The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

She had forgotten it, and Lu Shi didn't want to ask more questions, so he covered her mouth and signaled her not to wake Xinyang up.

The two understood each other silently, Xinyang turned over on the couch, Chu Ran was so frightened that he immediately hugged Lu Shi by the waist and turned to look at her.

Fortunately, she had not woken up yet. She let out a long breath, but she felt like a thief in her own home. She also felt tired. After getting dressed, the two went out quietly.

The old lady left long ago, and the doctor was waiting next door. There was a bead curtain in the room to block the view. The doctor came from the folk, and he didn't know who was behind the curtain, so he listened to the order to check the pulse.

The room was silent, and after a long time the doctor withdrew his hand with a puzzled face, "The pulse is normal, but it's too normal to make people feel that there is something wrong. If you say that you have been weak recently and you can't detect the pulse, I'm afraid there may be something wrong."

Chu Ran and Lu Shi were silent, and Axiu asked anxiously, "What is the disease?"

"I don't know." The doctor showed guilt.

The haze in Lu Shi's eyes on the side gathered and dispersed, and he was still silent. Axiu glanced at her and didn't dare to speak again. Lu Xiang was probably more anxious than her, and the complexity in his heart must be indescribable.

The doctor left with the medical box on his back, but Lu Shi didn't let him go. After all, what he said was different from the previous doctors, and the leftovers might be useful for other purposes. The prime minister's house is big enough to support him.

Chu Ran looked relaxed, leaning on the small couch, reaching for rose candy to eat, not paying much attention to what the doctor said before, after a creak in the room, Lu Shi came back to his senses, and quietly stared at her weak expression.

"Look at what I'm doing. I haven't seen me for a long time. I haven't changed my appearance again." Chu Ran smiled lightly, pulled Lu Xiang to her side, and then fed her a candy, "Eating ginger candy, I feel how much flower candy is." It's delicious."

With a spicy taste spreading in his mouth, Lu Yi seemed like a lifetime away.Chu Ran knew what she was thinking, moved her head to her lap, felt very comfortable after lying on the pillow, narrowed her eyes and said: "Lu Xiang, you said Heng Wang also drank tea, why don't we remind him, first How about letting him make a fuss and we benefit from it?"

She felt sleepy, and the sugar in her mouth became sweeter after she bit it into pieces. She was so tired that her heart was stuffy, and she couldn't hear Lu Shi's voice. Thinking about it, it's quite tiring. The old lady can't stand your temper, and I'm the only one who doesn't despise you. "

Chu Ran was chattering endlessly, and her temperament had changed from the past. Lu Shi probably guessed what she was thinking, and said, "What's wrong with my temper?"

"It's not good anywhere, and you can't say good things. If you try to coax the old lady like Princess Heng, she won't treat you like this. Although she thinks you're overpowering her, if you can coax her with sweet words, maybe she will." Forget about that." Chu Ran half closed her eyes, the warm atmosphere in the room made people sleepy for no reason, she raised her eyelids and saw Lu Shi with a bad look.

Lu Shi may be thinking deeply and being compassionate, but her heart is also very blocked. After thinking about it, she said: "You think too much. If King Heng is like me, nothing will happen. No matter how cruel your majesty is, he will not Kill me and him. I admit that I am not good, but King Heng is still a filial son in His Majesty's heart, so don't think too much about it. You really can't think about it, why don't you think about how to solve Lu Huaisi's matter, he is reluctant to leave in the city of Yingdu , it's really annoying."

After saying that, she still couldn't hear Lu Shi's voice. She really felt that this woman was very troublesome, and she couldn't do it after coaxing her for so long.She sighed and climbed onto her shoulders, the eyes of the person in front of her were burning, and she couldn't see half of it.

Somehow, she felt Lu Shi's sincere liking, which was deeply rooted, and many times she didn't understand why Lu Shi would like her.

She is scheming and good at using Lu Shi. The power behind her is intricate and not liked by His Majesty. Although she holds the title of a descendant, her position is very embarrassing due to the change of position.

Her temperament is not pleasant, and her popularity is not good. How could Lu Shi like her?

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Xiang had a bright future, and he seemed to have been wronged when he met her.While thinking about it, she looked at Lu Xiang's expression, facing her deep gaze, Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "Lu Xiang, don't you feel wronged?"

Lu Shi stopped holding her hand, and after seeing her hesitant expression, "Your Highness felt very wronged at first, but now you are not wronged?"

