The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

Xinyang had a simple mind, only for Concubine Ming, Chu Ran would not be fooled after two rounds, so she drove him out of the bedroom directly.

There are not many people in Xiangfu, after Xinyang was kicked out, he felt depressed and asked others to experiment, and Axiu fled in a hurry.

After a fuss, Chu Ran came out after changing clothes. She was dressed in a bright red dress. Xinyang was curious, "Sister, are you going to enter the palace?"

Chu Ran adjusted the steps on the bun, "Go to see the princess, would Xinyang enter the palace?"

Entering the palace is what Xinyang wants to do the most. Where is she willing to refuse, she agrees without thinking, "Naturally."

The two had their own thoughts, and before Xin Yang had time to change into new clothes, he stepped into the carriage entering the palace, excited and longing in his heart, holding Chu Ran's hand and chattering non-stop, "Sister, shall we go see Concubine Ming?"

"It's okay to go and see her. You should have a way to contact her. Contact her yourself. I happen to have a few words to say to her."

Xin Yang agreed without thinking about it, and said: "I can't make an appointment in the East Palace, why don't you go and sit in the garden, okay?"

"Yes." Chu Ran agreed.

Concubine Ming doesn't care much about things, her mind is different from others, she doesn't fight or grab her, which makes His Majesty feel a lot of guilt towards her, and loves her a lot. Although she seldom serves her, she will never lose the dignity that a virtuous concubine should have.

Not only is she free in the palace, but she also has real power. It is not difficult to meet Xinyang.

In the pear orchard, pear blossoms are emerging, and the dots of flowers are blooming on the branches, which makes people fondle admiringly and amiably.

Although Xinyang likes to eat, he puts on a reserved look in the palace, he doesn't even touch the tea casually, and sits in the garden in a proper manner.

Concubine Ming came late and walked in a hurry. After seeing Xinyang, before the joy came to her heart, she saw Chu Ran's deep expression. She said that she slowed down and stepped in slowly.

The palace people in the garden were scattered in the corner, Xinyang resisted his desire to rush over, just looked up at her, and said nothing.

Concubine Ming retreated from the palace people in the garden, and smiled lazily: "The tea in the palace is very good, Princess Xinping can try it."

Xin Yang endured the pain, and immediately picked up the tea to drink after hearing Ming Fei's words, he didn't know what it was like, he just nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's really good."

Chu Ran is really embarrassed to talk about her. After seeing Concubine Ming, she couldn't tell the direction of north, south, south, east, and west. She didn't bother to talk about it now, so she just said: "Xinping has something to ask for the help of Concubine Ming."

"What's the matter?" Concubine Ming reached out and took Xinyang's little hand on the case, ignoring Chu Ran's sideways gaze, there were only three people in the garden, she didn't need to hide, she might as well give Xinyang some comfort.

She took the initiative to reach out her hand, which surprised Xinyang, and immediately returned to hold her hand, with a look of joy that could not be concealed.

Chu Ran acted as if he had never seen it before, and it was not surprising that such a scene was not surprising, and said solemnly: "I want to ask your majesty to intercede with your majesty, and let the queen go out of the middle palace. You don't need to be in power, just give her freedom. "

Concubine Ming hasn't seen Xinyang for many days, and she is worried about her heart. After hearing this sentence, she is not surprised, "His Royal Highness's situation is very difficult, how about some honesty?"

In short, she can agree but requires Chu Ran to give the conditions.

Chu Ran said: "But, it's better for the prince to return to his mother's freedom after he succeeds to the throne. He can go anywhere in the world, even the Xinyang fiefdom."

When mentioning the fiefdom, Xinyang's gray eyes lit up immediately, and he held Concubine Ming's hand instead. After waiting for so many years to say this, she squeezed Concubine Ming's hand, signaling her to agree quickly.

She was impatient, and she was tempted by Chu Ran at the first try. Concubine Ming also hated iron and steel, and sighed: "Xinyang can't wait, and I have no room to refute, but I can try it, just want to know His Highness's backhand , let me get ready too."

