"My father is still healthy, and it will not be a problem to struggle for another few decades. Zheng Peiquan said with a smile, "As for me, if I play for a few more years, when I get tired of playing, I may want to be an official or a general!"

"Childe, the man is dead!" his men probed the snort of the woman who was snatched and reported.

"Die and die. Zheng Peiquan said indifferently, "Just bury her!"

Xuanyuan Hou sighed, this son is really worrying!

I also blame myself for being too doting on him since he was a child, which has led to such a lawless temperament now! Now that the emperor is on guard against the Zheng family, the people on the side of the second prince are also looking for an opportunity to suppress the Zheng family, and they will definitely take strict care of that kid, so that no one will catch any tricks.

"Someone is coming! The aftermath must be dealt with properly! Don't let outsiders know about it. ”

"Yes!"

After a while, the maid came to report that Liangdi had returned, and his face was overjoyed, and he hurried to the study.

"Why did you come back today?" asked Xuanyuan Hou.

"Homesick, come back and see. Zheng Peilan said.

"Since you are already married, you are not a child, then the East Palace is not an ordinary place, how can you say that you will come back!" Xuanyuan Hou said with a straight face, "Nothing happened between you and the crown prince, did he?"

"Father is too worried!" Zheng Peilan smiled slightly, "My daughter and His Royal Highness are childhood sweethearts, and they have a deep relationship, not to mention that his daughter is pregnant, he cares about his daughter very much." The daughter came back today because she thought that Brother Qin had an accident, and now her father must be very distressed, and she wants to come back and ask, what is the best solution for her father?"

"It's got to this point, and I can't come forward anyway. Xuanyuan Hou said, "But your second uncle and aunt have only come here once, begging me to save Qin'er, and I have to take action in this matter, I want to hold his life, it's not a big problem." This matter has come to this situation, Gu Tingjun's kid has contributed a lot, he has been silent, I haven't noticed this person before, but now he gave me a big surprise!

"Then what are your father's plans?" asked Zheng Peilan.

"I still can't figure out the details of Gu Tingjun, but since he has fallen to the second prince, he is an enemy that cannot be underestimated, since he has already made a move against the Zheng family, how can I not fight back?" Xuanyuan Hou said coldly.

In fact, in her daughter's opinion, Gu Tingjun can test it again. Zheng Peilan said, "He would be so angry that he would make a move against the Zheng family, or because the eldest grandson Qi was injured, but it can't fully explain that he is biased towards the second prince." What's more, although the King of Huainan does not participate in politics, the eldest son of the Huainan Royal Mansion has been showing favor to His Highness, and after this incident, he will also make amends to His Highness for the first time. ”

"You mean to give him another chance?" asked Xuanyuan Marquis.

"Why not?" Zheng Peilan smiled and said, "As long as he doesn't fall to the second prince, then there's no need to make one more enemy, isn't it?

"Well, since you want to test him again, then you can arrange this matter. Xuanyuan Hou said.

"Yes!" Zheng Peilan paused, and then asked, "Father, what happened in the Qihou Mansion has anything to do with you?

"Gong You is too stubborn, and too loyal to the emperor, it is not good for us to have him, why not change to an obedient one?"

"It's just that to deal with such a big matter as Ziwei Palace, hasn't my father discussed it with His Royal Highness and the Queen Mother?" asked Zheng Peilan.

"I'm doing it for their good. Xuanyuan Hou said, "This kind of trivial matter can't be discussed with them. ”

"It's just that now that Lingyunguan is suspected by his father, what should I do next?" Zheng Peilan said, "This matter will definitely still be suspected of my father." ”

"It's okay, I have the next step. Xuanyuan Hou said.

"Your Highness is with the queen mother, and the daughter will go to explain to her father. Zheng Peilan said, "Everything my father did was for His Highness, and His Highness would understand." ”

"It's a coincidence that you came back today, your master went back to the city, and he only came to the Hou Mansion this morning. Xuanyuan Hou said, "I wanted to enter the palace to find you in a few days, but since you are here today, let's go and say hello to her!"

"Master has been traveling abroad for almost two years, and I don't know if I have gained anything. Zheng Peilan smiled, "I also happen to have some questions and want to ask Master for advice." Then the daughter will take her leave first!"

Zheng Peilan hurried to the side courtyard where the guests were placed, and saw Zheng Peizhi talking to a person in a black robe, who was shrouded in a black robe, and could not see any bare skin, and could not tell whether it was a man or a woman, but his body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black smoke, exuding a cold atmosphere.

Zheng Peilan stared at the black figure, with admiration and respect in her eyes, and a hidden deep hatred.

"Sister, are you here?" Zheng Peizhi got up and said with a smile, "Master is back today, and I was about to send someone to inform you, but I didn't expect you to come back, your master and apprentice are really smart." ”

"Perrin has seen Master. ”

"Since you are already the crown prince Liangdi, it is for the sake of the teacher that he should salute you. The black-robed man said in a hoarse voice, and the voice couldn't distinguish the gender.

