The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

The two prefectures are separated by a certain distance, and it takes a long time to drive back and forth.

Lu Shi glanced at the sky outside, but without speaking, Chu Ran said, "Do you want to take a bath? I'll ask someone to arrange it. I have new pajamas, which I haven't worn yet."

She called the maidservant to prepare soup, and went to the closet to get clean clothes by herself.She just celebrated her birthday, but she is only 15 years old, a little shorter than Lu Shi, and her clothes are also shorter, Lu Shi glanced at her, and did not refuse.

The furnishings in the Princess Mansion should be simple, and Chu Ran is not extravagant, simple and elegant.After Lu Shi glanced at the surrounding environment, he turned away the maidservant.

The sound of water rushing next door, Chu Ran sat on the couch, suddenly remembered that morning in the northwest, Lu Shi's disheveled appearance, the skin at the neckline was snow-white, continuous color, extremely gorgeous in the cold.

She hugged the blanket and lay down again, turned over, unable to sleep.

During the day, she deliberately uncovered the matter to break Ling Yi's mind. Although the words were cruel, there were indeed those problems.

Xinyang reminded her several times that the coincidence of Lingyi is the best proof.

When she turned over in boredom, footsteps came from outside the screen, and she sat up in shock. After a few breaths, Lu Shi turned around from behind the screen.

The pajamas were made by her in spring, and the size was enlarged on purpose. The maid said that she would grow longer and could not be made according to her body size, so the pajamas were bigger than her.

It was just right for Lu Shi to wear it.

She subconsciously moved a few inches into the couch, and left the outside of the couch for Lu Shi. She couldn't let people sleep underground, and her bed was big enough for the two of them to sleep.

Seeing her moving aside, Lu Shi was stunned. The scenes from the previous life flooded into his mind. At that time, Chu Ran married her, and the relationship was good. He always waited for her to come back, sometimes reading books and sometimes sitting withered. fall asleep.

Chu Ran lived a depressed life. She seemed like a princess who was born in the first place, and she had no happiness. Every day, she thought about how to protect the position of the prince and how to protect the Lian family.

She took a deep breath, habitually turned off the lights, and lay down on the outside.

The movements are so familiar, Chu Ran was surprised, this person is so familiar.There was only one blanket on the couch, which only occupied half of her, lying side by side.

There was a lonely lamp in front of the couch, which was on and off, and could not be seen clearly. There was a bit of charm in the faint shadows, and Chu Ran didn't dare to move.

She was a little uneasy, and a little hesitant. The scene in that dream was too real, and some details were correct. For example, this time the assassin assassinated His Majesty, but there were some discrepancies. Lu Shi was different from that dream.

Lu Shi in the dream was too cold and untouchable. The distance between her and her was too far. Although there was never a thousand mountains and rivers separated, it felt like the end of the world. She still couldn't see through Lu Shi.

She has been puzzled by this dream for many days. After thinking about it carefully, she always feels that it is a warning, and it may not happen.Now she is shielding the sword for His Majesty, running in the opposite direction, and happening in the opposite direction of the dream.

Confused by this, she turned over, turned her back to Lu Shi, pressed to the wound, lay down again, and let out a shallow breath.

Lu Shi was really unpredictable, and the emotions in her heart became complicated for a moment. She looked sideways at the person who was sleeping with her eyes closed. She turned sideways and stared at Lu Shi quietly.

Lu Shi was lying like this, just like in his dream, quiet and peaceful, the indifference between his brows faded, looking at her, a trace of inexplicable melancholy flashed across his heart, that she and Lu Shi might come to an end.

She had a strange feeling towards Lu Shi, and she didn't know what joy was, but she only knew that Lu Shi always appeared in her mind and penetrated deep into her bones.

Chu Ran couldn't help moving again, and stopped looking at Lu Shi.

She moved around, and the blanket moved accordingly. Lu Shi was disturbed by her and couldn't sleep. He sighed silently, and said softly, "What is your Highness thinking?"

"Thinking that we may have come to an end?" Chu Ran blurted out, unprepared, and felt annoyed after speaking, and hurriedly changed his words: "I mean, will we get along well after we get married."

Lu Shi shook his head slightly, and said euphemistically, "As long as Your Highness thinks, you can."

Chu Ran didn't believe it, she turned sideways restlessly, her eyes fell on her sharp chin, and touched her own, feeling that there was something different, hers looked better.

