Chapter 60: The Son of the World Dies
Chunfeng was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, could it be that the rumors in the rivers and lakes were wrong, the county lord knew the secret, and that peerless son was a sanctimonious hypocrite?
And as soon as Bai Lilan finished speaking, he was also stunned. It turned out that unconsciously, she had equated Tang Lingshuang and Yile, and whenever she saw that similar face, she couldn't help but ridicule. In this way, it seems that I am too emotional and disrupt my judgment, which is a very dangerous signal!
Exhaling deeply, Baili Lan secretly said that the next time he saw Tang Lingshuang, he must not be willful, and he must be calm!
Bai Lilan stood outside the door of the restaurant, looked at the room where Tang Lingshuang was just now, stared at each other, and then turned around and said, "Let's go, they are still waiting for Qiushuang!" ”
"Yes!"
And inside the window, Tang Lingshuang had been standing by the wooden window and looked at Baili Lan with a good mistake. He could see the struggle in the woman's eyes. Just, what makes her struggle? It must not be just because of Chang'an Wuhua, then, is it because of yourself?
Shrewd as Tang Lingshuang was also confused, he turned his head to look at the sleeping Chang An Wuhua, his eyes narrowed slightly.

After the cooperation with Baixiangmen began, Baili Lan pondered how to completely dissociate himself from the royal family. Originally, she could have walked away, but she didn't want to wander the world from now on, so she needed a dignified excuse. And this excuse must be given by Su Yichen!
"County Lord, County Lord!"
Sitting alone at the desk and pondering, Xia Yu ran over in a fuss, his hair was slightly messy, and his expression was panicked.
"What's the matter?" Bai Lilan closed a thin sheet of paper impatiently, and then supported her chin with her arm, and looked at Xia Yu with a red face with a pair of beautiful eyes, and her expression seemed to say, If it is not a big thing, I want you to look good!
Seeing Bai Lilan's demeanor, Xia Yu hurriedly took a deep breath, gasped evenly, and then said, "That's the case, the little prince of the palace is critically ill, and the prince asks you to go back quickly!" ”
Snorted coldly, Bai Lilan said indifferently, "What, is it another old trick, what excuse are you going to use to push it on me this time?" They really say that they are poor in donkey skills, and they don't know how to change some new words! ”
"I don't know what secrets the palace has, but Xiao Shizi is really in danger, and even the imperial doctor in the palace has gone! I heard that it was sent by Concubine Jin. ”
Concubine Jin?
Bai Lilan pondered for a moment, then suddenly sneered and said, "She is really stupid, she wants to fight with the Queen Mother, doesn't she know how to write dead words?" It's hopeless! ”
"Huh? Dowager? The slave maid didn't hear that the Queen Mother sent someone, so it is estimated that the news will be spread before it can reach Kunning Palace! ”
Nodding the tip of Xia Yu's delicate nose, Baili Lan said, "Stupid, there is some news that doesn't need to spread all over the city. Let's go, since people want this play to be lively, as a spectator, why not do it. ”
Although she couldn't understand what Baili Lan was saying, seeing Bai Li Lan's relaxed expression, Xia Yu was relieved, as if there was nothing in the world that her master couldn't solve!
As soon as the carriage drove to the gate of the palace, Bai Lilan found that white lanterns were hung under the eaves of the palace, and the servants who came and went were also wrapped in white cloths around their waists.
Jumping out of the carriage, before Baili Lan entered the palace, the housekeeper Zhao Ji trotted out, and said with a sad face, "The princess is finally back, Xiao Shizi, Xiao Shizi is gone!" ”
Looking at Zhao Zhi's face that was a little older, Bai Lilan's expression was Lingran, and there was a little more Xiao Ran in her tone, not because Bai Lilan felt that it was a big deal for Su Yichen to lose a child, but because she felt that behind this matter, there must be many interests involved. And at this moment, she didn't know anything about it, and this situation made her very passive. In order to know the truth of the matter as soon as possible, Bai Lilan asked Dong Xue to secretly investigate the matter before entering the palace.
Taking a deep breath, Baili Lan asked, "Wasn't it okay when you entered the palace last month, why did you go in just one month?" ”
"The doctor also checked it, but he didn't have a clue at all. Hey, poor little son, not yet a year old, and he hasn't even decided on a name. Not to mention how sad Concubine Ou was, she cried and fainted twice! The prince has just left the court, and he has been appeasing Concubine Ou, but he has no time to deal with the aftermath. It's a good thing you're back, otherwise this palace would be in chaos again! Zhao Ji said as she spoke, looking at Baili Lan with small eyes, as if she wanted to find some clues from her words and demeanor. But Baili Lanmei's eyes were horizontal, and her sharp gaze swept over, making Zhao Ji immediately shorten his neck and not dare to look indiscriminately.
