After Lan Zhen returned to Beijing with Yunxi, she also went to the palace to wait for Lao Zhu's summons. Others could go home, but he couldn't. They had to wait until they met Lao Zhu.
After Lao Zhu saw Yunxi, he heard that Lan Zhen was waiting outside, so he asked Li Jinzhong to tell Lan Zhen to come in.
After Lan Zhen came in, she immediately knelt down and said, "I, Lan Zhen, deserve to die!"
Lao Zhu was not as good-tempered towards Lan Zhen as he was towards Yunxi. He snorted and said: "You still know that you deserve death! If it weren't for your dedication, you would be dead by now.
.”
Lao Zhu was trying to scare Lan Zhen. He knew that Yunxi would definitely comfort Lan Zhen after the incident. The grandfather and grandson were like one playing the good role and the other playing the bad side. Of course Lao Zhu was the bad side.
Lan Zhen probably understood, so after listening to what Lao Zhu said, she knew that she had not committed a serious crime. But she was still worried about what punishment would be given.
However, Lao Zhu said that after he and Yunxi discussed it further, he asked Lan Zhen to withdraw.
After Lan Zhen returned home, she didn't sit there for long when Lan Lian's wife, Mrs. Hu, heard the news and rushed over and asked: "Uncle, why didn't my husband come back together?" She has been hiding Lan Lian's death from her these days.
matter.
Lan Zhen looked at her belly and saw that Mrs. Hu was still pregnant! But Lan Zhen understood that she could hide it for another three to five days, but she might not be able to hide it for more than two months.
So Lan Zhen asked Mrs. Hu to sit down, and then said after careful consideration: "Brother and sister, you..."
Mrs. Hu was also very smart. Seeing Lan Zhen put on such an expression, she said in horror: "Is my husband injured in some way and unable to follow the army back to the capital quickly?" She still didn't dare to do what happened with Lan Lian's death.
Lan Zhen said: "Second brother, I am the queen of His Highness in Xuan Mansion and died in front of the formation."
Mrs. Hu felt that the world was spinning and she suddenly fainted on her seat. Lan Zhen immediately asked the doctor who had been prepared to come forward.
After a while, Mrs. Hu woke up. When she saw Lan Zhen, she said, "Uncle, did my husband really die in the battle in Xuanfu?"
Lan Zhen said with tears: "It's true, sister-in-law, don't be too sad, you still have a child in your belly. You have to cheer up even for the sake of the child in your belly!"
Mrs. Hu sat on the chair, but before she could speak, she suddenly covered her stomach with her hands and said, "Why do I feel like my stomach is falling?"
Lan Zhen didn't know what was going on, so the doctor began to feel her pulse again. But Lan Zhen's wife Chen, who was standing by, stepped forward and said, "My brother and sister are about to give birth."
Lan Zhen asked in surprise: "How many months will it take to give birth?"
Mrs. Chen said: "It's already been seven months. Plus what I said just now, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the thought of giving birth."
At this time, the doctor also said: "Sir, your wife is afraid that she is going to give birth. Please find a midwife to deliver the baby quickly."
Lan Zhen hurriedly called people to prepare for the birth of the baby. Fortunately, Chen had experience and finally found a midwife.
Because her younger brother was already dead, Lan Zhen stood outside the delivery room and waited anxiously, while Mrs. Chen was also waiting.
An hour later, the midwife came out of the delivery room and knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the fetus is not stable. We can only save one adult and one child."
Lan Zhen said: "Everything big and small must be protected!"
The midwife said: "Master, why don't we want to save both the big and small? If we can't save them all, then that's not a sign of failure! But there's nothing we can do now!" Moreover, they were afraid that Lan Zhen would chop them down in anger, so don't think that the doctor is making trouble.
It’s only now. If I hadn’t been there, I definitely wouldn’t have said this.
Seeing her talking like this, Lan Zhen knew that she had no other ideas. She walked a few steps and said, "Bao Xiaoxiao! The second brother is gone. We can't let his only flesh and blood be lost."
After hearing this, the midwife hurriedly went in. Lan Zhen felt as if a long time had passed before she heard a loud cry. Lan Zhen wanted to rush in, but Mrs. Chen stopped him and said, "We can't go in now.
"
After a while, the inside was packed and Lan Zhen went in. At this time, Mrs. Hu was still alive. Lan Zhen looked at the newborn baby, and the midwife said: "It's a daughter of gold."
Of course Lan Zhen was a little disappointed, but after all, this was Lan Lian's only child, so he still cherished it very much.
Mrs. Hu knew she wouldn't live long, so she struggled and said, "Let me see my child."
Lan Zhen came to Hu with the baby in her arms and let Hu take a look.
Mrs. Hu wanted to hug the baby, but she no longer had the strength to do it. She said intermittently: "Uncle, I, please... do something from you."
Lan Zhen said: "No matter what it is, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Mrs. Hu said: "I beg you to let...my daughter be able to...choose her own husband in the future, and don't use it for marriage."
Lan Zhen agreed: "No problem."
After hearing Lan Zhen's answer, Mrs. Hu took a closer look at her daughter, and then her eyes stopped moving.
When Qin Song returned home, the first thing he did was hug his father Qin Shoushan, his brother Qin Sen, and his mother Xu and cry. After crying, Qin Song wiped his tears and placed his brother Qin Nan's place in his ancestral hall.
I couldn't help but cry again in the ancestral hall.
It was Qin Shoushan who was the first to come over and said: "Mom, Qin Song, don't cry, don't break your body from crying. Qin Song, now that your eldest brother is gone and Sen'er is still young, the whole family is counting on you. You
But we can’t let anything go wrong again.”
Qin Song slowly stopped crying.
Then Qin Shoushan said: "Although your eldest brother is gone, you have to think about your marriage. Make a decision first, and then we will get married after the funeral for your eldest brother."
Qin Song said: "Dad, His Highness told me about our marriage in Xuan Mansion."
Qin Shoushan said: "Your Highness will act as a matchmaker for you? This is really great. The family's family status cannot be low, right?"
Qin Song said: "Dad, she is the daughter of Zhang Lun, the commander of the security right guard. He used to be a geography teacher in the martial arts hall in Beijing. I am familiar with him. Commander Zhang is a good person, and his daughter's style
The reviews are also good.”
Qin Shoushan said: "Okay, okay! You just said that His Highness is a matchmaker, and I am worried that His Highness did not consider the person's condition. Since this is the case, I am relieved. But this family is in Xuanfu, so it is not convenient to get married.
"
Qin Song said: "His Royal Highness has said that Zhang Lun will be transferred back to Beijing after the New Year."
Qin Shoushan said: "Okay, okay! This makes me feel relieved." After a pause, he said: "Your Highness, our family has been very thoughtful! We are also very careful about Qin Nan's death; and our family is pointing to it now.
You must behave well in front of His Highness, even for your eldest brother, you cannot slack off."
Qin Song replied very formally: "Yes, Dad. I will never slack off."
