moment, and said, "Tomorrow, it happens to be a good day to go out, and this palace will accompany you to Wisteria Mansion." ”

"Thank you, Prince!" Lu Nianjin thanked excitedly.

Xiao Xun raised his eyebrows, "Huh? ”

Lu Nianjin blinked, puzzled, "'Huh? What does 'it mean?' ”

"Have you promised to send the main palace bed clothes again?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Nianjin finally understood what he meant, and co-authored not to accept her verbal thanks.

"I—I'll do it when I turn around!" She stumbled and said with a grin.

Xiao Xun hummed, ignored her, and continued to fight left and right, playing chess.

Lu Nianjin finished shouting a glass of rose dew, stood up and walked towards him, stared at the chess game for a moment, his hands itched for a while, and he simply sat down opposite him, and said, "I'll play a game with you?" ”

When Xiao Xun heard this, he raised his head and looked at her with slight surprise, "Do you know how to play chess?" ”

Lu Nianjin raised his eyebrows, "The prince looks down on me?" ”

"No," Xiao Xun shook his head, "I just didn't expect it." ”

"Humph!" Lu Nianjin raised his chin slightly, snorted softly, took the white chess piece from his hand, and put it in one place.

Xiao Xun's eyes lit up, "You really know?" ”

Lu Nianjin: "......" does he look down on people so much?

She ignored him anymore, and went down one chess piece after another, and in the end it was a draw.

Xiao Xun was completely impressed by her, "Jin'er, you are really hidden," as he said, he changed the topic, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You also learned this chess skill from your mother?" ”

When Lu Nianjin heard him ask, he unconsciously clenched his hands and nodded, "Yes, yes!" ”

Xiao Xun didn't say anything more, rearranged the plate, and the two fought again.

Now Xiao Xun no longer underestimated the enemy, and went all out, Lu Nianjin lost a little miserably.

She lost interest all of a sudden, threw away the white child in her hand, and said, "Don't play, it's boring!" ”

Xiao Xun smiled, put away the chess pieces, and said, "Don't you think I let you?" ”

"Not really!" Lu Nianjin snorted softly and refused to admit it.

Xiao Xun covered the chess stick, looked at her side face lightly, and said, "Not cheating, is the greatest respect for the opponent." ”

"Oh?" Lu Nianjin turned his head sideways and looked at him, "It turns out that in the prince's heart, I am your opponent?" ”

Xiao Xun: "...... It was my fault! He froze for a moment and apologized helplessly, "You are not my opponent, you are my beloved wife." ”

"Forget it," Lu Nianjin's ears were red, don't start, "Don't worry about you, I'll go and see what the kitchen is cooking today," After speaking, he stood up and walked out.

Xiao Xun watched her leave, laughing silently, she had been married for so long, and she was still so shy.

Bao Gu did not escape this catastrophe after all, she died in her room, poisoned by coal, and when her body was found, she was stiff, and her face was distorted to an incredible degree.

When the news reached Yilan Palace, Lu Guifei, who was fiddling with rouge, was stunned, and the glass rouge box in her hand fell to the ground, and the snow-white long-haired Persian carpet was suddenly dyed red.

"Niangniang," Aunt Wanhua called softly, folded her hands, and lowered her eyes, "Perhaps, this incident was just an accident." ”

"Do you think it will?" Lu Guifei smiled bitterly, and crystal tears fell from her eyes one by one, and fell on her hand that lit Kodan, making her tremble for a while.

Aunt Wanhua looked at her master like this, lowered her head silently, and said no more.

Lu Guifei cried for a long time before she stopped, she wiped the water stains on her face vigorously, looked at Aunt Wanhua and said, "Serve the palace to bathe and change clothes, and the palace is going to the Qianyuan Palace to meet the emperor." ”

"See the emperor?" Aunt Wanhua asked rhetorically, not understanding what Lu Guifei meant.

Concubine Lu Guifei stood up, looked at her sideways, and said, "This palace wants to go back to the General's Mansion to save relatives." ”

Aunt Wanhua finally understood what her master meant, she nodded, and busily served Concubine Lu to dress up.

An hour later, Lu Guifei took the imperial concubine's sedan chair, walked out of Yong'an Gate, and went straight to the direction of the Zhenguo General's Mansion along Zhuque Street.

Zhenguo General's Mansion, Lu He heard that Lu Guifei had returned to the mansion to save his relatives, so he immediately left the study and walked to the gate of the General's Mansion with the servants of the Mansion.

"The old minister greets the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine is a thousand years old and a thousand years old!" He knelt at the door of the general's mansion and saluted the sedan chair that was close at hand.

