Generally speaking, even if it is not out of humanitarianism, the innkeeper will never want anything to happen in his store, otherwise it will easily affect the future business, not to mention that it is still such a cold day, and production needs to be paid special attention.

Seeing Su Lian's soft and weak posture, and hearing Xu Rulie say that the child was not full-term, the innkeeper was even more angry and worried, and naturally he tried his best to arrange the delivery.

It was the first time for Xu Rulie to run to such a remote place alone, and seeing the boss being so enthusiastic, he couldn't help but express his heartfelt thanks.

"Then thank you boss, please hurry up, as long as I can ensure that my wife and children are safe and sound, I will definitely thank you again."

"You're welcome, then son, you can accompany your wife first, let's go prepare hot water first."

The boss wrinkled his brows, one hand was busy wiping his sweat, and when he heard Su Lian's shouting on the bed, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy, said hello, and turned his head downstairs.

And Su Lian on the bed seemed to be waiting for these people to leave, and it was easy to seize this opportunity to be alone with Xu Rulie, her other hand also let go and held his palm, and tears suddenly burst out of her eyes inexplicably.

"Li'er, what's wrong with you? You bear with me, the doctor and the stable woman will come soon. When Xu Rulie saw this scene, he was immediately startled, thinking that Su Lian was too scared or in pain, so he hurriedly reached out to help her wipe away her tears.

Su Lian struggled and shook her head, let go of her hand, and held Xu Rulie's two hands in her hands in a daze.

"No, I have something to say to Your Highness, and please listen to me. Otherwise, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to tell His Highness in the future. ”

"Actually, during this time, I've been thinking about one thing in my mind, about my life experience, I'm afraid it's really like what Du Juan said, I really don't deserve His Royal Highness......"

Hearing this, Xu Rulie was shocked for a while and didn't know how to react. "Didn't you say that you were adopted by Master Su when you were very young, how could you still remember it?"

"And Lord Su has already admitted that you are his biological daughter, you don't have to say such things at all, I won't believe their nonsense."

"No, it's my father who admitted his mistake, I really ......" Su Lian shook her head, the pain in her stomach had already made him almost unable to speak coherently, but she still had to continue to insist that Xu Rulie couldn't understand.

"My mother, Qin Shuihe, His Royal Highness has also heard of it, and my father told me that he rescued my mother with two uncles, and later my mother and my biological father got married, and I am indeed the daughter of the Gao family."

"This," Xu Rulie listened, although he also thought that Su Lian's life experience was a little strange before, but now that he heard her say this, his head became even more confused.

"But even so, you are also the daughter of an imperial merchant, how can you have an identity that is not worthy of this."

Listen, it seems that this is indeed the case on the surface, but Su Lian smiled bitterly, it seems that things are not so simple.

It turned out that Qin Shuihe was not an ordinary disaster victim who fled, she was expelled because of the war when Nankang changed the dynasty.

That's why Su Lian saw the dotted emerald hairpin on Nankang's head on Su Jiao's head in the palace, and she reacted so strongly that she fainted directly. This can also be proved in the portrait of Qin Shuihe painted by Su Zhongshi.

Later, Qin Shuihe found a solid Gao Jingwei at home to marry, but he deliberately seduced Su Zhongshi on the wedding night, just to find a way out for himself.

Then Gao Jingwei was angry and moved to another place with Qin Shuihe and gave birth to Su Lian. In fact, if you correspond to the birth date between Su Lian and Su Jiao, you can judge that Qin Shuihe's deathbed words are false, but Su Zhongshi forcibly thinks so for his own wishful thinking.

These are nothing, and the most important thing is why Gao Jingwei and they moved not long ago, and a few years later, they encountered a tragedy of annihilation.

Su Lian shed tears, and concisely told Xu Rulie about the past she remembered and the things she deduced, especially when she talked about the reasons for the family's distress, her heart was even more painful.

"Actually, my family was not just because of which local snake was provoked, the person who came to destroy the door seems to have some relationship with my mother, listening to the accent, it seems that he is also from Nankang."

"I'm wondering if it's because my mother fled or provoked someone when she was in Nankang, I always felt that I was a miserable person, but I was innocent, but I didn't expect that my mother would be such a person." Speaking of this, Su Lian was even more sad and gasped several times before she could finish the rest of the words.

