The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

Chu Ran wants to get the money, so don't bother with the rest. Lu Shi is cautious and doesn't need her to worry about it.

Half a month later, the hot spring hall changed hands, and Lu Shi destroyed all the tapped furnishings in the hall before delivery, leaving no traces.

King Ning is rich in fiefdom and loves to play, so he doesn't care about the money, just have fun by himself.

At the beginning of September, when Liancheng got married, Chu Ran thought about giving him the IOU as a wedding gift.

After receiving the box containing the IOU, Liancheng's face turned green. He didn't remember that he had borrowed money from His Highness. When he wanted to ask for clarification, his mother tore up the IOU and said calmly, "I borrowed it. I asked you to pay it back, I didn't expect His Highness to give it to you as a gift, but it's okay, then I will stay a little longer."

Liancheng: "..."

On the night of the wedding, Lu Shi was left at Zhang Huatai, and His Majesty fell into a coma after repeated illnesses.

Your Majesty has been taking the elixir for a long time, and his body has been hollowed out long ago, and his serious illness is hard to heal.

Chu Ran didn't know what happened in the palace, and after being drunk by Liancheng, he returned home drunk. It wasn't until he woke up the next day that he realized that Lu Shi hadn't returned all night, and he didn't even send a letter back.

He ordered people to go to the palace to spread the word, and the East Palace sent the news: the emperor's grandson has returned.

Chu Ran calmed down a bit, and Lu Shi would not break his promise. It must be for this reason that he stayed in the palace last night. It seems that His Majesty is already seriously ill.

I should have gone to the palace to find out, but her every move is in the eyes of outsiders, if she enters the palace recklessly, there will be troubles, and it will attract suspicion from others, which will ruin Lu Shi's affairs.

She endured it, and asked someone to invite Xinyang to enjoy the chrysanthemums and eat barbecue.

In autumn, the sky is high and the air is cool, and a grill for barbecue is set up in the gazebo. There are various chrysanthemums beside the pavilion, and the colors are pleasing.

Ink chrysanthemums are rare, Xinyang picked some and wanted to go back to make chrysanthemum wine to drink, the maidservant who served the flowers and plants could not see her eyelids jumping.

Chu Ran didn't seem to have seen it, and let Xinyang pick it. Finally, seeing that she couldn't look away, she said, "If you like it, you can take it back."

"No need, I will pick them off when I go back, which is a pity." Xinyang shook his head and wrapped the picked petals in a handkerchief.

The meat on the rack has been roasted and eaten with sauce, which is delicious and mouth-watering.

Chu Ran picked up a piece of venison, and the sauce on it was sent by Mrs. Pan. The taste was slightly different from that of Da Chu, and it had a special aroma in his mouth.She put it on Xinyang's plate, "Is Uncle Ning going to make a fuss about building a hot spring recently?"

"I haven't heard of it. He was rehearsing a new song and dance, and he didn't take me to play." Xinyang took a big bite of the barbecue, and the different sauces made her squint her eyes happily: "Sister, it's delicious, this sauce How are the ingredients prepared?"

She was thinking about eating, but what Chu Ran was thinking about was King Ning's panxia hot springs, but she never told Xinyang.If you don't trust her, why did you recruit her to join the team when you wanted to build a hot spring.

After pressing her doubts, she opened her eyelids and glanced at Xinyang: "I heard that Uncle Ning bought the hot spring, do you know?"

"I didn't know about it, Uncle Wang didn't tell me." Xinyang didn't lift his head, his eyes were fixed on the barbecue in the cook's hand, and he licked his mouth eagerly.

It's a pity that Ah Ruan is not here, otherwise we can share delicious food together.

"Then you can ask some other day, and I agreed to take you to play together. It would be too unkind to leave you now, right?" Chu Ran tentatively took the barbecue from the cook and placed it in front of Xinyang.

Xinyang took a bite of a piece of meat before nodding in satisfaction: "Understood, I'll ask another day, but what can I say, I can't say it's yours."

She is not stupid, she can't do the thing of betraying elder sister.

"Just say you heard it from the side, just ask casually." Chu Ran said.

