Ling Lan's child was eventually gone.

On a rainy night, the fetus had been saved, but somehow, it suddenly hemorrhaged, almost without giving people a chance to react, and it was such a miscarriage.

Ling Lan's cries and the sound of rain were intertwined, making people's hearts irritable, Fang Zhiyuan had always been by Ling Lan's side, carefully coaxing.

Fang Zhiyuan blamed all the faults on himself, if it weren't for that day, their children would definitely come to this world safely.

Fang Mu looked at his dejected appearance, sighed, and was about to leave, when she saw the bracelet that was placed next to the pillow, she was curious, took it in her hand and fiddled with it, and many pills fell out of the bracelet.

After the house doctor checked it, he thought that Ling Lan's miscarriage was inseparable from the pill.

The bracelet was given by Ling Chuchu himself.

Master Fang was not angry in his heart, Ling Lan was the first of the Fang family's grandchildren in her belly, and she attached great importance to it.

Master Fang immediately rushed into the Zhennan Palace, wanting to dispose of Ling Chuchu with his own hands.

At this time, Ling Chuchu had already slept, and Ling Hongyuan stopped Taishi Fang in the front hall: "It's so late, Taishi has something?" ”

The two of them didn't deal with each other in the court, but now that Fang Taishi led people to rush into the palace, for the king of Zhennan, this was a direct slap in his face.

didn't care what things were like, he just refused to let Master Fang take another step.

"Get out of the way!"

Ling Hongyuan held the teacup in his hand, grabbed Master Fang, and easily let Master Fang sit down in his position: "If you have something to say, rush in with someone, if you make me unhappy to fight, Taishi shouldn't be an opponent, right?" ”

One is a military general who is crawling and rolling on the battlefield, and the other is a civilian official who is powerless, and he doesn't need to use his hands at all.

"Your daughter killed my grandson, if you are unreasonable, I will ask the emperor to decide."

Ling Hongyuan gave Xu Dong a look, asked him to invite Ling Chuchu to come out, and as soon as he walked out of the front hall, he saw Ling Chuchu appear unhurriedly, and gave Xu Dong a reassuring look.

"Say hello to Master Fang."

Ling Chuchu's expression was very confused, he looked at the room full of minions, and asked, "It's a big night, what's wrong?" ”

Knowing what happened, Ling Chuchu sighed and said, "The bracelet was sent by Aunt Gu to her daughter, what's the problem?" ”

Master Fang slapped the bracelet on the table, the bracelet was released, and the inside turned out to be hollow: "See for yourself, if there is a problem!" ”

Ling Chuchu didn't care at all: "Since this is the case, please ask Aunt Gu to come over to see what the situation is, my daughter just handed it over on my behalf, I really don't know what's going on." ”

It is true that the bracelet was sent by Aunt Gu, but the contents of the bracelet were secretly packed in by Aunt Gu after the fact.

But Aunt Gu didn't expect that when Ling Chuchu handed it over to Ling Lan, in front of everyone, the government doctor of the Fang Mansion would check it.

Aunt Gu appeared with tears on her face again: "My poor daughter, ......"

Aunt Gu knelt on the ground, her clothes changed to her usual luxurious style, she was dressed very plainly, and slowly wiped the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief: "Lord Wang, the bracelet was indeed given by the concubine, at that time, the concubine was grounded by the prince because of her mistakes, and the servants in the courtyard couldn't move around at will, so she got rid of the county lord." But the things in the bracelet, the concubine really doesn't know what's going on, Lan Lan is the daughter of the concubine, how can the concubine be ......"

Speaking of sadness, it was another bitter cry.

Aunt Gu glanced at Ling Chuchu from time to time out of the corner of her eyes, and after defending herself first, she whispered: "Lan Lan was on the scene before, and now this matter is ...... County Lord, you don't have anything to say? ”

Fang Zhiyuan raised his head suddenly, and just collided with Ling Chuchu's smiling eyes: "What my aunt said, it seems that the fifth sister's miscarriage has something to do with me?" That day, I went out with my fifth sister, and looked at the hairpins of the foot merchants, and as soon as I bought the hairpins, I saw Fang Sangongzi coming out of the yard with his sister in his arms, and I couldn't catch up if I wanted to......"