"Prime Minister, don't push everything on me..." Chu Ran retorted, and shut up obediently when she thought that in the dream it was her who was arguing with each other.

She paused in the middle of the sentence, which attracted Lu Shi's sideways eyes. She was puzzled: "Why didn't your Highness stop talking?"

Chu Ran shut her mouth tightly, didn't say anything, and hid under the quilt: "Sleep."

Became a turtle.Lu Shi chuckled, after all, she was a fifteen-year-old child, and couldn't hide her feelings well. Compared with her previous life, she still liked this seemingly shrewd, but actually stupid Chu Ran.

This kind of her is the real her.

Lu Shi was about to go to court, and she got up before dawn the next day. Even though she was cautious, she still alarmed Chu Ran. She hugged the blanket, opened her eyes in a daze, and asked in a daze, "Where are you going?"

With his back turned to her, Lu Shi couldn't help but smile when he heard her soft voice: "Go to court."

When she turned around, Chu Ran's eyes were half-opened, her face seemed to be full of childishness, her pink and tender skin was beautiful and fragile, like a delicate doll in the hands of a girl.

She was very different from the gloomy Xinping Princess in her previous life. For a while, seeing the similar appearance, Lu Shi was speechless.

Chu Ran woke up after being confused for a moment, never caring about Lu Xiang's obsession, just turned his head to look at the sky that had just turned white outside, and said, "It's still early, why don't you go to bed?"

"I'll go back to the house to change clothes first, and you can go to bed later." Lu Shi came back to his senses, with mixed emotions in his heart, and somehow reached out to help Chu Ran lie down.

The movements are natural and skillful, from the heart.

Chu Ran lay down obediently, feeling drowsy, but Lu Shi asked, "Have you dealt with the actors in Your Highness's mansion?"

She woke up with a jerk, she was still sleepy, and said falteringly: "Actor... I just came back yesterday, and I haven't done anything yet."

The actor is like a thorn in Lu Shi's heart, especially the gift from King Ning, the enchanting beauty makes people feel even more uncomfortable.She hummed lightly, turned around and was about to leave.

There was a feeling in Chu Ran's heart that Lu Shi would not talk to her for at least half a month after he left, and she soon understood.

Lu Shi's movements were faster than her brain's, and he left before she could speak, without staying for a moment.

The room is quiet, how can Chu Ran have the mind to go to sleep, Lu Shi seems to be more jealous?

This idea was refuted by myself as soon as it came up. How could Lu Shi care about these trivial matters in such a glorious manner.She rolled over and fell asleep again.

When he woke up, King Ning stepped into the mansion with his bloated body twisted, and the servant behind him was holding many brocade boxes in his hands. Laughter came through the door, "Xinping, Xinping, come quickly."

Chu Ran went to greet her, and he smiled, took her hand and said, "I heard that you are sick, and you can't go to the East Palace. I heard that you were going back to the house yesterday, so I rushed here today."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Chu Ran's face was rosy, and he graciously invited King Ning into the mansion.

At the same time, when Lu Shi went down to court, he met Ling Yi, and she seemed to have something to say. After the two met, just happened to be Dali Siqing coming, Lu Shi moved a few steps away, Ling Yi looked over, and vaguely heard Xi The word Qiang.

She stood there and waited. After a while, Lu Shi came over and said apologetically, "I'm in a hurry to go back to the office, so I'll take my leave first."

"Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang..." Ling Yi jumped up anxiously, she wanted to ask Lu Xiang if she was in his heart, if so, she went to ask Father, but before he said anything, he left.

She kicked the stones under her feet angrily, with resentment flashing in her heart, that elder sister thought of her so much.

It's obvious that the two of them have no feelings for each other, and they both said that the twisted melon is not sweet, but the elder sister just went to eat this melon, it's really boring, why can't she let her.

She has admired Lu Xiang since she was a child, if Elder Sister likes Lu Xiang, she will quit, but Elder Sister treats Lu Xiang with indifference, ordinary people are better than her, especially Lu Xiang is seriously ill, she went south to play.

This is obviously without emotion. Instead of being bound by the marriage contract, it is better to retire the engagement as soon as possible, so as not to delay Lu Xiang.

She returned to the central palace listlessly, and the queen was dressing up. Seeing her returning disappointed, she called her over and said in a low voice, "You'd better give up as soon as possible. If you're an ordinary person, I'll grab it for you, but it's Xinping's." People, you can't steal it."

