When Lan Ting heard Man Miao's complaint, a smile appeared on his lips, "I do know what he is thinking.
Didn't Jie Ai give me a few pieces of my father's bones before? I asked someone to check, and it was indeed that he died of poisoning, and it took a long time. The prince has been sending people to poison his father. This case
Emperor Lan Ling must have known about it. At least Empress Dowager Xu knew about it.
Among the clues I found, at least one of my father's personal eunuchs was bribed by the Xu family. Although that person has been dealt with long ago, if you are willing to investigate, you can find out a lot of things.
The abbot of the Imperial Ancestral Temple is from me, and the Qintian Prison is from the Empress Dowager. Both sides said that there were some unusual changes and horoscopes, which hinted that the ancestors were uneasy. First, they reported these things in the court.
Not many people pay attention to it, but that doesn't matter, I just want them to know a few things.
I also arranged for a few people to secretly release the news, deliberately letting the emperor's people hear it, saying that the death of the late emperor was mysterious. Seeing the country fall into the hands of evil-minded people, the ancestors of all generations could not feel at ease.
The emperor was already feeling guilty. After hearing the news, he was afraid that I would take action and demand an inspection of my father's mausoleum. So he wanted to find some key points on me to tell me not to act rashly."
As soon as Manmei heard this, her heart was lifted, she stopped moving, holding the bowl and asked, "How are the imperial family and the concubines in the palace?"
Lan Ting touched her face and straightened the silk flowers on her head. Manmiao was pregnant now and had no intention of dressing up. She kept her hair light and did not wear expensive jewelry.
"Don't worry, now Zhu Mingjun has been pressed into a secret prison in the palace, and Queen Xu is also locked up in her own Chuxiu Palace and is not allowed to come out. Sun Yuanzheng is now the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, and he can only wait to deal with Zhu Mingjun
Then you can take charge of the Imperial Guard. The palace is very safe now. My mother and concubines have been running the palace for many years and have reliable people to protect them."
The two talked for a while, and then Mengmei's drowsiness came. Lan Ting carefully held her in his arms, letting her lean on his shoulder and fall asleep comfortably.
Seeing that she was sleeping, Zhuxiang covered her with a fox fur cloak.
When the carriage stopped, Manmei woke up. Lan Ting wanted to carry her out of the car, but she got off by herself and wanted to stretch her muscles. She was almost three months old and she had to start exercising when the fetus was more stable.
In this era, there were no surgeries such as caesarean sections. They all relied on natural birth. If you don’t exercise now, you will suffer when you give birth. It is not a joke for women in ancient times to kill two people. Kangxi’s wife is dead, not to mention other women.
people?
When she got out of the car, she saw that she had returned to Prince Yi's Mansion again. She turned to Lan Ting and asked, "Aren't you going to Zhuangzi?"
Lan Ting nodded and tied up the cloak for her, "I'm not going. Since I know it's false news, there's no need to go to Zhuangzi. I've also figured it out. It's better to put you where I can see you. I'll feel more at ease.
, no matter what, I will protect the safety of your mother and son."
Entering the house, I found Huangfu Xun waiting in the house, and his second wife was also there.
When the second lady saw her, she hurriedly came up to her, took her hand and looked up and down. She repeatedly emphasized that she was fine, and the second lady felt relieved. She patted her chest with her hand and said calmly, "You kid, you are really scaring me to death."
I was at home and heard that you had been attacked by an assassin. I was almost scared to death. I was afraid that something would happen to you. I didn’t dare to tell the old lady, so I could only pray to the Bodhisattva in my heart to protect you."
The second lady really treated her as if she were her own child, and Manmei was very grateful in her heart. She shook the second lady's hand and pulled her to sit on a chair. "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. Someone may be doing harm to our family recently. You and
Brother, you should also be careful."
When she said there was someone there, she raised her index finger and pointed upward, and the second lady understood what she meant, "Don't worry about this, we are also from a family of military commanders, and we will never let others slaughter us like this."
Manmei felt relieved when she thought about how many generations of Huangfu's family had been in the military and that all the wives she married were daughters of military generals.
After the second lady finished talking to Manmiao, she took her back to the room. She watched her change her clothes and asked the doctor to check her pulse. After confirming that she was indeed fine, she was willing to go back with peace of mind.
Lan Ting waited for the second lady and Huangfu Xun to leave, then walked to Manmiao's room, looked at him and said with a smile, "I thought about it, I'd better not be so nice to you, otherwise the emperor will keep staring at you."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and Lan Ting's head guard led a graceful woman with low eyebrows into the room. The woman was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with an oval face, almond eyes and cherry lips, and she looked pretty at first sight.
people.
As soon as she entered the door, she knelt down and said hello to the prince and princess, her voice was clear and sweet.
Lan Ting pointed at her and said, "This is my wet nurse's little daughter Wanting. I made the decision to marry my captain Zhang Zhong as her second wife. They planned to get married within this year, but it seems that their good life will be delayed."
I plan to buy a house and place her in that house to use as my outer room.
When everything is settled, I will give the house to the young couple as a wedding gift."
Lan Ting looked at Manmiao and explained carefully, "Recently, I will go to her house from time to time to sit and sit." While carefully looking at Manmiao's face, he said, "Of course it's just to sit and sit. I bring a piece of paper with me every time."
Go with Zhong, don’t worry, I won’t do anything random.”
Man Miao thought about how bad the reputation of this pair of women was. "Isn't that bad? She is still the wife of Captain Zhang. You are just trying to make trouble by stealing someone's wife like this."
Lan Ting said nonchalantly, "Who will see if she lives in the house with a veil? Besides, when the matter is over, if she says that Wai Shi died of illness, no one will know who she is. I have something to do outside.
I also need a reliable person to handle this matter, so that no one will notice the clues, so I approached Wanting."
After saying that, he took Manmei's hand and said, "I have you and the child, and I will never mess around. This is just a temporary measure, it won't last long."
He did not shy away in front of others, and Manmei broke away from his hand. Wanting covered her mouth and said with a smile, "The prince treats the princess so well." After saying that, she glanced sideways at Zhang Zhong, who looked at her blankly.
, grinned. Manmei looked at the two of them looking at each other, their eyebrows full of friendship, and it was obvious that she and Zhang Zhong were in love with each other.
At night, Lan Ting lay on the bed, rubbing circles on his graceful belly, "I'm going to bring out some evidence tomorrow and ask the emperor to start a thorough investigation into the cause of the late emperor's death."
Manmiao turned to him slightly, "What can the emperor do? The prince did this. After a thorough investigation of his position, can he still sit still? He is not stupid. If you throw out these clues now, if he gets angry,
Killing people and silencing them will only cut off their future path."
Lan Ting smiled and covered her shoulders with the quilt, "Not really. Recently, I have found many spies in the capital to spread the word. The news in the capital has been spread beyond recognition, and the emperor cannot sit still.
