This night, Chu Qianlan not only satisfied her appetite, but also felt unprecedented satisfaction because of her mood.

Ruotang was tossed over and over by him for most of the night, and he was already so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, but he always felt that something was ignored by himself. If you don't want to get up, you can't sleep soundly, staring at the top of the tent embroidered with a white crane playing in the water with big blank eyes.

"Not sleepy yet?" Seeing her appearance, Chu Qianlan couldn't help but waver in her decision to let her go, if she wasn't sleepy, he would have wanted to accompany her all night.

Ruotang felt worried when he saw his eyes that were still shining green, and slapped his face away, wrapped around the quilt and squirmed twice, showing his determination to stay away from this hungry wolf that would never be fed.

Chu Qianlan died down and lay down beside her, "What do you think, don't sleep yet." ”

Ruotang thought about it for a long time. Finally, with her dull head at this time, she remembered an important thing that she had almost forgotten, "I met my brother-in-law when I returned home today, and he said something to me, thinking that you should give me an explanation." Rajah. What do you think? ”

Chu Qianlan frowned, thought about it, and then said, "What else did my uncle say?" ”

"He also said that we will work hard during this time, and it will be good to get through it. I can't figure it out, does the prince want to help me solve my doubts? ”

"Your brother-in-law is really powerful, but he was bumped into once, and he is afraid that he has already guessed it all." It is rare for Chu Qianlan to praise someone so sincerely.

"He said he was just a leopard in the tube, and he didn't guess much."

"As far as he glimpsed, it's enough for him to figure everything out, otherwise how can he tell you so sure that it's good to get through this paragraph?" Chu Qianlan sighed, "It's not that I won't tell you, it's just that I haven't started to do it yet, there are many things that are not ready, and I still need to plan well to ensure that nothing goes wrong before I can give it a go." ”

"Dangerous?" Ruotang frowned.

"It's a matter of life and death!" He looked at Ruotang seriously, "Are you afraid?" ”

"Is it difficult for you to ...... You want to kill the king? Ruotang's eyes widened in horror. Suddenly the drowsiness disappeared. Thinking that his voice was too loud, he hurriedly suppressed his voice to the point that only the two of them could hear.

"How dare this king do such a big rebellious thing." Chu Qianlan knocked Ruotang's head angrily, "Could it be that in your heart, this king is a martial artist with brute force, who only knows how to kill and fight?" In this case, it is not the king who is in charge. This king is just helping from the side. ”

"Who are you going to help? Prince? "The prince intends to win over their husband and wife, and the queen is also very kind to her, and today she came out of the queen mother's palace, and the queen also specially asked people to send her two jade ornaments, so that she could play with them, and go to Jingyang Palace to sit and sit when she is free, which shows the intention of the queen and the prince to their husband and wife. So he decided to stand on the side of the prince and help the prince deal with the brothers who coveted the prince's position?

"The prince could not give birth to a son. Even if he sits on that chair one day, sooner or later he will have to be driven down, this king doesn't have the leisure time to help him all the time, besides, the prince's body is ten years to survive, and it is in vain to help him ascend to the throne. Chu Qianlan snorted disdainfully, obviously the prince was not optimistic.

"King Jin is even more impossible." Now that King Jin is a thorn in his side when he is a husband and wife, Chu Qianlan is not crazy, so it is impossible to get involved with him.

is not the crown prince, not the king of Jin, then the most powerful person in the court is the steady and steady Duan Wang.

"Duanwang?" Duanwangfu did show kindness to their husband and wife, but it was not as positive as the prince. And King Duan still seems to have some scruples about the prince, and he doesn't dare to woo them with as much fanfare as the prince. "Are you going to help him?"

Chu Qianlan smiled and shook her head, "That person Duan Wang, looking at the gentleman Duan Fang, is actually not much better than King Jin." ”

Of course, Ruotang also knew that she had always remembered that this Duan Wangye, who looked like a humble and gentle noble son, had beaten the idea of Princess Guoan with despicable means.