"I know, just now when I went to see Prime Minister Lu, she didn't say a single word, and hurried back to the office to handle some errands, but she was really anxious, not perfunctory to me." Ling Yi comforted herself, there must be something urgent.

The queen's brows moved, and she pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why did she leave in such a hurry?" Could it be that the assassin has made progress?

Ling Yi unconsciously thought about it, and said: "I just heard the word Xiqiang, but I don't know anything else."

"Xiqiang?" The queen was slightly startled. Xiqiang is a small country on the border, a small land, and has always been guarded by the Lian family. Maybe something happened again.She covered up her doubts, sent Ling Yi away, and sent someone to call King Heng, and the mother and son discussed it.

****

It's not a big deal for the ten actors to stay in the princess mansion, but Lu Shi has already spoken, so it's not easy for her to stay. After sending off Uncle Ning, she tidied herself up and went to the palace to meet her.

Because of her meritorious service, Emperor Chu cared about her very much and called people to serve tea and cakes.

Chu Ran sat down on his knees, took a sip of tea quietly, and said, "Uncle Ning left from Er's house and sent over a dozen actors to him, so he can stand on the lotus platform and dance. Zhao Feiyan danced on her palm."

Emperor Chu was slightly shocked. In the past, Chu Ran must have come here to bring up political affairs for the prince, but this time it was different.He didn't like the princess to participate in political affairs, and he was afraid that the princess would seize the heir. There was a precedent for a woman to be the emperor in the previous dynasty, so he always thought that it was better for a woman to be in the hands of a man.

He doesn't like Xinping, and it's also because of this, but Chu Ran didn't mention political affairs, but interesting things, so he naturally became a benevolent father, and said with a smile: "Your Uncle Ning is used to these romantic things, playing songs every day, it's a lot of fun." Great fun."

"I have seen these actors, they are as beautiful as flowers, but I have never liked them. I plan to send them to the palace teaching workshop. Uncle Ning's people are naturally good. What do you think?" Chu Ran frowned, as if offering a treasure .

If it was normal, Emperor Chu would definitely doubt her intentions, but seeing that she was haggard and the flesh on her face was gone, he pinched her cheek lovingly, "King Ning sent you, you dare not accept it, I don't know how to deal with it, so I put it here."

"I can't hide it from Dad, I'm already old, and the marriage with Lu Xiang should be put on the agenda. It's not good to keep an actor." Chu Ran was charming, sticking out her tongue.

The dispute in the East Palace yesterday had already been heard by the emperor, he took a look at the slight injustice on Chu Ran's face, he could understand what she meant, and said tentatively: "Don't be arrogant, if you don't like it, don't force yourself. "

"Father, what would you do if someone coveted A Niang?" Chu Ran asked back.Back then, his marriage with the first queen was also due to the engagement of his parents, and the family was a good match, not because there were redundant feelings in the middle, but because the most important thing was the contact of interests, and he needed the support of his family.

Emperor Chu was taken aback by her question, and he became more and more sure that the young man was acting on his own will, and Lingyi's actions were really inappropriate, so he smiled: "Well, whatever, it's your aunt's intended marriage, I can't change it, Wait for me to ask Prime Minister Lu what he means."

"Thank you daddy, I'll go back home if I have nothing to do, don't delay daddy." Chu Ran took half a step back, bowed respectfully, and exited Zhang Huatai.

She just left like this?The doubts in Emperor Chu's heart retreated, thinking of King Ning's actor, he was puzzled, why couldn't the actor sent by King Ning be accepted?

In the afternoon, he went to the central palace to discuss the matter with the queen, and his son was too big to stay, and he wanted to marry after all.

The queen is in a good mood today. When she heard that Chu Ran was going to marry someone, she felt uncomfortable. She smiled and said, "It's not that the concubine is talking nonsense. I always feel that the two of them are not suitable. Chu Ran has brought more than ten actors into the mansion, and none of them Lu Xiang puts it in his eyes, and getting married in such a hurry is likely to become a resentful couple."

When she mentioned the actor, Emperor Chu immediately came back to his senses, people's words were terrifying, Chu Ran didn't want to accept it, but he didn't dare to accept it. The queen used this as an excuse, and the words of others would be even worse.

"Don't worry about these things, just take good care of Ling Yi. There are so many talented people in Chu State, why do you only like her elder sister's people?" Emperor Chu was a little displeased, especially when he heard that the queen was partial to Ling Yi, and scolded : "Just take good care of her."

