The misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River continued to fall for half a month and showed no intention of stopping. Feng Guran sat irritably in front of the window, drinking glass after glass of wine. Only the spicy taste could extinguish the anger in his heart.
"A bunch of trash, you can't even get rid of a short-lived ghost, what's the point of keeping you? You even let others kill them and then feed them to the wolves, why don't you all die there, and save me the trouble of watching." Feng Guran
He glanced indifferently at the dead man in black kneeling below.
"The slave is punished by the prince."
"Because of your loyalty, I will bypass you this time and investigate that woman. I want to see who the woman staying next to Lao Jiu is and how she can make plans." Feng Guran waved his hand, and Black
The dead man thanked him and left.
Feng Guran exerted a slight force, and the wine glass in his hand was crushed and scattered on the table.
Yun Qi took a step forward and handed over the veil, then returned to where he was.
Feng Guran gently wiped the blood on his hand with a handkerchief, "We have to find some people who can benefit. There is still no news about the medicinal materials being robbed. They are all just a bunch of freeloaders. The plague is still spreading, so my father is willing to give up."
By asking this king to come here, it seems that he really intends to support Lao Jiu. He ordered that anyone who has the plague should be gathered together in one place, and the corpses of the dead ones should be burned directly."
Yun Qi has been with his master for several years, ever since he was a prince. In recent years, things around his master have not been going well, and he has seen it. Fortunately, his master has a stable temperament and has not panicked because of it.
Thinking about the news from the capital, he hesitated for a moment and then reported, "Sir, something happened in Liu Shangshu's mansion. I heard that bad guys entered Liu Shangshu's house in the middle of the night, but the imperial guards happened to pass by. The bad guys jumped into Liu's house and were caught.
They were all dead soldiers and died of poison on the spot. Liu Shangshu asked the emperor for his life the next day. In order to protect the second lady of the Liu family, the emperor sent palace guards to protect the Liu family."
Feng Guran didn't need to think too much and guessed that those people were sent by the queen, but the queen was too impatient. Why not wait until the second lady of the Liu family left the house to see off her friends before sending someone to take action? There was no need to kill her, just destroy it.
With the reputation, everything will be solved, and the father will not be suspicious. Now Liu Shangshu, the greedy man, is suspicious, let alone the father.
Thinking that the queen mother had caused trouble for herself again, Feng Guran frowned, "What about the guards in the palace? I don't want to marry someone. Does she really think she can get into Prince Rui's Mansion? What's the news about Mu's Mansion?"
Already?"
"After Concubine Mu's family arrived at the palace, Mu's palace did not send anyone to pick them up. Now they have been staying in the palace."
"Prince Rui's Mansion is not a refuge. Aunt Liu must use any means to get people out of the house, and she must make people think that they are the ones who want to leave the house." With Liu's methods, she will definitely be able to do so.
Finish.
This is also the reason why Feng Guran has doted on Mrs. Liu over the years. Otherwise, how could an aunt fall in his eyes? It's not because Mrs. Liu is a capable and clever woman who has always understood her identity and knows what to do.
What not to do.
"My subordinates know."
Feng Guran narrowed her eyes, "What do you think will happen if this king marries the daughter of the Mu family as his concubine?"
Yun Qi raised her head in shock.
Feng Guran laughed loudly, waved his hand, and Yun Qi retreated.
I remember that she was an interesting woman. Now that Murong was just holding on to military power, it was of no use for a concubine to marry him. There was no difference between marrying and not marrying her, but it was just a good way to strengthen the relationship with the Mu family.
As for Mu Lingxue who was sent back, the Prime Minister's Mansion dared to go to the Mansion to propose marriage, so why didn't she dare to do so? However, she knew that Mu Mansion would refuse without even thinking about it. It seemed that she had to think of a perfect plan to make Mu Mansion not want to marry him.
marry.
In Mu's Mansion in the capital, Murong was heartbroken after learning about his sister's journey. If he had found her earlier, her sister would not have to stay in Prince Xian's Mansion now.
Lin Chengzhi lowered his head guiltily, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for causing Xiaoxue."
After coming back, Lin Chengzhi didn't even go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He went directly to Mu Mansion and waited in the study for nearly half an hour before he saw Murong Gang coming from the backyard.
Murong Gang just said quietly, "I don't blame you for this matter. I still want to thank you for saving Xiaoxue."
Seeing that he really didn't blame himself, Lin Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Mrs.-in-law's injury hasn't healed yet? It's been almost a month?"
Thinking that it would take more than twenty days from the time he got the news and pursued him to the north to the time he returned to the capital. He was seriously injured. The injury hadn't healed yet. He didn't think much about it. He just asked out of concern.
After hearing this, Murong Gang looked embarrassed and said vaguely, "There is something going on in the womb right now, so I haven't been able to get out of my body."
Lin Chengzhi nodded and said goodbye before heading home.
This time he was able to go to the north to bring Xiaoxue back only because of his father's help. He had caused such a big trouble again. Why should he tell his father about it? It was no better than before. He had never thought of telling his father when he was in trouble. But now
It was different. After such an experience, Xiaoxue had to go to Prince Xian's Mansion again because of himself. He could no longer act like a child who had to rely on his father for everything.
