The white cloth covering the sky above Xu's head. The sound of wailing was very low, and it came from everyone's throat and nose.

Mrs. Xu was so sad that she fell ill on the bed.

Gan Peilin took care of it close by, and didn't care about the funeral.

However, Xu Baisen and his wife Qiluo were holding the funeral.

Xu Jingxian entertained many guests who came to mourn. After all, the Protector entered the palace before, and many discerning people could see that the Xu family did not want to be played by shrimp in diving, and sooner or later it would not be a thing in the pool.

Mrs. Xu opened her eyes slightly, and saw Gan Peilin sitting beside her, stirring the hot porridge in the bowl with a silver spoon, and couldn't help but sigh. "At first glance, it seems like Lu has come back to see me. Peilin, you really look like your mother. ”

"Pei Lin is very willing to accompany you for your mother." Gan Peilin gently brought the bowl to her hand and said gently: "Grandmother didn't eat last night. Didn't eat anything in the morning. Just drink a bowl of porridge to warm your stomach. ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Xu nodded: "Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky." At my grandmother's age, there is nothing I can't see. Merely...... No matter how much you can see it, you will feel sad in your heart. ”

Gan Peilin was a little uncomfortable, and his nose was sour: "That's right, but my grandmother should think more about the living people, think about the Xu family." ”

"yes." Mrs. Xu nodded intently: "There is Jing Xian in the Xu Mansion now, and your uncles have also rushed back one after another." The funeral matter let Parson and Kira star. Peilin, it's time for you to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

When he went back at this time, Gan Peilin would be worried about this, so he shook his head: "Peilin wants to accompany his grandmother again." ”

"Silly boy." Mrs. Xu said quietly: "Only if you are good, your grandmother can be good, you are so smart, how can you not know." Let's go back. ”

"......" Gan Peilin was silent, tears were in his eyes, and he nodded for a long time: "Okay." ”

"Let the butler send you back." Mrs. Xu was a little worried.

"Okay." Gan Peilin nodded and told some more things before leaving the courtyard.

There was an endless stream of guests who came to mourn, and Gan Peilin really didn't want to see so many people. Then he asked the butler to lead her out the back door.

Liulan stayed close to him, and the two of them got into the carriage and went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The market is still so lively, with people coming and going.

Usually, Gan Peilin likes this kind of excitement very much. Every time I pass by, I like to listen to such bustling voices. But today is different, she only has sadness in her heart, as if these excitement have nothing to do with her at all.

"Miss, something is wrong." Liulan was vigilant and sensed something.

"What's going on?" Gan Peilin saw her open the curtain of the car and looked out along the gap.

The market is indeed very lively, but ...... This excitement is a bit surprising, as if it was deliberately created.

"I'm hungry, let's go down and finish eating tofu brain." Gan Peilin said suddenly.

"But......" Liulan lowered her voice and said, "It's not peaceful, Miss, we shouldn't stay here." ”

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Gan Peilin insisted on this, and the carriage chose a place on the side of the road to stop.

She and Liulan walked to the stall selling tofu brains and sat down. "20,000 tofu brains, two sweet potato nests."

"Okay, guest officer later." The stall owner directly brought two bowls of tofu brains and fried two pieces of sweet potato nests.

On the tofu brain, a spoonful of cotton sugar was sprinkled, and Gan Peilin gently crushed the tofu brain with a spoon and ate it slowly.

"Hmm." Liulan only took one bite and couldn't help frowning: "I said shopkeeper, why does your tofu brain smell mushy?" ”

"Hey, don't mind the guest officer, it's the morning fire smoke that jumped into the tofu brain." The stall owner smiled a little embarrassedly: "Otherwise, even if I invite these two bowls, I don't need money, and I will pour you two bowls of soy milk?" ”

"No need, so be it." Rulan didn't say anything more.

In the process of eating tofu brain, Gan Peilin took a closer look, and the stalls on the street basically changed people. Not only is the tofu brain unsatisfactory, but the steamed buns sold are yellow and chirping, and at first glance, the dough is overdone.

When she had finished eating, she threw down the silver and returned to the carriage with Rulan.

"Miss, do you notice something is wrong?" Liulan said a little strangely: "How do you feel that these people can't even run their own business well, they look orderly, but in fact, they are always almost hot." ”

"You're right." Gan Peilin knew it in his heart and said, "These people are not small vendors at all, but ...... Someone asked them to appear here as a small vendor. ”

"The slave and maid understand." Liulan suddenly realized: "The Queen Mother secretly controls the entire imperial city. ”

"yes." Gan Peilin's eyebrows moved slightly: "The Queen Mother is really lightning fast, and she moves fast." ”

Gan Peilin thought to himself that it was easiest to install a few small vendors in the market, and the next step was to control the economic lifeline of the entire imperial city.

"It seems that the Queen Mother is preparing for a fierce battle." Rulan's heart pounded.

"That's good." Gan Peilin had a calm face: "Since she wants to do this, then let's help her." ”

returned to Jiang Xiang's mansion, Gan Peilin went directly to the study.

"Let Lu Yao, Yanzi and Chen Rui come over." Gan Peilin didn't bother to ask Jiang Yu, but directly called all the people around Jiang Yu away.

At this time, it happened that Princess Zhen and the two aunts and wives were on Jiang Yu's side.