Concubine Ming didn't want to be a puppet with a rope. If she hadn't been wary of others, she would have died in the cannibalistic harem long ago.

Chu Ran said: "Since Concubine Ming can intercede, she should think about how to cut off the queen's retreat, and she will understand this in the future."

She refused to say more, but Concubine Ming asked: "If your Highness doesn't say, how can I not worry about being bitten by a snake?"

"If the queen doesn't bite the empress, others won't, and as for me, I won't, Xinyang, are you right?" Chu Ran brought the topic to Xinyang, and seeing the two entangled again, it was really dazzling, helpless Said: "Since the concubine Ming agreed, Xinping will go to the East Palace first, and leave the palace with Xinyang in half an hour."

See no evil, she hurried away.

So exactly what Xinyang meant, she happily kissed the corner of Ah Ruan's lips.

***

The East Palace was as calm as water, and the days without the prince would be without waves. The concubine seemed to look away, and after seeing Chu Ran, she didn't mention those terrible old things, but instead pulled her to talk about the embroidery work.

"I have nothing to do recently to make some small clothes for the child in Ah Nan's womb. What do you think, Your Highness?" The crown princess smiled, forgetting that the princess in front of her didn't know how to embroider.

Chu Ran definitely wouldn't slap her in the face by herself, picked up the clothes and boasted a few words in a decent way, and asked about the affairs in the palace to divert her mind.

The Crown Princess never leaves home in the East Palace, and she dares not to be indifferent to the affairs of the outside world, so she asks people to inquire from time to time, and when she hears some news, she will definitely say: "It's not a big deal, it's the King Heng's disease. It's strange that His Majesty sent an imperial physician to guard, but I don't know what to do. I heard that the queen was in a hurry and wanted to go out of the palace to have a look, but was stopped by His Majesty. I don't know if it's true or not."

These are all hearsay, Chu Ran just pretended not to hear it, and said instead: "The matter of King Heng has nothing to do with the East Palace. Thank you."

"I hope." The princess was in a waning mood, and she was not interested in mentioning the prince. Chu Ran couldn't bring it up any more, so she decided to leave the palace first when the time came.

It depends on what King Heng does to make an agreement with Concubine Ming.

She didn't see Xinyang when she left the East Palace, but she saw Lu Xiang who had been waiting for a long time under the palace wall. After the two glanced at each other hastily, she lowered her head and wanted to go forward.

Lu Xiang followed closely behind, and the distance between the two of them was only one step, either far or close, giving people a feeling of alienation and strangeness.

The distance between the two was kept properly, not too far away, nor too close, the palace people who came and went were not surprised when they saw the two of them like this, bowed their heads and left after a hasty salute.

When walking out of the East Palace, Chu Ran boarded the carriage and waited for Xinyang to come back. Unexpectedly, the Inland Prime Minister also got into the carriage, she glanced coldly and fell asleep.

The inside of the car is not as spacious as the outside, and Lu Shi couldn't bear it, he stretched out his hand to embrace him, his voice was as light as a breeze: "Your Highness is angry?"

"Don't be angry." Chu Ran said lightly, and the affairs of the Lu family are not under the control of Lu Xiang. What she is angry about is only what she concealed.

She was tired, as if she didn't want to say anything, she leaned softly in Lu Xiang's arms, "I'll let Concubine Ming go to intercede with the queen, and then I'll see what King Heng will do, and leave the rest alone. When the prince comes back, count the time, Will be back in a while.”

The crown prince came to write a letter, and he will return in a few days. The mission to the Song Dynasty went very smoothly. After the talk, he will wait for His Majesty to nod, and then he will be able to overwhelm King Heng in the court.

The prince's health is not good, so he is slightly inferior, but now King Heng is also infected with an unknown poison, I'm afraid he is not as good as the prince.

She has been feeling lacklustre these days, and I believe King Heng is the same way, the situation that was difficult to solve in the past, I don't want to be solved by His Majesty.