Chu Ran once mentioned the difference in age between the two in the letter persuading her to reconcile. Using the four characters of being old and pearly as a metaphor, the tone was quite bad. At that time, she wished she could retire.

Chu Ran seemed to have forgotten that matter, and chose not to mention it, "Grievance, you see, you don't know how to coax people, and you don't know how to take me out to play when Xiu Mu is in the house. There is still a mother who dislikes me all day long in the mansion. After thinking about it, I was the one who was wronged."

After Lu Shi gave her a cold look, he laid her down on his back, and then pressed her down indifferently: "Grievance? So what?"

"Grievance is naturally grievance, it's just that Lu Xiang changed his temper, don't always ignore me on weekdays, you see that you talk like just now, cherish words like gold, and talk more so that others will like you " Chu Ran felt guilty because of her pressure, and after looking away from her, she couldn't help trembling slightly.

Lu Shi's gaze was indifferent, not revealing the mountains or showing water, but it made people feel cramped. It was different from His Majesty's oppression in terms of power, but the majesty in his heart.

She pushed Lu Shi with her hand and began to protest: "I'm a little sleepy, go and see if I have taken my medicine."

"You've already taken the medicine." Lu Shi reminded her.

"Then you go and see the medicine in the afternoon." Chu Ran moved to one side, being careful not to annoy this stingy person.

"It's not yet noon, you're a little impatient."

"You need to be more active in taking the medicine, so as to save your life, Lu Xiang..." Chu Ran paused, and Lu Shi had already moved over. There was no □□ in his eyes, only a faint fire, probably already angry.

She retorted carefully, "Why are you angry? I was just teaching you how to be liked by others. You will be lonely for the rest of your life."

She wanted to refute, but the fire in Lu Shi's eyes deepened, "Your Highness said something wrong, what do other people like to do?"

"You can change your mind, I won't stop you." Chu Ran smiled at Yanyan, pulled her cuff to cover her face, and then wanted to move aside.

After moving a few inches, she was held down by Lu Shi. The fire in her eyes seemed to engulf her. She wrapped her arms around the neck of the person in front of her by mistake, breathed like blue, and whispered in her ear: "Why don't you bully me once, and be angry. You are not in good health, you can see that you have become more and more angry recently."

The Prime Minister’s Mansion has been uneasy these days. The doctors who kept coming in and out could see that the servants were frightened, and Chu Ran was smiling all day long. She just wanted to make Lu Shi more happy, and there was no one who was frightened before the cause was found out.

Lu Shi looked down at the person in his arms, seeing the smile on the corner of her lips, his heart melted the ice and snow for some reason, and said, "I'll try Heng Wang."

She got up and left, in a hurry, Chu Ran called her: "Stop bullying? I'll give you a chance."

Lu Shi ignored her indecency and left without stopping. Chu Ran's smile froze behind her. She also stood up and went back to the princess mansion from the secret passage. She asked Feng Tang to come over.

Feng Tang came sooner, and now that she has an extra layer of relationship with the princess, she is also very attentive in handling things. She holds hot tea, "Why is your highness looking for me?"

"Find an opportunity to reveal the matter of tea to King Heng. If he knows, he will search for a doctor all over the city to remind His Majesty." Chu Ran ordered, she didn't believe that King Heng would sit still and die. In the dream, the prince died strangely. Your Majesty And unwilling to investigate, she had to think about the source.

His Majesty may not have the intention to kill, but after being overly suspicious, he was panicked and had to control her with poison. Maybe King Heng had been poisoned long ago, even the prince.

Before Feng Tang could refute, he nodded and said, "I'm under orders, let's go."

There are people left by the prince in Chu Ran's hands. It is true that Lu Shi transferred Lu Huaisi away before. She blocked Heng Wang's footsteps and prevented him from participating in this matter, and the transfer order was successfully issued step by step.

After Feng Tang left, she stayed in the Princess Mansion for a while, and hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion after meeting a few of the Eastern Palace staff. At that time, Xinyang woke up and was sitting in the flower hall drinking tea.

Xinyang's expression was dull. When she woke up, there was no one around her, and she didn't know where Auntie went. The room was so comfortable that she couldn't even wake up.

After seeing Chu Ran come back, he asked strangely, "Where did you go?"

"Wake up and go out for a walk, you should go back to the house." Chu Ran sat down and rubbed her sore eyebrows, thinking of her situation, she couldn't help worrying about Xinyang, "When you go back to the house, let people pay attention to diet, don't worry." I want to enter the palace again at will.”

