Chapter 257: Change of Power

Xiao Lu listened coldly to Sister Rou'er's mention of Duan Shaoyou, her eyes couldn't help but darken, and Brother Parrot and the others all gasped.

Xiao Lu didn't reply for a long time, Sister Rou held Xiao Lu's arm, she was too young to understand the obscure expression on Xiao Lu's face, and she just wanted to find her father who hadn't seen her for a few days.

For a while, the room was very quiet, and Xiao Lu hugged Sister Rou without saying a word.

"Little princess, the princess has to continue to rest." Brother Parrot stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Sister Rou'er. "Is it okay for Brother Parrot to hug Sister Rou?"

"Brother Parrot, it's okay." Xiao Lu motioned for Brother Parrot to stand down, and she hugged Sister Rou and said with a smile. "Sister Rou, your grandfather sent your father out on errands, and he will probably not be able to come back for several years."

"But what should Sister Rou do if she misses her father?" Sister Rou bit her fingers, tilted her head and asked suspiciously. "Can't my grandfather let someone else go?"

"No, my grandfather is His Majesty the Emperor, and my grandfather can't change his mind if this matter is arranged." Xiao Lu kept a smile and said to Sister Rou.

"Okay." Sister Rou looked at Xiao Lu fixedly for a while, and nodded very obediently. "Sister Rou'er knows."

"Well, good boy." Xiao Lu saw that Sister Rou'er was fooled, so she asked her to call Sister Rou'er's nurse to come and carry her down. "I'm not in good health and need to recuperate for some time, so those of you who are waiting for the county lord just need to serve the county lord well. If you hear something, you don't need to pay attention to it, and you are not allowed to talk about it in front of the county lord. I am a person who rewards and punishes in moderation, and I will reward you for serving the lord well, and if you don't serve well, I will punish you severely. ”

The nurse and the maids who were called naturally responded, and the nurse took Sister Rou from Xiao Lu's arms and left in a hurry with the maids.

"Mandarin duck and parrot brother stay." Waiting for Sister Rou'er to be taken away, Xiao Lu closed her eyes and said in a deep voice. "Everyone else stands aside."

"Yes." As soon as Xiao Lu spoke, the maids except for Mandarin Duck and Parrot immediately retreated.

After the people retreated, Xiao Lu opened his eyes and swept to the mandarin duck at once.

The mandarin duck was stunned by Xiao Lu's sharp eyes, and subconsciously knelt down.

"Mandarin duck, you've been serving by my side for a few years, right?" Xiao Lu lifted the quilt that had slipped off her body and asked. "Overall, I'm not too thin on you."

"Yes, the princess has always been generous to her slaves." The mandarin duck thought about the way Xiao Lu raised his sword and swung it at Duan Shaoyou with fierce eyes before, and he trembled like chaff in fright, and replied in a trembling voice.

"You were given to me by the queen's mother, and when you come to me, you are a first-class palace maid." Xiao Lu saw the mandarin duck's reaction and sneered. "For the sake of the queen, I gave you enough dignity, but I didn't expect you to be a nail buried by the queen's mother. The queen mother is really well-intentioned, and she will actually bury nails next to an unfavored princess like me. ”

Only a limited number of people knew about the murder of the old lady of Ding'an, and Deng Hong was involved in it, and he would never leak the news. Xiao Lu thought about it and knew that it was the person around him who leaked his mouth, and this person could only be a mandarin duck.

"Beg the princess to spare her life." The mandarin duck knew about the incident, and was so frightened that he immediately leaned over and begged for mercy. "The lives of the slave and maid's family are in the hands of the queen, and there is no way not to obey the queen's arrangement."

"Then it seems that the bottle of Sanxisan that sent my grandmother on the road back then was not from your cousin." Xiao Lu thought about it for a moment and said with a wry smile. "The queen mother is really scheming, my grandmother's life can still save Duan Shaoyou's life."

"Princess, after I reported your thoughts to the queen mother, the queen mother handed over the three breaths to me and instructed me to hand them over to the princess." The mandarin duck knew that the matter was exposed, so he simply told everything he knew. "And the princess went out of the palace all the way unimpeded, all of which were arranged in advance by the queen mother, and the queen mother also asked people to erase the record of the princess leaving the palace afterwards."

"Hehe, I see. Blame me for being naΓ―ve at that time, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, it turned out that there was a queen mother behind me. "Xiao Lu only hated himself for acting too rashly back then, and he didn't realize that everything was too smooth, but there were ghosts." Arise, then. ”

"The slave knows it's wrong." Where did the mandarin duck dare to get up. "Ask the princess to bypass the slave."

"For the sake of your dedication to serving me all these years, I forgive you." Speaking of which, apart from this matter, Mandarin Ducks have always done their best to serve by her side, and Xiao Lu has also used her all these years. "But you don't have to serve by my side in the future, when Sister Rou'er is three years old, I will divide a separate yard for her, she needs someone like you by her side." So from now on, your master will be Sister Rou. ”

Sister Rou is Xiao Lu's eldest daughter, and she has the position of the county lord, and she really needs a capable person like Mandarin Duck by her side.

