Ruan Shilin's kind words made Ruan Zhengshan's heart quite uncomfortable.

Seeing that everyone in this room was talking and laughing, but everyone was planning for themselves in their hearts, but it was a pity that Linluo came back with joy, but she didn't know what kind of days were waiting for her in the future.

In such an extraordinary period, even if he has merit, it is not as great as the saint...... The whole world is not the king's land. The whole world is holy, and his children are naturally holy.

It's just that now, the prince's party is ready to move, and it is not impossible to take advantage of the chaos to force the palace. Fortunately, there is still the queen mother in the palace, and the prince does not dare to make too many mistakes. But just because you're okay now doesn't mean you'll be okay in the future. Once the incident happens, it will be an earth-shattering change, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Right now, everyone in the capital is in danger, everyone is betting on whether the saint will win in the end, or the prince will win, or the four princes will pick up the cheap, everyone is gambling, and the bet is that they will take the net worth of their whole family.

As the saying goes, one is prosperous, and one is lost.

Although Ruan Zhengshan was born as a military general, he has also been up and down in the court for many years, and he has already seen through and seen enough of these things in the world.

On the march to fight, the Ruan family is doing it, but with the ability to intrigue, he asked himself if he was really panicked.

Ruan Zhengshan knew that there was about to be a catastrophe between himself and the Ruan family, and it would be impossible not to do some façade work. But in this way, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart about selling his sons and daughters...... He originally wanted to show this old face and personally beg the Queen Mother for a favor, but his wife Duan persuaded him, saying that he was old and confused, and pushed the whole family out as a target for the sake of a granddaughter.

In Duan's words, no matter how good Ruan Linluo is, she is still a daughter, and she can neither inherit the ancestry nor glorify her ancestors. It's rare that the Queen Mother doesn't dislike it, let her go in to serve, we should be grateful, how can we push and refuse, and be shameless.

Duan's maiden family, the ancestor also served as an official, but it declined later. Her words were not completely unreasonable, Ruan Zhengshan had to listen, and he had to nod in agreement.

What the Queen Mother says, the Holy Lord and the Prince have to listen to her, let alone him......

Ruan Zhengshan's eyes flashed slightly, and then he said with a smile: "Go to your mother's place." ”

When Ruan Linluo heard this, she immediately walked to Zhu Yuanlan's side, nested in her arms, and said coquettishly: "Mother, Luo'er misses you." ”

Zhu Yuanlan stretched out her hand to hug her beloved daughter, rubbed her back, and said slowly: "It's good to come back, everything is okay at my grandfather's house?" ”

Ruan Linluo nodded again and again, "Grandparents, uncles and aunts, brothers and new sisters-in-law, everyone." ”

At this time, several beautiful girls on the opposite side stood up one after another, came to Ruan Linluo's side, and talked to her closely.

They are all Ruan Linluo's cousins, they are the same age as her, they are all dressed similarly, all of them are pink and jade, beautiful and outstanding, each with their own delicate, each with their own style.

Zhu Jinlun swept slightly, and he divided the high and low in his heart, in terms of appearance, Ruan Linluo is definitely not the most outstanding one, but in terms of temperament, only Ruan Linluo gives people the sweetest feeling, and she can compare it with just a smile.

Zhu Jinlun retracted his gaze and said secretly in his heart: My aunt loves Linluo so much, I'm afraid it's also because of this. Sister Linluo has the shadow of her youth.

These days, Ruan Linluo is not there, although Zhu Yuanniang is worried in her heart, she is not worried.

In the past, how her father and mother loved her, she knew in her heart that Ruan Linluo would definitely be spoiled by their side.

Zhu Jinlun officially greeted the Zhu family, respectfully and politely, Zhu Yuanlan took the initiative to help him up, with a look of pity and a little guilt, "Nylon hurry up, you have worked hard along the way." ”

Ruan Xiping also said on the side: "It's all your own family, you don't need to be like this, the child gets up and talks." ”

Zhu Jinlun got up with a smile: "It's not strange to have many people, it's okay." ”

Speaking of this, Ruan Zhengshan said: "The children have worked the road, let them rest first, and then come over for dinner later." ”

When everyone heard this, they agreed and then retreated.