The queen felt guilty, especially when he used Lingyi as a trick to test the relationship between Xinping and Lu Xiang a few days ago, and now he dislikes Lingyi's coveting sister, and he doesn't think about who condoned it.

Emperor Chu's mind was distorted, he was only thinking about himself, selfish, she didn't bother to say it, after all, he is the monarch of Chu country, he controls the world, she endured it, and said: "I know."

****

The actors are all chosen by King Ning, no matter how Chu Ran chooses them, they are all the best. She took a look and felt that it would not be good to send them into the palace hastily.She is not greedy for beauty, but she is also very seductive to look at.

Somehow, she regretted it.If Uncle Ning knew that she sent these people into the palace, he would poke her forehead and scold her for being a waste of money.

After sighing for a long time, she waved her hand to let the servant take him away. Xinyang was puzzled, and said: "Sister, you can't bear to stay, so why force yourself."

"It's not appropriate to keep it. I'm going to get married. To do so is to slap Lu Xiang in the face. It's not good." Chu Ran sighed.In the previous dynasty, there was a princess who took care of the face, and the son-in-law was inferior, so he dared not take care of it, and he would not speak up.But she is different, Lu Xiang is so powerful, he always feels that his princess status will be overwhelmed by her.

She leaned on the soft couch and sighed, Xinyang was puzzled, thinking that she was also engaged, she curiously said: "Sister, concubines are not allowed to take concubines."

"Wrong, a powerful son-in-law is fine. But the Zhou family dare not, so don't worry." Chu Ran comforted her, and when Axiu came outside, she sent Xinyang away: "I will take you to eat osmanthus tomorrow." duck."

Xinyang's eyes lit up, and he walked away with a smile.

Axiu came over and said in a low voice: "The secret passage has been opened. You need to open a door here. I don't know where it is. The blueprint shows that it is your bedroom."

The Xiangfu is connected to Lu Shi's bedroom, which is the safest, and no one dares to go to the master's bedroom casually on weekdays.Chu Ran didn't think too much, nodded in agreement, and said, "I will arrange it."

When Axiu withdrew, Chu Ran thought of Shiwu, it was the one who jumped out that night, and she didn't know if she was still alive.

"Fifteen is in the prime minister's mansion. If you want it, I can send it to you."

"Okay." Chu Ran said, she looked down at the drawings, looked at the furnishings in the house, and her eyes fell on the back of the closet, maybe she could open a secret passage from there.

Xinyang is in the mansion, so it is not easy to do things, she said to Axiu: "The construction will start tonight, I will take Xinyang out of the mansion tomorrow to play, one day and one night should be enough."

Axiu agreed, and went back to make arrangements.

****

The mother of the Marquis of Runan went to propose marriage to the queen, thinking that she would be made difficult, so she was fully prepared, but the queen didn't say a word of difficult things, she just let Qin Tianjian choose a good day.

The old lady didn't dare to stay longer, and returned to the mansion after receiving the answer, waiting for His Majesty's decree.

Lu Shi went to the Yamen regularly, and when he returned home, Ling Yi waited for a long time.

Lingyi is dressed in red clothes today, the color is pretty, just the best scenery when she was young, she smiled and said: "Lu Xiang, I know that my sister is annoying me, but I don't regret it, and I won't force it, don't forget me , how are you?"

Her humble attitude made people feel distressed, and her eyes were sad.

Lu Shi said, "The marriage between the minister and Princess Xinping has already been settled, so don't think too much about it, Your Highness."

One sentence that has already been engaged is better than all words.Ling Yi's eyes turned red immediately, she always liked it, and she didn't like Lu Xiang, so she didn't think she had done something wrong, the fault was the prior queen's engagement.

She cried out, and said: "Lu Xiang, if sister is not good, you can come back to me and I will wait for you."

Lu Shi didn't want to talk to her more, so he raised his head slightly to signal to Axiu to invite her into the mansion.

She didn't want to say a word, Lingyi cried until his eyes were red, and stretched out his small hand to pull off Lu Xiang's clothes, asking her to say something, when he stretched out in mid-air, he remembered the words of sister, Guatian Lixia, silently retracted hand.

Chu Ran, who was outside the house, could see her movements very clearly. Lingyi was innocent, and if she was being led away, Lu Shi was good, but it could only be hers.