"The master is still there, how can it be chaotic? Steward Zhao is not young, don't you know what to say and what not to say! Bai Lilan didn't care about the other servants around, and reprimanded Zhao Gong in a stern voice, with a gloomy expression, making people dare not look directly, "What is the cause of Xiao Shizi?" ”
"This ...... Originally, it was because the nurse neglected to take care of her, so that Xiao Shizi was accidentally infected with a cold. If a child has a cold, it's not a big deal, just rest for a few days. However, Xiao Shizi's illness has been sick for several days, but there is no improvement, and Concubine Ou is distressed, so she begged the imperial doctor in the palace to treat Xiao Shizi. But today, the imperial doctor came, and Xiao Shizi died! ”
"Okay, I'll go and see Concubine Ou, you go to the coffin shop, choose a good coffin, and arrange the mourning hall as soon as possible. I don't know when the imperial doctor will be able to diagnose a result, but the dead still have to be buried in the ground, so you should prepare first, and when the dust settles, you will immediately bury the little prince in the ground! ”
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Ji nodded hurriedly, and then asked, "Then, do you want to find a baby girl of the same age for Xiao Shizi to be buried in the people?" ”
Bai Lilan was about to turn around, and when she heard Zhao Yu say this, she half-turned around and asked half-truthfully, "Does Steward Zhao have a granddaughter?" ”
Zhao Yu immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and said busily, "The old slave knows, the old slave knows, the old slave will never dare to have such a ridiculous idea again in the future, and ask the princess to spare the old slave this time!" ”
With a cold sneer, Bai Lilan no longer paid attention to Zhao Yu, who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and left in a chic manner. And Zhao Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little puzzled, why did she not have a good life as soon as this princess came back? Look at this sweat, layer after layer!
Before entering Ou Zhilan's room, Bai Lilan heard bursts of heart-rending cries.
"My son, my poor son!"
Seeing that Bai Lilan was standing in the door and not moving, Chunfeng beckoned to a maid inside the door and whispered in her ear. Then the maid secretly glanced at Bai Lilan, then turned around and walked to Su Yichen, who was holding Ou Zhilan in her arms, and whispered, "Lord, the princess is back!" ”
The black jewel-like eyes immediately shot out the door. Sure enough, he saw the woman he had been thinking about for a long time, but what kind of expression did she have? The family has just lost a child, why doesn't she have a sad expression at all? Still cold and indifferent, it seems that this world has nothing to do with her, she is just a sojourner, and she has no attachment to this place. What a ruthless woman!
Thinking of this, Shu Yichen's tone was not good, even though he knew that what he said would hurt Baililan, but he no longer had the strength to scruple.
"Seeing such a big thing happening at home, the princess doesn't seem to be sad at all."
Ou Zhilan, who was about to faint in her arms, raised her misty eyes and looked at the door, Bai Lilan, who was still beautiful, didn't know if she was resentful in her heart because of what Su Yichen said just now, or she needed to resent someone too much at the moment to express all her misfortunes, otherwise, she didn't know how she would face such a tragic result.
"I know my sister has always disliked my children, but I don't have to show it so obviously! Now that the children have gone, can't my sister let go! Or, only if I'm dead can my sister be out of sight and out of mind! Ha, that day will not be far away, I will make my sister happy! As she spoke, O'Zhilan thought of her hard-working child again, and she cried, her voice already hoarse.
Seeing the couple singing and harmonizing, Bai Lilan snorted lightly, looked to the side, and said in a cold voice, "Since I entered this door, I haven't said a word, but the two of you really want to add those trumped-up charges to me." What's the benefit of just doing it? Will it make you feel better, or ......" looked at Shu Yichen fiercely, and Baili Lan said coolly, "What the prince needs now is not a princess who can handle all the affairs of the palace, but a scapegoat, a scapegoat who will bear all the blame for you!" Although we haven't been together for a long time, the prince should know my temperament, and I won't accept your accusations unconditionally like a fool! ”
"In this situation, you still can't eat at all." Gently patting Ou Zhilan's shoulder, Su Yichen forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Now is not the time to be reckless, no matter what you think in your heart, you are still a person in the palace, so if something happens in the palace, you can't ignore it." From now on, you'll be in charge of the rest. The real cause of Xiao Shizi's death has not yet been investigated, I hope that this matter is not related to you! ”
Facing Su Yichen's meaningful gaze, Bai Lilan only replied with a back, and said in an unruly voice, "Even if you don't say this, I will do it." After all, I hugged that child, and it was a kind of fate. It has nothing to do with adults, I just want to put the little prince into the earth and no longer be disturbed by this earthly world! ”
Looking at Baili Lan's dashing back, Shu Yichen clenched his fists, and his teeth grinded straight.
After learning the news of Xiao Shizi's death, many ministers sent people to the door to condole.
Baili Lan didn't like to do such things, and she used to leave it to Ou Zhilan to take care of. There is really no escape today, and Bai Lilan can only bite the bullet in person. But these people are really noisy, they can clearly say it in one sentence, but they have to say it endlessly, and they don't have the strength to see, Baili Lan obviously has a posture of driving people away, but she still has to pick up the crack in the door, and she wants to explain the remaining polite words that have not been finished clearly.
Baili Lan was angry, so she simply threw down two pieces of paper, the first one said "Limited to ten visitors per day", and the second one said "Today is full, please be early tomorrow".
