Lan House.

Lan Liang was pacing back and forth in the main hall in homely casual clothes, and Hai Rulan was sitting on the mahogany chair at the head, and her nervous fingers were unnaturally dragging the sweat towel at the moment.

"I said that you can't stand in the faction of the Great Prince, how deep the water in this capital is is not something that we like Xiaoyan can explore, if the Great Prince can't survive tonight, it will be our family who will be a substitute for the dead ghost tomorrow!" Lan Dong let out a long sigh, sat down on the chair next to him, and looked at Hai Rulan, who was drinking tea: "When is it, you still drink, if you want me to say, I blame you for this matter!" ”

"What do you complain about me, is it difficult to complain about me, or the eldest prince will be safe and sound soon, canonized the East Palace tomorrow, what is the panic, what a normal thing to do, with my foreign family, what can you do?" Hai Rulan's heart was also up and down, but in the end, her face was serious and calm: "You are known by the children like this, and you must not cry to death one by one." ”

Speaking of the three children, Lan Liang is hammer chair armrest, watching as if boiling oil for more than ten years, promoted to the position of Langzhong in the capital, according to his meaning, that is Mingzhe to protect himself, waiting for the old emperor to go, the new crown prince ascended the throne, and the right way is to plan the way.

Lan Guidan changed from a widow to a maid, and wanted to find a good family for her in the capital, last month the second son of the Earl's Mansion asked someone, Lan Guixian finally asked the widow, and set the uncle of the Hanlin Academy, Lan Yuedong was also stable in the private school, and the family was always thriving as long as they had a good life.

Suddenly, Lan Guidan hurriedly walked in and rushed to Hai Rulan in shock: "Mother, the tenant has come to talk, and the eldest prince died of cold and convulsions!" The death knell is announced! Our family has to make plans early! Fortunately, we are still a little familiar with Mrs. Zhang Ge, and now we have to draw our knives-"

"What nonsense are you kidding! Your grandfather's family is personally favored by His Majesty to recruit loyalty, since ancient times, the prince has acquiesced to the eldest son, His Majesty did not say it clearly, but he did not say that it would not be the eldest prince, we are deeply rooted in the court, and there will be something for a while! Hai Rulan also straightened her back when she heard this, and then went down a few times: "It's you, don't sleep in the yard well, what did you do when you ran out!" ”

As he was talking, Lan Yuedong also came back from the dust, with a cautious gaze: "Dad, just now my grandfather's henchman got the news, this fire is very likely to be Zhang Ge Lao's suggestion to the henchmen placed in the palace, and the second prince was placed by the queen's mother in the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace and retreated from the lotus pond, and now the trend of this game of chess is no longer on the side of the eldest prince——"

"Ahh Lan Liang's eyes widened, and he stood up with a pout: "How is it possible!" Zhang Ge Lao is the head of the Qing School, the elder of the two dynasties, and if he dies, he is the one who wants to enter the Taimiao! How could such a bastard thing be done! ”

The main hall fell into a deathly silence.

"It's Zhao Yuanzhi." Lan Guidan suddenly muttered: "He has now successfully approached Elder Zhang Ge with the connections of Sheng Shangshu's family, and made Elder Zhang Ge trust——"

"Yes, I also heard that Zhang Ge wants to marry his only daughter to Zhao Yuanzhi!" Lan Yuedong answered.

"Shut up Lao Tzu! That Zhang Gui'er is only twelve years old! What a daughter-in-law is not a daughter-in-law! Shut your mouth for me! I don't want to collect your body! ”

"Shut up!" Hai Rulan stared at Lan Guidan: "How are you sure?" ”

"Only he has the ability to come up with such attention, as long as the eldest prince is dead, no matter what, the second prince is already the prince, and even if he takes 10,000 steps back, even if His Majesty knows that it may be related to Zhang Ge Lao in the end, for the sake of the country, the future prince and auxiliary ministers will definitely have to suffer this dumb loss." Lan Guidan said calmly.

Lan Liang leaned on the chair and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "No matter what, I'm afraid that the people of the Great Prince's faction will be ····· one by one."

"As long as it's not our family." Lan Guidan said, and looked at the person who came back in the night: "Dong'er, you go and tell your grandfather, just say it's your father's words, let your grandfather and the two uncles all go to Da Nei to cry and mourn, and reprimand the queen for murdering the second prince, this opportunity can't be lost, the dead chips are useless, go quickly!" ”

Lan Yuedong was stunned, and then nodded stupidly: "Okay, I, I'll go!" ”

"Looks like this day is going to change." Lan Liang said quietly: "According to the practice of this dynasty, if the prince is young, he will make an exception to reopen the imperial examination and select talents to enter the court. He looked at his daughter deeply: "I still say the same thing, Zhao Yuanzhi is not a person who can be ······ for love In short, he is not your beloved. ”

The main hall was left with the mother and daughter in an instant.

