Gu Xiaonuan finally found out the secret of the lotus flower from the backyard.

It turned out that there was nothing strange about the lotus flowers in the Shangshu Mansion, but the backyard was inhabited by Miss Sulan, the daughter of Lord Shangshu. Na Sulan often took advantage of the absence of Master Shangshu to bring her favorite person back to the backyard for a secret tryst.

Chen Shangshu has always been strongly opposed to Miss Su Lan and Nashu Kong Jia being together, so very few people know about this matter. Many times, Chen Shangshu almost took Kong Jia's life, but it was Na Sulan who threatened Chen Shangshu with his life to let that Kong Jia go.

Originally, Na Sulan had always insisted on being with Na Kong Jia, but under her father's strong opposition, she even began to ask for Na Kong Jia's life, and she began to waver.

The main thing is that she wants him to live well, not to lose his life because of herself.

In the end, Su Lan and Chen Shangshu reached an agreement, as long as Chen Shangshu did not hurt Kong Jia, then she agreed to enter the palace and obey her father's arrangement.

Moreover, he asked Chen Shangshu to ensure that Kong Jia lived well, if Kong Jia had any three strengths and two weaknesses, she would not live.

After hearing about these things, Gu Xiaonuan felt that this Su Lan was affectionate and righteous, and she was a good girl, but it was a pity that she was born in this Gaomen Hou Mansion, and her fate was always uncountable.

"There is another thing, this morning it seems that Chen Shangshu asked the king for a decree and invited the imperial doctor in the palace to go to Madame Shangshu for treatment." Listen and say.

Gu Xiaonuan was a little curious, "What serious illness is this Shangshu woman who needs to be invited to the imperial doctor in the palace?" ”

"It seems that some kind of fat powder was used, and then my face festered. I heard that I also invited Lang Zhong outside, but I couldn't cure it, so I invited the imperial doctor in this palace. ”

Hearing this, Gu Xiaonuan suddenly remembered the bottle of medicine that Chen Zichen took from him a few days ago. When he took it, he said, "The best fat powder, I replied, if you are not afraid of using a bad face, take it."

Could it be Chen Zichen? But why did he do it?

Gu Xiaonuan is becoming more and more curious about Chen Zichen, if it is really him, then he is interesting.

But when he got here, Gu Xiaonuan thought of a good way to go to Shangshu Mansion for a walk.

That is, in the name of visiting the family of important ministers, to visit Mrs. Shangshu, as long as she arrives at Shangshu Mansion, Gu Xiaonuan can meet Miss Sulan for a while.

So Gu Xiaonuan immediately went to ask for a decree in the afternoon, saying that Lord Shangshu is a heavy minister, and now the Shangshu woman is seriously ill, if she doesn't know, it's okay, now that she knows, she has invited the imperial doctor in the palace, and she will have to go and see it as the queen. First, it seems that Lord Shangshu is valued, and the queen can visit the family when they are sick, and second, it shows that the king cares about the courtiers.

As soon as the king heard this suggestion, he felt very good, now is the critical time, if he can bring the hearts of more important ministers to his side, then the better his chance of overthrowing the Marquis of Lin Guofu.

Seeing that Gu Xiaonuan could share such worries for himself, King Liwang looked at Gu Xiaonuan with great relief and said, "Ah Yao, it's really rare that you can think of this for this king." ”

Gu Xiaonuan smiled faintly and said, "The concubine is a woman, and the affairs of the previous dynasty cannot be shared by the king, so I can only do these little things with some heart." ”

The queen who left the king to see herself felt more and more relieved. Officials who went to the border to control floods came to report this morning, saying that since the implementation of the method of changing the blockage to dredging the water, although we have encountered great difficulties in the early stage, we have also achieved very good results, and in this year's rainy season, floods in the border areas have been markedly reduced. In areas that used to be flooded, there was a slight harvest this year.