"It's not King Duan, so who else can it be?" Ruotang was even more confused by him.

"Do you remember King Kang?" Chu Qianlan didn't go around in circles anymore and asked her directly.

"King Kang?" Ruotang blinked, he didn't think of this King Kang, this guy is round or flat, tall or short, fat or thin, he is completely a low-key and transparent king who does not attract attention at all, right? He ...... I wasn't impressed at all. Such an unknown king, you are sure that you want to help him, why don't you just choose yourself? ”

"The infamous reputation of this king has long been destined to have nothing to do with that position." Chu Qianlan said lightly, "Besides, is it really enjoyable to be an emperor?" I haven't seen it, this king doesn't seem to be so enjoyable when he looks at the current emperor, you see that he is not yet fifty, and the big folds on his face can be used as buns if he pinched them. ”

Ruotang listened to his vicious slander of the emperor, and said with a smile: "You are notorious, King Kang is unknown, how do you help him ascend to the throne?" ”

"Although King Kang is unknown, he is not stupid. This king chose him because he was more capable than the crown prince and King Duanwang of Jin. Chu Qianlan smiled meaningfully at her: "It is not easy to be unknown for ten years without being noticed. Without...... If it weren't for his uncle, the king wouldn't have noticed him. ”

"My brother-in-law?" Ruotang was confused, was her brother-in-law also involved?

"This king saw his uncle and him appear in a theater garden at the same time to watch a play."

"It can't be a coincidence, right?" Ruotang is speechless, what kind of evidence is this?

"It is indeed likely to be a coincidence that the two of them appeared in the same opera garden at the same time, but the two entered the opera garden and disappeared at the same time, and then when the play was about to end, the two appeared in front of people one after the other, do you still think this is a coincidence?" Chu Qianlan raised her eyebrows and asked her.

Ruotang thought for a while and agreed with his statement, "So what do you mean, because my brother-in-law seems to have a good personal relationship with King Kang, so you decided to help King Kang?" ”

"It's not all because of my uncle...... These things are boring, and the king of Japan will tell you in detail when he changes, it's too late, go to bed. Chu Qianlan, who was afraid of being bored to Ruotang, casually diverted the topic.

Ruotang was speechless for a while, didn't she hear that she was in high spirits? But thinking that he was for his own body, he didn't continue to hold on. This person's macho thinking that the family affairs in his bones are women's and the external affairs are men's is not something that can be reversed in a moment, and it is not easy for him to get to this point, so he can only guide it slowly.

Alas, it's easy for her to get married and fall in love, she's tired and hard!

Something seems wrong? Forget it, I'm too sleepy, sleep!

……

The competition between Duan Qingyi and Zhongmei has entered a white-hot stage.

Duan Qingyi, who was worried about Chu Qianlan, couldn't directly and brutally kill Zhongmei, and his depressed mood can be imagined.

Zhongmei, who couldn't directly defeat Duan Qingyi and get the "pass" to see Chu Qianlan, became more and more frustrated, and all kinds of provocations and methods were used. Ruotang only listened to the news from the Changchun Pavilion as if he was watching a good show, and his mood was very comfortable and comfortable. Anyway, she has already obtained the message of the Queen Mother, and now depending on which one dares to make too much trouble, she can use it as a chicken to kill a good monkey.

It's a pity that none of these beauties are fuel-efficient, and those who don't lose their hands don't leave any handles, and Ruotang, who is waiting to catch the current one, can't help but want to just start first.

When it was time to eat in the morning, Wanru brought the so-called health soup again, "Niangniang, it's time to drink soup." ”

"Can you stop drinking?" Ruotang wrinkled his nose and muttered to Chu Qianlan beside him, "I'm in good health, what kind of health soup do you drink?" Besides, it's been a few days since you've been drinking, so it's time to stop, right? ”

"Didn't Dr. Lu say that winter is a good time to take supplements, this soup is good for your body, drink it quickly." Chu Qianlan looked non-negotiable, and looked at her with an expression that was almost stern.

