The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

The moment the water submerged the top of the head, darkness hit Chu Ran like a wave.

The blackness turned into scarlet lights again, the red lanterns at the door were as bright as stars, swaying in the cold wind.

The night is still hard to hide the magnificence and joy of the mansion, the carved jade building, the guests leave the mansion one after another, drunk and supported by the servants.

Today is Prime Minister Lu Shi's wedding, she and Princess Xinping are sitting side by side on the couch.Lu Xiang was as cold as ice, and Chu Ran was still the same. Both of them seemed to be dissatisfied with the marriage. After Xi Niang and the maid hurriedly retreated, Lu Shi also left, leaving the new house to Chu Ran.

Chu Ran's face gradually softened. She ordered the maid to come and remove the emeralds on her bun. Her skin was white and tender, slightly transparent under the bright lights. She ordered: "This is the Lu family, please pay attention."

She is still dissatisfied with this marriage, but it was decided by the queen first, and she can't change it, she can only accept her fate.

There are no elders in the Lu residence, so the two of them don't need to offer tea the next day, they only need to thank the emperor three days later.

On the day they entered the palace, the two looked very close, and ran into Prince Chu Ying outside the Tai Chi Hall. He greeted the two with a smile on his face: "Gu congratulations, Sister Lu and Prime Minister Lu. May you two be of one heart and one mind."

Lu Shi returned the gift, and Chu Ran pulled him and said a few words, all of which he told him to take good care of his health and marry the princess into the palace as soon as possible.The siblings are very close, the corners of Lu Shi's lips are curved, and Xiao Yurun's silent smile is so shallow that the siblings never saw it.

The red faded, and it was pitch black again, and Chu Ran regained the light in the darkness.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard were withered, and the rotten smell spread in the air. She took a deep breath, her chest and heart were full of pain, she turned around and saw Lu Shi who was walking slowly, and coughed lightly: "Send He Lishu to Lu Shi." Mansion, what else is there for Prime Minister Lu?"

Lu Shi's expression remained the same, neither sad nor happy, and said lightly: "Why did the princess reconcile?"

"There was no love in my marriage with you, but it was just to help my younger brother. Now that he is gone, the crown prince has long been replaced, and the role of you as a chess piece is gone. Lu Xiang is still young, with a bright future, and a bright future. Zhi, how can Xinping delay you, it is better to reconcile and leave, Lu's house will clean the courtyard, and Lu Xiang will marry a new man again."

The voice was as cold and thin as water, and Chu Ran in the air was shocked. At this time, Heli was seeking his own death. She didn't understand why he did this?

Lu Shi's eyes changed slightly, her hands in her sleeves were already clenched, she said helplessly: "A Ran, you are ruthless to me, I already knew it, but I can protect you for the rest of your life, as long as I am the prime minister for a day, you will live One day, if you step out of the city gate of Yingdu, I will not be able to protect you."

"What Lu Xiang said is really a joke. I am the first princess born after the queen. When will I need the protection of the prime minister? Besides, my foreign patriarch, Pinghou, has been guarding the border all year round. He has the military power. Why should I rely on others to live? Lu Xiang thinks highly of himself .”

Lu Shi paused as he slowly approached, looked at the back a few steps away, and finally showed some pity on his face, "Aran, how about getting along with each other?"

"Lu Que is really ridiculous. Could it be that you are used to being used as a chess piece, and you are so cheeky?"

Lu Shi's expression changed slightly, and his bright eyes were finally dimmed. After a long silence, he turned and left. The stubborn figure remained unchanged. After a long time, he coughed suddenly, his face pale as snow.

In the picture, Chu Ran actually chooses to make peace with Lu Shi. Once the prince dies, she will have nothing to rely on. How can the Marquis of Changping protect her when he is far away at the border.

The sound of coughing irritated her ears, and Chu Ran suddenly felt the pain in her lungs, and taking a few deep breaths did not relieve the pain, and she could hardly open her eyes from the pain.

When she opened her eyes again, she realized that she was in Xinping's palace, which was her fief, far away from Yingdu.

There was still Chu Ran there, her eyes were dull, her face was haggard, holding a letter in her hand, she walked over to look at each other and stepped on it, only to realize that it was sent by Lu Shi, and the words in the letter were all faint concerns.

After a while, the letter was thrown into the brazier and burned.

Chu Ran pursed her lips and smiled lightly. She picked up the glass of wine in front of her and raised her head to drink it up. Her face was like jade and her beauty was moving. The emaciation just now seemed to be a hallucination. lying on.

It looked like she was drunk, Chu Ran in the void suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen, her heart was almost broken, her eyes were the same as that of the person on the couch, she touched the quilt under her body, and the smell of blood suddenly filled her mouth.

She suddenly realized that the glass of wine just now was poisonous wine, bursts of despair welled up in her heart, is she going to die?Why does the person in the dream drink alcohol, she will have this feeling.

Could it be that the person in the dream is her future self, and the consciousness in her mind fades little by little, as if time is passing by at the fingertips, this feeling is too real, and the dream shows the future self?

