Recalling the scenes when Zhang Yuying played her, Du Yuyan was extremely unhappy, but looking at Zhu Ran, who was disillusioned at this time, she faintly felt a trace of happiness. said to Zhu Ran: "Sister, don't worry about it, think about your situation!" ”

After hearing this, Zhu Ran smiled coldly, slowly stood up from the ground, brushed away the dust on his body, looked at Du Yuyan and said: "The queen mother is the daughter of Du Mansion, Du Yuxuan's matter, since Du Youcheng and Niangniang are worried, I really shouldn't worry about the sky." ”

Even if Zhuran reached such a point, Du Yuyan still envied her. Because even if Zhu Heyu believed and thought that Zhu Ran and Du Yuxuan were having an affair, he was still reluctant to hurt her. In order to save Zhuran's life, Zhu Heyu did not hesitate to block the news of the two, and even put Du Yuxuan in the prison and ordered Ling Chi to be executed, all under the pretense that Du Yuxuan was stealing a sword and almost murdering the Son of Heaven. Therefore, people who are related to Zhuran above the court, such as Zhuchangjun and Zhulang, will not be implicated. But the Du family is in a different situation. Du Yuxuan's attempt to kill the Son of Heaven failed, what kind of punishment will his father Du Yanzhuo follow, according to the laws of the country, those who murder the Son of Heaven will destroy the three clans, the father's clan, the mother's clan, and the wife's clan. Of course, the Cao family and the Yan family will be fine, but what about the Du family!

"Sister, forget a little, we are sisters! Prime Minister Du Cheng is not only the father of me and Xuan'er, but also the father of my sister, and my sister will never forget this! Du Yuyan paused and said, "Since my sister knows that Xuan'er is your own brother, how can you do such a shameful thing with Xuan'er?" ”

"Du Yuyan!" Zhu Ran tried to calm himself down, suppressed his anger and said, "You are really crazy! ”

Du Yuyan ignored Zhu Ran's words and continued: "You said that your father learned about this, what will happen? ”

Du Yanzhuo learned about this? Zhu Ran was imagining in his heart. But I heard Du Yuyan say again: "Actually, my father won't do anything, because in his heart, he doesn't regard you as a daughter at all." ”

Du Yuyan saw that Zhu Ran was unmoved, and continued: "I still remember the petition written by Wu Yimin, the county guard of Gunzhou County, and tens of thousands of people in Gunzhou County last spring to make you the princess of the first emperor!" So many ministers agreed, why did Prime Minister Cao Zuo, who never said much, have to speak to the emperor to oppose this matter, didn't my sister think about the reason? ”

I didn't think about it before, but after Du Yuyan said this, Zhu Ran also knew. That's because Du Yanzhuo wants Du Yuyan to be the princess, and when Zhu Heyu ascends the throne, it is logical to become the queen. Cao Zhen has always loved his daughter, and he has long regarded Du Yanzhuo as his in-law in his heart. At that time, above the court, Du Yanzhuo may have glanced at Cao Zhen.

Du Yuyan saw that Zhu Ran lost his mind for a while, and knew that Zhu Ran had figured it out. said softly: "My sister is really a poor person, she was given up by her adoptive father and biological father at the same time, and now she is given up by the emperor!" ”

Du Yuyan came today to humiliate and attack Zhuran. Because Du Yanzhuo wanted to give up his official career, he also had to go out with Zhuran. Yan Lingyu's father, Yan Jiyi, as the founding father of the Yuanzhen Kingdom, has a Danshu iron coupon given by Zhu Yu back then. On the eve of Zhu Heyu and Du Yuyan's marriage, Zhu Heyu took into account the suffering of the people, and in order to prevent Zhu Yun from issuing an order to conquer the small southwestern country of Mengton, he asked Yan Jiyi for the iron coupon. After Zhu Heyu ascended the throne, Zhu Heyu returned the iron coupon to Yan Jiyi, and wrote a holy decree saying that the coupon could be used twice.

