In the end, he snatched away the poisonous wine, stared gloomily at the eunuch behind Dali Siqing, and said word by word: "You tell your father on behalf of the palace, just say - the palace is waiting for him on the Huangquan Road." ”

After saying this, he threw up the poisoned wine in his cup.

This poison is the first of a hundred poisons, and only that small bite will be powerless.

After the prince drank the poisonous wine, it only took a moment for him to fall to the ground and convuls.

The poison passed through his limbs, and the pain made him scream incessantly, and the voice grew weaker and weaker until it was silent.

......

"The prince is dead. ”

Listening to the person's return, Gu Qingchi's expression did not change, and he nodded lightly: "Well, I know." ”

He was not surprised by this news.

After all, the pressure of the courtiers in these days has already brought the emperor to the point of collapse. And the most deadly thing was what the prince said to the emperor in prison that day.

It was those emperors who thought that they were talking wildly and asking for the life of the crown prince.

The death of the crown prince was just the beginning.

The entire East Palace went up and down, but all the palace concubines who had never given birth were killed, and the palace concubines who had given birth to heirs were sent to the royal temple with the little emperor grandchildren.

Fortunately, these people saved their lives, while others did not have such good luck.

Beginning in May, the emperor vigorously rectified the prince's party, and under the instigation of well-intentioned people, this purge spread to the biggest disaster since the founding of Western Chu.

There are those who want to eliminate dissidents, and there are even those who liquidate enemies with each other, and in the end, more than 100 court officials were implicated, and more than 10,000 people were punished for their family members.

The blood of the noon gate flowed like a river, and the people avoided walking, and it is said that at night, there will be the crying and crying continuously, which is particularly miserable and weird.

The incident did not end until the beginning of June, and the atmosphere in the capital was extremely depressing, and almost everyone avoided talking about state affairs, for fear that the next person to be implicated would become themselves.

In such an atmosphere, Rao is Gu Qingchi rarely goes out, and he doesn't ask about everything.

On the contrary, it is the war on the frontier.

Because of the evil things done by the prince before, the battle in the frontier and its difficulty in fighting were even more lost, and more than 10,000 soldiers were lost.

The former prince did evil, but it was these soldiers who suffered in the end. If it weren't for the information he sent, they would have won the battle a long time ago, so why are they still fighting the frontier now?

Therefore, after learning of the emperor's disposition, these people applauded, feeling that they had finally breathed a bad breath.

It's just that the evil spirit is out, but the war is as stalemate as ever.

Yue Zheng has been in contact with Qin Zhao a lot these days, but he found that although this person is a little vicious, he is still a good general in the end. In addition, he and Qin Zhao are now fighting side by side, and the two also have a bit of friendship.

But Yue Zheng also knew that once he returned to the capital, such a little friendship between them would disappear.

Therefore, for Qin Zhao, Yue Zheng was still on guard in his heart, and he only looked like he was working together.

......

Gu Qingchi knows the treacherous situation on the border side, compared to the gunpowder battlefield over there, the capital is secretly life and death.

In the past few days alone, Shi Miaoyu felt that Gu Qingchi's face was a little ugly, and he had stayed up all night.

Shi Miaoyu was worried, but every time she asked, Gu Qingchi comforted her as always: "It's just some small things, don't worry." ”

He is the sky falling, and when Shi Miaoyu talks about it here, it is also a trivial matter.

Shi Miaoyu knew his character, and he also knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only work his meals and try his best to make up for it.

Knowing Shi Miaoyu's thoughts, Gu Qingchi's heart was soft, and he coaxed her to see Lin Yanran with a gentle attitude, so she smiled and went out with a cold expression.

Lin Yanran's belly is getting bigger and bigger, although there is still some time before she is born, but this kind of thing, no one can say when it will be ripe, so Shi Miaoyu went to see Lin Yanran after she got the effort.

In the end, the matter of the war on the frontier was not hidden from her.

After Lin Yanran learned about it, she didn't have much reaction, but nodded lightly: "I thought about it, and I started fighting." ”

Otherwise, how could Yue Zheng not write to himself.

Shi Miaoyu was frightened into a cold sweat, and when she saw Lin Yanran's reaction, it was normal, and she let her heart fall, because she comforted: "Mother rest assured, my father has been in the frontier for so many years, and he knows everything about the Northern Desert, so he will be fine." Moreover, he is the main general, so he doesn't have to fight in front of him, and his safety is guaranteed. ”

These words would have been believed by others. But Lin Yanran had seen the layers of old scars on Yue Zheng's body with her own eyes, and knew that Shi Miaoyu was coaxing herself, but in order to comfort her daughter's heart, she could only nod and respond: "Then I'll rest assured." ”

It's just that after Shi Miaoyu left, Lin Yanran was distressed and cried silently in the room.

Since that day, Lin Yanran has knelt in front of the Buddha statue in the morning and evening to recite scriptures, praying to bless Yue Zheng's safety.

And these things, Shi Miaoyu didn't know, even Yue Qiguang didn't know.

Lin Yanran has always believed in Buddhism, she doesn't know what she can do, she can only use this way to do some strength that may not be useful at all.

Those fragile and helpless and frightened were left alone when she was alone, and when she saw her children, she was still the steady mother.

