The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

It was still cold in the early spring, Princess Heng was wearing the red jacket she wore last year, her face was slightly thicker with makeup, she looked delicate and soft, she invited the two of them in, holding a stove in her hand in the cold night, "The doctor said, Your Highness The illness suddenly occurred, and I didn’t know what it was for a while.”

Lu Shi's hand had been withdrawn from Chu Ran's wrist, and the two walked side by side. Chu Ran's thoughts were on Princess Heng, and his eyes fell on the makeup on her face, secretly suspicious in his heart.

Concubine Heng is different from the concubine. She comes from a great family, and her mother's family is powerful behind her. King Heng should treat her kindly. How could she do those inhumane things?

She was looking at her from this side, Lu Xiang asked about Heng Wang's condition, Heng Wang concubine faltered, she couldn't find out, the doctors in Ying capital city were not skilled in medicine, and she had ordered people to go to other places to look for it.

"Not even the imperial doctor?" Lu Shi tentatively asked.

Concubine Heng smiled bitterly, how dare you use the imperial physician, now that the trouble is like this, even if the imperial physician can solve it, Heng Wang will not believe it, she shook her head and said: "The imperial physicians are all for fame, not as good as the folk doctors, and uncle It has been searched by people, and it will return to the city in a few days."

The decorations in Prince Heng's mansion are simple and elegant. Since he was impeached by Zhou Wenyi that day, all the decorations in the mansion have been replaced, striving for simplicity, and even Princess Heng's clothing costs have been reduced a lot.

Even so, the layout of the mansion is hard to change the extravagant style. Chu Ran looked at the rockery and pavilions, secretly marveling in his heart, and walked for a quarter of an hour before arriving at King Heng's courtyard.

Concubine Heng's smile faded a lot. She just pretended that she was covering it up so that no one would pay attention. In fact, Chu Ran had already seen the strangeness, and the high-collared skirt was afraid of covering up the unsightly traces.

Heng Wang's courtyard is independent, and he is not with Princess Heng. After Lu Xiang and Chu Ran were introduced, Princess Heng asked people to remove the screen in front of the couch.

I don't know if it's really sick or because he was frightened, Heng Wang's complexion is extremely bad, seeing Chu Ran, he didn't show his previous expression, but changed his usual color, and said humbly: "I don't want you to come here in person, Xinping should feel very sad now. satisfy."

There was disappointment in the words, fearing that she was disheartened, Princess Heng's face turned pale as soon as the words came out, and she was a little permeable under the candlelight.

"Brother Hengwang is saying defeat now. I'm afraid it's too early. Besides, the matter of the tea needs to be investigated. It's better for Brother Hengwang to recuperate at ease." Chu Ran was not afraid. Covering it in his hands, he sat on the couch calmly, looking straight into Heng Wang's gray eyes.

Father, father and son, monarch and minister, have long been unable to tell which is the priority, His Majesty's heart is unprecedented, she laughs at Hengwang's fear of death, and also laughs at the crown prince's prudence and self-defense.

Now I am afraid that only the prince has not drunk tea.

Heng Wang leaned against the pillow, with a sneer on his lips, "Heal with peace of mind? It's better to be a puppet to live longer."

"Then just be a puppet. Whether you are a king or a father or a father, it is not as good as ordinary people." Chu Ran's eyes were as clear as snow, coldly reflecting Heng Wang's slightly sarcastic look, she would not tell Heng Wang, she Also often drink tea.

Lu Xiang was silent on the side, as if he didn't know what the brother and sister were talking about, he just looked down at the teacup and saw that there was no green tea. After a while, King Heng looked at her: "Lu Xiang is now a prince's party, and it is very deep."

"Your Highness is wrong, I have been loyal to His Majesty from the beginning to the end." She replied lightly to King Heng, there is nothing wrong with supporting anyone, it's just luck.

Concubine Heng was afraid to speak because she was afraid of offending King Heng, who would be unhappy if offended. She was dull and silent, but Chu Ran looked at her carelessly: "Sister-in-law seems to have lost a lot of weight, but have you been tired recently?"