Xiao Lu has her own plans in her heart, she can endure the queen for a while, but she will not swallow this account in vain, and she will always have to wait for the opportunity to make up for it, so she will not ask for the life of the mandarin duck now. But I don't want to continue to let her run around in front of my eyes, reminding me of the mistakes I made when I was young, so it is best to put her next to Sister Rou'er.

Mandarin Duck didn't expect Xiao Lu to let go of himself so easily, and raised his head in shock to look up at Xiao Lu.

"How?" Xiao Lu raised her eyebrows and said. "Don't you want to serve by Sister Rou'er?"

"Slave..... The slave maid thought. "The mandarin duck knew that he had saved his life, and he even kowtowed, and his forehead was red." The slave thanked the princess. ”

"Get up, don't knock." Xiao Lu shook his hand and said. "I can't see red right now, get out."

"Yes...... It's ......," the mandarin duck stumbled to his feet. "Slave and maid, stand down."

The mandarin duck covered the wound with his hand, and after thanks, he went out.

Xiao Lu suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell out of bed, but fortunately, Brother Parrot helped her in time.

"Princess, the imperial doctor instructed you before, if you want to take care of your body, you must have a good rest." Parrot persuaded. "Why don't the slave help you lie down first."

Maybe it was because of the medicine she drank before, Xiao Lu also felt very tired, so she nodded and asked Brother Parrot to help her lie down.

Xiao Lu's affairs caused a stir in the imperial capital, Xiao Lu closed the door, and no one would come to touch her moldy head.

But there were people lining up to go to the Zhenguo Mansion to see the jokes, and the wife of the prince of Zhenguo couldn't stand the waves of people who came to the door, so she easily got up and became seriously ill again.

Zhenguo Gong, who learned about this from Duan Lian's mouth, returned to the imperial capital as soon as possible, Duan Shaoyou, who made a mistake, had been degraded out of the imperial capital by Emperor Chu, and the wife of Zhenguo Gong fell ill, and Zhenguo Gong was even more angry, so he had to let Duan Lian lead people to tie up the prince of Zhenguo who was hiding in the outer room.

After the prince of Zhenguo was tied back, the old and strong prince of Zhenguo personally executed the family law against him, and the prince of Zhenguo, who had been pampered for many years, was beaten well, and he couldn't get up from the bed for three months.

The prince of Zhenguo summoned the children of the first room of the prince and Duan Chengwen and the husband and wife of the second room to him, and officially handed over the stewardship to the lord of Duansu.

A few months later, Xiao Xuan's - small - belly - was already high and bulging. Her fetus was stable, and the doctor told her to go out and walk around more.

On this day, she came to the Zhenguo Mansion to visit the county lord of Duansu.

"Come on, why don't you ask the princess to sit down." When the lord of Duansu County saw Xiao Xuan, he stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"I came here without saying hello today." Xiao Xuan sat down cautiously, saw the ledger spread out on the table, and asked. "Did you disturb your mother?"

"Nope." The county lord of Duansu hurriedly asked people to clean up the account books on the table. "You can come whenever you want, nothing botheres. I see that your belly is a little bigger than the last time we met, how are you doing lately? ”

"It's all right, I eat well and sleep well." Xiao Xuan lowered his head and smiled, stroking and touching his stomach and said. "Isn't this even the doctor saying that I am gaining weight too fast, let me move around and move around more."

Xiao Xuanyuan was originally slender, but now he has indeed raised a lot of richness.

"It's okay, being able to eat and sleep means that the child in your belly is sensible and doesn't toss you." Lord Duansu said in the tone of a passer-by. "But the Imperial Doctor is right, moving around a lot will be good for your future production."

"Hmm." Xiao Xuan nodded obediently and looked at the room. "What about Sister Chu?"

"She, go to King Xian's Mansion to play." Lord Duansu said with a smile. "She's getting wilder now, and she often goes out to play."

"If you want me to say that Sister Chu is like this, it's much better than being timid and cowering before." Xiao Lu said. "Sister Chu said that she now has a lot of friends who have a good time."

"Yes, when she was a child, she only dared to follow me when she went out, and when others said something louder, it scared her into crying." Duansu County Lord Yunshou said. "It's fine now."

"By the way, I heard that Mrs. Shizi is still sick and can't get up. I am pregnant and can't go to visit, but I have some supplements prepared, so I bother my mother to hand them over for me. Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered and asked Lu Lin to bring the tonic he had prepared.

"It's hard for you to still think about her." The county lord of Duansu asked his maids to take the things and ordered them to send them to the courtyard of the prince of Zhenguo immediately. "Brother You'er's incident really broke her heart, she has always had the best face, and I am afraid that this illness will not be able to get better in a short time. Shizi was beaten and recuperated in the house, and the two couples could quarrel every day across the room. ”

"It's just that the mother has to work hard, manage, and housework." The commotion in the Zhenguo Mansion a while ago, Xiao Xuan naturally knew about it. "But if something like this happens to the first room of the world, it is also good for our second room. Duan Shaoyou is the most promising child under the knees of the prince, and he probably won't be able to come back in this life. Grandfather is the most transparent, and he should know whose hands the Zhenguo Mansion should be handed over to in the future. ”