"My background is not clean, and I don't dare to trouble His Highness. But the child in my womb is His Highness's first child, and I don't want His Highness to be kept in the dark, so I specially told His Highness, and asked His Highness to choose, so as to spare the child's life, I am willing to leave alone to atone for my mother's sins. ”

"No, the sins of parents do not bring harm to children. Your mother's life is also quite bumpy, and it is inevitable that she will do some things that are incomprehensible to ordinary people to protect herself, which is also a last resort. ”

Xu Rulie also heard of these things for the first time, although Xu Rulie had a smooth life and had never been exposed to this kind of thing, he still had his own considerations. "You are still you, you are still my most cherished pity, I will not stretch out other prejudices against you because of this kind of thing."

Xu Rulie frowned, his eyes were full of distress for Su Lian, as in the past, there was no change. Su Lian's heart was moved and sad for a while, and her tears were wrapped in beads of sweat, and she had already wet a large piece of the pillow under her head.

"Your Highness,"

"Speaking of which, in fact, I should be sorry to you, if I could have met you earlier and noticed your emotions earlier, I wouldn't have let you wait for so long with these secrets alone."

"Don't worry, when you give birth to the child, we will go to your former home, there must be a reason for the matter of your mother, I will definitely find a way to give you and your mother-in-law the truth."

Xu Rulie's words were categorical, and his words were as warm as the temperature coming from his palm.

Tears had blurred Su Lian's eyes, Su Lian felt the determination from Xu Rulie, and all the uneasiness and emptiness in her heart were filled for a while, she lowered her chin and could only spit out this one word.

"Okay."

Su Lian supported so much strength, she had to tell Xu Rulie the truth, and she didn't know if she still had the energy to have children.

Soon, the doctor and Wen Po rushed over, both of them were experienced aunts, and Xu Rulie was more at ease. Hot water and the necessary medicine were also brought into the room, but Xu Rulie, like the other men, was kicked out of the door and had to wait outside.

Xu Rulie and the others were anxious, after all, Su Lian's words just now were not so much a confession, but more like his last words before he died, which was really unlucky.

But no matter how anxious he was, Xu Rulie didn't dare to disturb Wen Po's movements, and when he heard the screams inside, Xu Rulie almost felt Su Lian's pain.

Then, after about an hour, a terrible baby cry pierced the sky, and there was silence again.

As for the palace, although Xu Rulie's departure has been concealed as much as possible, the news has still leaked. Needless to say, the emperor's side has already turned the world upside down, and the queen can only restrain all her sadness and run to kneel and beg the emperor to calm her anger.

And Concubine Xian is happy to hear about this matter, and I wish that the things in the queen's hands are as troublesome as possible, and no one will get in the way of her own affairs.

Especially seeing that Xu Ruzhu's leg injury is recovering day by day, Concubine Xian's heart is becoming more and more sure.

But no matter what, even if one Xu Rulie is gone, there are still three other princes competing for the throne, if you can't ensure that everything is safe, you still can't be happy too early.

Thinking about it, Concubine Xian silently made a plan in her heart, and quietly wrote a letter to Liuzhou Thorn History, her brother.

Xu Kun, the assassin of Liuzhou, was promoted to the assassin of Liuzhou because his sister was favored in the palace. And because this official position is actually insignificant, it is rare for the emperor to relax his authority and let them have some local military power.

In this way, the strength of the lower and the deprivation of the military power of the general above are the plans of everyone to go to a higher place, so that the two of them can balance it is also part of the emperor's imperial technique.

But no matter how you say it, if you have military power in your hands, there will still be a lot of convenience.

Xu Kun, although he is a little ingenious in commanding the troops, his character is too poor. Before their Xu family made a fortune, they were just a rich peasant in Liuzhou, and their brother had gone to private school, but he only liked to practice martial arts.

The younger sister Concubine Xu Gu Pan studied embroidery at home, because of her beautiful appearance, she was selected as a show girl, and was sent to the palace to get the emperor's favor in one fell swoop, and their family also soared.

Therefore, Xu Kun has always been very obedient and pampered to his sister, as long as it is a request sent by Concubine Xian, he will try his best to meet it.

But Concubine Xian's request this time was to let Xu Kun quietly buy troops, which was a conspiracy to act, and I don't know what Xu Kun's thoughts were.

Xu Ruzhu was taking medicine, and suddenly heard about Concubine Xian's plan from the mouth of the little girl next to him, and suddenly the abacus in his heart crackled.

"Is the concubine's move planning to break the boat, but the risk is too great, even if the father is not in good health now, Xiao Huaian is not a vegetarian."

"Does Your Highness think it's inappropriate? In fact, the slave thinks that it is very good for Niangniang to consider His Highness like this. As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, Your Highness is so talented, if the throne is not left to Your Highness, it will be too tyrannical. ”
