During this period of time, Linlang had already given birth to a son a month ago, named Ling Yuanze. Now that Xiao Aze is full moon, he looks very small and looks like Ling Yuanhang when he was young, which is particularly likable. Linlang has begun to take care of the affairs of the house again. Aru is pregnant and concentrates on raising the baby at home.

After Ling Yuanhang and King Ling Jun left, Princess An suddenly visited the County King's Mansion, and after she and Linlang sat and chatted for a while, she said to Linlang: "Sister He, my mother is not in good health now, so I want our sisters to go back and spend more time with her." But you know, we have a big mess of things in King An's Mansion, and I really can't get away from it. I also know that my sister is just a noble concubine of General Ling, and it is a bit difficult for her to return to her parents' house. But Sister He and the princess are both generous people, so I took the liberty to ask my sister to go home and live for a few days here today, and I also asked Sister He and the princess to agree to this matter on my thin face. ”

Linlang glanced at Yaru, who was sitting next to her, and said, "Since Princess An has proposed it, let Aunt Xu take Brother An back to live with Mrs. Xu for a while." ”

Princess An said to Aunt Xu, who was sitting next to her, "Third sister, don't you hurry up and thank you to the princess and the princess." ”

Miss Xu San obediently came over to thank her: "Thank you, princess, thank you, sister." When my mother is well, I will come back with Brother An. ”

Linlang and Yaru just nodded at her, but neither of them spoke.

Princess An looked at the attitude of the two housewives of the Junwang Mansion towards her sister, and laughed in her heart, and she didn't know how her sister got mixed up in the mansion, and she got mixed to this point. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law showed that they obviously didn't care and didn't want to see each other, and they weren't afraid that their princess An would know.

After the matter was done, Princess An didn't have much to stay, because she and the two housewives of the county king's mansion really had nothing to talk about, so she got up and said goodbye and left with Aunt Xu and Brother An.

When leaving, the old lady actually came out of her own yard, and she was a little reluctant to see this little great-grandson that she could see every day.

Ju Xiang looked back at her smaller and smaller shadow, and laughed in her heart, how would this confused and unclear old lady deal with herself if she knew An'er's life experience?

The southern flood caused the refugees in the capital to come day by day, the prince was sick, the emperor was also sick, and King An thought that his father had to let him, the eldest son of the emperor, come to supervise the country. But what disappointed him was that the emperor still handled big things by himself. The excerpts were transmitted back and forth by the great eunuch Li Cheng every day.

During the period when the emperor was sick, the queen has been taking care of the emperor by his side, and of course, when the concubines with sons and daughters came to visit, sometimes the emperor could also see them.

Of course, King An sometimes went to visit the emperor and the crown prince, but every time he couldn't see his younger brother of the prince, and he didn't know how serious he was. However, looking at the sad faces of the queen and the crown princess, you know that the prince is really sick. As for his father, King An felt that his father's face was pale and blue, and sometimes he coughed for a long time. So all this made King An secretly happy in his heart, and he was more sure in his heart.

The government has erected porridge shacks to provide food rations for the refugees.

The emperor has sent the Imperial Forest Army to maintain order in the capital, and has designated some places in the capital as temporary shelters for refugees.

In the prince's mansion outside the palace, the prince, who people thought was too sick to get out of bed, was sitting in a room in good spirits. Opposite him sat Cui Ji and a young man, this young man was the Feng Gongzi who Yaru had seen listening to books in the teahouse with Qian Jiang.

Feng Gongzi's name is Feng Tong, and he is the nephew of General Feng, the general of the Northwest Border Guard, and the Feng family has been a military general for generations, so Feng Gongzi naturally knows kung fu. He has always been the prince's person, and he has always been on the prince's orders to inquire about some things outside, for example, now he is reporting to the prince about the situation outside: "There are about 1,000 refugees from outside, and they are still going to the city. At present, the porridge and steamed buns provided by the government's several porridge shops are still sufficient, but if the number of refugees continues to increase, the supply may not be available. However, since yesterday, the Pingwang Mansion has opened a porridge shed to support the government, and I heard that a few more have been opened today. He looked at Cui Ji and said, "Your family and the county king's mansion have also set up porridge sheds. ”

Cui Ji nodded and said he understood. The matter of the two porridge sheds was discussed between Ah Ning and the princess of the county.

The crown prince was very happy, and he said with a smile on his face: "How is the resettlement of the refugees, and how is the Imperial Forest Army doing?"

Feng Tong was happy: "Prince, this idea of yours is really good, now according to what you said, there are still men in the family, so they will be placed in one place." If there are no men, they will be placed together with single women with old people or children, and the rest will be single men, so it is obvious. The people who really came to take refuge were all yellow-skinned and full of sorrow. There are also some people who are mixed in with the refugees, but they have never starved. These people are specially 'taken care of'. ”

"How many of these people are there?" asked Cui Ji.

"About three or four hundred. Feng Tong said.