She raised her head to look at the sunset, the sky was long in summer, and it was still dark for a while, Lingyi's crying voice could be heard faintly in her ears, she touched her eyes, and when she turned around, she saw that Lu Shi's expression softened a lot .

Can crying coax people?Xinyang didn't say this, she turned her head to look, Lingyi had stopped crying, her eyes were red.

Axiu sent Ling Yi away, she took a closer look, and felt that the relationship was very strange. When she looked back, Lu Shi came over and said in a low voice: "It's resolved, Your Highness, can you go to see the secret passage?"

Lu Shi's attitude remained the same, she thought for a while, and when she wanted to ask a question, the servant hurried over and said anxiously, "Your Highness, King Heng has entered the mansion, so you should return home quickly."

Why are the siblings so bored? She greeted Lu Shi and then left. Lu Shi reminded her: "When King Heng left, he was mostly for Xiqiang."

Chu Ran said: "I see."

When she returned to the mansion, King Heng sat in the hall and sipped tea quietly. When he saw her coming back, he looked up and smiled: "Xinping, why did you come back and where did you go?"

He was full of joy and spirits. Chu Ran glanced at him and said, "I'm going to the market, what's the matter, Brother Heng Wang?"

"Of course there is something. I heard that the assassin who assassinated you this time is related to Xiqiang." King Heng lowered his voice, mysteriously, pulled Chu Ran aside, and retreated from the serving maid.

Chu Ran felt disgusted when he held his wrist, and brushed it away calmly, "Where did you get the news?"

"Naturally, it is Dali Temple. Prime Minister Lu also has evidence, and His Majesty will know about it tomorrow." King Heng was full of confidence, his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

The disgust in Chu Ran's heart deepened. Looking at the jasmine under the window sill, it was in the blooming season, and small buds appeared among the green leaves, and the fragrance was very strong at night.She subconsciously touched the incense ball on her waist, and said back, "Xiqiang is quite courageous."

Heng Wang waited for a long time to get this sentence, feeling that she was getting more and more useless, and wanted to come over to ask a few words, but who knew it was a fool, so he said: "It's quite courageous, Xinping was injured innocently this time, It was also done by the Xiqiang thieves, His Majesty will definitely seek justice for you."

"Yeah." Chu Ran replied, without further ado.

King Heng pursued: "The Marquis of Changping is guarding the northwest, and he will definitely send troops to attack the Western Qiang."

Chu Ran hummed again, King Heng came here just to arouse the hatred in her heart, and complained to His Majesty and Marquis Changping, in this way, Xiqiang was really convicted.

However, she refused to go.There was no conclusion at all, she went into some muddy water and dirty her hands in vain.In the dream, the later King Heng was famous all over the world, and it was also after the death of the prince that his ears were full of good things about him.

Literati and ink guests boast about their virtues, their benevolence, and their ability to write.He is a few years older than the prince, so he didn't blow it before, but he started to blow it after the prince's death. It can be seen that these are all for him.

At that time in Chu, the crown prince died, she was expelled, Ling Yi disappeared, the third prince and the fourth prince were only ten-year-old children, and he was the only one who could be praised.

He is so proud, but he is blessed by the Huo family.Huo Qi wanted to pay homage to the prime minister, and his ambition was very big, but Lu Shi took the lead, which shows the resentment in his heart, and he and Lu Shi might not be able to get along well.

She thought about it bit by bit in her mind, and put together all the messy things in her dream, as if she understood a little bit, if she wanted to get rid of King Heng, she had to get rid of Huo's family first, and cut off his arm.

Chu Ran was speechless, but King Heng was still persuading her. She felt bored and had to hold back her breath to deal with him.

In the end, King Heng felt bored, and scolded: "Xinping is getting weaker and weaker. After suffering so much, he dare not stand up for himself. It's really useless. Let's see brother fight for you, then you have to be good." Thank you, my lord."

"Brother, you don't need to do this. Xinping believes in His Majesty, and he will make the decision for me. The weather is bad, and Xinping will send you off." Chu Ran drove away directly, and King Heng was stupid enough. I don't know how he won in the previous life , Chu sooner or later was defeated by him.

Seeing that she didn't take the bait, King Heng shook his sleeves angrily and left.

Chu Ran ignored him, went to the window again, looked at Jasmine, and asked the maid to walk to the bedroom with a pot in her arms.Meeting Xinyang on the way, she wondered: "Sister, where are you going to move this jasmine?"