She clenched her teeth in pain, and Lu Shi's face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She hugged her in panic, her cold fingertips brushed the corners of her lips, and her desperate eyes showed her state of mind.

Before he could ask a question, the pain disappeared.

At this moment, she understood that someone as cold as Lu Shi would also like her, and maybe she shouldn't use her.

After the consciousness dissipated, they gathered again at some point, and there were more voices in their ears: "Prince Lu, the prince's high fever should be due to the wind and cold. After the fever subsides, just take a few medicines."

Lu Shi sat safely in the wheelchair, still holding a cup of tea in his hand, and after he became blind, he thought that he would feel at ease with something in his hand.Therefore, she will hold tea when she has nothing to do.

The doctor retreated under the guidance of the maid, and the room was peaceful.

Lu Shi got out of the wheelchair, sat down on the edge of the couch with his keen senses, heard Chu Ran's light breathing to identify her direction, and slowly reached out his hand to touch her face.

After the subordinate rescued him from the water, he sent him here, and the captured men in black were also escorted here. It was rumored outside that something happened to the prince, and the emperor must have known about it.

This was the case in the previous life. However, Chu Ran was rescued by the people. She dragged her sick body and hurried back to the camp. She didn't want to be bitten by King Heng, saying that she fell into the water carelessly because of negligence. The assassin said she was looking for it. Excuse.

Indeed, after Chu Ran fell into the water, the soldiers were eager to find her, and they didn't think about catching the assassin, which gave King Heng a chance.

No one knows who sent the assassin, but now she has people ambush there in advance, and then rescues Chu Ran after she falls into the water, taking advantage of the opportunity to take down the assassin, and let people send the news back to Yingdu: the prince has encountered an accident.

In this way, we are waiting for the action of the queen and others.

Lu Shi's hands stopped in mid-air, somehow remembering how Chu Ran hated her in the previous life, he couldn't put his hands down no matter what, he paused for a long time and finally took them back.

Xu was infected with the wind and cold and his nose was blocked, Chu Ran's breathing was heavy, Lu Shi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and when he was bitter in his heart, he unconsciously stretched out his hand.

The hand just rested above the corner of Chu Ran's lips, and the warm breath hit the palm.Sensing the scorching breath, she let out a long breath.

Lu Shi withdrew his hand as usual, and there were hurried footsteps in his ears, and it was time when the maid came to deliver the medicine soup.She stood up, walked back to her wheelchair, and when she reached out to hold some tea, the maid opened the bamboo curtain and walked in.

She saw that Lu Shi was still sitting in the wheelchair, his posture hadn't moved, he was still holding a cup of tea in his hand, and first put the hot medicinal soup on the side table.

The muffled sound of the porcelain bowl hitting the wooden table made Lu Shi's eyelashes tremble, and the maid said softly, "I'll bring you a cup of hot tea, the medicinal soup is still a little hot, let it dry here, be careful On the table next to you."

Lu Shi nodded slightly. After the maidservant's footsteps disappeared, she reached out to fumble for the porcelain bowl containing the medicinal soup. In the darkness, she reached out her hand very carefully, and stretched out her hand from the cuff inch by inch, touching the bottom first. A few, move the index finger forward slightly.

After a short while, she touched the hot porcelain bowl. After touching it with her index finger, she didn't let go. She picked it up carefully.The scalding heat rushed to his cheeks, and after holding the bowl in his right hand, he touched the wooden spoon with his left hand.

Surrounded by silence, she gently stirred the concoction with a wooden spoon to release the heat. Thinking that the maid would return soon, she might still be very hot, so she blew lightly.

In this way, the heat dissipated faster, and Lu Shi could almost feel the soup getting colder. Her expression finally became turbulent, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.

After a while, the servant girl's footsteps sounded again, and she carefully put the bowl back on the table, and then there was an extra cup of tea in her hand, which was warmer than the concoction just now, just enough to drink.

The maid fed the medicine to Chu Ran, tried several times to no avail, and wondered; "Lu Xiang, she doesn't seem to want to drink it."

"People will have some resistance when they are sick." Lu Shi said lightly.

When the maid was at a loss, Lu Shi got up and walked over. Her steps were a little flustered, not as stable as before, which made her look like a blind person.Seeing her coming, the maid helped her up and made her sit on the edge of the couch.

At this time, there were more maidservants, and the voice was a little more noisy than before. She reached out and touched Chu Ran's arm, and helped her up.

The maid frowned slightly, and felt relieved when she remembered that this 'Prince' was Princess Xinping pretending to be. She raised her eyes and saw Lu Xiang carefully holding Princess Xinping's waist and putting his hands on her waist. careful.

Lu Xiang was blind. On weekdays, he usually sat on the porch drinking tea by himself, or had someone read poems to her. His every move was extremely calm, and he could not tell that he was blind at all.Just now her movements were too different from those in the past, she was a little nervous, really like a blind person.

When she was distracted, Lu Shi had already helped her up, and hot breath sprayed from her ear, she was stunned by the heat, and raised her hand to touch Chu Ran's forehead, feeling hot.

Seeing her move, the servant girl explained: "The doctor said that His Highness is in good health, and after drinking a few doses of medicine, the fever will be reduced."