He needs to become stronger and protect Xiaoxue instead of relying on Xiaoxue for protection.
Murong just sent Lin Chengzhi away and then returned to the study. In the past month, although the wound had healed, he kept complaining of a headache. Even the doctor could not find out what the disease was.
Therefore, Chen Wu could only let Chen Wu do the work of finding his sister. Chen Wu went to Jiangnan but there was no news of his return. He didn't know if something happened on the way. Murong Gang clenched his fists, and when he heard someone knocking on the door outside, his expression changed.
Let people come in as usual.
"Uncle, grandma's head hurts again." It was Song Cailian's personal maid, Li Zhi, who came in.
A hint of impatience flashed in Murong Gang's eyes, "If I go to the doctor, can I still live with my woman guarding her every day?"
Li Zhi trembled in fright and knelt on the ground in panic, "I know I was wrong."
"Get out."
Li Zhi rolled out of the study and hurriedly entered the backyard. Song Cai heard the footsteps in the room and hurriedly lay back on the bed, stroking her head with her hands and humming softly.
He glanced at Li Zhi who came in hastily from the corner of his eyes, and glanced behind her, but saw that figure was nowhere to be seen. His heart sank, and he stopped pretending and sat up, "Where is the uncle?"
In the past month, she wanted to spend more time with her husband. Even though the wound was healed, she always complained that she had a headache, so her husband always stayed with her. She never became impatient. If someone hadn't come to see her husband just now,
, my husband is still here with me at this time.
Li Zhi's face turned pale, "Grandma, the uncle lost his temper and said that grandma had a headache and asked a doctor. He can't be around women all the time."
After hearing this, Song Cailian tightened her hands on her chest and asked, "Who is coming?"
"The eldest young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When I went there, I happened to meet him seeing him off."
Song Cailian murmured to himself, looking lonely, "No wonder, in his heart, his sister is always more important than my wife."
Biting her lips slightly, her husband annoyed her, what should she do? No, it can't be like this.
Song Cailian got up and got out of bed, "Let's go to the front yard."
Not long after, the master and servant arrived at the front yard. They heard that the uncle was in the study. They knocked on the door and heard someone coming in. Then they opened the door and walked in. Song Cailian stepped forward lightly and knelt on the ground under Murong Gang's sideways gaze.
.
"It's my fault that I'm not in good health these days. It's my fault that I overworked my husband." After Song Cailian finished speaking, she gently touched her forehead with her hand.
Murong Gang sighed inwardly, but did not get up to help her, "Get up if you feel uncomfortable."
Song Cailian's heart sank again, and she didn't dare to pretend anymore, "Yes, I wonder if there is any news about the eldest sister? If it weren't for my concubine, my husband could also go to the eldest sister. How can I be embarrassed when facing my eldest sister in the future?
"
"Okay, I still have things to deal with. You go back to the backyard first." She didn't think anything of it when she heard it a few days ago. But now that she knew the suffering her sister had suffered, she felt extremely irritable after hearing it.
Song Cai bit her lip and stepped back. Liang Zhi looked at her master with a bad expression and didn't dare to say anything. In fact, his master has gone too far this time. My aunt treats her master like a close relative. Something happened now.
, the master actually refused to let the uncle go to him because he was pretending to be sick. The uncle cares most about his aunt and grandma. How can he not be angry now?
Back in the room, Song Cailian's eyes were red, "Did I go too far? But what did I do wrong? Didn't I just want him to spend more time with me? Isn't this also wrong? Before he
Is his sister really the only thing that matters in his heart? Then who am I?"
Frightened, Li Zhi glanced outside the door. Fortunately, there was no servant, so he closed the door behind him and said, "Grandma, please keep your voice down. If it reaches the ears of the uncle, I'm afraid there will be a rift between you and the uncle."
"This is my own yard. Is it possible that I can't even say a few words and just pass it on to anyone who wants it? Am I still afraid?" Song Cai cried in grievance.
The reason why I am so ignored by him is not because I did something sorry for him when the two of them were together, so they can't hold their heads high together. Is it because of this that I have always felt that I owe him a lifetime?
No, it must not be like this. To change the situation at hand, the only way is to make him do something that is sorry for him and make him feel guilty, so that he doesn't have to hold his head high in front of him.
How can we do it? Song Cai even forgot to cry when she thought about what she overheard that day, "What are the water bamboos in the aunt's yard doing these days?"
Because she was pretending to be sick, she never went to Meiyuan.
Laizhi didn't know why his master suddenly asked this, but he still answered truthfully, "Every day I go to the Yangsheng Hall to inquire about my aunt's news. When I come back, I stay in the plum garden and never come out."
She seems to be a decent person, but for my own sake, I can only use her.
A plan quickly formed in her mind. Song Cailian knew that this matter must be done before her aunt came back, otherwise her aunt would doubt her, and she would not be able to let Shuizhu find a backer.
