Ning Shu smiled.

Sitting on the chair, sipping tea lightly, Jade hung her head obediently on the side.

"I didn't expect my sister to be quite fast."

"yes." Jade responded, her expression was no longer submissive to Ning Jiao, but at this moment, she had a somewhat calm appearance.

"Eldest Miss, the slave has been burying that thing under the second lady's bedding according to your instructions, and now that she is pregnant with a child, do you want to take it out?"

Ning Shu nodded slightly, "Whatever you want, the purpose of the left and right has been achieved, and it is meaningless to let it go or not." ”

Jade: "Yes, there's a prescription—"

"Hmm." Ning Shu put down the teacup, picked up the pen and wrote an extremely ordinary fetal protection recipe, and then handed it to Jade after drying the ink on the paper, with a gentle voice: "You should be angry by her side, and if you endure it, you should be able to boil it out soon." ”

Jade hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The eldest lady is serious, when the brother was seriously ill, the slave and maid family were desperate, and in the end, the eldest lady was able to fulfill it, and accepted the slave and maid to do work in Ningfu, and the eldest lady's kindness to the slave and maid was even if the slave and maid died. ”

Long Shan smiled and picked up the jade, only to hear Ning Shu smile faintly: "What is immortal, your good days are still ahead." ”

"The slave and maid borrowed the good words of the eldest lady, and the slave and maid went back first." Jade got up respectfully and left for too long, so as not to make Ning Jiao suspicious, she put away the prescription and immediately left the Xie Guo Mansion.

After she left, Ning Shu found Xuan Feng again and whispered a few words in his ear, Xuan Feng nodded again and again, and then left.

After everyone left, Ning Shu sat back on the chair comfortably, the new chessboard was ready, and it was up to Lian Shangshu to take the move.

……

After Lian Shangshu and Mrs. Lian learned that Ning Jiao was happy, the expressions on their faces became more and more exciting.

Mrs. Lian hurriedly said: "How can this be? Didn't the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang be—"

"The people in Miao Jiang are gone, and it may be difficult to figure out what happened." Lian Shangshu said with a gloomy face.

All his thoughts have been on dealing with the Third Prince and Xie Yunyan recently.

At the moment, I don't know what the third prince has traced, and finally slackened on him, and just had a breath of comfortable air, the news of Ning Jiao's pregnancy was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, hitting his nerves.

King Duan promised that no matter what happened in the future, Yuyao's children would inherit the throne.

So what about Yuyao who has never had children?

Or Ning Jiao gave birth to the eldest son, but Lian Yuyao couldn't give birth to a son?

All kinds of strange ideas occupied Lian Shangshu's mind, and he closed his eyes with a headache and kept rubbing his eyebrows.

Mrs. Lian sighed: "Yuyao and Concubine Fang have already suffered the eyes of others when they entered the door together, and now let Concubine Fang get pregnant before her, this will not make people laugh to death." ”

The focus of Lian Shangshu's thoughts is not as good as that of a woman like Mrs. Lian, it doesn't matter if he laughs or not, all he wants is protection.

Can keep the protection of the family!

Suddenly opening his eyes, Lian Shangshu had already made up his mind.

Ning Jiao's child can't stay, it's only because she can't get pregnant!

Tengdi got up, and Lian Shangshu said: "I'll go to the palace, and Madame must not spread the news." ”

"Don't worry, master, how could I do such a humiliating thing?"

Not only will she not tell outsiders, but she will also order a few subordinates who know the truth to keep their mouths shut.

Otherwise-

Mrs. Lian's gaze was as deep as an ancient well.

Lian Shangshu hurried to Duanwang's mansion and found that Duanwang was not too surprised by his arrival, so he became bolder.

"Should the old man congratulate His Highness? Or is it better to worry about His Highness? ”

"Why? Why worry? Duanwang's expression was as usual, and he casually wiped the gap between his fingertips with a brocade handkerchief.

Lian Shangshu smiled faintly and said: "I heard that Concubine Ning is pregnant, isn't it a happy event for His Royal Highness?" ”

"What about worries?" Duan Wang asked rhetorically.

Lian Shangshu: "This worry-the old man also feels sorry for His Highness, obviously he is His Highness's first heir, but he can't see the light of day, it's sad——"

"What does Lian Shangshu mean that this king wants this child?" Duanwang raised his eyebrows, and finally became a little interested in Lian Shangshu's words.

Lian Shangshu nodded, "Your Highness, do you remember what you promised the old man?" ”

When the interests were tied, he and King Duan were uncles and courtiers.

When there is a conflict of interest, he naturally wants to seek the greatest interests for himself, the woman and the family, and does not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of Duanwang.

Even if it is coercion and temptation, let King Duan see his position clearly.

Seeing that King Duan smiled and said nothing, Lian Shangshu let go, got up and arched his hand: "Your Highness must either let Yuyao conceive a child as soon as possible, or completely clear the doubts in the old man's heart, otherwise, the old man will inevitably have doubts about His Highness's original promise, and it will not be good to do something that hurts both sides." ”

"Hmm." King Duan nodded again and again, and the smile on his face did not decrease, making it difficult to see the joy and anger.

In recent days, not only has Miao Jiang been disrespectful in front of him, but even courtiers like Lian Shangshu, who have been nodding to him for decades, dare to make a mistake and influence his decision.

Under Duanwang's peaceful appearance, there is a coldness that no one can see.

Lian Shangshu couldn't understand what King Duan meant, and he said tentatively: "What does Your Highness think of the old man's proposal?" ”

"Very good." Duan Wang got up with a smile, walked around the table and came to Lian Shangshu's side, holding his arms with both hands, making him straighten up.

Lian Shangshu was a little stunned, Duanwang's attitude was too weird, he couldn't believe that the purpose of his coming was so easily accomplished.

King Duan slowly bent over, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Lian Shangshu, if this king is not mistaken, what he said at the beginning was that Lian Shangshu took on the affairs of the second son of the Liu family, and this king will take care of Lian Yuyao's children." ”

He laughed sinisterly, then straightened up, gently patted the dust off Lian Shangshu's shoulder, looked at Lian Shangshu's dilated pupils because of excessive shock, and said faintly: "But now that Lian Shangshu is intact, what promise does this king want to fulfill?" ”

"You-" Lian Shangshu took a mouthful of turbid air stuck in his throat, and his trembling fingertips pointed at Duan Wang regardless of the difference in status and said, "You lied to me?" ”

"Not really?!" King Duan had already returned to his seat, and took out a brocade to wipe his hands again, "Concubine Ning's children are dispensable, and Yuyao's children can also inherit the throne, but this king doesn't like the feeling of being persecuted." ”

"Lian Shangshu, what do you think is good?"

As a courtier and uncle, Lian Shangshu thought that he was very familiar with King Duan's temperament.

At present, King Duan's unhappy and sad demeanor made him difficult.

What does Duanwang mean? Is it because of my own stimulation that I suddenly changed my mind?

Or did he originally want to use the Lian family, draw cakes empty-handed, and let the Lian family pay him willingly, and finally withdraw smoothly and stay out of the matter?

"What His Highness means—forgive the old man for not understanding."

"That's right if you don't understand." King Duan chuckled again and again, and after the smile gradually solidified, it changed into a gloomy face.

"This king advises Lian Shangshu to just do his own thing, the affairs of the palace, and it is not Lian Shangshu's turn to worry. If Lian Shangshu thinks that the position of Duan Wang Zhengfei is not good, then the king doesn't mind changing it! ”