Whenever she wanted to be coquettish and refused to drink this strange taste of health soup, he would become very serious, and he had to personally urge her to finish the soup, as if she would pour it out behind his back.

What kind of health soup is worthy of his solemnity?

"I don't want to drink anymore." Although it didn't work, she still habitually wanted to resist, "The taste is really weird, I don't like it." ”

"This king will drink with you, it's all right." Chu Qianlan looked like she couldn't do anything, she first picked up the bowl and took a sip, and handed the bowl to Ruotang under the worried and eager gaze that was like a word to stop, "After drinking, not a drop is left." ”

Ruotang had to grit his teeth and close his eyes, picked up the bowl and poured it into a few gulps, then grinned and rinsed his mouth violently with a teacup, and when he rinsed his mouth, he looked at Chu Qianlan faintly like a resentful woman, "I don't know if this soup can be healthy, but what I can be sure of is that if I drink it like this, I will go crazy one day sooner or later." ”

"What nonsense." Seeing that she obediently drank the soup, Chu Qianlan patted her head, "I'm not going to the Pingguo Mansion today to celebrate my birthday, it's not early, so why don't you go and clean up." ”

Seeing Ruotang go back to the house to clean up in frustration, Chu Qianlan took the teacup she had just rinsed and rinsed her mouth.

Wanru stood beside him and whispered worriedly, "Lord Wang, you can't drink that soup in the future, it contains highly poisonous things, you ...... You always have to pay attention to your body! ”

Chu Qianlan waved her hand lightly, "It's just a mouthful, it doesn't matter." Besides, this king can be forced out even if he drinks it, and it won't hurt anything. ”

"Even so, ...... "After all, it has entered the body, and even if it is forced out, it may not be able to be completely forced out, in case there is a toxin residue, one bite today and one bite tomorrow, and it will accumulate a lot."

"Lord Wang, you can come in and help me see which clothes I wear to the banquet." Ruotang called out in a soft voice.

"Here we are." Chu Qianlan got up and glanced at Wanru warningly, "Don't let the princess see anything." ”

"Yes, the slave knows." Wanru lowered her head helplessly, perhaps, the princess would never know what the prince had done for her.

……

Shen Mansion.

Today, Shen Anbang is at home, Shen Anbang, who was seriously ill because of Shen Ruolan's death, has become thinner, and white hair has appeared overnight between his temples, and his waist seems to be a little stiffer, and he will no longer be dignified as before.

After having breakfast at his aunt's place, he went to Mrs. Shen's courtyard to say goodbye.

Since Shen Ruolan's death, Mrs. Shen has been like crazy, no longer well-behaved and docile as before, and she wants to avenge Sister Lan, and when she talks to him, she also complains and asks him why he doesn't avenge Sister Lan. He began to sympathize with her bereaved daughter, and patiently explained that it was the meaning of the emperor's holy judgment, the emperor said that this matter had nothing to do with the evil obstacle, and the Shen Mansion was still clamoring to take the evil obstacle to Sister Lan'er, isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor? It's a pity that no matter what he says, she can't listen, and Shen Anbang gradually stopped returning to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Shen also suffered a lot of blows because of Shen Ruolan's death, and she had a lot of expectations for Shen Ruolan to marry into the Jin Palace, pointing to her ability to help her brothers and sisters in the family, and to use the relationship between the King of Jin to find a better future for the second and third children. Which Cheng wanted to marry for a short period of time, but he died with a whimper, this disappointment is naturally not small.

And because the winter is approaching, the weather is cold day by day, Shen Taijun is easy to relapse in winter, although there has been no recurrence this year, but Shen Anbang did not dare to be careless at all, and carefully asked the maid who served the old lady a lot of questions, before he put his mind at ease.