"Then I understand. Sister, do you still have this sauce, give me some, and I'll try it when I get back home." Xinyang looked at the little sauce left on the plate.

"Okay, go back and ask the maid to bring you some back." Chu Ran had no intention of talking to her, thinking about Lu Shi in Zhanghuatai.

She was worried, but Xinyang didn't notice it, and she was still happily thinking about the new sauce, thinking about the scene of the two of them grilling meat together when Ah Ruan came out of the palace.

Thinking about it, she couldn't restrain her joy. She drank the greasy tea and couldn't help but whispered to Chu Ran: "Sister, Concubine Ming is about to leave the palace."

"So fast?"

"I don't know, she told me to be obedient and make some new clothes, and she didn't explain anything else." Xinyang himself was also confused. In the past, he always heard Concubine Ming say that she would do it, and this time was no exception. Ask more.

Ah Ruan said that they will not be separated in the future, she said happily, "Sister, can you let me go back to the fief?"

It is an old rule for the princess to return to the fiefdom, but Xinyang has the husband-in-law of the Zhou family in front, so if she returns, she will definitely go back with her son-in-law.

If Xinyang wants to return to the fief together with Concubine Ming, he needs to reconcile first.

"Has the Zhou family agreed to reconcile?" Chu Ran asked.

"I mentioned before that the Second Young Master refuses, and Ming Concubine needs to solve it." Xin Yang changed into a sullen look again, getting married is easy, but reconciling is difficult.

"Let's make peace first." Chu Ran casually watched the sunset, and when he was anxious, Axiu came over in a hurry and said in a low voice: "The imperial concubine Ming in the palace asked someone to bring you a message. Please enter the palace. I have something to discuss with you." .”

Xinyang was still there, so she didn't want to say much, so she waved her hand to signal Axiu to go back first, and she sent Xinyang back home first.

Xinyang was still thinking about the sauce, so she took Axiu to pack some more. She smiled openly, unaware of the wind and rain that happened in the palace.

For several days in a row, Lu Shi never returned to his residence, and he was in Zhanghuatai, and he never went to Shuya.

Your majesty is exempt from court, and courtiers are used to it, and no one knows that the prime minister is staying overnight at Zhanghuatai, let alone that your majesty is unconscious.

In the past few days, Nei Lu Shi only sent a letter, telling Chu Ran not to worry, and not to enter the palace at will.

Chu Ran couldn't bear it anymore, and felt anxious inside. When he couldn't bear it, a new guest came to the mansion.

It is not easy for her to go into the palace to see Concubine Ming, so Concubine Ming had to come out of the palace to see her.

Concubine Ming wore a plain gauze dress, and she was dressed very refreshingly in autumn, with a cloak covering her beauty.She was already beautiful, and her stunning face made His Majesty reluctant to let go after seeing her at first glance, and it also made the stupid Xinyang love her forever.

"Is your empress here because of the matter of Xinyang and Li?" Chu Ran was concerned about Lu Shi, and had no intention of talking to her tactfully.

Zhou Wenyi would not agree with Xinyang and Li, the second wife of the Zhou family did not have much promise, how could Princess Climb give up.

Concubine Ming smiled lightly: "Your Highness is smart, I have a deal, Xinyang and Li, I will let the queen disappear in the harem."

"The queen is suppressed by the two of you, there is no chance of turning over, and now you can't see your majesty's face, the middle palace is like a cold palace, as long as King Heng makes a slight disrespectful move, your majesty will be cruel to get rid of it, I am worried What is she doing?"

"But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the emperor's grandson ascends the throne, she will still be the empress dowager. It will be unpredictable for you to cause some trouble." Concubine Ming was not in a hurry and was fully prepared when she came.

When she was looking for the princess to negotiate a deal, she also liked one thing, that is, she had sisterhood with Xinyang, but the prime minister did not.The prime minister is a cold hearted person, except for the princess, he doesn't care about the death of others.

As soon as Chu Ran was reminded by her, she understood instantly, and said, "It's okay, I'll talk to Mr. Zhou, and if Mr. Zhou insists on refusing, I can't."

