A month later

In the royal prison, where the sun never dawned all year round, a woman sat on a cold bed, looking at the few rays of sunlight on the floor that filtered through the narrow window bar, where the once warm sunlight looked cold and pale. There were bursts of screams and wails that were enough to make people break down in the dim and damp cell, and the few candles lit on both sides of the cell, the faint candlelight swayed gently with the breeze blowing in, and the oppressive cell exuded a ghostly smell of death.

Today is like a dream for Lan Meng, everything came too suddenly. Originally, this morning, as usual, she was about to leave the house to go to the noodle shop after breakfast, but she was told by her subordinates that the princess had a miscarriage. Then everything was just like what was played in the TV series, before she could react, the queen had already sent her personal eunuch from the palace to the palace, and also found a bag of safflower and other medicines in her room. Lan Meng didn't even have a chance to speak, so he was caught in the prison by the guards. At this moment, her little face that has recovered her beauty is full of helpless sadness, in this country where there is no legal system, the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, and no one will be left until the fifth watch, this statement is now the most suitable for her.

While Lan Meng was completely contemplating in his own world, suddenly the cold cell door opened. When she saw Xi Yao, who was supported by Xiao Cui, appear in her cell, she couldn't help sneering in her heart, she came to her funeral so soon.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Xi Yao came to Lan Meng with an evil smile on her face, making her face, which was originally pale because she had just had a miscarriage, look even more hideous.

"Am I okay, aren't you watching?" Lan Meng looked at her sarcastically.

Xi Yao laughed wildly at Lan Meng, who didn't know that his death was coming, and said in a shrill voice: "Sister, don't resent me, if you want to blame you, you will be blamed for sitting in the position of the princess." I have been childhood sweethearts with the prince since I was a child, and my wish since childhood is to be the prince's wife when I grow up. Unexpectedly, during my filial piety for my mother, you robbed me of the position of princess. Brother Litian is the only man I want to marry after waiting for so many years, how can I tolerate other women snatching what belongs to me. Originally, I didn't intend to put you to death so soon, but you have too much to do, and last time because of one of your snacks, you almost ruined my reputation, so I had to send you on my way early. ”

Dim sum? Lan Meng felt a chill down her spine when she heard this, and stared at Xi Yao with an incredulous expression, could it be-

A month ago

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, in the previous life, moon cakes were the most indispensable kind of dim sum every Mid-Autumn Festival. So she wants to make some mooncakes in the noodle shop, which can improve the store's business and distribute them to everyone in the palace, so that everyone can have a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. But if you want to make so many mooncakes, it's a big project to think about, and it will take at least a while, and the good thing is that she can take the opportunity to take care of Liyuan and leave the house at any time.

During that time, she would go to the noodle shop early in the morning with Liyuan and return home in the afternoon. The little guy who left the fate didn't have much interest in what Lan Meng did, as long as Lan Meng could take him to see Xiao Ling every day, he would be very happy. After almost a week of hard work, Blue Dream's handmade mooncakes came out. Due to the limited quantity, the mooncakes in the store were sold out to customers in less than two days. And for the people in the palace, she had already arranged for someone to send them back.

At breakfast time the next day after Lan Meng distributed the moon cakes, Lan Meng and the others dined in Qingfeng Hall as usual, and suddenly left the fate and clamored to eat the moon cakes made by Lan Meng himself, so Lan Meng asked Ling'er to take out the moon cakes in Fengyi Palace, and then cut each moon cake into several small pieces.

"This king has heard Leng Ran say that you call it a moon cake, and you also distribute it to everyone in the palace, Meng'er, it is really their blessing to have a princess like you in the palace." Litian said happily to Lan Meng.

"Thank you for the compliment! Sister, you can try a piece too, it tastes good. Lan Meng politely picked up a piece and prepared to put it in Xi Yao's bowl.

Unexpectedly, Lan Meng just sandwiched the moon cake in front of Xi Yao, and Xi Yao retched. When Lan Meng saw the retching Xi Yao, the word pregnancy immediately came to mind, but she didn't plan to break it, and said with a smile: "Maybe the filling oil in the moon cake is too strong, my sister has always preferred to eat light food, and she may not be used to this taste, so it's better for my sister not to eat it, be careful of stomach discomfort." After Lan Meng finished speaking, he calmly put the moon cake back into his bowl.

"What my sister said is, then I'd better not eat it!" Xi Yao hurriedly covered her nose with a silk scarf and responded to Lan Meng's words.

"It can't be that there is a baby in the belly, right? This king often sees his father's concubines in the palace like this, and it won't be long before he gives birth to a younger sister. However, you have only been married to the imperial brother for more than ten days, can you have a baby after more than ten days of marriage? ”

Liyuan crossed his fingers and innocently looked at Xi Yao and asked.

"Xi Yao, aren't you?" Litian looked at her expectantly.

"Lord Wang, you misunderstood, the concubine is just sick to her stomach."

If you think about it, it seems that she hasn't had her period for two months. Thinking of this, Xi Yao's heart trembled, and the loss of virginity before marriage was not allowed in the laws of the imperial court. So she calculated, and in a few more months, she would pretend to have a miscarriage, and no one would suspect that the baby in her womb would be almost three months old.

Lan Meng thought back to what happened a month ago, and she said sarcastically: "I didn't expect you to kill the child in your belly for the sake of your own reputation. ”

"Ruthless? If it weren't for you, would I have killed my child with my own hands? You are responsible for his death. Also, under the pressure of my father and the queen, the emperor has ordered that he will give you a glass of poisoned wine tomorrow at noon, so that you can be sent on your way. Sister, don't be delusional that someone will save you, the prince is kneeling in front of the queen's bedroom for you. But don't you forget, the queen is my cousin, do you think she will let you go? As for your father's side, even if you send the letter quickly, it will take three days to go back and forth. Hehe, when you die, as long as the palace issues an imperial list to the outside world, saying that you are infected with a disease and died, even if your father wants to rebel, there is no reason. ”

Lan Meng looked at Xi Yao, who was almost in a state of madness, and she couldn't help but feel sad for this kind of woman. A woman who has lived in calculations all her life will never get true love.

Xi Yao didn't feel the emotion of fear in Lan Meng's body at all, but Lan Meng's sympathetic eyes made her tremble with anger: "You just wait to go down to the Yellow Spring!" After speaking, Xiao Cui helped him away.

Lan Meng looked at the door of the cell that had been closed again, and looked up at the sky outside the window railing. She couldn't help but sigh, maybe today was the last time she would see the sun.
