Li Shanggong smiled and said, "What's this?" Don't married couples pay attention to the same life and the same death. Rui Guogong and his wife died on the same day, such affection, it will only be a good story to say. ”

Gui Yuan rolled his eyes: "Auntie, you know that I didn't ask this." ”

Li Shanggong glanced at the pastry brought by Gui Yuan, picked up a piece but still stuffed it into Gui Yuan's mouth.

When she was young, Li Shanggong liked these sweet and glutinous bean paste stuffing snacks very much, the more lard and caramel you put in it, the better, you don't have to chew it, it won't take long to melt in your mouth, in the bitter life of the palace people, that sweet fragrance is almost a luxury for her.

Li Shanggong almost planted a big heel on her little luxury.

The person who was like a sister personally gave her a bag of pastries she liked, and then Li Shanggong had diarrhea and missed a great opportunity to reach the sky in one step in the eyes of outsiders.

Then she learned to restrain herself, and she still missed the sweet taste, but she would not indulge in that fleeting pleasure anymore.

"Do you think that Rui Guogong and his wife are in love?"

Gui Yuan was stunned for a moment and shook his head decisively.

There are too many women in Rui Guogong, and there are too many rights and wrongs in the family. The terrible thing is that the eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law and eldest grandson of Rui Guogong died unclearly, and the second son's family always stumbled, and survived several times.

Li Shanggong asked again: "If the Duchess of Ruiguo is dead and the Duke of Ruiguo is still alive, who do you think will inherit this title in the future?" ”

Needless to say? The Duchess of Ruiguo has a strong wrist, when she is there, she can still shelter her children and grandchildren, if she dies, the Duke of Ruiguo is not allowed to be blown by the crooked wind next to the pillow, and she wants to change the candidate for the son. Even if he can still be steadfast, what if the second son also dies? The son-in-law is dead, and even if it is not ordinary for the concubine to inherit the Guogong Mansion at that time, he can't help it.

"But ......"

After all, they are husband and wife, sharing the same bed, having children, and living together for decades. Gui Yuan also heard that the Duke of Ruiguo was seriously injured in the war that year, and it was the Duchess of Ruiguo who took care of him without sleep. The past days were not as rich as they are now, and she has suffered a lot of sins.

How could she be so ruthless as to kill her husband?

"Duchess Ruiguo is not a child when she dies." Li Shanggong said slowly.

"I know it's a little hard to understand that her eldest son and eldest grandson are dead."

"More than that. In fact, the Duchess of Ruiguo gave birth to a total of five children, one of whom died of illness at an early age, in fact, she also had a young son, but she was born without gas, so there was no preface, and outsiders didn't know. ”

Gui Yuan said cautiously: "Does he ...... Was it killed? ”

"How do I know that?" Li Shanggong smiled: "It's none of my business, and I can't ask more." ”

Although Li Shanggong's words sounded untrue, Gui Yuan knew that she was telling the truth.

"Housework, others can't tell. Anyway, Rui Guogong and his wife died on the same day, and they will be buried on the same day in a few days. Also, the inheritance of the title is also a certainty, and nothing will go wrong. ”

Yes, without the support of Rui Guogong, whether it is those women in the backyard or those concubines and grandchildren, what is it? They are nothing.

Gui Yuan felt that he understood what Li Shanggong meant, although he ...... I'm probably only halfway there.

After all, none of them are the Duchess of Ruiguo, why did she poison her husband, this secret has been brought to the coffin, no matter how much others guess, they can't conclude her thoughts.

"Alright, don't think about it, you have to sort out the account books and take stock of the contents of the library."

Gui Yuan answered yes, but immediately came back to his senses.

"Now the inventory? Didn't you just go over it in the summer? ”

"Let's try it again while it's not cold."

Although the inventory is a little cumbersome to do, but Gui Yuan has been in the palace for many years, and knows that it is not a bad thing to do more work and do more details.

Check more, even if you don't find anything wrong, you can also deter people who have ghosts in their hearts.

Before the first snowfall, Princess Fuyu's family finally returned to the capital.

The couple brought their daughter and came to Yilan Hall to ask for peace.

Empress Cao looked at the couple carefully, Meng Juma didn't need to say, he was always sick, Empress Cao said: "You have just traveled back to Beijing for a long time, you should rest for a few more days to recuperate." ”

Not only is Meng Yuma's complexion not very good, but even Princess Fuyu doesn't look very energetic.

Empress Cao was really worried.

Even Hui'er, who has always been lively and lovely, was a little wilted, and Queen Cao hugged her and asked, "Why is Hui'er unhappy?" Did you not sleep well at night? Or is breakfast unappetizing? Are you not happy that your father and mother have returned to Beijing? ”

She vomited. A few days ago, she caught a cold, and she didn't want to take medicine, so she was forced to feed her medicine, and she was angry all the time, and no one cares. ”

Queen Cao smiled: "Yo, don't look at our Hui'er people, but we are quite angry, and we will hold grudges." ”

Princess Fuyu whispered: "There is a happy event to tell the queen mother, I am pregnant again." ”

Empress Cao was really overjoyed: "Really? Have you seen it for the Imperial Doctor? How long has it been? ”

"The doctor has seen it, and said it's been almost three months."

Empress Cao was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, but she didn't have long to frown again: "You have a body, and the first three months should be recuperating, you shouldn't travel long distances, this road is bumpy and tiring, if something happens, do you regret it?" ”

Meng Juma protects her daughter-in-law, and hurriedly explains to Princess Fuyu: "There are many current affairs in my hometown, I didn't notice it, and the princess was a little unwell when I walked halfway. ”

Liu Yan interjected: "No wonder, according to what the eldest sister said in the letter, I should have arrived in the capital last month, which is half a month late." ”

Princess Fuyu also whispered to Queen Cao: "My daughter feels that this time is not much different from the last time she was pregnant, the last time she was pregnant with Hui, she almost didn't feel anything, but this time she was easily sleepy, and her appetite has changed. ”

Empress Cao smiled and nodded, which can be regarded as letting go of a matter.

Meng Yuma's body is really reassuring, although there is Hui'er, but it can't be reassured, after all, the Meng family is still looking forward to a male grandson.

"Is your mother-in-law overjoyed?"

Princess Fuyu nodded: "Yes, I told her yesterday that she had to give me the land deed and the title deed, and she also gave me a large box of jewelry." ”

There is no shortage of these things, Princess Fuyu, it is rare to be Mrs. Meng's heart.