Lu Shi would not believe Chu Ran's anger. She looked down at the person who was tightly leaning on her in her arms, and sighed: "There is nothing wrong with life."

As long as you don't go back to the princess mansion.

Chu Ran didn't have the heart to guess her thoughts, so she let her hug her for a while, Xinyang came back in time, and before he approached the carriage, he saw Lu Xiang with a condensed expression stepping off the carriage.

She felt that there was something wrong, so she took two steps back, and every time Lu Xiang took a step closer, her heart improved a little. When she clutched her heart and was at a loss, Lu Xiang approached and saluted, and strode away.

Lu Xiang seemed unhappy, had a fight with Sister?

When I couldn't figure it out, I pestered my elder sister to ask. I didn't want my elder sister to keep silent, and she didn't say anything, she was annoyed and helpless.

She was distressed by being kicked out of the prime minister's mansion by her elder sister, and went back to the princess mansion depressed. She felt that being alone was boring, so she went to find Uncle Ning to play.

***

Every few days, King Heng went back to the fief to recuperate, but His Majesty dismissed it.

In a few days, King Heng submitted three memorials asking for his return. His Majesty was annoyed and allowed the queen to go out of the palace to visit.

When the courtiers were surprised, Chu Ran continued to play with his sachet in the mansion.

The night is dark, the candles in the prime minister's mansion are dimly yellow, a touch of warmth in the lonely darkness, she holds the old sachet in her hand, puts it in her nose and sniffs, a flash of dizziness flashes in front of her eyes.

The light in the dark night seemed to be shaking, the sachet in her hand fell to the ground, her head was blurred, she saw the sachet under her feet was dizzy, she stretched out her hand to reach it, and threw her whole body on the ground.

The maidservant in the hallway was startled and overwhelmed with fright, and hurriedly helped her up. Chu Ran, who was pale, was still looking at the sachet.

The dizziness just now seemed to come from the sachet, the sachet was her kiss

Made by hand, there will be no dirty things, and she felt that something was wrong, so she sent someone to find a doctor.

The maid hurriedly found Axiu, and then went to invite the doctor.

His Highness was in a trance, his lips had lost their usual blush, and his eyes were gray. After taking a look, she didn't know what to do, so she could only whisper: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Chu Ran's body was covered in Axiu's shadow, like a wooden sculpture, motionless.

Axiu stretched out her hand to help her rest on the couch, but before she stretched out her hand, she saw a trace of blood dripping from the corner of her lips. She was terrified, before she could say anything, His Highness suddenly fell into her arms unconscious.

There was a panic in the prime minister's mansion.

In Zhanghuatai, Emperor Chu left Prime Minister Lu because of the Qinghe warship incident.

It was just delivered on the Qinghe warship, and before the handover, someone was sent to check that it was safe, but recently someone impeached Wu Jiang for shoddy.

Great Chu has no pressure on land battles, and has no suspense against the enemy Xiqiang. It is only a matter of time. Emperor Chu is very confident in his heart, but when it comes to water battles, his heart is like a drum, and he still cannot be confident. Of.

It was Qinghe who was impeached, and of course King Heng was involved, and he wanted to return to the fief after the memorial, which made people have to doubt his intentions.

Emperor Chu firmly believed that Lu Shi was better than others because of her appropriate strategies every time, and she never formed a party for personal gain, which made people feel more at ease.

With anxious eyes, she stared at the anonymous impeachment letter and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not easy to investigate this matter. It's hard to explain the warship issue. Furthermore, there is no evidence, so it's hard to convince the public with just one letter."

These words are just to appease Emperor Chu's heart. What is the real situation? In fact, no evidence is needed. Your Majesty does not need evidence to act. It is like suspecting that Chu Ran has a close relationship with the Lian family. He can poison Chu Ran without evidence. Control, and now he has lost confidence in Heng Wang even more.

Lu Shi's words were adding fuel to the fire, and he knew His Majesty's suspicions well. On the contrary, it made him suspect that King Heng had some evil intentions in the middle.

