Xiao Xuan returned to Yihua Palace, and Concubine Liu pulled her down.

"After you went, I heard that something happened to Princess Nan'an's Mansion, and Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu were in Lingyun Palace. You've only been pregnant for a long time, and you don't know how to come back when you encounter such trouble. Emperor Liu took Xiao Xuan all the way to the hall and said. There was such a big commotion in Lingyun Palace, what are you doing with your pestle? ”

"There's a reason I'm not leaving." Xiao Xuan was pressed down by Emperor Liu's concubine and said. "Besides, the big sister looks like that, why am I still leaving."

"Hey, I've almost heard a little bit about it." Emperor Liu also sighed. I really didn't expect her to encounter this, not only heartbroken but also heartbroken. Her colt used to look very good, who would have thought that she could do such a thing. ”

"Yes, the big sister was really hurt this time." Xiao Xuan said. "The eldest sister originally wanted Duan Shaoyou's life, but in the end, she let him live for Sister Rou'er."

And the Zhenguo Mansion has become a mess after Duan Shaoyou was carried away and Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi fainted. The Duke of Zhenguo was not in the imperial capital, and the prince of Zhenguo didn't know where to go to sleep in the willows, and the lord of Duansu was invited out of the courtyard of the second room.

Duan Chengwen and Duan Shaolan, who heard about this, immediately rushed back to the Zhenguo Mansion after they got off duty.

The Duan family's father and son had only heard a rough idea before, and only after they came back did they learn everything from the mouth of the Duansu County Lord.

"I've asked Dr. Shi to come over and treat my sister-in-law." The lord of Duansu County was also relieved to see her husband and eldest son come back. "Brother You is the child that my sister-in-law values the most, and my sister-in-law couldn't bear the blow for a while, fainted and didn't wake up in the past. This matter spread in the imperial capital, and relatives and friends came to inquire about the news. I'm too busy here, but I'm back. ”

"Where's Brother You?" Duan Chengwen didn't even have time to change out of his official uniform.

"Brother You was beaten by His Majesty and sent back for his sister-in-law to take a look, and the Jinqiwei immediately escorted Brother You into the carriage, saying that he was ordered by His Majesty to send him to his post immediately." The lord of Duansu County had palpitations. "Brother You was covered in blood when he came back, His Majesty belittled him out of the imperial capital, and he didn't know how long he could last with injuries?"

"He made such a mistake, since Your Majesty didn't want his life, naturally he won't let him die halfway." Duan Chengwen is a Wenchen, and he originally valued Duan Shaoyou's nephew a little, but now that Duan Shaoyou has come to this point, Duan Chengwen is also embarrassed in his heart. "It's just that Your Majesty Chrysostom said that Brother You is out of the imperial capital, and he will never come back in this life."

"Don't talk about that." Lord Duansu looked at Duan Shaolan and asked about Xiao Xuan. "Is the princess okay these days? Did you run back here and tell the princess? ”

"The princess's condition is much better, and today she went to the palace to greet the imperial concubine and His Majesty." At the mention of Xiao Xuan, the corners of Duan Shaolan's lips unconsciously put on a smile. "She said that she would stay in the palace to accompany the imperial concubine for dinner before leaving the palace, so I will come over to see when I hear about the house-middle-incident."

"You just need to know about this mess in the house." Duan Chengwen said. "Brother You is to blame, and there is nothing for us to do."

"Yes, the affairs of the house are with me and your father." Lord Duansu said to Duan Shaolan with a smile. "The princess is still young, and now she is pregnant with your first child, you just have to take care of the princess. The house may have to be busy for a few days, waiting for the sister-in-law to get better, and then I will take Sister Chu over to see the princess. ”

"Yes, my son knows." Duan Shaolan would naturally take good care of Xiao Xuan, he thought about it and remembered something. "But right now, shouldn't I send someone out of the imperial capital to inform my grandfather? With my grandfather's temper, if I only learned about the origin of this incident on the day I returned from visiting friends, I was afraid that I would be angry again. ”

"Brother You is the eldest brother's sister-in-law, and your mother and I shouldn't have sent someone to talk to your grandfather about this matter." Duan Chengwen thought for a moment and said. "But you're right, my father is very old, and if he waits for him to return from visiting friends, I'm afraid that he will hurt himself when he gets angry."

"Father, mother, why don't you ask Uncle Lian to come back." Duan Shaolan proposed. "Uncle Lian has been by my grandfather's side for many years, and he knows his grandfather's temperament best. This matter may as well be told by the father, and then the uncle will tell the grandfather. ”

Zhen Guogong went out to visit friends this time, Duan Lian did not set off with Zhen Guogong because he still had military affairs in the army, and Duan Lian was still in the military camp on the outskirts of the imperial capital at this moment.

Compared with the sons of Zhenguo Gong's concubines and concubines, Duan Lian not only inherited most of the mantle of Zhenguo Gong after being regarded as a righteous son by Zhenguo Gong, but also spent much longer time with Zhenguo Gong than them.

