The next day, the old lady's third brother, Mr. Wu San, and his wife came to the county king's mansion. The third lady cried when she saw the old lady, and kept begging the old lady to save Wu Furong's life.

The old lady sighed and said, "I always thought that Fleur was a good boy, but I was blind and wanted to marry her to Zhi'er." It was I who was blind and harmed my daughter-in-law Changxing, and I was sorry for my sons, grandsons and granddaughters. Now with such an ending, my old face feels that I have no face to see my grandson and granddaughter, how can you ask me to ask Zhi'er's family to let Furong go. The old lady said and tears began to fall.

The old lady really said it from her heart, since she knew that it was Wu Furong who killed the county lord of Changxing, the old lady fell into deep remorse. I resented Zhi'er because she didn't marry Furong, and I didn't like Changxing's children. So much so that until now, Zhi'er and himself are not close, and Hang'er and Ah Ning are not close to themselves.

If it weren't for her own stubbornness, the eldest daughter-in-law would not have been poisoned at such a young age. Thinking that Zhi'er was determined to take a pair of young children away from his side, he went to the border at a young age, and lived in his grandfather's house at a young age. How distrustful of oneself is that.

Now it seems that this is all my own fault, and it is all my own fault. The old lady's bowels are about to repent. Now I see my younger brother and younger siblings pleading, how can I still have an old face to beg in the face of my eldest son.

Master Wu San and his wife touched a nail at his sister's place, so he went to his nephew to intercede. When they arrived at King Lingjun's side, the two of them were about to kneel.

King Ling Jun's eyes were quick, and he held the arms of the two of them one by one, stopping the behavior of the two. Jokes, how can there be elders kowtowing to younger generations, spread out, outsiders are not sure how to say that the king of the county treats his uncle and aunt harshly.

Ling Yuanhang had a lot of strength, he grabbed the arms of the two of them and sent the two of them to the sitting, and said respectfully: "Uncle and aunt, what are you doing, sit down." Then he hurriedly asked people to serve tea, and the etiquette was particularly thoughtful.

The third aunt came up and cried and begged: "Yuanzhi, you have a lot of adults, let your cousin go this time." ”

King Ling Jun sneered: "Uncle, what Wu Furong made this time is not an ordinary mistake, her hands are my wife's life, you can bring Changxing back to life, I will let her go." ”

The third uncle is not a person who can talk, and when he saw that his wife was crying breathlessly, he suddenly became a little angry in his heart, so he said: "Then if you had married her, wouldn't there be no such thing." ”

King Ling Jun originally knew that the third uncle and his wife were not smart people, otherwise they would not have raised a willful daughter like Wu Furong, but he didn't expect the third uncle to be so stupid, and he was still angry with him at this time.

King Ling Jun looked at the third uncle's chubby face and said coldly, "The third uncle didn't take care of his daughter well, but did he complain about his nephew?"

The third aunt was not as confused as the third uncle, and as soon as her husband said something like that just now, she felt that it was inappropriate. My family is here to intercede for my daughter, how can I anger others?" she hurriedly said: "Yuan Zhi, your uncle can't speak, I'll make amends for him." ”

Ling Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Third uncle, I still have important things to do, so I won't leave you here to eat." Besides, Wu Furong is the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and you can't ask me. Abei, send-off. With that, he turned and went out.

Master Wu San and his wife had no choice but to go to Jiang's house again.

In the evening, the Jiang family sent news that Wu Furong had suddenly become seriously ill since yesterday, and the doctor said that it was an incurable disease.

Sure enough, three days later, the Jiang family came to report the funeral, and Wu Furong died of a serious illness. Moreover, the old lady of the Jiang family also divorced her on the pretext that she had a bad disease, and she was not allowed to enter the ancestral grave of the Jiang family, so she only found a place to bury her hastily.

Half a month later, Ling Lin also recovered her health. Then, when Linlang went to greet the old lady again, she found that the old lady had obviously lost weight, and her attitude was much kinder than before, and she could let Niuniu sit next to her and coax her to play. It's just that Niuniu sat for a while and hurried down, she was too unfamiliar with the old lady.

Xiao Wu could only sigh for his aunt beside him. But in any case, the old lady's change is also a great improvement.

King Lingjun took his son and daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law to pay tribute to the county lord of Changxing again. After the old prince and his wife of the Ping Wangfu knew the truth of the matter, they scolded the old lady for being confused, and the old princess cried and her daughter was pitiful and sick again.

Time is still passing, and the days have to go forward. People are busy again.

It's the Spring Festival again, and Princess Wu is already five months pregnant. Miss Xu San came to stay in King An's Mansion from time to time, but it was not long, and she went home after staying for two days.

There is also good news from the crown princess, she is also three months pregnant.

There is another happy event for the royal family, that is, after the Spring Festival, the royal will be drafted, and I heard that there will be a side concubine for the crown prince and King An.

