The weather is gradually getting warmer, but the study of the Xiao Mansion is still burning with silver filaments and fine charcoal, and the baking room is warm.

There was a whole piece of tiger skin on the collapse, and there were several stacks of pieces of music on the pear blossom wood table, and a man in plain clothes leaned back, his eyes fell on the music in his right hand, and he took the medicine cup handed by Mei Xiang in his left hand and drank it all.

Mei Xiang took the empty bowl and took a few steps back, Lan Xiang stepped forward, holding a chisel enamel floral lacquer plate with both hands, and various candied fruits and snacks were placed on the plate.

The plain-clothed man skillfully picked out a piece of dim sum from it, put it to his mouth and tasted it, frowning: "Why are these things again?" Ming'er is different. ”

Lan Xiang's round face twitched, and she said respectfully: "Yes"

The man seemed to think of something, and said: "Tonight, I want to eat sauce duck, Huadiao drunken chicken, wild sea bass in sauce, stewed pigeon with wild mountain mushrooms, roast lamb leg in dense sauce, Bao Khan buckle Liao cucumber, steamed shrimp with glutinous rice, and osmanthus red bean cake." ”

The corners of Lan Xiang's mouth twitched even more, and she still said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Wang!" ”

The man said, "Today's supper doesn't need to be too rich, just five or six side dishes, three or four staple dishes." By the way, I'm going to take a shower in a moment. ”

Lan Xiang thought about the old lady's explanation, and couldn't help but say: "Back to the prince, the old lady said that your wound has not healed yet, and you can't get wet." ”

Yan Songyuan put down the concerto, stared at the two maids coldly, and the two fragrant legs were weak, and they knelt down hurriedly.

Yan Songyuan waved his hand and motioned for the two to go out, and the two incense hearts glanced at each other with palpitations, and left the study as if they were fleeing.

……

"Big grandma. Not only did he eat and drink, but he also said he wanted to bathe. But the old lady repeatedly told him that the wound had not healed and could not be wet. The slave didn't dare to make a good claim, so she had to come and ask the grandmother to show her. ”

Jiang Xinyao looked helplessly at the plum fragrance and orchid fragrance on the ground, and her temples ached faintly.

That master entered the Xiao Mansion to recuperate, not only the plums in the kitchen complained, but even the faces of the two incense looked haggard day by day.

Jiang Xinyao couldn't help but get angry.

You say you're a patient, what are you doing? It's up to your own temperament all day long. Want to make a play is a play, and let others not live?

Jiang Xinyao cursed a few words secretly. He sighed resignedly and said, "Let him be, endure it for a few more days, I estimate that it will be soon." ”

……

At night, Xiao Han. Xu Hongyuan hurried in.

After saluting, Xu Hongyuan said: "Second brother, Qin Tianjian has seen the day, the ninth day of the fourth month is a good day, and the canonization ceremony is set on that day." ”

Yan Huanyuan was stunned for a long time, and said with an uncertain expression: "How is his body?" ”

Xiao Han shook his head and said, "It's not good, Tianxiang said that it would last for another half a month at most." ”

Yan Songyuan said with a sad face: "Tomorrow, I will enter the palace to serve the sick." ”

"Second brother, your injury?" The two shouted in unison.

Yan Huanyuan waved his hand. touched the bandage wrapped around his heart and said, "It's okay, there is Tianxiang in it." You can rest assured. It's time for this king to show up, and his father is ...... Lasted long enough. ”

Xiao Han and Xu Hongyuan glanced at each other, and Xiao Han said extremely calmly: "Second brother, ...... sixteen"

Yan Songyuan glanced at Xu Hongyuan thoughtfully, and said, "Let him settle down in the army." Hurry back to Beijing. ”

Xu Hongyuan hesitated: "Second brother, I can't find half of the military rations in the army." Isn't it unstable for Sixteen to come back at this time? ”

Yan Songyuan nodded approvingly: "It's really not very stable, it's just that everything is just a filial piety, and everyone in the world looks at it." ”

The two nodded silently.