Hai Rulan took her daughter's hand: "These court affairs have nothing to do with us girls, the sky is falling, and there are tall people on top, if you want to hold Zhao Yuanzhi in your hands, you have to hurry." ”

Lan Guidan was silent, she had already given the Zhu family ecstasy in the Taoist Temple that day, no matter how Zhao Yuanzhi reconciled, the Zhu family would not make the slightest concession on the heirs, then, the next two choices are either to take a concubine and scatter the branches, or divorce his wife and marry another.

Obviously, Yang Baodai will not allow the first situation to happen, and it is impossible for Zhao Yuanzhi to allow unfamiliar women to behave under his nose.

Therefore, as long as you put some fierce medicine on Zhu's body, everything will be fine.

Lan Guidan walked out of the main hall and looked at Lan Guixian standing under the eaves, she straightened the hem of her clothes: "What are you doing here?" Feeling good about not sleeping at night? ”

"I heard that my younger brother came back in a hurry, and he left in a hurry, so I came to take a look, eldest sister, I heard the death knell in the palace, and said that the eldest prince is dead."

"The affairs of the court are something you can discuss!" Nan Guidan scolded her coldly, looking at the two girls behind her: "This is how you two serve your master!" ”

Where is Lan Guixian related to the situation in the court, it was not easy to get a high-ranking uncle, but he knew more that the family was the uncle of the country, if the eldest prince lost his power, then ····· She chased after her: "Eldest sister, eldest sister, you know my fiancé, if it-"

"What if? As long as the uncle does not rebel, even if he rebels, as long as the Earl's Court is not involved, it is a big deal to be left out in the cold for a few years, and the big family can still be poor for you, which second son is a man who can bear it, you marry and live a good life, and you are being picked up to divide the family to keep safe, and your peace is maintained by your mother's family. Lan Guidan looked at her pitiful, but still revealed a few words: "In short, everything that Grandma Sun taught you has been thrown away!" ”

"As a woman, as long as you take care of the back house of the family, you can ask about something all day long, even the third brother has taken care of his temperament, you still don't care, do you know that Grandma Sun is now going to Zhao's house, leaving Yang Baodai to be a military advisor." Lan Guidan hated iron and steel: "At the beginning, I let you respect and humble, keep Grandma Sun by your side, and let her accompany you to marry, what a dire place the Earl's Court is, if you don't fight for yourself, it is difficult for me to make decisions for you!" ”

After scolding, Lan Guidan was angry in his heart, flicked his sleeves and said: "Stay in the mansion for me, be given to me and be a demon again, otherwise I can tell you about your marriage, and I can also tell you about it!" ”

"Yes!" Lan Guixian nodded aggrievedly. She cautiously followed behind the eldest sister, and said: "I heard that if the prince is young, the imperial examination will be reopened, Zhao Yuanzhi is Fuzhou Xie Yuan, and there is the guidance of the elder pavilion, this is afraid that there is no problem with the first class and the first, eldest sister, you have to make plans early, according to my opinion, directly kill Yang Baodai——"

With the support of her brother-in-law, her life in her mother's house can be even better.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, according to the law, Zhao Yuanzhi is also going to keep his wife filial piety for a year, and besides, do you really think that our family can cover the sky with one hand?"

After a few more sentences, Lan Guixian was angry, and he didn't dare to talk back rashly, so he said: "If Zhao Yuanchun is still alive, the eldest sister will be the envy of the entire capital's female dependents." ”

"Lan Guixian, to put it mildly, if they throw you to Zhao Yuanzhi as a concubine, I think their Zhao family is also willing." Her gaze was very cold, "If you mention Yuan Chun in front of me once, I will definitely let you die without a place to be buried, understand?" ”

The eyes were too cold to frighten Lan Guixian to move.

The girl said: "Miss, don't talk nonsense, the slave maid heard that the eldest lady and the dead uncle have a good relationship, and now even if there is no love, there is love." ”

Another girl also chimed in: "The eldest lady still wears that bracelet on her wrist now, and the second lady should pay attention to her future speech." ”

Lan Guixian was dissatisfied, so she muttered: "Anyway, they are all people who like other people's younger brothers, and they are embarrassed-" She didn't embezzle the dirty words after all, "Let's go, go back." ”

Lan Guidan, who returned to the courtyard, sat on the dresser, opened the drawer and took out a small wooden box, and the girl Osmanthus unbunned her hair: "Miss seems to like staring at this box in a daze." ”

"There's nothing to do with you here, let's get out." Lan Guidan spoke, listening to the sound of the door closing, she slowly opened the box, and inside was a piece of silk cloth, which still had a faint glow in the light.

This thing was found in Zhao Yuanchun's boots at the beginning, and she found it when she personally changed Zhao Yuanchun's clothes.

The Zhao family can't afford this kind of thing.

She knew that even if there was no evidence, Zhao Yuanchun's death must not be simple.

"Don't worry, you and I are husband and wife, as long as there is a chance, I will definitely find the murderer who killed you." Lan Guidan muttered, his eyes fell on the bracelet on his wrist again, as if he was about to raise his hand to wipe it off, in the end he gave up, "Zhao Yuanchun, I didn't lose you, I also kept filial piety for you, I am still young, and I have my own life." ”