Lu Guifei had a cold face, slowly walked down from the sedan chair, looked at Lu He coldly, and said, "General, get up!" ”

Lu He listened to Lu Guifei's cold and detached voice, and his heart immediately chuckled, he tentatively raised his head and looked at the daughter in front of him, but saw that Lu Guifei's face, in addition to grace and indifference, could not find a trace of the previous admiration for him.

"Let's go in first!" Lu Guifei clenched her hand under the wide robe, resisted the urge to cry, raised her legs and walked towards the general's mansion, Lu He got up from the ground, chased after him in three steps and two steps, "Why did Niangniang suddenly remember to go back to the mansion to save her relatives?" ”

"What, can't Hongu come back?"

"That's not what the old minister meant."

"Tomorrow, the palace will go to the Lujiayuan Mausoleum in the west of the city to worship the ancestors."

"Ancestor worship?" Lu He was horrified.

Lu Guifei turned her head sideways and glanced at him coldly, "Not bad!" ”

After that, there was no word until the two entered the hall.

"All of you go down!" Lu Guifei instructed the subordinates in the hall.

The subordinates said yes and retreated.

Lu He's heart became more and more uneasy, he pursed his lips, looked at Lu Guifei with a frown, and said in a hoarse voice, "Niangniang, please take a seat!" ”

Concubine Lu sat down silently in the main seat.

"The general should sit down too!" She pointed to the second place again and said to Lu He.

Lu He sat down on pins and needles, his back stiffened for a moment, and said, "Niangniang, please drink tea." ”

Lu Guifei's eyes moved slightly, and she glanced at the Lu'an melon slices on the table, but she didn't move, but looked straight at Lu He and said, "The purpose of this palace's return to Ning today, the general must already know, right?" ”

The corners of Lu He's mouth stiffened, and he wanted to cover up and say, "What did Niangniang say, why didn't the old minister understand?" ”

"Do you really not understand?" Lu Guifei sneered, but the next moment, her eyes were red, she bit her lower lip tightly, and said, "That palace asks you, what happened to my mother's death, why did Mama Bao, who changed her clothes, say that there was a man's pinch mark on her neck, and she didn't crash into the rockery at all, but hit the corner of the table......" When it came to the last sentence, she couldn't hold back anymore, and tears flowed down.

Lu He was silent.

Lu Guifei couldn't stand the fact that he didn't say anything or defend anything, she waved her sleeves vigorously, and the next moment, the tea cups and ornaments on the table were all smashed to the ground, making a crackling sound. Because of this, Lu Guifei cried even more.

Lu He was still silent.

"You say!" Lu Guifei's eyes were red, she looked up at him, and asked without giving up when she didn't reach the Yellow River.

"What if the old minister says yes?" After a long time, Lu He finally spoke, he looked at Lu Guifei for a moment, and said, "Niangniang wants to kill me now and avenge your mother?" Or is it the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who will send the old ministers to the army, oh, or maybe it will be a decision? After all, although your grandfather's Mu family has declined, your mother still has a lot of cousins and cousins, and the emaciated camel is always bigger than the horse. ”

"So, is it really you?" Lu Guifei's eyes widened and she asked hoarsely.

Lu He knew that he had been exposed, so he no longer hid it, "Yes." ”

"Y-Why are you doing that?"

"Because of Lu Nianjin, I like her mother, and I like her, in the Langyue House of the Chengguo Mansion, I want to get her, but your mother followed her, she argued with me, I didn't notice it for a while, and I pushed her to the ground. But at this time, your mother is not dead, she is still angry, if there is a doctor to rescue her in time, she can survive, but Lu Nianjin did not, she took advantage of the chaos, she didn't look at your mother, turned around and ran away. ”

"That's right...... Is that really the case? Lu Guifei asked rhetorically.

Lu He glanced at her sympathetically and apologetically, "It's already come to this point, does Niang Niang think that the old minister will still lie to you?" ”

"The culprit of all this is Lu Nianjin, she is the one who doesn't save her when she sees death, and she is the one who finally wants your mother's life."

"General, do you think you can get away with it if you say this?" Lu Guifei sneered, "My mother's death, Lu Nianjin had a good time, and you are not completely innocent." ”

"And what do you want?"

"Kill all the women in Beizhuang, bury my mother, and keep filial piety for my mother for three years." Lu Guifei said thoughtfully.

Lu He listened to her proposal, and agreed without thinking about it, "Okay." ”

"......" Lu Guifei didn't say anything more, she calmed down, and after a while, she said, "You go down and prepare first, tomorrow I will go to the Lu Jiayuan Mausoleum to see my mother." ”

"Well, then the old minister will retreat first!" Lu He agreed and retreated.

Lu Guifei looked at the back of him leaving, and there was a flash of murderous intent in her eyes.

What she didn't know was that at this moment, Lu He also had killing intent towards her.