Lu Yi was silent, still as cold as frost.

When the maid was feeding the medicine, Chu Ran began to swallow. After feeding half a bowl, Lu Shi put him down and walked back to the wheelchair.

At this time, the staff came to report the matter, but did not enter through the screen, and said: "Mr. Lu, those assassins have been restrained, can they be sent back to Yingdu as usual?"

Lu Shi said: "Keep it, don't let them commit suicide, and keep the news that the prince is here, even if the outside world is turned upside down, don't worry about it."

The staff responded, and said again: "Do you want to interrogate one or two?"

Lu Shi vetoed: "It's not necessary, just tie it up like this, and keep alive. Physical evidence is not of much use if a person is dead."

The emperor is so suspicious, if the testimony is there, it is useless even if the person is dead. He has always been afraid of the military power of the Marquis of Changping behind the crown prince. He has been thinking about regaining the military power over the years. After repeated failures, the fear in his heart has become more and more serious up.

Unless the Prince died and Marquis Chang Ping lost his support, maybe he would be a little relieved.In the previous life, when the crown prince died, he immediately conferred the title of Prince Heng as the crown prince.King Heng is obedient, and has never disobeyed him in these years. On the contrary, the crown prince and his political views are at odds, and there have been several disputes in the court, not to mention his favor.

The emperor advocated taking back the military power in the hands of the generals, but in a powerful country like Chu, there were many wars at the border, and there were constant raids. It would be impossible to take back the military power.If the military power in the hands of Marquis Changping is taken back, who will guard one side?

Over time, it will eventually become a chronic illness.

The emperor didn't understand these things, but he only knew that tens of thousands of soldiers were in the hands of his subordinates, so he was restless day and night, paranoia arose in his heart, and he became more and more dissatisfied with the prince.In addition, the prince is already weak, and he will not enjoy the life of ordinary people without the emperor's hands. He just pities Princess Xinping.

The heirs of the first queen are the thorns in the eyes of the new queen, and the couple have the same idea.

Lu Shi's mind, even his staff, couldn't guess it. Before, he gave the troubled bandits to the emperor as a gift, so why didn't he send them this time?

The staff suppressed the doubts in their hearts, did not dare to ask more questions, saluted and retreated.

The weather was bad, and it was dark in Shenshi. The assassin was locked here, separated from Lu Shi by a courtyard wall, so it was difficult to be found. Xiao Ming and others went down the river to find someone, and even rowed to find him.

After several days of busy work, he still couldn't find the crown prince, so he panicked. If something happened to the crown prince, how would these followers report to His Majesty.

Chu Ran, who had also slept for a few days, woke up at midnight, the high fever had subsided, the maid happily went to call the doctor, and Lu Shi was holding a scroll of forward-looking bamboo slips in her hand.She couldn't see the words on the paper, so she touched the uneven bamboo slips to pass the time.

When Chu Ran woke up, there was another person in her eyes. She was a little dizzy, and after half-supporting her body, she lay down again, and fell asleep again.

Lu Shi's slender fingertips rubbed back and forth on the bamboo slips uneasily. She didn't hear Chu Ran's voice, and finally frowned, "Your Highness is awake?"

Where could Chu Ran hear it? Only the voice of the servant girl responded to Chu Ran: "Doctor, the young master is awake, please go faster."

Lu Shi held his breath, and the heavy footsteps disrupted the silence in the room, and she couldn't hear anything.When the maid approached, seeing Chu Ran's eyes closed, she said disappointedly, "She fell asleep again."

Lu Shi frowned even tighter, and pursed his lips in silence.

The doctor went to check the pulse as usual, and the room was so quiet that it seemed like half a lifetime had passed, making people wait very hard.He checked the pulse and said: "It's okay, the young master must be too tired, just take a nap and it will be fine."

Lu Shi said: "She fell into the water, which will cause serious harm to her health. How should I take care of her in the future?"

"It's medicine that is three-point poisonous. You will be blessed after a catastrophe. You don't need to take medicine, just prescribe some nourishing food." The doctor said.

Lu Shi was relieved now, and ordered the maid to send the doctor out.

When the servant girl returned to the house, seeing that it was late, she kindly persuaded her: "Your Highness is fine, why don't you go to rest earlier, it won't be good if you burn yourself out."

"It's okay, I've slept in during the day, if you're tired, find another person to watch over you." Lu Shi refused.

Lu Shi sat quietly in the house all day, maybe she was used to this kind of loneliness, the maid who had been with her for many years couldn't bear her suffering like this, so she gritted her teeth and said boldly: "But it's useless for you to guard here, why don't you come back tomorrow morning. "

Hearing the sound, Lu Shi's expression changed slightly. The maid was reminding her that she couldn't help much here, and would only ruin her body.Blind people, even if they act like ordinary people, their eyes are still pitch black, and they can't tell the direction.

Lu Shi pondered for a long time, feeling sore in his heart, quietly pinching one end of the bamboo slip with his fingertips, as if he was thinking or struggling, and finally nodded in response: "Yes, Your Highness woke up and told me."