She played with the bracelet in her hand: "Besides, Aunt gave me the bracelet that day, and I went to the Fang Mansion with Sister Lan Ze, even if I want to do it, I don't have a chance, right?" ”

Ling Chuchu looked at Aunt Gu without the slightest fear.

After all, Aunt Gu was locked up and confined to Ling Chuchu, and she was not as relaxed about Ling Chuchu's whereabouts as before, so she was dumbfounded, but she still didn't give up, and whispered: "How do I know this, it's not me, it's not you, it can't be the people in the Fang Mansion who hurt Lan Lan?" ”

Aunt Gu said: "When that bracelet arrived next to Lan Lan, it was placed next to the pillow and never moved, how did the servants of the Fang Mansion know that it was hollow inside and could hold things?" ”

"yes, how do they know?"

Ling Chuchu asked with a smile, and strode to Aunt Gu's side: "I'm surprised, there are so many good things around my aunt, why do you choose a hollow one?" ”

The people present were instantly silent.

Everyone's eyes fell on Aunt Gu, and Aunt Gu said, "I...... How do I know, the county lord has said, there are so many things, how can I remember which one is hollow, and if I think it looks good, I will send it to Lan Lan, is there a problem? ”

"I don't even know my aunt, so how do I know?" Ling Chuchu's expression was very clear, that is, I had nothing to do with this matter, "Besides, when the bracelet was handed over to the fifth sister, the doctor of the Fang Mansion could check it in front of all the sisters, and there was no problem." ”

Master Fang hurriedly ordered someone to find the house doctor.

"Master Qiqi, the slave did check, and there was nothing in the hollow bracelet at that time." The house doctor told the truth, "Moreover, the medicine in the bracelet is fierce, and it should have been put in about two hours before the third lady gave birth." ”

Obviously, it was the people of the Fang Mansion who did it.

Ling Hongyuan sneered and looked at Master Fang: "How is it, does Master Fang still have any questions?" ”

Fang Taishi felt extremely embarrassed, and took people away with his fists.

And just after Master Fang left, Ling Hongyuan kicked Aunt Gu's heart: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, you slut!" ”

Aunt Gu fell to the ground, knelt at Ling Hongyuan's feet, and hugged Ling Hongyuan's feet: "Lord, it's really not a concubine, Lord, you must believe in the concubine, the concubine is not, Lan Lan is the daughter of the concubine, how can the concubine be ......"

Ling Hongyuan no longer listened to Aunt Gu's explanation, ordered someone to drag Aunt Gu away, and then looked at Ling Chuchu with a sad face, and said: "Gu is not thinking right, you should not participate in matters related to her in the future, so as not to cause a commotion." ”

"Yes."

When Taishi Fang led people back to Fang's Mansion, Ling Lan was waiting for the news that Ling Chuchu was being disposed of.

Unexpectedly, Master Fang directly ordered someone to tie up all the minions in Ling Lan's room, Ling Lan was so panicked that she wanted to get out of bed to look, but her body was too weak and she fell to the ground.

Fang Zhiyuan caught it, Ling Lan grabbed Fang Zhiyuan's hand: "What's wrong?" Why did the Taishi ......?"

Fang Zhiyuan told him about the matter in the Zhennan Palace, put Ling Lan back on the bed, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the county lord of Anguo, you have a good rest, and you can find out who harmed our children right away." ”

More than 20 minions, up and down, were all implicated.

Master Fang personally took action, and came in turn, one person and one board: "As long as you tell who it is, this Taishi will let you go, otherwise, you will all be beaten to death!" ”

The screams came and went, just putting something in the bracelet, such a small thing, even if they worked together every day, it was difficult to care about such details.

When the twentieth board went down, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Taishi, I said, I said!" ”

Master Fang ordered someone to stop.

The slave only thought that he could save his life, and he didn't care if he would offend Ling Lan's personal maid if he said this: "Since the third lady entered the mansion, the servants in the courtyard have been cautious, and the lady's room, we inferior servants can't enter at all, let alone what is in the bracelet, we don't even know that the county lord gave the third lady a bracelet, how can it be ......"

The man's words were echoed by the people.

"Yes, Taishi, the third lady is very careful, only let a few personal maids get close, we don't have this kind of opportunity at all."

There was a cold sweat on Erya's forehead.