This coupon has been in Yan Jiyi's hands for less than three months, and it came in handy. I heard that Du Yuxuan attempted to kill the Son of Heaven and was to be executed by Ling Chi. Yan Lingyu, who is a mother, asked Yan Jiyi for the iron coupon. One is to protect Du Yuxuan's life, and the other is to protect Du Yan's career. But when Du Yanzhuo learned the truth that Zhu Heyu was going to execute Du Yuxuan, he chose to exchange the iron coupon for Zhuran's freedom, he felt that he owed too much to Dong Yuqing and Zhuran, and was willing to exchange his career for Zhuran to avoid the suffering of the cold palace.

It's just that Zhu Heyu categorically won't agree to this move, and Yan Lingyu categorically won't agree either, it's just Du Yanzhuo's wishful thinking.

Du Yuyan was jealous, so he wanted to relieve the anger in his heart and go to Zhuran's side to reverse black and white.

Zhu Ran knew that Du Yanzhuo did not regard her as a daughter, and after listening to what Du Yuyan said, he was also uneasy. Now, she only cares about whether Du Yuxuan will really be executed by Zhu Heyu by Ling Chi.

However, Du Yuyan did not tell Zhu Ran, because Yan Jiyi's Danshu iron coupon saved Du Yuxuan's life, Du Yuxuan was cut from his official position, and he and Cao Shuyao had gone away, Zhu Heyu ordered that Du Yuxuan should not set foot in Kyoto again until he died, and he was not allowed to divorce his wife, nor to take another person, nor to recruit talents.

Since Du Yuyan left and Xiao Ge was sent to the cold palace, except for Zuo Yawei, who guarded the two of them, Zhu Ran never had a chance to see others, and he never heard the slightest news from outside. In the days of the cold palace, she struggled and resisted. At the beginning, in order to know whether Du Yuxuan was dead or alive, she did not eat water and food for three days, and finally fainted with hunger, but to her disappointment, Zhu Heyu did not come to see her, but found the most inferior imperial doctor to treat her. In the winter, she also poured buckets full of ice water from head to toe, had a high fever for a month, and was seriously ill and almost died, but in the end Zhu Heyu did not come.

There was no one close to him in the palace, but what Zhu Ran didn't expect that time was that Zhu Hechu's crown princess Zhou Lulu actually sent someone to send cotton clothes and medicine.

After two struggles, Zhu Ran was basically disheartened. It is also her life that should not be in the cold palace, spring is gradually coming, and when everything recovers, her illness is getting better little by little. It's just that as soon as she is good, I don't know if it is Zhu Heyu or Du Yuyan who sent Zuo Yawei to watch her and clean the huge and gloomy cold palace every day.

Thankfully, Ge was still with her.

"Mother, it's time to eat."

When it was time for lunch, the guards brought the food, not to mention the cold leftovers, and the amount of food was only enough for one person. After a few months, Zhu Ran has become commonplace.

"Xiaoge, I have wronged you by following me."

In the past few months, Xiao Ge almost cried with joy when he saw that Zhu Ran finally spoke, and choked up: "Niangniang......"

Zhu Ran thought in her heart that Du Yuxuan was dead, and the days of the cold palace were really not suitable for people to live, if it weren't for the evil breath in her heart, and considering the small grid around her, she would have left.

The women in the palace were favored because of Zhu Heyu's love, and fell out of favor because of Zhu Heyu's disgust, Zhu Ran knew very well. It's just that now she has been completely abandoned by Zhu Heyu, and it is more difficult to get Zhu Heyu to accept her again than to ascend to the sky.

Zhu Ran touched the peach pit wood carving around his neck, thinking in his heart that he could only make a fuss about it.

He and Xiaoge each ate half full, Zhu Ran pulled the peach kernel wood carving around his neck and handed it to Xiaoge, and said softly: "Now, we have to change this status quo." ”

Xiao Ge's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhu Ran with hope......