Killing his wife is an obstacle to his career, and he is still killing a wife who is very helpful to him, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that his ending will really be as he guessed, exiled for 3,000 miles or beheaded.

The next day, Concubine Lu went to see Mu in the mausoleum of the Lu family.

She held Mu's coffin and cried bitterly for a long time, until she couldn't shed tears anymore, and then walked out with Wanhua's support.

When the two left the stone room, the stone door of the stone room, which weighed more than 1,000 catties, suddenly clicked, and then fell down without warning.

When Lu Guifei got up from the ground, what she saw was that Aunt Wanhua was covered in cold sweat with pain, her face was pale, and she couldn't speak at all.

"Wanhua, Wanhua......" she screamed, trying to hold her and help her pull her feet out, but Aunt Wanhua stopped her movements and said, "Niangniang, you don't care about the slave maid, you go out first, it is safe to go out, let the guards come to save the slave and maid......"

Lu Guifei heard the personal palace maid say this, she didn't know what to think, her face turned pale all of a sudden, and she looked at Aunt Wanhua fixedly and said, "You, what do you mean......"

Aunt Wanhua nodded vigorously, using her last strength, and said, "Niangniang, let's go, let's go-"

Under the urging of Aunt Wanhua, Lu Guifei finally let go of her in tears and ran outside.

Outside, Lu He and the guards in the palace stood in two teams, standing in the shade of the tree and waiting, seeing Lu Guifei running out in a hurry, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Niangniang, you came out, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu Guifei listened to Lu He's words, but ignored him, just glanced at him with resentment, and walked towards the head of the guards of Yilan Palace, and said, "Aunt Wanhua was smashed by the stone gate inside, you immediately bring someone in to rescue her!" ”

"Yes, sis!" The leader of the guards agreed, and the next moment, he pulled his legs and led people inside.

Lu He heard that Aunt Wanhua was smashed by the stone gate, so he reacted, why did Lu Guifei look at him with a resentful face, he frowned, looked at Lu Guifei, and said in a low voice, "Niangniang, what is going on inside, you don't think that the old minister wants to harm you, right?" ”

"Or else?" Lu Guifei's eyes widened, and she looked at him coldly and resentfully, "General Lu, it is said that tiger poison does not eat children, this palace really didn't expect that you would be ruthless to this extent!" ”

"Niangniang, you listen to the minister's explanation!" Lu He wanted to defend again, but Lu Guifei didn't give him a chance at all, and after the guards rescued Aunt Wanhua, she took her people to the outside of the cemetery, and didn't even return to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, so she went back to the palace directly.

Lu He looked at Lu Guifei's sedan chair and left without looking back, his eyes were gloomy, and he wished that the matter of Shimen was really done by him, and the province was responsible for nothing.

Lu Guifei worshiped her ancestors in the province, but the news that the palace maid was injured by the stone gate of the mausoleum soon spread throughout the capital, and everyone said, is there any grievance for the old lady in this mausoleum?

In the National Teacher's Mansion, Lu Nianjin also heard this, her eyes flashed, and the scene of Mu's death appeared in front of her again, and her breathing froze slightly.

Xiao Xun saw the changes in her eyes, he raised his hand, put her hand into his palm, and said, "Jin'er, none of this has anything to do with you. ”

"I know!" Lu Nianjin nodded, "None of them have anything to do with me, and I shouldn't take their death and injury to heart at all." By the way, did you reveal the matter of the Mu family to Lu Guifei? ”

Xiao Xun snorted.

Lu Nianjin paused for a moment, and then asked, "What happened to the stone gate that suddenly fell in the Lu family cemetery?" ”

"Have you seen Wanhua, the female official next to Lu Shaowei?" Xiao Xun didn't answer her question, but mentioned Aunt Wanhua.

Lu Nianjin nodded, "I have had a few encounters, and I look at him as a steady character." ”

"She used to have an older sister who was nine years older than her, named Picturesque. Ruhua is the first-class maid beside Mu's side, and Wanhua is the first-class maid beside Lu Shaowei, the two sisters are loyal and have a good relationship. Until an accident happened, Lu He forced a picturesque ...... after a drunken experience"

"And then?"

"Within two months, Ruhua died in the back house of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, one corpse and two lives, and he died without seeing it. Since then, Wanhua has hated Lu He, she has always wanted to avenge her sister, and after so many years, it has never changed. ”

"According to what you say, the stone door of the mausoleum suddenly fell today, was it Wanhua's hands and feet? The purpose is to attract Lu He and Lu Guifei's father and daughter to turn against each other. Lu Nianjin asked rhetorically.

Xiao Xun glanced at her deeply and said, "Wanhua is the person Lu Shaowei trusts the most, and only she can do these things, so Lu Shaowei will not be suspicious." ”