"Grandfather hopes that they will all belong to the first house, and the second house will not be angry at all. With a little help from His Highness, grandfather will definitely agree."

Concubine Ming pointed out a clear path. The matter of promotion is in the hands of Lu Xiang, and the only way to do it is to get the princess to nod.

Everyone in the world has weaknesses, and the prime minister is no exception.

Chu Ran agreed without hesitation. Xinyang's matter was already on her mind, and even if there was no deal with Concubine Ming, she would not just sit idly by.

Concubine Ming came in a hurry, and couldn't wait to go back to the palace after seeing the princess's promise. Chu Ran thought of Lu Shi who was staying in the palace, so she gritted her teeth and took her car to the palace.

A lot of forbidden soldiers were added to the four main gates, and the carriage of the concubine Ming was also inspected when traveling.Concubine Ming was smart, she chose the gate of the palace guarded by Liancheng, as long as she showed her face, she could let her go.

After Liancheng let them go, Concubine Ming reminded: "General Lian will be on guard today and tomorrow, and His Highness will have to wait until tomorrow morning to leave the palace." After entering the palace gate, no one has the guts to check.

Concubine Ming asked people to deliver supplements to Zhanghua Terrace. All the palaces along the way were more strictly guarded than usual, and the gloomy atmosphere made the hurriedly walking palace people dare not raise their heads.

Chu Ran changed her clothes and pretended to be a palace servant next to Concubine Ming, carrying supplements, and was stopped after entering Zhanghua Terrace.

The palace was tightly guarded, but Zhang Huatai was even more guarded, the tonics were taken away, and the servants drove them out without even seeing Lu Shi's face.

Chu Ran was very annoyed and helpless. After wandering outside Zhang Huatai for a while, he saw the courtiers going in and out as usual without any abnormalities.

The inner palace and the outer court are operating as usual, and it is likely that Lu Shi and Concubine Xian have united.She had no choice but to find Concubine Xian, who was the only one who could enter and leave Zhanghuatai.

Concubine Xian was worried, and when she saw the princess in disguise, she covered her face with a smile: "Your Highness is also smart, Prime Minister Lu is busy with political affairs in the palace, and has never done anything bad, so you don't use it to investigate."

"Your Majesty, you are joking. How is your Majesty?" Chu Ran's face became hot when she teased her.

Talking about serious business, Concubine Xian put on a plain expression again, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's health is not good at all, and he took pills to hold it up, and now it's happening overnight, and it may be very difficult to restore the past. "

At the end of the crossbow, it is at stake.

Zhang Hua Terrace was surrounded by imperial guards, but no palace people were seen when they walked in. Every ten steps, they saw a servant. The servants lowered their eyes and bowed when they saw nobles. They didn't go far, just looked around.

Lu Shi was in the side hall, while Concubine Xian went to the main hall to serve Emperor Chu, the two separated on the imperial steps, Chu Ran was still holding the dessert that Concubine Xian gave her, all Lu Shi had eaten in recent days was sent by her .

After pushing open the hall door, she heard footsteps, and before she had time to close the shop door, she saw a dark figure.

Lu Shi was already vigilant. When he heard footsteps during his nap, he hurried out to have a look. He didn't think it was Chu Ran, "Your Highness, can't help it?"

"I just came here to see how Lu Xiang is doing in the palace, but there are other little palace people pestering you." Chu Ran didn't mean it, and walked lazily, looking carefully at Lu Yi's expression.

From the forehead to the tip of the toes, I took a closer look, and found that I lost a little weight, but my spirit is still good.

Lu Shi didn't listen to her nonsense, took her hand and walked into the hall, explaining in a low voice: "Your Majesty didn't know where to put the jade seal before he fell asleep, and the concubine Xian couldn't find it anywhere."

"Your Majesty must be hiding in a secret place. It's not easy to find, wait until he wakes up." Chu Ran said, she took a look at the furnishings and corners in the hall, and searched carefully.

Before she could read the whole thing, she heard Lu Shi's helpless voice: "There is no one else in the hall."