This was excellent news, and when the king heard the news, he remembered that day when the queen made this suggestion, and at that time he wondered, is this really possible? But when the news came from Zaochao, he knew that his queen had made a great contribution to leaving the country, and he didn't know how to thank her.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Xiaonuan was led by the palace people to the Shangshu Mansion, because he had not received a notice before, saying that the queen was going to visit Mrs. Shangshu, so it was the queen's sedan car that arrived at the door of the Shangshu Mansion, and Lord Shangshu knew.

Lord Shangshu, who was in a hurry, led the house up and down to greet him, and the queen suddenly came to visit, and Lord Shangshu couldn't guess why he came for a while.

Since the incident was exposed a few days ago, Lord Shangshu wondered if the queen had come to Xingshi to ask about the crime.

However, the queen did not say a word about this matter, but went to see Madame Shangshu and asked her about her condition.

Because of the injury on her face, Mrs. Shangshu received the queen through the curtain, but with the translucent curtain, Gu Xiaonuan could vaguely see the injury on Mrs. Shangshu's face.

Probably, Gu Xiaonuan guessed that the poison was not fake. Not only sighed in his heart, "Chen Shangshu, Chen Shangshu, you may not have calculated everything, stealing chickens will not make rice, and harming others will not end up harming yourself." ”

Mrs. Shangshu can't be an accompaniment, and the one who accompanies her is Lord Shangshu's daughter, Su Lan.

Na Sulan also gave birth to a water hibiscus, which was generous and generous, and was a beautiful embryo. It's just that he may be in a bad mood when he looks at it, and his complexion is not very good, presumably because of the matter of Kong Jia.

Chen Shangshu was inconvenient to follow all the way, so he told the queen that he was accompanied by Su Lan. He also specially instructed Su Lan to accompany the queen well and not to be lazy.

That Chen Shangshu looked polite, with a smile on his face anytime and anywhere, and he looked very kind. Judging from the appearance, who can consider him to be a very deep and ruthless person.

Looking at Chen Shangshu, Gu Xiaonuan said, "Lord Shangshu is busy with government affairs, don't worry about the palace, the palace is just to see Mrs. Shangshu, as long as the lady is all right, the palace is also a little relieved." ”

Chen Shangshu is a person from the Ministry of Etiquette, and he is very thoughtful in terms of etiquette or something, and he can't find the slightest fault.

After Chen Shangshu retreated, Miss Na Sulan accompanied Gu Xiaonuan, and it was much easier to talk.

Gu Xiaonuan wanted to say a few words alone with Chen Sulan, so on the grounds that he didn't like it to be too lively and let Chen Sulan accompany him, he left those palace people outside the gate of the backyard, and he and Sulan walked to the lotus pond in the backyard.

Sure enough, there is a big lotus pond, the blue sea and blue sky, and it can be seen from a distance that they are all lotuses, and it is the season when all the lotus flowers are in full bloom, so at a glance, they are all lotuses.

Even the promenade of the lotus pond is cool, but it is a good place to escape the heat, and Gu Xiaonuan wants to move here to escape the heat.

I don't know if Su Lan doesn't like to talk, or because she is the queen, she doesn't dare to speak, and along the way, she just follows and doesn't speak.

She didn't say it, and Gu Xiaonuan only opened her mouth to say first, "Your name is Su Lan?" ”

"Back to the Queen's words, yes." She nodded in response.

She walked behind Gu Xiaonuan, Gu Xiaonuan glanced at her sideways, she looked well-behaved and endearing.

"How old are you this year?"

"If you go back to the queen, the courtiers are sixteen this year."

"Sixteen ......." Gu Xiaonuan said as she walked, "Sixteen years old, it is in the prime of life, I don't know if there is a marriage match?" ”

Hearing this, Su Lan was slightly stunned, and then her cheeks flushed with a hint of blush, and with a little nervousness, she lowered her head and shook her head.