Er Ya followed Ling Lan from Zhennan Wangfu to Fang Taishi's Mansion, and was the first to rush out and said, "I have always been by Madame's side, how could I do that kind of thing, don't spew blood!" ”

As he spoke, he saw another maid kneeling beside him, a big girl sent by Fang Fu, and said, "It's her, it must be her." The slave saw her sneaking around her in the afternoon of the same day, and the slave and the maid told the lady that the lady believed her, who knows......"

Xiaojiu's eyes widened, and before he could defend himself, he was dragged aside and messed around.

It just so happened that at this time, Ling Lan went out with the support of Fang Zhiyuan, Xiaojiu shouted that she was wronged, but she heard Ling Lan say: "Erya followed me in the palace, and she would never harm me, and she did tell me that afternoon that Xiaojiu's behavior was abnormal, but I can't be sure that this matter was done by Xiaojiu, and I asked the Taishi to find out." ”

Xiaojiu looked at Ling Lan in shock.

From the time Erya wronged her to the time she was beaten to death, she only said a word of wrongdoing, and then closed her eyes forever.

The sky gradually brightened, and Fang Taishi and Fang Zhiyuan hurried to the morning court.

The originally noisy courtyard suddenly quieted down, Ling Lan leaned on the bed, watched Er Ya come in with fruit, and roared: "Kneel!" ”

The second girl was so frightened that she trembled: "Miss, it was my aunt who asked the slave maid to put the medicine in the bracelet, saying that she wanted to frame the county lord and the slave maid...... Please reprimand, Miss—"

"You...... You! Ling Lan gasped, "When Ling Chuchu asked the house doctor to confirm that the bracelet was asked, you were at the scene, put things in, and couldn't move her at all, why didn't you know how to use your brain?!" ”

Erya knelt on the ground and nodded again and again: "But auntie...... Miss, you also know your belly, aunt she has always disagreed with you giving birth to the child, so ......"

Ling Lan's hand unconsciously touched her stomach, closed her eyes slightly, and sighed: "It's okay if the child is gone, if it's gone, I don't have to be scared all day long......

Ling Lan lay on the bed, "You get up, remember to use your brain before doing things in the future, do you hear?" ”

The room gradually fell silent.

And Fang Zhiyuan, who was standing under the porch, stumbled, almost didn't stand firmly, leaned against the wall, and walked out one by one, without alarming any of the minions in the courtyard.

When Lu Qingran knew this, it was already noon the next day, he hurried to Tinghe Courtyard, Ling Chuchu had just woken up, moved a chair and sat under the cloister, eating pastries.

Yuan Qin wanted to persuade Ling Chuchu to eat less, but when she saw Lu Qingran coming, she retreated with interest.

"Miss."

Ling Chuchu followed his gaze and unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth: "Why are you here?" ”

"Come and see you." Lu Qingran moved a chair and sat down beside her, "Master Lu told me that he came to the palace two days ago to confirm the wedding date of you and me. ”

Ling Chuchu grabbed the hand of the pastry for a moment, quickly recovered, and asked, "Why haven't I heard about it, what day is it set?" ”

Lu Qingran shook his head, "Undecided." ”

Ling Hongyuan was reluctant to be Ling Chuchu's daughter.

wants to use this daughter to win over the DPRK-China relationship, and is unwilling to admit the marriage with the Lu family at all.

But the previous request for the dissolution of the marriage contract was suppressed by the emperor, and Ling Hongyuan had no excuse, so he could only delay it again and again, hoping that the Lu family would take the initiative to speak.

"People like Ling Hongyuan, their daughters are all chess pieces, and I am the most useful one, how can they let me out of the house so easily." Ling Chuchu raised his eyebrows, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Lu Qingran bowed his head and was silent.

Ling Chuchu inadvertently threw out a question: "Don't you think that the marriage between Ling Lan and Fang Zhiyuan is a bit scary?" ”

Fang Taishi and Ling Hongyuan were clearly opposed, even if something like that happened and they had to get married, Ling Hongyuan didn't ask for some benefits from Fang Taishi, how could he let go so easily.

"You mean, the two of them ......"

Ling Chuchu nodded, "Last night, Master Fang brought the soldiers to the door, I thought that Ling Hongyuan would join him today, but there was nothing, it was too abnormal." ”

Lu Qingran fell into deep thought.

Grabbing Ling Chuchu's hand and rubbing it.