I personally fed Mrs. Shen the medicine and was about to retire, when I heard the old lady ask in a hoarse voice, "How is your lady doing, but she is still like that?" ”

It seems that she is also very dissatisfied with Mrs. Shen's recent performance, and his wife is the distant niece of the old lady. On weekdays, I keep praising her, but today I don't even bother to call her name. It can be seen that what Mrs. Shen has done these days, she has seen it all.

"Sister Lan went suddenly, and she couldn't slow down for a while." Shen Anbang sighed, "You don't care about her, she still has to worry about the marriage of her two sons, and she will get better herself." ”

"Sister Lan went, who is not sad or distressed? But as the head of the house, she is so depressed and thunderous all day long, how can she manage the affairs of the house? Under this year's festival, it is the busiest time of the year, but she is picking, what should the people in this house do? ”

Shen Anbang was about to speak, but Old Taijun Shen's cloudy eyes stared at him, and said without doubt: "I have already agreed with the You family of the second family, these days, let her temporarily take charge of the affairs of the house." When she's all right, she'll take over again. "What a low-level lead.

"Yes, but by mother's arrangement." Shen Anbang didn't dare to object, and lowered his head in response.

Old Taijun Shen hooked the corners of her stern mouth with satisfaction, "There is a banquet in the Pingguo Mansion today, have we ever received a post from the Shen Mansion?" ”

Shen Anbang's fair face immediately burned red, and he lowered his head more and more, "No." ”

Old Mrs. Shen frowned unhappily, and sneered again and again: "Our Shen Mansion is also a family of first-class members of the imperial court, and there are many people in the family who have orders in their bodies, but they can't even enter the eyes of the Pingguo Mansion?" ”

Shen Anbang's lips twitched twice, and he still said: "Because of Sister Lan'er's murder of Princess Jin, the Pingguo Mansion is afraid that our Shen Mansion will hold a grudge." The military generals of the Pingguo Mansion are talking about personal death and grudges, otherwise we can't easily ...... this time."

If it were someone else, this incident alone would be enough for Shen Fu to drink a big pot. Although the Shen Mansion is not afraid, it is a troublesome matter after all.

Old Mrs. Shen glared at Shen Anbang fiercely, "Isn't our Sister Lan innocent, to put it mildly, it's all to blame for the good evil obstacle you gave birth to." If it weren't for her, how could my Sister Lan be in trouble! She is good, now she is her princess Xiang, and because of this matter, she has been in the Pingguo Mansion, you look at it, in a few days, she can still put the Shen Mansion in her eyes! ”

Shen Anbang was inexplicably a little irritable, and wanted to tell Shen that the old lady had long since taken the Shen Mansion in her eyes, and the Zhou family was her backer. Thinking of the Zhou family, and then thinking of the fact that the Zhou family, which was reported by the foreign manager, secretly destroyed several shops of the Shen family and cut off the supply of goods for the Shen family, Shen Anbang became even more irritable.

"Don't be angry, your son will handle these things, you can take care of them with peace of mind." Shen Anbang, who couldn't get warmth from his mother, decided to retreat, "The beginning of the year is spring, Brother Jun and Brother Jia are going to try, and it is rare for my son to take a break, so I will urge them to study." ”

Hearing this, Old Taijun Shen's anger subsided a little, "Go ahead, you teach me well, my two good grandsons are smart and clever, and they will definitely be nominated on the list." ”

Who knew that Shen Anbang, who was full of enthusiasm and wanted to teach his sons to read well, went to Shen Youjun's yard, but he didn't see anyone, and the little maids all looked flickering, which couldn't help but make him suspicious.

"Where's the eldest young master?" Shen Anbang asked sharply.

This early in the morning, I don't have to go to the academy, I don't want to study in my room for the next spring exam, and I still run outside, what kind of system will I become!