Since Lin Yanran knew, Shi Miaoyu was extremely worried, and after coming for a few days, seeing that Lin Yanran's face was fine, she quietly put her mind at ease.

Because Lin Yanran is older, Shi Miaoyu will take care of the affairs of the house for her, from the stable wife to the nurse, to the required objects, and even the social exchanges on weekdays, Shi Miaoyu has done it properly.

Lin Yanran knew that her daughter was worried about herself, so she let her do it, but when it was time to prepare a congratulatory gift for Lin Qifeng, she smiled and said: "This is my aunt's intention, and this can't be replaced by you." ”

Counting up, there are a few days before Lin Qifeng's wedding. If it was usual, Lin Yanran would definitely go to help in advance, but now she is an object that needs to be taken care of, and even if she goes, it will add to the chaos, so Lin Yanran will only stay at home, and let Zizhu go from time to time to see if there is anything she needs help with.

As for herself, she won't add to the chaos.

Hearing Lin Yanran's words, Shi Miaoyu couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Mother said the same, yes, my congratulatory gift here is also ready, you can look at it for me and see if it's appropriate." ”

Her relationship with Lin Qifeng is quite close, and Lin Zhou cares about their mother and daughter in every detail, Shi Miaoyu remembers this affection, and she is also very important when she gives congratulatory gifts.

Rao is like this, after Gu Qingchi saw the gift list, he added a few more points to it.

After Lin Yanran saw Shi Miaoyu's gift list, she immediately smiled and said, "This is too expensive, let's remove a few pieces." ”

They are cousins, and they have never seen such a big gift.

Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu said with a smile: "If my mother said that it was a few more pieces, I wouldn't tell you that this is the gift list that the prince has newly added, and he disliked that the gift I gave was too thin." ”

She only has two relatives on her side, the Lin family and the Yue family, and Gu Qingchi knows her relationship with her mother's family, so whether it is a New Year's gift or a Boxing ceremony, she has never been treated badly.

This time it was Lin Qifeng's big event again, and it was even heavier.

Lin Yanran listened to her words, nodded and smiled: "This is the prince who loves you." ”

The courtesy of the Anling Palace, that is Gu Qingchi's face of Shi Miaoyu, Lin Yanran will not even understand this.

Thinking of her daughter's family business, Lin Yanran couldn't help but be happy. From the apprehension at the beginning to the rest assured now, Gu Qingchi has done a lot of things to make her really feel the goodness of this son-in-law.

Therefore, Lin Yanran thought about it and said: "That's it, since the gift list is prepared by the prince, it is very safe." ”

The gift she prepared for Lin Qifeng was not light, but compared with Shi Miaoyu's part, it was still a little lighter.

It's just that although Shi Miaoyu is her daughter, she also represents the Anling Palace. In the end, it is royal, and her gift can't go past Shi Miaoyu, so it's okay to count.

After the congratulatory gift is decided, there is nothing to do in the house.

Shi Miaoyu has never given birth to a child, and seeing Lin Yanran's belly getting bigger and bigger, she can't stop worrying in her heart, and she has to accompany Lin Yanran to walk around the courtyard every day, so that it will not be too difficult for her to give birth.

Whenever she saw Shi Miaoyu so anxious and worried, Lin Yanran couldn't help laughing at her: "You don't know if you have ever given birth, my mother's belly is not big, when I was pregnant with you, it was bigger than now." ”

At that time, she was pregnant with her first child, although the Shi family was not distressed, the Lin family worried her to the bone. Those supplements were sent over like a stream, and Lin Siyu was going to come every once in a while.

When it was time to give birth, because the pregnancy was a little big, the birth was not smooth, and she gave birth for a day and a night.

When Shi Miaoyu was born, she almost lost half of her life, and when she saw the little person in front of her, she felt that all the suffering was worth it.

Lin Yanran was trapped in the past, and then looked at Shi Miaoyu in front of her, and felt the magic of life.

"When you were born that day, there was only such a small lump, like a milk cat. I never thought that in the blink of an eye, you would be so big. ”

Lin Yanran's eyes were slightly wet, and her eyes were full of love when she looked at Shi Miaoyu.

Hearing Lin Yanran's words, Shi Miaoyu could also imagine the original situation, because she said softly: "Mother's ......"

She only screamed, and then her eyes were red, and she looked at Lin Yanran with admiration.

Shi Miaoyu wanted to say a lot of things, such as honoring her well and being grateful to her, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything.

Lin Yanran has paid too much for her, and it is far from being something that she can repay with a word.

Seeing Shi Miaoyu's appearance, Lin Yanran stretched out her hand and hugged her, touched her soft hair, and said softly: "My son, you are my mother's life." ”

Over the years, if it weren't for Shi Miaoyu, she wouldn't have died a few times.

It was also thanks to her that she was able to get out of the fire pit step by step and escape.

The mother and daughter snuggled together, but they looked like they had been quiet for years.

......

On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, early in the morning, Shi Miaoyu went to Yue's Mansion to pick up Lin Yanran and Yue Qiguang, and the group went to Lin's Mansion in a mighty way.

Before arriving at the Lin Mansion, I first saw the red satin on the street, which was decorated with joy, and when I arrived at the door, I saw that the decoration was particularly festive, and the red lantern at the door made people feel good.

There were already family members waiting at the door, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly smiled and welcomed people in.