Ruan Xiping led Zhu Jinlun to his study to talk, only to see that his study was equipped with four high bookshelves, the furnishings on it were elegant and exquisite, and there were many books neatly stacked.

Zhu Jinlun looked around, knowing that his eldest uncle was usually a book lover and must have extensive knowledge.

Although Ruan Xiping was born as a military general, he was enlightened early, and when he was five years old, he followed his eldest brother to read and write, and he was literate and ink since he was a child, so he can be regarded as an all-rounder who is both civil and military.

Zhu Jinlun and Ruan Xiping sat down to drink tea and greet each other, only to feel that his people were here, but their minds were not here.

After the two gossiped a few words, Ruan Xiping said: "Although it is almost the New Year's Festival, but you are tired of traveling, it is not good to rush back immediately, why don't you stay here for a day or two temporarily, and wait for two days, I will personally arrange for the carriage and horses to send you back to Texas?" ”

When Zhu Jinlun heard this, he immediately got up and saluted, arched his hand, and said gratefully: "Thank you uncle for your concern and care, Nylon is grateful, living here is a chatter, where do you dare to mention the word grievance!" ”

Ruan Xiping smiled faintly, "It's all a family, don't say these words." I think you're tired, so let's go down and rest first. After speaking, he turned his head and instructed the steward Cui Hao, and said: "First arrange nylon to the 'Qingcui Pavilion', let the subordinates serve well, and don't slack off!" ”

Cui Hao nodded and responded: "Yes!" Followed, beckoned, motioned to the two little maids next to the door to come and wait, and personally led the way to send Zhu Nylon to rest.

At this time, Zhu Yuanlan took her daughter Linluo back to her yard, she had something to say to her daughter, but when it was really time to speak, she hesitated, unable to speak, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and the tears in her eyes became more and more crystalline.

Ruan Linluo looked at her mother in tears, she knew that something was wrong, her expression instantly turned gloomy, and after being silent for a while, she finally couldn't help but throw herself into her arms, crying "wow", her little hand grabbed her clothes tightly and didn't let go...... I don't go into the palace...... Mother, please, save me......"

Although she is young, she has already understood everything she should understand, so she feels a little apprehensive in her heart.

Zhu Yuanlan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't do it, and the maid who was guarding the outside also silently shed tears together.

A room full of people were crying and crying, so they weren't sad.

Ruan Linluo endured tears for a long time, and finally broke out in front of her mother, she was afraid and aggrieved in her heart, and the tears fell down in a torrent, smashing on the back of Zhu Yuanlan's hand one by one.

Zhu Yuanlan felt that her heart was about to break, so she hurriedly hugged her and said, "Luo'er, don't cry, there is a mother...... And my mother is here......"

She originally came to persuade her daughter to comfort her daughter, but when she saw her crying, her heart felt like she had been run over by some heavy object.

She is a child after all, no matter how sensible and obedient she is, she is just a child.

When Ruan Linluo heard this, she raised her red and swollen eyes from crying, and choked up: "Mother, don't let your daughter enter the palace, don't let your daughter." ”

Zhu Yuanlan looked entangled, her eyes were deep, but she didn't speak, just hugged her quietly for a while, and said the words that she had been pressing in her heart, and said, "Don't cry first, crying will break my mother's heart." According to your grandparents, they don't want to care, but your father and I are reluctant to let you go, your father has been trying to find a way, and my mother is ......the same."

When Ruan Linluo heard this, her heart was sour and soft, and she only listened to her mother continue: "For now, let's listen to the old lady first, and we had better prepare to enter the palace first." However, your father and I will find a way in secret, and you should remember how sad you are in your heart, how sad your father's heart is. ”

Watching children suffer and hurt, parents will feel more painful and hurt in their hearts.

Ruan Linluo nodded, and her tears flowed even more fiercely, "My daughter remembers." ”

Zhu Yuanlan groaned slightly, then picked up her daughter's tear-stained little face, and said with a serious expression: "However, this matter is not trivial. Before the dust settles, my mother wants to ask you a word, what if...... If Daddy really has no choice, what are you going to do? ”

Ruan Linluo heard this, her body trembled slightly, and she was speechless for a moment.