"Master, don't say that, no matter what Pei Lan is, Pei Lan is the master's apprentice!" Zheng Peilan said with a respectful expression, "Master has the grace of reinvention for Pei Lan, Pei Lan dare not forget!"

The black-robed man said lightly: "I can't afford Liangdi's such kind words!"

Zheng Peilan's eyes rolled slightly, sat down and asked, "Master's departure has been two years, I don't know if Master has ever found something?"

"The blood of the thousand-year-old spirit turtle is so precious, how can it be easily obtained. The black-robed man sighed, "It's the will of heaven to get it, and it's also the will of heaven to get it." ”

Zheng Peizhi held her chin with one hand and said with a smile: "Master Fang Cai told me a lot about what he saw and heard during the trip, but it was interesting, but I also wanted to go out for a walk, but I could only be trapped in this capital and couldn't go out!"

"You are the most clever and the most pleasing to Master. Zheng Peilan said with a smile, "But being born in a family like ours and enjoying such wealth, it is impossible to bear such shackles." ”

"I know!" Zheng Peizhi said with a smile, "Master only taught my sister how to use poison, but never taught me, how about I also learn from Master? I'm not stupid, I shouldn't embarrass Master." ”

"You, what do children learn to use poison!" Zheng Peilan taught, "You have always only liked to fight and kill, if you have time, you might as well memorize all the four books and five classics that your father asked you to read." ”

"What's so beautiful!" Zheng Peizhi said, "I've become a nerd after reading too much, and I just want to help you! I know that Master, sister and father, you all want to refine a medicine, if you teach me, I can also help you!"

"This matter is not trivial, you better not get involved, according to my father's wishes, I also hope that you will be able to be happy in the future, just like now, heartless. Zheng Peilan said softly.

The black-robed man didn't answer, but looked at Zheng Peilan's stomach and asked, "Are you pregnant?"

Zheng Peilan paused for a moment, touched her stomach, smiled a little weakly, and said, "Yes, it's been more than three months!"

The black-robed man did not speak again.

"There hasn't been much progress in that matter in the last two years. Zheng Peilan said, "After all, the Lin family was destroyed back then, and it is not easy to find out the secrets that have been sealed for hundreds of years with only the memory of an orphan." ”

"I don't care what method you use, you must find out the secret recipe I want. The black-robed man's voice suddenly became cold, "My patience is limited!"

"Master is angry, Pei Lan will definitely do his best. Zheng Peilan said hurriedly.

"I'm tired, you go. After the black-robed man finished speaking, he quickly returned to the room.

Zheng Peizhi leaned her chin over and asked, "What's the matter, why is Master suddenly angry?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!I'm doing it for your own good!" Zheng Peilan's smile faded, touched her lower abdomen, and got up to leave.

"Phew, you really treat me like a child!" Zheng Peizhi snorted, "Although you treat me as a little girl who is out of tune now, one day I will impress you, just wait and see!"

My sister is like this, and so is Gu Tingjun!

Zheng Peizhi's eyes turned, and her chin supported her dexterous chin, you just don't put me in your eyes, anyway, you will regret it in the future!

Zheng Peilan had a light meal with Xuanyuan Hou, then said goodbye, left Xuanyuan Hou's mansion, and prepared to return to the East Palace, but she didn't go back directly, but went to a small courtyard in the west of the city halfway.

The first time I stepped into this courtyard, the leaves were still leafy, but now they are bare.

"How is she now?" asked Zheng Peilan.

The maid beside her replied: "In the end, she was born as a slave, she is used to doing rough work, her body is very good, she eats well, she sleeps well, and the doctor came to check her pulse two days ago, and said that the child in her womb is also very good." ”

"That's good!" Zheng Peilan looked inside from the crack in the door, a woman was doing needlework, sewing a baby's swaddling clothes, her eyes were full of love, "It seems that she is still a little plump!

"Don't worry, miss, the slave will take care of her, so that she can give birth to a healthy dragon grandson!" replied the maidservant.

"Hmm!" Zheng Peilan nodded, "You can look at the things here, if you do it well, I will be rewarded in the future!"

"Miss is good, slave maid is good, slave maid will definitely do her best!" The maid glanced at Zheng Peilan's belly, quickly retracted her gaze, and asked, "Miss's belly is not doubted, right?"

Zheng Peilan smiled coldly: "I personally dispensed the medicine, how could it be seen by others? Even if it is an imperial doctor, I can't see any clues." I'm a mother about to give birth now!"

She stroked her belly, and a burst of coldness and hatred suddenly rose between her eyes, if I hadn't been coaxed by you back then, how could I have practiced poison with you?

For the sake of His Highness, for the sake of my father, I have sacrificed too much, no one can prevent me from getting what I want most, no one can stop me from becoming the most noble woman in the world!