Xinyang is curious about what Sister Ah means, is it possible that she should not enter the palace again to meet Ah Ruan?When she was about to refute, Ah Jie suddenly said: "The palace is not safe these days, please wait patiently for a while."

She had a half-knowledge, but thought of Ah Ruan's safety, so she said, "Is Concubine Ming in danger?"

"That's not necessarily the case. It's good that you don't enter the palace. If you have nothing to do, go to the Zhuangzi to find Uncle Ning to have fun. Don't walk around." Chu Ran told her.Ningwang Bieyuan is a good place to eat, drink and have fun, and Xinyang is the most suitable place.

Xinyang didn't think much, nodded and agreed: "Well, I will go in a few days, but Uncle Ning took me to the hot spring last time, saying that there are novelties there, and let me pay for it myself."

Chu Ran was absent-minded, and said: "Then you just go and play, don't just stare at the palace." Seeing that it was late, she asked someone to send Xinyang back to the mansion, and repeatedly told her not to enter the palace at will.

*****

The city of Yingdu seems to be calm, but in fact it has been in chaos for a long time. The war in Xiqiang continues, and the military supplies needed in the northwest continue. The household department is controlled by the Huo family.

There were more than one disputes in Zhang Huatai, and the Ministry of War was nervous about using troops, especially at the border with the Song Dynasty. It was even more energetic because of the mission, and the deployment of reinforcements was all money in the national treasury.

Regardless of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households is holding on to the money and refuses to let it go easily. The hall played: "Compared with previous years, the military resources needed in the Northwest are more than in previous years. If Marquis Changping does not save money, other garrisons will have the same amount." If we follow the example, the national treasury will be short-lived."

The people in the Ministry of War were so angry that they stared at each other for a long time without saying a word. Zhou Wenyi first said: "The present is not what it used to be. How can we compare it? The Northwest has reinforced a lot of troops, and the loss of military supplies is also included in the Northwest?"

"They both belong to the Northwest, so naturally they are counted?"

"Since this is the case, your household department is quite unreasonable. If you reinforce your troops but don't provide supplies, how can you fight a war without eating sand?"

"What Elder Zhou said is unreasonable. This year has only just started, and the Northwest will go to the Northwest to ask for military funds. How can we get it in the long run?"

"You guys will save food, go and try it yourself, and it won't hurt your back when you stand and talk."

You said something to me, and everyone was arguing about it at the court meeting. Emperor Chu never spoke, but Lu Shi remained silent, and the two parties were arguing.King Heng couldn't bear it first, and came out and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that this wind cannot last long."

The sentence was ambiguous, and he didn't know who it was talking about. Lu Shi took the words and asked first: "Who is King Heng referring to?"

Heng Wang recalled the last time he was humiliated, he was ashamed and annoyed, he held the wat board tightly in his hand, and said loudly: "Naturally it is the northwest."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Wenyi said first: "King Heng is squandering, gold is not as good as soil, and now it is wrong to say that the Northwest asked for military rations, and it is not wrong for His Highness to spend money like dirt in the city of Yingdu. As the wind grows, other His Highnesses will follow suit. , isn’t it to spoil the younger brother?”

"What does Mr. Zhou mean? When will this king spend money like dirt?" Heng Wang's eyes were red, and his tall figure stood in front of Zhou Wenyi, ready to punch him at any moment.

The two stood close, and Zhou Wenyi was not afraid, instead he continued: "His Royal Highness's house is full of gold utensils, and you greet and hug each other when you go in and out. The generous gifts you bestow on your officials are even more incalculable. Is this a common gift?"

The conversation suddenly turned around, and it became a matter of King Heng's arrogance. The rest dared not interrupt. Lu Shi watched the change quietly, but the haze in Emperor Chu's eyes grew thicker. Zhou Wenyi was impeached by the court, which was unexpected Not yet.

After the dynasty was dispersed, Emperor Chu specifically left King Heng behind, and no one knew exactly what he had said.

Emperor Chu couldn't get his eyes and ears in, and he couldn't spy on this matter, and he rarely summoned his concubines, so the courtiers had nowhere to use them.

The military funds in the northwest were distributed as usual, and the household department and the Huo family couldn't delay. The officials sighed, but King Heng fell ill. I don't know if it was a real illness or a fake illness, but it was an illness.

There are countless servants in Zhang Huatai, and it is okay to buy one or two if they want to. Therefore, there are not a few people who work for Huo Qi, but he was stopped by a servant after the court was over.