The two of them sat under the cloister, waiting for the sun to rise and the sun to move away from their bodies little by little.

"Then our marriage must be advanced." Lu Qingran's expression was solemn, "I rejected Gao Lanze as the queen, and the Empress Dowager Gao is particularly concerned about my movements, I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night." ”

Ling Chuchu nodded, "Of course I agreed a long time ago, but Second Young Master Lu, you have to find a way to move the King of Zhennan to nod." ”

Lu Qingran's gaze moved down Ling Chuchu's body, and finally stopped on his stomach: "Why don't we get a child out, so that you have to marry if you don't marry, and King Zhennan can't stop it at all." ”

Ling Chuchu slapped Lu Qingran on the head: "Think beautiful!" Second Young Master Lu, even if we get married in the future, it will be fake, a child or something, it will not appear. ”

Lu Qingran's expression darkened.

Mo Ling Chuchu's right hand also stopped, was silent for a long time, and said, "I know it's fake." ”

"Then you still ......"

"The sweetheart of Wei Zimo, the prince of Huainan, has been pregnant for more than a month, and the king of Huainan said that he would beat the woman to death, so Wei Zimo hid her in the Lu Mansion."

Ling Chuchu looked at Lu Qingran tentatively, and suddenly smiled: "Wei Zimo? Nine Gate Admiral Wei Zimo?! ”

Lu Qingran nodded.

"Could it be the illegitimate son of Second Young Master Lu, lie to me that it's Wei Zimo's, right?"

Ling Chuchu stood up from his position and didn't look at Lu Qingran at all, Lu Qingran panicked and grabbed her hand: "Chu Chu, I didn't lie to you, you ...... me"

saw Ling Chuchu pick up a small pillow and put it on his abdomen: "So big? ”

There was a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, and seeing Lu Qingran's nervous appearance, she couldn't help laughing: "Have you arranged it?" When did I start pregnant? ”

"When the time comes, I'll send someone to inform you."

Since Xu Jia took over the palace of the palace, the palace has quickly stepped on the right track, seeing that winter is about to pass, and the fiftieth birthday of Ling Hongyuan, the king of Zhennan, is also approaching.

Such a good opportunity is naturally a big deal.

Xu Jia spent a day determining the number of people to be invited to the banquet, and then specially ordered someone to invite the final famous troupe in Beijing, and I don't know what method was used, saying that the princess would appear on the day of the birthday banquet.

In the eyes of the ladies of the capital, Princess Zhennan's appearance is much more interesting than King Zhennan's birthday banquet.

And whether Aunt Gu can lift the grounding depends on this opportunity.

Mama Liu is helping Aunt Gu take care of her skin, although she is grounded, but after all, she used to be the de facto hostess of the palace, Xu Jia is mellow everywhere, and she has never been harsh on anything that she eats and wears.

"Auntie, this time you must restrain your temper and coax the prince well, the prince has an aunt in his heart, and he will definitely let the aunt out."

Aunt Gu held her hair in her hands, nodded with a smile, remembering the happy time with Ling Hongyuan when she was young, and she was even more proud: "That's natural, when the prince was still a hairy boy, he saw that I couldn't walk, and now he definitely can't escape from the palm of my hand." ”

Mama Liu secretly took out a bottle of medicine, stuffed it into Aunt Gu's hand, and whispered about the effect of the medicine, Aunt Gu lowered her head shyly, saying that it was not good, but she squeezed the medicine tightly in the palm of her hand.

The day before the birthday feast.

The family sat together for dinner, Xu Jia said: "Lord Wang, tomorrow's birthday banquet, let's let Aunt Gu come out, after all, she has always been walking around in the past in the various families in Beijing, and she will have a ...... tomorrow."

Ling Hongyuan didn't want to mention Aunt Gu, waved his hand, put down the bowl and prepared to leave the table first.

Xu Jia didn't give up, and even directly blocked Ling Hongyuan's way, showing a very frightened look: "Lord Wang, after all, the concubine is the first time to be in charge, and many things are always afraid of not doing well, Aunt Gu has been grounded, in case those ladies ask tomorrow, the concubine is ......."

"Cowardice!" Ling Hongyuan snorted coldly, "You are the side concubine of this king, they look down on you, they just look down on the Zhennan Palace, what is there to be afraid of?!" ”

Xu Jia swallowed.

kneeling on the ground and still unwilling to move: "Then, Aunt Gu's side ......"