Chu Ran wanted to move to the secret passage, so it was not easy to tell Xin Yang, so he said, "Move to the room, Brother Heng Wang just left, have you had dinner yet?"

"Sister, I want to leave the house." Xinyang said.

"Okay, I'll let someone follow you, change clothes before going, and bring some money, don't be afraid when you go out, others dare not bully you." Chu Ran had no doubts, only thought that she was going out of the house to play, and the people in the city The night market is very busy.

Lu Shi was not at the mansion, and was urgently summoned to the palace by Emperor Chu. At the same time, there was the Minister of Dali Temple, because of the Xiqiang affairs.Only a few clues were found, and the Emperor Chu decided to settle the case, and went to attack Xiqiang without asking how the Xiqiang people entered the palace.

Dali Temple Minister was having a headache, how to find out what happened, he was relieved when he heard the words, wiped the sweat from his head, and did not dare to move while kneeling on the ground, quietly listening to Emperor Chu getting angry.

"It's a small place, I have tolerated it again and again, and it's so reckless. Marquis Changping is so ineffective, and I have tolerated them making troubles these years. I thought the border was quiet, but I didn't expect the assassins to come into the palace. They are lawless and presumptuous!"

Several courtiers did not dare to raise their heads, they lowered their heads to listen to the Emperor Chu's words, Huo Qi came out and said: "This matter is not good for Marquis Changping, I'm afraid there will be future troubles."

However, Lu Shi said: "Lian's family has been guarding the northwest for several years. Back then, the queen and the queen died, and they never came back to express their condolences. They have their own way of guarding. Others who pass by rashly will not be as good as them. Besides, the case has not yet been settled. Huo Lao said It's too early to tell."

The snake struck seven inches, and the words were focused. Huo Qi blushed, and he shrank his neck and dared not speak anymore. Lu Shi held the evidence in his hand, so he didn't dare to offend.

When Dali Temple Minister heard that Lu Xiang wanted to investigate again, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground, and he couldn't find out after further investigation. He finally pushed the crime to the Xiqiang people. Huo Lao's brain is not good, why should he provoke Lu? Mutually.

He looked at Lu Shi imploringly, begging her not to say anything more.

Huo Qi shut his mouth tactfully, and Lu Shi didn't care about it, and said, "Your Majesty, since we are going to send troops, this year's military pay in the Northwest must be paid first, and the supplies must keep up with it."

As soon as he heard that the military salary was required, Emperor Chu became even more angry. Before he could speak in the future, Huo Qi said again: "Northwest has transferred money to the past, and if we transfer money again, I'm afraid that other generals will follow suit, and the situation will be difficult to control."

Lu Shi stood upright, staring at Emperor Chu's throne, and said coldly: "It's all about repairing the city wall. Besides, if you don't pay the army and the supplies can't keep up, how can you attack Xiqiang? Huo always feels sorry for Yinzi?"

The Huo family is in charge of the granary of the state of Chu, so naturally they will not agree easily, especially the Lian family in the northwest. Is it going to work? Another 5 people will be dispatched from it, and Xiqiang will definitely be taken in one fell swoop."

"Think twice, Your Majesty." Huo Qi was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The Northwest Lian family has 20 soldiers, and if we send troops to go there, the king's orders will not be accepted."

"I agree with what Huo Lao said, if Lian's family feels dissatisfied and goes to the capital of Ying, it is not appropriate for His Majesty to do so." Lu Shi said.

Huo Qi was shocked again, looked at Lu Shi and said: "Lu Xiang, when did I say that the Lian family will rebel, don't you want to spout blood."

Lu Shi was stunned, and asked in confusion, "Isn't that what Mr. Huo meant?"

"Your Majesty, I don't mean that. Don't listen to Prime Minister Lu slandering my minister." Huo Qi's face was flushed, and his heart was stuffy. Lu Shi deliberately misinterpreted his meaning so that he could be accused of sowing dissension. The most poisonous woman's heart.

"Enough is enough. At this time, it is impossible to fight in the nest." Emperor Chu yelled loudly, and the courtiers standing in the hall did not dare to speak again.

Huo Qiben had a guilty conscience and dared not speak again.

Emperor Chu insisted on going his own way, and the matter was settled.When several people exited Zhanghuatai, the moon was in the sky, and the eyes were dark. Dali Siqing escaped and left in a hurry. Huo Qi took a few steps slowly and walked with Lu Shi.