Cui Ji said to the prince: "My father-in-law once said. Don't let too many of these people in, or lock the gates from tomorrow. Let the old, the sick, the sick, the women, and the children come in, and let the single men be placed outside the city gates. ”

The prince said approvingly: "Okay, just do it, let Jing Zhaoyin send a notice and post it at the gate of the city, and now the weather is not cold." It's raining, and it's fine as long as there's a tent. The government went to the city gate twice a day to give them porridge and steamed buns, and the porridge could be thickened. ”

Cui Ji said again: "If I am not mistaken, the person who is in charge of the city gate now should be the concubine of the Qian family, Qian Jiang, right?

Feng Tong said: "I am quite familiar with that Qianjiang, that person has no scheming, he just loves a little money, and he is righteous enough." ”

Cui Ji said again: "What is the relationship between Qian Jiang and his eldest brother, did Qian Lin get him in when he arrived at the city gate?"

Feng Tong thought for a while and said: "Speaking of this, I still remembered, and it was strange to say, this Qianjiang mixed well in the Imperial Forest Army, and now he is also a general of the fourth grade, but you said that this Qianjiang has been guarding the city gate for six years, and he didn't say to change him to a better position." It stands to reason that this is not difficult for Qian Lin, right?"

The prince's eyes flashed and he said, "Did Qian Jiang say what he thought?"

Feng Tong said: "He usually likes to take me to drink a little wine when he sees me, but I heard him say that he doesn't want to guard the city gate every day, but Qian Lin just won't change it for him." ”

The prince thought, should this be said that Qian Lin really wanted to hone his cousin, or did he put Qian Jiang in such a place and had other plans? Qian Lin was the son-in-law of the Wei family and the uncle of King An. This person really can't be unguarded. So the prince said: "Qian Jiang is Qian Lin's younger brother, and Qian Lin is the son-in-law of the Wei family." How do you transfer this person Qian Jiang from the city gate?"

Cui Ji and Feng Tong both understood, the two glanced at each other, and Cui Ji said: "You can't transfer it at this time, this will startle the snake, and now you can only think of other ways to make Qianjiang unable to go to work." ”

The prince looked at Feng Tong, the heads of people who can be around the prince are not chaff, Feng Tong is so clever, he immediately understood like an initiation: "Okay, leave this matter to me, I'll do it." ”

The crown prince and Cui Ji looked at him and smiled.

The next day, a notice was posted at the city gate, and single men over the age of fifteen who had no way to guide the capital were not allowed to enter the capital, and were only allowed to be placed at the city gate.

So many men were blocked from the city gates. Of course, many of these people were unwilling, they also scolded and made trouble, but after all, they couldn't resist the group of royal guards who were even more arrogant than them. So I had to stay outside and wait for the opportunity to move.

This hand of the imperial court caught the Wei family and King An off guard, they felt that it was time to use Qian Jiang, but unfortunately Qian Jiang went to get drunk with his friends when he went home from duty at night, and as a result, he was knocked off his horse and broke his calf when he went back. This news is really a house leak for King An and them, and it is raining.

King An said to Concubine Shu: "Mother, you said, did my father and emperor notice something, why did there be such a coincidence? As soon as the announcement was issued, the line at the city gate was cut off for me. Did our insiders leak some news?"

Concubine Shu was calmer than her son, she thought for a long time before she said: "This is not very likely, do you think, knowing that we have troops outside the city only your two uncles and your uncle, they can't betray you, I can only say that all this is really a coincidence." ”

King An muttered, "Does God think that I should not take this position, so he wants to use this method to stop me?"

Concubine Shu said: "This is just an accident, they can't enter the city gate, and your uncle's house has a tunnel leading to the outside of the city." ”

King An was pleasantly surprised: "Mother, is it true? I have never heard you talk to your uncle. ”

Concubine Shu pointed her finger at the door of his head and said, "Didn't I tell you now, it's just that the tunnel is a little narrow, and only some people can come in." ”

King An said: "Anyway, they didn't enter the capital at the same time, as long as they came in on the night of our incident." This matter is settled. ”

Concubine Shu nodded and smiled: "Then you and your uncle should make good arrangements." ”

King An said again: "My father's health seems to be better, when is Concubine Yan going to act?"

Concubine Shu said: "Your father and the emperor are not far from Li Cheng, and the queen has always been there, she has begged to see her twice, but your father has not seen her." ”

King An said: "If you let her take Wang'er there, my father will definitely be able to see her." This matter can be worked on Wang'er. Wang'er is now two years old and can be called his father. Although the body is a little weaker, this can make my father love me even more. If that doesn't work, think of something else. ”

As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his body and said, "I think she may not be able to bear her father, who is his husband after all." You let her use this medicine, this medicine can only make my father's body weak, but it can't kill him, as long as my father writes an abdication letter, I will give him an antidote immediately. As soon as I get to that position, I'll take revenge on her right away. ”

Concubine Shu took the small bottle and shook it again. She looked at her son and said, "An'er, you must be careful. ”

King An nodded, then took his leave and left.