"Maybe it is." Princess Heng said perfunctorily, not daring to say too much, lest the shrewd Lu Xiang see the fault.

From the beginning to the end, Lu Shi never looked at her.

King Heng was unhappy, depressed and slowly relieved, feeling inferior to Xinping, he gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Xiang: "Does Lu Xiang know why His Majesty cares about the Lian family boy?"

Lu Shi was not surprised by what he said, and said flatly: "I am all ears."

"Second Master Lu secretly reported that His Majesty brought gold and silver in the New Year ceremony." The smile on the corner of King Heng's mouth suddenly became deep, and Chu Ran's face changed suddenly in his eyes. He continued: "If he doesn't say it, how can His Majesty care about it, and even let people know?" Secretly monitoring Xinping's every move is precisely because the gold and silver made His Majesty feel that the Northwest is disloyal, and intends to suppress the Northwest Army's salary."

Chu Ran pursed her thin lips and said nothing.

But Lu Shi said: "Lu Huaisi's work is just to please His Highness, it's not worth mentioning."

"He's not flattering me, maybe he can't help it." Heng Wang laughed. He knew that Lu Huaisi's thoughts were not about merit or court, and he said again: "Lu Xiang's posture is enough to make people fascinated, and Lu Erye and Lu Xiang It is only human nature to never forget the acquaintance before."

What he said was normal, but Chu Ran was disgusted, and the hand holding the teacup was trembling, and he was silent for a long time in the eyes of Hengwang making fun of you, "I have my own concerns about this matter, and I will talk about Brother Hengwang's future."

"Simple, Xinping has a way to make the queen stay in the central palace for a long time, and I believe you have the ability to make the queen come out." Heng Wang said.

He is bound to win, relying on Chu Ran's distaste for Lu Huaisi, he will definitely agree. The situation in the palace is calm and almost out of his control. Only by letting the queen leave the palace can the immediate predicament be eased.

Chu Ran frowned. She was unable to agree. After all, the queen was trapped in the palace because of the concubine Ming. How can the situation be destroyed by a small person.

She said frankly: "It's not worth it for a small person."

Heng Wang was quiet, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Isn't Xinping thinking about the Lian family?"

"I don't want to, I have my own way to deal with Lu Huaisi, brother Heng Wang forgot Zhou Minzhi?" Chu Ran's words were loose.

"Zhou Minzhi?" King Heng really couldn't remember it. After touching the smile in Chu Ran's eyes, he was startled. When I was young, I threw people into the ice cave in the cold winter months, and died of depression after returning home.

His Majesty didn't care how he died, and no one else dared to ask. King Heng didn't remember Zhou Minzhi's name suddenly today.

Thinking about it carefully, Xinping does have many ways to make Lu Huaisi disappear, and with the help of Lu Xiang, he is not afraid.He miscalculated for a while, and immediately regretted it, and then said to Lu Xiang: "Lu Xianghui will agree? Mrs. Lu is the favorite of Lu Erye, and if Lu Huaisi is killed, the old lady may not be able to enjoy her old age peacefully."

Chu Ran took over the words: "Brother Hengwang thinks too much. This matter has nothing to do with Lu Xiang. I am a golden branch and a jade leaf. Am I afraid of an old woman?"

Lu Xiang was silent, as if acquiescing to her words.

King Heng had no results, so he could only ask: "What do you want to do so that the queen can leave the palace?"

"It's very simple. Brother Hengwang will return to the fief, and I will agree to it." Chu Ran smiled lightly, her eyes as indifferent as Lu Shi, and her posture was very similar, which made Hengwang jealous for a while.

He was reluctant to part with the power in the city of Yingdu, but now that he thought about it, he had made His Majesty suspicious, and it was useless to stay, so he might as well use this to avoid His Majesty's surveillance, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I promise you."