The servant stared at the beautiful jade hanging from his waist, salivating, Huo Qi waved it in his hand, "Why stop me?"

The servant's eyes were greedy, he walked two steps closer, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, Prime Minister Lu asked someone to check the tea room, and I found out about it by chance." Jade will say the following.

The servants serving in Zhanghua Terrace have vicious eyes, and they fancy Huo Qi's jade is very valuable, and the things on Huo Qi's waist are changed every few days, and they don't feel bad, so they just throw it to him: "Quickly say, If it is not worth this jade, I will break your leg."

The servant reached out to catch the jade, touched it in the palm of his hand, and said: "I found that the tea His Royal Highness Heng Wang drank in Zhang Huatai did not come from the tea room, but was brewed by a special person and served."

The tea room is mainly for making tea for His Majesty, and occasionally for those who come to the palace, Huo Qi drinks tea no less than a hundred times, hearing what he said, his heart felt cold, and he hurriedly said to the servant: "Go back, I know gone."

Huo Qi's eager pace satisfied the servant, he turned back to Zhang Huatai after seeing Huo Qiyuan's leaving back, found Feng Tang in the dark, and handed the jade pendant to her.

There was no one else in the dark, so Feng Tang understood how difficult it was for him, so he said: "Keep it to yourself, be careful next time you do things, Mr. Huo paid attention this time, and I will definitely look for you next time, do you know how to speak?"

"I know, I know, thank you, Mr. Feng." The servant was not polite, put Yuxin in his arms, and watched Feng Tang leave.

Huo Qi hurried to Prince Heng's Mansion and invited a doctor to check his pulse that day, news of Prince Heng's illness spread the next day, His Majesty personally sent an imperial doctor to visit him, and the tonics were sent to Prince Heng's Mansion like water.

In contrast, no one knew about Princess Xinping's illness. She talked about marriage with Feng Tang in the mansion, and discussed the auspicious day.

After Axiu reported the news of King Heng's sudden illness, she passed the old calendar in her hand to Feng Tang, "You are an official in the court, so you can choose whichever day is convenient for you." After finishing speaking, she looked at Axiu again: "Your Majesty, can you send an imperial physician?"

"Sent, I went early in the morning, there was an endless stream of people visiting Hengwang's mansion, almost smashing the threshold, it is said that Hengwang did not invite an imperial physician this time, and invited ordinary doctors, and I don't know why. "Axiu said suspiciously, King Heng was afraid of death and wanted to save face, so he always asked the imperial doctor to check his pulse, but this time he actually invited a private doctor, which made people think hard.

Chu Ran didn't explain to her, but waved her hand to signal her to go out and wait, and said to Feng Tang: "King Heng is afraid of death, and he is not afraid of making noise to let His Majesty know, it will be even more dangerous then."

"Huo Qi may be trying to test His Majesty, it's not as simple as it seems on the surface." Chu Ran said, she took the old yellow calendar, with the date on it marked with ink, she smiled and said: "Don't delay Mr. Feng, I will catch people to arrange."

"Hard work, Your Highness." Feng Tang smiled shyly and exited the Princess Mansion.

Chu Ran smiled, never caring about these trivial matters, and only asked people to stare at Princess Heng.

Heng Wang has a bad temper and is used to playing with concubines. I don't know if this Heng Wang Concubine has ever suffered from it. The two look at each other, but it is only superficial.She ordered people to keep an eye on Concubine Heng, if she knew that Prince Heng had been poisoned, she would definitely show her feet.

After the staff retreated, she felt exhausted, so she went back to the couch and lay down for a while, waiting for Prime Minister Lu to come back.

She was lying on the outside, turned over, and suddenly touched something, took it out and found that it was a sachet embroidered a few days ago, and the fragrance inside was very faint.The lotus on the sleeve bag was really out of sight, and she didn't know what to do when she held it in her hand.

In desperation, he grabbed the sachet and fell asleep.

After it got dark, Lu Shi came back according to the time, the time was the same as usual, she would come back earlier in recent days, no matter how many things she had to do, she would put it down, in order to have more conversations with Chu Ran.

Hearing about Heng Wang's illness during the day, he knew that Heng Wang was frightened, so frightened that he couldn't wait to find out the poison on his body.

Chu Ran was still sleeping, the person in the middle of the quilt sank deeply, his face turned paler, and lost the touch of pink, Lu Shi put his hand under the quilt, he wanted to touch her little hand, but didn't want to touch anything.