Emperor Chu looked up at her anxious look, immersed in the words on the anonymous letter, he knocked on the table, and said: "Let someone investigate, Wu Jiang has committed a serious crime by doing so, I really can't bear this tone."

"Your Majesty is wise." Lu Shi agreed.

Emperor Chu said again: "Who should we send to investigate?"

"This matter is difficult, and it is difficult for ordinary people to do it, and I don't know it."

Lu Shi didn't want to recommend him, so he picked himself up. Emperor Chu trusted her more and more, and said, "Go back and think carefully about who is suitable. I will give you three days, and then come and tell me clearly. It's not too early. Go home and rest."

It was late, the palace gate was about to be locked, Lu Shi didn't dare to delay, and hurried out of the palace by car.

After returning to the mansion, it was past Haishi, Chu Ran was lazily leaning on the couch, holding the soup in his hand, seeing her returning in a hurry, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness asked someone to write an anonymous letter to His Majesty to report the warship incident?" Lu Shi saw that her expression was very bad, so he had to swallow the words, "Your Highness is too hasty, it will only backfire."

"How can it be counterproductive? King Heng's return to the fiefdom will make His Majesty suspicious. Wouldn't it be better? It will be counterproductive. Your Majesty never reveals his thoughts, even if he is dissatisfied with King Heng, he will not show it on his face. Why don't you take advantage of him?" What's wrong with doing things with such a suspicious temper?"

Chu Ran knew what she was thinking, but she couldn't wait any longer, and softened her tone, "I have a sense of proportion, and I won't make it difficult for Lu Xiang to do things. Your Majesty was already suspicious, but now it's just a little bit more. Besides, King Heng The relationship with Wu Jiang is already unclear."

She spoke softly, no matter how hard it was to torture Lu Shi, she could only softly say: "I said that I shouldn't get involved in these things, why is it so disobedient?"

"The prince is coming back." Chu Ran couldn't hide her smile. The mist on the medicinal soup was dense on her eyebrows and eyes, and she was confused. After taking a sip, she frowned: "It's so bitter, Lu Xiang will try it?"

"This isn't soup, why should I try it?" Lu Shi's heart suddenly softened, he leaned over and sat on the edge of the couch, took the medicinal soup in her hand, blew it lightly, and fed it to her with a spoonful. He said again: "Your Highness is indeed very measured in doing things, His Majesty became suspicious but did not say anything."

"Well, it's like suspecting that I intend to send a lot of money to Lian's family. Without evidence, I will feel uneasy."

Lu Shi fed it with his own hands, and Chu Ran stopped complaining, and obediently finished the decoction. The bitterness of the last bite made her frown, and when she kissed Lu when she was not paying attention, she passed the medicine in her mouth to her with the tip of her tongue.

"We have to be together in suffering." Chu Ran smiled comfortably, and after teasing Lu Yi, he pushed her away, without seeing the old obsession.

Lu Shi was too miserable to speak, and just glanced at her: "Your Highness is messing around."

"That's what you indulged, and Lu Xiang can regret it if he wants to." Chu Ran's eyes were dyed with the warm yellow of candlelight, shining brightly, which made people feel warm when they saw it.

Lu Shi was inside the house, so the maid naturally didn't dare to enter, Axiu was guarding outside, several times she wanted to go inside the house to clarify the matter, but she stopped after hearing His Highness's laughter.

Chu Ran was not sleepy, but after seeing Lu Shi, he felt better. Lu Shi had nothing to say, and finally pushed her to fall asleep first.

"Lu Xiang, the prince is coming back."

"It's nothing to do with Yu Chen." Lu Yi seemed displeased, she managed to teach him to be obedient, but now it's getting worse, she is so helpless that she doesn't know what to do.

She stared at Chu Ran: "Your Highness seems very happy today?"

Chu Ran realized the meaning of her words, covered her head with the quilt, and pretended to be a tortoise: "It's late, I'll go to bed first, Lu Xiang is free."