"Brother Heng Wang is generous." Chu Ran put down the teacup and clapped his hands, without leaving the corner of his eye for Chu Ran, he said decisively: "I will try my best to do it, Brother Heng Wang, please go to the fief, and I will let people go Give it a try, don't let the chicken fly the egg."

Lu Xiang got up after him, and then his eyes swept over the trembling and startled Princess Heng. She didn't expect that the princess's temperament changed drastically in a few days. After she sighed slightly, Chu Ran had strode away.

Concubine Heng sent the two of them out of the mansion, Chu Ran walked to the carriage and paused, and waited for Lu Shi to come over and said: "Lu Xiang gets in the carriage first."

She was modest, and Lu Shi didn't refuse, he supported her hand and boarded the carriage, the intimacy between the two remained the same, it seemed that nothing unpleasant happened just now.

Concubine Heng pursed the corners of her lips, envious in her heart, and watched the two of them leave lightly, feeling tired after returning, and ordered: "Let the side concubine go to serve His Highness, and I won't go if I don't feel well.

There were scars of torture under her clothes. It would be better for King Heng to be poisoned to death than to be tortured.

****

The two people in the carriage were silent. Lu Shi looked at Chu Ran's solemn expression, the corners of his lips moved, and he didn't speak again. The revelation of Lu Huaisi's matter was caused by her negligence. If it wasn't for this, His Majesty would not have doubted To control with poison.

In the previous life, His Highness was contaminated with government affairs, and His Majesty never suspected it. Now, Lu Huaisi's selfishness caused His Highness to suffer a lot. After thinking about it, it was all her fault.

Chu Ran thought differently. He was thinking about how to let the Ming Dynasty let go of the situation. The concubine Ming had a deep temper. No flaws.

It is impossible not to do what you promised King Heng, now take this opportunity to drive people to the fiefdom, and take the opportunity to replace His Majesty when the prince comes back, then nothing will go wrong.

She really didn't know Concubine Ming's temperament, maybe she could only get a chance from Xin Yang, after a rough thought, she calmed down, there is no use in being impatient, it is better to quietly wait for King Heng's next move.

After making a fuss with Heng Wang, she felt very tired, and there was nothing else in the carriage to rest temporarily. After looking around, she chose to lean on Lu Xiang's shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes.

When Lu Shi was leaned back by her, his heart suddenly softened, and he stretched out his arms to embrace her: "Your Highness is angry?"

No one responded in the dimly lit carriage, only Chu Ran's even and regular breathing was heard, and Lu Shi felt a rare uneasiness in his heart. She didn't answer, so she stopped asking.

After returning home, Chu Ran hurriedly ate half a bowl of rice, and then went back to the couch to rest. Lu Shi wanted to coax her, but the staff was eager to see her, so she had to put her down first.

Where did Chu Ran think so much? After getting on the bed, she saw the sachet hanging in the air. Ugly things are always visible at a glance. She raised her hand and patted the sachet shaking, feeling a little disappointed and bitter in her heart , she didn't want to think about it, she was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open.

After falling asleep, she didn't even know when Lu Shi would come back. When she opened her eyes, it was noon. She rubbed the back of her neck, and Xinyang came from the outside. , Try Yuanzi, I wrapped it deliciously."

Chu Ranfang struggled to make it, and one was stuffed into her mouth. After biting, the sesame and honey filling flowed out, so sweet that she spit it out again: "You put too much honey, it's swollen. "

"Then you try this." Seeing her vomit it out, Xinyang hurriedly fed the red balls again, "Sister, this is the powder made from snow glutinous rice, the color is really pretty.

Chu Ran didn't dare to bite anymore, and after a few bites in his mouth, he bit it open gently. Suddenly, the sour taste filled his mouth, the sour taste rushed to his head, and tears flowed, "What did you put?"

"Sour plum meat, Ah Ruan likes to eat sour plums, so I just want to see if it tastes good in dumplings."

"Then what are you feeding me?"

"Sister, try it first, if it doesn't work, do it again!"

Chu Ran: "..." She was an experimenter?