Duan Chengwen asked himself that Duan Lian, the righteous son, really knew the mind of Zhenguo Gong better than their own sons, so Duan Shaolan's proposal was indeed a good way to deal with it.

"Okay, let's do it." Duan Chengwen immediately called someone in, and asked people to take the Fuzhong sign to the suburban military camp to invite Duan Lian back to Zhenguogong.

Duan Shaolan came out of the Zhenguo Mansion and did not return to the princess's mansion, but came to the palace gate to wait for Xiao Xuan to leave the palace.

He waited for about half a pillar of incense, and then saw the carriage of the princess's mansion slowly walking out of the palace gate.

"Princess, the colt has come to fetch you." Huang Yu, who was waiting outside the carriage, had sharp eyes and immediately shouted loudly into the carriage.

Xiao Xuan turned to the back when she heard it, and as soon as she opened the curtain of the car, she met Duan Shaolan's smiling face.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Xuan saw Duan Shaolan and asked him with a smile. "Have you waited long?"

"I didn't have to wait long." Duan Shaolan drove his horse closer to the carriage and said close to the window. "I just came back from the Zhenguo Mansion, and I think it's okay to go back to the mansion, so I might as well come and pick you up."

"You're back?" At the mention of the Zhenguo Mansion, Xiao Xuan's eyes rolled. "How's the situation in Fuchu?"

Duan Shaoyou was beaten and sent back to see the wife of the prince for the last time, and then he was escorted out of the imperial capital to take up his post. Mrs. Shizi fainted, and there was a mess in the house, and now it was my mother who stepped forward to serve the council. Duan Shaolan said helplessly. Did you hear about the Nan'an Princess's Mansion in the palace today? ”

"Well, I already know." Xiao Xuan thought of Xiao Lu and said a little gloomily. "It's a pity for my big sister and my little nephew who died young."

"You're pregnant, don't think about these things." Duan Shaolan saw Xiao Xuan's sad face and said with relief.

"It's because I'm pregnant." Xiao Xuan's hand was resting on her lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged. "I will pity the big sister even more, the big sister doesn't know how much she hopes that the child can be born safely, but she happened to encounter this kind of thing."

Xiao Lu fainted after learning that Duan Shaoyou was escorted out of the imperial capital, and it was two days before she woke up again.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the imperial doctors who were guarding the bedside finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Princess." Brother Parrot, who has been guarding her these days, hurriedly stepped forward and said. "You're awake."

"How is Sister Rou?" As soon as Xiao Lufu woke up, he immediately thought of Sister Rou. "How many days did I sleep?"

"Back to the princess, you have slept for two days since you left the palace that day." Brother Parrot asked people to decoct the medicine while answering Xiao Lu's question. "The little princess has never seen the princess there, and there has been a commotion. However, the mandarin duck guarded the courtyard of the little county lord very firmly, and the matter did not penetrate the slightest in front of the little county lord. ”

"You help me to my feet and cover my face with rouge." Xiao Lu motioned for Brother Parrot to help her sit up. "Sister Rou is stubborn, I have to see her, so let the mandarin duck bring her over to see me."

Brother Parrot served Xiao Lu with the medicine, and simply put on some makeup for her, so that her pale face was a little more dizzy, and it was enough to coax a child like Sister Rou'er.

The mandarin duck who got the letter soon came over with Sister Rou, who didn't know why she only knew that she hadn't seen her father and mother for several days, and she began to cry yesterday. is now being hugged by a mandarin duck, and a pair of eyes are still a little red and swollen.

"Mother, mother." As soon as the mandarin duck carried her into the house, Sister Rou saw Xiao Lu sitting on the bed, and her mouth was deflated and she was about to cry.

"Good boy, don't cry." The mandarin duck put Sister Rou on the side of the bed, and Xiao Lu supported her body and took the crying Sister Rou into her arms. "Mother, isn't she there? Don't cry. ”

Sister Rou lay in Xiao Lu's arms dependently, listening to her mother's soft voice of comfort, and sure enough, she stopped her tears.

"Mother, where have you been these days?" Sister Rou raised her head and asked curiously. "Why didn't the mandarin duck let me come over to see my mother these days?"

"Mother is sick and can't see you." Xiao Lu's hand gently stroked Sister Rou'er's back, she couldn't help but think of the child who died young, tears fell instantly, she was afraid that Sister Rou'er would find out, so she immediately turned her head and wiped away the tears in her eyes. "Sister Rou'er isn't seeing me now?"

"Yes, Mother." Sister Rou found the problem again in hindsight, and pointed to Xiao Lu's stomach and asked. "Mother, how did your belly get smaller? What about my brother? ”

"Sister Rou, there is no younger brother." Xiao Lu said with a smile to Sister Rou. "Brother, I was taken by the gods in the sky and was taken to the sky to be a little fairy."

"Really? Is my brother so powerful? Sister Rou said in surprise that she was not familiar with the world. Can the younger brother only live in heaven forever? Can't I see him? ”

"That's right, my younger brother was taken away by the gods and can only live in heaven forever." Xiao Lu said.

"Okay." Sister Rou nodded obediently. "But where did my father go?"
