Chapter 024: Strength
When Lu Chengan and Chen Zhixiu arrived at the Pingxi General's Mansion, it was already the beginning of the lanterns.
Several ladies said goodbye to Qin Ranran, and each left in the carriage where they came.
Chen Zhixiu seemed to be a lot haggard in these two short hours, and he looked at the silent Fu Jia, his eyes were a little red.
Carefully helping Fu Jia into the carriage, Chen Zhixiu stood under the carriage and hesitated for a while, but still got into the car and sat next to Fu Jia.
There were no candles lit in the carriage, and in the dim light, Chen Zhixiu couldn't see Fu Jia's expression clearly, he only saw the extremely familiar figure sitting there motionless.
"Fuga." The words that finally came out of his mouth were a little trembling and pleading, "It's me who can't protect you." Fuga, it's me who can't stand you. ”
Fu Jia moved, his cold hand groped around Chen Zhixiu's body for a while, Chen Zhixiu reached out and took her hands into his heart.
"Brother Axiu, I'm afraid." Fu Jia's body trembled slightly, "This happened to my father and mother at the same time, and I ...... I'm scared. ”
"Fujia, there's me, there's me. I didn't protect you well before, but now that I know, I will definitely try my best to relieve the poison in your body for Your Majesty and you, and I will definitely protect you well. Chen Zhixiu hugged the trembling Fujia into his arms.
The person in his arms seemed to feel the warmth and slowly calmed down.
"Brother Axiu, is it a mother-in-law?" Fujia didn't look up.
Chen Zhixiu hugged Fu Jia a little harder: "Maybe, I'm not sure." ”
"If I make a move, Brother Axiu, don't blame me." Fu Jia grabbed Chen Zhixiu's shirt, and his tone slowly returned to calm.
Chen Zhixiu's tone was firm: "My eldest brother and I won't blame you, as for my father's side, if he has an opinion, then we will go to the princess's mansion to live, and then we will have to trouble you to find Your Majesty and find an errand for your eldest brother." ”
"Okay."
Cheng'en Mansion.
"Tomorrow you go to the queen and find an opportunity to remind her to clean up the people in the palace." In the dimly lit study, Cheng Engong's voice was tired.
Mrs. Song lit a candle in distress and poured a cup of hot tea for her husband.
"I'll go to the palace gate early tomorrow morning and wait, should I tell her about His Majesty and Fujia over there?"
"Don't tell her yet, Niangniang's pregnancy matters." Cheng Engong pondered for a moment and slowly spoke.
Even if His Majesty's poison cannot be lifted, it must be delayed until after the mother gives birth, if it is a prince, it is enough, if it is a princess...... The husband and wife looked up at each other, and worry flashed in their eyes.
"Cheng'an, tomorrow I'm going to go to the Fengguo Mansion, and Miss Song of the Cheng'en Mansion will also be with me. I'll have to figure it out for myself to find out what the problem is. Qin Ranran served Lu Cheng'an and changed into homely clothes and said.
Although Lu Chengan didn't want her to take risks, he also knew that if he wanted to meddle in this matter, this trip was a must.
"Ranran, you have to pay attention. I don't want you to slip up. If you don't want to go, then don't meddle in this matter, Your Majesty and Niangniang's side I'll explain. The warm, large hand grasped the slender hand that was helping him hang his armor.
When Qin Ranran heard this, she only felt a hot current surging in her heart, and she looked up with a smile: "Cheng'an, you know, I don't have many friends who can talk, it's rare to meet Fujia and Yun'er, I don't want them to have anything to do." ”
If you start from the safety and status of the General's Mansion, Lu Chengan may not necessarily agree to put himself in danger. But if you start with your own preferences, he will definitely agree.
Sure enough, Lu Chengan's eyes softened: "It's good if you're happy, but you must pay attention to safety." Forget it, I'll find someone to protect you. ”
Qin Ranran smiled: "I'll go to the inner courtyard of the Fengguo Mansion, will your secret guards still secretly follow me in?" ”
"Naturally, I have a way to let them in openly." Lu Chengan raised his eyebrows proudly.
He pushed open the window and said loudly, "Lu Jiu, come here." ”
In an instant, a woman in black with smart eyes and a beautiful appearance jumped from the tree: "General, madam." ”
Qin Ranran's mouth opened wide in surprise, it turned out that the secret guard also had a woman......
"In the future, you will follow Madame, and you must ensure Madame's safety." Lu Chengan solemnly instructed the woman in black outside the window.
"Yes, my subordinates will definitely guarantee the safety of my wife." Lu Jiu clasped his hands into fists and bowed.
Lu Chengan turned around, just in time to see Qin Ranran's surprised appearance, and couldn't help laughing.
He reached out and touched Qin Ranran's cheek: "Ranran, you can stuff an egg in your mouth." ”
Qin Ranran's face turned red and muttered in a low voice, "I just didn't expect it...... There is such a good-looking little girl in the dark guard. ”
"In the future, she will be the big girl by your side, so that she will usually accompany you." Lu Chengan felt that Qin Ranran, who looked like this, was very cute, and reached out and pinched her face again.
Qin Ranran's face turned even redder, and the corners of her eyes slanted slightly outside the window, there was no one anymore, and she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ranran, I'm hungry, let Mother Liu set the dinner." Lu Chengan looked at Qin Ranran's already reddened neck and decided not to provoke her again.
Mother Liu thought that the two of them had a cold wind blowing in the palace today, and they didn't eat any hot food, so she ordered the kitchen to make a pot for dinner.
Lamb and venison sliced like cicada wings, white yam and sweet potato chunks, green vegetables that are rare in winter...... One by one, the plates were served, but there were many kinds but the number was relatively small.
Lu Chengan looked at the milky white chicken soup that had been boiling in the copper pot in front of him, helped Qin Ran to pinch a few slices of mutton and put them in her bowl, and carefully mixed the seasoning. Then he turned to Mother Liu and said, "Mother Liu, come here with a few more plates of meat, you don't have to wait here, go eat some warmth." ”
Mother Liu smiled yes, and then brought a pot of meat.
Qin Ranran was simply stunned, she looked at the basin in front of her that was as big as the copper basin she cleaned, and wondered if Lu Chengan could eat it.
It turns out that Lu Chengan not only could eat, but also ate everything she couldn't eat.
After going to the garden to eliminate food, Mai Sui served Qin Ranran to bathe and clean her face and apply balsam.
Qin Ranran combed her hair, walked over and touched Lu Chengan's lean waist, and asked curiously, "You have eaten so much, where have you eaten?" ”
Lu Chengan smiled and asked, "Have you dried your hair?" With that, he reached out and touched her half-dried hair, took the clean cotton cloth from Mai Sui's hand, and carefully helped her wipe the green silk on her hair.
Then, according to the method of the Wheat Ears Church, I took a hand stove with orange peel to help her dry it slowly.
looks like a serious and noble son.
It wasn't until she lay down on the bed that Qin Ranran was violently pressed down, and Lu Chengan gently gnawed on her small and smooth earlobes, and said softly: "It's all turned into strength and kept for now." ”
Qin Ranran: ......
