Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

After adjusting her breathing, Hai Chaoyun finally spoke: "Mother, what Madam Liu said makes sense. It is best for you to be in charge of the overall situation at home."

Wang Ruofu glared at her, wanting to say, "You just want to go to the palace to see Changbai yourself, right?" But she heard Hai Chaoyun continue, "My daughter-in-law is pregnant now, so it's not good for her to go out. Why not let Changdong go! He's a boy, and he's learned some martial arts, so it's more appropriate for him to go and deliver some food to my father-in-law and the master."

Wang Ruofu hesitated and said, "He is still a child. Is it okay to let him go? Why not, let Ruer..."

Mother Liu quickly stopped her: "Fifth Miss has a rough temper. If we let her go, she might really make mistakes!"

Wang Ruofu said stubbornly, "Ruru was just a little noisy at home. She always behaves well-behaved when she goes out. She just went to the palace to deliver some soup to her father and brother. How could she make a mistake?" But after she said that, she hesitated... It would be fine if Rulan just stayed still, but she was indeed impatient when doing things.

Chang Dong put down his pen, walked around the screen and into the hall, bowing to Wang Ruofu: "Please rest assured, mother. I have been taught by you for so many years, and I will never embarrass you in the palace."

Wang Ruofu was very pleased with what he said. As expected, she smiled, but she was still stern: "This is the palace. If you make a mistake, your father and brother will also be reprimanded."

Chang Dong bowed even lower: "Son knows. Son will definitely remember mother's instructions and be careful in everything. I will be back as soon as I deliver the things."

Wang Ruofu thought about it and felt that there was really no other candidate, so she agreed to Changdong's request.

She personally went into the kitchen to make a large bowl of soup and baked some bread to eat with the soup. But then she thought to herself that the bread would make the person too irritated, so she also made a large pot of chrysanthemum tea to clear heat and improve eyesight, and asked Changdong to bring it into the palace.

Changdong practices martial arts every day, and he is very steady even when carrying so many things. Wang Ruofu feels relieved when she sees him.

At noon, Changdong arrived at the palace gate in a carriage and handed over the Sheng family's invitation...

At this time, a man dressed as a porter beside the palace gate said to the people around him: "Isn't that the seventh son of the Sheng family? Why is he here at this time?"

Another porter beside him said: "Could it be that this is also arranged by the young master?"

"What can you do by arranging a young boy to enter the palace?"

"How would I know……"

"If you don't know, don't say anything. If there's chaos at this moment, we may not be able to save him."

"Master, you only asked us to protect the young men and maids coming out of the palace, but you didn't ask us to protect Sheng Qilang, right?"

"You are stupid! If the young master didn't value the Sheng family, would he let us take turns guarding it?"

"Isn't it because all the Gu family's belongings are stored in the Sheng Mansion? The ones on duty are the belongings, not the people, right?"

"Nonsense, without the Sheng family, who would help the Gu family to protect their belongings? The fourth and fifth rooms would have emptied them out long ago."

"Didn't the Sheng family know? Only Second Brother Sheng knew."

"Isn't Brother Sheng a member of the Sheng family? He has helped you so much, shouldn't you protect his brothers?"

"…That makes sense! However, I think that since the Sheng family is so important, one of the two people on duty at the Sheng family today should be assigned to look after Sheng Qilang, right?"

The two looked around and saw a familiar face drinking tea in a nearby teahouse.

The three people and six eyes exchanged glances quickly, and then looked away.

"I actually guessed it right! Haha! Brother, after spending so much time with you, I have really become smarter!"

"You are so poor!"

These people are all descendants of the old members of the Gu family. In the past few years, they followed the court's orders and went to serve other people, but they were excluded and not valued. So they simply left the army and came to serve Gu Tingye directly. Gu Tingye gave a lot and was a righteous person. These people lived much better with the help of Gu Tingye than in the army.

Two years ago, when Gu Tingye had a falling out with his family and moved to Tianshui Lane, it was this group of people who guarded the simple little house openly and secretly. Otherwise, the mud-paste tile wall would have been trampled by the Gu family many times. Not to mention that Gu Tingye later moved all his property to the little house. If there were no experts to guard it, how could he stop the wolf-like Gu family? It was precisely because they couldn't rob or steal that Gu Tingye's fourth and fifth aunts shamelessly came to his door to curse, trying to use moral weapons to force Gu Tingye to submit. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and ran into Qi Heng and Liang Han. He failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice, and got himself into trouble.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the fourth and fifth wives turned to the Yong prince. For more than half a year, they bought many beautiful concubines from all over Jiangnan and presented them to the Yong prince and his many sons, which won the Yong prince's praise. Xiao Qin, who was tortured to death by her sister-in-law in her natal family, also took advantage of their favor and joined the Yong prince's wife. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my ally.

In Xiao Qin's eyes, this was her only chance to turn the tables; in the eyes of the fourth and fifth branches of the Gu family, it was better to drag the Qin family into the game than to take the risk alone. The two sides agreed that after the King of Yong succeeded to the throne, they would work together to deal with Gu Tingye and divide up the property that originally belonged to them.

Logically speaking, since these three were from the Yongwang family, they should have no contact with Rong Fei until death. But today, for some reason, Rong Fei suddenly sent someone to invite them to come to the palace to talk.

The Qin family is a royal family, so it is reasonable for Xiao Qin to be invited into the palace, but the Gu family has now been abandoned by the emperor, so why would Rong Fei invite them? What's more, Rong Fei did not invite Xiao Qin's sister-in-law, the mistress of the Qin family, but only invited her alone... Xiao Qin was worried, and used the excuse of abdominal pain to delay time, and sent someone to the Yongwang Mansion to inquire about the news.

As a result, the person who went there came back to report that Prince Yong and his family had already entered the palace.

"The Yong family is also in the palace?" Little Qin quickly analyzed, "Could it be that Rong Fei saw that the crown prince was about to be enthroned, so she wanted to bow her head and make peace with the Yong family, so she treated us politely to show Princess Yong?"

She couldn't help laughing: "It's true that the situation is stronger than people! Even a blood feud of life and death will become worthless in front of the emperor's authority. How much Rong Fei loves her sister? Haha, now she has to bow her head and smile for the murderer?"

Thinking of this, she put on her makeup and followed the eunuch into the palace with a radiant look.

When she entered the hall, Fourth Aunt and Fifth Aunt were talking excitedly in front of Concubine Rong. Xiao Qin bowed to Concubine Rong, and then stood beside Fourth Aunt and Fifth Aunt and chatted with them.

Princess Pingning sat far away at the end of the guest seats. She covered her mouth with a fan and whispered to Lady Yinggong beside her, "Why are all the people here friendly with the Yongwang family? Or they are the families of military commanders. Why are none of the people who are close to the Rong family here?"

The Duchess of England said calmly, "Your Highness has noticed it, too?"

The wife of the Duke of Yue next to her said: "A concubine without children, no matter how favored she is, is just a sunset or a grasshopper in autumn. She doesn't know how to restrain herself. She called so many officials and noble ladies here just to talk to her? Oh, she is so arrogant!"

Princess Pingning had a bad feeling in her heart and hurriedly said, "Keep your voice down!"