Yan Huanyuan picked up the piece at hand and sent it forward.

Xu Hongyuan took it, and saw that it was the chapter of the Criminal Department, and was about to look through it, but he heard Yan Songyuan say: "The chapter of the Criminal Department said that the fourth elder of the Su family confessed that the Su family secretly raised 200 dead soldiers, but there were more than 200 people who besieged me that day, and the military department finally cleaned up 265 people in black. ”

On the way back that day, the soldiers and horses set up camp at the foot of a mountain, and in the middle of the night, hundreds of killers dressed in black, armed with bright swords, attacked him.

Thinking of this, Yan Songyuan's eyes flashed and said, "If it wasn't for the fourth child of the Su family who lied, then there was a group of people who were chasing and killing me." ”

The two of them looked stunned, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother." ”

Yan Songyuan waved his hand, motioned for both of them to sit down, coughed lightly, and said, "I suddenly thought of Xiao Han and his aunt coming back from the army and being chased and killed all the way. At that time, Xiaohan's daughter-in-law also said that this thing was weird. ”

"What does the second brother mean, what is the connection between these two things?" Xu Hongyuan was shocked.

Yan Songyuan subconsciously took out the jade wrench in his arms, and played back and forth: "I can't figure it out, Xiaohan, you secretly help me check this matter." ”

Xiao Hansi said: "Second brother, this matter has to start with the Su family, and the number of dead soldiers must be determined first, so that we can go down." ”

Yan Huanyuan said with a hesitant face: "Don't worry, it's the fox that always shows its tail, discuss it with your daughter-in-law and listen to what she means." ”

Xiao Hangong said yes.

Yan Songyuan slowly touched his nose and thought: "In the matter of Huguang, you have emptied your family foundations, and this friendship, the second brother remembers it in his heart." My own brother doesn't say polite words, and the second brother owes you. ”

Xiao Han and Xu Hongyuan both got up, hugged their fists and said, "Don't dare to be." ”

Yan Songyuan sighed with satisfaction and said, "Xiao Han, the second brother has an uninvited invitation." ”

Xiao Han chuckled in his heart, thinking about Yaoyao's grievances in front of him last night, and said with a bitter face: "Second brother, as long as it's not the cook's business, the other second brothers just have to speak." ”

Yan Songyuan was surprised at first, then changed his mind a few times, and said quietly: "I haven't opened my mouth yet." ”

Xiao Han smiled bitterly: "Second brother, this cook was brought by Xin Yao from her mother's house, and she has been trained for nearly two years before she has today's cooking skills. She was pregnant and couldn't get used to eating other people's cooking. ”

Xu Hongyuan hurriedly answered, and said with a smile: "Second brother, it's better to go back and let the chef of the palace learn two tricks from Meizi, it's really not good, pick two from Yiyuan, and I'll let Yinggui train and train again." What do you think? ”

Seeing these two people with such expressions, the corners of Yan Songyuan's mouth curved and said, "That's it, there's no need to be so troublesome." When I wanted to eat it later, I went straight to the house. ”

……

Xiao Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

On March 20, King Jing, who had disappeared for nearly half a month, appeared in the court, and at the same time, there was news in the palace that the emperor was seriously ill and that King Jing was in charge of the country.

The twenty-seventh year of Tianshun, March 29. Mountain collapse.

The whole country mourns.

King Ping ran and killed six fast horses, and finally arrived at the palace before the emperor collapsed.

The ninth day of the fourth month. The new emperor ascended the throne, and the country name was Yongjia.

The dust has settled.

Half a month later, Jiang Xinyao, who was six months pregnant, took a walk in front of the court in the afternoon, for some reason. Suddenly fainted, and the person did not wake up.

……

In the main hall of the East Courtyard.