In the tunnels in the palace of the Marquis of Huaiyuan, Wei Zhonghai asked Hadur: "You went to see King An?"

Hadur said, "Yes, I told him everything." You're just too cowardly, wouldn't it be better for him to know something sooner or later?"

Wei Zhonghai said with a gloomy face: "Before you do anything in the future, tell me one last time." In addition, I warn you again, in the future, you should not go out without permission, the people I give you are trustworthy people, and if there is anything they can do, otherwise I will withdraw them. ”

"Good, good, good," Hadur said quickly, "I will listen to you, and I will not go out in the future." "Joke, he can rely on the people given by Wei Zhonghai to serve him.

Recently, King An has not been in a good mood, after he knew that he had the blood of Warat in his blood. After he went to Concubine Shu to confirm the news, he was panicked.

Concubine Shu looked at her son with a worried face and comforted him, saying, "There is nothing to be afraid of, your father does not know about this. No one will say anything about it either. ”

King An said with blank eyes: "This matter will not be covered sooner or later, once this matter comes out, as long as there is any change in Wara, our opponent will splash the dirty water of suspicion on me." I can't sit still like that. ”

Concubine Shu looked at her son worriedly and asked, "Then what do you want?"

King An froze for a moment, and his eyes looked at his mother concubine fixedly: "Mother concubine, I know that you want me to be a good son of my father, you don't want me to be ambitious." But mother, you have also seen that the situation is pressing, if I don't fight, even if my father doesn't care about the relationship between Warat and us. But after the crown prince succeeds to the throne, I may be the first person he will deal with, and my background is a good excuse for him to get rid of me. ”

Concubine Shu's heart was pounding: "King An, are you sure you want to fight for that position?"

King An said categorically: "Yes, I want to fight for that position." ”

In fact, Concubine Shu has always known that King An has been cultivating his own power in the past two years. In King An's consciousness, he may not have obvious thoughts of fighting for that position, but in the case that King An himself doesn't know, he is actually already preparing for his future. Otherwise, he would not have been able to contact the people of the county king's mansion in a deliberate manner. Now it's just a very good excuse for him to fight for that position.

King An looked at the worried face of the concubine and comforted her: "Don't worry, concubine, we are stronger than the prince, you see, we have the support of our uncle." The uncle is now the secretary of the ministry, and he has the prerequisites for arranging officials, and his younger uncle Qian Lin serves in the Imperial Forest Army. And the prince's maternal family has no power at all, and the newly married princess has no power. Rest assured, we don't rely on Warat, and I won't do treason. I'm going to use our own strength to get to that position. ”

Concubine Shu knew that she had no way to persuade him anymore, so she said to him firmly: "King An, then what do you want Concubine Mu to do for you?"

King An thought for a while and said: "Mother, I really want to bring the county prince's mansion over now, you know that there are several families behind the county king's mansion that have a pivotal position in the court; His son, Ling Yuanhang, served in the West Daying. Now that the position of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace is vacant, I think there is a good chance that your emperor will give this important position to Ling Yuanhang. In addition, Master Ling San has always been stationed at the border pass. If I can win them over, I'll not be afraid of anything. ”

Concubine Shu sighed and said, "King An, you are also thinking too simply, King Lingjun and his son are not people you can win over if you want to, they are the emperor's people." They don't need money, and they don't get close to women, so how do you go about wooing them?"

King An looked at his mother with longing and said, "Mother, this requires you to come out, as long as you help me do one thing, we are very likely to bring the county king's mansion over." ”

Concubine Shu asked suspiciously, "King An, what do you need your mother to help you do?"

So King An told Concubine Shu about his plan, and Concubine Shu listened to her son's words, while her eyes opened wider and wider, and when her son finished speaking, she hesitated and said, "Can this work?

King An patted his mother's shoulder and said, "Mother, haven't you heard a word, it's called non-toxic and not a husband." ”

On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the emperor will feast guests in the palace. Because the emperor wants to draft a draft girl after the Spring Festival, and King An and the crown prince have not yet determined the candidate for the next concubine. Therefore, as long as everyone in the capital is qualified to attend the palace banquet, they all regard this as an opportunity to rely on their daughter to advance.

And the women of these families in the capital also cherish such an opportunity, and many of them want to take such an opportunity to soar to the sky. So during this period of time, the large and small cloth villages and jewelry stores in the capital are busy and full. Everyone wants to dress up their daughter, and it's best to let your own girl dominate the audience at the banquet.

Princess An's maiden family, Xu Shilang's family, was also very busy, and they originally wanted to give their daughter to King An as a side room, but King An has not replied for several months. Now that there is a banquet in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, Princess An specially sent clothes and jewelry, and asked Mrs. Xu to take Miss Xu into the palace for the banquet.
