Chapter 144: Make-the-Fly Choice

The newlywed days are often spent in the ears and temples grinding each other, and the relatives are in the same shadow, but in fact, Zhan Shaofeng will only go back to the house to rest in the evening in the past two days, and in the end, Zhilan stays alone in the mansion more often.

Originally, Zhan Shaofeng's plan when he went to the capital was to stay here for a while longer, and personally cultivate his own contacts in the capital and pave the way, so that the Zhan family's business would be more accessible to the world. After a few years, when the affairs here can be handed over to skilled subordinates, he will marry Zhilan and return to Hangzhou. Which Cheng thought that this matter of royal engagement had happened, so he had to take action first, disrupting his original plan.

In fact, even if Zhan Shaofeng marries Zhilan, he can stay in the capital first, and when the time is ripe, the young couple will leave Beijing together, which is also safe. But when he asked the two elders of the Lin family to marry, Lin Mubai's first request was for him to take Zhilan back to Jiangnan as soon as possible. This is also reasonable, no one wants their daughter to get involved in trouble again and again. What's more, the capital has always been a place of right and wrong, so it's better to stay away.

Therefore, Zhan Shaofeng's immediate priority is to quickly arrange for people to stay in the capital and complete some affairs that must be handled in person before leaving the capital. Leaving his newlywed little wife at home, he was naturally very reluctant, so when he was out with Guanyun on the first day, he specially asked him to ask Qi Xuan to come over to talk to Zhilan. So on the second day, Qi Xuan went to Zhanfu accompanied by Xiao Guanfeng.

In fact, Zhan Shaofeng's worries were quite unnecessary. There are those medical books sent by Sheng Xuanyuan, Zhilan is so fresh, I can't finish reading it, where will I be lonely. So when Qi Xuan and Guanfeng arrived, what they saw was Zhilan lazily leaning on the chaise longue, holding a thick copy of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion" in her hand and reading intently.

The thrush who was serving on the side saw them coming, so he wanted to remind Zhilan, and as soon as he opened his mouth and shouted, "Young lady-", Zhilan immediately put down the book and frowned and said: "I've said it a few times, don't call me like that, it sounds awkward......"

"Hey, it's still like this when you're married." Qi Xuan said with a smile as he entered the room.

When Zhilan heard the prestige, she was overjoyed and said, "Sister Xuan, Feng'er! How did you guys get here? Didn't you say you'd be back tomorrow? As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled Qi Xuan with one hand and watched the wind with the other.

"Tomorrow's back, won't we come today?" Qi Xuan smiled and looked Zhilan up and down, and sighed for a long time: "Oops, it's still different!" ”

Zhilan hurriedly looked down at herself, and asked stupidly, "What's different?" ”

Qi Xuan looked at her with meaningful eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, then pointed to her new cloud bun and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Zhilan was stunned at first, but then she understood, so she pushed Qi Xuan with a red face, and said, "Sister Xuan, how has it changed, you never said this before......"

Guan Feng pinched his chin to look at this and that, and after pondering for a long time, he didn't know what dumb riddles these two were playing, but he felt that he was left out in the cold, so he wanted to attract the attention of the two of them, so he suddenly said: "I heard my brother say today that the fourth prince in the palace has a strange disease and is about to die." ”

This news really shocked the two sisters-in-law who were pushing and shoving, and when they saw the two of them looking over at the same time, Qi Xuan was the first to ask, "Why didn't he tell me?" ”

Guan Feng grinned twice before saying, "He didn't tell me either." ”

"Then ...... you" Qi Xuan was still puzzled.

At this time, Zhilan said: "He must have overheard it, Feng'er has some internal strength now-" As she spoke, she suddenly opened her mouth as if she had been hit on the head.

"Lan'er, what's wrong with you?" Qi Xuan pushed Zhilan worriedly and asked.

"Oh my God!" Zhilan stomped her foot heavily, turned her head to the thrush and said, "Go back!" Bring me that black urn in my room! And that packet of medicine pressed against the lid! Be quick! ”

Thrush was startled by her, and after reacting, she hurriedly asked, "Miss, isn't that room the only one you can enter?" Besides, the slave doesn't have a key......"

"Oh yes, the key ......" Zhilan touched her body in a panic, took out a copper spoon and handed it to the thrush and said: "Be careful when you take it, don't open the can, and don't break it!" ”

"The slave knows." Thrush hurriedly took the key and hurried away.

Guan Feng shook his head and looked at Zhilan and said, "Sister, that's the fourth prince, the opponent of our family...... He just happened to be dead, so why should you worry so much. ”

Zhilan watched the figure of the thrush disappear outside the door, turned her head and glared at the wind fiercely, and whispered in a very stern tone: "This kind of thing, only once, don't say it again!" Do you want to cause trouble for our family? ”

watched the wind and stopped, pursed his lips a little aggrievedly, and sat on the chair without speaking.

This time, she felt that she was being excluded by Qi Xuan, and she looked at the two sisters and brothers in confusion, not understanding what was going on. It's no wonder she doesn't understand that this matter is in the Lin family, and only the sister and brother know about it.

Zhilan also sat on the chair and looked stunned, looking preoccupied. Of course she would be nervous. If it weren't for the fact that she suddenly got married and forgot her daily routine - feeding poison to the mother Gu of the Heart Devouring Gu, the four princes would not have suddenly become ill. She didn't need to ask to know that the fourth prince was not suffering from a strange disease at all, but a Gu worm that was eating his internal organs in his body. Fortunately, it was only two days, so it didn't cause much damage. Because when this Heart Devouring Gu is attacked, although it will be painful, it will not make people die quickly, and it is the most suitable to manipulate and coerce the Gu Master.

In fact, when she put so much effort into cultivating this Gu, she originally wanted to plant it on the four princes. Because the situation at that time was extremely threatening to the Lin family, she had no choice but to do it. But later, when she really planted Gu on the four princes, her mood was extremely complicated. A person's life is firmly in her hands. Manipulating other people's lives and deaths at will is a huge burden for her, not a sense of accomplishment.

Judging from the current situation, the Liu family has been defeated, although the emperor's attitude is still unclear, but the qualifications and popularity of the third prince are obviously much higher than those of the fourth prince. As long as the emperor is impartial, the future world is destined to be Shengxuanyuan. And she is about to marry Jiangnan, and she no longer wants to have anything to do with the battle in the capital.

She didn't want to take the Gu Mother on the road, but she also didn't want the lives of the four princes to end in her hands. Or unraveling Gu? The antidote is Sheng Xuanyuan's blood......

Thinking of this, she already had an idea.