On the Taishi chair of the yellow rosewood, the two people on the left and the right frowned and looked at the gloomy man on the chair, and sighed at the same time.

Not long after, Xu Hongyuan came in from outside wearing a single coat and sweating, and before he could sit down, he said, "Why did you faint so well?" ”

Du Tianxiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you here?" I just got promoted to the head of the household, so I won't stay in the yamen. Come and join in the fun. ”

Xu Hongyuan ignored him, and just asked the old lady about his niece.

The granddaughter-in-law's own uncle can't hide it if he wants to. Xiao Ting truthfully told Xu Hongyuan about Xin Yao's illness.

When Xu Hongyuan heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat and sat on the chair in a daze, silent. After a while, he said angrily: "Since she was diagnosed at the age of four months, her body is not suitable for carrying a double body, and her life will be in danger, Tianxiang." Why didn't you tell us at the time? ”

Du Tianxiang secretly glanced at the old lady and made a circle of drafts. Pondering: "Ah Yuan, even if you say it, it's useless, four months pregnant with a double body, if you have a baby, it is also an extremely dangerous thing." I discussed with my grandfather that it would be better to secretly think of some ways to see if the mother and son could be safe. ”

Xu Hongyuan's chest froze, and he couldn't speak.

Xiao Han, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Have you figured out a way?" ”

Du Tianxiang hurriedly said: "My grandfather and I plan to wait for my cousin-in-law to be nearly eight months pregnant and give birth to the child, so that adults and children can be safe." ”

"What are the odds?"

Du Tianxiang groaned, and said lightly: "Forty." Xiao Han, even if it is a normal woman giving birth, one foot is stepping on the palace of Hades. ”

Xiao Han's eyes darkened, and he said, "Does she know?" ”

The old lady shook his head and nodded abruptly.

Du Tianxiang hurriedly approached, raised his eyebrows and said, "Grandpa, did you tell her?" ”

The old lady shook her head and sighed, "She is such a smart person, why do you need me to tell her." What's wrong with your own body, you can understand it when you think about it. Your cousin-in-law seems to be weak, but her heart is extremely strong, and she pretended not to say a word. ”

"Grandpa, why do you say that?"

The old lady couldn't bear to say: "You were in the palace a few days ago, and you didn't know many things. According to her body, at the age of five months, she should have dizziness, chest tightness, swollen limbs, poor breathing, fainting, and she has been unable to support her for six months, why do you say? ”

"Why?" Xu Hongyuan frowned.

"Because in addition to drinking the medicine I prescribed, she also helped herself with her diet, basking in the sun for an hour every day, her legs were swollen like that, and she walked in the garden every day holding the hands of her subordinates, and she never rested for a day. With her body, she has to pant for a long time when she turns over, and the couple sleep in the same bed every day, Xiaohan only knows that she is not in good health until today, which shows her patience. The old lady stroked her beard and sighed.

"Xiao Han, this is something that my grandfather did wrong, and I want Tianxiang to hide it from you. My grandfather thought that he was 50% sure that he should always give it a go. ”

Xiao Han couldn't help himself, and after listening to these words, he looked coldly at the two people on the Taishi's chair.

For the first time in his life, Du Tianxiang saw his brother who had played since he was a child looking at him with such eyes, and his heart ached.

He smiled at Xiao Leng and said, "Cousin, you don't have to look at me like this. My grandfather and I didn't have a day when we weren't thinking about it. The reason why my cousin-in-law is in today's critical situation is that the third lady of the Jiang family has made great contributions, and the old lady of the Jiang family can also be regarded as a meritorious worker. You have the ability, why don't you go to them to settle accounts. ”

Xu Hongyuan saw that the faces of the two were not quite different, and hurriedly said: "Why bother talking about the past." It's only right to figure out how to get through these two months. ”

As soon as the words fell, an exclamation came from the back room: "Grandma is awake." (To be continued)
