The old princess handed the cloak to Nanny Li, sighed deeply, and then spoke earnestly, "Qingruo, do you now know where you went wrong?"

Lan Qingruo burst into tears before she said anything, "Princess, Qingruo knows. Qingruo was tricked. The doctor came just now and said that Qingruo was not poisoned by snake venom at all. I, I, I thought I had been poisoned at that time.

The snake's venom will definitely lead to death, so I spoke rudely and almost ruined the matter."

The old princess snorted coldly, "Qingruo, you still don't realize where you went wrong. The sins you are suffering now are all your own fault, and you are the result of being smart but mistaken."

Lan Qingruo was shocked, knowing that the matter had been exposed, but she glanced at the old princess through the dim light, and still refused to admit it. There was still a trace of luck in her heart, "Princess, what happened today is the same for Qingruo."

For the sake of the palace, and to cater to your wishes, I just never thought that something went wrong along the way, so it was just an honest mistake."

"Qingruo, since you entered the house, there have been many people around you, so it is inconvenient for us to talk in detail. You have been punished here today, which is an opportunity. Let us open the skylight and speak frankly, and stop playing tricks in front of me.

Be careful."

The old princess glanced at Lan Qingruo disdainfully, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and her voice became even harsher, "The reason why the house is in such an uncontrollable situation today is not because you took it upon yourself to change the prince with a civet cat.

Did we lose the chance to control the Huo Wei Building because of the scheming with that bitch Shen Xinyue?"

When the old princess said this, she gritted her teeth and looked at Lan Qingruo who still wanted to play tricks in front of her, "If you are not selfish and marry Huo Weilou smoothly as planned, why should we worry about not being able to defeat him in the future?

he!?"

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Lan Qingruo had to admit, "Now that the princess knows it, Qingruo will no longer hide it. Yes, this matter was indeed my own doing, but I also had a hidden agenda."

Lan Qingruo pretended to look at the old princess pitifully, feeling unconvinced in every possible way, thinking that each of them had made good plans one by one.

In the past, when Lan Qingruo didn't know anything, she would naturally only marry Huo Weilou. Lan Qingruo had been fascinated by Huo Weilou since she first saw him.

Look for every opportunity to get close to him.

Huo Weilou was the handsome and cold regent at that time. He had great power in both the government and the public, and he was subordinate to ten thousand people.

And she, Lan Qingruo, came from the once glorious Taifu Mansion. She was both talented and beautiful, and was one of the most talented women in the capital.

The marriage between the two of them is highly anticipated.

It's just that this is what everyone expects~ It's just what she thinks.

At that time, Lan Qingruo thought this was such a beautiful marriage.

Her heart belongs to her, and her family and the old princess are happy to see it happen. Even the emperor is dedicated to promoting it...

Until Lan Qingruo discovered the secret behind it, until they told her everything, telling her that the real purpose of letting her marry Huo Weilou was to let her spy on the regent of the dynasty, because his existence had seriously threatened the dynasty.

The emperor. The emperor now wants to get rid of him quickly.

She is just a pawn in their hands.

Once Huo Weilou is eliminated, the emperor's government will be consolidated and his power will be restored.

With the help of the Taifu Mansion, he can regain his former glory.

As for the old princess, she was only planning for her second son Huo Ziyao. Without Huo Weilou, Huo Ziyao would have a chance to stand out.

What about her?

Where is she, Lan Qingruo?

Who has thought about her future?

Huo Weilou is now in a crisis-ridden state. He is also poisoned and has attacks from time to time. His life and future are both in danger. Even if Lan Qingruo likes him again, he will not joke about his own future by marrying such a person.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. She is not a stupid person, how could she not enjoy the glory and wealth, but put herself in a dead move.

Thinking of this, Lan Qingruo sneered in her heart, but on the surface she looked like an infatuated girl and cried to the old princess, "Princess, Qingruo, Qingruo has always been in love with Zi Yao. Marrying Huo Weilou is just a member of the family.

It's just an arrangement, is it wrong for Qingruo to pursue her own happiness?"

As soon as Lan Qingruo said these words, even Grandma Li next to the old princess couldn't help but laugh. However, the old princess gave her a sideways look and immediately covered her mouth and pretended to cough to cover it up.

The old princess thought that she would still need Lan Qingruo in the future. After all, she was good at using poison under the guidance of her nanny. With her, she could do some things without being suspected, so she spoke in a slightly softer tone.

come down,

"Qingruo, if I were to choose a daughter-in-law, of course you would be the first choice. I would naturally like Zi Yao to marry a woman with your family background and talents. Wasn't it forced at that time? Everyone was doing it for the emperor."

Lan Qingruo snorted coldly in her heart, for the emperor's sake, it's fake, but for your second son Huo Ziyao's sake, it's true.

He's just an old guy who fishes in troubled waters and wants to take advantage of others for his own personal gain. Who is more noble than the other?

However, there was no expression on her face. Instead, she put on a very well-behaved look and asked the old princess, "Princess, it is a foregone conclusion now. Qingruo is Zi Yao's wife. Don't worry, I will definitely marry the princess."

Likewise, she is planning for Zi Yao wholeheartedly. Therefore, the princess is requested to put the overall situation first and not tell anyone about Qing Ruo's move regarding the marriage exchange. Otherwise, when the time comes, not only Qing Ruo will be embarrassed to see others, but Zi Yao will not be able to bear the blow.

, even the dignity of the palace has been completely lost."