What should I do? What should I do?

Ruan Linluo's heart was in a mess, she only looked at her mother in a daze, shook her head and said, "My daughter doesn't know ......."

Zhu Yuanlan held back her tears, her eyes showed a bit of sharpness, looked at her daughter's face, and said awe-inspiringly: "If everything is a foregone conclusion, there is no power to change it." Then you have to follow the queen mother's wishes and enter the palace to live. The deep palace is secluded, it is a place that eats people and does not spit out bones, once you enter, there is no turning back! Therefore, once Luo'er enters the palace, you can't think about coming back, unless you die, you will have to live there for the rest of your life...... So Luo'er, you have to be strong, you have to fight, you have to keep climbing, fighting up, and climbing all the way to the highest position of the royal family! ”

When Ruan Linluo heard this, her face changed.

What did Mother mean by that? The highest position of the royal family, where is that?

Zhu Yuanlan groaned: "As a woman, there are two hurdles in life, the first hurdle is when you are born, and the second hurdle is to get married. When a woman marries a husband, it is equivalent to the second reincarnation in her life. My mother has never regretted anything in her life, but my mother has often regretted it recently, regretting that she fell in love with your father's family background and demeanor and married him as his wife. Your father is a rare good person in this world, but unfortunately he is humble and lowly, but he is the son of a concubine, even if he is a hundred times better than your uncle, he will not be able to inherit the title, this is his life. Your father is a man, and there is no second chance to be reincarnated, but you have ...... Luo'er, you are a smart child, there are some things that you don't need to say clearly, you can also know what you know. There is a limit to what your father and mother can do, and you must have an idea in your heart. Whether it is a human or an animal, once they are cornered, they will fight with all their might and try to find a way to survive for themselves. You are like this now, after entering the palace, no one can help you, you have to make a way for yourself to survive, you know? ”

When Ruan Linluo heard this, she blinked her teary eyes and slowly stroked her heart, but she didn't feel even more pain in her heart.

Mother meant to prepare her for the worst.

She nodded aggrievedly, her eyes were still misty and she groaned slightly, then bit her lip hard, and said in a low voice: "My daughter understands." ”

The sunset gradually sank in the west, and the bright red of the sunset slowly stained a large area of the sky, and the glow dyed the sky and the earth, and also dyed the houses and shevaes all over the city.

Near the end of the evening, Ruan Zhengshan suddenly received a secret letter from the palace, saying that several princes from the outer city suddenly entered the palace by order, and there seemed to be some movement in the palace.

When Ruan Zhengshan heard this, he hurriedly called his eldest son Ruan Dongsheng and second son Ruan Xiping to the study to discuss matters, and asked his family to prepare official uniforms and boots in case of emergency.

It didn't take long for rumors to spread in the capital, and some said that the saint was seriously ill, and I was afraid that it would not happen. Others say that the prince personally led the imperial guards to force the saint to abdicate, and even the edict for the throne was written, and some even said that the prince had imprisoned the saint in an attempt to usurp the throne.

All kinds of news flew around in everyone's ears like wings, making people panic.

I waited for most of the night, but there was no definite answer.

Ruan Xiping stayed up with his father and brother in the study for a night, and Zhu Yuanniang and Ruan Linluo also didn't close their eyes for almost a night, and squinted a little for a while near the early morning.

When it was over, the people in the palace finally came out with a shocking news. Last night, the second watch, the saint died in the Taihe Palace, and left an edict to pass the throne to His Royal Highness the Prince, and ascended the throne on the same day.

It took less than a night to change from the twenty-third year of Yongchang to the first year of Yongming, and everything changed with it, which caught people off guard.

After Ruan Zhengshan heard the news, he immediately sat down on the chair, speechless, and then reacted to change into court clothes and prepare to enter the palace to mourn.

In this gamble, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince defeated everyone and undoubtedly became the biggest winner.