"The eldest young master ......" The little man lay on the ground, and replied in a hurry: "The eldest young master received a letter from the eldest son of Lord Xue's family yesterday, saying that he wanted to ask the eldest young master to study together, and the eldest young master went to Xue's house to study early in the morning. ”

Shen Anbang's expression was slightly dark, "Really? ”

"The little one will never dare to deceive the master!"

"That's it." Shen Anbang waved his sleeves and went to the yard of his second son, but he thought that the yard of his second son was also empty, and the little guy actually said the same thing, saying that he was going out to study.

Now, Shen Anbang doesn't care about family affairs anymore, and he knows that something is wrong.

He summoned all the maids and maids of his two sons, and after a while of serving with sticks, finally someone couldn't stand the move.

"The two young masters went out early in the morning, but the minions didn't know where they went. Recently, the two young masters often go out together, and every time they go out, they are very short-tempered, who dares to persuade them to kill people immediately, and the little ones don't dare to persuade them, but every time they come back, the two young masters are in a good mood, and they have become very hard at reading, and the little ones think ...... thought it wasn't a bad thing, so he didn't tell his wife and master. ”

"You don't even know where the young master went, what do I do in the Shen Mansion to raise you minions?" Shen Anbang, who was already angry, was furious, "Come on, pull all these useless ones out for me and sell them." ”

At this moment, Shen Youjun and Shen Youjia walked in energetically, and when they saw the battle in the courtyard, the two of them were startled at first, and then, Shen Youjia, who was even more loved by Shen Anbang, hurriedly jumped over, "Dad, this early in the morning, what kind of fire did you make?" ”

"Early in the morning, where did you go?" As he approached, a rather familiar sweet smell entered Shen Anbang's nose.

He frowned, and when he remembered what this sweet smell was, his eyes immediately turned red and his mind dizzy, "Evil obstacles, evil obstacles!" Get down on your knees! ”

After driving away the people in the courtyard, Shen Anbang angrily grabbed the bolt of the door and smashed it towards his two sons, who he had always been proud of, "Say, did you secretly go to the nameless village!" ”

"Dad, Dad, I have something to say!" Shen Youjia couldn't stop begging for mercy when he was beaten.

Shen Youjun was older, and asked bitterly: "Father, what's wrong with Wumingzhuang?" The sons didn't cause trouble, but they went to the nameless village and used the worry medicine a few times, where is it worth your big temper? ”

"What kind of good thing do you still think of that anxiety pill?" Shen Anbang's forehead jumped straight.

Although he didn't know what the anxiety medicine was, many people in the court were already obsessed with it. If I hadn't been a guest at my colleague's house that day, I would have seen my colleague's ugly appearance in public because he didn't use the worry medicine in time. Even though he was alert, he instinctively knew that it was not a good thing. There are also many people who give gifts and filial piety, because he is vigilant in his heart, he has not used it once, he never thought that the son of the family has been hooked!

"What's wrong?" Shen Youjia shouted unconvinced: "Grandmother also said yes, in previous years, grandmother couldn't get up from the bed when she was tossed by Chen Disease, you see, grandmother looks a lot better this year." ”

Shen Anbang only felt that his mind was even more dizzy, and he shook his hands and asked sharply, "Not only did you use it yourself, but also used it for your grandmother?" ”

Shen Youjun realized the seriousness of the situation and asked cautiously, "Father, what's wrong with this anxiety pill?" My second brother and I didn't feel any physical discomfort, and every time we used the anxiety forgetting medicine, we felt very good spirits, reading books was not difficult at all, and it was usually difficult to understand and write down, but after using the anxiety forgetting medicine, it was like divine help, and even the master said that my son had made great progress recently......

"Really?" When Shen Anbang heard this, his expression eased slightly, if the anxiety forgetting medicine not only did not damage the body, but could also help in reading, it was just a matter of spending some silver.

The Shen Mansion naturally did not lack this bit of silver.

"Why don't you try it too, Dad?" Shen Youjia boldly suggested, "You have tried it, and you know the beauty of the anxiety medicine!" ”