Huo Qi has already seen through Lu Shi's mind, "Is Lu Xiang a member of the prince's party, trying to help him?"

"Mr. Huo thinks too much, eat the king's salary, and share your worries." Lu Shi didn't stop on his feet, and left directly by car, leaving Huo Qi standing alone at the gate of the palace.

In the past, Lu Xiang would not help the prince openly, but since he came back from his illness, he has changed. He does everything for the prince. He is not a rich man. Lu Shi assists the prince, probably because of his marriage to Princess Xinping.

The marriage was tied to a courtier, and after he thought about it for a while, he hurried to Prince Heng's mansion. He is not married yet, and there are still some changes.

Lu Shi has deep plans in his heart, he can only be a friend, no matter how bad he is, he is also a stranger, and he should not become an enemy. Just the matter of the youngest son of a military general makes King Heng unable to hold his head up. Not to mention the military pay for the Northwest, and the transfer of soldiers and horses In this way, the Lian family must be the enemy.

Do not underestimate the enemy!

After Lu Shi returned to the mansion, Chu Ran came and went, and took Shiwu with him.

That night, Xinyang did not go back to the Princess Mansion, and Chu Ran was busy with secret affairs, so she never cared about it. She asked someone to remove the wardrobe in the house, and put a few jasmine flowers on the shelf, minding blocking the way out. past.

After finishing her work, she went to bed and fell asleep.

The next day, when she woke up, Xinyang had returned long ago. She listened to Concubine Ming's words, and bought the servants of the princess mansion with money. She returned to the mansion well. .

It's just that she didn't sleep all night and was very tired, so she went to sleep on the couch after telling the servant girl.

When Chu Ran woke up, it was already high in the sun. After changing the medicine, she saw that the sun was too big and the heat was unbearable. She asked the kitchen to make more than a dozen dishes for Xinyang, and sent someone to buy sweet-scented osmanthus chicken and new snacks. There is also white flower brew, which is enough for her to eat in the house for a whole day.

In the afternoon, with the sound of cicadas, she pushed back the servants outside the bedroom, fed some fish to Shiwu, sat on the porch to enjoy the shade, and observed the surrounding environment. After her order, no one dared to approach.

After working for a day and a night, the two governments barely got through. On the third day, the Ministry of Rites sent an auspicious day, on September [-]th, Xinyang will be married at the end of the year, and Chu Ran's marriage will be ahead of her.

Chu Ran looked at the date on the bronzing copybook, and said, "Has the prime minister's mansion ever sent it?"

"Send it over, Mr. Shang Shu sent it by himself."

Chu Ran asked someone to take the silver to him, and asked the maid to send him out of the house. The time for the marriage is coming soon, and there are two or three months left, so it's not too urgent.She pinched her hands to count the time, it was different from the dream, in the dream she got married as soon as Jiji, but now it is a few months later.

She wanted to see if the secret passage could lead to the Prime Minister's mansion smoothly, and she wanted to go to the Prime Minister's mansion after dinner.

Unexpectedly, Xinyang came over with grilled mutton for dinner, she likes to eat grilled meat, and everyone in the Princess Mansion listened to her, but they would not refuse her orders, and rushed to prepare meals for her.

With delicious food, it is natural to share it with others.

Chu Ran had no choice but to sit down and eat together. The mutton was roasted very tender, and the gravy was still fragrant when he bit into it.Xinyang felt satisfied after taking two bites. She wrapped the mutton in a pancake and handed it to Chu Ran: "Sister, try it. This is delicious. This is how you eat it in the north."

In the northwest, they like to eat meat with cakes. Xinyang only has food in his head. When it comes to marriage, I just think about eating.

She laughed and said: "After you get married, sister will send you some cooks."

"Really?" Xinyang's action of wrapping mutton paused, his eyes lit up, and he nodded fiercely: "Thank you, sister."

She smiled innocently and romantically, softly, different from Ling Yi's 'innocence', Chu Ran suddenly felt that the contrast between the two of them was the difference in human nature.

Xinyang is soft-hearted, doesn't like to fight, knows how to be grateful, knows how to be content, and Lingyi is a real member of the royal family, she is innocent, she is innocent, does she give up what she fancy to others?

That innocence was just wrapped up by the queen in love, perhaps her innocence was more vicious than King Heng's insidiousness.

Xinyang was still eating mutton. She seemed to be hungry, and she didn't stop after eating a lot. Chu Ran stopped eating when she was half full. She looked at her, wishing to leave quickly.