Ling Hongyuan walked past her and walked out: "You go and say." ”

Xu Jia shouted, and his voice raised a lot: "After all, Aunt Gu was the prince's sweetheart, and the prince's ruthlessness will make the sisters feel cold." ”

Ling Hongyuan's footsteps paused.

originally planned to go back to the study, but immediately turned around and went to Aunt Gu's yard.

Ling Chuchu walked to Xu Jia's side: "Aunt Xu, this is ......"

Xu Jia snorted coldly: "The surname Gu wants to take this opportunity to come out, so she also needs to have this ability!" ”

Ling Chuchu didn't understand what Xu Jia meant, and obviously took the initiative to let Ling Hongyuan go to Aunt Gu's yard, shouldn't it be easier for Aunt Gu to lift the grounding?

Ling Hongyuan played with the jade pendant on his waist.

While walking, thinking about Xu Jia's words just now, he recalled the gentle Aunt Gu in his mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Aunt Gu sitting in the courtyard, singing in a low voice the outdated singing passages in Beijing.

Mama Liu reminded that Aunt Gu was still shocked in her eyes, and slowly stood up: "Lord? ”

Ling Hongyuan nodded.

Aunt Gu burst into tears in an instant, rushing in front of Ling Hongyuan, but slowly stopped, and there was a step between the two.

Aunt Gu wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and saw Ling Hongyuan open her arms, so she cried and hugged her: "Lord Wang, I thought you didn't want to be a concubine—"

Ling Hongyuan's heart softened instantly.

Those things that happened a while ago, he thought that Gu Tian had changed, but now it seems that Gu Tian, who was crispy and soft, and was bent on him, was still there.

The two leaned together and said something, Aunt Gu was clamoring to cook herself, and Ling Hongyuan stood at the door of the small kitchen, looking at Aunt Gu's back with a smile.

Mama Liu retreated very early and left the space for the two of them.

After dinner, Ling Chuchu was called to his side by Gu Tian, and he didn't say anything, just drank tea and talked about some messy things.

"Aunt Xu has something to say to me."

Xu Jia nodded and glanced at the hour through the window: "Wait." ”

In Ling Chuchu's memory, the original owner had no impression of Xu Jia, he was almost a person who had been invisible in the palace, and now he suddenly appeared, which was indeed shocking.

"I know what you're thinking." Xu Jia said, "I'm not helping you, I'm helping the princess." ”

"The princess is the real mistress of the princess, Gu is very close, someone must come out to teach a lesson." Xu Jia was confident, "She, a little minion of the palace, is not worthy of letting the princess do it herself!" ”

Seeing the moon gradually rising, the moonlight shone into the room through the doors and windows.

And the servant who had been guarding the gate of the palace rushed in: "Aunt Xu, someone is here in the palace." ”

Empress Dowager Gao has a hidden disease, and on this day every year, she will get sick.

This year has been particularly severe.

Mama Xu Jiaming took out the official uniform that had been prepared a long time ago, sorted out the clothes and skirts on her body, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes instantly, and she rushed to Aunt Gu's courtyard: "Lord, it's not good-"

Whether Aunt Gu can lift the grounding depends on today.

Mama Liu stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched, and when she saw Xu Jia leading people over, she refused to open the door no matter what.

Xu Jia didn't break through, holding the official uniform in his hand, and knelt down directly at the gate of the courtyard.

Xu Jia was waiting, waiting for the prince to come out of Aunt Gu's room satisfied; Waiting for the moonlight to get thicker, waiting for the sun to shine high, the longer the time dragged on, the heavier Ling Hongyuan's anger became.

Ling Chuchu knelt beside Xu Jia: "Since the matter is urgent, why don't you rush in?" ”

Xu Jia sneered: "Since I decided to play a cowardly side concubine, then everything must be focused on the prince, even if I have a lot of power, I am too cowardly to clash with the behemoth." ”

"Ling Chuchu, as the county lord of Anguo, what kind of person do you want to play? If you decide, then always remember your own personality, no matter when, you can't collapse. ”

"Only in this way can what you say be believed, and you can eat other people's territory little by little."

Ling Chuchu knelt on the ground, pondering.