Seeing that the person was called away by Gan Peilin, the three people had different expressions.

Cuiyun was a little puzzled: "I heard that the protector of the Xu family passed away last night...... Why did Madame come back at this time? ”

"The Lord Protector is gone, alas, ......" Ao Li sighed and was silent.

Zhen didn't speak at all, she was just thinking about what Gan Peilin was going to do.

"Madame is in a hurry to call us over, what's the matter?" Lu Yao asked.

"What news have you received lately? Is there any other place besides the western region where there is a plague of war? Gan Peilin asked Lu Yao.

Lu Yao shook his head a little embarrassed: "After the master fell ill, his subordinates didn't bother to ask about this. ”

"You hurry up and check, in addition, our granaries, Zhuangzi, silver trumpets, and all grain and silver deposits are all only hoarded, and they are not allowed to be released. Especially the industries in the imperial city can be maintained at the lowest cost. Do not sell in large quantities. Gan Peilin said solemnly: "The silver that has been lost for a few months is not tight, once there is a war, these things can keep the maximum supply." ”

"Madame means...... The Queen Mother plans to fight in a closed city? Lu Yao couldn't help but be nervous.

"Yes." Gan Peilin looked at him calmly: "If there is no foreign war, then the Queen Mother's target is probably the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"My subordinates understood." Lu Yao arched his hand: "Let's arrange it." ”

"Chen Rui, don't be idle, I want to get the evidence of King Huiqing as soon as possible. No matter what the evidence is, it must be thrown out as soon as possible before the Queen Mother. Gan Peilin's heart tightened slightly. Once the Queen Mother makes a move, we are still passive, and it will be too late. ”

"Minions understand." Chen Rui arched his hand: "It's really not good, then take advantage of King Huiqing's greed and make a game for him." ”

"It's not that it can't be done, but the situation is urgent, and there can't be any mistakes." Gan Peilin thought for a while: "So, it's best to grasp his original mistakes, there is really no, and it can only be so." ”

"Madam, Hei Yan doesn't have any tasks at the moment, and she is on standby at any time." Swallow can't wait to help.

"Black swallow is the best to use." The corners of Gan Peilin's lips were slightly hooked: "From now on, the people who are specifically staring at the Queen Mother." Whether it is to choose a handsome male pet to send to the palace, or to send the unwanted ones out of the palace, or to directly find a suitable candidate for the Queen Mother...... Within three days, the new hobby of the Queen Mother must be made public. ”

"The slave and maid understand." Yanzi immediately thought of a suitable candidate: "Madame, don't worry, the slave will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." ”

"Tight on the outside and loose on the inside." Gan Peilin said with deep eyes: "Princess Zhen is pregnant, and there are many female dependents in the house, don't let them feel unstable." Everything is the same as before, do what you have to do. You all have to be safe. ”

Thinking of this, Gan Peilin couldn't help but glance at Chen Rui: "You go and bring the crispy core into the Prime Minister's Mansion." It was inconvenient for her to live outside alone. It was also convenient for us to take care of him when we came back here. ”

"Yes." Chen Rui nodded.

At this time, the little guy couldn't come quickly and presented a letterhead.

The letterhead was written by Su Qi Zhe and was specially sent by someone.

There are three words on it: it's done.

Gan Peilin breathed a sigh of relief: "Liulan, you came from Ganfu with me, and you are more familiar with the affairs of Ganfu." You go there yourself. Let them prepare, and the father may be going back soon. ”

"Yes." Liulan couldn't help but be happy: "If Da Sima can return home, does it mean that things have taken a turn for the better?" ”

"Not necessarily." Gan Peilin is not so optimistic. "My grandfather died, and he had to come back to mourn. But what happens after that is unknown. ”

"There is one more thing, the slave maid wants to ask the eldest lady to give me a letter in person." Liulan's face sank, and she said, "What should Wang Qingchan do?" ”

"She's just being used by the Queen." Gan Peilin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Gan Mansion is like this now, and I don't have the heart to pay attention to her." ”

"The slave's suggestion is ......," Rulan gestured to silence.

Gan Peilin thought for a while and shook his head: "Forget it, my father used to have so many women around him, but now there are few of them." ”

"Yes." Only then did Liulan retreat, and several people acted separately.

Gan Peilin took care to see Jiang Yu.

"You still know how to come?" Zhen was a little unhappy, and when she saw her come in, her face sank: "I know that my husband wants you to be by my side the most." ”

"Isn't that you?" Gan Peilin slightly relaxed his lips: "You are here, I can rest assured." ”

Where these two people are arguing, there is a feeling of sympathy for each other.

Ao Li glanced at Cuiyun, and Crisp Core also glanced back at Ao Li, and both of them were a little surprised.

"Isn't your husband awake yet?" Gan Peilin frowned and asked, "Has Qian Yun been here?" Did you say what's going on? ”

"I've been here, but I still say that the residual poison has not been cleared." Zhen was a little unhappy: "Why can't that person use that poisonous spider to sting again, maybe he can wake up?" ”

"It is estimated that the toxins spread throughout the body along the meridians, and it is not so easy to regulate." Gan Peilin walked to the edge of the bed, sat down and shook Jiang Yu's hand. "I always felt like he'd wake up soon."