Xinyang didn't know her urgency, she was very tired last night, so she wanted to eat something delicious to compensate herself.She took a small bite of the mutton, and talked to Chu Ran about daily affairs, and said, "Sister, do you think I can have a princess mansion? If others make me angry, I will go back to the princess mansion and close the door to be happy alone. "

No, no, and Ah Ruan, the two of them are happy together.

Chu Ran responded to her and said, "Hurry up and eat. I have another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. If you want it, I will send it to you."

Xinyan nodded hurriedly and gorged on the meat. When she finished eating, it was almost Haishi.Chu Ran hurriedly drove her away, ordered the maidservant to guard the door, held a lamp, and groped for the way to Xiangfu.

There was a lot of car dust in the underpass. Time was in a hurry and it hadn't been cleaned up. She walked halfway and couldn't see the road under her feet. She almost tripped over, wobbled twice, and hurt her wound. She paused for a moment and wanted to continue walking Suddenly, there was a light in the darkness ahead.

After taking a look, she leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, and Lu Shi lit up the lights in the dark passage, clearly seeing the paleness on Chu Ran's face.

Without saying much, she approached and helped Chu Ran go out first. After arriving in the bedroom, she saw the frowning brows and asked with concern: "Did you touch the wound?"

Just now, she wanted to see how the secret passage was being repaired, but she didn't want Chu Ran to be in it, and she might be caught in the mud.She lowered her eyes to see that Chu Ran's feet were stained with a large amount of mud.

Chu Ran was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, Lu Shi sent someone to call for a doctor, and brought some hot water to wash it.

The doors and windows of the house were wide open, plum blossom cakes were smoked in the censer, and the cool scent of plum blossoms swept away the earthy smell. Chu Ran leaned on the small couch, saw Lu Shi coming, and wanted to ask about the marriage, so painful that he couldn't open his mouth .

If I had known she would not come here, it would cause trouble for others.

Lu Shi didn't understand her thoughts. Seeing her bowing her head without saying a word, her face was pale, and the corners of her lips were also very white, just like the inconspicuous white flowers blooming in a garden. blockbuster coming.

When the doctor came, he only said that the wound was open, so be careful not to touch the water or let the wound worsen.If it gets worse in the summer, there will be more trouble.

After the doctor talked, he left the medicine and left.

Chu Ran lay down for a while, and felt no pain anymore, so she sat up, Lu Shi came over, twisted the clean veil, and said, "Change into clothes, here are the ones you just made."

"How do you know my size?" Chu Ran found it amusing, and Lu Xiang would never be able to figure out his thoughts. It was like a treasure chest, and every time it was opened, there were new things, which were unexpected.

Lu Shi looked calm, and because Chu Ran was there, he asked people to close the doors and windows, and went to get the clothes by himself.A green gauze dress, similar to the one in her palace, but the material is not so thin, and the neckline covers the collarbone, which is quite satisfactory.

Chu Ran didn't understand Lu Shi's thoughts, so he just untied his clothes and changed them. Halfway through the undressing, he found something wrong, and said, "Go out."

"Can you do it yourself? You can't even move your arms." Lu Shi smiled faintly, as if teasing her, and did not leave directly.

When she smiled, Chu Ran felt that she was not serious, and said unwillingly: "You are not serious."

Lu Shi didn't answer, but walked over and reached out to change her dirty clothes. Chu Ran was not willing to push her away: "You, you are not serious." She really didn't know what words to use to describe Lu Shi. The purpose is to take advantage of her.

Lu Shi stood still, "If His Highness doesn't like it, how about calling the maidservant?"

There is no difference between the maidservant and Lu Shi, but the maidservant changed for her so that she would not be too embarrassed.She nodded without thinking, and said, "Call the servant girl in."

"Your Highness, it's better to change it yourself." Lu Shi said, turned and went out.

Chu Ran was very angry, this person was so strange, he changed his face when he said it, it didn't make sense at all, she felt the wound hurt even more when she got angry.

I endured the pain and changed the small clothes with the middle clothes. I didn't want to talk to Lu Shi tonight. This man would bully her back after his eyes recovered.

Lu Shi came in according to the time, bringing chilled cherries and water chestnuts with him.The water chestnut was picked in Xiangfu, it is very fresh, it has not been long since it was picked, after peeling off the shell, it is poured with nectar