What the old princess wants is not for Zi Yao but for the palace, and do you have the right to speak here now? She didn't show it on her face, but said in a serious tone: "That's right. No matter what.

You are married to Zi Yao. Do you know Zi Yao’s child? The child’s character requires you and me to work together to plan for him. If he has a good future, that means you have a good future.

future."

Lan Qingruo kept saying yes and finally revealed the matter of the marriage exchange. Lan Qingruo breathed a sigh of relief secretly, rolled his eyes and said: "Princess, the most difficult thing now is Shen Xinyue. Qingruo heard that Shen Xinyue himself

After arriving at the mansion, I gave the prince some herbs to adjust his body, and those herbs are said to be able to suppress toxicity..." After saying that, he waited to see the old princess's reaction.

The old princess was indeed shocked, and her face no longer looked calm.

It turned out that the old princess was not Huo Weilou's biological mother, but an illegitimate son that the old regent had brought from nowhere. It happened that her eldest son died at birth, so the old regent let Huo Weilou have his eldest son.

He was very partial to the illegitimate son he had brought. Not only did he personally teach him everything, but even before his death, he went to the late emperor and somehow gave the position of regent to Huo Weilou.

That's why the old princess always hated Huo Weilou so much that she even poisoned him with chronic poison, hoping that he would die from the poison and get back everything that should belong to Huo Ziyao.

Unexpectedly, the Huo Wei Building was bigger and more alert, so he never succeeded in poisoning.

Later, the old princess accidentally discovered that the nanny of the Taifu's daughter was actually a master of poisoning. Lan Qingruo had been following the nanny since she was a child, and had a good relationship with her. She also learned a few tricks of using poisons, and she was obsessed with Huo Weilou. Infatuated with thoughts, she worked extremely hard on the marriage between Huo Weilou and Lan Qingruo and made it happen.

I thought that if Lan Qingruo entered the door, firstly, she could monitor Huo Weilou's every move, so that she could act according to the opportunity; secondly, if there was any uncertainty, she could use Lan Qingruo's hand to eliminate Huo Weilou in one fell swoop.

However, if a person does not act for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

All these wishful thinking were ruined by Lan Qingruo's marriage change.

Not only that, but now the old princess learned that Shen Xinyue, the idiot daughter of a wealthy Jiangnan businessman, was not only not stupid, but also knew how to detoxify. This fact really made the old princess's heart sink to the bottom.

The old princess had no intention of lecturing Lan Qingruo any more, and told her a few more words not to be short-sighted or eager for success, so she left with Nanny Li full of worries.

The two of them left the Buddhist hall. Nanny Li couldn't suppress the doubts in her heart and said: "Princess, I didn't expect that the problem now is actually with Shen Xinyue. No wonder Huo Weilou used to be poisonous and could kill half of his life." , and this time it turned out to be nothing serious.”

The old princess looked very ugly and asked sternly: "Didn't you say that Shen Xinyue is a idiot?"

Aunt Li didn't know what was going on. She was already breaking out in a cold sweat. "That's right. According to the information we found at the time, this daughter of the Shen family in Jiangnan is really useless except for her beauty. If she hadn't fallen in love with her, With her family’s huge wealth, we wouldn’t have married our second son to such a person at that time. How come it’s still cured now? Is there something wrong somewhere?”

"When you get back, quickly ask someone to investigate and find out what's going on?!" The old princess was already very angry and didn't know where to direct her anger.

As they walked away, a dark shadow on the roof of the Buddhist hall quietly disappeared.

When Huo Weilou saw Huo Xing appearing in front of him wearing night clothes, he felt a different atmosphere than usual.

"What's wrong? Lan Qingruo is still dishonest in the Buddhist hall?" Huo Weilou asked.

Huo Xing was furious, "Not only is she dishonest, she is simply a snake-scorpion woman with a human face and an animal heart."

"How do you say this?" Huo Weilou felt a little funny in his heart. Huo Xing always just dealt with things without commenting. What happened today?

"Your Highness, the marriage exchange was indeed done by Lan Qingruo."

"Yeah." Huo Weilou didn't show any expression, as if he already knew.

But Huo Xing was not so calm, "I think back then, Lan Qingruo was just licking the prince's face. The prince never looked at her seriously, but she was looking for opportunities to get close to the prince every day, and kept saying what she wanted to do to you. , I hurriedly asked for this marriage, but I didn’t expect to do such a damned thing on the wedding day.”

"It doesn't matter. This is not the point." Huo Weilou said calmly without caring at all.

Huo Xing is indeed a little abnormal today. He usually knows the priorities when reporting news. It seems that he needs to practice more.

Huo Xing also realized his problem and immediately said seriously: "Yes, Your Majesty. Today the old princess went to the Buddhist temple. It seems that the old Princess is aware of the fact that the prince is poisoned. Moreover, the relationship between the prince and Lan Qingruo

The marriage is just as the prince expected, and there is a conspiracy behind it." Then he recounted to Huo Weilou exactly what he heard in the Buddhist hall.

After listening to Huo Xing's report, Huo Wei remained calm on the floor, maintaining his usual calmness and calmness. He pondered for a while before ordering: "Huo Xing, arrange for someone to bring Shu Shu back."

"Yes. It's time for the magic doctor to come back. During his absence, the prince's poisonous attacks have become more frequent than before. I will make arrangements now." Big things are no longer a concern when it comes to the prince's life and health.