After taking it out, it turned out to be a sachet, her eyes turned gentle, she smiled slightly, and hung the sachet on the brocade tent, the touch of green added a bit of vitality to the room.

Chu Ran is just the vitality in her heart. Now she doesn't know where she will go without Chu Ran, stay in Yingdu and continue to be busy for a bright future, or choose a place to do nothing and live her life in a daze.

For a while, I didn't know where the direction was.

She leaned over to look at Chu Ran's peaceful sleeping face, her breathing was soft and nasal, and she couldn't help pinching her trembling nose, causing a soft cry.

Chu Ran seemed to be extremely tired. She didn't wake up even after her nose was pinched. Instead, she got under the blanket, was held down by Lu Shi, kissed the corner of her squirming lips, and gently placed her hand on the back of her head.

There was sweetness between the lips and teeth, Chu Ran half-opened his eyes, and bit the corner of the man's lips without hesitation, "To disturb people's dreams, you should bite."

Lu Shi still smiled lightly, the cloud was calm and the wind was light, the hair on the palm of his hand was soft, and it was a little itchy when he rubbed it. After he let go, Chu Ran got under the quilt, "Heng Wang is sick, you have nothing to do, by the way Try one or two."

"Aren't you going? I see that it's still early today, why don't we take advantage of the night to take a look?" Lu Shi took advantage of the situation to pull him up and leaned on himself, "Don't sleep anymore, let's go and have a look together. I heard that Princess Heng He is often bullied and has constant scars on his body.”

Chu Ranfang woke up, and before he could react, he said, "When you bullied me, you also had it on your body."

Lu Shi blushed, embarrassed, and explained, "It's different."

Chu Ran didn't listen to her explanation: "It's different."

"Your Highness should wake up." Lu Shi didn't know how to explain to her, so he just poked her face, "Go to Prince Heng's Mansion, I will change clothes for Your Highness, it's getting late, come back just in time for dinner."

"Then, I have hot pot for dinner, and I want to eat mutton." Chu Ran woke up immediately.

"The doctor said that mutton is contradictory to medicine and should not be eaten." Lu refused directly.

"Then don't go, Lu Xiang can go alone." Chu Ran directly pushed away the hated person. Since she was a child, Lu Xiang has taken care of her, and she is very concerned about her diet. This is even more so these days. A lot of food is not given to her. , The words of contradictory medicinal properties are said almost every day.

The back-and-forth person wanted to lie down again, but Lu Shi stopped him, "It's not good to waste time, put on your clothes quickly, I'll ask Axiu to prepare the car."

"I won't go if I don't serve mutton hot pot."

"I don't want to see how Concubine Heng is being bullied?" Lu Shi held her hand, the warmth in the quilt was probably gone, and it was cold even if she touched it with her hand, she called the maid to change her clothes.

With outsiders around, Chu Ran would definitely not act coquettishly.

When the maid came in with her clothes, Chu Ran sat upright, without squinting, she only glanced at Lu Shi, and then asked curiously: "How did you know, Mrs. Heng, that Princess Heng was being bullied? It might be a concubine in the backyard." .”

"Your Highness, if you want to know, you can go and see for yourself. What I say is not true." Lu Shi went outside to ask someone to prepare the carriage, and he went to change his clothes.

She pretended to be mysterious, which made Chu Ran's heart itch. After asking a few questions, she became more and more curious.

Heng Wang's gentle and virtuous appearance is almost made by himself. Chu Ran also heard about it from the staff of the Eastern Palace. Wang's character.

But the concubine is the royal family, so it's not easy to be casual, and this time King Heng's matter can't be blamed on her, so Lu Xiang can be sure.

After getting into the carriage, Lu Shi sat upright, ignoring Chu Ran's expectant eyes, and he was completely different from the room just now, Chu Ran couldn't help saying: "Prudish."

It was the one who secretly kissed her just now, and now she pretended to be reserved. After scolding her in her heart, she ignored the prudish person and sat by herself.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and a voice shouted outside: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Lu has arrived."

Lu Shi got off the carriage first on the outside, and Princess Heng greeted her with a bit haggard: "Master Lu, the weather is cold, hurry up and enter the residence."

Chu Ran was half a step slower, and Lu Shi rarely reached out to help her get out of the car.

Looking at the white-glazed wrist, Chu Ran was stunned for a moment. When did Lu Xiang show such hospitality when he was outside?
