"Ning'er, my son, you have suffered!" Mrs. Lan cried and hugged Lan Ning, "How pitiful! The child is fine, look at it quickly!"
The child was currently being held by Zi Yan, who hurriedly handed it to Lan Ning.
The child was crying uncontrollably. Lan Ning looked at it and smiled extremely tiredly, but also extremely relieved.
Then she moved her mouth, but no words came out.
"The princess is too tired. I'll ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look later. If she doesn't have any serious problems, I'll let her sleep for a while." Nanny Qi said.
"That's right." Everyone said, "Don't you have to have a good rest?"
"The emperor's grandson is hungry," said the ghost woman, "it's best to feed him, otherwise his stomach will hurt if he cries for a long time.
"Oh, I'm so happy!" Lan Ning's sister-in-law said, "Call the wet nurse over here."
The wet nurse is a reliable person who has been found a long time ago and was at the house a month in advance.
When the little grandson got the milk, he immediately stopped crying, closed his eyes, and sucked hard.
Everyone's worries were relieved, and the eldest grandmother of the Lan family said: "The girls and I will change the girl into clean clothes and bedding. Everyone, please go outside and have a rest first."
When everyone walked to the west room, Mrs. Lan said to the ghost woman: "You can't judge a person by his appearance. I was short-sighted before.
You are a meritorious person, and we will definitely reward you generously."
Then he said to Xue Hengzhao: "Good boy, we are concerned but confused. What happened today is thanks to you.
I have offended you before, let me make amends to you!"
"Madam, please don't do this. We are all thinking about the princess and the emperor's grandson. Besides, there are accidents everywhere today, and it is really difficult to make a decision.
Everything this slave does is risky, and it is right for Madam to be vigilant." Xue Hengzhao did not take this matter to heart at all.
Aunt Qi also said: "This girl is so brave, she almost never scared the old slave to death. But fortunately, there was no danger, it is really Amitabha!"
After a while, Lan Ning's sister-in-law asked Xue Heng to come out.
When Xue Hengzhao came outside, the eldest grandma of the Lan family took her hand and said with an apologetic smile: "Hengzhao, thanks to you, everyone is happy today. I was a little anxious before, and I really feel sorry for it."
As he spoke, he wiped off the bracelet on his hand and forced it on Xue Hengzhao: "I really don't know how to be grateful. You must accept it, otherwise my heart will be ruined day and night."
Xue Hengzhao wanted to refuse, saying that this was her duty, but the eldest lady of the Lan family said, "The princess is asking you to come in! She said she has something urgent to say, so go quickly!"
With that said, he pushed Xue Hengzhao in that direction and went to the west room.
Xue Hengzhao then went to Lan Ning again. At this time, the smell of blood in the room was almost gone.
Lan Ning was also tidied up and tidied up. The little prince had eaten his fill and was fast asleep, lying next to his mother.
"You all go out first." Lan Ning's voice was still weak, but somewhat better than before.
When only she and Xue Hengzhao were left in the room (little Huangsun didn't understand, so he could not be counted as a human being for the time being), Lan Ning took her hand and choked out: "Thank you!"
"This is what a slave should do," Xue Hengzhao shook his head, "No need to say thank you."
"There is nothing that should or should not be done," Lan Ning slowly shook her head, "What happened today is so dangerous. How many people are willing to abandon their own safety and take risks for our mother and son?"
After all, even her family members are worried about being blamed if something goes wrong.
"After all, the emperor's concubine and the emperor's grandson are good friends," Xue Hengzhao said, "I don't want anyone to succeed, so I make a dangerous move."
"You are so smart, so naturally you have noticed it a long time ago." Lan Ning nodded, "The second sister-in-law and the others are so powerful that the former harem has almost formed a net, trying to catch us all.
But we can't complain alone. We just make a noise about the matter. Firstly, no one will testify, and secondly, it is difficult to grasp the evidence. We cannot win people's trust, and in the end it becomes an excuse to slander others."
"You're right, that's what it looks like." Xue Hengzhao agreed with this point.
Lan Ning closed her eyes and calmed down: "They all told me to rest, but in fact I couldn't sleep.
This time, it was the fate of our mother and son, coupled with your courageous and knowledgeable helper, that allowed us to come back from the door of death.
I also had a narrow escape. At this critical moment, I wanted to understand many things."
As she said this, she turned her head and looked at her sleeping son, with tears in her eyes: "He was born safely today, but he doesn't know how many conspiracies he will encounter in the future.
If you can't fight hard to get some life, you will end up being eaten by hungry wolves and tigers.
I have no favors for you, but you saved the lives of our mother and son twice.
Hengzhao, let this child recognize you as his godmother! I am his mother, and I can do this.
From now on, you and I are like sisters, sharing weal and woe."
"Prince and concubine, please don't do this, you will harm your servant." Xue Hengzhao's current status is too low and sensitive.
"You are a very knowledgeable and strategic person. We, mother and son, all have to rely on you." Lan Ning was very determined, "At worst, we won't reveal it to the public for the time being, so let's recognize him at least!
Besides, if you and I want to work together for great things, we can’t judge them based on worldly dignity.
If you don’t agree, there’s no need to talk about the future.”
"You trust me so much, I can't refuse anymore," Xue Hengzhao saw Lan Ning's sincerity and agreed, "You don't want to sit back and wait for death. I will do my best to protect you and your grandson."<
/p>
Lan Ning heard what she said and held her hand tightly: "I have no intention of competing for fame and fortune, but I don't want to be slaughtered by others.
Since slander is unavoidable and showing weakness is useless, we have no choice but to fight back desperately.
Even if I cannot escape the murderous hand in the end, I would rather live with my voice than die silently."
"If you have such ambition, we can fight against it." Xue Hengzhao smiled slightly, "And the status of the emperor's eldest grandson is extraordinary. If you can really be granted the title of Tanzhou, the richest fiefdom in the world, as your Majesty said,
Now that you have it in hand, you will be able to do things more advantageously in the future."
"I don't dare to think so far for now," Lan Ning sighed carefully, "I just think that Ma and others will definitely harm this child. How can we keep him safe?"
"Don't worry, I have already thought of a countermeasure." Xue Hengzhao said with a firm tone, "I'll tell you my plan first, so that you can rest assured, but you can't let others know.
Things can be accomplished through secrets, and failure can be revealed through words. You must be careful."
"Don't worry, I understand the stakes and dangers here," Lan Ning said, "To put it bluntly, what we are doing is to lose our heads. How can we let people know about it?"
Xue Hengzhao then quietly told Lan Ning his plan in detail. After hearing this, Lan Ning was surprised and admired. She looked at Xue Hengzhao and said, "Where did you come up with this plan? It really scares the gods!
Okay, okay, with a great fortune teller like you, I can sit back and relax!"