Those who picked the wrong side and made the wrong bet before, now everyone is in danger, don't think about it, the first time is to roll up gold and silver, and flee the capital with their wives and dependents, but they don't know that the four gates of the capital have long been locked, and all people are strictly forbidden to enter and exit.

Under the national mourning, the whole country mourns together. However, the ascension of the new emperor to the throne is a major event celebrated by the whole world, and everything came too suddenly.

The subordinates of Ruan's Mansion hurriedly removed the red lantern silk from the mansion, and then replaced it with a newly pasted white lamp and a newly cut white silk.

However, after two or three hours, the whole capital was plain white.

Ruan Xiping told Zhu Yuanniang the news for the first time, and although the two did not talk too much, a slightly relaxed look appeared between their eyebrows.

God has eyes, I don't know if it is considered to have allowed Ruan Linluo to escape.

Zhu Yuanlan picked up the teacup weakly and took a few sips gently. I just feel loose in my heart, and I can't tell how I feel.

Although the current predicament is gone, the future predicament is still waiting there.

Once the sky changes, all people have to shake three times, not to mention, a meritorious family like them is naturally more deeply implicated.

Ruan Linluo stayed up all night, and in the early hours of the morning, she lay down by her mother's side to rest for a while, but she couldn't sleep steadily, and woke up when she heard someone talking.

As soon as she woke up, she saw that everyone was hanging their eyes and not squeaking, and she suddenly became a little flustered, and after listening to her mother Zhu Yuanlan's detailed words, she was greatly relieved, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, is my daughter saved?" ”

Zhu Yuanlan nodded again and again, covering her mouth, not wanting her to get trouble out of her mouth, but said, "My son, we'll be fine for the time being." ”

When Ruan Linluo heard this, she immediately cried again, threw herself into her mother's arms and cried: "Mother...... Mother......"

The time it took to get from the abyss to the sky was only one night, and even she felt like a thrilling dream......

For a while, everyone also cried with each other, and the mother-in-law next to her hesitated to take a step forward and said, "Second grandma, this is not the time to cry, the house is going to prepare for the national funeral, and you should also change your clothes and prepare to follow the eldest grandmother into the palace to mourn." ”

Zhu Yuanlan is not a person without measure, she immediately sorted out her thoughts, put away her tears, and ordered the maid to come over with water and wait for her to wash and change clothes.

After her mother left, Ruan Linluo sat quietly for a while, as if she had not recovered from Fang Cai's shock.

Suddenly, a little maid lifted the curtain and entered the house, holding a plain white filial piety dress in her hand.

"It's time for Missa to change her clothes."

Ruan Linluo came back to her senses slightly, looking at the plain white and clean filial piety clothes, for the first time in her life, she felt that this spotless white was so beautiful, so beautiful that people could hardly take their eyes off it, and they couldn't see it enough......

……

The news of the capital was transmitted back to Dezhou City in just one day, and the people were terrified, and they couldn't figure out how to say that the saint who was good before was gone.

However, although everyone has doubts in their hearts, they don't dare to talk about it privately, so they can only speculate and speculate in their hearts.

The Zhu family heard the news relatively early. When Old Man Zhu heard this, he felt very happy, he threw the scissors in his hand on the table, smiled coldly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "This is called self-destruction if you do too much injustice!" Even if he is the emperor's old son, he died at a really good time! ”

Zhu Feng cleared his throat and reminded: "Dad, you are happy, don't say anything!" ”

Old Man Zhu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I have something I can't say in my own home." The emperor is far away, not to mention that he is still a breathless, what am I afraid of him doing? ”

Zhu Feng knew that his old man had been holding back a fire in his heart, so he simply let him vent, and when he had finished speaking, he had scolded enough, and then he spoke: "The prince is about to ascend the throne, and those who impeached him earlier are afraid that they will suffer." My son heard that King Jingrong is also one of them......"

Zhu Feng's expression was extremely abrupt, and he was not as angry as his father, but said in a calm tone: "As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier." The crown prince has always been ruthless, once King Jingrong opens the knife, the Qin family is afraid that he will inevitably be implicated together! ”

The relationship between the Zhu and Qin families is very close, and they must always be prepared in advance.
